Suren’s lord’s castle is hurrying to build. On the design drawing, his lord’s castle is very magnificent and majestic. Part of it was built, and other places were kept temporarily. After he has enough time and money, he will continue to build.

It's not that he doesn't want to capture more slaves to work for him. The key issue is food. Without enough food, it is simply impossible to feed more people. The first batch of 500 acres of farmland has been planted with potatoes. These potatoes will mature before winter at the earliest. Now Suren is planning to further expand the planting of potatoes.

The first batch of cultivated land is very fertile, even if there is no fertilizer, the yield here will not be low. Except for some of these lands in Suren, the rest is planned to be distributed through military rewards, external sales, or distribution to slaves with credit.

As long as the land is planted with crops, the territory will receive agricultural taxes, and the sale of the land can also obtain a sum of money, so that his territory will have a stable source of income, of course this is the best Circumstances, now his territory is completely a place where birds do not shit, and no free people are willing to come.

So this method is over before it starts. If you want to attract free people to increase the population of your territory, it is better to buy slaves.

Suren’s territory is like an inverted bowl. The camp is at the highest point of the bowl. At the edge of the bowl is surrounded by two rivers. Surrounded by plains. Suren has been patrolling the territory during this time. At the time, I also measured the land that can be cultivated in the territory.

Then mark it out on the strategic map and make some calculations. The land that can be reclaimed exceeds 200 square kilometers. If all of this land is reclaimed, at least 300,000 mu of arable land can be reclaimed, so much. The farmland is more than enough to feed 350,000 people.

Of course, even if the territory develops, the monsters in the wilderness still need to be cleared.

Two days later, Johnson returned with dozens of Barbarian women and children. With these dozens of Barbarian women and children joining the territory, the manpower in the territory finally became less nervous.

These Barbarian women and children are very curious about the territories, but they quickly invested in the construction, because according to the reward standard set by Suren, these Barbarian fighters can get the field for their merits and can get rid of the slave status. Citizens of the territory. After knowing that they can get rid of slave status and become free people, these Barbarians burst out with a strong passion and invested one by one in the construction territory.

To Suren's surprise, in addition to Barbarian, there was a caravan of people returning with Johnson. This caravan has forty-two or four rounds of carriage, and the entire caravan has more than 150 people.

"Dear Lord, I am Owen, the manager of the Bauhinia Chamber of Commerce. I am very glad to see you here." A plump body, a glint in his eyes from time to time.

"My caravan needs to pass through your territory, and we will pay taxes according to the normal level."

"Irving, your caravan is going to the depths of the wilderness?" Suren told Irving I am very interested. The caravan that dares to enter the wilderness is not a weak one. Given the danger of the wilderness, a caravan with insufficient strength is very likely to die here. This caravan dare to come to the wilderness to trade in the wilderness. It seems that the strength is absolutely strong.

At the same time, this also shows that they will definitely have huge profits this trip. If there is no high enough profit, how can these unprofitable caravans come here with huge risks? .

Mr. Lu Xun said well, if there is 10% profit, capital will be guaranteed to be used everywhere; with 20% profit, capital can be activated; with 50% profit, capital will take risks. ; For 100% profit, capital dare to trample on all human laws; with 300% profit, capital dare to commit any crimes, even risking the danger of hanging their heads.

Suren is going crazy now, how could he miss any chance to make a fortune?

Owen was also surprised in his heart, surprised that this nobleman actually established a pioneering base here. As a caravan that often walks in the wilderness, they know how much they need to face to build a camp here. Difficulties, those gnoll tribes in the wilderness are not so easy to deal with.

Thousands of gnolls are added with more goblin kobolds and trolls. With such a lineup, even a thousand well-trained elite human soldiers will not necessarily win, more At that time, both sides suffer. Moreover, a five-meter-high city wall has been built in this territory. How much manpower and material resources will it take to build such a stone wall?

Be aware that it is more than two hundred kilometers away from the nearest Blackstone City. To maintain a thousand human army and build such a city wall, the cost of it can make the overwhelming majority aristocracy go bankrupt.

The young human noble in front of him dared to build the city in this place. What is more surprising is that he found a large number of goblin kobolds and gnoll slaves in this territory. This means that they have a firm foothold here.

"Yes, your lord, our caravan is ready to enter the depths of the wasteland and trade with some other races."

"gnoll?"

"No, gnoll prefers direct robbery. We are dealing with the Allend tribe in the north. They are a group of centaur."

"Centaur?" Suren said in surprise.

"Right."

Next, Suren wanted to continue to prepare for inquiries, but Owen had no intention of opening up the content of the transaction. But even if Irving didn't say anything, Suren probably knew what they were trading.

It's nothing more than bows and arrows, horses, and some wasteland specialties, fur or magic materials. Centaur is good at raising horses, and their tribe’s longbows are also very famous. The caravan used to trade food and other necessities of life. At least ten times more profit once and again.

"Well, I agree to let your caravan rest here, but according to the rules, you need to pay 10% of the tax." Suren quickly agreed.

"Of course you can pay for golden dinar or food."

"Thank you, your benevolent lord, we will prepare taxes soon." Upon hearing Suren’s words, Owen nodded, Ten percent of taxation falls within the normal range. In fact, Irving also considered not paying taxes, but after seeing the size of the territory, he dispelled the idea. Don’t be surprised. Few merchants who trade in the wilderness are good people. They even often appear as robbers. Loot some territories.

Although Suren’s territory looks very crude, the power it represents is beyond what ordinary people can do. Without a strong military force guarantee, they are simply impossible to defeat the monster army. Not to mention capturing so many wilderness natives as slaves.
