Feng Chou looked a little strangely at the direction the mercenaries were leaving, and seemed to mutter to himself: “It’s just kobolds, why does the lord here hire mercenaries? Clean up?”

Simon looked at him strangely, and asked, “How about it?”

Feng Chou said: “My father never hires mercenaries to do it. These things, he took his Knight and his followers to clean up.”

Simon said: “That’s because your father is the pioneer of Knight, and he is the powerhouse, like these lying in the glory of the ancestors. The “real” aristocratic masters on the Internet don’t take the sword by themselves. For them, it’s too dangerous and rude to take the sword. It’s too much trouble to train Knight and soldiers, and the pension is expensive. It’s hiring mercenaries to clean up the wild animals near the territory. The easiest and most trouble-free way, anyway, mercenaries take money to do things, it doesn’t matter to them if they die.”

He pointed to the territory and said: “For a territory like this, you have to take at least Spend a few kilograms of money to hire mercenaries, clean up the wild animals near the territory, and maintain the safety of the territory. Otherwise, it won’t be long before the farmers in the castle can come out to cultivate.”

I have to take Knight and his followers to clean up the forests near the territory. Eric Knight, who has to be wounded back almost every month, thinks about Leo’s extravagant expenses at the Master School in Antalia. I don’t know what, in Feng Chou’s heart. I just feel uncomfortable…

Feng Chou tasted the feelings in his heart and became more and more certain of his own speculation. Not only did he accept Leo’s memory, he also blended the other’s feelings and part of his personality, and he I can feel that as he digests Leo’s memory, this fusion of feelings and personality has become more and more profound, and its impact on him has become greater and greater.

Next, the journey was relatively peaceful, they bypassed the Cecil collar and returned to the road again.

Along the sandy road that accompanies the river, they walked all the way east for about 20 kilometers, and they came across a territory that was larger than Sir Cecil’s territory. Bigger, already close to the size of Baron’s collar.

According to the law of the nobility, the minimum standard for the Baron Territory is one hundred square kilometers of territory and 50,000 mu of arable land. The scale of the arable land of this territory is almost 40,000 mu.

This is a manor directly belonging to the Viscount Fergesack family.

According to Leo’s memory, Feng Chou feels that the agricultural technology level of this World should be about the level of the Renaissance in Europe, but due to the existence of alchemy, the agricultural output of this World is higher than that of the Renaissance. A lot higher.

Due to the scope of human activities and farming techniques, the scale of farmland controlled by a castle or town has an upper limit.

Generally speaking, a castle controlling a standard Baron collar (50,000 mu of arable land) is already the upper limit.

So, for the nobles above Baron, most of their territories are composed of multiple territories.

In addition to controlling the town of Fergesack, Viscount Fergesack also controls three nearby jazz collars and one Baron collar.

These four territories add up, and it is said that there are more than 200,000 mu of arable land.

In addition to these direct territories, the Fergesack family still owns seven to eighty thousand acres of land on the periphery of its territory, among several remote jazz collars or gentry collars. The ownership of this land belongs to the past dynasties. The profit obtained by the Viscount issued a development order

It is these lands and manors that support the prosperity of Foggsack Town.

Compared with the previous jazz leader, this manor named Bu Buck’s leader has a larger castle, more majestic and dangerous, and the farmland outside the city is more regular.

Here, another river of about the same size merges with the Cecil River to form the Bueilenk River with a larger flow.

The irrigation facilities in this territory are more comprehensive, covering almost all the arable land.

After bypassing this manor, it was not far from the town of Fogsack. They walked less than ten kilometers on the forest road, and they suddenly opened up and came to a huge farmland. Area edge.

The town of Fogsack is surrounded by this large farmland.

The town of Fogsack is located slightly downstream of the confluence of three rivers.

When looking at the top of the mountain before, Feng Chou discovered that many territories here would choose to be at the confluence of rivers.

This is because, in order to reclaim the land, you need a water source. The richer the water source, the better. The wilderness is huge and there are many choices. Of course, you must choose the best place.

In addition to providing water sources, rivers can also provide power sources for waterwheels. Waterwheels are an important part of the irrigation system in this era. The more rivers there are, the larger the land area that the irrigation system can radiate. With one more tributary, the area of ​​high-quality arable land controlled by a castle can be increased by more than one third.

As the center of the Viscount Fergesack, the town of Fergesack must naturally choose the best place.

Among the three rivers converging in Foggsack Town, the river from Leo father’s territory is not the main stream of these three, but the smallest tributary.

The three tributaries of Foggsack Town come from the northeast, the north, and the east where Leo father’s domain is located.

The river from the north is called the Amborit River, and the river from the northeast is the Elvis River.

Feng Chou’s uncle Amberit Baron’s Amberite Baron collar is located in the upper reaches of the Amberite River, and the upper reaches of the Elvis River is located another Baron collar controlled by the Fogesack family. , Elvis led.

When the three rivers converge, the name becomes the Foggsack River. It continues to flow southwest and reaches the city of Antalia. As one of the tributaries, it merges into the Antalia River.

Among these three rivers, the Elvis River from the northeast has the largest flow.

The town of Fergesack is located on the north bank not far from the confluence of the Amborit and Elvis rivers. There is a small town not far from the south gate of Fergesack. pier.

When the three rivers converge, the amount of water is enough to sail ships. Although it is only a small boat with a carrying capacity of more than ten tons, it also doubles the exchange of goods between the city and the outside world.

Simon asks Feng Chou and Anrie to wait for him in the forest by the road. He wants to go to the city to contact the people of Chamber of Commerce, otherwise they have a lot of weapons and armor in their hands. Prone to trouble.

Anrie hesitated for a moment, and said, “Thank you very much, my friends, but I think I should leave.”

Simon knows he still can’t believe in himself, not at all Stop him, said with a faint smile: “May luck always be with you, my friend, goodbye.”

Anrie slightly smiled, turned and walked towards the depths of the forest.

Simon looked at Anrie’s back, thought for a while, and said to Feng Chou: “Follow me.”

Feng Chou followed Simon through a farmland and came to Buai By the Lenk River, Simon squatted by the river, pulled out of the curve and began to shave.

He said as he shaved his beard: “I think we should wash it before going to town, or we will be treated as jackals.”

Feng Chou agrees. .
