Knight Lord: Start with Daily Intelligence

As a Northerner, Tyber Rose was a promising child from a young age. As soon as he could lift a hammer at the age of three or four, he knew to go around chopping people.

A little older, he took the first step towards becoming a champion warrior: killing a snowfield ice wolf.

The White Wolf God, Ulric, seeing his courage, immediately bestowed divine grace upon him, imprinting his mark on him.

Tyber Rose then became a prominent figure in the North, with other Northerners, Chaos followers, and wild beasts and monsters wandering in the wilderness all becoming targets for him to farm achievements.

According to the normal plot development, his barbarity and will to kill would perfectly match Ulric's image of a champion, and then one day in his destiny, he would obtain a powerful white wolf and become a prominent Ulric champion.

But fate took a turn in his thirtieth year when he witnessed Chaos monsters in the wilderness launching an invasion and plunder of Nord territory in the autumn. Ulric's followers rashly launched an attack, fighting the Chaos army in the wilderness like savage monsters.

The monsters were repelled, but the Northern province's coalition forces also suffered heavy losses.

This scene had been happening every year since he was a child, and he had witnessed it no less than ten times. He had had enough of this barbaric and uninteresting tactic. If it was just to chop people, why didn't he join the Chaos legions like other Northerners on the ice plains? After all, the four Chaos Gods were indeed much more reliable and generous than the human gods.

So Tyber Rose left the snowy plains of the North and began to travel to the central and southern parts of the Empire. During this time, he fought against Chaos Spawn and even killed a troll with only a broken shield.

He visited the Redema Church in the center of the Empire and the Knights of Manann in the west, but Tyber Rose was not satisfied with these churches.

Especially Manann, the Sea God. Many people in the Empire believe that he is actually an evil god, only his priests insist: Manann is not an evil god, don't listen to those bumpkins. Manann is just fickle, capricious, and moody—in fact, just like the weather.

The Knights of the Sea God like to say a proverb: Manann will have a feast tonight.

Meaning a terrible storm is coming.

But Tyber Rose always felt that this was different from what he thought and expected.

He needed a feast from the gods to cleanse the filth of the mortal world, but it didn't seem to be Manann's kind of storm.

Until he came to the south of the Empire and came into contact with the Church of the Radiant Sun, which was completely different from the cold, cruel snowfields of the north.

Whether it was the concept of glorious warfare, the wise tactics and strategies, or the human version of the Waaagh! feast of war against Chaos, everything met Tyber Rose's various aspirations for war. At that moment, he clearly felt that this was the answer he had been searching for.

Only the Church of the Radiant Sun can save this crisis-ridden Empire, the idea became deeply rooted in his heart.

So, traveling to Marienburg, he heard about the recently rising Black Forest Territory and decisively came to join it.

Su Li was of course happy to accept him. Such a champion knight, even within the Empire, would be gladly accepted by barons and earls. As long as he was willing to join the noble's army, some nobles would be willing to give him a village fief and promote him to a kingdom knight.

But Su Li liked this knight, but the other knights were very repulsive to him.

Not only because he was a bald, bearded Northerner, but also because of his "self-sufficiency" custom.

The North is not like the South, it is desolate and barbaric, so the Northerners have developed the habit of plundering. Tyber Rose is no exception.

As soon as he joined the territory, he found that the knights of the territory had very luxurious equipment, which was in stark contrast to his tattered armor.

He also knew that this was the custom advocated by the followers of the Radiant Sun. Knights always prepared a very sophisticated, luxurious, and golden armor for themselves.

Tyber Rose certainly wanted such a set, but his assets were not enough to support him to buy such a fine armor.

So he started various methods of seizing by force, such as "duels", "threats", and "trouble-making", and began to collect the equipment on his body.

Although his armor was average, the warhammer 【Annihilation】in his hand was his most powerful trophy, with perfect quality. So other knights suffered a lot in battle.

In line with the excellent character of "plucking feathers from every passing goose," Tyber Rose quickly put together a set of mithril rune armor, two dragon blood stones, and a guardian ring.

His efficiency shocked even Su Li, but before Su Li could criticize him, he took the initiative to come to Su Li and said bluntly that he wanted to enter the Griffon Forest.

Because the other knights all had demi-griffon mounts, and he wanted one too.

The other knights all objected and suspected that this guy was just here to plunder a circle of equipment and run away, right?

However, Su Li had an intelligence system and was not worried about this at all, so he decisively agreed to his request.

Then this guy gave Su Li a big one. He called on the people in Black Forest Town, whoever wanted to take risks in the Blood Pine Forest could follow him.

He really gathered more than sixty adventurers, mercenaries, and gamblers. In short, he took such a rabble on the road, and many people thought that they would most likely become monster feces in the Blood Pine Forest.

But more than a cycle later, Tyber Rose returned smoothly and brought back a lot of spoils!

He rode a magnificent demi-griffon, followed by a large number of armed thugs with brand-new equipment. Under the leadership of Tyber Rose, these people cleared two goblin tribes, defeated a beastman herd, and attacked a hidden forest bandit camp!

In line with the principle of not letting go of anything useful, they did not let go of even a broken arrow, a mineral, or a wild herb!

They brought back more than twenty slaves and prisoners (including women) and also contributed a demi-griffon egg to Su Li!

He also kept one for himself and held an auction in Black Forest Town, which caused a sensation among the Corona Knights and a large number of territorial knights.

No one didn't want a demi-griffon egg. Even if they didn't use it themselves, they could leave it to their sons and daughters. This was a partner that could grow up together!

In the end, this demi-griffon egg was sold for 2180 gold crowns under the auction of the Corona Knights' huge wealth!

Su Li collected 1308 gold coins in taxes alone!

However, whether it was the addition of immigrant groups, the joining of fierce generals, or the increase in various taxes, they were all trivial matters for Su Li.

The biggest gain from this month of peaceful life was undoubtedly the progress in farming and development.

After all, farming and expanding the power are the kingly way of territorial development.

Since the Summer Solstice Festival, farming has been going on for almost three months, and the farming business in Bjorn Bay has been fruitful and very gratifying.

Especially in this harvest season, Su Li couldn't help but come to inspect this border granary area.

Since the main crop planted in the field is wheat, it is already harvest season in the hot summer.

The harvest period of wheat is generally at the end of June, less than July.

Since the territory has obtained a lot of divine grace, this harvest season will inevitably usher in the second bumper harvest.

Su Li stood on the dam of Bjorn Bay and looked down. He saw that the wheat on tens of thousands of acres of fertile fields was already golden, and the heavy wheat ears even bent the wheat stalks.

This scene made Su Li feel particularly happy. Su Li asked Vandal, the Minister of Agriculture who followed him, "My minister, the farming business of the territory this summer has been fully entrusted to you. Now that it is harvest season, how is the result?"

Vandal said with a smile: "Thanks to the irrigation of Lake Levlin, the farmland below Bjorn Bay is particularly fertile. The first acre of wheat field harvested this morning produced 310 catties!"

310 catties?!

Lake Levlin's water really has the effect of fertilizer!

He remembered that the spring wheat was only 190 catties before. At that time, everyone was full of yearning for the future, and Vandal was even more ambitious, thinking that the summer wheat yield per mu might be as high as 270 catties.

But, obviously everyone underestimated the effect of Lake Levlin's water!

The yield per mu is not 190 catties, nor 270 catties, but as high as 310 catties.

Su Li immediately asked with concern: "How many wheat fields do we have in total? You should have counted it clearly this summer, right?"

The work of the Minister of Agriculture is not only to guide the people to cultivate, but also to count and register the land.

Vandal immediately replied: "Lord Lord, we have completed the statistics of the land registration."

"Only here in Bjorn Bay, the scale of your wheat fields has reached 33,000 mu."

"In addition, there are more than 9,000 mu of pumpkins, beets, rapeseed, etc. that are gradually maturing."

Su Li asked with interest: "How much is the yield per mu of pumpkins?"

"The yield per mu is about 7,000 catties. The largest pumpkin weighs more than 300 catties by itself, and it takes two or three people to lift it. A carriage can only carry two."

These vegetables are really high-yielding. Su Li made a preliminary estimate and said with a smile: "Doesn't that mean that the grain output this year has reached 10.23 million catties?"

It is not appropriate to calculate more than 10 million catties of grain harvest in catties. The conversion is about 5,000 tons.

Of course, this is not a big achievement in modern society, and it is not enough in the unified dynasty. A grain ship can carry about 200 tons of grain, and 25 grain ships can transport the summer output of Bjorn Bay.

But for a small feudal territory in this world, such a large output is enough to ensure that the entire territory will have no worries about hunger until winter!

These 10 million catties of grain alone are enough for 5,000 people and livestock in the territory to eat for more than 300 days.

Of course, war horses and griffons, these high-level mounts, consume more wealth and need to be carefully fed. Sometimes they have to be fed with fine meat.

But the territory also has the output of fishing and hunting, which means that the territory can expand greatly.

For example, taking out 3 million catties of grain to brew wine or trade to the dwarves can exchange a lot of wealth from the dwarves.

At the same time, the territory can also hire more ogres, these big eaters, to speed up the construction of the territory.

The territory currently has an ogre community, but it is at the foot of a mountain in the halfling autonomous territory. In order to prevent them from rioting, the members of the ogre construction team are generally not on vacation at the same time. They all work in shifts. There are usually only dozens of ogres in the ogre community.

The other ogres are either building buildings in Black Forest Town or digging water conservancy projects to build city walls.

There are currently about 300 ogres in the territory. They enter and exit the cafeteria, construction site, and tavern like workers. Unless it is necessary, they will not interact with humans. If it is necessary to communicate with humans, it is usually done by their foreman halflings.

The halflings have long wanted to recruit more ogre manpower, but due to the previously high grain prices, there has been no suitable opportunity.

The so-called half-sized children eat up their parents. A few teenagers with big stomachs eat as many as several catties of bread a day.

What's more, these big-eating ogres, the price of their infinite power is that they can't fill their hungry stomachs.

With the output of tens of millions of catties of grain, the grain price can be smoothly reduced.

Realize the imperial dream of buying one catty of grain with one copper coin.

This is the stable bottom line that the empire has been pursuing for thousands of years. The empire's currency has great purchasing power. Generally, if one copper coin cannot buy one catty of grain, it means that the grain price fluctuates too much, which will cause great harm to people's livelihood and stability.

And if these tens of millions of catties of grain are sold, Su Li can also harvest 1000 gold crowns of wealth!

Although this is far less than the scale of industrial output, this is the normal level of most territories in the empire.

A barony, relying only on farming, can have a very considerable tax revenue of 1000~2000 gold crowns a year after deducting costs, consumption, and knight salaries.

The scale of the army is slightly expanded, or if there is a natural disaster, you will see your finances bankrupt that year.

Therefore, many lords, while having noble status, have also borrowed a lot of high-interest loans from knight orders, merchants, and nobles.

But Vandal then gave Su Li a surprise, saying: "Lord Lord, perhaps our output is far more than that!"

The newest novel is first published on 6|9|book|bar!

"We also have 300 mu of blood sacrifice fertile fields, each mu producing 3000 catties of grain. In addition, with the output of various farms, farms, and autonomous territories, theoretically our grain output will increase by half."

This good news really made Su Li overjoyed. He looked down at Bjorn Bay and asked, "Which piece is our blood sacrifice fertile field?"

Vandal immediately pointed to a particularly lush and golden fertile field near the forest belt below the dam and said, "Lord Lord, do you see that red land? The one that is significantly different from other yellow lands is our blood sacrifice fertile field. The Father of Grain has held blood sacrifices there twice, the first time sacrificing two hundred mu, and the second time sacrificing eighty mu."

Su Li followed his finger and saw a wheat field with a darker soil color. It didn't look like blood, but like red soil, rich in iron oxides. This kind of fertile soil also exists on Earth, mainly in the southern hilly areas.

But in this world, this has nothing to do with iron elements. This is a typical sign of having divine grace.

This meant that Leah would care for this land, granting it incredible fertility.

There's no need to dwell on the reasons for divine matters; it's basically a nuclear-powered farm, perpetually fertile, requiring no crop rotation or fallow periods. In areas with abundant divine grace, ten harvests a year are possible, essentially one harvest per month.

Hessen Land spared no effort to have its 280 acres blessed by divine grace.

The army brought back all the corpses and flesh from the foot of the Gray Mountains, allowing Bolevik to successfully hold the first sacrifice, achieving the great feat of 200 acres.

The remaining 80 acres were obtained through the territory's second sacrifice.

With the support of Su Li's intelligence system, the knights destroyed two strongholds of the Bronze Sisterhood, finding demonic statues with divine power.

These statues could be sacrificed, and when choosing which god to offer them to, Su Li decided to offer them to the Goddess of Dawn after some thought.

The effect was remarkable; 30,000 acres of farmland yielded 10 million catties of grain, while these 300 acres of blood-sacrificed red land yielded 1 million catties of grain.

No wonder the lords of this world believe that the extent of a territory's development depends on the area of land blessed by divine grace.

Vandal continued, "This year has been a year of favorable weather. The territory's various grains combined may amount to as much as 30 million catties."

"Our vision of a border granary can now be initially realized."

30 million catties of grain, this number made Su Li very satisfied.

You must know that when he first arrived in the territory, Hessen Land's grain reserves were only more than 60,000 catties, and even at the most, it was only over 100,000 catties.

10 and 3000, that's a 30-fold difference.

The joy of the harvest made Su Li smile, and he instructed, "During the harvest season, let the people of the territory seize the time to collect all the grain. Minimize the losses caused by the Green Dragon's affiliated legions as much as possible."

Hessen Land has experienced two harvest seasons, and there is less than half a year left this year. The green dragon in Blood Pine Forest may awaken at any time.

This is an object that Hessen Land must guard against.

Su Li even suspected that this giant dragon wouldn't have deliberately chosen this time to awaken, so it could take advantage of the harvest outside the territory and plunder a wave, returning fully loaded.

It seems that autumn defense is of utmost importance in any world.

Vandal immediately assured, "Lord, our Church of Dawn has formulated a detailed plan with the Provincial Affairs Office to ensure that all grains are harvested within 2-4 days. Then, we will mobilize slaves as much as possible, taking advantage of the clear autumn weather, when efficiency is highest, to maximize the reclamation of cultivated land, striving to reclaim 1,000 qing of land below Bjorn Bay this year."

1000 qing of land, which is 100,000 mu of cultivated land.

If a pioneering territory can have 100,000 mu of cultivated land in the first year, then next year it may have 250,000 mu, or even 300,000 mu.

After two years, the territory will meet the standard of a kingdom knight's territory in the first round of assessment.

Based on one man with five family members cultivating 100 mu of land, 100,000 mu of land can be cultivated by 1,000 households.

Kingdom knights rarely manage to govern a village with 1,000 households.

Such a large village would be considered a large village anywhere.

Su Li felt that he could even directly challenge, starting his peerage at the level of a Baron.

However, this goal would not be easy to achieve, and he had to start steadily promoting various aspects from now on.

Su Li asked with concern, "Can we finish in two to four days? After all, there are nearly 40,000 mu of various fertile fields just in Bjorn Bay."

Vandal said confidently, "We have set a floating period of two days, considering possible problems. Under normal circumstances, two days are enough to harvest all the grain."

"This harvest season is different from the last harvest season, which was so rushed. We have made careful preparations this time."

"We have built 20 harvesters alone. With so many harvesters operating simultaneously, it is estimated that the grain in Bjorn Bay can be harvested in one or two days."

"Then they will split up and go to various farms and manors, and after cooperating with the serfs to harvest all the grain in the territory, we will lease these agricultural tools to the needy residents through the mechanical company under the Provincial Affairs Office."

"Hahaha! Good! Good!" Su Li praised with a big laugh: "This is an excellent idea. By shortening the harvest time with machinery, the people will have more time to reclaim new farmland."

Only the people of the Church of Dawn would promote this kind of thing.

So it doesn't seem to fit the Empire's desperate style.

But Su Li supported the decision of the Church of Dawn this time. The High King of the Dwarves, such a stubborn person, is working hard to govern and promote reforms to increase the efficiency of the Dwarves.

His human empire must also keep pace with the times.

Su Li had a stable life for a month or two these days, and he was in a very good mood, and he was also willing to improve the lives of the people.

Although this can easily breed all kinds of chaos, such as the people being seduced by Slaanesh and Tzeentch when they are idle.

There may even be orgies between humans and beastmen.

But Su Li felt that Hessen Land was still small, and with the assistance of the Daily Intelligence System, he could control the spread of Chaos.

During this time, he destroyed two Ranald altars, three evil cults, and killed a dozen cultists who had infiltrated Hessen Land.

Even the evil and chaotic forces bred in the row houses of Hessen Town have been cleaned up four or five times by Su Li.

After the work arrangements for the harvest season were determined, the efficiency of the territory was very high.

In just one day, the harvesters harvested more than 20,000 mu of wheat fields below Bjorn Bay.

The threshing grounds were brightly lit by bonfires, and each threshing ground was filled with slaves pushing carts to transport wheat ears. The twenty-seven threshing grounds around Bjorn Bay were too busy!

But the brand-new wheat transported out of the threshing ground bag by bag was so tempting, and the golden color filled the slaves' hearts with joy.

A good harvest means that the lord is in a good mood, and if the lord is in a good mood, everyone may change their destiny.

And Su Li did not disappoint their expectations. After seeing carts of grain filling the newly built granary in the castle, which could store 300,000 catties of grain, he waved his hand happily and promised each slave a reward of half a catty of Puma meat, and forbade them from trading it.

If any lucky guy successfully awakened his bloodline, he would receive the generous reward of being freed from slavery.

This made the slaves work enthusiastically even in the middle of the night. They couldn't repay the lord's kindness! They simply couldn't repay it!

Hearing the cheers on the threshing ground, not to mention the slaves of other knights, even some freemen were so envious that their eyeballs were about to fall out at this moment.

This is a magical beast meat that can help them awaken the wood attribute bloodline.

It is equivalent to the lord helping them test their qualifications for free.

Some young knights who were working hard to train and exercise their physique couldn't help but point here with red eyes: "Coach, I also want to be a slave."
