King

Early the next morning, everyone began to measure the land. The kingdom has clear regulations on the territory area. According to different natural conditions, the area of ​​the noble territory is also different.

An ordinary barony covers an area of ​​between 120 square kilometers and 300 square kilometers. Under special circumstances, giant territories of thousands of square kilometers or tiny territories in tiny areas may appear.

Generally speaking, plain areas with fertile land and easy irrigation, and prosperous commercial areas located on major transportation routes, have relatively small areas.

In mountainous areas where farming is difficult, irrigation is difficult, and transportation is inconvenient, the territory area is larger. The Northland, which is threatened by orcs, has a slightly larger territory.

If it is a desert area, only the oasis area is calculated, and the desert is a bonus, so the territory of every desert lord is huge.

The southeastern province is dominated by fertile plains, and the territories of nobles are usually small.

Theoretically speaking, the hilly area where the Hudson is located is between the plains and the mountains. The area can be taken care of to a certain extent, but it will not exceed it too much.

It was only thanks to the last stubbornness of the nobles of the southeastern provinces that they insisted that these small bumpkins were mountains, so they became mountains.

The people responsible for land surveying are all close friends and relatives, so it is inevitable to be rough in the specific operation.

The undeveloped land that was not marked on the map obviously could not be counted and was simply ignored by everyone.

Under Hudson's hard work and public relations with gold coins, the three hundred square kilometers of territory starting from the mining area and extending from south to north were without any discount.

A third of Maple Leaf Town, north of the mining area, has been enclosed. The plain area suitable for farming alone is close to fifty square kilometers. The three hilly knights next to it were deliberately bypassed by Hudson.

It made the measurement team feel numb. If there hadn't been a clear hint above that the local nobles could be taken care of as much as possible, there would be absolutely no room for negotiation in this territorial division.

If someone makes a complaint, they will definitely be investigated. There is no excuse for 100% illegal operations.

"Hudson, is this too much? You are making it difficult for us. If someone makes a fuss..."

Baron Sikollari said in embarrassment. They came here to dig holes and lay minefields for the feudal nobles, but not for themselves.

If there are no problems now, it does not mean there will be no problems in the future. Once the lid is lifted, it will be a political stain on them.

"Uncle Sikolari, you can't just take things at face value. From the mining area to Maple Leaf Town, there are mostly undeveloped mountains and forests in between.

In fact, my territory is only the land in Maple Leaf Town and the enclave of the mining area. This part in the middle only needs to record a long and narrow path, and the rest does not need to be included in the area.

As a result, the registered territory area is only over one hundred square kilometers. It completely complies with the regulations of the kingdom, and no one can find fault with it.

Without dividing it like this, my territory wouldn’t be enough! You can’t let me annex the three nearby knight realms, right?

Now these areas are owned by owners, so asking them to move places is against the rules. "

Hudson said meaningfully.

Last night's banquet was not in vain. Through chatting with Hudson, we learned that many enclaves were born during this territorial division.

Many areas can obviously be connected, but in the end they are deliberately separated by artificially drawn boundaries.

Hudson was unaffected, on the one hand the territory was the southernmost, and on the other the result of PR.

Perhaps these hidden dangers can be solved by exchanging land in the future, but human nature is greedy and ultimately cannot satisfy both parties.

Originally, there were many gaps between the nobles of northern Xinjiang and the local nobles. Now that territorial friction is involved, the relationship between neighbors will definitely not get better.

Seeing Hudson drawing on the map, the original three hundred square kilometers of territory shrunk by one-half in an instant, and everyone's faces suddenly looked much better.

As long as you can't find anything wrong with it, the rest won't matter. As for whether someone will challenge Baron Hudson over the issue of unclear ownership in the future, that has nothing to do with them.

In the final analysis, the world still has to speak with strength. What's more, even if someone wants to compete with Hudson for this vast Salam Mountain Range, they still have to reach it.

The directly adjacent areas are separated by Maple Leaf Town and the three knights. Unless one of the knight realms is annexed, the tentacles will not be able to reach out.

Although the Alpha Kingdom cannot be said to be prosperous, its basic order is still guaranteed. Under the rules system, it is not that simple to annex the territories of neighbors.

Except for the five major families in Northern Xinjiang who completed the major annexation by killing people with borrowed knives, other regions in the kingdom maintained balance. If you want to expand your territory, every step you take is difficult.

Once a rough framework has been negotiated, the specific details do not need to be clarified. He was originally responsible for digging holes, so naturally he would not clarify all the details.

After sending everyone away, standing by the creek and looking at Maple Leaf Town a few miles away, Hudson sighed secretly.

Although he had taken advantage of this, it was a pity that the bureaucrats in the Governor's Mansion still had some moral integrity and could not let him take down the Maple Leaf Town Hall.

Once an opportunity is missed, it will never come again. There is nothing ready-made to pick up, and building a big town by yourself is a big expense.

Resisting the temptation, I rinsed my face with cold water from the stream. After calming down, Hudson's face became increasingly ugly.

The interests are so exciting that I originally thought that I would be able to deal with it properly after seeing through Earl Pierce's plan, but I couldn't help but fall into the trap.

The land area is limited. If Hudson takes more, someone is destined to take less. You can imagine how the lords who will be entrusted to Maple Leaf Town in the future will feel - holy shit!

It was supposed to be a big and prosperous town, but one-third of it was poached out of nowhere. It would be fine if there was compensation somewhere else, but if not I would have to be pissed to death.

Given another chance to choose, Hudson will still not show mercy. The plain of more than 50 square kilometers, based on 80% of the cultivated land, is more than 60,000 acres of fertile land.

They are all ready-made land. As long as the serfs clear the weeds, they can be cultivated again. It is far more economically valuable than opening up wasteland in hilly areas.

According to the farming habits of the southeastern provinces, the "one till and two rest" system of land is implemented, and more than 20,000 acres of fertile land are produced every year.

The land in the southeastern province is fertile. Based on the yield of 150 pounds of rye per mu, the output is 3 million pounds. If we plant various types of grains in one season, the total output is estimated to be the same.

After deducting the farming costs, daily consumption of serfs, and tithes, it was not a big problem for the lord to record 40% of the income.

It can be said that as long as there is no war or natural disaster, every noble lord in the Southeast Province will have a happy life.

As long as this fertile plain land is managed well, most of the territory's food problems will be solved. Even if the population explodes in the future, it can be solved by continuously reclaiming wasteland.

With such a big piece of fat put to his mouth, Hudson couldn't refuse it at all.

Not to mention offending a Northern Xinjiang noble, he would not give in even if he was directly involved in a fight.

It can be said that as long as the interests are in place, there is no principle that cannot be broken through. If so, it’s not enough.
