Chapter 0417 Territorial Construction
After inspecting the territory, Zhou Qingfeng rode back to the manor on the "Jiyingying".
After the establishment of the "Fuqiang Ling", the "Harmony Village" became a simple supply of raw materials. Xili moved all management personnel and institutions to the "Fuqiang Ling".
The territory manor originally had only more than 300 people, but now it has expanded to 3,000 in one breath. The manor is built everywhere, so I never saw Ansheng for a moment.
Outside the manor, a half-sized open space was opened as a playground, and hundreds of refugees were undergoing queue training.
These are the "Sanhe God" who only wants to do odd jobs. If you don't get whipped, you won't know how beautiful the world is.
Todd led the Orc Guard to be in charge of training, and his mouth full of fangs was often yelling like a rage. Whenever his roar sounded, the trainees stood upright and raised their chests.
Zhou Qingfeng rode his horse past the playground, staring at the crooked training queue coldly.
With the same hands and feet, they are spinning around and dizzy, and the refugees are as if they are doing Brownian exercises, with no rules at all. When someone is staring at them, they move. When no one is staring at them, they become lazy.
"What kind of training team is this?" Zhou Qingfeng asked Rubio who followed.
"It seems to be the 13th batch. These refugees were eliminated from various places for retraining, and their quality is indeed not high." Rubio replied.
"If you have poor quality, don't take it into the 'rich and strong leader'." Zhou Qingfeng is no longer short of manpower. "We must establish an 'exit mechanism' and don't let waste waste our food."
When establishing the "Harmony Village" in Black Forest, Zhou Qingfeng cleaned up the leaders and backbone of the original human settlement. The residents of the "Harmony Village" all knew that their master was a cruel person.
It is different to establish a "rich and strong leader".
Many refugees heard that Mr. Hugo was very kind and came here to see him. After they came, they were indeed full, but they did not expect that this lord had unique means to squeeze labor.
"For those who are lazy and sloppy and cannot be cured, they will all be sent to the Black Forest to take risks."
Zhou Qingfeng waved his hand and decided that the end of many refugees was "waste utilization" exile. In short, refugees should not be allowed to run around, so as not to become a public security risk.
Rubio knew his master's intention very well. He rode a donkey into the playground and told Todd about Zhou Qingfeng's orders.
The trained cohort was disbanded immediately.
When the refugees learned that they didn't have to turn around, they cheered and praised Mr. Hugo's kindness.
Rubio coldly glanced at the laughing refugees and thought to himself: "Ignorance guys, they don't know that the more comfortable they are under Mr. Hugo, the closer they are to death."
After crossing the playground, Zhou Qingfeng entered the core area of the manor. The road was lined with farmland that had been reclaimed, and Erin was teaching farmers how to drive livestock and use metal plows.
In the past, Fabro did not pay attention to agriculture. The huge territory was full of vegetables, flowers and plants, and all the grain was purchased from Hanfeng City. The farmers under his command were still using wooden plows to cultivate the land.
After Zhou Qingfeng arrived, he immediately expanded the agricultural population in the territory, set up collective farms, implemented the labor-point system, and rewarded active workers.
Large metal plows produced by forging sites require two large animals to pull, and can plow five deep ditches at the same time, completely loose and broken soil.
But efficient tools also require efficient use.
After the establishment of the "Riqiang Leader", the training work has never stopped. Thousands of people need to master new knowledge, even Zhou Qingfeng himself is no exception.
In training, the naturally charming tree spirit has the best effect. The refugees who have received queue training are taught by Erin and have the highest learning efficiency.
"How many large animals have we purchased now?" Zhou Qingfeng asked Rubio.
"There are currently more than 650 people, including cattle, horse, donkey, mule, etc.." Rubio is well aware of the property of the manor.
"Cows in the North are actually rare, but there are many horses. Especially the price of horses is very cheap.
Our platinum coins are used well on the market, and more and more people agree with them.
With a heavy carriage, we can go to other cities in the North to purchase, and the supply is relatively sufficient."
Unlike Zhou Qingfeng's cognition of ox plowing, there are frequent wars in the north, and there are more horses than oxes.
Although the cost of raising horses is several times that of raising cattle, horses are more delicate than ploughing cattle. However, horses are also farmed faster than calves.
Horses can also be used for transportation and fighting, but cattle are not good. Therefore, horses are more popular in all parts of the North.
Aluminum alloys from the real world are used by Zhou Qingfeng to set up shopping materials, and these metal currencies are constantly being promoted with the expansion of the "Harmony Trading Company".
The wizards first identified with the 'platinum coins' with weak magic attributes and used them for daily transactions. This is equivalent to a strong credit recognition.
The issuance of a large amount of money has promoted commercial trade, after all, more and more money can be made. Merchants naturally accept the stamped "exquisite platinum coins".
The financial system envisioned by Zhou Qingfeng is rapidly penetrating into the entire northern region, and the speed of conquering cities is more convenient than conquering with swords.
From the powerful to the poor, all classes are actively and passively doing business with the "harmonious business".
As heavy carriages ran everywhere, in just three months, the goods transported to Hanfeng City were several times more than before.
Cattle, sheep, horses, grain, fabrics, daily necessities, slaves and mercenaries, all kinds of people and goods were swallowed by the bottomless pit's "rich and powerful leader".
It is difficult for outsiders to experience the fulfillment of this rapid increase in strength. Only managers who are actually dealing with such as Rubio know that the "Rich and Strong Leader" is different almost every month.
There are more than ten kilometers of roads in the territory of different levels. They spread like spider webs, connecting the seven or eight newly built villages in the territory with the lord manor.
"If horses are easier to buy, buy more. There are still too few animals over 600, especially horses with a wide range of uses. I hope this number can be increased several times."
Zhou Qingfeng has a eager pursuit of "replace human power with animal power" and he likes to see his territory with higher production and operational efficiency.
Rubio opened his mouth and wanted to say, 'Horse eats much more than people'. But thinking that feed can also be purchased from the outside, he shut up again.
According to Zhou Qingfeng's meaning, "rich and strong leader" had to raise at least two thousand horses. There were very few nobles in the north who could raise two thousand people.
With so many horses, the "Rich and Strong Leader" is definitely the most powerful force.
The area of the manor is expanding, becoming more and more like a small town. The more you walk in, the more people, the more houses you have, and even the streets appear.
An overhead water pipe is drawn from the water truck by the river and leads to all parts of the manor. The water pipe is connected to a water storage tower and becomes tap water for the local horse.
There are always residents queuing up to use water under the water storage tower. When they see Zhou Qingfeng riding horses, they all bow their heads silently and bend their knees to show their respect.
Before building a large-scale house, the first thing that was built in the manor was to build a complete water supply and drainage system. This novel facility alone reduced the incidence of diarrhea diseases in the territory by half.
