The humble wooden huts scattered outside the walls of the Storm Fortress were like a line of defense.

Each wooden house is so simple that it has no windows, and the dozens of square meters of room are full of bed boards and thin bedding, which looks far inferior to even the migrant workers' shed.

The point is more!

At least a few hundred or more buildings.

At the same time, beyond the wooden house area, there is a green wheat field as far as the eye can see.

There were tens of thousands of acres of wheat fields half a month ago, and they were not reclaimed during this time.

Because wheat fields are not just cultivated.

Even with the help of seven snake lizard cubs, the speed of reclamation is extremely impressive, but the snake lizard can't help with the meticulous work of clearing weeds, watering, planting, and harvesting.

The question now is, the speed at which trees are cut, the ditches are dug ... and so on can not keep up with the speed of reclamation,

Fortunately, the territory was replenished with 5,000 slaves, so that the labor force was barely enough.

Otherwise, the wheat will ripen once in ten days, and the manpower in the past will not be enough.

The current manpower is barely enough to take care of these wheat fields, and some people can be assigned to do other things, and there is no room for new wheat fields to be cultivated.

"Your Excellency!"

Porudo walked over.

At this time, the other party was completely different from the nervous carpenter when he first arrived at the Storm Territory, and his face was full of confidence and drive.

"Well, well done!"

Zhao Hao never hesitated to praise this capable subordinate.

"Thank you, my lord, for the compliment, this is what your subordinates should do!"

Porudo responded respectfully.

Even if he was already able to command thousands of slaves, he didn't dare to be a little proud in front of Zhao Hao, because he knew very well where his power came from, and he wanted to keep climbing up.

Ambition!

is the best nourishment for his growth.

It is precisely because of ambition that he racks his brains to complete one task after another.

Being able to learn carpenter skills shows that he has a good brain, and combined with his ambition, he has grown to the point where he manages thousands of people today without any trouble.

Yes, the world of heroes doesn't need to engage in 'scientific management', as long as there is no chaos.

According to the real world, Porudo is undoubtedly not perfect, but by the standards of the hero world, he is a talent.

"Are you in any trouble?"

Zhao Hao glanced at the slaves who were busy, and felt that their eyes and spirit were completely different from before.

Yes, even if they work 007 hours a day and have no pay, the slaves feel very happy.

There are no brutal masters and overseers, and there is plenty of food and comfortable accommodation (dozens of people in one room), how can they not be satisfied.

Well, well-fed, sheltered, safe!

This is the ideal supreme treatment, and what kind of bicycle do you want?

Those black-hearted capitalists in the real world will definitely call them experts when they see it, this is their perfect employee! .

"There is one, we have too much food, it is not easy to preserve, if it continues like this, it is easy to get damp or spoiled!"

Porudo spoke out about the big problems he faced.

Grain is not just a shed can be stored, he knows how to build a warehouse, but it takes a lot of time and manpower, building a warehouse is far more troublesome than building a wooden house.

"No problem, I'll take care of this!"

Zhao Hao said that this is a trivial matter.

Click on the building interface of the territory panel, and in the wooden house, sewer, road... found the warehouse building.

Small kiosk

Small Warehouse [Functional Building]: 10 meters long * 5 meters wide * 3 meters high, the negative effects of reserve items are reduced by 50%.

Resources Required: 10,000 gold, 30 wood, 10 ore

…

Large Warehouse [Functional Building]: 50 meters long * 30 meters wide * 10 meters high, the negative effects of reserve items are slowed by 300%.

Resources required: 3,000,000 gold, 500 wood, 300 ore

Something built with resources naturally has a bit of a regular effect.

The ability to slow down negative effects by a factor of three is something that a normal warehouse can never do.

In other words, even if the wheat put into a large warehouse is really moldy, damp, or spoiled... and so on, it will also be slowed down by more than three times.

Great stuff!

The current Storm Lords really need a warehouse.

Especially food.

Tens of thousands of acres of farmland with 'Devil' brand fertilizer produce nearly 6,000 tons of wheat, which is not a small amount.

That's right, the Storm Lord's food reserves are so bad right now.

And that's just the yield they grow themselves.

The batch of grain purchased from Bright Moon City had already been traded to the dark elves.

It can be harvested in more than ten days, and with the yield after the blessing of 'fertilizer', the growth rate of grain makes Zhao Hao's heart tremble.

More than 6,000 tons of wheat are enough to feed tens of thousands of people for a year, and it is no wonder that he will use grain as the pillar of the storm leader, it is really too big an advantage, and it will not work if he does not use it.

Of course, it would be a shame to convert it into gold coins.

300 gold coins a ton of wheat!

The average selling price of the Chamber of Commerce.

In other words, more than 6,000 tons of wheat is less than two million gold coins.

And so much grain, if it is in Mingyue City, it will take at least 60,000 mu of farmland, and it will take half a year to produce.

From this one can draw a conclusion.

Food doesn't make money!

At least under normal circumstances, growing food is really not profitable.

But in the Shattered Star Islands, it's very profitable, very profitable.

The premise is that there is a steady stream of 'fertilizer', otherwise it will be harvested once in ten days, and the yield will be several times that of other places, which is a complete dream.

"Build a big warehouse!" *2

Airplanes!

A large number of data light bands appeared out of thin air, and two huge warehouses were quickly constructed in the open space inside the fortress.

Instead of manual construction, it would have taken at least a few hundred skilled workers a lot of time to build the two warehouses.

The advantage of a territory is that it can be built in an instant.

Even if the resources consumed, it is actually dozens of times higher than the cost.

But with the special effects and time saved, it's not a loss.

"Okay, these two warehouses are under your management, and even if the things stored in them deteriorate, they will be three times slower than normal!"

Zhao Hao pointed to the two large warehouses that had just been built.

With these two large warehouses, even 20,000 tons of wheat are not a problem.

And the customers who buy wheat do not have to worry.

In the world of heroes, anything can be unsalable, but there are two things that you never have to worry about.

Food, weapons!

Life is a little more difficult without other supplies, you will starve to death if you have no food, and the same is true for weapons, without weapons, you will die quickly in the dangerous world of heroes.

After dealing with the warehouse problem, Zhao Hao had no intention of interfering in Porudo's work, and directly led the team into the fortress.

Even if he is a lord, he can't meddle in everything, so even if he has more time, it won't be enough, just leave the matter to someone who can do it.

Once inside the fortress, place the Pegasus Oath special item.

Swish!

A statue appears above the base camp.

Then on the data panel, the Pegasus production of the five Demon Springs is +2 each.

Just one word, Zhao Hao wants to say it again.

With the current explosive speed of the Storm Lord, he can definitely cry countless lords.

After settling the Pegasus Oath, he began to discuss the expansion of the Endless Hills.

"My lord, if you want to take down the Endless Hills, you must first deal with the orcs of the Blood Fury Tribe!"

Ellie reminded softly.

She is not usually idle, and often gathers information around the fortress.

"Yes, in the past, we either went to the Endless Hills with small troops, or we entered and exited quickly, so the other party did not make a move, once we expanded the Endless Hills, we would definitely be attacked by the other party!"

Memphira is also in favor of dealing with the Orcs of the Bloodrage Tribe.

The Endless Hills are the territory of the orcs, and in terms of the opponent's aggressive character, if you want to expand, you will start a war with the other party, and there is no possibility of reconciliation at all.

"What is the strength of the other party?"

Zhao Hao looked at Ellie.

The Bloodfury Orc is not familiar with it, and when he was stationed in the Shattered Star Islands, the ashes of the other party were scattered, so he really didn't know the information of the other party.

It was only after listening to Ellie's next words that he rejoiced that he had been cautious before.

If it hadn't been to open the Whispering Forest before, but to run to the endless hills, the corpses might have been cold.
