After Chris got up, he had breakfast in the restaurant and prepared to go to the Tauren City again.
"Sir, Brown would like to see you."
"Tell him to wait for me in the living room." Chris wiped away the food residue on his hands and the corners of his mouth with a tissue, and drank a glass of water slowly.
Ten minutes later, he went downstairs and saw the high-spirited steward.
"Good morning, Lord Baron." Brown saluted.
"Morning~" Chris asked straight to the point, "You came to see me early in the morning. What's the matter?"
"My lord, the city wall you ordered to be built around the entire territory was completed perfectly last night. Fortunately, it lived up to its mission!" Brown's eyes were blazing.
It only takes a few months to build a city wall. It would be absolutely impossible to put it outside.
After all, the most time-consuming and labor-intensive part of building a city is mining stones from the mountains and polishing them into regular shapes.
But with the brick kiln in the territory, high-quality and square green bricks can be continuously produced, and the time is greatly shortened.
"Thank you for your hard work!" Chris grabbed a handful of gold coins, "Each of you can get a reward of two silver coins."
After selling all the dragon meat, plus the harvest from the pioneering order, he had more money than he could spend, and it was piled in the space ring. He might as well use it to reward his subordinates, so as to generate reputation points for them.
"Thank you, sir!" Brown bowed and saluted.
Reputation from Brown 2
After the money is distributed, the three thousand citizens will be able to provide an estimated 6,000 reputation points.
"Sir, there are still four gates left to build. Should we quarry the boulders, or make molds using blue bricks?"
This is a very important matter, so at most it requires the lord to do it.
Chris didn't hesitate at all and said directly: "Make a mold!"
After this pioneering war, he realized the strategic significance of a solid city gate, which could directly determine the pattern of the entire battlefield.
"yes!"
"Okay, please retreat first, and tell Hank by the way that he will prepare to go mining in the new territory in the north in a few days."
"Okay, sir."
After Brown left, Chris walked outside the castle and waved to Lagen.
Ragen turned his head and glanced at the hungry eyes of the young mares, then ran over without any hesitation.
Chris got on the horse, patted its head and said, "Let's go!"
They passed through most of the town and came to Thorn Ridge.
The endless thorny jungle stretched as far as the eye could see, making Chris very uncomfortable.
"This forest will hinder the development of the territory and should not exist."
Chris hesitated and decided to burn it.
He took out Dragon Roar and used fire magic to ignite the outermost tree, and from time to time there was a "crackling" sound of branches exploding in the air.
But Chris didn't stop. He rode around the edge of the forest and continued to light the fire.
It took him more than two hours to circle around the forest.
In this way, the flames burn inward, and all the poisonous insects will be suffocated inside, with no possibility of escape.
After all, the poison of the Black Crystal Scorpion cannot even be contained by oneself. If one is released, it will definitely cause endless troubles.
The entire forest was burned into a continuous fire, with thick smoke billowing into the sky, and the flames could be clearly seen even from dozens of kilometers away.
"This is my territory, there will be no more thorny jungles." Chris turned around and left, heading for the Tauren City.
······
An hour later, Chris came to the city gate.
This time he did not receive a rejection, and the guarding tauren naturally opened the city gate and let him in.
"Thanks." Chris threw four saffron flowers to the person who opened the door. After the guy took them hurriedly, his eyes were as wide as bells, and he carefully put the flowers into his arms.
Arriving at the patriarch's house in a familiar way, Chris jumped off Lagen's back.
"Chris, why are you here again?" Lauder was slightly surprised, but soon he figured out what was going on, "Did you fail to plant all the hundreds of seeds? I told you this a long time ago
, that thing is very delicate and difficult to cultivate, but your speed is too fast."
Chris waved his hand, and pink saffron spread all over the ground, with thousands of them in total.
Lauder's eyes almost popped out of his head, and all the tauren passing by were unable to walk. If they weren't still somewhat sensible, they might have been tempted to come and grab them.
"How is this possible? I just gave you the seeds yesterday and you cultivated them today?" Lauder felt that all his previous concepts had collapsed.
Normally, it takes at least four months from planting the seeds to sprouting and blooming, and if you are not careful during the process, the flower stems will wither and all the efforts will be wasted.
Chris said calmly: "I said, I have a way to grow saffron."
"But you're going too fast." Lauder was completely stunned.
Chris put away all the saffron to stop the minotaurs from trying.
"Let's talk about remuneration. How many flowers does each of your clan consume every day?"
Lauder said: "It's hard to say. If you are huddled in the city and try to avoid seeing red objects, about three flowers will be enough. But if you want to go out, you may need twenty or even more."
"Well, if you work for me, each person in your tribe can get twenty-five saffron flowers a day, plus ten kilograms of grain. What do you think?"
The tauren don't have much demand for food, but they have to give them some. After all, if they work for themselves, they won't have time to farm.
After thinking for a while, Lauder said: "Thirty flowers. If there are less than this number, there will be certain risks."
"No need to talk!" Chris refused directly. He had to consider Linda.
The entire tauren tribe has more than a thousand people, and they need 25,000 saffron flowers every day.
If the price is increased, I'm afraid the little girl won't be able to bear it.
"Okay, I promise you!" Lauder breathed a sigh of relief.
No one wants to be a coward in this tiny city. Even if he goes out to work, it is much better than staying here honestly.
I believe that the vast majority of the tribe will fully support this decision.
"Then we'll have a great time cooperating!" Chris stretched out his hand.
Lauder asked in confusion: "What are you doing?"
"Oh, this is a handshake ceremony in our hometown."
Lauder also extended his generous palm to shake hands with Chris: "Happy cooperation!"
"Go and talk to the tribesmen and let them prepare. Then the tribes may be divided into several groups and work in different places." Chris said.
"good."
Chris got on his horse and planned to leave.
"Wait a minute!" Lauder called him to stop, "Bring Princess Niu Niu with you, let her get familiar with human life first, and if she has anything to say, she can come and tell us."
