Chapter 313: A New Look for North County
Malone patted its long face with his hand, and the pangolin's relatively small eyes almost narrowed into a slit, and it seemed to be very happy.
This big guy who was inadvertently transformed by a wizard with some kind of hand cut off makes a living digging all day long, and digging is its only pleasure.
Now it seems that there is one more thing, that is, to please the master!
After appeasing the believers recruited by his first Divine Persuasion, Marlon followed Green around other places, such as the smelting place and the musket and artillery forge factory......
Out of the underground space, spend the night in Ginkgo Village.
The next day, accompanied by the swaying branches and leaves of the ginkgo tree, the great sage sent Marlon out of the village.
With a small team of knights, he staggered all the way back to Blackstone City, and the time was already May.
The carriage drove all the way into the castle, and the family came out to greet them.
While enjoying the warmth of the family, Ma Long was inevitably complained by his mother.
"I don't know if I'm coming back for the New Year, last year, and this year!" Her dissatisfaction was almost written on her face.
After Marlon repeatedly assured, he was reluctantly let go.
Seeing his aggrieved appearance, it provoked Illya to laugh gloatingly.
After Malone glared at her, he finally restrained himself and comforted his mother with him.
Perhaps it was an emotional outburst, and Rayla burst into tears as she spoke, which kept the family busy......
The next day, Marlon invited all relatives, friends, officials from all walks of life, and in short, acquaintances who could come to the castle and held a banquet.
It is not only to celebrate that his trip went well, but also to announce his safe return, and at the same time to connect with feelings.
The banquet was attended by foreign people such as elven princes and dwarven representatives in Black Rock City, and the atmosphere was harmonious......
In the days that followed, Malone began to deal with the affairs that had left him behind in his absence.
While most of them were solved by his subordinates, and the really urgent issues were handled remotely through the magic letters, there were some things that he had to know the details when he returned, and then review them himself.
It's not the first time for Ma Long in this regard, he is still very experienced, and he is easy, and the affairs that have accumulated in the past half a year have been dealt with in less than half a month.
After spending some time with his family at the castle and getting tired of Illya, Marlon embarked on a journey south.
He wants to see with his own eyes how the newly received population and land arrangements are going.
During this period, he will be accompanied by Malf.
Compared to his return this time, the momentum is much higher.
The knights who escorted the guards alone had two brigades and a bunch of miscellaneous staff members accompanying them.
In June in North County, the wheat in the village has already broken through the soil, and it looks green and vibrant.
Farmers in the fields are busy at work, some are removing weeds, others are tamping ditches.
Although the farm work is arduous and tiring, these laborers are willing, with joyful smiles on their faces and hopes in their eyes.
"These peasants were originally hired farmers of the local aristocracy, and when we took them over, they heard that there were only five tiers of taxes, and they all burst out with great enthusiasm."
Along the way, Malf was briefing Malone on the year's work: "Especially after the last winter wheat harvest, we experienced a bumper harvest after using new seeds and organic fertilizer, and we only collected 50% of the rent according to our words, and the enthusiasm of these people was fully mobilized."
"Last year, some of the new seeds and fertilizers were still mandatory, but this year, before the planting time, many people took the initiative to come to our office to ask about related matters.
"After learning that organic fertilizer is not enough, I am willing to use manure directly under the guidance of our technicians......"
"Wait." Ma Long interrupted: "How can there not be enough fertilizer, haven't you been prepared for a long time?" ”
Malf smiled helplessly: "Yes, I am prepared, but how big is the entire North County, I didn't measure it step by step in person, it turned out that it was not clear at all, our reserves were exhausted in the last season, and this season was not well prepared, it was really too much of a sudden increase!" ”
Ma Long also suddenly felt in his heart, and he didn't have the ability to make something out of nothing, so he had to say: "Take your time, I'd rather walk slowly and steadfastly, than think about climbing to the sky in one step." ”
Malf nodded, "That's what we planned. ”
As the inspection progressed, Malone learned more and more about the newly accepted North County.
On the whole, the situation is still good, especially the people's mental outlook, which looks very good, and the enthusiasm for work is also high.
It's just that there is still a gap in all aspects, materials, population, everything, such a large area, many places are left in a wasteland.
And it's not realistic to want to move people from around Blackstone.
I have only heard of the migration of people from the countryside to the cities, but I have not heard of anyone who has migrated the urban population to the countryside.
People yearn for beauty and always look forward to a better and better life.
Marlon traveled with Malf to many places, and the people everywhere welcomed the arrival of the lord with great enthusiasm, and each time it caused warm cheers.
I've long heard that life is good in the Blackstone Territory, and they've fantasized more than once about becoming Marlon's people.
Now it has finally become a reality, and the lord has not lived up to the expectations of himself and others, fifty percent of the tax and new farming methods, just one season down, no longer hungry.
The whole of North County, these farmers who dig in the dirt, are truly wholeheartedly welcoming Marlon's rule!
Arriving at another place, after being warmly welcomed by the locals, Malf led Mallon to the outside of the settlement.
Standing on the top of a hill, he said: "This is mostly mountainous, and the grain production is not very ideal.
"So our plan is to plant fruit trees, bread trees, apples, oranges, pears and other fruits.
"Researchers have improved the breed to survive in these places. In the future planning here, the mountain will be farmland, and the mountain will be densely packed with fruit forests.
"But these are the future scenes, and there will be no way to see them in three or five years!" Malf's tone was a little emotional.
"Good work!" Ma Long looked at this playmate who grew up together, he had tanned a lot during this time, and he had lost weight, but the ability he showed made him feel frightened.
Looking at him now, who would have imagined that he still had the title of coward?
"Just take your time. Don't worry, compared to other entrepreneurs, we are still young, and we have time to watch it grow! ”
The two stood on top of the highest mountain nearby, looking down at everything below.
Some future development plans were discussed, and it was not until dark that they returned to the station, a castle left over from a former aristocracy.
