It was not easy to settle a thousand people, and Duran chose a leader among the thousand people who had emigrated from the Sixth Private Plane, and it took him a long time to settle these people around the castle.

After the miniature castle was formed, it covered a very large area, but it had nothing of its own except the necessary buildings. Thankfully, Six delivered enough food to allow Duran to survive the initial ordeal. The three lair races are at peace with each other, but that doesn't mean they can avoid conflict with ordinary humans, Duran thought about it and settled the new thousand human inhabitants in the southeast of the castle, while the dwarfs, jungle fairies, and underworld people live in the outer city to the northwest. As for the four silver mercenaries, Duran let them temporarily take charge of the defense of the castle, although the plane is still new, there are no monsters or anything like that threatens the survival of the inhabitants of this place. But it won't be long before the nascent planes will spawn beasts, birds, and even more terrifying monsters under the influence of the forces of Chaos.

With such a large area of Castle of Dawn and only four mercenaries as a temporary escort, it is conceivable that it will not be enough in the future. It's just that Duran checked a little and found that although the thousand people gifted to him by No. 6 were all healthy young people, they had no talent for witchcraft or martial arts, and could only engage in agriculture, handicrafts, light industry, and commerce, which required less physical fitness, and they did not have any ability to protect themselves at all.

From this point, it can also be seen that the scarcity of combat professionals has a surname, for ordinary people, the sixth can be very generous and directly send a thousand; But if you have the ability to fight, even if it is a warrior of the gray iron rank, No. 6 has not given away one, which shows its precious surname.

Duran had no choice but to let the underworld join the castle guards. Fortunately, although the appearance of the underworld is a little different from that of ordinary humans, they are still a branch of the human race, and they can also use the lingua franca, although letting them be members of the castle guard will not cause too much panic among the residents of the city.

At present, Duran has appointed the leader of the underworld, Eevee, as the captain of the Castle of Dawn Guard, and the silver mercenary Una is the vice-captain, and this woman's combat ability should be the highest in the silver realm, because she is a silver wizard specializing in the field of plastic energy. The rest of the Underworld also joined the Guardian Team, and their mission was to patrol and secure the castle's surroundings. Occasionally, when you have free time, it doesn't hurt to go hunting in the forests to the east.

After the emigration was complete, the silver portal also closed. Duran noticed that while most people had a flash of sadness on their faces when they saw the portal close, they quickly threw themselves into their enthusiasm for building a new home. They were quickly settled under the leadership of the chief, Harvin and his wife. As they crossed the plane, they carried not only the grain, but also the precious seeds of Super Wheat, the unique crop of Private Plane Six.

"Your Majesty, the land of your Dawn Plane is very fertile and suitable for growing this super wheat." After Harvin had settled most of the people, he found Duran with the seeds of Super Wheat. They became Duran's subjects, which meant being at Duran's behest. Castle of Dawn and even the Plane of Dawn are Duran's personal property, and they must consult Duran for whatever they do.

Before that, Harvin had already led his people to store most of the grain in the granary of Dawn Castle, and returned the key to the granary to Duran as a sign of loyalty.

"Super wheat has a similar planting cycle as regular wheat, but the yield is about three times that of ordinary wheat. Most of the people who migrated this time were farming for a living, just like me, and a few were craftsmen. Your lord, your plane is in ruins, and growing food is the first priority, and I would like to ask you for permission to lease a certain amount of land around the castle as farmland for us to plant. ”

Harvin respectfully handed the planting in his hand to Duran.

Duran took it and looked at it, and found that the super wheat seed in Havin's mouth was engraved with faint silver runes, and he could feel a hint of magic from it.

"What kind of rune is this?" Duran asked.

Haven shook his head blankly.

Duran knew that he had asked in vain, the thousand people in front of him, including the leader of Havin, were all farmers with little knowledge, how could they understand such a magical thing as runes?

So he asked, "So, how many more seeds do you have for this super wheat?" Can this seed be obtained from a mature superwheat strain? ”

Haven shook his head and said, "The seeds of Super Wheat are magical crops developed by the Magic Department of Lord No. 6 and Magic Tower No. 7, and they themselves cannot be obtained from mature bodies. When super wheat grows, it can only produce seeds of ordinary wheat, not this seed. We all bought it from the market in Magic Tower No. 7, and to be honest, many families went bankrupt to buy these seeds. However, at this level, the previous currency is useless, and it is worth it to exchange it for this seed. ”

"I estimated that about every household has purchased super wheat seeds more or less, and each household counts as 200 seeds, and at least 100,000 super wheat seeds can be used for a long, long time." Harvin explains.

Duran nodded, and he contacted the Aurora, asking her to use the Tower of Aurora's abilities to create a rough map of the castle's surroundings.

He looked at the map for a moment, then officially designated a small area north of the river to the south as an agricultural area. According to the information from the Dawning Emissary, the land was fertile and suitable for growing wheat.

Of course, as a lord, Duran would not be merciful enough to let these people plant on their own land for nothing. He used his knowledge from his previous life to formulate some simple tax laws that were promulgated as the initial tax basis for Castle of Dawn. This tax law is very simple, there are only eighteen articles, basically Duran came up with a slap on the brain, he was also familiar with taxation in his previous life, and in the current situation of waste to be rebuilt, too heavy a tax burden is completely unnecessary......

This tax law is mainly aimed at agriculture, after all, there are very few craftsmen in the castle of dawn other than the dwarfs in the cave of Hewen, and everything is still in its infancy. The tax rate set by Duran is not high, the ratio of almost eleven is much lower than the sixty-one tax prevailing on the private plane of No. 6; But tax evasion is very strict, and at least half of the 18 articles deal with this.

"If you don't kill this crooked spirit at the beginning, you will be able to pay it back later?" Duran's idea is also very simple, he is not a big philanthropist, the Dawning Plane was bought by him for a scroll of immeasurable value, this is his private property, it is impossible to waste it at will, it must be managed well, at least the cost must be recovered.

When all this was done, Harvin and his wife went away gratefully. Although the conditions of the Dawning Plane are a little behind, the lord seems to be better at talking, especially in terms of agricultural planting, Duran implemented a policy of halving the land rent in the first year on top of the originally low rent to encourage people to plant, which greatly stimulated the enthusiasm of these newly arrived humans.

As for the specific land lease plan, Haven will discuss it with the others and then ask Duran for approval in a few days.

……

After having dealt with Haven and most of the human inhabitants of the castle, Duran walked out of the empty lord's mansion a little tired. After the restoration of the miniature castle, it was divided into an inner city and an outer city. The first inhabitants of the castle were classified as freedmen by Duran, who were entitled to live outside the castle and to lease land for farming. Above the freemen were the citizens, and above the nobles were the nobles, and their rights were expanding step by step. Of course, this is only the basic structure, and the nobles of Dawn Castle are only Duran, and they can be regarded as powerful.

The outer city was mainly for freemen and citizens, while the inner city was the residence of the aristocracy. As for Duran himself, there is a castle with reading power in the inner city, and there is a lord's mansion in the outer city for office. He walked out of the mansion and came to the northwest city to find the dwarf in the cave of Hewen. These dwarves are shorter than all the dwarves in the history of the Fernand Continent, but they are not inferior to the Blue Mountain Dwarves and Greystone Dwarves in finding ore veins and forging weapons.

The leader of the dwarfs is called the Brass Furnace, and his beard is a rare golden color. Duran allotted them a craftsman's workshop, which contained only a small amount of coal, no iron and no other ore, and had to start from scratch.

Fortunately, the dwarves have an undenied talent for crafting artifacts, and their ability to find ore from the mines is even more innate. While Duran was taking care of other things, the unstoppable copper furnace spent half a day running around the perimeter of Castle of Dawn with half of his men, and soon found an open-pit coal mine behind a small col in the west. And even more coincidentally, not far from this coal mine, they found traces of iron ore.

According to the copper furnace's speculation, there is a good possibility of a good vein underneath.

“…… So, I'd like to ask you to move this Hewen Crypt to the vicinity of the coal mine. We can build a camp there. The copper furnace said.

Duran asked with some surprise, "The nest can also be moved?" ”

The copper furnace held its head proudly, even though it was just up to Duran's waist when he did: "Of course an ordinary lair can't. But my lord, this lair of yours is derived from alchemy, and it is the power of runes, and of course it can be moved. ”

Duran thought about it for a moment and agreed to the copper furnace's request.

At the moment, following the instructions of the copper furnace, he turned the Hewen crypt back into the rune, but it looked a little darker. Then he followed the dwarfs to the open-pit coal mine ten miles to the west, and laid down the runes.

A brand new Hewen Crypt has been installed.

Duran also had a male mercenary surnamed Silver stationed here to protect the mining safety of the dwarves, after all, the only difference between these little guys and the dwarves on the Fernand Continent was that they themselves had almost no combat power to speak of.

……

After everything was put in place, Duran let out a long breath. The height of the Dawning Plane is currently the same as that of the Green Sea Wonderland, which means that the speed of time here has changed. The previous ten-to-one time flow with the Fernanda Continent will be gone, and it should be shortened to about three to one.

That is, one day in the Fernanda Continent, which is equivalent to three days here.

He quickly opened the evil contract, chose to open the portal, and slipped in.

The familiar scenery appeared before him again, and from time to time there were terrifying roars or the wails of people struggling in the empty fields.

Duran settled down, used the equal contract signed by the Elf King to contact Ned, and found that this guy was actually near him!

Duran frowned, and he walked forward about a few hundred meters when the little fat man suddenly appeared in front of him. As he appeared, he hid his cloak of invisibility.

"Ned? How did you end up here? "There's something strange about Duran.

"Of course I'm here!" The little fat man actually showed a puzzled look.

Duran was even more inexplicable: "Didn't I ask you to follow those two women?" ”

The little fat man pointed to the east and said, "I did follow them!" ”

Duran was stunned for a moment, and when he looked to the east, he saw two figures approaching this place quickly on horseback.

In a short time, Xena and Jane had already ridden in front of Duran, and Xena even waved her whip and yelled at Duran:

"Where did you hide Jane's Deep Sea Crown?" (To be continued.) )
