This issue is a difficulty for the future development of the territory.
As the territory expanded, this problem gradually came to light.
The area where each lord comes is a square area of 200 kilometers x 200 kilometers.
Assume that each area is compared to a square piece of white paper.
Then the lord's territory is like circles on a white paper.
The higher the territory level, the larger the circle.
When the range of a circle is larger than the average distribution density of lords.
It will inevitably come into contact with circles representing other territories, or even annex them.
The most difficult thing is that these lords are also members of the [Legion] available for recruitment.
Only lords with rapid development progress, relatively strong and aggressive lords can quickly expand their territory.
Compared to brutally and brutally razing the lords' territories within the area, for Zong Shen, peaceful development is more in line with the future interests of the territory.
Of course, it is not ruled out that there are lords in other regions who have chosen the unicorn mode. Regarding this point, we can only say that it is a matter of opinion and wisdom.
Zong Shen thought silently, and this trip gave him a lot of inspiration.
With this kind of focused thinking, time flies by quickly.
More than an hour later, they could already see Bospan in the distance.
This is a semi-open city, so large that the edges of the city cannot be seen at a glance in the dark.
The area of Bangcheng alone is no less than that of a county-level city on earth.
Surrounding it are large areas of orchards, farmland, and pastures.
They are all laid out in a square shape, like patches sewn together outside the city.
The main part of the city is even more vast, and there are quite a few buildings on the side that Zong Shen and the others can see.
These buildings vary in height and look crowded.
The closer you get to the central area of Bangcheng, the neater the buildings are and they look relatively taller and smoother.
Even at night, the city is always brightly lit.
The difference in regional prosperity within the city can be seen from the distribution of lights.
The closer you get to the inner city circle of Bangcheng, the brighter the lights and the more prosperous it looks.
You can't see the center of Bangcheng from here, so you have to keep going.
Coming to Bangcheng for the first time, Zong Shen, who was used to seeing his own territory and villages, felt strange.
Vereesa and the others looked very calm.
Not to mention state cities, they have seen many giant cities.
But after experiencing the intense seven-day crypt challenge.
Leaving the territory and coming to Bangcheng made them feel a lot more relaxed.
As the saying goes, change the environment and change the mood!
As a semi-open city, and it was not during war, there were no guards outside the city.
They passed through orchards and farmland.
It is only two or three kilometers away from the street entering the city.
In order not to cause misunderstanding, Zong Shen decisively chose to slow down.
At the same time, he was also curiously observing the orchards and farmland on both sides.
Every few meters along the roadside, a small brazier was erected.
There were many farmers lying on the roadside with straw mats. They were all tenant farmers working nearby.
The nobles and wealthy businessmen in the city occupied a large amount of surrounding land.
Some farmers will choose to rent the land and need to pay a dinar every year based on the size of the land they rent.
The crops produced must also be sold to landowners first.
If you think about it carefully, it means earning hard money, which is at least better than being a maid.
For nobles and wealthy merchants, they save labor expenses and can allow these tenant farmers to create value on their land as long as they appropriately share a portion of the profits.
The purchased agricultural products, after deducting the rent paid by the tenant farmers, are much lower than the normal price in the market.
They can also perform secondary processing and let their caravans sell to the villages under the jurisdiction of Bangcheng.
This is considered a kind of indirect labor exploitation, but it is relatively mild.
The types of fruits grown in the area around here are relatively simple.
The most common one is apple.
The apples here are generally a whole circle bigger than those on Earth.
It looks like a small rubber ball.
Just like this, Bajie can eat thirty or forty apples in one meal.
A basket of apples can only hold so many apples.
In Zong Shen's territory, an apple is usually divided into four parts and matched.
As for the farmland here, it was so dark at night that Zong Shen couldn't see what was being planted.
However, the types of crops grown by humans in this world are roughly the same as those on Earth.
The yield is about one-third lower than on earth.
After all, there are differences between traditional farming and modern farming.
However, this is not the top farmland in the world. There is magic in this world. Some giant cities will have dedicated agricultural areas directly under their jurisdiction, where natural magic arrays are arranged.
Fertilizers are also applied regularly and carefully taken care of by dedicated personnel.
The output between the two is naturally different.
After Zong Shen and others passed by.
Some farmers who were keeping vigil along the way looked at them with curious eyes.
This was the first time these farmers had seen that someone could tame such a big wild boar into a mount.
There is also the woman riding the black panther, although her face is covered by a veil.
But as the black panther moves, the buttocks on the saddle are also trembling slightly.
These farmers couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
That posture, that figure!
Even if they think about it with their buttocks, they can tell that this person is definitely a top performer!
Vereesa, who was sitting on the back of the wild boar, also received a lot of looks.
These gazes are obscure, lustful, and full of voyeurism.
Zong Shen was naturally aware of these lewd glances.
He turned slightly sideways and held out two fingers to Cecilia, who was leading the team behind him.
He gestured towards his sides.
Cecilia instantly understood what he meant, and the entire Immortal Lancer team was divided into two rows under his guidance.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Arranged on both sides of Zong Shen, tall war horses and knights blocked the eyes of the farmers.
Seeing this scene, all the tenant farmers immediately became more honest.
Those eyes have converged. They were taking chances before, but now they no longer dare to peek at Vereesa and Luna.
After slowing down, it took everyone another seven or eight minutes to officially set foot on the streets of Bangcheng.
The streets here are all paved with thick stone slabs. The main body of the street is fifteen or six meters wide and can accommodate at least three carriages passing in parallel.
On both sides are rows of two- to three-story residences, all of which are private residences.
Most of these houses are built with stone bricks, with a layer of white mortar applied on the surface.
In Zong Shen's opinion, it is still very simple, but it is many times better than the stone and wooden buildings in the village.
On the first floor are shops facing the street, most of which are still open at this time.
A sidewalk is also planned outside the store, but there is no sign of greening.
There are snack bars on the street, as well as cloth shops with long strips of fine cloth hanging at the door.
There are not many people in the store, because this is just the outskirts of Bangcheng.
But there are still many passers-by.
Some were wearing simple cloth, while others were wearing leather armor and carrying long swords.
Without exception, they all walked in a hurry, either entering the city or walking out of the city along the streets.
When Zong Shen and others entered the street, they immediately attracted the attention of passers-by.
Although riding war beasts and war horses is not prohibited in the city, horse-drawn carriages and ox-carts are even allowed to enter the city.
But no matter where you are, it's really rare to see someone riding such a big wild boar swaggering through the city.
After entering the city, Zong Shen saw a guard tower more than twenty meters high standing not far away.
Standing on the tower are four second-order Avalon light-armored crossbowmen.
There are also four [second-order elemental arrow towers] standing nearby. These four arrow towers form a defensive node.
This defense tower placement model is also worthy of reference.
The first thing Zong Shen has to do now is to find Evans.
Put the Requiem Grass into his hand.
Let’s get acquainted first and inquire about the situation of the manor.
Make preparations for the next step to successfully enter the manor wine cellar.
Then he spent the night visiting Baron Bezos.
Give him back all the fancy things he left behind when he was young.
Returning so many items at once should be able to improve Baron Bezos' favorability a lot.
After capturing Baron Bezos, this trip to Bosbon will be much smoother.
"Please tell me where Evans is now."
Zong Shen asked the guide in his mind for help.
Soon a golden navigation arrow appeared in front of me.
The entire Bosbon except for the central area and a few streets near the central area.
Most areas within the city are open to traffic restrictions.
Whether you are riding a horse or riding a war beast.
As long as you don't cause damage to the city, no one will care about you.
But the central area is different.
It was the most heavily guarded place in the entire city.
There are large groups of state troops patrolling back and forth, and defense nodes with four arrow towers are densely distributed.
It is a very typical pattern of loose on the outside and tight on the inside.
It is not a fortress-type city that is tightly surrounded by city walls.
This kind of city has a high degree of openness and is also the model adopted by most cities now.
And Gotti Castle, where Howie once lived, is a typical fortress-type city.
The scale of the latter is often smaller than the former, which has a great advantage during wartime.
But in this peaceful period, the development progress of semi-open cities is not as fast.
Zong Shen originally wanted to go to the city to relax, but when he saw those snack bars and clothing stores, he just felt boring.
There is no sense of feasting and feasting at all!
The Bangcheng he had imagined before was filled with hustle and bustle of singing and dancing.
Good food, good wine, beautiful women, all three beauties.
The bold strippers danced enthusiastically in the square to a powerful rhythm.
The onlookers were all mercenaries licking blood from their knives, drinking wine boldly and throwing handfuls of dinars on the dancers.
The streets of Bangcheng in front of me seemed too serious and ordinary.
But Zong Shen also knew that the gold-selling cave would definitely not be located outside the city.
But this street still seems too ordinary.
He wasted no time and began to follow the navigation guide of the guide to find Evans.
After passing through streets and turning left and right, they gradually moved towards the central area.
After advancing in the city for more than half an hour, they arrived outside a large manor on the left side of the central area.
This manor covers a large area and can occupy a place in the central circle of the city where land is at a premium.
According to Mr. Mars, this place was once the property left by his father's generation.
The entire perimeter of the manor is surrounded by iron fences, and for the sake of beauty, roses are planted under the fence.
Rose is a plant with strong ability to climb walls and is covered with small thorns.
And the flowers are so abundant that a wall of flowers will bloom every corresponding season.
Through the gaps in the fence, you can see the large open space in the manor.
In these open spaces, there are soft meadows of the same length.
There is also a garden in the manor, which has obviously undergone horticultural design.
The neat and tidy shrub walls are matched with the clusters of flower fields.
There are also thick and big trees, just right distributed in several locations in the manor.
Everything seems to be designed just right and looks comfortable.
In the middle of the entire manor is a luxurious two-story mansion.
Pitched roof with large windows and mezzanine.
Next to the mansion, a row of neat cabins was built.
It looks very sentimental.
Even though we are living in a city, we feel like we are close to nature.
It seems that no matter which world we are in, the happiness of rich people is really unimaginable.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, look at how I live this little life."
"Whenever I want to build a manor like this."
"If you have nothing to do, just go and stay for a few days. You must face the sea and the flowers are blooming in spring."
Zong Shen said to Luna and Vereesa.
They followed the iron fence outside the manor for a short circle and finally found a manor gate.
Looking at the beautifully carved iron gate, Zong Shen had the illusion that time and space were confused and he had returned to Earth.
Zong Shen rode Bajie to the door, stretched out his hand and knocked.
"Clang clang clang!"
His strength is so great that even after he stops his strength, the sound of knocking on the iron door is "clang, clang, clang".
Behind her, Vereesa leaned forward slightly, using the cover of Bajie's body to take out the small wooden box from the storage compartment and handed it to Zong Shen.
"Pa bang bang..."
Soon there were several footsteps approaching.
"Pap..."
"Crunch."
"Gah..."
The iron door was divided into two, and opened towards the manor to create a gap for only one person to pass through.
Several people wearing pointed half-helmets and black and gray light armor walked out.
These people had fleshy faces and wore fancy cloaks outside their armor.
These cloaks are sewn with some colorful cloth strips, which look a bit weird.
They seemed very cautious, and after they came out, the door was closed.
"This is Lord Evans' manor."
"What can I do for you?"
They glanced at Zong Shen, who was covered in armor, and then at the Immortal Lancers and Luna.
His originally fierce expression softened a lot, and he asked in as gentle a tone as possible.
