Chapter 347 Huge Harvest

Chapter 348 Huge Gains

After Elrond left, Chahar was the second person to come.

"Master, you are finally back!"

Chahar ran over from nowhere and was breathing heavily.

Luo Ning looked at the other person up and down. His former butler, now the financial officer of Wubei Territory, had improved his attire.

Although the original Chahar clothing was still decent, it was far less gorgeous than it is now. The fabric should be made of high-quality woolen cloth.

"I haven't seen you for two months. You seem to be in better spirits."

"hey-hey."

Chahar couldn't help but look at himself, and said helplessly: "I can't help it. I am representing Wu Bei Ling when I go out to run business. If you dress too shabbily, wouldn't it be an embarrassment to you?"

Luo Ning signaled Bella to pour some tea for Chahar. After the latter took a sip, he said: "Master, if you don't come back, I will be worried about the funds in the territory!"

"What, the money has been spent?"

He left thousands of gold coins in the territory when he left last time, so he probably won't run out of them all.

"That's not true, but in the past two months we have spent a lot on purchasing and renting a storefront in Muma City."

Chahar quickly explained: "And you may not know that the number of extraordinary people in Wubei Territory has now reached 24. According to the standards you set, the monthly remuneration needs to be nearly 280 gold coins, plus the expanded number of servants. , caravan, village chief, team leader, assistant..."

Faced with such a huge expense, Chahar always thinks about it every time he sleeps. If the lord doesn't come back in time, how should he explain the unpaid wages to these people?

It's okay for village chiefs, team leaders and the like, but he doesn't have enough confidence in front of those extraordinary beings.

In fact, Luo Ning currently spends a lot on territory personnel.

After all, in addition to Wubei Territory, there are also Boulder City and Waiheke Island. The total number of people in these places costs more than 500 gold coins per month just for remuneration.

"I will allocate another three thousand gold coins to you as a reserve."

Luo Ning said: "But you must also manage the fiscal revenue of the territory well. You must establish sales channels such as ironwood workshops, paper workshops, porcelain, cattle and sheep, fish and shrimps as soon as possible."

"I see!"

Chahar reported, "Two batches of Ironwood weapons and equipment have been sold to the outside world, and the gross profit has been more than 500. The other items you mentioned are still in stable production, and it is expected to be effective in more than half a year. "

"The nobles in the royal capital need more than seventy sets of silk dresses. This is their order."

Luo Ning handed the order to Chahar, "When you go back, ask someone to notify Ziguo Village and ask them to make it according to the pattern and try to complete it before June next year. In addition, let"

"Okay, okay, I'll let someone notify you right now!"

Chahar has been particularly sensitive to gold coins since he became a financial officer. At this time, looking at the order worth three to four thousand gold coins in his hand, his eyes shone.

The last person to come was Wilson, the Minister of State. It was said that he was presiding over the reclamation of paddy fields in the fields.

He could see that the lord valued "rice". In order not to affect next year's spring plowing, he paid special attention to these experimental fields.

"Sir, this is the population situation of the territory."

The population register that Wilson now submitted to Luoning was recorded on new paper produced in Hillwood Town.

When he uses this kind of paper, besides finding it convenient, he doesn't feel any heartache.

If you use parchment to register this information, you don't know how much money it will cost.

According to Chahar's story, this kind of paper will definitely sell well in the market. The lord is really a genius.

"During this period, Rognar transported back 25,000 people from your father, Earl Wiggins, and 10,000 people from Brilliant City, as well as two groups of slaves brought by Anthony and those who defected on their own. Freedmen, the population of Wubei Territory now reaches more than 55,000.”

"good!"

Luo Ning is very satisfied with this population growth.

Wiggins brought him 25,000 people at once, which was quite impressive in this matter.

However, more than 55,000 people may seem like a lot, but in such a large earldom, it is still too few.

Wilson continued: "These people have been distributed according to your instructions. Now the population of Shanlin Town, Sanfang Town, Black Earth Town and Swamp Town has exceeded 10,000."

As soon as Luo Ning took it, four lines of text appeared in front of his eyes:

[The achievement of "Prosperous Population" is achieved, attribute points +300, energy essence +600]

[The achievement of "Prosperous Population" is achieved, attribute points +600, energy essence +1200]

["Siege the City" achievement achieved, attribute points +400, energy essence +800]

["Siege the City" achievement achieved, attribute points +600, energy essence +1200]

He smiled happily.

He gained 1,900 attribute points at once, which was enough for him to break through and become a seventh-level transcendent!

Luo Ning called up the achievement interface and checked the new content of these two achievements:

[The population is booming: the registered population of the territory reaches 100,000, rewards: attribute points +1500, energy essence +3000]

"With the population of Boulder City, Chishan Town and Waiheke Island, I wonder if we can complete this achievement?"

He looked at the next achievement:

[Siege the city: own five towns with a population of more than 10,000 at the same time, reward: attribute points +1000, energy essence +2000]

The population of the four towns in Wubei Territory exceeds 10,000, plus Chishan Town and Boulder City, this achievement can be completed.

By then, Ronin's total energy essence will rise to a high level, which should be enough to support Elron to become an eighth-level magician.

If he is a magician, it will be more attractive to the outside world, and perhaps many magicians will join Wubei Territory.

"You did a good job on this matter!"

Ronin was in a very good mood, "Now that the population of Wubei Territory has increased dramatically, the construction team should hurry up to build temporary residential houses in the territory. In addition, there is another important thing, you have to organize people to prepare for the construction of docks and ports next."

Wilson's heart moved, and he thought of the visitor from Pointed City a while ago.

"Knights Krumi, Juwitt, and Sim are accompanying Baron Hammett and his party to find a suitable location for building a port. Now that nearly a month has passed, I wonder if there is any result."

"There should be a result soon."

Ronin ordered: "In a short time, Pointed City will send a group of craftsmen and experienced workers. When the survey results come out, you have people build houses and store food near the construction site in advance."

"I am already doing it."

Wilson has considered these things since meeting Baron Hammett. He has already made relevant plans, which can be regarded as a certain advance preparation.

Ronin briefly described the details of the cooperation with Pointed City so that the Minister of State has a bottom line in his mind.

"There is a new variety of food called 'potatoes' placed in the corridor outside. It will be planted in March or April next year. The planting process is similar to planting wheat, but potatoes need soft and breathable soil to grow, and they also need to keep moisture."

This batch of potatoes is similar to the rice Ronin collected before, and they all exist as seeds. After one or two years of planting and cultivation, it is possible to promote it on a large scale.

Wilson was still unsure about rice planting, but he didn't expect that there was a new crop. He suddenly felt a lot of pressure, and he was afraid that he would lose the seeds.

However, he couldn't complain to the lord, after all, these things were entrusted to him, which was a trust in him.

After thinking about it, he could only record all the precautions that Ronin said, and then plan a few more test fields to sow separately, so that eggs cannot be put in one basket.

After meeting with Elron, Chahar and Wilson, Ronin announced that he would hold a Wubei Territory meeting in the fortress hall of the Swamp Castle in three days.

This was not only a public meeting with the newly joined extraordinary people, but also an opportunity for him to formulate the next development plan for Wubei Territory.
