Chapter 54 Agriculture
"Ding, the host farming data has been loaded!"
When the farmland reclaimed outside the town reached 10,000 acres, Su Lun's ears suddenly sounded the system's prompt sound.
Open the system panel, and all kinds of data have been clearly listed on it. How much land has been cultivated, how much land has been cultivated, and even the current state of the farmland, drought, insect infestation, disease, normal, good, etc., all have data.
With this farming system, Suren has more control over the territory and can give various solutions depending on the state of the farmland. And the system is automatically divided into upper, middle and lower according to the fertility of the farmland.
Of the 10,000 acres of farmland, part of it has been allocated to the barbarians and the citizens of the towns, and as for the rest, he plans to sell the remaining 5,000 acres, of course, because the population of the territory is still very small, and it needs to be sold after the population reaches a certain size.
According to the data of the Florentine kingdom, a family of four needs at least ten acres of land to survive, of course, the actual situation is about fifteen acres, after all, the farming technology is limited, the output is unstable, and the number of fields is doubled like the barbarians.
Su Lun originally built this territory according to the scale of 5,000 people, so the farmland reclamation also required at least 20,000 mu, plus he also needed to raise soldiers, the amount of farmland was naturally more, so he was ready to reclaim 30,000 mu of farmland.
If all the land he occupies is reclaimed, there will be at least 100,000 mu, which is enough to support the early expansion of his territory. With farmland, there is food, there is iron ore and weapons, and it can be said that the basic conditions of his territory are already very good.
If this was within the Kingdom of Florence, such a territory would have been occupied by people a long time ago, and it would not have been his turn at all.
The only commodity in the territory now is weapons, and the arms trade has a lot of political significance attached to it, so it's okay to sell a small amount, but if you sell weapons in large quantities, you must get the permission of several big nobles in the Northland, after all, if this is before the crossing, it belongs to the arms trade.
Suren wanted to develop his territory, and he had to go to great lengths to find a way out of trade. The wilderness is rich in timber resources, of course, in this era, human development and utilization of the surrounding natural environment is still very limited, basically all the periphery of the city has forests, unless the wood has a special use, otherwise even if the timber is transported from the city of Carthus, the income is pitiful.
Northland Heath.
This area is very large, said to be more than ten times the size of the entire Florentine Kingdom, and is home to a variety of wilderness races, including the Polar Glacier at the northernmost point of the Northland Heath, the coldest place on the continent, where legend has it that frost giants and dragons live. To the east of the Northland Heath is said to be a sea, to the south is Florence and the southern kingdoms, and to the west is bordered by the Desert of Death.
Suren's location is still on the edge of the Northlands Wastelands, which are actually the names of the Southern Kingdoms, and in fact it should be called the Endless Wastelands. In this wasteland, there are mountains, rivers, forests, grasslands and even swamps, and every country wants to take it for itself, but hundreds of years have passed, and there is still little progress.
Don't think that the wasteland is full of gnolls and goblins, they are from the lower levels of the food chain in the wilderness, the barbarian tribes, the ogre tribes, the centaur tribes, and the half-elf and orc tribes, they are the middle layer in the endless wasteland.
In addition to these, there are many unknown dangers living in this area, and there are also a large number of demonic beasts living in the wilderness, such as the Raging Wind Demon Tiger that Su Lun killed last time, which can only be the bottom of the high-level demonic beasts, and the ice pterosaur is a powerful demonic beast, and it is said that there are also legendary-level demonic beasts living in some hidden areas of the wasteland, which can compete with pure-blooded dragons.
If one day, a Vajra Demon Ape or Hydra Suren suddenly popped out of the wasteland, it would not be surprising.
Su Lun and his people are patrolling and searching the surrounding wasteland, he wants to find resources in the territory that can be traded, if he is lucky to find a gold mine, then the funds for the development of the territory are all available, but unfortunately the gold mine is completely unattainable.
"Head, it's noon now, let's have a meal and rest first. A barbarian warrior next to him reminded.
"It's noon. Su Lun looked at the sky, and then said, "Go hunt around and get something to eat, let's continue to look for it when we are full." ”
It was early in the morning, and everyone made a fire to cook, and two barbarian warriors went to hunt, and the others were on guard around. Suren opened the strategic map of the system and marked it.
In the past few days, he has indeed found some resources, but it is not worth developing, there is no gold mine in his territory, if salt mines are found, it is also a big deal, salt as a necessary condiment for human beings, is a very important resource, if Sulun finds salt mines here, then he can quickly obtain wealth by selling salt, but unfortunately he did not find salt lakes or salt mines.
A smell wafted in, attracting his attention, Su Lun looked up, it turned out that lunch was ready, put his mind at ease for a while, took out the utensils and began to enjoy the meal.
The main meal for lunch was a yellow sheep, which had been roasted on the outside and charred on the inside, and sprinkled with a special seasoning on top, Suren ate a large piece, and there was an iron pot next to it to cook a pot of fish soup, in addition to the fish, to which something seemed to be the tuber of some kind of plant.
After eating the barbecue, a large bowl full of fish soup was filled, Su Lun enjoyed the food with a comfortable face, but as soon as the fish soup was eaten, his face changed suddenly, and then he hurriedly drank a few more sips, as if to determine something.
"Robben, who made today's soup!" Su Lun shouted with a look of surprise.
"What's wrong?is there something wrong with the soup?" Robben's expression changed, and he looked around vigilantly.
"Don't be nervous, no problem with the soup. Seeing Robben, who was nervous, Su Lun hurriedly explained.
"And it tastes so good, I just want to know who makes the soup. ”
"Well, today's soup was made by Bud, and he's on guard there, so I'll call him over. Soon Robben came with a barbarian warrior.
"You're Bud?"
"Yes, I'm Bud, and I'm joining the realm with the Boss of the Stone. Bud said excitedly.
Su Lun nodded, then pointed to the soup bowl and said, "You made today's soup?"
"Yes. ”
"How did you make it sweet?" After receiving the confirmation, Su Lun hurriedly asked.
"Oh, you're asking about sweet roots. Bud said with a sudden realization.
