Chapter 42: The Booming Town of Blackstone

readx;

In the following days, Adam observed the changes in the hearts of the people in the territory every day, and the people's hearts increased steadily, and about 2,000 people entered the account every day, so Adam was very pleased. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

The increase in popular sentiment is another affirmation of Adam's efforts during this time, and it also shows that good changes are constantly taking place in Blackstone and the dwarf territory.

Take the city wall of Blackstone Town as an example, the dwarf craftsmen and the first wall have been completely built, about five stories high, and from a distance, Blackstone Town looks like a human city.

Since the gnomes moved to the vicinity of Blackstone Town, the communication between the humans and the gnomes in Blackstone Town has undoubtedly become much easier, and the relationship between the two has become closer and closer under the active mediation of Adam and Colby.

Adam considered that the cold winter was coming, and the ground in the cold winter was not as warm as he imagined, and there were many inconveniences, and the biggest inconvenience was the transportation of materials between the two places in the cold winter.

The location of the obsidian mine is some distance from the town, and the winter of the Saya Desert is extremely cold, the cold wind is more cruel than the summer, and the desert storms that appear more frequently in the winter undoubtedly bring great inconvenience to the export of materials.

Let the gnomes make their home outside the walls of Blackstone, while Blackstone does its best to help the Shortt gnomes build their houses and outer walls before winter.

facades, which are Adam's second layer considerations. The Short Pygmy and the Humans of Blackstone Town, if the comparison between the two sides is undoubtedly more intimate in his mind, the Short Pygmy Humans are placed on the periphery of the inner wall to settle down, and at the same time arrange for the Pygmy craftsmen to speed up the construction of the second city wall, the outer city wall.

If there is a war in Blackstone in the future, the Short Pygmy settlements and the outer walls are undoubtedly war zones, so the Blackstone settlements in the inner city are relatively much safer.

With regard to the construction of the outer walls, Adam gave Col a figure that was more than twice as tall as the inner walls, that is, about the height of a ten-story building.

In Adam's opinion, the height of a ten-story building is not very high, but for the dwarfs of Schott, such a large amount of work is undoubtedly huge and difficult. However, Colby was very serious and promised to complete such a difficult task of building the city wall, which surprised Adam a little, but then he was relieved when he thought about it, the dwarf's hands-on ability and the invention of tools were much higher than those of humans in Adam's opinion, since Colby said that it could be built on time, then it might as well be left to him to do it, and see how much effect he could make.

Adam didn't let Colby finish it before winter, but he had to lay the foundation of the second wall before winter, and the rest of the work was left for next year.

When Adam settled the gnomes and Colby to discuss the construction of the city wall, the agricultural aspect of Blackstone Town was not left behind, and the magical tricolor fruit was harvested four times a year, long before the dwarf people were annexed, the first batch of tricolor fruit had been harvested, and the second batch was planted on time.

Since the town of Blackstone started planting tricolor fruits in the second half of this year, it can only harvest two crops this year. Although it can only be harvested for two seasons, it is enough for Blackstone Town and the dwarfs to eat, and after removing the food consumption of more than 2,000 people in the territory, Sophia estimates that there will be a lot of three-color fruits left.

In addition, the shelf-stable fruit of the tricolor fruit can be used as a staple food as a dish, and the peel of the tricolor fruit can also be made into a cloth. Just one three-color fruit has enriched the materials and improved the living standards of the people in Blackstone Town in many ways, at least it is no longer the time when it was struggling at the level of food and clothing.

Thanks to Sophia's arrangement of cross-planting and the reason why the Whisperer's profession can control the plants, as well as the bonus effect of the Harvest Goddess's priesthood, the harvest of the two seasons is under the combined layer of these two factors, according to Sophia's calculations, it is a full double the normal harvest.

It is worth mentioning that the second priesthood of the goddess of harvest, legislation, has brought obvious effects, the intimate and orderly communication between humans and dwarf people in Blackstone Town, the peaceful coexistence of the two sides and the fights and brawls in the territory and other criminal incidents are basically extinct.

Such a change, in addition to Allen's strict law enforcement, is also due to the belief god of Blackstone Town, the goddess of harvest, Methere.

Adam, who originally wanted to establish the specific legal rules of Blackstone Town, after discovering such a change, also put down his mind of legislation, after all, he is not a professional, and he has written several legal contents with obvious loopholes, so this matter is still left to professional personnel in the future, fortunately, under the current priesthood effect of the goddess of harvest in Blackstone Town, there is no big contradiction in the territory.

There is also the plan proposed by Sophia to reclaim new farmland some time ago, which has also been shelved for a long time, and no good solution can be thought of until now.

The main reason is that the soft sand near Blackstone Town is really not suitable for farming, and the existing cultivated land in Blackstone Town was also reclaimed by the ancestors who fled here and tried their best to reclaim it, and the biggest reason is that the ancestors were not short of materials at that time.

After all, the Deria family at that time was also the ruling bloodline of a principality, and the ancestors at that time carried a very small amount of sacred objects such as the spring of life, which were harmonized with other precious treasures full of vitality. It was the ancestors who tried their best to improve the land in this way, so that there is now the cultivated land in Blackstone Town.

Normally, according to the cultivated land in Blackstone Town, two seasons of tricolor fruits can only meet the current population's annual ration, but now it can still increase the average amount. Adam was very happy that Blackstone had achieved such results in agriculture.

Adam recorded the credit for Eston and Sophia, but he was suffering from nothing to reward, so he could only praise it verbally for the time being.

It's just that this is a pity for our economic officer, Eston, who was nominally appointed by Adam as the Minister of Economy, has only been able to help Sophia deal with agricultural problems since he took office, and he doesn't care about his own work, but this is also because Blackstone is too backward and can only be self-sufficient at present.

At the same time, as far as Adam knew, there was only one human town in the Saya Desert, Blackstone Town, and the closest human sphere of influence to Blackstone Town was the Principality of Tianying.

In view of the trade results and gains of the previous lord, Eston did not mention foreign trade to Adam, and Adam was happy not to mention it.

For Eston, the original trade experience and not trade was a disaster, and that trade alone killed two-thirds of the people who went out of Blackstone Town, and even the well-protected lords were not spared with internal injuries, these casualties were all from the various natural disasters that can be found everywhere in the desert, quicksand, dust storms, and the wind that can blow away all the water of people.

This shows the horror of the Saya Desert.

Adam didn't want to mention trade, he thought it was an unwise decision to trade in the first place, although his father, whom he had never met, had his own troubles, and the people would not have enough to eat, and there was no other way to go but to go to other human territories to buy the necessary supplies.

However, it is clear that Adam does not have such a problem now, so Adam does not plan to adopt foreign trade at present, but it is necessary to find a correct way to communicate with the outside world.

To get back to the point, there is still more than a month to go into winter, and the first cold monsoon is about to blow in the Saya Desert. A few days ago, the clothes arranged for Eston to be made were almost in place, and recently when Adam went out, he found that people had changed into new clothes, and the necessary fabrics in the house, such as quilts and so on, were complete, which made Adam's heart feel more stable, at least this winter, Blackstone Town should not die because of bad weather.

Recently, there is another thing worth celebrating in Blackstone Town, that is, the first newborn born in Blackstone Town this year was born, and the family born was an ordinary townsman in Blackstone Town.

Adam, who knew about this from Sophia, took time out of his busy schedule to visit the family.

In previous years, the birth of newborns brought not happiness but a kind of pain to a family, and it was difficult for newborns in Blackstone Town to survive the two major problems of hunger and cold winter in previous years.

But this year is different, a series of new policies and efforts brought by Adam have begun to bear fruit, not only Adam and others are confident, but also the ordinary townspeople at the bottom of Blackstone Town are full of confidence in the coming winter.

Master Adam has done a lot for us!

Master Adam said, "Any difficulty is a paper tiger in front of the united people of Blackstone!"

It's almost the end of the year, and Adam asked Allen, Eston, and Sophia to report on the progress of the work in the past six months. Using the words and numbers of the Morino Continent and the overall planning method of the previous life, the two were combined to make a detailed information and data on the military, agriculture and people's livelihood of Blackstone Town, and all the states of Blackstone Town were clear at a glance. Adam instructed Eston to copy three copies and distribute them to the three of them.

Adam's report was unanimously praised by the three of them, and Adam also instructed all three of them to submit an overview of their affairs according to the contents of such a report.

The three of them naturally agreed convincingly. The main reason for this is that the manual does not provide a clear data on these things, such as how much is consumed, how much is stored, how much is used to make clothes, and whether there is a margin. For another example, the detailed data such as the training effect of the current two military forces in Blackstone Town, the daily equipment wear and tear, etc., are not displayed in the manual, and these must be counted by Adam and Allen and others.

These days, Adam has carefully sorted out the current state of Blackstone Town, from which he has also experienced the details of Blackstone Town and the dwarf people, so that he can consider the next development direction from various aspects such as military, people's livelihood, and territorial construction. The people's hearts have also slowly reached full value in Adam's busy days, meeting the requirements for upgrading second-level towns.
