Chapter 88: Offering a Strategy
Ronin had a certain understanding of the scale of the Purple Fruit Tribe in the previous conversation.
Although the population of this tribe is less than 300, it exceeded his expectations - including Jenny's family, the Purple Fruit Tribe has a total of 242 people and has reclaimed 806 acres of land.
In addition to planting some vegetables, most of the land is barley and wheat.
The reason why the Purple Fruit Tribe has such a large area of land is mainly due to the reclamation when the population was large. It is said that there were four or five hundred people living here at the peak.
Now there are less than 300 people left. Although the grain output is not high, there is relatively more food.
According to Jenny's prediction, this year's autumn harvest will harvest more than 30,000 kilograms of barley. With the wheat harvested before, and the stored wild vegetables, etc., the people in the tribe should have no problem surviving this winter.
Before deciding to change the wheat field to mulberry field, Ronin decided to wait until tomorrow morning to see the situation of the mulberry forest.
Although he now has silk cocoons in his hands, it is still a very difficult task to make silk from silk cocoons.
He knew the steps of cocoon boiling and silk reeling, but he had no spinning wheel or loom, so it was difficult to weave.
However, there were sheep in the territory, which produced wool every year. Many women would do some simple weaving work at home, and there were also tools such as spindles and looms (although they were relatively simple).
Although these machines and tools could not be used to weave silk, after all, the latter was more delicate and complicated, but sometimes cognition was more important than tools.
As long as they could understand that silk could also be woven, I believe that after a long period of trial, they should be able to weave silk.
Roning remembered that Tom's mother ran a tailor shop, and she should be more proficient in weaving. After returning, he could consider asking her to study the matter of silk.
Of course, Roning would help.
He had a unique understanding of sericulture, and the method of cocoon boiling and silk reeling was proposed by him as a leap from zero to one.
That night, Roning enjoyed a "sumptuous" dinner at Jenny's house.
There was a plate of ginkgo in front of Ronin, McKen and other extraordinary people. The subordinates were eating happily, but Ronin couldn't eat it.
It was mainly because of his preconceived notions that he felt that this thing was too heavy, so that he felt uncomfortable when he thought of the black pupa.
However, under Irene's eager eyes, Ronin still took a bite reluctantly.
I didn't expect that I didn't know until I ate it. I found that the fried silkworm pupae had a crispy texture, soft and fragrant.
"How is it, delicious?" Irene asked with a smile.
Ronin nodded and smiled: "Apart from its appearance, fried silkworm pupae are indeed a delicacy. I heard that it not only tastes good, but also has high nutritional value."
The subordinates sitting around also nodded while eating. They had never eaten such food before. This time they came to the Purple Fruit Tribe and tasted something new.
After eating and drinking, the two servants cleaned up the tableware, and all the extraordinary people gathered in the living room.
The dim candlelight vaguely illuminated the blurred faces of the crowd. They knew that the Baron would make the next battle plan.
It had only been less than two days since they left Shanlin Town, and they had already taken down two wild tribes. The speed was very fast.
"Our next target is the Gray Earth Tribe."
Luo Ning looked around at everyone, "But you also know that they have built fortifications, and the number of extraordinary people they have is more than that of the Purple Fruit and Green Bamboo tribes. If we attack by force, we will definitely not suffer no losses like yesterday and today."
His eyes finally fell on Jenny, "Ms. Jenny, I remember you said before that there was a way for me to save time and effort to take down the Gray Earth Tribe. I wonder what the method is?"
Irene, who was 1.42 meters tall, sat next to her mother and listened quietly to the conversation of the crowd.
Her eyes kept moving around the crowd.
Before today, she would not have thought that so many older brothers and uncles, even her parents, would respect the young man in front of her who seemed not much older than her. For the first time, she truly felt that the original status sometimes had little to do with age.
Finally, her eyes stayed on Ronin. This silver-haired boy was so attractive.
Jenny didn't know what her daughter was thinking at this moment. She was thinking about offering a strategy to the new master, which was also her token of loyalty.
"The leader of the Gray Earth Tribe is called 'Slaine'. His father was just an ordinary person who fled together, but he awakened the Dou Qi seed, and his strength has increased rapidly over the years. He is a 38-year-old senior knight, and his combat power is a little stronger than Horn."
Ronin couldn't help but look at Knight Horn. The other party was only an intermediate knight, but only a little weaker than the senior knight. It seemed that Horn was either about to break through, or his combat experience and skills were better than the other party.
It seems that Horn and Jenny's cultivation talents are not bad, no wonder their daughters have such good qualifications.
Jenny continued, "My Lord, you should know from Wharton and Dandy that our three tribes formed a tripartite alliance. When we were just established, we fought with the Black Collar Tribe several times. At that time, the tripartite alliance had more exchanges."
She paused, glanced at her husband, and then continued: "Slaine confessed to me more than once during the cooperation, asking me to leave Horn and live in his Gray Earth Tribe, but I rejected it every time."
Ronin couldn't help but touch his nose. Sure enough, things between men and women can happen anywhere, even between wild tribes with poor living environments.
He couldn't help but look at Jenny again.
Although her appearance was six points in her heart, it was not considered beautiful.
But in the Wubei Forest, she would definitely be ranked at the top.
And don't forget that Jenny is from a viscount family. Although the Frank family is now in decline, she comes from a real aristocratic family.
With a good appearance, aristocratic origin, and the fact that she is an intermediate magician, such a woman is very attractive to others.
It is indeed reasonable for Slaine, the leader of the Gray Earth Tribe, to want to be with Jenny.
The latter disagreed, perhaps because she and Horn had a very deep relationship and had a daughter, or perhaps she simply looked down on people like Slaine.
Roning glanced at Horn, whose expression did not change. He obviously knew about this matter, and it was even possible that Horn had fought with Slaine.
After all, Jenny had just said that Slaine was stronger.
How could such a result be obtained without comparison and fighting?
His eyes returned to Jenny, and Roning asked with a smile: "So, you are going to use the beauty trap on Slaine?"
Beauty trap?
Everyone's ears moved, and it was the first time they heard this word.
"Thank you for your compliment, sir!"
Jenny was a little embarrassed, "Although it's the first time I heard of the 'beauty trap', your meaning should be similar to my idea."
For a moment, Roning didn't understand why the other party suddenly felt embarrassed and thanked him.
After thinking about it, he realized that Jenny thought he was praising the other party's beauty.
"My Lord, Horn and Slaine have a very bad relationship."
Jenny continued, "Perhaps I can write a letter to Slaine, saying that Horn has been promoted to a senior knight, and is dissatisfied with being inferior to me and the humiliation he has suffered from him over the years. He seems to have changed and has imprisoned Irene and me like crazy. I hope Slaine can send someone to rescue us mother and daughter."
Horn looked at his wife helplessly. How could such an honest and simple man who loves his wife and daughter become a pervert?
But McKen was secretly shocked after hearing these words. It turns out that women's words cannot be trusted easily. Look at this plan, it's too tricky and cruel.
Roning nodded, and he knew that the other party's plan was like this.
But he was still a little hesitant, "Will Slayin believe it?"
"Yes!"
Jenny was very sure, "Slayin has always regarded himself as the leader of the tripartite alliance. He is an arrogant, conceited and stubborn person. The most important thing is that he not only covets me, but also sets his sights on Irene."
Her eyes were a little cold, which might be a natural result of her daughter's safety being threatened.
"After receiving my letter for help, he can not only kill Horn, annex the Purple Fruit Tribe, but also bring us mother and daughter under his command. He will definitely not be able to resist."
Roning frowned and looked at Irene who shrank into her mother's arms. He didn't expect there was such a story in between.
Now that I think about it, the reason why Jenny and her husband surrendered to me so straightforwardly was partly for Irene's safety, right?
However, no matter what the reason and purpose of their surrender to me was, Roning approved of the other party's strategy.
"Okay!"
Roning affirmed, "We can give it a try according to the strategy you said."
