My Empire War Game

Chapter 125: Bumper harvest

The current military strength of Zhenbei Fort has changed a lot. From the earliest there were only seventy-one barbarians and warriors, to now there are 186 military forces including the security team and recruits.

Thirty-man security team, forty recruits, forty-man reinforcement order summoners and five scouts who have just completed preliminary training, plus the Barbarian Guard, are the military strength that Suren now possesses.

The population of Zhenbei Fort has now exceeded 2,000. Of course, more than 70% of them are Serfs of Sulun. Even the refugees rely on working for Sulun to survive.

Because of the trade, several caravans will come to trade in Zhenbeibao every month. Now the sugar of Zhenbeibao is very popular in the northern provinces. It is also because of the sugar that high-end rum has also succeeded in the nobility. The market opened in China, and it has been almost four months since Sulun came to Zhenbei Fort. This small town deep in the northern wilderness has also gained some popularity among the nobles.

As long as there are no accidents, Sulun, the pioneering lord, will become a real nobleman in the realm. At that time, many nobles will come to cheat him. After all, a rising noble can entrust a large number of low-level nobles.

Su Lun never thought about accepting the nobles' contribution. Those nobles must have lost their minds. He didn't plan to give the nobles a place. Now he is busy harvesting food.

More than three months have passed since the first piece of farmland was reclaimed. The first batch of potatoes has matured in about 100 days, and the remaining potatoes will be in the next half. Mature within a month.

As long as there is a bumper harvest of potatoes this year, with potato output, even if potatoes are no longer planted in the next few years, there will be no famine in the territory of Surun.

Of course, starting next year, Sulun will also reduce the number of potatoes planted, and plant some wheat and other grains. After all, isn't he going to keep eating potatoes, fried noodles, xiaolongbao, and scallion pancakes? Why do you want to eat potatoes if you have the conditions? He plans to try all kinds of food from previous lives.

The first batch of land reclaimed in Zhenbeipu belonged to the best paddy fields, and the land was considered fertile. Although there is no fertilizer, the yield of this crop of potatoes is still very good.

When he came to the first batch of potato fields, Su Lun randomly selected a few pieces of farmland, and then asked the serfs to start harvesting grain.

"Lord, the land you divided has already been manned." An attendant came to Sulun and said.

Su Lun looked at it, and the serfs on those pieces of land were ready, and then nodded, "Let's start."

"Start!" shouted a soldier with a loud voice next to him. With an order, the serfs began to harvest potatoes in these specially selected fields with various tools.

The soft soil opened up, grabbing the vine and pulling it hard, and bunches of potatoes were pulled out of the soil. Shake the soil away, the potatoes that are at least the size of a fist are connected into a bunch. It looks very gratifying. A bunch of potatoes weighs several kilograms.

The potatoes are ripped off the vines, and the fruits are thrown into the bamboo baskets next to them. The potatoes in each piece of land will be put together for weighing. This is to estimate the yield per mu of the field to the greatest extent. Although there are still errors, there are still differences. Not big. From these, we can roughly estimate the output of this year's potatoes.

An acre of land is not big. These serfs are so fast that they want to make a good impression in front of Su Lun. As long as Su Lun is happy to reward them with a few points, they can get free body faster and then own their own land. , These people are very satisfied.

Soon, one acre of potatoes nearby was harvested, and Sulun asked them to go and weigh them. Baskets of potatoes were sifted out of the soil and weighed. The potatoes produced from each piece of land were weighed and labeled one by one.

Potatoes are widely cultivated in this world, and most of the common food is potatoes. Who makes this kind of action easy to grow and yield high? Only a small amount of land will grow rice, wheat and other crops, which are usually used to pay taxes. Moreover, rice and wheat are basically eaten as daily food by nobles or big merchants.

Taxes in this world are not low, because the taxes in various places are determined by the lords. The kinder ones are fine. Those who are greedy will collect various taxes. They go to catch fish in the river to collect taxes, and go to the mountains to chop wood to collect taxes. A poll tax is also paid every year. In short, various taxes are collected from the aspects of food, clothing, housing and transportation.

When farming every year, the nobles' land must be cultivated before they can plant their own fields. Three days a week must be used to work for the lord. If it weren't for potatoes, half of the civilians in this world would starve to death.

About half an hour later, the potato output of these plots of land was calculated. The potato yield of the largest piece of land was 303 kilograms, and the potato yield of the least piece of land was 254 kilograms.

The output of more than two hundred kilograms is not too high, because it is new land, the output in the first year is slightly lower, and the output will be higher when the farm manure is available next year. Even if it is the current output, the output of these land will be also higher. It is enough to feed tens of thousands of people, and potatoes can be planted for three seasons a year, so for a long time, he doesn't have to worry about food problems.

After the grain is resolved, Su Lun can increase the intensity of population introduction. At least 300,000 mu of fertile land can be reclaimed in Zhenbeipu, which can feed 50,000 to 60,000 people. Now only about 10,000 mu has been reclaimed. Plan to leave those lands empty.

The geographical location of Zhenbei Fort is still a bit remote, but if it weren't so remote, he wouldn't have his turn to open up this piece of land. It would have been occupied by others a long time ago, so there is no complaint. If Suren wanted population, he could only rely on the caravan to bring in some refugees at a time, or go to Carter City to buy slaves by himself.

However, both methods need to spend a lot of money, UU Reading www.uukanshu. Com is also slow to work, unless Su Lun is sure to get a recruitment order every time, otherwise this is the best way.

For those drow elves, Suren also wanted to subdue. Drow elves are also a powerful race, and compared to the obvious shortcomings of barbarians, drow elves have almost no shortcomings. Of course, if they are not a dark girl of faith, Suren did not dare to accept these drow elves.

Except for the drow who believes in the dark girl, other drow elves seem to be mentally ill in ten out of nine of them. Every day is a variety of conspiracies and murders. If you have this time, it is better to practice riding. The technique is good.

So far, Su Lun has not actively contacted those drow elves. He has experienced escape and finally settled down. These drow elves are actually very sensitive and insecure, and they have lived in that kind of deceitful environment for a long time. It is difficult to trust other people, and the best way for Su Lun now is to express some kindness to them, but not too close to them.

In fact, Suren has already regarded these drow elves as the flesh of his mouth. Those drow elves who live in the dark world all year round cannot adapt to the environment of the northern wasteland. How much winter is in the northern wasteland. It's cold, and you can't imagine it if you haven't experienced it.
