Chapter 181 Serf shortage, Lucans new mission(1/2)
After successfully clearing the ogre camp, Odin issued a reward as promised. Each member of the knights, regardless of their level of strength, would be rewarded with five gold coins.
Including Liz, even if it's Dag, it won't be useful if you give it to it.
Also, to celebrate the victory of this battle, Odin invited most of the top managers of Boulder Town to attend a bonfire dinner hosted by Boulder Castle.
It was the first time for the lord to hold such an event, and everyone at the banquet was very happy.
Logically speaking, these people are all riding on the big ship of Lord Odin.
Odin is the captain, and they are the sailors. The captain is important, but without the sailors, the entire ship cannot be controlled.
This is exactly what the so-called community of interests is.
However, what is different from other interest communities is that everyone on Odin's ship is a firm believer in him and absolutely loyal to him.
There is no reason for betrayal.
Above the bonfire, the lord, filled with the majesty of a superior, raised the wine glass in his hand, and the eyes of everyone on the grass naturally focused on him.
"To a better tomorrow for Boulder Town! Cheers!"
"To a better tomorrow for Boulder Town! Cheers~"
The cheers of the crowd resounded in the castle, and everyone raised their glasses and cheered loudly. Only little Ryan and Dag, who did not have any wine, only focused on eating barbecue.
next day
Lord Odin woke up from his sleep.
Although I was hungover, I was in the same spirit as usual.
"Sir, you were drunk last night, why don't you meditate first today?"
Liz, who woke up together, asked softly.
"Well, of course you have to meditate. Only by persevering every day can your strength improve."
"What you said is so good!"
Odin touched Liz's head and didn't get up. He sat cross-legged on the bed and then summoned star power.
It is said that his current star power level has exceeded the two thousand mark, reaching 2050 points, and the spiritual power anchored by the unlocked land is 192 points, which means that Odin's mental power is now like this.
Star Power:1858(2050)
Not long after Odin adjusted his breathing, two bright star pillars fell one after another and overlapped.
The brilliant light of the falling stars even covered up the sunlight coming in from the window.
Since establishing a good connection with Qiming Erxing, the effect of Odin's daily meditation has been greatly enhanced. As the connection became more stable, the effect of meditation doubled.
Compared with Qiming One Star, the star power provided by Qiming 2 Star is not bad at all.
The time in meditation passed quickly, and it was still the same. Liz meditated for two hours.
Odin meditated for three hours before he stopped. The remaining star power had not yet been completely transformed into Odin's spiritual power, stirring back and forth in his body.
In other words, based on his current level of mental strength, he has just reached the level of an intermediate magician.
You must know that he has only meditated for a year, and this rate of progress is already very fast.
Under his leadership, Liz's mental strength level is in the middle of the low-level magicians, and it will take some time to accumulate before she can advance.
After meditating, Odin performed fighting spirit training, fighting skill proficiency training, and bow and arrow proficiency training in sequence.
on the shooting range
The ice crystal arrows collided with the stone wall, and the sound of the stone wall breaking was heard one after another.
After long-term practice, Odin felt that the red iron bow could no longer keep up with his physical strength, and he needed a bow with stronger bow power.
So he came to the knight camp and looked for the Sisi Elf to answer his questions.
"In terms of pure pulling power, metal bows are still the first choice. The only thing stronger than red iron bows is black iron bows. The bow can reach five tons of pulling power in full bow state. Among metal bows, this level is already the limit."
The Sisi Elf answered patiently.
"Black Iron Bow, thank you Sisi!"
"Nothing, Lord, this is what I should do."
Sisi looked disapproving.
"Oh, by the way, sir! Because there are too few powerful archers, and only one in ten thousand can reach high-level archers, no one uses weapons like the black iron bow. Correspondingly, this kind of weapon is naturally not sold on the market.
arms.
You can only pay a senior blacksmith from the dwarf tribe to make it custom-made."
"Is it so troublesome? Fortunately, I'm not in a hurry. Then you can continue. I'll leave first."
Odin casually patted Sisi on the shoulder and left the knight camp.
Since it was so troublesome to get a black iron bow, he didn't need to be in a hurry. He went to the Stone Guild to place a quest to buy a black iron bow, and then he could just look for it slowly.
The next top priority for Jushi Town is to keep up with the development of forest land.
Otherwise, after a period of time, the cleared forest land will be occupied by the migrating monsters.
Not to mention that Warcraft is not good, Warcraft is also a resource, but the town currently has sufficient Warcraft resources. The current plan is to extend the pace of development to Gravel Ridge to obtain richer forest resources.
Instead of going around in circles.
Odin knew this very well and walked towards the New City Hall after leaving the Knight Camp.
After the system reform, the old city hall in the business district was demolished, and a new large-scale city hall was built next to the Public Security Bureau on the edge of the central square of the residential area, and it was built with stone materials.
After arriving at the city hall, you will find the administrative officer working on the third floor.
"Ruvid!"
"Oh! Sir, why did you come here in person? This makes me so rude. Sir, please take a seat."
Ruvid quickly stood up and gave up his position, but he stood aside.
"Haha, don't be nervous, I'm here to discuss the town's next development path with you."
"My lord, please do as you wish! In Boulder Town, your will will be unimpeded."
"Ruvid, I think the speed of converting forest land into cultivated land is still too slow. Is there any way to increase this speed?"
After Ruvid thought for a while, he replied.
"Sir, the speed of forest land development is limited by the planting population. The greater the planting population, the faster the forest land development speed.
As for the planting population in our Jushi Town, all serfs are responsible for it, and the original civilians have gone to raise poultry."
With that said, Ruvid took out a scroll from a file cabinet and started reading more detailed information.
"After the start of this year, 300 rams of cultivated land will be developed in the Xiahetun forest land, and 200 rams of cultivated land will be developed in the Shuichetun forest land, for a total of 500 rams. Adding in the old cultivated land from last year, the total cultivated land in the town is 680 rams.
There are only 1,700 serfs responsible for farming. This ratio is already lower than the normal labor ratio of 1:3 (three serfs planting one ram of land). However, thanks to the farmland irrigation system, the workload of the serfs has been reduced, so this
The ratio is still within the normal range.”
Hearing this, Odin not only frowned.
"No, at the end of last year I brought back 500 slaves from Fengsang tie, and then my father gave me another 500 slaves, which makes it a thousand.
Including what was purchased before and what was purchased by the caravan this year, it’s still more than seven hundred, right?”
"Haha, if you calculate it this way, it is indeed more than that, but don't forget, adults, Jason is going to have hundreds of slaves in the construction team.
Now these 1,700 serfs are all serfs who have already secured farmland, and there are only a few hundred serfs used to develop new farmland, so the development of forest land cannot be accelerated."
After Ruvid's explanation, Odin finally understood the reason.
Furthermore, once forest land is converted into new cultivated land, it cannot be left alone. Someone must plant it. As more cultivated land is reclaimed, more serfs will be invested in it.
Even if the giant stone caravan brought back more than a hundred serfs every half month, it would only be enough to barely ensure that more than a hundred people would cultivate forest land.
It's impossible to speed up.
"Sir, the solution to the problem is very simple, which is to purchase a large number of serfs at once. In this way, the speed of land reclamation will naturally be accelerated."
Ruvid said.
"But where can we get so many serfs at once? The giant stone caravan traveled to three counts and took half a month to bring back more than a hundred serfs.
It is simply impossible to get more than 500 people at one time."
Odin shook his head. This is not a question of money, but a question of availability.
"Sir, I heard from those in the caravan that there are many serfs who are homeless and have no land to farm in the border area of the principality. How about we go over there and think of a solution?"
Ruvid's suggestion made Odin's mind become active again.
The border issue has not been resolved to this day. The serfs and civilians who originally farmed are trapped in limited cities. Although they can receive black bread every day, this situation is definitely not as practical as farming by themselves.
Besides, what if one day we run out of brown bread?
In this case, many serfs and civilians ran away, and no one took care of them.
"In this case, let Lucen make another trip. He has been there last time and has experience. I don't know how his recent practice is. Let's go and see together."
