After inspecting the territory, Zhou Qingfeng rode back to the manor on the 'Swift Shadow'.

After the establishment of the 'Rich and Strong Collar', the 'Harmony Village' was reduced to a simple supply of raw materials. Healy moved all the managers and agencies to the 'Rich and Strong Leader'.

Originally, there were only more than three hundred people living in the territory manor, but now it has swelled to three thousand in one go. Roads and houses were being built everywhere in the manor, and there was no moment of peace.

Outside the estate, a clearing the size of half a football field has been opened up as a playground, and hundreds of homeless people are being trained in queues.

These are the 'Sanhe gods' who only want to do odd jobs, and they don't know how beautiful the world is without being whipped.

Todd led the orc guards in charge of the drill, and his fanged mouth swore angrily from time to time. Every time his roar sounded, the trained homeless people stood upright one by one, their chests puffed out.

Zhou Qingfeng rode past the playground and stared coldly at the crooked training queue.

Hands and feet, spinning from side to side, dizzy, the homeless people seem to be doing Brownian exercises, with no rules to speak of. When someone is watching, they move. When no one is watching, they are lazy.

"How many trainees are this?" Zhou Qingfeng asked Rubio, who was following him.

"It seems to be the thirteenth batch. These displaced people were eliminated from various places for retraining, and their quality was indeed not high. Rubio replied.

"Those with poor quality should not be included in the 'rich and strong collar'." Zhou Qingfeng is no longer short of manpower, "We must establish an 'exit mechanism' and don't let waste our food." ”

When establishing the 'Harmony Village' in the Black Forest, Zhou Qingfeng cleaned the leaders and backbones of the original human settlement. The residents of 'Harmony Village' all know that their master is a ruthless person.

But it is different to establish a 'rich and strong collar'.

Many homeless people heard that Lord Hugo was particularly benevolent and came here. They did have a full stomach when they came, but they did not expect that this lord had a unique method of squeezing labor.

"For those who are lazy and slippery, hopeless, send them all to the Black Forest to adventure."

With a wave of his hand, Zhou Qingfeng decided that the outcome of many displaced people was 'waste utilization' exile. In short, the displaced people should not be allowed to run around, lest they become a hidden danger to public security.

Rubio was well aware of his master's intentions. He rode a donkey into the playground and relayed Zhou Qingfeng's order to Todd.

The trained queue was immediately disbanded.

When the outcasts learned that they no longer had to go around, they shouted for joy and praised Master Hugo's kindness.

Rubio indifferently glanced at the giggling homeless people, and thought to himself: "Ignorant fellows, they don't know that the more comfortable they are under Master Hugo, the closer they are to death. ”

Crossing the playground, Zhou Qingfeng entered the core area of the manor. The road is lined with cleared farmland, and Erin teaches farmers how to drive their cattle and use metal plows.

In the past, Fabro did not pay attention to agriculture, and there were many vegetables and flowers in the huge territory, and the grain was purchased from Coldwind City. His farmers are still using wooden ploughs to plow the land.

After Zhou Qingfeng came, he immediately expanded the agricultural population in the territory, set up the way of collective farms, implemented the division of labor system, and rewarded those who were active in labor.

The large metal plough produced by the forge requires two large animals to pull it, and can plow five deep furrows at the same time, completely loosening and breaking the soil.

But efficient tools also need to be used efficiently.

After the establishment of the 'Rich and Strong Leader', the training work has not stopped. Thousands of people need to master new knowledge, even Zhou Qingfeng himself is no exception.

When it comes to training, the naturally charming Dryad has the best results. Displaced people who have received cohort training are taught by Erin and have the highest learning efficiency.

"How many big animals have we bought now?" Zhou Qingfeng asked Rubio.

"At present, there are more than 650 heads, including cows, horses, donkeys, mules and the like." For the estate family, Rubio is a treasure.

"Cattle are actually rare in the Northland, but there are more horses. In particular, the price of service horses is very cheap.

Our platinum coins are very well used in the market, and more and more people agree with them.

With a fleet of heavy-duty wagons, we can go to other cities in the Northland to procure, and the supply of goods is still relatively sufficient. ”

It is different from the cattle farming in Zhou Qingfeng's cognition. Wars are frequent in the Northland, and there are more horses than cattle.

Although the cost of raising a horse is several times that of a cow, horses are also more delicate than farming cattle. But horses also plow faster than oxen.

Horses can also be used for transportation and fighting, but not for cattle. So all over the Northland prefer to raise horses.

Aluminum alloys from the real world were used by Zhou Qingfeng to hedge shopping in large quantities, and these metal currencies continued to be promoted with the expansion of the 'Harmony Firm'.

Wizards were the first to identify 'Platinum Coins', which had weak magical properties, and used them for everyday transactions. This equates to a strong credit endorsement.

The introduction of a large amount of money has promoted commercial trade, after all, more and more money can be made. Merchants also naturally accepted the stamped 'fine white gold coins'.

Zhou Qingfeng's vision of the financial system is rapidly infiltrating the entire northland, and it is easier to conquer cities than to conquer them with swords.

From the powerful to the poor, all walks of life are actively and passively doing business with the 'Harmony Firm'.

As the heavily loaded wagons ran around, in just three months, more goods were being transported to Coldwind City than in the past.

Cattle, sheep and horses, grain and cloth, daily necessities, slaves and mercenaries, all kinds of people and goods were swallowed by the bottomless pit of 'rich and powerful leaders'.

It is difficult for outsiders to appreciate the fulfillment of this rapid increase in strength, and only managers like Rubio who actually handle it know that the 'rich and strong leader' is different almost every month.

There are more than a dozen kilometers of roads of different levels in the territory alone. They spread like cobwebs around them, connecting the seven or eight newly built villages in the realm to the lord's manor.

"If horses are easier to buy, buy more. More than 600 large livestock is still too little, especially horses are widely used. I hope that this number can be multiplied several times more. ”

Zhou Qingfeng has an ardent pursuit of 'replacing manpower with animal power, water power'. He likes to see his territory more productive and operationally efficient.

Rubio opened his mouth, tempted to say 'horses eat a lot more than people'. But thinking that feed could also be purchased externally, he kept his mouth shut.

According to Zhou Qingfeng's meaning, the 'rich and powerful leader' has to raise at least 2,000 horses. And there are very few nobles in the north who can support a population of 2,000.

There are so many horses, and the 'Rich and Strong Leader' is definitely the most powerful force second to none.

The estate is expanding in size and is becoming more and more like a small town. The more you go inward, the more people there are, the more houses there are, and even the streets appear.

An overhead aqueduct leads from the waterwheel along the river to the entire estate. The water pipes are connected to the water storage towers, which become the tap water of the local method.

There are always residents queuing up for water under the water storage tower, and when they see Zhou Qingfeng riding a horse, they all bow their heads and knees silently to show their respect.

Before the large-scale construction of houses, a complete water supply and drainage system was first built within the estate. This novel facility alone has halved the incidence of diarrhoeal diseases in the territory.

Eating, drinking, eating, drinking, clothing, housing and transportation are so particular, the people in the manor feel that they live as if they are nobles.
