Being a lord in another world begins with farming

Chapter 27 Territory Changes
Unknowingly, summer has passed. Although the sun is shining, the temperature is not so high. Riding a horse against the wind, Owen feels quite comfortable. This is related to the fact that he only wears noble hunting clothes instead of armor. Wearing a heavy iron guy on the body, no matter how good the craftsmanship is, it will only be tired after a long time.

But this time it was not for a ride. Owen quickly focused on the territory. He hadn’t paid attention to the changes in the territory for a long time. It was usually managed by Maya. I didn’t expect her to do a good job.

Under Maya's arrangement, the serfs learned how to farm from the system farmers one by one, and now the serfs in the territory have mastered more perfect farming skills.

The original cultivation method like casting nets was completely abandoned, and large flat and orderly farmland appeared on the territory. The nearby river water was drawn in and irrigated into the farmland, so that the crops could be adequately irrigated, and a bumper harvest was about to be ushered in , Even without freedom, the serfs still smiled from the bottom of their hearts.

In fact, these serfs are not good at farming, and many of them are farmers in the empire. To say that they don’t know how to farm is pure nonsense. Maybe their farming skills are not as comprehensive as those of the system farmers, but they are certainly not too bad, otherwise He had starved to death a long time ago, but whoever had the miserable experience of being a refugee and was forced to sell himself as a slave, and was sent to the bitter cold northern border as a serf, would not be able to cheer up, let alone the physical damage caused by traveling all the way north. The loss has not been made up, and it is only hell to have the energy to intensively cultivate.

But now, not only the farmland looks decent, but also the village is gradually perfected with their efforts. Not only are there strong fences, but the original simple grass sheds have also disappeared, replaced by neat and uniform farmhouses. Already a good start.

In addition to three meals a day during the busy farming season, two jobs and one sparse, it is not very good, but it is enough to fill the stomach, naturally a little bit of hope, and began to work hard.

Owen is very satisfied with the changes in the territory. It is not in vain for him to hand over the territory to Maya for management, and it is not in vain for him to reward the other party day and night. Now that the other party is so moist, he has a lot of credit.

However, during this tour, Owen also had troubles. As the crops in the farmland began to mature, and the harvest was not far away, there were more wild beasts and robbers in the wild.

Although wild beasts don't eat food, they eat people. Seeing that the weather is getting colder, predation will only become more and more difficult. Humans who can't run fast and have little hair are obviously high-quality food, which will inevitably attract wild beasts to gather.

Thinking of how many times Maya told him that the scout cavalry found wild beasts and robbers during this period, Owen couldn't help frowning.

"It seems that the territory needs to add some more cavalry." Owen slowed down, let the horse under his crotch walk forward slowly, then turned his head to look at the cuirassiers behind him, and said in a low voice.

Although cuirassiers are cost-effective, they are more suitable for charging, rather than chasing in the wilderness.

As for the scout cavalry, although they are fast, they are not suitable for fighting. They can at most drive away robbers and wild beasts. Over time, the effect will definitely become worse and worse, and they may even be counter-killed.

In this way, the light cavalry who were originally despised have a place to use.

But when you think about it carefully, the light cavalry is not very suitable, because the light cavalry mainly relies on a one-handed sword to attack, and it is barely enough to cut people, let alone a beast with a low chassis and more flexible movements, it is easy to capsize, so Owen set his sights on the horse archers.

The horse archers are worth three points of progress. They are archers who can ride horses. They will dismount and shoot arrows after they reach their positions on horseback. They have not mastered the skills of horseback riding and archery. It is not very meaningful to exchange them.

Real cavalry archers are worth five progress points. They are real masters. Not only are they good at riding, they can also use recurve bows suitable for riding and shooting. They are all good at flying kites, and they are not easy to deal with robbers and wild beasts.

Owen knows what to choose without thinking too much, but he needs to wait until he exchanges for a synthesis furnace to exchange for cavalry archers.

In addition to patrolling around the castle, Owen also took time to visit the Magic Horn Forest.

The development of the wooden village is very slow. After all, there are still too few people. Fortunately, General Goblin stayed here with many monsters during this period. Although he was not good at building, he still had no problem logging and hunting, which solved a lot of troubles.

However, General Goblin will not stay here for too long. It has been looking for traces of the Horned Goblin. When it finds it, it will definitely mobilize the whole army. By then, the wooden village will remain the same.

After writing down in his notebook the need to replenish manpower and supplies to Muzhai, Owen returned to the castle.

Reading books and studying puppets, and letting Maya move by herself, Owen spent a period of time full and empty.

After finally waiting for the progress value to reach [-], Owen, who had weak legs, couldn’t wait to come to the secret room of the dungeon, but Maya, who became more and more moist, didn’t care about it. Preparations for autumn harvest.

The autumn harvest is a big event for any territory, and there is no room for sloppyness. However, the entire territory has no shortage of serfs or soldiers, but there is no one who can do grassroots management.

Originally, Shire was okay, after all, he had learned to serve the church, but after coming here, Owen completely regarded her as the leader of the guards and served as a knight, so she became more and more self-indulgent. She was not riding a horse to practice martial arts all day long, but was training those soldiers. , except for the maid dress that is more decorative, she doesn't look like she is serving a maid at all.

Thinking of this, Maya went to the window and saw that Charles was practicing martial arts in the open space.

Because of Owen's relationship, Charles, who has found his life goal, does not need to diet or control his body shape. Now not only is he half a head taller, but his weight has also increased by tens of catties. From all aspects, he has reached the limit of human beings. , even the tough Northland barbarians might not be able to withstand her casual punch, so her weapons are also in line with the character design, and the heavy two-handed hammer is used as a one-handed hammer, which is no one.

Under Maya's headache-looking eyes, Charles wielded the warhammer vigorously. The target made of solid wood can be used as firewood with one hammer, and a room can be demolished with just a few hammers.

The corners of her eyes twitched, and Maya gave up the idea of ​​pulling Shire back to the right way of serving the maid. With just this arm and leg, the three cows might not be able to pull her back.

"Ram, open record No. 27." Maya closed the window, ready to arrange for people to work.

There are not too many affairs in the territory, and the robot puppet maid is very easy to use. Maya has not too many things to deal with. The only problem is that she has to go to arrange everything in person, because there is no suitable manpower to replace him, so In order to prevent mistakes, she needs to keep an eye on the whole time, which is why she looks busy.
