Chapter 193 Continuous Achievements

The next morning, Galil escorted the prisoners back to Wushan Castle.

After returning this time, with witnesses, the crime committed by Leisen should be undeniable.

However, it is foreseeable that it will be very difficult to eradicate the Skull and Bones Society through Leisen.

Although these days, Ridal has interrogated Feridon and learned that Leisen contacted the Skull and Bones Society through Viscount Tiny of the Purple Thunder Territory.

But it is unlikely to drag the Purple Thunder Territory into the water based on Feridon's explanation alone.

First of all, the Purple Thunder family has an extraordinary status, Viscount Tiny himself is a powerful knight, and his daughter is married to Barrington, and his grandson is the heir of the Hyde family;

Secondly, verbal accusations are too unconvincing. In the absence of other evidence, Viscount Tiny can completely say that this is a rumor and slander by Feridon, and he can just refuse to admit it.

Unless Leisen can provide evidence that Viscount Tiny cannot deny at all.

However, in the communication with Purple Thunder Territory, Viscount Tenny did not have anything substantial in Leisen's hands.

Even in the assassination of Ronin, the other party only passed the message verbally through Feridon, and even the verbal message was only one sentence, without involving specific details.

Regarding the matter of Purple Thunder Territory, Ronin only reminded Galil of friendship.

As for how to judge Leisen in the future and how to track down the Skull and Bones Society, these are things that Wushan Castle needs to consider.

After Galil left, Mas and Baron Talen of the Horse Herding City also said goodbye.

Their mission was actually completed when Ronin arrived at the Swamp Castle. The reason why they stayed here for two more days was entirely out of the friendship of the Iron Hoof Family.

Now that Ronin's men have taken over the defense here, they have no reason to stay any longer.

After sending these two groups of guests away, Ronin basically spent the next two days on patrol, and therefore he had a better understanding of this territory.

The Sean Territory is actually a swamp.

The south, west and north sides of the place are surrounded by high and low mountains and forests. In addition to a road in the southwest corner leading to the outside world, the only traffic is the small road in the north leading to the Black Collar Tribe.

The terrain is flat when going east from the Swamp Town, but the wet ground, coupled with large and small lakes, rivers, quagmires, and dangerous creatures that often appear, make it difficult for people to move.

And even if you go east through the swamp, you can only reach the seaside, where there are no human cities.

So over the years, the area where Lei Sen and his subjects have been active is estimated to be around hundreds of square kilometers around the Swamp Town.

Swamp Town is located in the southwest corner of the entire Sein Territory, and this location is much more convenient to the outside world.

The area where the subjects in the town live is basically concentrated in this place.

On the one hand, the land in the south is relatively dry, which is more suitable for living than the wet swamp mud;

On the other hand, the only 67,000 acres of arable land in Swamp Town are all concentrated in this area, and it is convenient for farmers to live here and work.

When Roning heard that the cultivated land in Swamp Town was close to 70,000 mu, he was happy.

After all, up to now, the cultivated land in Shanlin Town has just exceeded 30,000 mu, and Swamp Town is more than twice that of Shanlin Town.

But when he thought of the population of Swamp Town and the per-mu grain yield in this world, the smile on Roning's face disappeared.

More than 60,000 mu of cultivated land sounds like a lot, but in fact, if all of it is cultivated, the harvested grain can barely feed the tens of thousands of people in Swamp Town.

The reason is that the grain yield is too low.

In the years that Lei Sen has been running Swamp Town, although he has been operating the black buffalo industry based on the swamp, and at the same time cooperating with the development of aquatic products, fishing and hunting so that he does not have to worry about not having money to buy grain outside, the problem of insufficient cultivated land has always existed.

Moreover, if Lei Sen wants to quickly expand the population of Swamp Town, this problem must be solved.

But he did not find a solution, or he did not think about turning the swamp into arable farmland.

Perhaps for Lei Sen, instead of turning the swamp into arable land, it is better to directly raise fish and shrimp, which can be used as food when hungry and can also be sold for money to exchange for other materials.

So after many years of entanglement, he turned his attention to outside the Sean Territory, and then he joined forces with Prince to occupy the food of Shanlin Town and conquered Joffrey to occupy the Black Territory.

Roning rode on the Cloud-Stepping Horse, looking at the vast but flat swamp, and couldn't help sighing: "Lei Sen, Lei Sen, you really don't know what treasure is."

There are many areas in this swamp that belong to low-lying swamps.

The surface of this kind of swamp is flat and low-lying, and its peat layer is relatively thin and rich in nutrients. The peat in the swamp can be used as organic fertilizer.

This vast swamp is like a huge, natural organic fertilizer base for Roning.

And low-lying swamps like this can become fertile farmland once the water is drained.

Lei Sen was completely unaware of this, and instead took the risk to invade other nobles' territories, which was a bit of a waste of time.

Luo Ning believed that as long as these organic fertilizers were used reasonably, combined with the planting techniques he taught Wilson and others, the grain output of Swamp Town would definitely increase compared to previous years.

"Before the spring plowing, let Wilson organize people to mine peat to fertilize the farmland."

Luo Ning turned his horse around and ended his inspection of the territory, returning to Swamp Castle in the afterglow of the setting sun.

"Sir, Wilson has been waiting in the study for a long time."

Butler Chahar has adapted to the new environment. In the past two days, he has taken care of the Swamp Castle in an orderly manner. Even the newly recruited servants have begun training.

"How is the new castle?" Luo Ning asked casually.

Chahar unabashedly admired: "It's more spacious, more majestic, and more solid than Shanlin Castle! Master, maybe this place is more suitable for your status."

The Viscount of Wubei Territory must have a decent castle to live in, and Shanlin Castle is really a bit shabby.

"I'll consider relocation."

Luo Ning understood what the housekeeper meant, but many of his craftsmen and industrial arrangements were in Shanlin Town, and in terms of living environment, he still preferred Shanlin Castle.

While the two were talking, they had arrived at the spacious living room, where political officer Wilson and his assistant were waiting there.

"Sir, you are finally back!" Wilson and others quickly stood up and saluted.

Luo Ning smiled and signaled that everyone should not be too restrained, "Come here to see me. Has the census been completed?"

"Yes, my lord!"

Wilson took a stack of parchment on the table and handed it to Luo Ning respectfully, "A total of 9,856 people in Swamp Town are registered. Please take a look!"

Luo Ning's eyes lit up, and the population of Swamp Town did not disappoint him.

"Good job, everyone!"

As the parchment was taken over by Luo Ning, two lines of text jumped out of his sight:

[The achievement of "Prosperous Population" is achieved, attribute points +100, energy essence +200]
