Reincarnated as a boss tyrant in the game

“Your Highness, regarding the raw materials…” Countess Fiana asked softly, her voice tinged with a hint of imperceptible caution and anticipation.

Sauron smiled warmly upon hearing this and said, “As for raw materials, animals can be used in addition to people.

During this period, I have decided to station two crossbow cavalry units here.

And I have a suggestion: I hope you can vigorously promote the planting of purple melons on this land.

The purple melon vines can be used as feed for livestock, and as long as we harvest them moderately, it will never affect the harvest of the purple melons.”

Countess Fiana's eyes instantly lit up, sparked by the legends of purple melon yields that she had long been familiar with.

However, the purple melon seeds brought by His Highness the Crown Prince and the new nobles were like rare treasures, unable to meet the needs of the Northwest directly-administered territories, let alone the Stamm region on the border.

“At least another year is needed before there might be enough surplus to spread the purple melon seeds to Stamm, after two consecutive seasons of good harvests.” She calculated silently, unable to hide her sigh for the fate of the remote and impoverished land.

Sauron and the new nobles placed great hopes on the planting of purple melons, but they could not hide the worries in their hearts.

This small purple melon is not only food, but also a lever that can leverage the local economy.

Sauron's plan was far-reaching and ingenious; he not only exerted pressure on the old nobles militarily, but also laid out precise chess pieces in the economic field.

The large-scale planting and marketing of purple melons was undoubtedly a heavy blow, directly hitting the economic lifeline of the old nobles.

With the widespread promotion of purple melons, the old nobles' advantage in grain production would no longer exist.

The emergence of this new crop would not only shake the existing grain market, but could even lead to the collapse of the grain price system in the Northwest region.

This was undoubtedly a heavy blow to the old nobles who relied on grain trade as their main source of income.

At that time, the Imperial Capital Bank would come forward to play a key role, further consolidating the position of the new nobles by purchasing the surplus purple melon seeds from them, while weakening the economic strength of the old nobles.

Under such a strategy, the old nobles would have no choice but to obey Sauron's orders obediently within the next two years, and their resistance and independent will would be completely suppressed.

Sauron's ambition was not limited to military conquest; he knew that economic control was equally important.

By forcing the old nobles to bow their heads through economic means, he could more firmly grasp the power of the entire Northwest.

The promotion and planting of purple melons is expected to greatly promote the development of the Northwest region.

With the increase in food supply, the population growth rate is expected to increase, and at the same time, a new wave of population migration will also be attracted to this land full of opportunities.

Under Sauron's rule, the Northwest region will usher in a new era of prosperity.

The only thing Sauron needed to worry about was being recalled to the Imperial Capital by Emperor Gustav before everything was on track, and all his efforts would be in vain.

Countess Fiana had a bitter look on her face as she carefully requested Sauron: “Your Highness, can you allocate a batch of purple melon seeds to the Stamm region so that we can keep them as seeds?

The earlier the purple melons are planted, the more beneficial it will be to the development of the Stamm region.”

Sauron's eyes flashed with appreciation upon hearing this, and he quite admired Fiana's pragmatic attitude.

“Okay, the next batch of supplies from the Imperial Development Chamber of Commerce is expected to arrive in Fuljia City tomorrow, and I will specially allocate purple melon seeds needed for about five thousand acres of land to you.

In addition, I will also give you two thousand fertilizer bricks as a gift.

This will be considered a token of my appreciation for Your Excellency the Countess.”

Sauron's generosity exceeded Fiana's expectations, and she was slightly stunned, with a brief look of blankness in her eyes.

Originally, she only intended to express her difficulties in order to obtain some purple melon seeds within a year.

Now, she not only received purple melon seeds for five thousand acres of land, but also an additional two thousand fertilizer bricks, which was undoubtedly a pie in the sky, making her feel a little dizzy.

Fiana's heart was filled with gratitude, and she knew what such a gift meant for the Stamm region.

This was not only a reward for her personally, but also an investment in the future of the Stamm region.

She quickly regained her composure, bowed deeply to Sauron, and said in a slightly trembling voice: “Your Highness's great kindness, Fiana will always remember it in her heart, and the Stamm region will definitely live up to Your Highness's expectations, vigorously develop agriculture, and contribute to the prosperity of the empire.”

Sauron said with a smile: “Haha, I am very much looking forward to your performance!”

Sauron's stay in Stamm City was short, and he returned to Fuljia City after only one day.

Compared with the prosperity of Fuljia City, Stamm City, although possessing towering city walls, had a population of less than one-tenth of that of Fuljia City, and the city's facilities were also quite backward.

It was more like a military fortress, solid and deserted, than a city.

His Highness Crown Prince Sauron's battle record was undoubtedly brilliant, and he demonstrated outstanding military talent in the battle to expel the orcs.

According to statistics, Sauron's army killed a total of 15,000 orcs in this battle, including no less than 7,000 high-level orcs, and even an eighth-order orc leader.

Compared with Prince Corin, who liked to take credit for killing innocent people, Sauron's victory this time was a truly meaningful victory.

When the triumphant Royal Guards Knights returned to Fuljia City, they were warmly welcomed by the people of the city.

Sauron's return not only brought the joy of victory to Fuljia City, but also gave people hope for the future of the empire.

His military talent and generosity and kindness won the respect and love of the people, and the subjects of the empire began to believe.

Under Sauron's leadership, the empire will usher in a new golden age.

“Is that His Highness Crown Prince Sauron?” A young girl in love covered her mouth with her hands and screamed loudly.

A young woman on the second floor threw her handkerchief at Sauron first, but the handkerchief was picked off by the sharp-eyed Jennifer with one shot when it approached Sauron.

“Your Highness the Crown Prince, you are so mighty!”

Sauron could only shake his head and smile wryly at the enthusiastic young girls and women in the city.

Jennifer slowly approached Sauron and said softly: “Your Highness, you have not yet broken through the sixth order!”

Facing Jennifer's reminder, Sauron said in a voice that only Jennifer could hear: “Don't worry, when I break through the sixth order, you will become the first woman I have.”

Jennifer's cheeks turned red and she distanced herself from Sauron.

“Your Highness, you’ve gone too far.”
