Start as Inherited Baroness

Chapter 195: Huge increase in refugees

"Okay! I'm waiting for your good news.

This contains the Breathing Technique of the Fire Raider Knight. Take it and try it out. "

Simon nodded with satisfaction, went to the bookshelf on the side of the hall, pulled out a parchment, handed it to him, and said.

"Thank you for the reward, sir!" Carlyle immediately took it respectfully and responded.

"Well, go ahead, get ready and set off early." Simon nodded.

"Yes! I'm resigning!" Kyler responded and exited the Lord's Hall.

After that, Simon said to the guard beside him: "Go and call the political officer Mader."

"Yes! Sir!" The guard immediately took the order.

After a while, Mader hurried over, saluted and called: "Lord Baron, what do you have to say?"

At this time, Simon had prepared a wooden box with more than a thousand golden eagles inside.

"There are many golden eagles here. You can bring them to Carlyle. One thousand of them are for him to purchase slaves on his behalf.

The rest bought the goods he brought. "Simon explained.

"Yes! Sir! Please feel free to leave it to me and I will get the job done." Ma De promised.

“In addition, you recruit five hundred laborers from among the free people, both men and women, to expand the scale of the salt-mining and salt-making workshops.

Contact Yaman again and ask him to improve the defense facilities of the salt workshop after building the western outpost. Simon ordered.

"Yes! Sir!" Ma De said as ordered, then bowed and exited the Lord's Hall.

...

In a blink of an eye, half a month later.

On this day, Simon was discussing magic issues with Winnis in the study.

"This uplifting technique can only be learned by a mid-level mage at least... Hey! Oops!"

She was talking eloquently, but her expression suddenly changed and her face turned red.

Then a trickle of liquid flowed along the chair and onto the floor.

"The amniotic water broke!" Winnis bit her lip lightly and frowned.

"Quick! Call the doctor and midwife!" Simon shouted immediately when he saw this.

"Yes! Sir!" Chunlan was waiting outside the door to wait for the slave girl Yingxiao, and someone immediately ran to inform her.

Simon gently picked up Winis and rushed to the pharmacy.

"It's okay, Simon, I'm not afraid.

Don't be nervous. It's not a big deal to have a baby. "

Winis buried her pretty head in his arms. Although she frowned, she smiled.

"You are so brave..."

After chatting on the road for a while, they came to the pharmacy.

Simon placed her on the soft bed, nodded to her, and then stepped out, and the midwife and female doctor took over.

After a while, Winnis's cry of pain became more and more intense.

When it reached a high point, suddenly the cry of a baby came again.

The whole process only took about ten minutes, which was very smooth and shorter than Kailin's delivery time.

Not long after, the female doctor Mary came out and congratulated: "Master! Mother and son are safe, they are a young master."

"Congratulations, sir, the Huolun family has welcomed an heir!"

Before Simon could speak, Knight Mylan beside him immediately congratulated with joy.

"Well! Can we go in and have a look?"

Simon nodded and asked with a smile.

"No problem, the inside has been cleaned up." Mary said respectfully.

Simon then walked into the pharmacy room. Several maids were walking out carrying copper basins full of blood. When they saw him approaching, they immediately bowed and saluted.

He waved his hand slightly, and the maid walked towards the door.

At this time, Simon looked at Winnis on the bed, who also looked at him with a smile.

Winnie's face was a little pale, but she looked pretty good. She shouted: "Sir, we have a son~"

"You have done a great job." Simon walked over, smiled fondly, and reached out to use a healing spell.

"Well, give the little guy a name." Winnis breathed softly, and then said in a soft tone.

"Just call...Robert Hollen."

...

A few days later, Simon held a banquet to celebrate the arrival of a new member and heir to the Horan family.

All the knights, except the second sons of the nobles in the Three Mountains Territory, were present to congratulate him.

Simon ordered a dozen cows to be killed, and the slaves in the manor were rewarded.

After more than a month, the second sons of the nobles also received the news one after another, and sent people to send gifts and congratulatory letters...

In the blink of an eye, the crops planted last year are ready to be harvested.

Simon and Wyness inspect the territory hand in hand.

They walked out of Yongyi Town under the escort of the Guards. Soon after, they saw a large area of ​​golden farmland, with waves of wheat billowing when the breeze blew.

This scene is really pleasant.

"Lord Baron, in the past month or so, a large number of ragged refugees have arrived from West Gedi, including more than 10,000 men and women.

Most of them are willing to become your slaves, so the number of slave manors has now expanded to sixty.

The previously piloted work point system worked very well and has now been fully implemented. "

Naturally, the political officer Mader was accompanying him on this inspection, and he was reporting from Simon's side.

“Give them some good health and arrange for land reclamation.

By the way, pay attention to interrogation and investigation one by one, and don't let gangsters and vampires get in.

In addition, two thousand young men were selected from them and put into the army. All these two thousand slave soldiers were paid by work points. "

Simon said with satisfaction. He liked slaves more and more, and work points gradually became a kind of credit currency.

The current population of the Courageous Territory and the Fearless Territory, including slaves and freemen, is close to 60,000. It is really thanks to the riots in the West God Land.

Otherwise, the immigrants would never grow so fast.

These people are nothing to the two territories, and they can completely bear it.

After all, the two pieces of land together are more than 1,700 square kilometers after field measurement.

And the plains are suitable for farming. There are also more than 800 square kilometers.

At least more than one million acres of land can be reclaimed, which can support at least 300,000 or 400,000 people.

If most of them are planted with high-yield rye, they can even support 700,000 or 800,000 people.

However, this is theoretically true. In reality, people will suffer losses due to various reasons, and the fertility rate and population growth rate are not high.

With these populations relying entirely on natural growth, it may take nearly a hundred years to reach 400,000, and there must be no major disasters in the middle.

"Yes! Sir! Within half a month, I can select reserve soldiers with strong bones." Mad promised.

"Yes!" Simon nodded, looked at the golden field, and said nothing more.

He was not worried about the food problem, because compared with last year, business was more prosperous this year.

The number of caravans coming and going was several times that of the same period before.

Most of them were small and medium-sized merchants selling grain. Simon had bought more than a dozen of them, and now the warehouse was sufficient.

Even if there was no harvest in the fields, it would be more than enough to last until next year.

Although selling grain does not seem to make much money, the profit margin is high.

It is usually several times the price of the inland, and it is a necessity, never sold out, and can be sold in full every time.

Therefore, caravans pursuing stability like to transport grain.

These grains are generally transported from the three areas of the river bay, stream land and king's territory to the forest valley.
