That's very badass

Chapter 74 Channels
After discussing agriculture, Roland planned to talk about business matters, but was only made to smile wryly by Fox's heart-wrenching words.

Considering the poor road conditions and the absence of any rare resources in the area, it is really impossible to talk about business, but Roland still insists on opening some supplies of daily necessities such as salt and agricultural tools.

With a wave of his hand, Roland threw all these trivial matters to Fox, because of his previous development experience and familiarity with some nearby merchants, he can get better goods at lower prices.

Roland left him 5000 gold coins for development, and at the same time appointed him as the governor of Calradia City, and at the same time took charge of the training tasks of the new army.

After appointing Fox as governor, Roland discovered a system prompt that revealed that Fox had obtained the authority to recruit new soldiers and farmers.

Now that's all right, Roland simply left all the gold coins to him, and he only left a few hundred gold coins for emergency use.

Until the soldiers reach the third level, they will stay in the camp for training as new recruits. They will not be allowed to put on their battle robes until they reach the third level and become a skilled soldier, becoming a real warrior.

At the same time, Fox is also required to cultivate a medical corps for the entire army. The number is tentatively set at 200, and will also increase with the increase of soldiers. The ratio is tentatively set at 10:1, and they will also enjoy the same treatment as soldiers.

Originally, Roland wanted to ask for some women to be recruited, but considering that the wounded on the battlefield needed to be transported, treated, suppressed during surgery, and followed the march, all of which required a certain amount of physical strength, so he dismissed the idea.

As for the noble soldiers, they are trained as grass-roots officers. They will become squad captains and cooperate with the commander on the battlefield, making the entire legion more hands-on.

This is the job of noble soldiers, I believe they will do well.

At the same time, we are preparing for a large-scale construction project to build more houses to cope with the increasing number of residents.And expand the workshop, so that soldiers can wear familiar imperial weapons.

As well as the most important single dog solution plan, considering that the current development does require a lot of labor, Roland intends to suspend this plan.

But Fox raised an issue that needs attention, that is, the imbalance of the ratio of men to women.

The imbalance of male to female ratio means that only some people can have normal marriage and reproduction.This will lead to too many men, unable to find a spouse, which will cause social conflicts.

In the initial stage, there will not be much impact, but in the long run, this will inevitably have serious consequences.Those who have not found a spouse are unbalanced in their hearts, leading to crimes and social turmoil.

After Roland listened to Fox's opinion, he carefully considered it.

He decided to implement only a 7:1 ratio of men to women for now, that is, 70 men and 10 women per day, because some jobs, such as weaving clothes and raising livestock, are indeed more suitable for women.

Because the cultivation of feelings does not happen overnight, and now everyone has endless work, so there shouldn't be too many things to consider.

However, Roland still intends to balance the ratio of men and women first after the third month, that is, in July.

Fox agreed to Roland's request, saying that although there would be some pressure, he could still handle it well.

After discussing this matter, there is one more important thing, and that is to detect the traces of trolls.But this matter is carried out by Wallis Vasily.

Vasili soon came to the lord's hall.

"Tell me about the investigation of trolls, have you found anything?"

"My lord, I really discovered something about this. We found a man-made hole at the foot of a mountain in the Hengduan Mountains.

It's really a coincidence to say that, because there is a quarry next to it, so we didn't choose to explore there at first.

But once a soldier rushed there chasing his prey and found that he had disappeared in the empty quarry.

Through observation, he found a buried hole, where the animal made a hole and built a nest.Therefore, we also discovered the tunnel. "

This story is really bizarre.But since the trolls built a quarry there, couldn't it be that most of the city's stones were pulled out of the mountain?

Could it be that they had colluded with the orcs a long time ago?In other words, after being defeated by the First Empire, they had already begun to consider the way out, and built a city while digging the mountain.

It's just that only the trolls can know all this in the end.

But if they go in to investigate and are discovered by the orcs on the opposite side, then this place will be in danger.

Thinking of this, Roland asked anxiously, "Have you entered the tunnel to investigate?"

For a while, Andal, Mirron, and Fox also looked over, and looked at the four of them staring at him in a daze. Vasily was obviously stunned, and then reacted.

"No, my lord, we just explored the entrance of the cave, and found traces of digging on the wall, and also found brackets for storing torches.

There are also a lot of spider webs, which should have been unused for a long time.I didn't find any light on the other side either, presumably that side was either buried, or it didn't get through in the end.

But we ended up backfilling that hole and camouflaging it. "

"Well done, Vasily, you have considered everything comprehensively. I can't find any flaws from any angle, so don't be nervous."

Seeing Vasili's nervous look, Roland walked up to give him a hug, and then solemnly said: "Sit down, I have worked hard for you during this time. I took all the horses away, all thanks to your palms." Your investigation, this is what got rid of the last piece of heart trouble for us, the rise of Calradia must have your credit."

"My lord, my subordinates dare not claim credit. This is the duty assigned to me. I have the obligation to complete him well."

Regarding Vasily's modesty, Roland was a little bit dumbfounded, "Excessive modesty is pride, Vasily. Not rewarding meritorious service is not conducive to the development of the army. I am going to set up a scout team. There are 100 people temporarily, so it's up to you Be the captain."

Seeing that the adults said so, Vasili had no choice but to salute and said: "Yes, my lord, dare not obey."

Roland then took Vasily to sit down with him, and after introducing him to the new governor and chief instructor of Calradia, he told him that he must select scouts and be ready when there is a shortage.

But considering that there are no candidates with skillful riding skills among the infantry, this matter only falls on the noble soldiers.

It has to be said that the noble soldiers are really suitable for the scouts. They are physically strong, skilled in riding, observation, memory, adaptability, and independent survival. All these aspects have good conditions.

It's just that in terms of ordinary appearance, he is a little weak, so he is not very suitable as a spy, but as a scout of the army, he is indeed very suitable.

At the same time, Roland made up his mind that he must explore the passage tomorrow. It took more than 200 years to dig through the entire Hengduan Mountain Range. It must be said that these trolls have great perseverance.

If there was a passage leading to the orc prairie, Roland might have to block him, even if it was filled with soil or stones.He must also get rid of it.

It's a pity that there is no such good thing as a bomb in this era, otherwise it will collapse once it is blown up.

It's just that this will always leave hidden dangers. It seems that a stronghold around the entrance of the quarry will be built around the quarry to guard against the orcs!
