The tracks of the Bearer mecha rolled over the dry grass.
It rumbled towards the northwest of the territory.
After planning, the territories, regions and regions are far apart.
It is a full six to seven kilometers from the living area to the agricultural and pastoral area.
At the speed of the load-bearing mecha, it would take more than ten minutes to arrive.
Unlike before, after leaving the lord's courtyard, you only need to walk for two or three minutes to reach your destination.
But after all, this is the future trend of the territory and it is also a necessary process.
The territory cannot always look like a chaotic settlement, with all the buildings crowded together.
After arriving in the farming and pastoral area, Zong Shen began to plan a windbreak wall on the edge of the pasture.
There are more than ten straw sheds placed inside.
It's not like he hasn't considered building his own shed.
In fact, DIY is also feasible, but compared to building a finished building.
Doing it yourself is much less efficient.
Therefore, it is easiest to build a straw shed directly.
The farmers he brought began to build.
There are five or six farmers left who are not idle either.
They were all sent by Zong Shen to collect branches and fodder on the grassland near the territory.
He had all the original hay reserves in the territory be piled on one side of the pasture.
These hays are not only rations, but also become part of the cold-proof facilities for cattle and sheep.
As for the magic heat ball, you can wait until the challenge comes before placing it.
All three thermal balls will be hung in the straw shed.
Three relatively warm areas are formed.
As for the large heater, Zong Shen thinks it is unnecessary.
That thing requires special personnel to keep an eye on it, and pine tar blocks or wood must be added regularly for burning and heating.
If this kind of open fire heating is slightly wrong, it can easily ignite the surrounding dry grass.
But the heat ball is different.
Once activated, it will continue to emit heat.
As long as you charge the magic energy in advance, it is enough.
There is no danger of open flames, and no toxic gases are produced.
When the cattle and sheep feel the cold, they will move towards warmer places on their own.
Moreover, the fur on cattle and sheep is not for decoration.
These means should be sufficient.
All that's left is to do your best and obey fate.
I really can’t wait until winter is over to purchase a new batch.
More than a hundred cattle and sheep cost only 20,000 to 30,000 mainland dinars.
What's more, Mr. Mars will soon come to the territory to invest in the construction of a large ranch.
Especially the wind blocking wall can definitely come in handy.
After solving the problem of keeping out the cold in agricultural and pastoral areas.
There is basically nothing to worry about in the entire territory.
Severe cold alone cannot cause serious damage to those buildings.
Just make sure there is no problem with heating the personnel.
Various models of heaters were distributed.
So are those kettles and ceiling stoves.
In the cold winter, you can also boil some hot water to drink.
As for the issue of protecting the lord's courtyard from the cold, Zong Shen wasn't worried at all.
The sturdiness of the lord's courtyard was originally much better than that of the folk houses and stone houses.
And the entire inner city is surrounded by a wooden wall.
The biting cold wind cannot be driven straight in.
When the extreme cold hits, close the doors and windows tightly and activate the heat ball.
Wearing a big coat, I hide in bed and read a book, or have a drink in the water [Channel].
The books I collected before are all on Mariel, so I can read them in my spare time.
However, there is another issue that Zong Shen is more worried about, and that is the scout team assigned to Dinan Village.
Their village should have established a firm foothold.
However, if they are affected by the cold winter, they will have to wear jackets.
Zong Shen was not worried that they would freeze to death, but he was worried about whether they would attract the attention of the indigenous people.
During the crypt challenge, the contact between the natives and the lords was not too frequent.
All kinds of weirdness will not be exposed on the table.
But the situation was different during this time.
God knows what the natives would think when they saw the lords shivering in their thick coats.
Zong Shen thought of this, took out the communication crystal, and contacted Tiezhu.
The communication was quickly connected, and Zong Shenyan explained briefly and comprehensively.
Let them stay away from the cold and stay warm these days, and try to avoid going out as much as possible.
Tie Zhu also took the opportunity to report on the progress of the past few days.
They rented a shop next to the Wild Thorn Tavern in Dinan Village.
It's just that it's not open for the time being because they are still working with the village chief of Dinan Village.
A very cunning middle-aged man was negotiating.
Dinan Village does not have any valuable specialties.
It is also an ordinary village.
The population, flow of people, and the development level of agriculture and animal husbandry are all lower than that of Sitano Village.
It is slightly stronger than the destroyed Odo Village.
So Tiezhu doesn't know what industry to pursue for the time being.
Fortunately, the rent for shops in the village is not too expensive.
He rented a room and used it as a place for everyone to stay.
Logically speaking, the best industry to start is agriculture and animal husbandry.
However, Tiezhu and others are not suitable for choosing agriculture and animal husbandry.
Because as members of the territory, they will be affected by the lord's challenge.
And as scouts and assassins, it's okay to let them assassinate and gather information.
If they were allowed to raise cattle and sheep, it would be a waste of their lives.
Now I am in contact with the village chief to purchase real estate in the village.
However, it cannot be said that Tiezhu has gained nothing these days.
At least he was already a familiar face in the village.
The landowners and wealthy people in Dinan Village all know that some wealthy locals have come from nowhere in the village.
By the way, I also developed a relationship with the young cook from the Wild Thorn Tavern next door.
That cook is indeed very talented, and he is considered a talent in this village-level tavern.
After they established a firm foothold in Tiezhu.
Then you can continue to transport people to the territory in the name of employment.
Zong Shen listened patiently to Tiezhu's report.
To be honest, he didn't have much hope in Tie Zhu's actions.
It's just to find something to do for the scout team, which has a relatively low presence in the territory.
It can be regarded as a first sight in Dinan Village.
After the destruction of Odo Village, the closest villages to Zong Shen's territory were Dinan Village and Xitano Village.
These two villages are also important sources of population for the territory in the future.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! As long as these two villages are annexed, it means at least thousands of people.
As for the issue of governance, Zong Shen was not worried at all.
He has seen some of the rules of the lord system.
There must be enough heroic talents in the village to rule the entire village.
Heroes, on the other hand, do not take up control.
If we could really annex the entire village, we wouldn't have to worry about the issue of governance at all.
The native heroes in the village are enough to meet the needs of leadership.
At this time, Zong Shen came to a conclusion after repeated observations.
It has also been confirmed by the strategy module.
As long as he is powerful enough, even if he annexes a state, there will be no problem.
Like when taking on the kobold horde.
The remaining kobolds can be completely controlled by Dutra.
It is said that it also sacrificed two deputies before.
Therefore, there is no faster way to develop than to annex complete forces.
Although it is not the right time to take action now, it is worth preparing in advance.
There is Mr. Mars in the village of Citano, and there are Tiezhu and others in the village of Dinan.
Zong Shen is waiting for an opportunity.
Judging from the many clues he discovered, this opportunity will come soon.
If they don't come, then they can only consider annexing the aboriginal villages by force until the territory develops enough to compete with the giant city's crusade.
After all, annexation by force is the fastest way to develop.
At the same time, before doing this, we must try our best to build good relationships with the indigenous people.
Develop your own personal network.
No matter how the situation changes in the future, indigenous forces will be in a dominant position for a long time to come.
There are bound to be great benefits to establishing a good relationship in advance.
After Zong Shen listened to Tiezhu's report and gave a few brief instructions, he hung up the communication.
Next, he drove Mariel to the stable in the loader mecha.
[Second-level stable] has thirty stalls and is a semi-open structure.
The same method of hay and windshield heating balls is used to ensure the heating of the stables.
The windproof wall here is left to Mariel to build.
At the same time, I contacted Vereesa and asked her to drive a loader mecha and bring a few farmers to support the construction.
In addition, you have to be responsible for returning the farmers in the farming and pastoral areas to their living areas later.
He watched Mariel hammering on the shadow of the building with a small hammer, and Zong Shen found it a bit funny.
At this point, the territory is basically laid out.
Now Zong Shen only has 9 [Magic Heat Balls] left on hand.
In a closed environment like the Lord's Mansion, only four or five thermal balls are enough.
Zong Shen left Mariel waiting alone.
He himself drove the loader mecha to the business district.
A [second-level market] was moved back, leaving a [first-level market] in its place.
He temporarily moved this [second-level market] to the lord's courtyard.
If the weather is too bad and it is inconvenient to go out, he can still have a market nearby.
You don’t need to go all the way to the business district.
Now he still has a lot of cold-warming supplies in his hands.
Including the remaining 54 sets of small heaters, 50 sets of medium-sized heaters, and 6 sets of large heaters.
These can be sold to legion members at a low price.
The rest are listed for sale in the [market] and sold at a good price.
Now the lords are frantically grabbing all kinds of cold-warming supplies.
[Market] Those originally listed for sale simply cannot meet the frenzied buying and demand of the whole people.
The only ones left for sale are all at sky-high prices.
As long as the lords could accept the price, all of them were sold out.
Zong Shen, however, has not taken action yet.
Now it can only be regarded as a warm-up before the challenge.
It is far from the time when most lords find it difficult to cry for father and mother.
Zong Shen estimated that before the start of the second stage, the lords would appreciate the power of the first stage.
This is the best time to dump cold-proof supplies.
By that time, everyone had already felt the power of the severe cold.
The first round of temporary points redemption has not yet started.
Facing the sudden drop in temperature in the second stage, even if Zong Shen offers a higher price, the lords will happily accept it.
After all, the temperature in the second stage will be 20°C lower than the first stage.
Now Zong Shen is ready to deal with the issue of legion members first.
He opened the [Legion Channel] and used the authority of the legion commander to tattle all the members.
"@全: I will sell a batch of cold-proof materials to the legion at cost price. Each person is limited to purchase 10 pieces of [brand new sheepskin jackets], 300 pieces of food, a set of [small heater] or [medium heater], if necessary
Submit the request to Deputy Corps Chief Jiang Yi."
Only one message can be sent per day.
It will appear directly in front of the legion members in the form of subtitles.
It's not that Zong Shen is stingy, there are now 46 members in the legion.
Multiplying these supplies by 46 is not a small amount.
These limited supplies per person, plus the so-called difference compensation packages issued after the challenge, should be enough to meet the cold-warming needs of the legion members.
Every time he is generous, he loses one more point of wealth.
All I can say is that an appropriate amount is good, and too much is never enough.
If Zong Shen can't make money from these legion members, it's already considered a good thing.
This batch of supplies will also be a big help to them.
Zong Shen will be sold entirely at the purchase cost price, which will probably bring back two to three thousand dinars in blood.
You must know that the prices of cold-proof materials in the [market] have increased seven to eight times.
This time he lost more than 20,000 dinars.
If it were replaced by basic resources, then this number would be even larger.
Zong Shen shook his head and summed these up into the legion's operating costs.
As a boss, when it's time to disperse money, you still have to do so appropriately.
After sending all the messages, Zong Shen took out the communication crystal and started to contact Jiang Yi.
A certain amount of supplies were handed over to her through the [Market] and designated for sale.
After Jiang Yi receives dinars or equivalent resources, he will transfer them to Zong Shen.
Naturally, Zong Shen was too lazy to handle such complicated matters personally.
It was left to Jiang Yilai to take full responsibility.
At the same time, he gave Jiang Yi a [Magic Heat Ball], 30 sets of [Double-sided Wool Warm Clothes], one set of [Large Heater], and two sets of [Medium Heater].
These supplies, plus the cold-warming supplies Jiang Yi had collected in advance, were enough for her and her subjects to survive the winter, and they could even sell some for profit.
This can be regarded as a kind of reward from Zong Shen.
Now that the winter challenge has come to fruition, Jiang Yi's admiration for Zong Shen is like a surging river.
No one can make her betray Zong Shen.
This is an irresistible thigh that can even change your destiny!
Wait until the cold-warming supplies within the legion are dealt with and the supplies are transferred.
It's already past nine o'clock in the morning.
In less than three hours, winter will officially arrive.
Zong Shen could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
He hasn't stopped since morning.
Now he can finally take a break and check out what he has gained in Bosbon.
And he still has two treasure chests that have not yet been opened.
One is a silver support treasure chest that was obtained when supporting legion members in the past.
There is also a silver treasure chest found in the Evans Manor mansion.
In addition, there is the wealth of Evans and the wealth left by Mr. Mars and his father.
When Zong Shen thought of this, his interest became high again.
