The Second Era, June 1.
Athens has gradually recovered from the war of the orcs, and the new decree has attracted a large number of free people. The effect brought by Murphy's reputation is becoming more and more obvious, and the population of the entire territory has begun to gradually increase.
The harvest of winter wheat has begun, and all the goblin slaves have been mobilized.
The buildings in the city are now close to saturation, and what Athens is now rebuilt with the newly added special building - the Arc de Triomphe.
The construction of the Arc de Triomphe requires a large amount of marble and many craftsmen who specialize in carving. The Greeks are good at sculpture, so there is no need to worry about craftsmen. However, the problem of marble is still quite troublesome, because there is no marble in the Athenian territory. If you want to get enough marble to build the Arc de Triomphe, Murphy had to send people to buy it at a high price from the rear of the southern plains.
The income from the trade between spirits and other trades is OK, although it consumes a part of it.
However, there is no problem to support the construction of the Arc de Triomphe for the time being. As long as you harvest this year, you will be able to get a large amount of funds from the Centaur immediately.
It was around 4:10 p.m.
The *** lieutenant of the Governor's Office excitedly delivered a piece of food to Murphy.
This was the first batch of grain harvested. Murphy asked him to take ten acres of land to make statistics, then calculate the average value and send it to him.
He wants to estimate how much food income this year.
"Governor... Governor!" An old *** official looked unstoppable joy. He quickly trotted to Murphy, handed a book of statistics to his hands, and said excitedly: "Great harvest! Great harvest!"
In this primitive and barren era, food is the most important wealth of every race, and it is no wonder he is so excited.
This year's harvest was long as Murphy expected. Because of the abundant field of Athena, the goddess of wisdom, and the natural phosphorus fertilizers present in the island, it would be unreasonable if it was not a good harvest this year. However, after seeing the grain output per acre of land written in the report, he was still very surprised!
Because the grain output of the ten acres of land that were first extracted and harvested was really amazing!
Among these ten acres of land, the highest yield per mu is 900 kilograms, and the lowest yield per mu is more than 700 kilograms. Although Murphy's acre division is equal to 1,000 acres per square kilometer, which is 1.5 times the area of acre of land in his previous life. However, if you count it now, the grain output in Athens can reach between 500 and 600 kilograms per mu. Such output is no longer just a word of harvest in this primitive and barren world!
It can be said to be a miracle!!!
You should know that the grain output in other areas of the southern plains is probably only a little more than half of what it is now.
Murphy's heart was also thrilled when he saw this number, and he couldn't help but show a hint of joy on his face.
Sure enough, for a good harvest, there must be fertilizer!
If it weren't for the natural phosphate fertilizers on that small island, I'm afraid that even if there was a bumper harvest, this year's grain output wouldn't have such an amazing output!
This is undoubtedly very good news!
Because this means that after the food in Athens is supplied to the centaur, there will be a lot of surplus!
……………………
Even if the cultivated land developed in Athens is not counted as those small lands, the finely cultivated fertile land is 50,000 mu. Even if it is calculated according to the lowest standard in this set of data, 700 kilograms of land per mu, 50,000 mu of fertile land is 35,000,000 kilograms of grain.
Murphy took the pen and calculated it, and just looking at the rows of zeros behind him, he couldn't help laughing.
Fifty thousand mu of fertile land, 17,500 tons of grain!
This is just the yield of winter wheat crops, and it has not been included in the yield of other crops such as corn, potatoes, etc. within one year.
This data!
It has already given Murphy enough confidence to raise soldiers!
It can be said that this kind of grain output is enough, and Murphy immediately pulled out an army of 50,000 people and could afford it.
Moreover, after the territory expanded.
Athens' next plan is to open up wasteland on a larger scale. After all, the total territory of the territory has reached more than 7,000 square kilometers. Although the mountain forest occupies a relatively large range, there are also many plains that can be cultivated. And next to it is the Nidoria River. Even if the land on both sides of the river is not fertile land, it is also a middle field. As long as it can be reclaimed, it is probably not a problem to double the grain income next year!
You have to admit that the farming ability of the land on both sides of the river is really amazing.
Many ancient civilizations originated from both sides of the river, and it is not without reason. Just within all the territory of Murphy, as long as it can be reclaimed, there is enough population to farm, and feed hundreds of thousands of people and millions of people is not a problem!
population.
When Murphy thought about the population problem, he couldn't help but feel a headache.
Although many indigenous people with free people have been attracted by Athens' new decree law recently, this speed is limited after all. And even if Athens is now famous, it will take a lot of time to spread the decree law. This is not considered that other people in the noble parliament deliberately made this news in order to prevent the decree from passing away.
Although the population absorbed by Athens increased by more than 2,000 in just half a month, this base is compared with the territory it currently owns.
Still too few!
Not only is it too few, it's just not enough to watch!
Population, land, food.
One of the most precious wealth of this era, although the number of goblin slaves can be greatly improved after the output of food, the wisdom of these goblin slaves is limited after all, and it is okay to let them do some hard work, but it is a bit too much to let them grow crops. Unless their wisdom is doubled directly.
Now the news of the orc retreat has just spread.
It is probably not long before a group of refugees who originally belonged to this place will be moved back. After all, there is a saying that "it is hard to leave the hometown", but how many refugees can come back under the control of the noble parliament is also a big problem.
Murphy estimated that it would be considered as if he could absorb at most 10,000 or 20,000 people.
After all, it's been so long.
I'm afraid that most of the 200,000 people who escaped from the occupied areas have settled behind the southern plains.
Population!
Murphy is now a little reluctant to go to the Olympus gods to discuss it and see if they can get all the people from the Greek Peninsula directly.
But this idea is just to think about it.
If Murphy really did this, he wouldn't dare to do it. After all, if this could be true, I'm afraid the Olympus gods would have done it long ago.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Everything is busy continuing.
Murphy had no experience in harvesting and farming arrangements, so he could only hand over all this to General Jerry Rivad. I believe that with his genius attributes and management ability of up to nine stars, there should be no problem in terms of it. Fortunately, one of the sermons promoted by Murphy at the time, the farmer has now been recognized as an agricultural expert by the "Total War" auxiliary system.
With his help, many things should be fine.
June 3.
This is a special day.
Because when Murphy was arranging many affairs in the university, he accidentally discovered that his management ability had reached five stars. I don’t know when, but there was an extra ‘math specialization’ in his personal attributes.
In this way.
His attributes in the auxiliary system of "Total War" have become the commander's six-star, the management of five-star, and the reputation of nine-star!
It just meets the personal ability requirements for the king in the auxiliary system!
After receiving the territory that was originally promised to him when fighting against the gnolls, Murphy's total territory also reached 7,200 square kilometers. Although the area of mountains and forests here accounts for a large part, it is still within the statistics of the country-building mission in the "Total War" auxiliary system. In other words, as long as Murphy's name adds about 3,000 square kilometers of territory, it can meet the second condition in the country-building mission.
The territory reaches 10,000 square kilometers!
In fact, after many small and medium-sized nobles whose territory was on the front line visited him one after another.
Murphy had an amazing idea in his mind!
That is to build.
——The Principality!
That's right.
It's the Principality!
The so-called principality is actually the prototype of the kingdom.
The highest ruler of the Principality is His Excellency, and the current system of the human city-state in the southern plains was formulated by the three Grand Dukes.
In other words, the current southern plain is actually composed of three principalities and many small and medium-sized nobles.
However, because of the famous and surnamed human heroes in ancient times, none of these three principalities had so-called names, and they were roughly nominally in the aristocratic parliamentary system of human city-states.
Principality and marquis, these two are the names formulated by the great lords who ruled before the Middle Ages.
Murphy’s idea was to unite some of the indigenous nobles to form the Principality of Athens when the time comes!
He did not need the territory of the small and medium-sized aristocrats of the natives, he just needed to be loyal to him in name.
His actual territory, which is now more than 7,200 square kilometers of land, is enough for his current development. After all, his direction of progress has the knowledge of his previous life, and also has fertile land on both sides of the Nidolia River. Before the population swelled and soared, he did not need to rush to expand the scope of his territory.
As long as we can win over the nearby small and medium-sized nobles to establish the Principality of Athens.
Then Murphy naturally became the Grand Duke directly, thus becoming the fourth Grand Duke who was on par with the nobles and the other three great fairs!
So.
In the future, whether it is facing the noble parliament, or taking advantage of the general trend of the aboriginal people in this world, or even establishing the [King of Athens] in the future, a solid foundation has been laid.
This is also an important reason why Murphy rejected the title of earl given by the noble parliament.
He has not yet had a clear title.
