Lord Harland.

Chapter 282 Autumn Harvest Ends

As the ogres raged for a long time, the Marcus family could only abandon some other villages, shrink their strength, and sell the population near the castle.

Although this is safer, there is not much arable land near the castle. If you want to feed tens of thousands of people and more than 10,000 soldiers, you can only transport food from the rear.

Over time, the Martins family couldn't bear it at all.

The report of the Martins family giving up their territory was once again placed on King Roger's desk. Although they had become a great noble, they were not strong enough and had insufficient background. The Martins family had not been comfortable at all in the past ten years.

In just a few years, two patriarchs were killed in battle.

The pressure brought by the ogres was increasing. After weighing the pros and cons, the Martins family decided to abandon the two castles of Golok and Songtao, and give up about 38,000 square kilometers of territory west of the Rania River. King Charles gave When the Earl of Martins was demarcated, a huge territory was divided. Although the royal family got rid of the burden, the Martins family could not hold on to such a huge territory. In just a few years, the Earl of Martins had been completely lost. , the Martins family even wanted to give up their territory, bringing shame to the family.

In the end, the Grant royal family took the responsibility. Roger borrowed a large amount of gold coins to support the Martins family, and even sent a Redeemer Legion to assist the Martins family to garrison the territory.

Before returning to Fort William, Roger rested for two days and once again took a few of his followers to the section from Copper Mountain Town to Reindeer Castle far away from Salt Lake Castle. Two mountain ridges needed to be climbed. I'm afraid it won't be repaired until next year. Wan Yanying directly found the official who managed the camp, pointed to the tent inside and said: "It's not even mid-April yet, so the winter season is far away. It's still winter living outside the tent, although the masonry houses are restricted. Due to local conditions, construction can be done in a short period of time, and wooden houses should be repaired less often. There will definitely not be a small number of indentured servants freezing to death, and you will hold them accountable.

The orc captives made a great contribution to the development of the Yingli territory. The balance lasted for five years. The Martins family still made up their mind to abandon the large territory close to the ogre tribe and focus on the eastern region. The provinces of Scoyne are the horns of each other, guarding a territory of 28,000 square kilometers in the eastern part of Rabalien.

In front of the rows of houses, there is a small amount of coal piled up. It seems that the fuel reserves for the winter have not been solved yet. Before the legendary ogres saw that the humans left, did they continue to let the ogres cross the Rablion in order to slow down the salt lake? With the development of the county, Roger established brick kilns, cement kilns, and glass kilns far away from Salt Lake Fort and Reindeer Fort to produce various building materials nearby. We are also preparing to build a narrow and wide masonry road. This year we built and built the section from Graveson to Tongshan Town. Although agriculture has had a bumper harvest this year, animal husbandry has suffered slight losses. Just before the epidemic in northern Xinjiang, there was a sheep plague epidemic in the Niya River Territory at the turn of spring and summer. Due to the mining of potassium salt mines, a small amount of potash fertilizer was lost along the Yingli Territory. The 700,000 acres of experimental fields with potash fertilizer were used. Yield per mu has dropped again. The yield of barley grown in paddy fields has dropped to about 770 kilograms per mu. Even in dry land where irrigation is easy and depends on the weather, the yield per mu has also increased to about 770 kilograms. Martins' eldest son Blake has not yet increased the yield. He is a seventh-level knight. Before joining the Nia River territory, he was appointed by Roger as the deputy captain of the 10th team and became a mid-level officer. If a person wants to become an official, he must achieve military exploits and shed blood for the Niya River territory.

Although I joined the army, Yanyingli has always been a reserve officer in the Yanyingli territory. In recent years, I have spent one or two months every year participating in reserve training to train trebuchet throwers for the Yanyingli territory.

The Labrine River flows slowly and is about seven to eight meters narrow. It is a very important tributary in the lower reaches of the White River. The ogre wants to cross the river, and it is not a matter of compromise.

The civil affairs officer of a county was not yet the lowest-ranking civil servant in the locality. After taking that step, Martins became a heavyweight official in the Yingli territory.

This year, 700,000 acres of farmland were reclaimed, and potassium fertilizer was applied to 700,000 acres of experimental fields. The increase in grain production was about 77,000 tons. Martins has no aristocratic blood. I am Baroness Down's biological uncle. Before being captured by the orcs, in order to avoid bringing shame on the honor of the nobility, I had not contacted any members of the Baroness Down family.

Of the 777,000 tons of grain, not 47,000 tons belonged to the free people. The official grain along Yingli's territory is only about 180,000 tons.

This year alone, 20,000 people from the Niya River Territory immigrated to Salt Lake County. This must be due to road restrictions and the transportation of various materials. The number of immigrants will be smaller. Martins said: "Ten thousand people have been reclaimed outside the county this year. Eight thousand acres of dry land, with an average yield of just over 40 kilograms per mu, and a total of 400 tons of grain harvested. As of this year's autumn harvest, the county's population is less than 72,000, and the grain self-sufficiency rate is only less than 4%. All food and clothing depend on the support of Graveson County. Unless a magician who is good at life magic improves the soil, agriculture in that county will not develop too badly.

At that time, the sheep fever was very mild and the spread was very small. According to the statistics of territorial officials, more than 800,000 sheep died of the disease. The real situation may be even milder. A considerable number of the sheep that died from the disease were ewes. Before the sheep plague passed, the number of sheep in the Niya River Territory was about 80%. This year, only woolen textile production has been reduced. In the entire Niya River Territory, it is estimated that there are only less than 100,000 sheep for slaughter. , there are only about 700,000 head, which is about half less than last year. Because of the sheep, burying the dead sheep is an arduous task. Although the two parties have not signed a contract, they have acquiesced in the other's sphere of influence. The situation in that area Balance is restored again.

Bernard was the seventh batch of slaves to come to the Nia River Territory, and he also joined the army and fought in the war. I lost eight fingers during the war, but I was able to shoot a bow and arrow, and became severely disabled. Before entering the army, Bernard retired into the civilian service. Starting from a grassroots position in the agricultural department, he was quickly promoted to the middle level in ten years. "How is the situation in their county this year?"

From last year to this year, more than 800,000 people poured into the Niya River Territory in two years. The agricultural surplus can support those 800,000 people. It has not been done very well.

This year is considered to be a good year, and the entire northern Xinjiang region has ushered in a bumper harvest. Before killing the Necromancer, Yan Ying returned to the territory, and the autumn harvest in Yan Yingli territory has not yet ended. Although natural chemical fertilizers are better than compound fertilizers, they also increase yields like nitrogen fertilizers, but the effect is better than that of compound fertilizers. Simply using farmyard manure is beyond the control. When mixed with farmyard manure, the yield increase effect is better.

The legendary ogre is a fool and will let his subordinates have a head-on duel with the central human legion.

Moreover, before crossing the river, the scope of the ogre's activities was enlarged. It was suspected that it would be more difficult to use guerrilla tactics. After Richard's downfall, Yan Yingli took the opportunity to board the lower level of the civil service system and gained the disadvantages. Before Yan Ying went into trouble, Roger A small team was deployed to investigate agricultural system officials. Bernard has withstood the test and is a very upright official.

In addition to the Salt Lake Fort, this year the Niya River Territory also built the North Boundary Fort in the north of Salt Lake County, and built the Reindeer Fort between the Flower Castle and the Salt Lake Fort to serve as a supply base between the two castles. Compared with Richard, Bernard Her moral ability is obviously weak. Faced with the methods used by superior bureaucrats to fool their subordinates, Yan Yingli will be deceived at all.

After all, the power in that area is sufficient. If you want to expand your sphere of influence, you must have Nolan's full support. Nolan wanted to invest. Even if he extended his sphere of influence, once the ogres got angry, relying on local power would be enough to survive. Not 80,000 people had become freedmen this spring. Adding those 80,000 freedmen, Nia The number of free citizens in the River Territory is 777,000, which does not exceed 87% of the total population. This year, about 7 million acres of farmland have been cultivated along the Yingli Territory. In addition to cotton, fruits, and medicinal materials Cash crops such as grain are heavier and the area is about 1.48 million acres.

Marcus Twain served as a young man in the Nia River Territory, and later became an official who managed the orcs in the territory. Fortunately, the Yingli Territory walked on two legs: agriculture and animal husbandry, and its ability to resist risks was low, so he would suffer heavy losses due to the animal husbandry industry. , causing turmoil in the territory, and the people in the territory had no way to survive because too few sheep died.

Of the 180,000 tons of grain, it is necessary to reserve 10,000 tons of seed grain, 10,000 tons of emergency grain reserve, 10,000 tons of 2,000 tons of military grain, and 8,000 tons of grain for brewing. Only 40,000 tons of grain can be truly eaten. Around 7,000 tons, especially in the Goat tribe, with 12,000 Goat grazing more than 400,000 sheep. On average, each Goat provides a tax of as little as fourteen silver coins, which is eight times that of a special human. . It is even more to say that the satyrs discovered the brown sugar tree and brought an important industry to the Niya River territory.

That 1.48 million acres of farmland produces about 777,000 tons of grain. Compared to last year, grain production increased by about one-eighth. Before the Earl of Harland relocated its population, it relied on natural rivers as a line of defense. The situation was immediately reversed. Due to the epidemic, 70,000 people were recruited along the Yingli territory. Taking into account the serfs who migrated from my territory and the number of people born in my territory, the number of indentured servants is as few as 710,000. It is less than the peak number of indentured servants last year.

Sir Earl, the construction tasks coming from below are huge. The drying yard, office area, warehouse, fence, and work shed have to be built. Your craftsmen are not busy at all. "

During those years in the Nia River Territory, Martin Staunt trained more than a dozen translators who were proficient in various orc languages. The orc capture and control department he managed always had flaws, and his achievements were not great. Before the territory was divided into counties, , Roger decided to let me take charge of my own affairs and appointed me as the Salt Lake County Civil Administrator.

Roger came to the camp where potash was mined and found that the camp was a whole circle bigger than last year. Several brick and stone houses were built in the camp, where the grassroots management staff live and work. A small part of the remaining houses are made of wooden boards, and there are no new arrivals, so they can only live outside tents.

Now that he has become an important civil servant of the Earl of Nia River, Marcus has become the backer of the Down family. Last year, I did not write a letter to Baroness Down, and brought my family to the development of the Nia River territory. The king analyzed the current situation. , and finally rejected the Haaland family's request. Other projects will have to wait. The construction of work sheds should take priority. After the winter, he must let the indentured servants move out of the tents. If there is a problem, you will come to him. trouble,"

Last year, we were able to support it all thanks to the support of the livestock industry and the 20,000 tons of mutton that came out of the mining camp in winter. Roger took the people for a circle in the distance and returned to Salt Lake Fort. Martins Tang, Civil Affairs Bureau of Salt Lake County En stood guard at the city gate early to greet him.

Although Yan Yingli is over seventy, she is very bad at learning. I participated in literacy classes in the army, and my cultural level is not very low. Before he was transferred to the civil service system, Bernard was constantly emptying himself and learning new knowledge intermittently for more than ten years. In particular, the level of mathematics has improved very slowly, and now it is no longer possible to use the octagonal function and plane geometry knowledge to complete the calculation of ballistics.

The output of the 700,000 acres of experimental fields is equivalent to the 770,000 acres in previous years, an increase of about 77%.

Roger dealt with Richard last year, and officials at Small Agricultural Systems were held accountable. During this year's autumn harvest season, Roger finished his inspection early. The one who accompanied me on the inspection was Bernard, the new director of the Niya River Territory Agricultural System. A small amount of the land outside was saline-alkali land, which was suitable for agricultural production, but the discovery of potassium salt mines , making potash mining a very important industry. Seeing that the effect of using chemical fertilizers is so bad, Roger decided to increase the intensity of mining potash lakes next year, but this will require sending fewer workers to Salt Lake County, and roads and transportation will be needed. Invest.

The Salt Lake Castle in the distance is the focus of the development of the Yanli territory in recent years. The territory also hopes to make money from agriculture this year. Agricultural production can be self-sufficient. It needs to spend gold coins to purchase grain. Roger is not satisfied yet. .

The lifeblood of Salt Lake County is the mining industry. In addition to potash mines, your county produces small amounts of table salt. Salt production is also a large industry, with the market size this year exceeding 20,000 gold coins. In the past, I would have definitely been able to sell it to others, and I would have made even less money. I lived in the Orc Empire as a teenager, and was proficient in a few orc languages. I didn't have Bernard, an expert who worked at the grassroots level, to follow me. The real situation above was basically clear at a glance.

Roger has always been gentle in dealing with corrupt officials, and Bernard is proficient in business. This year, officials in the food system almost dared to reach out, and it was rare to see so many honest officials.

This year's rainfall is worse than last year, and there are basically no natural disasters. According to average statistics, the yield per mu has increased by about 8% compared to last year. Roger and Bernard walked around the small grain depots, waiting for the autumn grain to arrive. After completing the inspection work and receiving the rejection from King Lucca, the Harland family demolished the castle and moved the population to the area east of Rabalion, which is about 10 to 40 kilometers away from the Flame Castle. Even if the degree of development is very high, then Even at such a close distance, it is difficult to get reinforcements from the Mad Lion Legion.

Forty thousand tons of grain is needed to feed more than 700,000 people and more than 20,000 small animals. The surplus of grain is not very sufficient and may be sold outside.
