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

The first batch of resettled residents is about 13,000 people.

Brick houses are being built and roads are being repaired.

They can set a good example.

After the celebration, everyone tasted meat and received good treatment, and their enthusiasm for labor construction should have been mobilized.

Those who were allocated houses were overjoyed, and those who were not allocated houses were deeply stimulated.

Anyway, the efficiency of the subsequent labor will definitely be improved.

In addition, based on the running-in during this period, Roman found that the model of Origin City is not suitable for Fengrao City.

The landform of Fengrao City is too fragmented and the farmland is also scattered.

It takes more than an hour to travel back and forth every day.

Roman had to adopt the model of one settlement guarding a piece of farmland, and the brick house was built on the edge of the farmland.

Similar to land contracting, it is still a tax collection system.

Each settlement in Fengrao City must have its own small kitchen to distribute meals uniformly.

But before the output and grain storage are clear, they still have to rely on Roman to dispatch food to feed them.

Farm tools, heavy plows, oxen, and draft horses were also distributed accordingly.

Ten or so agricultural instructors were stationed in each settlement to manage the kitchen and farm. When a new batch of agricultural instructors were trained, they could go back.

Let's just leave it like this for now. This is the only solution.

Otherwise, the management cost will be too high.

It can be maintained in the short term, but it won't work in the long term.

Roman had to withdraw the army.

It was okay to ask them to help farm in an emergency, but now half a year has passed, and Fengrao City should also operate on its own.

The first problem these settlements face is the next round of sowing.

Because soybeans cannot be planted, only some vegetables can be planted

Turnips, radishes, cabbages, onions, peas, broad beans, lettuce, alfalfa, garlic...

Especially garlic, which is cold-resistant and has a wide range of uses. There is no harm in eating more, so it should be planted more.

As long as the hospital has allicin on hand, it can greatly reduce the mortality rate of pregnant women.

Roman ran through all the cultivated land one by one.

All settlements received corresponding instructions.

What vegetables should be planted on this land, and what beans should be planted on that land.

Roman arranged everything clearly in units of thousands of acres.

Fertilizer is also needed when planting vegetables to increase yields, and organic fertilizer is effective for all crops.

But there are no swamps and peat in Fengrao City, so it has to be transported from Origin City every time.

Thousands of trackers mustered up their strength to pull the boat full of peat upstream.

This round of planting the original 100,000 acres of land, and another 10,000 acres of grassland were sorted out for breeding, breeding farms were built, and a batch of piglets were brought from Origin City.

It is said to be blooming on many sides, but this is also the limit.

Because Roman can't spare manpower to cultivate more land.

The main reason is to build infrastructure.

Roman dispatched a construction team of more than 1,000 people from Origin City - the infrastructure of Origin City is almost done.

But Fengrao City doesn't have it.

If there is a progress bar for infrastructure such as building houses and paving roads, then this progress bar in the first half of the year has only increased by one-fifth.

I can't stand it!

Only one-fifth of the work was done in the first half of the year, but the remaining four-fifths will be done in the second half of the year.

This is non-negotiable.

The worse the road conditions are, the more roads need to be built. This is the most effective way to improve organizational strength.

The population of Origin City is also increasing. Now it is about to break through the 70,000 mark.

The newly added slaves are raised and put into labor construction.

Roman took advantage of the fact that Morey and Daken had not left Origin City and brought them here.

"You go to Iceland and find the King of Iceland, and tell him that I want to do wool business with him."

"Yes, Your Highness."

"What if he refuses?"

The two asked at the same time.

Hearing this, Roman paused: "I will give him a reason that he can't refuse."

He said: "You just tell the King of Iceland like this - if he refuses to do business with me or wants to collect my business taxes, then I will cooperate with the pirates and support Alex to become the new King of Iceland."

The two were a little nervous when they heard this.

The first King of Iceland was also a pirate king, but was later defeated by the conqueror. After the two kings met in Iceland, the latter gave him the status of King of Iceland.

He gave the entire Egoland, the entire Iceland, and the Thorn Peninsula to the pirate king.

The Kingdom of Iceland was born.

But when Alex brought a new batch of pirates ashore, Iceland also became the target of pirates' looting, and Roman had many slaves from Iceland.

Now the King of Iceland has lost the Egoland (no one listens to him), the Thorn Peninsula (conquered by Alex), and now only Iceland is left.

Alex is full, but he certainly doesn't mind being full.

If the King of the Valley and the Pirate King join forces, the King of Iceland will really collapse.

So Roman is just a threat and doesn't want to do this.

Iceland is surrounded by the sea, with natural barriers, superior geography, and developed trade. Although it is an island, it is not small in area. Millions of people live there. There are rivers and plains, which are suitable for grazing and farming, and the wool is large and excellent.

Once the pirates occupied Iceland, their quality would inevitably destroy Iceland's production.

He wanted a stable wool base, not a land that had been ravaged by pirates.

He wanted to transport a large amount of wool from Iceland to the City of Origin, and let the textile workers process it into clothes and bedding in the textile factory.

Of course, it was unlikely to dump it directly.

At this stage, he had to use it for his own use.

If this plan succeeds, the residents of Origin City and Abundant City will be able to work in winter!

He was fed up with their poor appearance without clothes to wear.

When Morey saw Roman say this, he immediately understood that he had a heavy responsibility: "Your Highness, I happen to be familiar with Iceland, and this trip will live up to your trust."

Roman found that the young businessman in front of him had become more confident since he took the initiative to find the witch.

You know, when he negotiated with Morey before, although the latter was also a qualified businessman, he was just too qualified, so he lacked the spirit of adventure and acted cautiously.

Now he does things much more smoothly and decisively.

It can be seen that he is a material for doing big things.

Roman felt that Morey was worthy of being the son of a big businessman, with courage and spirit.

He was the messenger of the King of the Valley, who set foot on the land of Iceland to threaten the King of Iceland. It would be normal for the latter to kill him.

"Okay, I'll wait for your good news." Roman said, "I don't want slaves this time. You should bring me Icelandic sheep. The more varieties, the better."

Soon, the caravan from Origin City set sail again.

Carrying salt and iron, it sailed down the Bro River and headed north.

Roman said it was a threat, but if the King of Iceland was really stupid and dared to kill his envoy.

That would be courting death!

Roman assembled the army from the City of Plenty.

Now it's time to start recruiting soldiers.

Force is the greatest reliance of the current era.

It is also the confidence of Roman to look down on the whole land.

More than 7,000 soldiers may be enough.

But perhaps not enough.

Because with only more than 7,000 people, it is impossible to attack at the same time.

More troops are needed!

70,000 people in the City of Plenty and 80,000 people in the City of Origin, a total of 150,000 people.

Roman wants to take out 10,000 people from them...

Isn't this too much?
