Chapter 421 Meeting (I Will Make up Another Chapter Tomorrow, I Am Driving Back to My Hometown Today Ovo)

"Okay, deal!"

Elquet nodded with satisfaction: "We will camp nearby these days and start exploration work. When the agreed date comes, we will notify you. When the time comes, please bring the silver key and come to meet us."

"It will take some time, no problem."

Field agreed immediately, just giving Night Territory a chance to breathe. The shadow of the previous war has not been completely dispelled, and Night Territory needs to recuperate.

"By the way, Mr. Field, if possible, we can start trade." When talking about trade, Elquet immediately changed his face to that of a businessman. His face, slightly brown due to sun exposure, immediately showed vitality. "Trade wherever you go, the whole world is a trading partner."

"Why not, I respect the tradition of commercial countries."

Field gave a thumbs up. The goods of Night Territory can also be sold to them to make a quick buck.

After the verbal contract, Field led the team to leave, and Ashina carefully covered the rear, cleaning up all the footprints of everyone leaving to prevent the other party from following.

After returning to the territory, Field immediately called everyone to a meeting and made a series of arrangements.

First, in terms of the army, the army was reorganized, and the previous guards, border troops and the direct army of the Night Lord were disbanded. Soldiers who performed well in the border battle were promoted as cadres and reorganized into the First Army and the Second Army of the Night Lord, each with 500 people.

One hundred heavy cavalry and one hundred looting cavalry, temporarily organized separately.

As for the temporarily recruited militia, each went back to their own home and each found their own mother.

Of course, the army is not full now, and it takes some time to replenish the troops, and training also takes time.

"This time the ore exploration mission failed, fortunately the casualties were minimal. We investigated the course of the incident, mainly because of the sudden attack of the corrupted beaver, and the command of the convoy was relatively immature and reckless."

After not finding the Holy Light Ore in the original lake, they should not have gone upstream.

Fortunately, the Night Lord's army did not fight to the death from beginning to end, but hid in the chariot formation, preserving most of its strength. Seven slaves and one soldier were sacrificed.

"Sergeant Newt commanded the whole process properly and is still transferred back to the First Army. As for Miss Alexia, continue the course in Night Territory. In addition, assist your father Tate in managing slaves. Many slaves will come to Night Territory in the future."

Originally, I wanted Alexia to be the village chief, but now it seems far from enough.

"Yes, sir."

Alexia bowed her head silently, but compared to before, she was much calmer and had a sense of a big sister, not a little girl before.

Field sighed secretly: Night Territory lacks someone who can stand on his own.

"Now let's talk about the internal affairs and economic issues of the territory." Field turned the page.

"Sir, I've thought about it. We got a lot of food in this battle, so much that the warehouse can't hold it."

Butler Kao raised his hand and put forward this sweet burden: "Now the weather is hot, without qualified warehouses to store, the food will easily go bad. Perhaps we should export some food. I heard that the three western provinces are suffering from famine, and there are also a large number of displaced people in Rick Province. We can make a lot of money!"

The food stored in the border fortress alone is enough for two or three thousand people to eat for a quarter. Later, they plundered the three outer territories, defeated the rebels, and seized a large amount of baggage. Simon also sent some.

It can't be eaten up, it can't be eaten up at all.

"But, but those poor people don't have money to buy food." Tisifa pouted sadly. As a believer of Holy Light, he couldn't bear to see people suffer. "We can donate some, and everyone will praise your kindness."

Ashina didn't care: "I would rather the food rot in the Night Territory than donate it. Why didn't our soldiers have any support when they were bleeding and sacrificing their lives?"

Field nodded secretly, without refuting anyone's words.

"Are you afraid that there is no place to use the food? Now Starry Night City is an empty city. We need population, a large population." Field gestured with a feather pen twice, "This time I purchase slaves, I want the territory's population to reach 5,500 people."

"So many people."

Kao's face fell immediately. Now the territory has about 2,800 people, and the lord wants to double the population. It can be foreseen that he will be busy in the coming days.

"It's not that I don't want to send food to those in need, but it's difficult to implement. Due to the loss, taxation and exploitation along the way, I'm afraid that only half of the ten bags of flour will be left after being transported." Field gently rejected Tisifa's proposal.

"Sorry, I just want to help the suffering people." Tisifa sighed.

"Let's do this, we can absorb some victims. Women are worth a bushel of rice in troubled times. The three western provinces and Rick Province are suffering from famine, and women and children are bound to be unlucky. I will appoint Alexia to take in women and children. If there are technicians who are proficient in iron smelting, weaving, brewing, etc., bring them back. The number will be set at 800."

Most of the civilians in Night Territory are men. When Field bought them to work, he naturally chose male slaves.

Now that they have become free people and need to marry wives, let's see if we can bring some refugees back.

"This is good, this is good."

The various non-commissioned officers of the military looked happy, and they were worried that the soldiers had no partners.

Tisifa showed a grateful expression. As long as she could help the poor people, she felt very happy.

"Sir, I promise that I will not disappoint you this time." Alexia was almost

"That's right, sir. We harvested so many supplies this time. We can put them in the Night Territory market." Charlotte, who had been busy farming, rarely made suggestions. "Many people complain that the price of food is too high. If we put more food in the market, it will go down."

"That's right." Field cast an encouraging look. "Clothes, furniture and daily necessities should be put in the market at the most favorable price as a benefit for the territory. But for food, just put a little bit, and reduce the price by 10% or 20%."

"Why?" Charlotte leaned back slightly, looking confused.

"Because we need to keep prices stable, the price of food changes from time to time, and the people will worry. In addition, the harvest will come soon."

"No farmer wants to see the fruits of his hard work suddenly become worthless."

Field explained: "Even after the harvest, we have to buy some food from farmers."

"By the way, starting with this batch of slaves, the cost of redeeming them as free citizens is no longer the original one gold coin."

"Ah? My lord, you are not going to make it free, are you?"

Kao jumped up from his chair.

"Of course not, I want to increase the redemption price. It was originally one gold coin, and now it has increased to two gold coins and fifty silver coins." Field smiled, "After all, we can't let outsiders enjoy the fruits of everyone's labor for free."
