My Empire War Game

Chapter 571 Preparing for a Long Journey

northern wilderness.

When Su Lun returned here again, the summer had gradually come to an end. The summer in the northern wilderness was not hot, probably because it was close to the north, and it was far less hot than the south. There is a golden scene outside, and you don't need to guess to know that this is another good harvest.

Su Lun first went to the city hall to check how the work of the governing hall was doing during this period. The day when the serfs would be granted the status of freedmen was coming soon, which was a very important day for Zhenbei City.

Originally, more than 90% of the residents in Zhenbei City were these serfs. Last year, when the first batch of serfs expired, they obtained the status of commoners, owned land and houses, and became real property owners. The stimulation of other serfs was very great.

So in the next year, those serfs broke out with amazing enthusiasm, that is, the promise that Su Lun gave at the beginning after they came here that day was not an illusory lie, in order to get a better Life, the amazing enthusiasm that these serfs erupted.

Zhenbei City has experienced amazing changes in the past year, the most obvious being the farmland. Originally, last year, the farmland outside Zhenbei City was 500,000 mu, but only one year later, the farmland outside the city An astonishing 800,000 mu has been reclaimed, which is an extra 300,000 mu.

You must know that it took four or five years for the first 500,000 mu of farmland. Although there was a shortage of manpower at the beginning and a lot of manpower was used to build the city, 300,000 mu of farmland was reclaimed and planted in just one year. This result is still amazing.

Last year, more than a thousand serfs obtained the status of civilians. At that time, they obtained a total of more than 6,000 acres of land and houses. This year, the number of this group has increased by more than 10,000 serfs. The points are much higher than the previous batch of freed serfs.

According to the calculations of the officials of the city hall, basically everyone can exchange eight acres of land, so Zhenbei City needs to take out at least 80,000 acres of land. Of course, these lands are not reclaimed, but some of them have been reclaimed and some have not yet been reclaimed.

This approach can quickly increase the cultivated land. This time, Su Lun allocated 40,000 mu of reclaimed cultivated land and allocated 40,000 mu of wasteland for them.

"Your Majesty the King!"

"This is the list of serfs who have been freed this time, as well as the land they will be allocated." A rather gorgeous-looking mature female officer smiled at Su Lun, took out a document and handed it to Su Lun.

These female officials are actually the family members of the nobles who were exiled to Zhenbei City before. There are a lot of nobles exiled here. Insects, Su Lun would not raise them and throw them directly to the farm for farming. As for those capable ones, they were sent to work everywhere.

Compared with those men, many female family members of the nobles did better. They quickly adapted to the rules of Zhenbei City. Most of the noble women were literate and had received a certain degree of education. These women were arranged in the Various places in the Beifeng Principality are working as female officials, clerks, and filers, and so far, they are doing very well.

"Most of the work has been done and a small amount is being checked off."

"Which areas are the farmlands to be allocated to them?" Su Lun asked after looking through the list.

"It's all here." The female officer took out a map and said.

Su Lun flipped through it. This map marked all the farmland around Zhenbei City, and even the locations of various canals, waterwheels, and wells.

What Su Lun checked was whether there was any trick in the land used for distribution this time. Su Lun directly said that the land was allocated, but did not say whether it was divided into high-grade or low-grade fields. The difference is huge. If it is a first-class field, not only the grain yield after planting is high, but also the surrounding water source is convenient, and the yield is two or three times higher than that of the newly reclaimed farmland.

The price of this kind of high-quality land is much higher than that of newly reclaimed farmland. Who knows if those officials will come up with any tricks. Although these officials are sent to prison for political training every year, how could such a thing happen? One hundred percent sure.

In fact, this is also a loophole that Su Lun deliberately left. He used this method to fish to see if any officials took the bait. Sure enough, as he expected, after checking for a while, Su Lun quickly discovered that some high-quality farmland had been divided, and then compared it with the list.

Su Lun easily found those people. After discovering the problem, Su Lun didn't say anything, but directly notified Jin Yiwei to let them continue to review. Looking at the panicked expressions of several Jin Yiwei commanders, Su Lun Just throwing the information to them, these people naturally know how to deal with the matter, if they can't even do these things well, then he will consider changing people.

After dealing with the matter, Su Lun left the city hall. The development of Zhenbei City is a bit fast, and the functions of many departments have not been perfected. This time, he came to beat the official system of Zhenbei City.

Back in the inner city, the entire inner city is populated by followers of Su Lun, and there are several factories in Zhenbei City, where outsiders will be discovered as soon as they come in. When Su Lun came here, a large number of workers were Busy, some people nearby are directing.

After walking in, what appeared in front of me were boxy boxes one by one. These are the goods that are going to be transported to Deep Water City. Su Lun is going to open up a new channel, so he will naturally bring the goods. This time he is preparing various specialties from Zhenbei City.

Paper, sugar, some magic potions and magic items, and some drinks, but not many, the main reason is the difference in diet between the East and the West. Su Lun doesn't know if rum and vodka are suitable for the Eastern Continent.

After several years of development in Zhenbei City, in addition to producing these things, it has also begun to sell some military supplies, such as war horses and weapons. There are centaurs, and the war horses produced in Zhenbei City are very popular in the human kingdom. The horses here are among the finest in the entire Western Continent.

As for weapons, after having the gray dwarf blacksmith, the quality of the weapons in Zhenbei City has risen sharply. Not only are they durable, sharp and tough, the price is not too expensive, and some high-quality weapons have been enchanted.

In this era, the weapons produced by the dwarves are equivalent to the high-end weapons produced by several big countries in the previous life. As for the enchanted weapons, they are equivalent to the most advanced weapons, such as Dongfeng Express, F-22 and so on.

The profit of the arms trade is very high. After all, how can the arms trade not make money? The southern countries have strict inspections on the arms trade, and ordinary military weapons are restricted. Because of the proliferation of pirates, many nobles are worried that those pirates will get too much money. Excellent weapon.

As for enchanted weapons, it is even more difficult. One or two of these weapons are fine, and large transactions are strictly restricted, but there are no restrictions here in Zhenbei City. After all, these weapons are not used in the North Wind Principality and the Kingdom of Florence. Of course, Zhenbei City has strict restrictions on the sale of weapons locally. After all, Zhenbei City is located in the northern wasteland, and there are too many goblins, orcs, and jackals around. If these weapons fall into their hands, it will also be a threat to Zhenbei City. .

After checking the cargo again, Su Lun nodded, because this time the Nulong was accompanying and could carry more cargo, so all kinds of supplies must be prepared adequately.

Hathaway is also here, and she is also preparing the materials for trading, and is also recording the materials she wants to buy. Many potions are unique to the Eastern Continent, and she plans to buy some in large quantities this time.

"If only there were magic airships!"

"Airship? Do you have technical information?" Su Lun raised his eyebrows.

"Key information is missing." Hathaway said with a shrug.

The planet where Su Lun and the others are now is very large, and its volume is many times that of the Earth. The distance between the Eastern Continent and the Western Continent is relatively short, while the distance between the Western Continent and the other continents is very far. It takes almost a year for the trade to go back and forth, and it is difficult to navigate the endless sea only by ships.

The shallow sea area is okay, there are not many monsters, but in the deep sea, all kinds of sea monsters emerge one after another, and the strength of many sea monsters is not inferior to that of giant dragons. Ordinary ships are basically destroyed when they encounter them. , so the communication between these continents is through magic airships or long-distance teleportation arrays.

Long-distance teleportation arrays cannot transport large quantities of supplies, so airships are the main means of trade between these continents. These magical airships are owned by several large wizarding organizations, and they have completely monopolized the trade between these continents. It can be said that relying on these makes a lot of money.

"The difficulty of the airship is not high. It is good to bless the floating spell, the space expansion spell, etc., but the defensive rune array on it still needs to be solved." Hathaway explained.

The other is the means of attack. Although the airship has avoided the monsters in the ocean, sometimes there will be some monsters in the sky, and countermeasures are essential. Another issue is the energy source. An airship needs to consume a lot of energy. The element pool cannot be made on the airship. It is very important to make an energy source for the airship.

In fact, the airship technology first appeared in the early days of the Arcane Empire, and it was eliminated in the middle and late stages of the Arcane Empire. However, there are many faults in the current wizard civilization, and many skill trees lack key points. There is no way around this.

Although the airship technology was eliminated in the era of the Arcane Empire, this technology is still very good, cheap and cost-effective, otherwise the Arcane Empire would not have used it for so long.
