Chapter 50: Chapter 50: Changfeng Plain

For example, dealing with the Kaimen bandit group, subduing several large nearby villages, and even sending the captured woman home this time.

"The Changfeng Plain is about forty kilometers away from Merlot Town. There is a very vast plain that can be used as arable land. Why does no one consider it?" Aslan said at the right time.

He was well aware of the aristocratic rebellion that broke out not long after, and the flames of war broke out everywhere, followed by locust plagues and drought, which plunged the entire kingdom into a precarious situation, a double blow from natural and man-made disasters.

This time, the disaster lasted for a full year before the kingdom recovered, suppressed the rebellious nobles, and began to relieve the victims.

After the disaster, the kingdom re-counted the population, and 30% of the population of the country disappeared, leaving less than 500 million people.

In this natural and man-made disaster, Melox Province was not affected by the flames of war because it was far away from the battlefield and was a well-known backcountry in the kingdom. There was no threat of man-made disasters. A safe haven for refugees.

After the war, the total population of Merlox province had doubled several times, and even the deepest Merlot region at that time had a population of several million.

Aslan remembered very clearly that when the previous life erupted, neither the Billy area nor the Kex area was sure to leave so many people, so they could only be diverted to the Melo area.

During that time, for the sake of the stability of the territory, Aslan was still entering several passes in the Melo area to deploy heavy troops, and did not dare to let the refugees in until there was surplus food in the territory. Time to rest and gather the refugees again.

At that time, the number of refugees that Aslan could obtain was less than one-tenth of the original number.

"My lord! It's just that the existing developable fields are enough to feed more than 12,000 people in Melo Town. There are still many wastelands around that have not been developed. Rushing into the Changfeng Plain will only cause unnecessary disputes." Essien showed embarrassment. Said.

Due to the baptism of the magic curse, the Melo area is barren and there are many places where the elements are disordered, so the human race is not very willing to settle here.

Therefore, the Melo area became the last safe haven for many alien races in the kingdom.

It is said that there are more than 400,000 alien races on the Changfeng Plain, among which halflings are the main ones, followed by dwarves and gnomes, and then there are a few other alien races.

The rise of Aslan in the previous life took a lot of effort to subdue these alien races. In this life, Aslan planned ahead of time, so naturally he would not let this place go.

"The Changfeng Plain is so big, we can just find a place where no one is around, and we can also trade with these alien races. We don't need to conquer them by force, we just need to conquer them economically." Aslan said with a mysterious smile.

Wilson glanced at Aslan as if he had realized something, and quickly wrote down this sentence. Essien just nodded half-understood, which was still out of his trust in Aslan.

"Essien is going to issue an announcement to recruit people who voluntarily go to the Changfeng Plain to settle and open up wasteland." Aslan said this, after thinking for a while, he added: "When the time comes, the fields that have been opened up will be divided 50-50."

"Fifty-fifty split?" Essien asked in shock.

"Hmm! Is there a problem?" Aslan gave Essien a very unexpected look.

"It's a big problem! It's an honor for those people to open up wasteland for the lord. The lord not only hires them, but also distributes their land..."

Essien slammed on the brakes at the end, and he really wanted to ask whether Aslan was stupid.

Aslan naturally heard the meaning of Essien's words. Unlike Essien, he knew very well that the key to the development of a town was population.

Even if he opened up a few large farms in the Changfeng Plain, the people who went to work on the farms would only regard it as a place to work, and how could they really develop towns.

But after there is land there, the people who go to Changfeng Plain will have roots there. At that time, there is no need for Aslan to develop, and the people there will also take action spontaneously.

"My lord's thoughts, I may have guessed some, but I suggest that there must be an area requirement for reclaiming wasteland, and the amount of land acquired must also be capped."

Wilson stood up and said that this suggestion was immediately agreed by Essien.

Aslan nodded helplessly. After all, they were all limited by the rules of this world, and the interests of the royal family and nobles were above all else.

"Okay! I'll leave this matter to you, Wilson, to arrange." Aslan waved his hand, and acted as the hands-free shopkeeper very seriously.

Wilson nodded, accepting the order.

Aslan stretched his waist, and after finalizing the last few things, he announced the end of the meeting, then put on his knight helmet, and swaggered to the construction site to inspect.

Wilson and Essien shook their heads helplessly, looking at the documents in each other's hands, the workload was quite a lot!

"How are the students you train?" Essien asked weakly, feeling more tired as he got older.

It's not that I don't have enough energy, it's just that I have too much work.

Although the proposal was passed, it still needs to be re-polished and evaluated by the City Lord's Mansion, so naturally it will not be released so soon.

On this day, the sun was shining brightly. Aslan was wearing a knight helmet and was walking around the construction site.

The construction site is not large, covering an area of ​​only more than 400 square meters, and it took a few turns to go around. The construction site is not chaotic. This is Aslan's strong request. A tidy construction site can reduce many safety hazards.

The construction speed of the construction site was much faster than I expected. It took only a few days to build the walls of the first floor.

This was also the reason why Aslan had to follow up on it himself, because if he didn't pay attention, the wall would tend to tilt or shift, and he had to rework it several times.

Fortunately, there are so many people. In such a small house, Aslan actually asked a dozen people to start work. As long as the direction is good, the efficiency is faster than expected.

With such efficiency, Luomen, the 'architect' cultivated by Aslan, contributed a lot. Looking at the large-scale buildings, he patted Luomen on the shoulder.

"It's done well. After this building is completed, you will be the chief architect of Melo Town. I will give you a salary increase."

Hearing the salary increase, Luo Men couldn't help showing a look of surprise on his face.

"Thank you Lord Lord for the gift!"

"Today's main task is to pour the cement on the roof of the first floor. After the cement solidifies, we can start construction on the second floor." After thanking Aslan, Luomen immediately reported on the next task.

The construction of the new building has aroused the attention of many people. The new and unusual house shape is completely different from the construction technology they are currently aware of. It is very novel and surprising.

With his hands behind his back, Aslan looked at the small building in front of him with a smile on his face. He already had very rich construction experience in his previous life, but seeing a new building slowly taking shape in his hands, he felt an indescribable sense of pride. born.

A war horse neighed, attracting the attention of many people. The sound was powerful and powerful, which was not possessed by ordinary war horses.
