Chapter 85 Rapid Development

129, April 4.

Bay Village.

The last old wooden house was completely demolished.

In the next few days, a row of neat, sturdy two-story wooden houses will be erected here.

Looking around, the square and square houses embody indescribable beauty and order.

In the open space around the house, thousands of kobolds were busy.

They are digging drainage ditches and sewers in advance to prepare for the construction of more houses and neighborhoods.

The changes in the village are staggering.

The scene outside the village is amazing.

Even though I was there, I witnessed a series of changes.

Jifan still felt a little incredible about the scene in front of him.

The endless reeds outside the village have turned into fields that store water.

From time to time, people would drive cattle to dig up the soil under the water and pull out the remaining plant roots.

Looking at the square acres of land, Ji Fan felt a sense of refreshing anticipation.

"In the future, there will be fields that belong to me here, but I don't know how to plant them..."

Tom scratched his hair and laughed happily. Even if he was a little dazed, he could still realize the importance of these fields.

"Don't worry, there will be people dedicated to farming the fields belonging to the soldiers, and we can get 80% of the harvest."

Ji Fan, who remembered it quite clearly, looked at the black smoke slowly rising in the distance.

The busy farmers have begun to cultivate new wasteland again.

"It's break time, keep going!"

Captain Sean's resounding order sent Ji Fan and Tom back to the team neatly, and their walking demeanor already revealed their well-trained temperament.

Aware of the neat steps of the soldiers lined up at the rear, Captain Xiaon was extremely emotional.

In just over 10 days of training, he was able to achieve such outstanding results. Captain Sean, who knew how much he weighed, showed infinite admiration for the lord.

"Such a magical training method, the lord showed it without any care. Why is this?"

Vaguely hearing Captain Sean's words, Matthew smiled nonchalantly and said:

"Why else? Because other people can't learn it at all!"

Why can't others learn?

"It's not because, Lord, you have given too much to the soldiers!"

Butler Ralph, who was calculating expenses, couldn't help showing a little bit of anticipation. He looked at the majestic soldiers gathered into the barracks and continued to think and summarize:

"Lord, we currently have 320 soldiers, and the next selection will be in a week."

"Last month's salary expenditure was 80 gold coins, and the material expenditure was 70 gold coins, totaling 150 gold coins."

Matthew turned to look at the burly barbarian soldiers, sizing up their sturdy muscles and howling ghosts, and the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up slightly:
"It's just a bounty for three trolls. It's a great deal to use to train soldiers."

"As long as these soldiers are here, we can formulate development plans as we wish and implement them with powerful means!"

I couldn't help but nodded, and Butler Ralph also tasted the sweetness of this.

These loyal, elite, and easy-to-train soldiers became the best representatives of the lord's authority.

It is precisely because of the existence of these soldiers that hundreds of adventurers will not be so obedient.

However, Butler Ralph had a lot of resentment towards these disobedient barbarian soldiers.Matthew seemed to see through his thoughts, pointing to the strong and healthy instructor Arnold in front of him and said:

"With sufficient food, good treatment, family expectations, and rigorous training, I don't believe these barbarian soldiers can't be trained."

"Even the kobolds are obedient. I believe they will recognize the reality!"

The Lord's undoubtedly domineering remarks made Butler Ralph feel very satisfied and happy.

The Lord is very kind and generous, but he also has the determination to control everything!

Opening the next account, Butler Ralph continued to report:
"Last month, 42 new factories were opened, recruiting a total of 1679 workers."

"The manufacturing scope of the factory covers all daily necessities in Bay Village. The total expenditure is 140 gold coins, the income is 60 gold coins, and the goods stored are 540 gold coins."

The factories that spent a lot of money to recruit talents have basically taken the form of light industrial manufacturing.

What satisfies Matthew the most is that he has gradually made civilians accustomed to work, and they have become workers without knowing it.

"There are currently 32 land reclamation teams with a total of 3250 people."

"A total of 4500 acres of land were reclaimed last month. If the number of people reclaiming land continues to grow next month, it is expected that 14000 acres will be reclaimed!"

Looking at the flat fields, Butler Ralph nodded with satisfaction, very satisfied with the results of the land reclamation team.

The old village chief Field next to him was dumbfounded and stammered to himself:

"4500 acres were reclaimed last month? 14000 acres will be reclaimed next month. Is this really possible?"

The old village chief Field clearly remembered that before the lord came, the entire Bay Village had only 12000 acres of farmland.

This is the accumulation of decades of continuous development. In less than two months, will the area of ​​cultivated land double?
The unspeakable ecstasy made the old village chief Field so excited that he could not control himself. Looking at the endless wasteland in the distance, he suddenly felt unspeakable heroic ambition:

"Perhaps from now on, wherever you look, we will see our fertile fields!"

Although it was difficult for Butler Ralph to understand the old village chief Field's deep affection for the land, it did not prevent him from understanding the importance of cultivated land to the territory.

Arable land that can produce food is the most basic and important wealth of a territory.

The more cultivated land is developed, the higher the income of the territory will be, and the more people can be accumulated!

Speaking of population, Butler Ralph was even more excited.

"The current total population of Bay Village has reached 7782."

"There are another 2700 kobolds. The first batch of kobold eggs is about to hatch, and there will be 1 kobolds, who will reach adulthood in 100 months."

"There are still 576 registered adventurers and 678 troll captives."

"Since last month, the territory's population has grown by about 5000 people. From now on, it will grow by about 2000 people every week."

Looking at the neatly arranged new wooden houses, the old village chief showed a little bit of expectation, and then said as Butler Ralph:
"It will take three months for the first batch of people to officially join Bay Village, but their willingness to settle is very high..."

The reason is very simple, the lord gave too much!
Whether it's a temporary house, land you can get when you settle down, or a development path to learn a craft, etc.

For most civilians, it has a fatal attraction.

Ralph and Field looked at each other, feeling a tacit understanding of cooperation, and gained more confidence in the rapidly developing territory.

"Last month, the total expenditure was 46500 gold coins, the total income was 49500 gold coins, and the current balance is 3000 gold coins."

"The income is higher than the average barony, and comparable to the overall revenue of a city."

After looking at the development results of last month, especially the harvest of "pharmaceuticals", Matthew felt quite satisfied.

"Sure enough, this is an extremely fragmented world. The value of magic items far exceeds the value of ordinary materials..."

"Magic is the primary productive force!"
