Knight Lord: Start with Daily Intelligence

#53 - Territory Development (Part 1)

This world is both idealistic and materialistic. To motivate the serfs to work actively and diligently, both psychological encouragement and material abundance are necessary.

Without enough food, no matter how much you spur on, or how many literally "big pancake", used metaphorically for empty promises you draw for them, they won't have the motivation to work on an empty stomach.

With Su Li's ample food supply, everyone in the entire Black Forest Territory is full of energy and vigor.

Especially with Su Li's assistance from the [Daily Intelligence] system, a surprise comes every few days, inspiring the morale of all the subjects/people, making them enthusiastically participate in the construction of the territory.

Therefore, the development of the Black Forest Territory is very gratifying. In just half a month, with the assistance of the [Daily Intelligence] system, Su Li has steadily established a preliminary foothold in this fertile land.

After half a month of careful management, the territory's various undertakings have made very significant progress.

Su Li's castle has been cleaned up, and the attendants and slaves have completed the renovation and cleaning of his castle's main building. It rained one spring day, but there was no air or water leakage in the room. Inside the room, he listened to the sound of the rain outside, the sound of raindrops hitting various things. That feeling was really very calm, a tranquility in the midst of chaos, and he was especially satisfied with life. So, in the middle of it, he took Hild and Avril at the window where the rain was pouring down, and comfortably cultivated three times.

This spring rain also nourished all things. His castle and the territory's stables and pastures have been completed, piled high with the green pasture harvested by the serfs.

The stables inside the castle are divided into two places. On the left is the raptor house where the Death Claws reside. The little griffon has developed quite a bit of the majesty of a beast after more than a month of development. It can no longer stand on Su Li's shoulder, so Su Li built a separate room for it. Except for Su Li, who can enter, any serf or attendant who enters may be attacked by this fierce little guy.

On the right side of the stables are Su Li's magnificent warhorses. Su Li has a total of six warhorses. In addition to the two he brought out from Bauhinia Castle, there are also three hartebeest that were captured on the road, and the last one was a trophy obtained from a failed capture operation by the knights after entering the territory.

The daily intelligence showed that in the north of the territory's fertile central plain, in the low hills named Green Leaf Land, there is a considerable herd of hartebeest. These hartebeest have a certain unicorn bloodline, with two long and short horns on their foreheads. They are irritable and very wild. After taming, they are very excellent heavy cavalry mounts.

Su Li once asked Friedrich to take the knights to ambush them, but these hartebeest were very vigilant. Friedrich took four elite knights, six formal knights, and more than twenty armed attendants, but only captured 7 steeds. The large army of wild horses escaped. If you want to capture them again, you can only wait for the next intelligence update.

In addition to the six steeds in his stables, there are many livestock in the territory's pasture. There are a total of 36 warhorses, which does not quite match the number of knights. This is very normal.

The knights of this world are divided into charge knights and foot knights. For example, the territory's most powerful Orstein knight is a foot knight. He and his fine gold war hammer and golden mastiff beast always appear together, chopping up a large number of trolls and beasts in foot battles.

Generally, you can tell what kind of knight he is by looking at the knight's weapon. Those with lances and halberds usually fight on horseback, while those with war hammers and sword shields are generally foot knights.

This is also related to the fact that the empire's enemies are full of demons and monsters. If only relying on armed attendants, it is difficult for infantry to block the frontal impact of the monsters. Therefore, a knight order generally has several foot knight companies leading armed attendants to fight and inspire their morale.

The knights of the Black Forest Territory also roughly follow this practice. About 50 knights are divided into 3 squads of charge knights and 2 squads of foot knights.

In order to ensure the knights' marching operations, the pasture also raises 32 packhorses and nags. These were all bought by Su Li along the way to transport supplies. After all, he picked up along the way and brought a lot of food and tools, so there must be enough vehicles and horses to transport them.

In addition to the knights' related warhorses and packhorses, the pasture also raises 12 oxen, 8 dairy cows, and 50 sheep!

With the support of his daily intelligence system, the serfs successfully captured more than a dozen goats in the northern Green Leaf Hills. In order to inspire morale, Su Li also ordered the slaughter of 3 of them, using roast mutton to encourage everyone's enthusiasm.

In the pasture, the biggest increase in wealth is undoubtedly the fluff rabbits. The pregnant mother rabbit successfully gave birth, producing 8 little rabbits!

Ordinary rabbits can give birth to 6~14 little rabbits in a litter, but the fluff rabbits are larger in size. This mother rabbit gave birth to 8, which is considered relatively high-yielding among fluff rabbits. When Su Li heard that it had successfully given birth, he also went to see this great contributor to the territory. Originally, Su Li also wanted to make a spicy rabbit head to taste, but these newborn little rabbits had no fur on their bodies, and the pink and fleshy rabbits were squeezed together, which was quite cute, so Su Li raised his hand and waited for them to grow up a little and have more meat.

While the pasture's output increased, the territory's fishing and hunting development remained stable. During this period, the territory encountered two schools of fish passing by. Ten smoking huts were built, and with sparks flying, they finally managed to preserve more than 80 baskets of smoked fish for the territory, which is probably more than 6,000 a unit of weight, approximately 500 grams or 1.1 pounds. The Lord Chancellor Laun specifically built two cellars to store these abundant foods.

Su Li awarded the remaining fresh fish to the soldiers and serfs, which made the serfs very happy and motivated every day. Everyone said that being a serf for the lord is a blessing bestowed by the gods. Other territories, even the free people who run farms, may not be able to compare to their lives.

This is not entirely because Su Li is generous, but because these dead fish will stink if they are not eaten as soon as possible.

At the same time, the territory's fish pond is also developing well, and has been expanded to more than 20 meters, filled with at least a thousand live fish. This scale is the result of the serfs' full efforts in digging. The armed attendants were taken back to the training ground by the Orstein knight after digging for a while. The Orstein knight could tolerate them being borrowed as coolies for one or two days, and he forcibly restrained his temper for a week for the sake of the Dragon Blood Stone, but if they were not doing their jobs for a whole half month, it was something that he, as the military commander, could not accept.

However, Su Li did not object to his commander's idea, because during this period, [Daily Intelligence] also reminded him that a group of forest wolves would appear and attack the ten serfs in the logging camp who were logging for the territory.

A group of wild wolves, with only 30余(30余: over 30) in number, with Su Li's intelligence warning, Friedrich led a team of knights and more than thirty armed attendants and easily beheaded them all. Ten hunters happily peeled them all, leaving thousands of a unit of weight, approximately 500 grams or 1.1 pounds of wolf meat.
