Chapter Ninety-Three: Development

After the establishment of the sheriff's office, on the first day, a few drunken mercenaries were caught making trouble in the streets, and then they were thrown directly into prison by the security forces, and when they sobered up, they all swept the streets in shackles or went to work as coolies.

With the existence of the Sheriff's Office, the security in the territory has suddenly become much better.

During this time, as Su Lun deliberately publicized in the Northland provinces, many civilians who wanted to obtain land knew about the place of Zhenbei Fort, but because of the distance, even if they wanted to come here, they could not pass through the wasteland, unless someone escorted them along the way.

In order to attract the population, Suren made an agreement with the caravans who came here to trade, and asked the caravans to bring civilians who were willing to come here every time they came, of course, in order to make the caravans do their best, he specially required that only civilians with more than fifty people could be eligible to participate in the sugar trade.

Of course, this would definitely make the Chamber of Commerce unhappy, so Suren also gave compensation, and each person brought by the caravan would receive a Jinnar reward. Anyway, it doesn't cost much to take those civilians on a trip, except for being responsible for some security issues, they take care of their own food and lodging, and they can also pick up spears to help resist monster attacks.

After considering it, the Chamber of Commerce agreed, and from the second month onwards, the population of the territory finally began to grow slowly. The local lords didn't care much about the loss of these civilian populations, after all, they were all landless displaced people, leaving them behind, and the cities could not provide enough jobs, and these people had to steal chickens and dogs in order to survive.

Or go to work as a mercenary, to be honest, the reputation of the mercenary industry is not good, and many mercenaries also work part-time as robbers in the wild. There are even mercenaries who will attack customers directly, and they will change places after doing a vote, so generally caravans will have their own guards, and then hire some mercenaries.

So for the departure of the homeless, those lords not only will not stop it, but will also clap their hands to welcome, after these homeless people come to Sulun's territory, it can be said that they are destitute, Suren will not be kind enough to directly distribute their land, in the previous life there was a saying called Shengmien, fighting rice hatred.

If they were to be given land, houses, and food directly, it would be estimated that these people would take these things as they deserved, and once Suren stopped helping them, they would even feel that Suren owed them.

So Su Lun didn't intend to do this at all, from the very beginning he was ready to use the method of cash for work to settle these people, anyway, there are many people who need to work in the territory, so he doesn't have to worry that these people can't be arranged.

Let these people work, and then Suren will pay them wages, and the house in the territory can also be rented for them, of course, you need to pay rent, this rent will not be very high, but it must be, you will take care of two meals when you go out to work, in this era, in addition to the nobles, the commoners will also have two meals a day.

The territory does not raise idlers, and the civilians who come here with the caravan are mixed, some are safe and self-contained, and some are idle, stealing and playing tricks and don't want to contribute, for these people there is no need for Su Lun to do anything, and they are directly thrown to those kobold or jackal overseers, and these overseers will educate them well.

These people work in the territory for three months before they are eligible to buy houses and land, or to reclaim wasteland. The reclamation of wasteland here needs to be reported in advance, as long as you pay a kinnar, you can get the right to reclaim ten acres of wasteland, the ten acres of land will have a three-year tax exemption period, after three years the tax will return to normal, the house can be rented, and the money can also be bought.

Therefore, as long as you work hard in Suren's territory, then you will live, and it will get better and better, and these people who live at the bottom are more likely to work hard but can't even get enough food and clothing.

With the replenishment of the population, the territory has become more and more vibrant, and in addition to sugar, the rum in the territory of Suren has also begun to be sold to the outside world, this refreshing and sweet rum has become very popular as soon as it appears, so several chambers of commerce are fighting for the share of rum sales.

Because rum is made of waste honey, the cost price is not high, Su Lun in order to sell a high price, for the high-end rum for a new packaging, because of the growth of the territory population, Su Lun set up a glass factory by the Hongsha River, with river sand calcined glass, originally he was worried that the quality of the calcined glass is not good, but he didn't expect Hathaway to be very good at firing glass.

Thinking about it, as an intermediate alchemist, making glass is not too easy for them, and with Hathaway's guidance, Suren's glass factory has successfully produced qualified glass.

After packaging, the price of rum naturally increased, but rum is not as irreplaceable as sugar, so Su Lun still paid a lot of price if he wanted to get those chambers of commerce to help sell it. However, all this effort paid off, and soon the rum would become another important source of revenue for the territory.

The glass factory was handed over to Chrissy for management, and Suren found an interesting thing, Chrissy was actually a management genius, as long as there were no mistakes in the things she managed, so Suren planned to learn management from Chriss, but after seeing Chrissy's management methods, he gave up directly, no way, this is a matter of talent.

As long as Chrissy uses her high-level charm, basically everyone becomes her dog, and those people are simply as hard and diligent as chickens, if Su Lun's heart is a little darker, he doesn't even have to pay for it.

After seeing Chrissy's management style, Su Lun gave up directly, and he couldn't learn the talent advantage unless he was willing to wear women's clothes, and then engage in a high-level charm talent.

Hathaway has been nesting in the laboratory all this time, and even the firing glass has only appeared for a short time, and she is now completely for refining the Awakening Potion.

Su Lun asked her to refine those magic items, and she didn't do any of them, but fortunately, the awakening potion was finally completed.

The Awakening Elixir is contained in a magic crystal bottle, which is specially designed to preserve high-grade potions, and as long as the cork is not opened, the magic medicine machine inside can be perfectly preserved for about five hundred years. The color of the Awakening Elixir is a blue-purple translucent liquid, and the inside is like a starry sky at night, constantly flashing with spiritual light, which looks very beautiful, and the properties of this potion are also very powerful.

[Awakening Elixir: A magical potion carefully refined using the leaves of the Tree of Wisdom as the main material, after use, the mental power +4, the elemental affinity ability +2, and the mana recovery effect is permanently increased by 30%. Side effects: None]

This thing is completely for wizards, and it can even change the physique of an ordinary person and allow ordinary people to learn magic.
