It is not an easy task to settle the daily life of a thousand people. Duran chose a leader among the thousand people who immigrated from the private plane No. 6, and worked for a long time before settling these people around the castle.
After the miniature castle was formed, it occupied a very large area, but it had nothing except the necessary buildings. Fortunately, No. 6 sent enough food to allow Duran to overcome the initial difficulties. Among the three nest races
There was peace among them, but this did not mean that conflicts could not break out between them and ordinary humans. Duran thought about it and settled the one thousand new human residents in the southeast of the castle, while the dwarfs, jungle fairies
And the Underworld people live in the outer city area in the northwest. As for the four silver mercenaries, Duran asked them to temporarily take charge of the defense of the castle. Although the plane was newly born, there are currently no monsters or anything like that.
It threatens the survival of the residents here. But before long, under the invasion of the power of chaos, the nascent plane will also produce beasts, birds and more terrifying monsters.
Dawn Castle is such a large area, but there are only four mercenaries as a temporary escort. It is conceivable that it will not be enough in the future. However, Duran did a little research and found that although the thousand men given to him by No. 6
They are all healthy young people, but they have no talent for witchcraft or martial arts. They can only engage in agriculture, handicrafts, light industry and commerce, which require low physical fitness. These people do not have any ability to protect themselves.
From this point, we can also see the scarcity of combat professionals. For ordinary people, No. 6 can be generous and directly give away a thousand; but No. 6 has not given out any warriors with combat capabilities, even gray iron level warriors.
One, which shows its preciousness.
Duran had no choice but to let the Hades join the ranks of the castle guards. Fortunately, although the Hades looked a little different from ordinary humans, they were still a branch of humanity and could also use common language. Although
Letting them serve as members of the castle guard will not cause too much panic among the residents in the city.
At present, Duran appointed the leader of the Hades, Ibrahimovic, as the captain of the Dawn Castle Guards, and the silver mercenary Oona as the deputy captain. This woman's combat ability should be the highest in the silver realm, because she is a specializing in plasticity.
The silver wizard in the domain. The rest of the Hades have also joined the guard team. Their mission is to patrol and protect the safety around the castle. Occasionally, when you have free time, it doesn't hurt to go hunting in the east forest.
After the immigration was completed, the silver portal was also closed. Duran noticed that although most people had a flash of sadness on their faces when they saw the portal closed, they soon became enthusiastic about building a new home.
. Under the leadership of leader Havin and his wife, they quickly settled down. When crossing the plane, they not only carried food, but also carried the unique crops of the sixth private plane - super
The precious seeds of wheat.
"Sir, the land in your Dawn Plane is very fertile and is very suitable for growing this kind of super wheat." After Havin settled most of the people, he found Duran with the seeds of super wheat. They became Duran's leader.
Citizens, this means that they must obey Duran's orders. Dawn Castle and even the Dawn Plane are Duran's private property, and no matter what they do, they must ask Duran for instructions.
Before that, Havin had already led his tribe to store most of the grain in the granary of Dawn Castle, and returned the key to the granary to Duran as a sign of loyalty.
"The planting cycle of super wheat is similar to that of ordinary wheat, but the yield is about three times that of ordinary wheat. Most of the humans who migrated this time make a living from farming like me, and a few are craftsmen. Lord Lord
.Your plane is in dire need, and growing food is the top priority. I would like to ask your permission to lease a certain amount of land around the castle to us as farmland for planting."
Havin respectfully handed the plant in his hand to Duran.
Duran took it and looked at it, and found that the super wheat seeds in Havin's mouth were engraved with faint silver runes, and he could feel a touch of magic from it.
"What rune is this?" Duran asked.
Haven shook his head blankly.
Dulan knew that his question was in vain. The thousand people in front of him, including the leader Ha Wen, were all farmers with little experience. How could they explain such magical things like runes clearly?
So he asked again: "So, how many seeds of this super wheat do you have? Can these seeds be obtained from mature super wheat plants?"
Havin shook his head and said: "The seeds of super wheat are magical crops developed by the Applied Magic Department of Master No. 6 and No. 7 Magic Tower. They themselves cannot be obtained from mature bodies. After super wheat grows, it can only produce ordinary
Wheat seeds, not this kind of seeds. We all bought them from the market in Magic Tower No. 7. To be honest, many families went bankrupt in order to buy these seeds. But in this plane, before
The currency is of no use anymore, so it’s worth exchanging it for these seeds.”
"I have estimated that every household has purchased more or less super wheat seeds. If each household has 200 super wheat seeds, there are at least 100,000 super wheat seeds, which can be used for a long, long time.
"Haven explained.
Duran nodded, and he contacted the Dawn Messenger and asked her to use the ability of the Tower of Dawn to draw a rough map of the surroundings of the castle.
He looked at the map for a while, and then officially designated a small area north of the river in the south as an agricultural planting area. According to the information fed back by the Dawn Messenger, that land was fertile and very suitable for growing wheat.
Of course, as a lord, Duran would not be so kind as to let these people plant crops on their own land. He used the knowledge of his previous life to formulate some simple tax laws and promulgated them as the initial tax basis for Dawn Castle. This tax law
It's very simple. There are only eighteen items. It was basically created by Dulan with a slap on the forehead. In his previous life, he was also familiar with taxation. In the current situation where everything is in dire need, the heavy tax burden is
Totally unnecessary.
This tax law is mainly aimed at agriculture. After all, there are very few craftsmen in Dawn Castle except the dwarves in Hewen Crypt. Everything has just begun. The tax rate established by Duran is not high, almost 11%.
The ratio is much lower than the 61 tax prevailing in the private plane of No. 6; but it is very strict in terms of tax evasion, and at least half of the eighteen articles are about this aspect.
"If we don't kill this evil spirit at the beginning, how can we pay it back in the future?" Dulan's idea is also very simple. He is not a big philanthropist. He spent a scroll of inestimable value to get the Dawn Plane.
Yes, this is his private property and cannot be wasted at will. It must be managed well and at least the cost must be recovered.
After doing all this, Haven and his wife left with tears in their eyes. Although the conditions in the Dawn Plane were lagging behind, the lord seemed to be more talkative, especially in terms of agricultural planting. Duran spent a lot of money on the originally low rent.
The policy of halving land rent in the first year was implemented to encourage people to plant. This greatly stimulated the enthusiasm of these newly arrived humans.
As for the specific land leasing plan, Havin will discuss it with others and then ask Dulan for approval in a few days.
…
After taking care of Haven and most of the human residents in the castle, Duran walked out of the empty lord's mansion a little tired. After the miniature castle was restored, it was divided into an inner city and an outer city. The first batch of people in the castle were all occupied by Duran.
Divided into freemen, they can enjoy the rights to live outside the castle and lease land for planting. Above the freemen are citizens, and above them are nobles, and their rights are also expanded step by step. Of course, this is just the basic structure.
, there is only one noble in Dawn Castle, Dulan, who can be considered to have great power.
The outer city is mainly provided for free people and citizens to live in, while the inner city is the residence of nobles. As for Duran himself, there is an independent castle in the inner city, and there is a lord's mansion used for office work in the outer city. He walked out of the mansion
.Come to the northwest city and find the dwarves in Hewen's Crypt. These dwarves are shorter than all the dwarves in the history of Feinan Continent, but they are not inferior to the Blue Mountain dwarves in terms of finding mineral veins and forging weapons.
Greystone dwarves and their ilk.
The leader of the dwarves is called Copper Furnace, and his beard is a rare golden color. Duran assigned them a craftsman's workshop, which only had a small amount of coal, no iron, and no other ores. Everything had to start from scratch.
Fortunately, the talent of the dwarves in making artifacts is undoubted, and their ability to find mines and ores is even more innate. While Duran was dealing with other things, the irresistible copper furnace came to him.
Half of the men spent half a day running around the Castle of Dawn, and soon discovered an open-pit coal mine behind a small hill in the west. What was even more coincidental was that not far from the coal mine,
They found traces of iron ore.
According to Copper Furnace's speculation, it is very likely that there is a good ore vein down there.
"...So, I would like to ask for your permission to move the Hewen Crypt near the coal mine. We can build a camp there." Tongluo said.
Duran asked in surprise: "The nest can also be moved?"
Tongluo raised his head proudly, although he could only reach Dulan's waist when he did so: "Of course it cannot be an ordinary lair. But your lair, Lord, is derived from alchemy and is made of runes."
Power, of course, can move.”
Dulan thought about it and agreed to the copper stove's request.
Following the instructions of the copper furnace, he transformed the Hewen Crypt back into the rune, but it looked a little dimmer. Then he followed the dwarves to the open-pit coal mine ten miles to the west and put down the rune.
.
A brand new Hewen Crypt has been installed.
Duran also asked a male silver mercenary to be stationed here to protect the mining safety of the dwarves. After all, the only difference between these little guys and the dwarves on Feinan Continent is that they have almost no fighting ability at all.
…
After putting everything in place, Dulan let out a long breath. The current height of the Dawn Plane is the same as that of the Green Sea Wonderland, which means that the speed of time here has changed. It was previously ten times the same as that of Feinan Continent.
The one-to-one time flow rate will be gone forever and should be shortened to about three to one.
That is, one day in Feinan Continent is equivalent to three days here.
He quickly opened the evil contract, chose to open the portal, and slipped in quickly.
Familiar scenery appeared in front of him again, and from time to time, terrifying roars could be heard in the open wilderness, or the cries of people struggling.
Duran calmed down, used the equality contract signed by the Great Elf King to contact Ned, and found that this guy was actually near him!
Dulan frowned. He walked forward for about a few hundred meters, and the little fat man suddenly appeared in front of him. As he appeared, he hid the invisibility cloak.
"Ned? Why are you here?" Duran was a little surprised.
"Of course I'm here!" The little fat man actually showed a confused look.
Du Lan was even more confused: "Didn't I ask you to follow those two women?"
The little fat man pointed to the east and said, "I am indeed following them!"
Dulan was stunned for a moment and looked to the east, only to see two figures riding horses approaching the place quickly.
Not long after, Zina and Jane had already rode in front of Duran. Zina even waved her riding whip and roared at Duran:
