Being a lord in another world begins with farming

Chapter 47 Disordered Male to Female Ratio

Back in the study, Owen took out his notebook and started writing and drawing.

A good memory is not as good as a bad pen, and Owen is not a genius with a good memory. In addition, he is left alone for a long time, so if he doesn't write down important things, he doesn't know when he will be able to remember them.

The record this time is about Maya's strengthening. The strengthening of the adventure not only allowed him to get a powerful and durable assistant, but also allowed him to prove some things, but it was not enough to use it on himself. Simply put, Owen's goal is more Big, so he won't lose the big because of the small.

"I still need to wait patiently. Fortunately, my age has an advantage." Owen first sighed, and then said with some gratitude that he is not yet 20 years old and can afford to wait.

However, although the T virus is easy to use, it must not be abused. Owen is very cautious about this. Otherwise, he will not not exchange any cheap and easy-to-use biochemical monsters such as the Licker Tyrant. A mage or a wizard finds out that if a magical version of Resident Evil is created, wouldn't they all end together?

Don't think there is any difference between Faye and the scientists in the previous life. They are also a bunch of daring bastards who would not hesitate to drag the whole world to gamble. There is nothing in this world that they dare not study, and even outside the world can't stop their curiosity Heart, so Owen is sure that once the T-virus is discovered by these people, there will be big troubles in all likelihood.

Therefore, Owen only used the T virus as a means of basic strengthening, and then covered it with the blood of the Gorgon, erasing the traces of the T virus, and even carried out everything in the synthesis furnace, and destroyed all traces afterwards.

Although the synthesis furnace is a magical product, it can be used as a creation that can be synthesized at the level of material genes and souls. Although its function is single, it is powerful and terrifying. A mere virus is really nothing, otherwise Owen would not dare to exchange T. Virus.

This matter came to an end, and Owen wrote a summary in his notebook, waiting for the second experiment.

Right now is the critical juncture of spring plowing, even Owen can’t leave everything behind and go to the secret room of the dungeon to see no one, so he is also busy under the coercion of Maya, adjusting the exchanged materials in the town center every day according to the report sent by Maya, From time to time, he has to act as a consumable for the other party's excessive energy after being strengthened, which makes him burnt out, short of breath and weak. If it weren't for Dale's skill improvement and a bowl of nourishing soup every day, Owen doubted whether he would die suddenly.

Fortunately, the development of the territory is getting better and better, and finally appease his injured young heart.

Regardless of Owen's messy things throughout the year, the development of the territory has not stopped, it is still developing in an orderly manner, and there are traces to follow, which is completely in line with the achievements that a lucky and capable lord can achieve.

In particular, the existence of Maya has become the most reasonable explanation.

The origin of Maya cannot be concealed from those who are interested. The confidant of a powerful female countess in the empire, named the chief maid, is actually the chief executive. At the peak, the power he held was not inferior to an ordinary count. Even if he was dispatched to the remote northern border, as long as he Using a bit of the power left to her by the countess back then, even if the local lord is a pig, she can fly.

Owen, who doesn't think he is a pig, is trying to learn how to handle official duties, because he is not willing to just be a ruthless exchange machine.

Fortunately, with the increase of territory system buildings, Owen's exchange pressure was much less, but he soon faced more problems.

With the development of the territory, the problems we have to face are not fewer and fewer, but more and more. Before, we only needed to meet the needs of farming and enough food. Now, in addition to building small towns, expanding farmland, and building water conservancy, we also need to develop The local economy and maintaining the balance of the number of men and women in the territory are all issues that he needs to consider and solve.

There are no major problems in the first three items. With the gift of the autumn harvest last year, the serfs in the territory worked desperately. With the increase in the number of farmers, there is really no shortage of manpower to work, especially with the magic horn forest The timber stored in the village in winter, and the free stone obtained from tearing down the city walls, at least until the materials are exhausted, the construction of the territory will maintain a fairly high speed.

The latter two are somewhat troublesome. The population of the Northland is too small, and the free people in the territory have just appeared. There is no economy to speak of. The grocery store built last year is still just a decoration.

As for the imbalance of male-female ratio, we also need to pay attention to it. With the abundance of food in the territory, serfs and peasants who were originally hopeless will definitely start to think about the issue of reproduction.

The problem is that the ratio of men to women in the territory has reached an exaggerated nine to one, nine men to one woman, this is not suitable for any division, and there are already some bad signs, Owen does not want one of the two oldest occupations of mankind to be here Recovery, let alone the establishment of Thebes Holy Legion in the territory.

In addition, the headaches for Owen are not limited to these. For example, the territory lacks minerals and coal. At present, only simple repair tools are available. Most of them still rely on his exchange. This is definitely not a long-term solution.

In terms of minerals, there is an iron mine in Baron Buffalo’s territory. The reserves are not clear, but the quality is good. He has seen that there are very few impurities, and the iron content is at least seven or eight layers. After a little refining, it can be called crude iron. It can be seen that the rough processing methods of the barony can produce some inferior weapons and equipment.

The problem is that the Buffalo Baron has a descendant who has escaped. With the blood of the other party, it is very possible to seek revenge from the barbarians of the Northland. Therefore, it is not enough to send miners to mine, and there must be enough troops to guard it.

It is useless to go to guard the troops if it is too small, and the gain outweighs the loss if it is too many, so Owen has not sent anyone to mine, but he can't delay any longer, and he will take action this year.

As for the coal mines, you can go to the Magic Horn Forest to look for them. Those Magic Horn Goblins are also idle, so Lord Demon King will move them.

However, after thinking about it for a long time, Owen decided to focus on spring plowing at present, and asked Currens to take the convoy to Mara Town to exchange for a batch of serfs and livestock first, and the rest can be postponed.

It is very easy to find Currence. He is also in the center of the town, but he has no specific position now. He has been serving as Maya's deputy to help handle the affairs of the territory, but he is more of a messenger and supervisor, because he has no specific duties for the territory. He really can't get in the way, Maya's ability is too strong, and her aura is also very terrifying. After all, the viscount and baron in front of her were only obedient, let alone a down-and-out nobleman, so he would stay in many times. The town center waits for Maya's order.

But Cullens was not reconciled to this, because this was not what he wanted, and with the rapid development of the territory, his heart became more and more urgent. Finally, the opportunity he was waiting for came.
