If I let you farm, will you become the emperor of the empire?

"Your Highness, we are isolated and helpless." Seth said.

"It doesn't matter, they are vulnerable." Roman replied.

The consequences of provoking the Church are terrible.

The most terrifying thing is that no one will do business with him! !

This is easy to understand.

The influence of the belief in the gods in this land is very terrifying.

Counting all the priests, nuns, shallow believers, and fanatics.

These believers only account for 50% of the entire human society.

If all humans who say "Gods are above" are counted as believers of the gods, then they can account for about 80%.

The other 20% are pirates, barbarians and other ethnic groups with special beliefs.

The war potential of the Church is almost equal to the war potential of half of human society.

Dare to go against the Church?

Are you really not afraid of hundreds of millions of believers!

The three Black Iron Dukes can certainly fight against the Church together.

But that is only under the premise that the Church violates the Conqueror Order and they are willing to maintain the Conqueror Order.

However, the Conqueror Order is now rotten.

The King of Black Iron has cut off all ties with Roman, but Lord Conqueror and others claimed that they had not taken it back, pretending to know nothing.

Even the King of Black Iron was like this, so those well-informed merchants were even more reluctant to come here.

Admittedly, they could sell the rope to hang themselves.

But they certainly didn't want to gamble their entire fortune on an extremely slim possibility, otherwise, if they failed, they would be ruined and liquidated by the Church, so it was best to stay away from them.

This is bad, Roman was directly bullied by the whole world!

Roman, who wanted to bully the whole world, was very dissatisfied with this.

TMD!

You are still doing business with your shit? !

A group of soft egg merchants who cherish their lives when doing big things and forget their lives when they see small profits!

Sooner or later, I will order the army to kick open their doors and force them to trade freely with the City of Origin!

Forget it now.

Now that there is sufficient manpower, Roman will set up more production positions to complete the task of self-sufficiency.

In fact, with the current size of Origin City, the trade volume alone cannot meet daily needs.

In fact, since swallowing up 20,000 slaves, Origin City has fallen into a very scarce situation.

There are no clothes, no brick houses, no furniture, and a small number of people don’t even have tools to eat - there are chopsticks, but no bowls or plates.

Now the top priority is to expand production and establish an internal circulation system for Origin City.

Improve the supply of materials, recruit more workers, pay more wages, and then collect all the wages through department stores.

Roman had to use a batch of emergency sapphires and assign apostles who know how to produce to various positions.

Digging clay and firing pottery;

Large-scale and standardized collection of resin to make paint;

Using soybean oil to make a large number of oil lamps or candles;

Mass brewing vinegar and soy sauce;

Opening more professional breweries and soap factories...

Making blackboards and chalk, etc....

These measures can effectively improve the risk resistance of Origin City.

Moreover, these workshops can also play a role in diverting population and stabilizing society. Each workshop has a dedicated small kitchen.

Roman calculated the precise distribution of rations based on the number of laborers, and transported a batch of firewood, rice, oil and salt from the warehouse to the workshop kitchen every few days, so that they could harvest their output steadily from then on.

August came in a blink of an eye.

Roman learned that the pirate king Alex had defeated the Duke of Cracked Armor on the northern front.

The front began to move south.

The pirates advanced at a high speed, all the way to the Cracked Armor Territory, and were finally stopped by the pass of Tiehua County.

The victorious pirates finally made time to trade with Roman.

They escorted countless prisoners of war to trade with Roman, and exchanged them for a large number of weapons and arrows.

Especially the latter, who tasted the sweetness.

There have always been advantages and disadvantages in arms trading.

The advantage is that it is convenient and fast, and the disadvantage is that it is not conducive to developing one's own military potential.

It's very simple. Talents need to be cultivated and industries need to be established. This cannot be achieved overnight.

Once path dependence is formed, there will be no independence in some aspects. Once this path is cut off, it will be very uncomfortable.

Roman didn't know whether the pirates understood this principle.

But he didn't need to say more.

The pirates were in full swing. It would be best if they could break into the heart of the Black Iron Kingdom and help him block the Holy See's Crusade Army.

After all, the Holy See and the pirates were also hostile forces.

The pirates and Origin City knew that this might be their last deal this year.

But this time, Roman only asked for thousands of selected slaves.

Now Origin City really can't eat it.

The population is close to 80,000.

There is really not enough food.

The wartime rationing system can't hold up.

He is now waiting for this year's autumn harvest.

...

Early August.

Roman harvested a batch of medium-season rice, which had a slightly higher yield than early-season rice. He was very happy with more than 20,000 kilograms of rice.

At this time, the Holy See's Crusade Army was about to arrive at Roman's door.

"Your Highness, what should we do?" the witch said.

"Ignore him," Roman said.

The witches were stunned on the spot. They thought Roman would hit back hard. Even if they had not been together for a long time, they knew his style and had heard about his glorious deeds for a long time.

Roman was too lazy to pay attention to the stunned witch.

Fight?

Fight for nothing!

I said to let the gods come and attack me, but I didn't say to hit hard.

No matter what, we can't fight again this year!

Let them blockade it if they want. Anyway, it doesn't matter whether the city of origin is blocked or not in the current situation.

Roman decided to stay here this year.

He went to inspect the army.

The new recruits who just joined the army this year are in good shape.

After all, they have been trained with veterans, have a learning template, and naturally know how to do many things.

Roman held a military meeting and said to a group of senior military officials: "The army of the Holy See is coming."

The atmosphere was solemn and no one spoke.

Soldiers are bound by orders, and the army is the ultimate embodiment of Roman's will.

Whether to fight or not is just a matter of his words.

"But you continue to train, you don't need to do it now." Roman continued.

The non-commissioned officers had heard similar rumors a long time ago, and they were all relaxed now.

They are not afraid of war.

But if these new recruits are dragged to the battlefield, how many of them can come back alive?

"You still have to hurry up with your training mission - my safety and the safety of Origin City are in your hands."

Aaron stood up suddenly, raised his right hand, and shouted: "Do your job!"

The other non-commissioned officers were startled by him, and then they all stood up and saluted: "Do your job!"

The voice was thunderous!

Roman looked at the neat scene in front of him with satisfaction.

"Very good! I will select another 2,000 new recruits - our soldiers are well-trained, and our enemies are vulnerable! They are all paper tigers! There is nothing to be afraid of, we will crush them to death next year."

Roman left after saying this encouraging word.

After he left, Jet began to reorganize the army and began to conduct more rigorous and arduous field training.
