The caster team took Garon and Blackia away, and on the other side, as the riverside woodlands of the Northlands were gradually cleared, the day for farming was getting closer.

The continuous expansion and integration of the territory is imperative, Caesar is no longer satisfied with the single way of relying on pasture farming to meet the food supply, providing a stable supply of cultivation and production is a top priority, although so far, the black dragon has not received such a highly talented family as the Minotaur, but the more comprehensive human ability can also fill this gap.

Under the instructions of the Black Dragon Emperor, many prisoners of war and slaves were brought out of the dungeon and arranged for planting.

The vast vegetation was zoned on both sides of the Rushing River, which runs through the Northlands, and in order to make it easier for slaves to travel quickly between the banks of the River, Caesar ordered two arched bridges to be erected over the river, which was not difficult with the strong assistance of the caster.

The structure of the arch bridge was simple, as long as enough stone was prepared and the caster was responsible for shaping it, and only then could Caesar feel the power of magic compared to purely physical power, and its scope of application was incomparably inclusive, pervading and dominating every realm of Elradia.

In this world, the imprint of magic can be seen in many inconspicuous things.

In addition to the very high service life of these arch bridges, which can easily last for thousands of years without being subjected to strong corrosion or malicious damage, carpenters also built rafts that were fastened to the stakes on both sides of the bank with reins for quick passage in case of emergency.

In the western part of the Terrhine, the first land was cultivated here, and now entire shanties and wooden houses have been erected around it, which is the temporary residence of slaves and blackshirts, who worked hard for the opportunity to be free, and the blackshirts were in charge of overseeing and controlling them.

The Black Dragon Emperor could see across the sky that the wheat seeds had already been planted.

Prior to this, the nobles of the Northland had not cultivated crops on a large scale and on a large scale, and grain was a large import item in the Northland, which was unacceptable to Caesar, and his team of spellcasters had been ordered a long time ago, and some of them began to rely exclusively on magic to generate and accumulate wheat seeds.

Now that the land, the population, the seeds, and the overseers were ready, Caesar could no longer focus on the matter, but he had to add one last link: the person in charge.

To that end, he recruited Hogg, the clan leader who had recently become busy again.

"After such a long time, you should have a certain understanding of the black shirts under you."

Caesar asked, "I need to form a new department in the royal court, together with the boar people, to take charge of the new national issues, and you will be responsible for providing manpower, and the race must be human." ”

"Your Majesty, this ...... It's hard, I'm afraid. What the black dragon didn't expect was that Hogg seemed to be a little embarrassed.

In the past, I always agreed to it, and then spared no effort to solve the problem, but this time, why did I show my timidity? Caesar slandered, but on the surface he was indifferent: "The number of black shirts belonging to the royal court is not small, what?" Having trouble with the candidates? ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Hogg said frankly: "These humans are stupid and cruel, unresponsive, procrastinating and lazy, and there are not many humans who know how to write, and as supervisors, they are not qualified at all. ”

These inferior adjectives, which had always been a template for the gnolls, were now applied to humans by the gnoll leaders, making Caesar feel strange and funny.

Of course, humans are not as useless as Hogg suggests, and although most of those who submit to the Blackwing Court are greedy, stingy, and weakling, they can always pick out some relatively good ones from the huge population base.

In this respect, Caesar was far less nervous than when he was with Luna, and the black dragon at this time was much more delicate, and he could feel Hogg's mood changes.

As a multi-racial mixed empire, the integration of the Blackwing Empire will inevitably be resisted by many people, not only the humans who are passive parties cannot accept it, but even the monsters of the Blackwing Clan are equally unwilling.

Previously, the core of power in the Blackwing Lair was the clan leader, and now that Caesar had handed over the propaganda department to the bard, and the newly created department was to be handed over to the humans, Hogg was indeed loyal, but it was also a gnoll, and the xenophobic nature of the monsters made it resistant to it.

However, this aspect really has to be left to humans, the Blackwing Clan is good at warfare, and all of them are weapons, but there is no doubt about the excellence of humans in some complex work, which even Caesar's rather important boar people cannot match.

"I'll hand over the black shirt to you, and it's your business to provide personnel."

The black dragon entrenched on the throne, his vertical and slitted eyes moved slightly at an extremely slow speed: "If there is no candidate, go and arrest it, but no matter what, a new department must be established." ”

"I do as you command, Your Majesty." Hogg had never resisted the black dragon, and this time it was the same, albeit with some reluctance.

Caesar continued: "This department is called the Logistics Department, and it is mainly responsible for controlling the cultivation and production of grain in the territory and coordinating the distribution. The grazing and breeding that was previously carried out by wild boar people and manticore lions will also be incorporated into this department. ”

Hogg was stunned when he heard this.

Not to mention the gnolls, even humans with a certain amount of knowledge can't understand this, and in Eladia, this is the first time I've heard that the lord has to take care of even farming.

"May I remind you, Your Majesty."

The sparse brown mane around the gnoll's neck trembled slightly, and Hogg smacked his lips and said, "In the human world, this kind of thing is generally carried out by the serfs themselves, and how the slaves produce has nothing to do with the lord, as a ruler, you only need to collect their harvest regularly." ”

The black dragon shook his head and muttered, "Because of this, whether it is the Northland countries or other countries, the production efficiency of food is so low. ”

What a backward, terrible system, Caesar thought. Under such a system, the amount of seizure depended on the mood of the lord, which greatly dampened the enthusiasm of the serfs for production, and unless the goddess favored it, there could be no good harvest.

Of course, Caesar was also well aware that this system was actually very suitable for Eladia's own rules and level of development, and in the context of the era of the barbarian civilization of the pyramids, the exploitation of the people at the bottom by the rulers was almost bottomless, and they did not consider or hope that the people at the bottom could live a good life.

The epic stories tell the rulers that once they are well fed and clothed, they tend to think more, and they begin to think about wealth, freedom, dignity, and so on, which causes chaos and turmoil in their territories, and the rulers hate them.

Therefore, they are reluctant to make any changes, even if they have a more mature and excellent system, and they are not willing to implement it, because it will affect the dominance of the upper echelons, compared to the time-tested old system is the best means of governance.

The level of production cannot be improved, and the people at the bottom cannot even solve the problem of food and clothing, so they naturally have no ability to cause turmoil, but they will be grateful for some small favors, which is conducive to the stable nature of the upper class of the pyramid.

This was the case with Eladia, and it stands to reason that Caesar, as the ruler, should also play according to this rule.

But he didn't want to.

The Black Dragon of the Otherworld has a vision pattern different from this world, he is not confined to such a rule, and oppressing the poor and backward human beings all day long does not bring satisfaction and superiority to the Black Dragon, on the contrary, he regards the Black Wing Empire as a whole and his own foundation, and in the case of a potentially powerful enemy, he pursues the rapid development of comprehensive national strength.
