In Allen's mind, if you want to make the territory develop rapidly, the most important thing is the population, without the population, no matter how big the territory is, there is no way to develop. You want 100 inhabitants to support a big city, is it possible? So population is the most basic thing in a territory, and with enough population, as long as the funds and resources can keep up, you can cultivate new farmland and expand the development territory.

When it comes to expanding territories, the kingdom is very non-strict and non-standard in the management of territories. For example, Allen's territory is Tru Village, how much land does Tru Village occupy? This is not recorded by the empire, even if Allen expands Tru Village several times or more than ten times, the kingdom will not cure Allen for the crime of expanding his territory without permission.

In fact, if Eren can develop the small village of Tru Village into a town or a small city, not only will the kingdom not punish him, but may also give Eren some rewards, especially if Eren has the background of the Senlan family.

"My lord, is there anything wrong with me coming over to find the old man?" asked the village chief Jill as he knocked on the door and entered Allen's room.

"Village Chief Jill please take a seat," Alan cordially beckoned Village Chief Jill to sit down: "I am looking for the village chief to come here today, I want to discuss with you how to develop the territory in the future, I don't know if the village chief has any good suggestions." ”

After listening to Allen's words, the village chief Jill was a little excited, is the lord finally going to start developing the territory? Great! The village chief Jill sorted out his thoughts and said: "Lord Lord, I don't know much about the old man, but Lord Lord wants to develop the territory, the most important thing is the population, and these people in the village alone may not be able to help the lord too much." ”

"The village chief thinks the same as me," Alan smiled, "but I don't have a clue where this population should come from, and the village chief has a good idea." ”

"In the rest of the kingdom, there may not be any good way, but on the border, it is not too difficult to gather a population. Gil said.

The words of the village chief of Jill made Allen's heart happy: "I want to hear about it!"

"Your Excellency also knows that our villages in the border area are often attacked by beasts and even monsters in the wilderness area because they are adjacent to the wilderness area. Coupled with the rampant thieves in the neighborhood, most of the villages are not doing well. As long as the lord can provide sufficient protection from wild beasts and thieves, I believe that many villages will be willing to move over the entire village. ”

"In fact, over the years, many villages have been destroyed by monsters and thieves, and the survivors of these villages will basically join the nearby villages, and the nearby villages are happy to take them in, after all, no one can say when it will be their turn. ”

When the village chief Gil talked about these things, he was full of bitterness, and at the end he almost left tears, and hurriedly wiped them with his hands.

After listening to the words of the village chief of Jill, Allen's heart was also a little blocked, and his heart was full of sympathy, he couldn't imagine that the life of the border residents was so difficult, and it was not an exaggeration to say that the day was precarious. At the same time, Alan also felt a trace of disgust in his heart for the lord of Nice City, Count Benedict, and he didn't believe that this lord was really helpless against the nearby thieves. According to the chief of the village of Gil, the city lord of Benedict had sent troops to encircle and suppress the thieves several times in the past few years, and I am afraid that the city lord saw that he had not gained much from the encirclement and suppression several times, so he was afraid of trouble and did not want to waste money, food and soldiers in vain.

Monsters are natural disasters, but thieves are **, if the city lord of Benedict has put a little effort into cracking down on the thieves in recent years, Alan believes that these thieves will not be so rampant. But now that I'm here and have the Most Lord System in hand, then these thieves won't have much of a rampant life! When I have enough strength, I must definitely take these hateful thieves first!

"As the village chief Gil said, since the living conditions of the nearby villages are not very good, we might as well absorb them all into the territory. With Galen and Lux present, it is believed that ordinary thieves and monsters will not be able to harm the village. In this way, we can have enough territory for population development and also provide protection for the villagers who have migrated from nearby, which is a good thing to kill two birds with one stone. Alan said.

"What the lord said is that I will go to the nearby villages in person to lobby them to join our territory. ”

Alan nodded: "But don't be in a hurry, just contact two or three villages for the time being, after all, we have limited funds, and if we have too many people, we can't afford it." Alan instructed.

Allen's character has always been to do what comes to his mind, it can be said that he is resolute, or it can be said that he lacks the consideration of thinking twice. Now that he had discussed the solution to the population problem with the village chief of Jill, Alan immediately called Alex and asked him to bring four guards to protect the village chief of Jill to lobby in other villages.

After the village chief Jill and Alex and the others left, Alan went to the clearing in the village where the timber was stored. Before Alan went to explore the wilderness area, he arranged for seventeen thief captives to mine wood nearby, and these thief captives naturally did not dare to be lazy under the watchful eye of the guards, and the clearing was already full of timber at this time.

Since the villagers from other villages are to be relocated, it is natural to help them solve the problems of housing and land. The fields are good, and the village is surrounded by abandoned land, as long as you send someone to reclaim it, it can come in handy immediately. And the problem of living houses depends on these timbers to solve the problem.

Fortunately, the autumn harvest has just passed, and new seeds have been planted, and now most of the villagers are idle at home, and there is enough labor in the territory. It is worth mentioning that the main food crop in the eastern continent is a crop known as rice and wheat, which farmers on the continent grow throughout the year and can harvest two crops a year, spring and autumn.

Alan had the young men and thieves of the village gathered together, announced that the villagers of other villages might be incorporated into the territory, and then assigned the task of cutting wood, building houses, and clearing new farmland.

The autumn planting season is not over yet, and it is still time to cultivate new fields in time for autumn planting this autumn. When the villagers heard that other villages were to be incorporated into the territory, they were very happy and happy to do their work. They may not understand the development of any territory, but they still understand the truth that living in a border area and having more people is more powerful.

In the afternoon, the village chief Gil and the others returned to the village, and at the same time brought representatives of three other villages, two old men and one in the prime of life.

"Hello Lord Lord, Chief Gil has spoken to us, and we are happy to join your realm and become your people. But our village has just finished autumn planting, and if we migrate here now, I'm afraid we won't even be able to eat next year!"

The three of them saluted Eren respectfully and expressed their worries. Living on the border, Alan provided security that the three of their villages could not refuse, but leaving their village would mean losing their fields, which was what they feared the most.

But this is not a big problem for Allen: "Don't worry, I have arranged for the villagers to reclaim the wasteland, after you move here, each family will be allocated a new field, and the seed territory will be provided for free, and you can move here now, and you can sow the seeds in time." As for your original fields, I will send someone to take care of them later, and after the spring harvest next year, the harvested grain will be distributed to everyone, so you don't have to worry about the food problem. ”

"And I've already arranged for someone to build the house, so you don't have to worry about housing after you move here. If there are any other difficulties that can be said, I can help you solve them. ”

After Allen finished speaking, he stared at the three people in front of him, waiting for them to make a choice.

After listening to Allen's words, the three of them were moved, they really didn't expect that the young lord in front of them was not only willing to provide them with protection, but also helped them solve their most concerned problems: "Lord Lord is merciful! ”

Following such a benevolent lord, the future life must not be bad!

The three villages have decided to move over, which makes Alan very happy, and he doesn't have to worry about restricting the development of the territory due to population problems in a short time. Eren simply asked Galen, Lux, and the entire guard to protect the migrating villagers so that they could move safely. After all, the relocation of the entire village is not a small project, and Alan does not want to be robbed by the thieves nearby.

And where the new house will be built, Alan also has to plan well. After all, the territory is intended to continue to develop, and if you don't plan in advance now, it will be extremely troublesome to dismantle and rebuild it later.
