Becoming a lord in another world starts with farming

"If all the resources consumed before were used in one place, I am afraid that any disposal base would have been formed long ago, instead of being left in ruins everywhere like now." Owen said with some emotion, but he knew that there is no regret medicine in the world, and this This conclusion is based on the current situation. Earlier, he did not have the confidence to deal with emergencies. If there were any setbacks, he would have to run away. Therefore, he chose to open a branch base desperately just to have a safe place when he ran away. I have a place to stay and have the capital to turn over. It can be said that the original intention is quite humble.

How did the habit of rabbits digging holes and doing civil construction come from in the previous life? It was not because of insufficient hard power and insufficient mushrooms.

Now that we have the strength to resist certain risks, we need to concentrate resources to achieve breakthroughs and accelerate development in a certain aspect. This is an inevitable change in development trends.

Moreover, the iron ore from the Buffalo Territory, the timber from the Muzhai, the stone from the ruins, and the food from the Goblin Town are all indispensable for the development of the territory. Therefore, Owen's previous practice of using a hammer in the east and a stick in the west was not a waste, but a stick in the west. It is a resource point that must be developed for the development of the territory.

Thinking of this, Owen's mood suddenly improved, and his thoughts were no longer so extreme, because looking at it this way, he didn't seem to be such a waste.

Although the development of the territory has been full of twists and turns, fortunately, the progress value is continuously restored. The only limitations for Owen are the recovery speed and upper limit of the progress value, so as long as he does not die, there will be countless opportunities to make mistakes.

There is no better condition for entrepreneurs than this. After all, as long as the funds are constant, failure in starting a business is nothing. Failure is the mother of success. Having more stepmothers is also a strength.

Of course, limited by the current speed and upper limit of progress value recovery, and the continuous expansion of the territory, it seems a bit inadequate to rely too much on the system.

Even if the recovery speed of progress value is accelerated again, it is still far from enough for the increasingly large territory. In the future, population conversion alone will occupy a huge share of progress value, which will be long-term, not to mention that he has opened a lot of sub-bases. , you can’t just ignore it.

Owen realized that he had to make some changes and find a way to use the progress value more effectively, and use the progress value as an introduction to activate the development of the territory, rather than the main force.

In addition, the growth of one's own strength must also be put on the agenda as soon as possible. Yesterday, I almost got rid of him. No matter how effective the magic potion is in replenishing the soup, I can't torment myself like this. Moreover, if I drink too much and urinate a lot, I can't sleep well, and it is easy to be in a trance during the day.

Owen decisively ignored some of his own problems, coughed lightly, and then came to the hall.

The luncheon was not complicated, because Owen didn't like complexity, and when facing the three people in front of him, he didn't need to decorate himself with complicated aristocratic etiquette. What's more, he was the oldest here, so of course he had the final say.

"Try the white fish and snow crab. These are the specialties of the North Boundary River. You can't eat them elsewhere." Owen didn't eat and drink indiscriminately. Most of the time he just took a few bites, and most of the time he was shaking it. The wine glass pretends to be.

"It's so delicious!" Kelun said with ecstasy, completely forgetting that white fish and snow crab are regular ingredients in the territory. His wife cooks them every three days. If it weren't for the combination of various spices, it wouldn't be delicious. It’s time to get tired of eating everything.

However, Howard and his son sincerely praised it because they had never eaten it before.

If you want to transport the aquatic products from the North Boundary River to the border of the empire, even if you work hard, it won't take more than ten days and a half. After all, there are no stations along the way, and you can change horses but not people.

But after such a long time, no matter how delicious aquatic products are, they will turn into smelly fish and rotten shrimps, so the two of them who ate it for the first time were quite satisfied.

Owen shook the red wine glass, but he was actually observing the attributes of the three people.

Name: Kelunsi, age: 34, occupation: noble/swordsman, fighting spirit value 400/400.

Command 30, force 40, intelligence 50, politics 35, charisma 50.

Specialties: Quick thinking.

Skills: Primary fighting spirit.

Name: Howard, age: 39, occupation: knight/swordsman, fighting spirit value 550/550.

Command 50, force 55, intelligence 35, politics 30, charisma 35.

Specialties: Brave and good at fighting, guarding one's heart and self-denial.

Skills: Intermediate fighting spirit.

Name: Hogg, age: 17, occupation: warrior.

Command 20, force 25, intelligence 15, politics 5, charisma 15.

Specialties: Brave and good at fighting.

Judging from the attributes of the three of them, although Kelunsi's attributes have not reached the passing level, he is a talented person, especially with outstanding intelligence and charm attributes. He is very suitable for external personnel, such as reception, business, intelligence, etc. He can do all the work, even if the territory is expanded ten times, he will still have his place.

The newly introduced talent Howard also does not have the attributes to reach the passing line, but his specialties are good. Being brave means that he is not only brave, but also good at commanding operations. Otherwise, he will only be described as brave.

In addition, it is good to keep one's heart and self-restraint. Only a person who can keep one's heart can withstand temptation, which means he is worthy of trust.

Hogg is still young and his potential is not yet apparent, but even if he is not as good as his father, after a few years of training, there is still no problem in becoming a small town sheriff.

An all-rounder in foreign affairs, a qualified officer, and a reserve talent, Owen smiled with satisfaction.

"Baron Curranth, you have done well during this period. Whether it is the serfs you have brought back or the intelligence you have collected, they have played an important role in the development of the territory. Very good. This is your reward. You can be with us later. Where can I get Maya?" Owen took out the note he had prepared and handed it to Collens, who was full of gratitude.

Because the territory lacked a commercial foundation and had no place to spend the money, Irving did not use money as a reward, but a reward such as contribution points that was limited to the use of the territory.

With this note, Corens can choose what he needs from the territory's warehouse, including clothing, decorations, furniture, spices, weapons, armor, horses, and even soldiers and servants, but land is not included.

This did not surprise Correns, because he was very keen to discover that the lord was taking the path of monopoly.

In fact, both the emperor and the great nobles of the empire now want to have sole power, instead of enfeoffing the land and power in their hands as they abide by tradition.

The original enfeoffment system came about because everyone was starting from scratch. The so-called emperor and the nobles were more like taking the lead. They looked majestic, but in fact they were all supported by the small groups under them. Without the help of these small groups, they were just It's just a larger group.

Therefore, in order to appease his subordinates, consolidate the territory, and resist foreign enemies, he enfeoffed the surrounding land and asked his subordinates to contribute money and efforts to manage the territory. They only needed to pay taxes and perform military service on time.

The advantage of this is that it can invest all the manpower and resources at hand on the most valuable land in hand, and at the same time obtain a barrier. After all, if you want to attack their territory, you must first occupy the land of the surrounding brothers.

There was no need to waste manpower and time on management and taxes could be collected. When something happened, the younger brothers would bring their own dry food to help. Therefore, the enfeoffment system was very popular at that time.

Those who only knew how to hold on to power were naturally unwilling to work hard because the land they could control was limited, and their subordinates did not receive the benefits of enfeoffment. As a result, the system of exclusive power disappeared for a time.

But now and then, the current emperor and the nobles want to consolidate the land and power. However, due to tradition and fear of collective rebellion by their younger brothers, they use more secretive methods.

But in the Northland, there is a basis for independent power. After all, it is still a blank slate, so Corens is not surprised that the lord chooses to have independent power.
