Vol 3 Chapter 14: At the beginning

In this way, the Anonymous Valley Territory was officially named Gaota Territory, the town under construction was named Yeguang Town, and the nameless river running through the valley plain was named Runguang River.
Leon got his wish and became the interim chief administrative officer. His leadership experience and governance abilities are indeed good. In just over two weeks, he commanded everyone to complete the reclamation of the cultivated land in the northern part of the settlement.
The land reclaimed is far greater than the needs of five thousand people, because Ace plans to conquer the barbarians in the central area of ​​the Laer Mountains in batches in the spring next year and move them over to enrich the population as slaves and serve as the cheapest labor.
Therefore, the work of cultivated land is the top priority, which is related to how much barley can be produced next year, and the output of barley determines how many slaves they can plunder and work for the territory.
After reclaiming, Leon organized all the prepared citizens to teach the barbarians to learn the common language and accelerate their assimilation.
In appearance, the barbarians are no different from people in civilized countries. They are the remains of previous civilizations. After the last great extinction, their civilizations disappeared and scattered throughout the old and new continents. Without the leadership of gods and nobles, they gradually reduced to barbarians.
Leon, who is instructing everyone to refuel to build Luminous Town, said passionately:
"Everyone, do it! Which team finishes it first will be rewarded for eating meat!"
At night, after two weeks of hard work, Ace has upgraded all the magic books while retaining the basic framework of the original magic books, adding functions similar to signal base stations.
The sixth page and the spine of each magic book have been replaced. The spine made of the small horns of the triangle cow is replaced with a secondary magic stone with better magic storage performance and larger capacity using the secondary magic stone transformation technique.
"The magic book is ready, and we can start a new round of experiments on the construction of the spiritual imprint network tomorrow."
Ace looked at all the upgraded magic books and said to the mirror with emotion.
At this time, the door of his mud house sounded "bang", the mirror image touched the "shimmer" behind him, and it immediately changed into Sharp's appearance.
"Your Excellency, this is Leon, and I beg to see you."
Ace also discovered through insight and perception that Leon was outside the door, transformed into a mirror image of Sharp, and went to open the door.
After entering the mud room, Leon first confessed to Ace, and then bowed to Ace and Mirror.
"Your Excellency, it's so late. I take the liberty to interrupt. It's because I want to report to you some ideas about the territory."
Ace smiled and said to Leon:
"Don't be so polite, come in and say."
Leon was not restrained either, and directly said to Ace after coming in:
"My lord, all the barley reclaimed fields in the north of Yeguang Town have been fully reclaimed. As long as you follow your "Intensive Cultivation" instructions and do a good job in irrigation and composting, you should be able to guarantee a worry-free harvest next year.
But now there are several problems:
One is that we lack enough livestock such as pigs, horses, cattle, and sheep. Second, we have few plants and seeds here. Third, we have no slaves in our territory. Other residents need to be paid for their work. However, we have not found gold, silver and precious metals in the northern mining area of ​​the territory. Only copper, iron and tin and other metal mines are distributed.
Regarding our lack of precious metals that can be used as currency, I would like to ask you whether it is possible to pay for daily necessities directly? "
As soon as Ace heard that, Leon should already have a plan in his mind, and he asked Leon in depth. It turned out that Leon planned to collect the existing living materials and distribute them according to labor, temporarily replacing currency.
"In this case, it is better to directly implement the work points system. Every freed and prospective citizen is paid for work points in exchange for necessities such as food, clothing, housing and transportation.
Go back and make a table to list the work points of different positions in detail. The wizard apprentice does not participate in the work, but the work points are listed separately and should be at a higher level.
When slaves are plundered next year, we can try to implement a work-point system among slaves, by squeezing slave labor to create more means of production, but we must gradually convert slaves into free people.
The slaves can become free citizens of the territory as long as the accumulated work points exceed a certain amount each year, after a total of twenty years.
Free citizens, prepared citizens and citizens will gradually use magic stone currency in the future. We use magic stones produced in magic rituals to replace rare metals as general equivalents. "
Then Ace and Leon talked again and discussed the issue of livestock and seeds. Ace plans to log wood and build ships next year, organize caravans, disguise pirates, and plunder people and materials along the eastern coast of Salia, and also buy population and supplies. Supplies.
The leader of the caravan, Donna's father Borg is a good candidate.
He has always been thinking of his parents and relatives, and when the construction here is getting better, he will try to clone into the royal city and contact his parents. Maybe he can create a scene of pirates attacking the manor and take everyone away.
While thinking about it, the conversation between Ace and Leon, the interim chief administrative officer, came to the end, and he got up to send Leon away.
As soon as he left the door, with a slamming, Leon stepped on the gravel at the door and fell another dog.
"Does it matter to you?"
Ace was a little funny and asked worriedly on the surface.
"It doesn't matter, Archon...Your Excellency, please believe that I usually...it's not like this~EbookFREE.me~This...all accidents!"
Leon seemed to flash to his waist again, he struggled to crawl, and explained his departure on all fours.
"Really a hard-working man with super self-esteem!"
Ace looked at Leon, the chief administrative officer who was crawling in a strange way, and sighed in a low voice.
In the early morning, the sun rises as usual, and the sun shines on the city walls that the town is building. This is the standard Medimus city-state style wall construction method.
As for the construction and development of the entire town, Ace does not interfere too much now. His current focus is not here. The study of spiritual networks and the possibility of life promotion may make him obsessed.
Let Leon build and develop according to the outline. There is no need to do too many inventions and creations in the past. There is no need to industrialize. As long as it is stable, the valley population will exceed 10,000 within five years, the town will be prosperous, and the infrastructure will be complete.
The "Ace Manor Five-Year Development Plan" for Leon has summarized a large number of plantation, animal husbandry, handicraft workshops, residential and commercial areas, and road construction and development experience, as long as Leon is roughly governed in accordance with the "Plan" , There won't be much problem.
As for the general education school, Ace is not ready to build it right away. It needs to be basically completed next year. Everything is decided, and then the wizard apprentices who have been educated for one year will be used as teachers to educate students in the general education school.
And all this takes time. Now Ace is not short of time. He is only seventeen years old and can wait patiently for ten or even twenty years to wait for all of this to blossom and bear fruit.
After all, this is an extraordinary world, and power is the foundation of everything. As long as one can achieve a leap in life, time and power are available.
While thinking about it, Ace dressed neatly. He used a spell to create an ice crystal mirror. Looking at the young and strong young man in the mirror, he nodded in satisfaction.
The apprentices have been waiting for a long time in the open space in the center of Yeguang Town.
