The bracts can only be harvested in the second year, which means that in the next year, the two marquis can only rest on their laurels.
In order to develop their territory, the two of them really started the business of selling people, moving large numbers of refugees to the Merlox Province. In just six months, they added nearly one million people to the Merlox Province.
Sauron and Kulayin also rely on the commissions earned by these people to buy food from Aslan for their territory.
As a result, after half a year of hard work, the model of the town has just been built, and it is still far away from the giant city. The population has only grown to a few hundred thousand. Every once in a while, some residents secretly flee to the Mero area, almost killing two people.
A person vomits blood due to anger.
In the past six months, they have spent thousands of gold coins every day, and the money brought by the family has almost been used up.
They all felt that they had been cheated by their family.
Changfeng Plain is a ghost place with almost nothing, except loess and weeds, not even any minerals, and there are nearly a million aliens around it who are eyeing it.
They did not enjoy the good life of the great lord, but they did not have less days of fear.
Kulayindu has asked Aslan several times to send patrols to support him.
Aslan was also very generous in sending patrol troops to include the two territories within the patrol scope.
It's just that when the patrol troops of the Merlot Army were driven away, those alien thieves came in behind. These aliens may cause the Merlot Army to attack them. They never attack and kill people on a large scale. The most they do is to rob and steal. Let the people in the territory
The people are miserable, even if they organize armed patrol militias, these alien thieves are too stupid.
Whenever the territorial patrol troops were about to arrive, they would run away without a trace. Finally, the two lords sent their mentor-level warriors to surround and kill them. As a result, when they were about to catch up with those hateful thieves, the alien mentor-level warriors
The killer appeared and scared the two instructors away.
They wanted to ask for help, but the Kingdom of Cleveland had completely broken up with the Ten-Party Alliance. Fighting started on almost all fronts. Mentor-level experts were sent to fight on the front lines, and there was no way they could spare any manpower to support them.
"Alas, the situation has changed too quickly, and our place has become the last pure land of the kingdom." Sauron put down the letter in his hand and said with a look of helplessness.
Kulayin was also crying because one of his cousins had died on the front line, and the number of soldiers killed in battle every day had exceeded a thousand.
I'm scared to think about it now. If they hadn't come here to be lords, they would have been on the battlefield by now.
"No matter what, our first priority now is to develop the territory and speed up the migration of refugees, so as to prevent the refugees from getting wind of the situation and flooding into the Merox Province." Sauron said with a solemn expression.
He is not worried about the huge impact that too many refugees will have, but he is worried that too many refugees will affect their "business".
In the underground factory of Merlo City, this place was originally a counterfeit banknote printing factory. Now it has expanded dozens of times and has become a veritable underground factory. It covers an area of more than a hundred acres. The counterfeit banknote printing factory only occupies a corner and has now completely stopped working.

Aslan was watching the coin production line move slowly.
Copper coins fell off the production line one after another.
Winner grabbed a handful of copper coins and sent them to Aslan.
Aslan took it in his hand and looked at it carefully.
Copper coins are not entirely made of copper, but have steel cores plated with copper. The steel smelting technology in the Xinuo Continent is very backward, so most weapons are still made of wrought iron.
Therefore, the price of steel is not low. In addition, the copper-plated layer on the outside looks very delicate. The copper-plated material with nickel added inside can make it brighter, cleaner and less likely to rust.
In fact, this coin material is the latest version of the coin material from the previous life of China.
This kind of material is more durable than the pure silver and pure copper of the Sino continent today, and will not turn yellow or black over time.
Aslan named it Merlot.
The pattern of the coin is very fine, the coin quality is uniform, smooth and shiny. The pattern on the front is the delicate profile of Duke Medea, and the reverse is a pattern of wheat ears intersecting with scales. The edges of the round frame have even and smooth texture. The copper coin has a very fine pattern.
Hold it in your hand, it feels silky and smooth.
"This can't be called money at all, this is art." Wenner marveled.
After Aslan took it in his hand and weighed it, he wrapped a roll in paper and prepared to be sent to Billy City.
As long as he saw these new copper coins, Duke Medea understood Aslan's next plan to establish their own currency system and prepare for future banks in advance.
Aslan gave the roll of copper coins to Bos and asked him to hurry up and deliver it to the Duke of Medea.
As soon as I came out of the coin workshop, I was blocked by Nigel and Merlin.
"Lord! Your prediction is absolutely correct. That thing can really condense the elements of thunder and lightning." When Merlin saw Aslan, he was excited and incoherent.
Aslan was originally unhappy, but after hearing this, he couldn't help but look happy.
Two steps turned into one, and the two of them almost flew back to the machine shop. Aslan now wears flying combat boots at all times.
In the machine shop, a simple magic engine is running. The speed is not very fast, but the speed produced by using the big runner to drive the small runner is not slow.
Something similar to a motor is installed on the platform, and the motor rotates rapidly driven by the wheel.
Driven by it, thunder and lightning elements are continuously produced, and then under the guidance of the magic array, a steady stream of lightning elements are flowing into the magic charging crystal, which is a magic prop that imitates the magic tower magic pool.
Equivalent to recharging a battery.
In about tens of minutes, the magic power in the two magic charging crystals has been fully charged.
"You really have to do it." Aslan was full of surprise.
The generator has been produced, and then he can continuously obtain lightning elements, allowing Mero City to skip the industrial age and enter the electric age.
"You two are simply geniuses!" Aslan praised without hesitation.
Winner, who was following next to him, looked at the generator and the two magicians who were too tired to speak with a suspicious look on his face. It was obvious that his magic power was overdrawn.
"What's the point of consuming the magic power of two magicians and only charging the magic power crystal of one magician?" Winner said bluntly.
Aslan burst out laughing.
"It is indeed meaningless, but what if we could activate the generator without consuming manpower and magic power?"
As soon as these words came out, Winner's expression suddenly changed. Aslan woke up the dreamer with his words, and looked at Nicol and Merlin with admiration.
Unfortunately, not only Winner, but also Nicol and Merlin could never guess where he would install the generator.
