My Empire War Game

Sulun's lord castle is being built in a hurry. According to the design, his lord castle is very spectacular and majestic, but considering the reality, only part of it can be built first, and the other places are temporarily reserved until he has enough time and money. Then, continue to build.

It's not that he doesn't want to capture more slaves to work for him, the key issue is the food issue. Without enough food, it is simply impossible to feed a larger population. The first batch of 500 acres of farmland has been planted with potatoes, and these potatoes will mature before winter as soon as possible. Now Suren is planning to further expand the planting of potatoes.

The first cultivated land was very fertile, and even without fertilizers, the yields here would not be low. In addition to leaving some of these lands, the rest are ready to be distributed through military rewards, external sales, or distribution to meritorious slaves.

As long as these lands are planted with crops, the territory will receive agricultural taxes, and the sale of the land can also get a fund, so that his territory will have a stable source of income. Of course, this is the best situation. The territory is completely a place where birds don't shit, and no free people are willing to come.

So this method ends before it starts. If you want to increase the population of the territory by attracting free people, it is better to buy slaves.

Suren's territory is like an upside-down bowl. The camp is at the top of the bowl, surrounded by two rivers at the edge of the bowl, and surrounded by plains. Suren also measured it when he was patrolling the territory during this period. Land that can be cultivated in a territory.

Then, after marking it on the strategic map, do some calculations. The land that can be reclaimed exceeds 200 square kilometers. If all these lands are reclaimed, at least 300,000 mu of arable land can be reclaimed, so much farmland can support 30,000 to 50,000 people. is more than enough.

Of course, even if the territory develops, the monsters in the wilderness still need to be eliminated.

Two days later, Johnson returned with dozens of barbarian women and children. With these dozens of barbarian women and children joining the territory, the manpower in the territory was finally less nervous.

These barbarian women and children were very curious about the territory, but they quickly invested in the construction, because according to the reward standards set by Su Lun, these barbarian warriors could get fields for their merits, and they could get rid of slave status and become citizens of the territory. After knowing that they could get rid of their slave status and become free people, these savages burst out with strong passion, and they threw themselves into the construction of their territories one by one.

To Su Lun's surprise, in addition to the barbarians, there was also a caravan among the people who came back with Johnson. This caravan has forty four-wheeled carriages, and the entire caravan has more than 150 people.

"Respected lord, I am Owen, the steward of the Bauhinia Chamber of Commerce. It is a pleasure to meet you here."

"My caravan needs to pass through your territory, and we will pay the tax at the normal level."

"Irving, your caravan is going to go to the depths of the wilderness?" Su Lun was very interested in Owen. The caravans who dared to enter the wilderness are not weak. Given the danger of the wilderness, there is a high chance that the caravans with insufficient strength will die here. This caravan dared to come to the wilderness to trade, it seems that the strength is absolutely powerful.

At the same time, this also shows that they will definitely have huge profits this trip. If there are not high enough profits, how can these unprofitable caravans take huge risks to come here.

Mr. Lu Xun said it well, if there is a 10% profit, the capital will be guaranteed to be used everywhere; if there is a 20% profit, the capital will become active; if there is a 50% profit, the capital will take risks; for 100% profit, Capital dares to trample all human laws; with a profit of more than 300%, capital dares to commit any crime, and even risk hanging its head.

Su Lun is almost insanely poor now, how could he miss any chance to make a fortune.

Owen was also surprised in his heart, surprised that the nobleman in front of him actually established a pioneering stronghold here. As a caravan that often walks in the wilderness, they are very clear about how difficult it is to build a camp here. Those jackals in the wilderness Human tribes are not so easy to deal with.

Thousands of gnolls are combined with more goblin kobolds and trolls. With such a lineup, even a thousand well-trained elite human soldiers will not necessarily win, and more often they will lose both. Moreover, a five-meter-high city wall has already been built in this territory. How much manpower and material resources will it take to build such a stone wall.

You must know that it is more than 200 kilometers away from the nearest Black Rock City. To maintain a thousand human troops, it is necessary to build such a city wall. The cost of it can make most of the nobles go bankrupt.

The young human noble in front of him dared to build a city in this place. What is even more surprising is that he found a large number of goblin kobolds and gnoll slaves in this territory. This means they have a firm foothold here.

"Yes, Your Excellency, our caravan is preparing to enter the depths of the wasteland and trade with some other races."

"Gnoll?"

"No, the gnolls prefer direct robbery. We are dealing with the Elende tribe in the north. They are a group of centaurs."

"Centaur?" Su Lun said in surprise.

"right."

Next, Su Lun wanted to continue to prepare for inquiries, but Owen had no intention of speaking about the content of the transaction. But even though Owen didn't say it, Suren probably knew the materials of their transaction.

Nothing more than bows and horses, as well as some wasteland specialties, fur or magic materials. Centaurs are good at raising horses, and their tribe is also famous for their longbows. The caravan used to trade food and other necessities of life. At least ten times the profit over and over again.

"Okay, I agree to let your caravan rest here, but according to the rules you need to pay 10% tax." Su Lun agreed quickly.

"Of course you can pay for kinnar or food."

"Thank you for your kind lord, we will prepare the tax soon." Hearing Su Lun's words, Owen nodded. Ten percent of the tax is within the normal range. In fact, Owen also considered not to pay the tax, but after seeing the size of the territory, he gave up the idea. Don't be surprised. Few of the merchants who trade in the wilderness are good people. They even make cameo appearances as robbers, and even Raid some territories.

Although Su Lun's territory looks very simple, the power it represents is not something that ordinary people can do. Without the guarantee of strong force, it is simply impossible for them to defeat the monster army. Not to mention capturing so many wild natives as slaves.
