Although there is only one word difference between eating well and eating well, the requirements for productivity are very different. Raising poultry requires surplus food and a stable environment.

After subduing Alpine City, Duke also took advantage of the most intense period of war in the French Empire in the past few months, seized the time to develop his storm territory, and established a large pig farm and poultry farm through "territorial support", which can ensure sufficient protein sources in the future, and can also ensure oil and water.

Even the dwarven tribes, taking advantage of their characteristics in the mountains, began to raise sheep on a large scale, and the standard domestic animals of the dwarves were goats, and they also concentrated on breeding war sheep. Because the difficulty of raising goats is much simpler than that of sheep, the main reason for this simplicity is their ability to find food.

Sheep can basically only eat grass on the ground, and once it is winter, they must be prepared for hay in advance or even used grain feeding. The dwarves are not much more productive, and they are not even as productive as humans, especially in the territory they occupy, and the farming conditions are far behind those of humans, and they do not have such a strong economic strength to raise sheep, which are relatively delicate domestic animals.

Goats are different, they can climb mountains and mountains to find food, and more importantly, when the snow covers the mountains in winter, they can cut through the thick snow layer and find the roots and stems of the grass buried deep in the ground, which can greatly reduce the burden of dwarves and make it easier to manage.

However, it is precisely because of its ability to gnaw grass roots that goats have a great impact on the environment. When the goat population is small, it can slowly recover by relying on nature's ability to recover. But if Duke asks for meat to be supplied, it is estimated that it will be able to desertify this small grassland in the Saint-Michel mountains. Even if Duke doesn't have the capital to take care of any environmental issues now, he doesn't want to fish with all his might, and in the end he will hurt himself.

And this grassland is not only used to raise sheep, but also to raise horses, the real grassland of the French Empire is the northern territory faced by the Duchy of Berry, even if Zhang Nan lays down Andorra City in the future, the grassland area will not expand much, and he has not yet had the luxury of taking arable land to grow grass and grazing horses, so he can only try to take the road of sustainable development.

And now with Stormfort's abundant grain production and the ability to stock hay, the sheep can survive the winter, so that more livestock can be raised on the limited grassland area, and more meat can be supplied. And now that Jenny is popular, the Storm Territory needs more textiles, and Duke, a high-end textile that is warm, will naturally not miss it, and the economic benefits brought by sheep breeding are far greater than those of the previous goats.

Although Duke's poultry and livestock breeding goals have been laid, it will not be possible to meet the needs of the Storm Territory in a few years. The fishery products of the Sea of Death will be used as a substitute for a long time to come, so that there is an abundant source of protein and oil and water, which can make soldiers more powerful, which will be a decisive advantage in the era of cold weapons.

And with oil and water, the pressure on logistics will be greatly reduced, for example, many people in modern times only eat a few taels of rice, and in ancient times, many middle-aged men needed a pound of rice to be full. From the current point of view, this is simply the weight of a rice bucket, but in ancient times, it was a very common thing, because of the lack of meat oil and water, it would cause them to eat a lot of rice to make up for it, and the logistics had to prepare more food.

Everything in the Storm Territory is going according to Duke's plan, and the Storm Traders are sparing no effort to open up new trade routes to make up for the loss of market share in the Storm Territory due to the war. At the same time, the rise of textile factories in the Storm Territory, female workers began to become a trend, and Duke also issued a series of laws and regulations on the protection of the rights and interests of workers, women and children, and he did not want the enclosure movement and the tragedy of sheep and cannibalism on the eve of the British Industrial Revolution on the earth to happen in the territory of Storm Castle.

Officially because of the addition of female labor, the speed of creating value in the Storm Territory is equivalent to doubled, and the types of logistics jobs such as female nurses, tailors, waiters, etc., have begun to increase significantly.

The Great Witch of Hera had naturally seen this situation, and to be honest, the development of the Storm Territory today had surpassed all her previous understandings. After all, in her original idea, as long as she wanted to find a place to stay with the witches, but the foundation of the safety of this shelter was really based on the personal thinking of the lord Duke.

That is to say, as long as Duke does not oppose the witches, these little witches are safe, but the folk atmosphere and understanding have not changed at all, as long as there is a change of lord, or Duke's attitude changes, these witches will become devils and persona non grata.

But now this situation has quietly changed, and the improvement of women's status is also making everyone face up to the problem of witches, and more importantly, because of the appearance of female nurses and female doctors, witches' previous treatment behavior will no longer be regarded as demonic witchcraft. It's a radical change in people's mindset and their acceptance of the witch community.

It can even be said that the people of the Storm Territory have begun to dilute the witch label on them, and all witches are people like themselves. However, because of the existence of the Holy See, Duke still kept the witches as much as possible within the scope of the old territory before Storm Castle, and Alpine City was still imperceptibly influenced. After all, this kind of newly added territory can't be with Duke and them so quickly, and another point is that the Holy See's Bright Army is stationed outside Alpine City, even if it is suppressed by Carsmail, it is very likely that they will find an excuse to trigger the Holy See's suspicion and attack on the Storm Territory.

At the same time, the textile factories that rose in the Storm Territory also caused a dumping storm on the Europa Continent, after all, the textile speed of hundreds of times that of manpower, the cost reduction is simply amazing, and the textile products of other empires with the family as the main unit have no way to compete with the Storm Territory in terms of cost, even if it is to add the transportation cost of the Storm Carriage, the products of the Storm Territory still only need half of the market price, which instantly crushed the textile market of the entire continent.
