Chapter 49: Farming and Development (2)

　　 In the blink of an eye, five years have passed, and the Farstrider Camp has undergone tremendous changes. Perhaps it should be called the Farstrider Fortress now.
　　 The original stone house in the center of the camp has long been demolished, but now stands a tall white tower surrounded by an arcane crystal matrix. The wooden houses on the periphery have also disappeared, replaced by neat three-story small buildings.
　　 A large conference room in the White Tower, Aristophanes and others are having a meeting to summarize the results of the work in the past five years.
　　"To sum up, the goal of the five-year plan was achieved a year ago.
At present, there are almost two thousand elves in various organizations such as the Farstrider Troops, Mage Group, and Production Brigade under our entire Farstrider Fortress. In addition, we now have a production industry centered on Farstrider Farms and Farstrider Alchemy Factory. , Can provide us with a stable income of more than one thousand Quel'Thalas gold coins every year. "
Aristophane said unhurriedly, "At the same time, our loan to the royal family was also paid off two years ago. Okay, this is about the case for population and finance. Next, the heads of each department will speak and report separately. ."
At this time, the director of agriculture, Frewen, took the words of Aristophanes and began to report on agricultural production:
From the opening of the first pumpkin field five years ago to now, the Farstrider Farm has developed the entire east side of Lake Elendal. The land is about 4,000 acres, and there are more than 1,000 elves working for us.
　　 Our main food crops include pumpkins, wheat, rice, etc., and the main cash crops are grapes.
　　 From the second year, we started to make wine under the guidance of Master Aristophanes. Due to the climate and certain technical reasons, our wines were well received in Silvermoon City, and the famous brand "Farward Traveler" was created.
But because it is far away from the sun well, the people who can come to work for us are ordinary people who can endure the addiction. Even so, they need to return to the enchantment every once in a while to ease the addiction, so the planting speed is very affected. . "
Taranas took the conversation, "There are eight Elven Ranger Centurion teams in the fortress up to now. Some of them are 200 people we brought, and the other 600 people are the others who have accepted your invitation in recent years. Members of the Ranger family and some good children."
　　 "What about transportation?"
"Now Jinwu Village has become a very prosperous material turnover center. We transport wine, pumpkins and other specialty products to Jinwu Village by boat, and then exchange them for the materials we need." Karls answered, "Ellendal Lake After your cleanup, it’s much safer. This route can currently complete the rotation of supplies within a week."
"Very well, let me talk about our reserves. After five years of hard work, our underground warehouse has stored enough food for 10,000 people to eat for three months, tens of thousands of stainless steel arrows, and five thousand ranger fighting bows. Three thousand magic arrows, one thousand each of ranger-standard leather armor and short knives."
　　 Everyone was a little surprised to hear this material reserve. They knew that Aristophanes had been building warehouses crazy in recent years, but they didn't expect that he could save so many things.
　　 "This is enough for us to train another 800 rangers!" Adrien, who joined the king's appointment afterwards, said loudly.
　　 "These are reserved materials, they cannot be opened easily without my permission." Aristophane replied calmly, "It's probably that way now, do you have any questions?"
　　 Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads.
"Okay, next we will make the next resolution. The five of us will now organize a management organization for Farstrider Fortress, in charge of the five aspects of military, financial, agricultural transportation and production. I have also listed the next five-year development plan. You guys will look at it first and then make your comments...
Before he finished speaking, Freywin and Karls interrupted him. The two humbly gave each other a little bit. Then Freywin said first: "My lord, thank you for your cultivation. I will always be your subordinate. I won’t participate in the management organization, you just give the order directly.

"Me too, my lord." Karls said, and then he said something old-fashioned, "Also, can you transfer me back to the Ranger army, I feel like I'm all salted when the transport team stays every day. Up..."
　　 Everyone laughed at the words, Aristophane sighed. Five years is still too short, and many concepts cannot be reversed at all.
　　 "Well, since you two requested that, let's not say much. Taranas, Adrian, what's your opinion?"
　　 "I have no opinion." Old Taranas was there.
　　 "emmmm, do you want to report to His Majesty the King first, or else..." Adrian looked at it for a while, a little entangled.
　　 "No need, you have seen the secret order of His Majesty the King, I have the right to do things cheaply."
　　 "Well, then the three of us make a decision? Are you sure you want to give us the power?"
　　 "In principle, the minority obeys the majority. I am not a genius, and I am busy with various experiments and researches. I don't have time to manage so many details. The main responsibilities are determined by the two of you."
　　 Taranas nodded thinking of the magic wine developed by Aristophanes and various entertainment alchemy potions.
　　 Soon, the new development plan and outline were determined during the discussion. Aristophanes looked at the "Second Five-Year Plan" on the parchment before the ink was dry, and nodded in satisfaction.
"Well, today is the Landing Festival. According to the practice of the previous two years, we will have a bonfire party. It is almost time to see. Let's go. I think the elves can't wait." Taranas laughed. Said to everyone.
　　 Aristophanes collected the signed planning book, and then walked out of the tower after everyone.
A huge bonfire has been set up in the square in front of you. There are some elves around in twos and threes. There are some long tables on the edge of the square, and they are filled with all kinds of food. The fireworks celebrated.
"Uncle Taranas, Aristophanes, your meeting is over?" asked a female elf waiting next to the White Tower. Aristophanes, who was looking down at the parchment, suddenly lit up when he heard this voice. stand up.
　　 "It's you, Little Hill, when did you come?" Taranas said gently.
　　 "I only arrived today. I heard that your place was very lively during the Landing Festival, so I told my mother to come and have a look."
　　 "Yes, this is Aristophane's suggestion, you have to thank him." Taranas patted Aristophane on the back, "You juniors go and play."
"it is good.."
　　 "Okay, uncle." Sylvanas picked up Aristophane and left without listening to him.
　　 "Young man." Taranas looked at the two of them away, feeling a little bit.
　　 "What's wrong, Taranas?" Adrian asked Heather as he walked over.
"Just now when Sylvanas called me to call my uncle~EbookFREE.me~ I realized that Aristophanes is not even two hundred years old, so capable, and our old fritters don’t have Any discomfort. Think about what we were doing when we were two hundred years old? I'm really curious about what is pushing him to keep doing these things."
　　 "No, we don't understand anything at the age of two hundred."
"When you were two hundred years old, you and Taranas were sneaking around at Fatherlin College. My girlfriend Aya's lynx was secretly caught by you and roasted and eaten, so I comforted her for a week." Heather Suddenly, there was an expressionless patch on the side, and the two of them suddenly became embarrassed and laughed twice.
　　 At this time, the sky has gradually dimmed, and the bonfire in the center of the square exudes a warm light, illuminating the entire camp as day.
　　 Sylvanas took Aristophanes to a long table in the square.
　　 "Why are you here, Hill?" Aristophane spoke first.
"It's not because of you," Sylvanas said while eating a plate of secret pumpkins. "In these years, you only wrote to us to report safety, and you don't want to go home and have a look. My mother told me that you are here, and I am afraid I won't see you yet.
　　 Alleria heard that I was coming and wanted to follow her, but she was caught in an urgent task, but you also know that according to her personality, she will come to you sooner or later. "
　　 "..." Aristophanes was silent for a long time. He thought of Crevi Windrunner and Li Leisa Windrunner, and sighed slightly.
Sylvanas noticed the decoration on Aristophanes’ wrists. She put down the plate and held Aristophanes’s hand, then raised it, and saw the slightly faded red bracelet with long eyebrows. It stopped shaking and looked very happy.
