Chapter 417: Territory construction

After inspecting the territory, Zhou Qingfeng rode 'Shengying' back to the manor.
After the establishment of the ‘rich and strong collar’, the ‘harmonious village’ was reduced to a mere supply of raw materials. Xi Li moved all managers and institutions to the ‘rich and strong collar’.
The Territory Manor originally lived with more than three hundred people, but now it has swelled to three thousand. The manor was building roads all over the place, and there was no moment of safety.
Outside the manor, a half the size of a football field is opened as a playground. Hundreds of homeless people are training in queues.
These are the ‘Three Harmony Gods’ who only want to work odd jobs. Without a whip, you do n’t know how beautiful the world is.
Todd took the Orc Guard for training, and his mouth full of fangs was yelling from time to time. Whenever his roar rang, the trainees stood up straight and raised their chests.
Zhou Qingfeng urged the horse to pass by the playground, staring coldly at the crooked training queue.
With the same hands and feet, turning left and right, dizziness and dizziness, the refugees seem to be doing Brown exercises, there is no law at all. When someone stared, they moved. No one stared, and they were lazy.
"This is the first batch of trainees?" Zhou Qingfeng asked the following Rubio.
"It seems to be the thirteenth batch. This batch of displaced people was eliminated from various places for retraining, and the quality is indeed not high." Rubio replied.
"People with poor quality should not be accepted into the‘ rich and strong collar ’.
Zhou Qingfeng has no shortage of manpower.
When the 'Harmonious Village' was established in the Black Forest, Zhou Qingfeng washed the heads and backbones of the original human settlements. Residents of 'Harmony Village' know their master is a cruel man.
But the establishment of a 'rich and strong collar' is not the same.
Many refugees came to hear that Master Hugo was particularly kind and admired. They did have a full stomach after they came, but they did not expect that the lord had a unique means of squeezing labor.
"For those who are lazy and slippery, there is no cure, let's take a risk into the Black Forest."
As soon as Zhou Qingfeng waved his hand, he decided that the end of many exiles was a 'waste utilization' type of exile. In short, we must not let refugees run around, lest they become a hidden danger to law and order.
Rubio knew the intention of his master. He ran into the playground with a donkey, and relayed Todd's orders to Zhou Qingfeng.
The trained queue was immediately disbanded.
The exiles learned that they no longer needed to go back and forth, cheering and shouting, and praised Hugo for his kindness.
Rubio glanced at the grunts indifferently, thinking to himself: "Stupid guy, they don't know that the more comfortable they are under Master Hugo, the closer they are to death."
Crossing the playground, Zhou Qingfeng entered the core area of ​​the manor. On both sides of the road are the cultivated fields, and Irene is teaching farmers how to drive their animals and use metal ploughs.
In the past, Fabro did not pay much attention to agriculture, and a large variety of vegetables and flowers were placed in the large territory. Grain was purchased from Cold Wind City. The farmers under his hands are still using wooden plows to cultivate the land.
After Zhou Qingfeng arrived, he immediately expanded the agricultural population in the territory, pursued the way of collective farms, promoted the division of labor system, and rewarded labor enthusiasts.
The large metal plough produced by the forge requires two large animals to pull, and it can plow five deep trenches at the same time to completely loosen and break the soil.
But effective tools also need to be used efficiently.
After the establishment of 'Fu Qiang Ling', the training work has not stopped. Thousands of people need to master new knowledge, and Zhou Qingfeng himself is no exception.
In training, the naturally charming tree spirit has the best effect. Irene, who has been trained in a queue, is taught by Irene and has the highest learning efficiency.
"How many big animals have we bought now?" Zhou Qingfeng asked Rubio.
"At present, there are more than 650 heads, including cattle, horses, donkeys, mules and the like." Rubio is a treasure trove of the estate's home.
"Northern cattle are actually rare, but there are more horses. Especially the price of working horses is very cheap.
Our platinum coins are used well in the market, and more and more people agree with it.
There is a transport team consisting of heavy-duty carriages. We can go to other cities in the north to purchase. The supply is still sufficient. "
It is different from the cattle farming in Zhou Qingfeng's cognition. There are frequent wars in the North, with more horses than cattle.
Although the cost of raising a horse is several times that of raising a cow, horses are also more delicate than cattle. But horses also work faster than cattle.
Horses can also be used for transportation and combat, cattle are not. Therefore, horses are preferred in all parts of the north.
The aluminum alloy from the real world is used by Zhou Qingfeng to set a large amount of shopping capital. These metal currencies are constantly promoted with the expansion of 'harmonious commercial banks'.
Wizards first recognized 'Platinum Coins' with weak magic properties and used them for daily transactions. This is equivalent to a strong credit recognition.
The investment of a large amount of money has instead promoted commercial trade, after all, more and more money can be made. The merchants naturally also accepted the "exquisite platinum coins" punched out.
The financial system envisaged by Zhou Qingfeng is rapidly penetrating the entire north, and it is easier to conquer the city slightly than to conquer it with a sword.
From the most powerful to the poor, all classes are actively and passively doing business with 'harmonious business firms'.
With heavy-duty carriages running around, in just three months, the goods shipped to Cold Wind City were several times more than in the past.
Cows, sheep, horses, grain cloth, daily groceries, slave mercenaries, all kinds of people and goods were swallowed by bottomless pits like ‘rich and strong collars’.
It's difficult for outsiders to appreciate the fullness of this rapid increase in strength. Only actual managers such as Rubio know that the 'rich and strong collar' is different every month.
In the territory, there are more than ten kilometers of roads of different grades. They spread like a cobweb around them, linking seven or eight new villages in the territory to the lord's estate.
"If the horses are easier to buy, buy more. There are still too few over 600 large animals, especially the horses are widely used. I hope this number can be doubled."
Zhou Qingfeng has eager pursuit of 'replacement of manpower with animal power and water power'. He likes to see his territory have higher production and operational efficiency.
Rubio opened his mouth and wanted to say ‘horses eat more than men’. But think about the feed can also be purchased externally, he shut up again.
According to Zhou Qingfeng's meaning, 'rich and strong collar' must also have at least 2,000 horses. There are very few aristocrats in the north who can support 2,000 people.
There are so many horses, the ‘rich and strong collar’ is definitely the second largest force.
The area of ​​the manor is expanding, more and more like a small town. The more you go in, the more the population, the more houses, and even the streets.
An overhead water pipe leads from the waterwheel near the river and leads to all parts of the manor. The water pipe connects to the water storage towers, and becomes the tap water for the soil.
Residents lined up for water are always gathered under the water storage tower. They all met Zhou Qingfeng, who came from Zema, all bowing their knees silently in tribute.
Before the large-scale construction of the house, a complete water supply and drainage system was first established in the manor. This novel facility alone has reduced the incidence of diarrheal diseases in the territory by half.
Eating, drinking, drinking, food, shelter, and transportation are so particular about. People in the manor feel like they live in aristocracy.
