Black Iron Crown

Chapter 177: Future plan

Fort Morand was already busy at this time. Countless residents were busy in the fields. They sweated and put bundles of wheat on the roadside and prepared to receive them in the warehouse of their home.

   Tired, but can't affect the joy of the harvest, their whole body is soaked in sweat, but the smile on their faces can't hide anything.

   For the residents whose hungry stomachs have become a lifetime memory, they are not afraid of fatigue, they are afraid that there is not enough food to fill their hungry stomachs, and their children are crying because of hunger.

The golden wheat waves rustled under the sway of the autumn wind. The waves on the sea were as surging as the waves on the sea. Countless people holding their sickles were like brave warriors. Struggle with it and cut it off in bundles.

This year is a bumper year. The arable land that has doubled compared to last year has increased their labor volume, but no one complains about it. The entire Morande army, more than 7,000 people, participated in this nationwide action. among.

   In the past, even in the northern region where steel is rich, residents could only harvest with wooden or stone farm tools.

   However, this situation has immediately changed since Rainer became the new ruler of these realms.

   If a worker wants to do his things well, he must first sharpen his tools. Why doesn’t he understand? Production tools and weapons are equally important things. Therefore, after receiving a large amount of iron ore, Reiner immediately asked the former blacksmiths in the castle to build farm tools and sold them to the residents at low prices.

   This is not a loss-making business. On the contrary, a small amount of steel can increase the productivity of the territory. Reiner likes this kind of business very much.

   Standing on the arrow tower of the castle, looking at the whole hot territory, Rainer was in a very good mood, very, very good.

A good harvest will allow a lord’s strength to expand rapidly. This principle becomes especially obvious in this farming society that lacks food and clothing. If such a large amount of food is eaten by these residents of Morland County, it can last three years. time.

   Grain represents wealth and power in a farming era, and there is a sufficient population. There is no doubt that there is so much food that Lenner is more confident than having more gold coins.

   Seeing countless busy residents busy in the fields like worker ants one by one, Rainer's heart also floated outside.

   "Hurry up on Klim! I have already collected so much, you are only that! Fortunately, you are still a militia under the command of Lord Baron! Why are you not as fast as us ordinary people?"

   A small self-cultivator smiled and said to Klim that he still had countless sheaves of wheat piled together in his body, and his movements did not stop for a moment.

   "Damn it! If it wasn't for me that I was injured in the previous battle, it was your turn to be so arrogant?" Klim yelled angrily. As a militiaman, he received a lot of rewards in the previous wars.

   Linlin finally managed to reach three silver coins, and Rainer also rewarded them for their merits, and gave Klim 50 acres of arable land, which is the best reward for a self-employed farmer.

   "Cut! I was still injured in the last battle? What should I say, if it weren't for my size to be unable to join the army, I would have beaten the enemy in the battlefield!"

   "Fart on you! Damn short! If you go on, I promise to beat you up!"

   Klim's loud voice sounded from this land, completely overwhelming the rustling of wheat.

  Sir Cod and Lombard stood beside Rainer with a smile and looked at the busy crowd below with joy, their beloved also got a good harvest, and their income has become more.

   "My Lord Baron! It seems that this year is a rich year!"

  Sir Cod became kind at this moment, and the old knight who was killing people on the battlefield at this moment turned out to be as amiable as the old man next door.

"Yeah! Our plan to recruit refugees should probably begin!" Rainer felt that the population in his territory was still not large enough. Influenced by the thoughts of the celestial dynasty in the previous life, he always felt that the population in his territory was still too small, even if he did so. Shi is already the most populous lord in the north besides Earl Zhebo.

  Population, Leyner will always dislike being small and not too much, saying that technology is the primary productive force, but Leyner believes that population is the real primary productive force in this era.

  If he has a population of two million, he needs no more to say, he has the confidence to unify the empire within ten years. There is no way, the power of the population is so huge.

"But Earl Jebo in the south is a huge obstacle, right? I think it is impossible for slave merchants to bring a large number of people across the blockade of Earl Jebo to come to our territory!" Sir Varas is still very practical, he directly Pour a scoop of cold water on Lena.

  Leiner didn't continue to say, he didn't want to spoil his good mood for the time being, it was a good choice to appreciate the beauty of the harvest.

Countless steel ingots were moved out of the warehouse by the Klads slaves and stacked on carriages. The skinny Klads have been very laborious to do this work. The removal project has been going on for nearly ten days. This is about to complete.

   Rainer, the miser, also deducted three gold coins from Sir Horn’s labor costs. Naturally, these money had nothing to do with the slaves~lightnovelpub.net~ and all went into Rainer's pocket.

   Tired of seeing the harvest outside, Rainer returned to his study and prepared to hold a small meeting. The theme of the meeting was how to deal with the two captured lords and how to break the blockade of Earl Zerbo.

  Liner’s study has only a small window connected to the outside for ventilation, and all lighting depends on the oil lamp in the room.

  Liner is not a frugal person, but he never wants to spend money without the necessary, which also caused his study to look a little dark.

   Under the shining of the oil lamp, everyone present was dazzled flickering and dimming.

  Sir Walas, Sir Cod, Sir Logan, Sir Leyland and Lena constitute the most basic core of his rule.

Sir Walas’ pride and aggressiveness and offensive ability, Sir Logan’s viciousness and viciousness, Sir Leiland’s commanding ability and political vision, and Sir Cod’s veteran and steady state, Leiner has just been in the high position for less than a year. , The rookie lord who is lacking in all aspects is very dependent on it.

   "For the two captured lords, what do you think I should deal with?" Rainer's words were very straightforward and straight to the point.

   Four of the five people are all heroes exchanged in the system. The only native is Sir Cod, and he is also Rainer's uncle, so he doesn't need to be too polite.

   Everyone looked at each other and didn't immediately speak.
