My Empire War Game

　　 The cost of open-pit mining is very low, and it is far safer than mines. If this mine appears within the territory of the Kingdom of Florence, it will definitely make the surrounding nobles rush. Although this is only an iron mine, the investment is low, and the output profit is higher than that of ordinary silver mines.

　　 After reconfirming the location of the mine, Su Lun opened the strategic map and looked at the map from here to the territory. He was about to find the nearest route.

Soon Sulun found something on the map. About one kilometer away from the mine, there was a river flowing by. Sulun deliberately checked it out. The width of the river was between eight and thirteen meters. The water depth is two or three meters, and the flow is average, just an ordinary small river.

However, this small river is a tributary of the Baishui River. From here, it will continue to extend to the northeast for about three kilometers, and it will merge into the Baishui River, and then go upstream along the Baishui River, and finally return to the territory’s wharf. In this river, the ore mined from the mine can be transported to the territory by water.

　　 Compared with land transportation, water transportation has too many advantages, not only the transportation volume is large, the speed is fast, and the cost is also low.

The river is three meters deep and eight meters wide. Although it can't pass too large ships, it is completely enough to transport iron ore. The ore mining uses slaves. The cost is equally low and pitiful, plus the Suren Territory is already used For hydraulic forging machines, labor costs are once again reduced, as for the blast furnace and fuel for smelting ore.

　　 The cost of this part is also very low. There are trees everywhere in the wilderness. Slaves can also be used to cut down trees. In this way, the cost of forging a piece of refined iron is horribly low.

For example, a piece of equipment forged by Suren for his Barbarian Guard. If it is in Carter City, these equipment will cost at least two hundred jinnars, but in Suren territory, the cost of this equipment is only 30 gold at most. Nar.

　　 The cost of manpower and transportation in the mine is removed. The most expensive forging cost is also replaced by hydraulic forging machines. The new blast furnace used in the territory has increased production while reducing costs again. Therefore, the lowest cost of the final set of equipment will be so low.

　　 Even if Su Lun sells his equipment at the price of 150 jinnars per set, he can easily make a lot of profits, and such a low price can also attract merchants willing to take the risk to trade here.

　　 With a decision in his heart, Su Lun did not stay here any longer, and asked the two barbarian warriors to direct the kobolds to build houses here, while Su Lun rushed to the territory.

There are now 1,500 slaves of goblins, kobolds, and jackals in the territory. Among them, the number of goblins is the largest, with more than 700 people, and the kobolds have more than 500 people. The rest are hobgoblins and jackals. , There are about two hundred people.

Although the kobolds are not very powerful, this race is good at mining. Suren is going to send all the more than 500 kobolds to the mine for mining, plus the original more than 200 in the mine. Kobolds, close to eight hundred kobold miners, are almost enough. In addition, a team must be formed to protect the mine.

　　 It's just that, the territory that was originally well-populated has suddenly become in short supply.

The development of the territory up to now, Suren has felt that his barbarian guards are somewhat insufficient. The free people in the territory are sparse and cannot recruit human soldiers. As for the barbarian women and children, some children can participate in the reserve. There are many barbarian teenagers. They will be adults next year.

　　 It's just that even so, it can't quench the near thirst.

This situation cannot be changed for a while. The recruitment order used last time has not even been recruited for a ghost shadow. Su Lun has completely given up. He plans to mine some iron ore first, and then transport it back for forging. arms.

After the weapons were forged, he asked Genn to take the caravan to transport the weapons to Carter City for sale. At the low cost here, even if the price was lowered, he could still make a lot of profits. After he had money, he would go there. The slave market buys serfs or other slaves.

　　Use these slaves to fill the problem of lack of population in the territory. In addition to these, Suren also intends to promote his territory in the surrounding cities, attracting civilians who want to obtain land to serve as free citizens.

　　 Because there has been no war in the vicinity of Carter City for decades, the population has surged. Many people are born without land. You must know that the inheritance of property in this world is inherited by the eldest son, and other sons will go out independently when they reach adulthood.

　　This situation has caused many people to have no farmland or money, so they can only work in cities. Most of the mercenary professions are such people. Those who own industrial farmland rarely migrate. Su Lun’s territory is not attractive to them. Only those who have nothing will take risks and travel through hundreds of miles of wasteland to live in Su Lun’s territory~www. ltnovel.com~Su Lun’s goal is these people, recruiting these people to the territory to become his free people, although most of these people have no assets, but as long as they work hard in the territory, Su Lun will pay them wages so that they can buy in the territory. Family business. Or use the installment method to sell the farmland to them.

　　 In fact, Su Lun was already considering restoring freedom to the serfs under him, of course he would not do that now.

　　He is going to let these slaves work for a few years, and then gradually cancel their working status and let them become free people. Although Su Lun seemed to have suffered a great loss when he released his slaves, he actually suffered a lot from the calculation.

When they were slaves, these people would naturally not work as slaves. Even if they were forced to work, their efficiency would be high. Although they saved money, they did not create much value. However, if Su Lun agreed with them to work hard for him Within a few years, he can be pardoned as a slave and become a free man.

　　 Then there will definitely be a leap forward in the positive development of these slaves. After a few years, after these slaves became free people, they naturally wanted a better life, so they would definitely work harder and then contribute taxes to Sulun.

　　Calculated like this, the value they create is much stronger than those of slaves. Of course, Su Lun didn't do this kind of thing at the beginning, after all, the traditional power of this world is still very strong.

　　 At least he was prepared to wait until he became stronger before doing so. If it was done in the southern Sulun, I would probably be concerned about the influence of the surrounding territories, but in the northern wasteland, where the emperor is far away, basically no one cares.
