The Overworld continent is very large, and as far as Donald knows, as well as the approximate measurements that the Book of Truth made at the moment of passing through the plane barrier when he first crossed over, it is at least three times larger than all the land areas on Earth combined, and as for the ocean area, it is even larger.

Legend has it that there are other continents outside of the sea that exist in the Overworld, but the outer sea is full of terrifying space storms, and the true gods can be lost in it, so even the Church of the Gods has no exact answer, and it is basically just a legend. Historically, ships that have gone to sea in search of a new continent have never returned to the mainland.

With such a huge territory, most of them are uninhabited dense forests, mountains, deserts, and the Gobi, and the North County is only a very inconspicuous corner in it, even if the Northland territory occupied by the Celtic Kingdom only accounts for about one-tenth of the area of the entire North and South Continent, which is still a vast territory among the mainland countries.

Donald's territory is equivalent to the size of a prefecture-level municipal district in his previous life, and if all of them are developed, it will not be difficult to accommodate tens of millions of people. However, he is environmentally conscious, but he does not want to completely destroy the ecological environment of the territory, so that it is likely to become a wasteland like the Northwest Wasteland in many years.

Therefore, it is necessary to protect forest vegetation and prevent soil erosion. This greatly affects the actual living area of the territory. However, just a large area of the original Lord's County was enough for Donald to develop for more than ten years.

The town hall is very large, and it can accommodate at least 5,000 people inside. And the open space outside the town is more than enough to build three large villages. These plans also occupy only a small part of the south-central part of the entire Dalaran Domain, and he has now moved less than a third of the land of the original Lordship, and there are still large vacant tracts of land waiting to be developed in other areas.

Compared with some countries in Southeast Asia and Africa, where the population exploded in the previous life, the living environment in Europe and the United States is undoubtedly better! Therefore, it is not a good thing to say that there are fewer people and more land.

With the addition of nearly 1,000 new lords, bringing a large number of laborers to the territory, the construction work that had been planned for Dalaran began immediately.

The whole realm was in full swing, and everyone who saw it was sure in their hearts that it was only a matter of time before the prosperity of Dalaran and the rise of the Merlina family were too far off.

According to Donald's plan, the steward counted more than a hundred mountain people with some skills, such as some craftsmen and strong hunters.

"Young Master, the people you want have been counted, and the hunters account for the most of the newcomers, but there are only one hundred and twenty-eight strong and experienced hunters, most of whom are good at hunting, good at setting traps, and a few old hunters who know how to use herbs to treat injuries and diseases. The others were thirty-five tanners, eleven blacksmiths and blacksmiths' apprentices, eight carpenters, three stonemasons, five fishermen, and two who could do simple arithmetic and could be absorbed into the lord's palace to manage some chores. ”

"Very well, you go and tell them that only those who have the ability can live well, and if it is true, these hundred people can take their families to live in the town, and choose their own accommodation in the civilian area I planned. After settling down, they must devote themselves to the construction and production of the territory, and within half a year, they will train a group of apprentices who can be initially put into work, as a reward for the territory and me!"

"The rest of the people are to be placed in the two villages outside the town as a family unit, and they must be divided into two villages outside the town, taking care to disrupt the ties of the original villages, not allowing them to form a group, but making them obey the control and integrate into the territory as soon as possible. ”

In Donald's vision, those selected are the middle class in the future realm, and they are also the basis for the territory to prosper, so they can bring their families to live in the town and enjoy the good and comfortable living environment of Twilighttown. Most of the other mountain dwellers, who could only hunt wild animals and cultivate crops, were settled in enclosed villages outside the town, along with large tracts of land available for cultivation.

Donald believes that a society necessarily needs the existence of classes, and only with classes can there be the motivation for progress. The lower class residents envy the middle class, the middle class envy the upper class people who have become rich first, and the upper class people envy the noble lords who rule them.

If we really want to realize a system where everyone is equal, it will only cultivate people's laziness and lack of progress. That kind of society is bound to collapse.

Because the mountain people live a hard life, most of them have no long things, how can they have the money to build a house, so after they choose a place in the village foundation, the lord of Donald will build a house for them, of course, the cost of which is Donald, but there must be an adult in each family to help build it.

Soon, all the villagers had already chosen a location, and the construction team that Donald had hired from the Chamber of Commerce in Boulder City began to work.

The new residents lived in makeshift tents in the town square, and went out to help every day, looking at the original companions who had already moved into the town, their faces were full of envy, and at the same time they were looking forward to the completion of their own houses.

Due to their proximity to the forest, there was no shortage of materials, and the simplest structure of wood and stone meant that the houses built for these lords were very fast. And because each house was operated by more than a dozen workers, and the leaders spontaneously helped, after all, this was to build a shelter for themselves, so it was only half a month later, and rows of new houses were generally standing in the territory.

The two villages outside the town cost a lot to build, and of course they were rough wooden houses, not as good as the beautiful and sturdy houses that were embodied in the town.

But for these mountain people, it is also much stronger than the previous simple mountain dwellings. I've been wandering for a few months, but now I have a home of my own.

After that, the interior was repaired and the furniture was built, and soon the lords were able to move into their new homes, and on the evening of the initial completion of the town and the two new villages, Donald, as lord, held a celebratory banquet in the square in front of the lord's palace.

"Ordered the manors and farms to increase meat and flour and vegetables, and then distribute them to the families in the territory, there is no need to save on food, after the completion of the new village, the territory environment has basically been perfected, the autumn harvest is approaching, and it will be self-sufficient soon, and the warehouse can ensure enough food reserves for the winter. ”

"Yes, young master!"

William received the order below, and he was still very distressed about Kod Donald, and he didn't want him to be so tired, so he let William officially take charge of the personnel appointment of the territory. And his wife, Isabella, was in charge of housekeeping such as the kitchen and the female servants of the lord's house.

As the chief butler, Ke De is now only responsible for the life of his young master, occasionally supervising the affairs of the territory, and does not bow down to everything, and has a lot of free hands, and his life is a lot more leisurely.

Five pigs and ten sheep were slaughtered and ready to eat, and the various ingredients produced in the Dark Night Manor farm were simply processed and distributed to each family, where they cooked their own food, and the lord's food was of course the manor's cook.

More than a dozen torches lit up the square, and all the people in the square gathered to stack the fragrant and steaming food and ale wine, sweet juice and other beverages on several long wooden tables put together.

Before the celebration began, Donald, the lord, gave a simple but solemn inspiring speech, outlining the future of the realm, while instilling the basic laws of his own realm, and striking at certain dissenting people. This encouragement and beating make these people's hearts full of hope, and at the same time, they will not be driven by ** to do anything stupid out of the ordinary.

Seeing that his purpose had been achieved, Donald was the first to raise his glass and declare:

"My people, the feast has begun, take your glasses and food, and enjoy your food!"

Amid the cheers of celebration of the new birth and the praise of the great lord, these lords feasted on the abundant food in front of them. And Donald, the lord, after showing his face, returned to his residence. As soon as the lord left, the lords were even more open, and the scene was full of laughter and laughter.

Since the renovation of the Lord's Mansion had not yet been completed, Donald continued to live in his villa, not to mention that the villa was a modern residence designed and built by him, and he was accustomed to the comfortable environment in it, and decided that the Lord's Mansion would only be used as an office in the future, and the villa of the manor would be a private residence. Therefore, I didn't spend much thought on the renovation of the lord's mansion, just a simple set of bathrooms and water circulation systems.

The knight class can already build small fortresses on their own land, and in addition to the militia guarding the territory, they can also have no more than 100 soldiers under their command.

Of course, there are loopholes in this decree, which stipulates the number of official soldiers, and does not include troops like knightly squires and auxiliaries, so it is very easy for nobles to install people in their own territory.

In fact, except for the nobles who have no money and cannot afford to raise soldiers, many noble lords' private soldiers exceed the regulations, but as long as they do not go too far, the royal family will only turn a blind eye, which has been an unwritten practice for thousands of years.

As a hereditary baron, Donald can build a private army of no more than 300 people, but at present, Donald has no plans to formally establish an army, because his army must be the elite of the elite, and loyalty is more important than combat effectiveness.

As a result, Donald only upgraded the manor guards he had hired to the Territory Militia Garrison, and those guards saw the future of Dalaran's territory and moved their families to the town.

Donald then recruited twenty more young men from the new consuls, increasing the number of convoys to thirty.

Then he said to William, the new political officer behind him: "Order someone to call Barn and Tik!"

After William passed the order, a man in the prime of life and a young man came to Donald in a short time.
