In this era, the cost of raising a person is not high, as long as accommodation and food are provided, and some instructor training is arranged. In Suren's plan, these children will be tested after a certain period of time.

At the same time, there will be people who will teach them culture, and when they grow up, they will be trained according to their qualifications, and in Sulun's plan, most of them will become soldiers or grassroots managers of Sulun's industry, or even grassroots personnel in the city.

Of course, before giving them all kinds of education, they also need to test their loyalty, which needs to be firm and systematic in Su Lun personally, and those spies or ulterior motives will find out as soon as possible.

If the development of Zhenbei City is getting better and better, then it is inevitable that there will be many people who want to reach out, and Su Lun does not want the territory he has spent a lot of energy to build to be shared by others. The fact that he deliberately built the territory far away also had this factor.

Sulun's planned outer city has a total of six vertical streets, which crisscross and divide the city into blocks, and the whole city looks orderly.

After the construction of the residential fang, Suren instructed the slaves to build a road with a width of six meters in the outer city, which was also suitable for camel beasts to repeatedly crush the porcelain, and then pave it with a layer of stone slabs. Sewer drains have also been built on both sides of the road, and other supporting public toilets and public baths have also been built.

At the same time, the city's water supply network needs to be laid, and these water pipes will be installed throughout the city in the future. In addition to these, a trading area was also built, as the northern fort of Zhenbei produced sugar and rum, as well as a large amount of furs, and the number of caravans that came to trade gradually increased.

Before the heavy snow closed the road last year, a total of twelve trading caravans came to the north of the town in the last month, although it was not as good as the city of Carthus, but it was already very good for a new city that had just been built. Commercial activities bring not only money, but also various goods that are urgently needed in the territory.

Zhenbei City does not produce cloth, does not produce salt, and many materials need to be brought by caravans, and the trade market in the inner city has been revoked before upgrading Zhenbei City, and now he needs to complete the construction of the trade market after the ice and snow melt before spring comes.

Part of the trade market in the inner city was converted into a training ground, and the other part was converted into a stable.

After establishing trade with Zhenbei City, those chambers of commerce proposed to establish a branch in Zhenbei City several times, but they did not agree to establish a branch because they were not sure whether Sulun's territory could be defended in the end. After this upgrade to Zhenbei City, after seeing the development of Sulun's territory, those merchants will definitely establish a branch here, but the relationship between the two sides will change at that time.

Suren was going to build some houses and warehouses in the trade area, and when the time came, he would rent these places to those chambers of commerce.

The barracks of the realm will also need to be relocated from the inner city and re-established in the outer city, and the barracks in the inner city will be used as the garrison of the lord's guard.

In addition to these, some shops along the street will also be built in a hurry, after all, trade occupies a very important part of the town north of Sulun's planning.

Taverns, inns, blacksmiths, grocery stores, and other shops are all available, and for the mercenaries of this world, the tavern is their favorite place besides the women's branch. Of course, Suren built the tavern with the intention of attracting more wandering heroes and gathering intelligence.

In the territory, Su Lun deliberately set aside a piece of land, preparing to build a martial arts arena, which is specially used to solve personal grievances, after all, it is forbidden to fight in the north of the town, and anyone who violates it will be severely punished, but it is not a way to suppress the contradiction all the time, so Su Lun deliberately set aside a martial arts arena for them to solve by themselves.

The construction of the martial arts arena is very simple, with an open space in the middle, and suren has specially arranged audience seats around it. Buy tickets when the two sides are about to fight, such a large venue, it's not okay for them to use it for nothing.

Moreover, the martial arts arena can also be upgraded into a spectacle building, a large gladiatorial arena. The arena was built very quickly, with a camel beast leveling the land and then surrounding it with bricks and stones to form a circular stand, which was arranged in order from low to high. The entire arena was built by combining the ancient Roman Colosseum and the modern sports arena.

It's just that the scale has shrunk several times, and compared with the gladiatorial arena that can accommodate tens of thousands of people, this martial arts arena can only accommodate more than 2,000 people. Of course, small also has small benefits, and the difficulty of building such a martial arts arena has also been reduced a lot, and it took a week to complete the construction with the construction of two thousand slaves.

[Martial arts arena: A ring used to settle personal grievances, and it is also a place for martial arts performances, where blood and glory are more likely to inspire people's bravery. City Prosperity +3, Security +10, Martial Spirit +10】

After Su Lun saw the attributes of the martial arts arena, he was also a little surprised, this martial arts arena built to maintain law and order could actually improve the martial spirit.

Located in the northern wasteland, if there is no martial spirit, sooner or later it will be wiped out by the other tribes around it, Suren suddenly became interested in the spectacle of building the Colosseum.

With the establishment of the development town of Beicheng, Suren found that his generals had been faintly divided into several factions, among which the highest status was Chris and Hathaway, as Suren's closest people, they could often represent Suren's will.

Chris holds the administrative power of the territory, Hathaway has a lot of extraordinary equipment, and Chris's own strength is also the strongest except for Suren, her natural skill charm is too strong, those barbarians and drow elves can't bear it, only Johnson, Karina and a few others can resist.

In second place are Johnson and Boulder, their entire Barbarian Guard being the strongest army under Suren. However, after the Drow Elves joined, Suren used the Drow Elves to form some armies, and now the strength of the Drow Elves is also good, but compared to the barbarians, it is very difficult for them to develop and grow, who made the Elves notoriously low fertility rate and long growth period.

And the Drow Elves are now faintly divided into two factions, one of which is led by Karina, and the other is led by Ayton, as the first Drow Elf to be loyal to Suren, Suren still gave him a lot of power.

At the same time, because of the factor of female respect, the Drow Elves have always looked down on the male Drow Elves, which exacerbated the contradictions within the Drow Elves, Suren did not regulate the contradictions between the two sides, and the contradictions within the Drow Elves did not affect the development of the territory, and they were still under control.

Because of internal conflicts, this also allowed Suren to better control this drow elf tribe.

The added faction is made up of humans, including several humans, including Harrison, and this faction is scattered and weak, but they are the most numerous.

However, the potential of human beings is huge, after all, the largest population in Zhenbei City is humans, and when the ice and snow melt and Zhenbei City continues to develop, the number of human beings will be more, and the huge base is placed there, or it won't be long before they can catch up, and it is estimated that the barbarian faction will have to join forces with the Drow Elf faction to resist the pressure of the human faction.

Su Lun is not worried about this, as a human being, he understands the temperament of human beings too well, even if the strength of the human faction becomes stronger in Zhenbei Fort later, it will definitely be divided into a larger number of factions within it. At present, these factions under Su Lun are only a prototype, and even in the future, it will not affect Su Lun's control of the territory.

......

"Your Excellency, Lord!" all the soldiers and generals bowed their heads in respect as Suren walked over.

Su Lun glanced at everyone, and then said: "The militia system in the territory is retained, and all militias need to spare five days a month for military training, and the best of them can be selected to join the army. ”

"Jean, after the snow melts, continue to buy slaves from Carthusian City and surrounding cities, and at the same time recruit to build good relations with the lords of various places, give them money, and then recruit more outcasts. ”

"Yes, Your Excellency. Jean said respectfully.

"Marnes, the caravan coming for trade is coming, you keep an eye on me, I don't want to hear anyone evade taxes!"

"Please rest assured, I will keep an eye on them, and I will never let them pay less than a copper coin. Marnes patted his chest and promised.

"Harrison, cheer up your vigilantes, I don't want anyone to make trouble in my territory. ”

"Your Excellency, I will personally lead the patrol. Harrison said in a sonorous tone.

"In the future, a meeting will be held every ten days to summarize the problems you have encountered, and at the same time report all the work. Suren said.

When everyone heard this, their hearts were awe-struck, and they all nodded yes.

When the meeting ended, Suren turned and went out.

"Collar... Lord Lord!" a guard hurriedly ran in and said breathlessly, "The sentry has a message that there are many half-elves approaching!"

"Half-elf?" a look of surprise flashed in Su Lun's eyes, "Go over and take a look." ”

At the same time, the system chime was remembered in his ears.

"Congratulations host, the recruitment order is in effect, and a tribe of half-elves wants to join your territory. ”

Su Lun was overjoyed in his heart, he didn't expect that this system's recruitment order was so powerful, and he actually recruited a half-elf tribe. There are quite a few half-elves in this world, of course, they can't be compared with humans, this race is rich in archers, and so far, many half-elves still survive in tribal form. They have always been vassals of the elves.

Riding on Masuren, he rushed out of the city gate, and then rushed towards the location of the half-elves, and soon he saw a group of half-elves on the border of the territory.
