Chapter 95 96 Population Breakthrough

Chapter 95 Population Breakthrough

After the intense offensive rhythm ended, Luo Ning's pace of life slowed down again.

Although the days in Ziguo Village were not as comfortable as those in Shanlin Town, in order to teach Horn the two planting methods of mulberry tree cutting and layering, Luo Ning needed to spend a lot of time and patience to demonstrate, especially the latter method, which he had only seen others use, but he had never tried it himself.

In the past two days, Luo Ning also inspected the reclaimed fields in Ziguo Village, and selected ten acres of land to plan them as mulberry planting bases.

Mulberry planting also requires ridge cultivation, and compared with wheat planting, the ridges of mulberry trees need to be higher. Luo Ning taught this method to Horn in advance, and told him that when planting, the distance between two plants should be kept about 80 to 90 centimeters.

Oral teaching is ultimately just a guide. The specific extent to which the expansion of mulberry tree planting can be implemented depends on Horn's operational ability.

Seeing that the other party is very serious and is making detailed records, there should still be some expectations.

Luo Ning did not expect this to be completed within a year, which was not very practical.

He was only seventeen years old this year, and time was on his side. He had a long time to improve the conditions and eventually bring silk out of this mountain forest.

Three days later in the afternoon, Luo Ning, accompanied by Horn, came to the northernmost part of the Ziguo tribe.

The Wubei forest was not small, and there was a large area further north, but there were no humans living there, let alone wild tribes.

"That is to say, there were some nobles who fled and took their people to the north, and took root there to form tribes like yours. But later, these tribes disappeared?"

Luo Ning stood on a high slope, looking to the north, and he seemed to see the sea surging with waves on the horizon.

It is said that the north of Wushan Territory is surrounded by the ocean, but it has always been undeveloped, which is not common.

Logically speaking, shouldn't the seaside be more prosperous?

For example, the Pointed City in Wushan Territory is the seaport city of Wushan Territory. Port Dennis connects Wushan Territory and the Kingdom of Alduin. The trade is very frequent, and the tribute to Wushan Castle is unknown every year.

It is a bit surprising that the north is surrounded by the sea but has not been developed.

He spread out the map and took a look. It may be that the protruding area in the north is too "isolated overseas", and the trade routes with other places are very long. In addition, no very profitable development objects have been found, resulting in no human footprints in the north.

"Yes, sir!"

Horn said: "I went to the north to explore at the beginning. There are indeed traces of human activities there. I saw wooden houses, stone houses, and many white bones on the ground, but more human figures were not found."

He recalled, and a trace of panic appeared on his face, "I feel that the disappearance of people there is not normal, so I dare not go deeper."

Is that so?

Roning frowned and looked at the guard officer McKen who was guarding beside him.

The latter understood, "Don't worry, sir. When I have time, I will take people to explore all the land in the north and mark out the dangerous areas in advance."

Roning nodded, "Ziguo Village has been safe for these years. Even if there are any dangerous areas, the impact is not great. Let's consider the exploration after you are promoted to Bronze Knight."

"Okay, sir."

Horn stood aside and listened to the conversation between the two masters and servants, feeling strange in his heart.

It is not easy to be promoted to Bronze level. Some people will be stuck at this stage of senior knights for a lifetime.

But listening to these two people talking, it seems to be a done deal, and even a very easy thing.

Could it be that this McKen has reached the edge of a breakthrough?

Horn remembered the scene of McKen's complete abuse of Slaine a few days ago, and nodded secretly in his heart. It is really possible.

"Da Da Da~"

The sound of horse hooves sounded, and several people couldn't help but look up, but saw that it was Irene and Jenny riding horses.

Ronin left three of Slaine's war horses to Jenny's family. They have been learning riding skills these two days, and now they seem to have mastered it well.

Soon, two horses came to the crowd.

Irene turned over and dismounted lightly, smiling and said: "Brother Ronin, your political officer Wilson is back from the Gray Earth Tribe."

After a few days of getting along, the little girl Irene still couldn't resist the temptation to call her brother, and finally called out.

"Oh?"

Ronin smiled, "It seems that Wilson has registered the people of the Gray Earth Tribe."

"Yes, sir."

Jenny turned over and dismounted, "Wilson said he would report to you about his work. In addition, Juweit has also brought back a large bag of the Gray Earth Tribe's specialty 'Gray Earth' according to your instructions."

The specialty of Qingzhu Village is bamboo, and the specialty of Ziguo Village is sericulture. Ronin really wants to know what the "Gray Earth" specialty of the Gray Earth Tribe mentioned by Baburin and others is.

"Then let's go back."

Roning couldn't wait any longer, so he took Irene's horse and rode on it. "Little Irene, do you want to get on?"

Irene blushed, hesitated for a moment, and then said weakly: "I, I'll just ride my mother's horse."

"Hahaha~"

Roning laughed. Playing with children can still bring him some fun, but it's a pity that the little girl is too young.

"McKen, come back with Irene and the others."

He turned his horse's head and galloped towards the village.

Soon, he came to the living room, where Wilson and Zhu Weite were waiting for him.

As soon as Roning came in, the two of them hurriedly stood up to greet him.

Zhu Weite said, "My lord, Rydar asked me to tell you that everything is going well in the Gray Earth Village. All the people in the village already know that you are their master. You can come to inspect at any time."

"I know. You have done a great job to stabilize it in such a short time!"

Wilson handed over the sorted booklet, "My lord, this is the census result of the Gray Earth Tribe. Compared with Qingzhu Village and Ziguo Village, the Gray Earth Tribe has more craftsmen."

He introduced, "I have asked, there are three carpenters alone, one of whom should be about the same level as William. In addition, there are two masons and a lot of strong men."

Roning laughed. The Gray Earth Tribe is indeed much stronger as it sucked blood from its allies.

"Wilson, your ability is getting stronger and stronger."

He praised and took the booklet.

As soon as the parchment was in hand, the system text appeared in front of him——

[“Prosperous Population” achievement achieved, attribute points +50, energy essence +100]

The population of Huitu Village is 455 people. Together with the population of Shanlin Town, Qingzhu Village and Ziguo Village, the number of people Luo Ning has now reached 3,180, exceeding the 3,000 mark required by the achievement.

Luo Ning opened the achievement interface and the information on it was updated:

[Prosperous Population]: The registered population of the territory has reached 5,000 people, reward: attribute points +100, energy essence +200

The number requirement has not increased much at one time, only 2,000, which does not seem to be difficult.

If Luo Ning conquers the Black Collar Tribe and buys some slaves, he may be able to complete this achievement.
