Goutou people and goblins also grow food, but their sowing method is the most primitive slash and burn. Find a wasteland, set a fire to burn the weeds on the ground, and when it rains, sprinkle some plant seeds on the ground. As for the harvest, it is completely random.
Although the goblins and Goutou people are poor at farming, they are still competent in reclaiming wasteland. Su Lun plans to reclaim 5000 mu of land in the territory before the north wind arrives, so that the territory can at least be self-sufficient in food. These barbarians are big stomach kings one by one, and consume three times as much food as ordinary people.
In this world, except for nobles or big businessmen, ordinary people eat two meals a day, and so do these barbarians. However, Su Lun is ready to change to three meals as the main fighting unit. It's not good to fight hungry. The only problem is food shortage.
There are now 45 artisan slaves and 35 barbarian soldiers in the camp. In a while, the barbarian women and children will also come here. At that time, the number of barbarians will be 124, in addition to 40 mercenaries and more than 1000 indigenous slaves.
With so many mouths open, the consumption of food has directly quadrupled. In the past, we could eat food for several months, but now we can only eat food for two months at most.
If you want to develop the territory, you still need enough people. Although there are more than 1000 people in the territory, those goblins, jackals and dog headed people can't join the territory. They are not my race, and their hearts will be different. Su Lun still knows this truth, so there are not many people in his territory.
Like barbarians, or dwarves, these races are at least not very different from humans. At least they don't have the custom of cannibalism. Whether they are jackals, koeheads or goblins, these races have no taboos, let alone humans. It's really urgent, but they won't even let go of the bodies of their allies and clansmen.
The jackals enslaved goblins not only as cannon fodder, but also as food and grass. When there is not enough food, eat goblins or dog headed people directly.
So these monsters can only be used as slaves. It is impossible for them to join the territory and become free people.
In the north of Hongsha River, sulun took a pair of barbarian soldiers to eliminate the goblins and dog headed people here, because all the surrounding tribes have been destroyed by sulun, but there are still three or five groups of stray goblins or stray dog headed people in the wilderness.
These monsters like weeds may form a new tribe in a few months. In order to maintain the rule of this land, Su Lun will come to eliminate some after a period of time and catch some back as slaves.
The construction of the territory is very heavy. Even in the previous life and the 21st century, there are many security guarantees, and various accidents will occur on various construction sites. In a world where productivity is not as good as that in the middle ages, it is entirely normal to die a few slaves. Therefore, in order to ensure the progress of the project, some slaves need to be arrested every time.
"Head, a small tribe of goblins, about two or three hundred people, including some big goblins, was found in the woods ahead," said a barbarian who came back from the investigation.
Su Lun nodded and opened the strategic map in the system. At this time, the location of the goblins had been marked on the strategic map. He had found that as long as he or his army passed by, the original black area on the map would disappear, and the situation of this land would be displayed. Just as now, according to him, in the woods five kilometers northeast of them, A group of goblins live here.
Strategic maps are not only useful in territory.
After determining the location of the goblin tribe, Suellen was ready to take the barbarian and leave all the goblins. A dozen barbarians dispersed into two teams and circled around from both sides of the camp, while sulun took two barbarians to attack from the front.
Goblins have low combat effectiveness and weak will. The casualties of their companions will have a great impact on them. In fact, even if there is only one barbarian warrior, they can break them down.
More than ten minutes later, Su Lun has come to the outside of the goblin tribe. To deal with these goblins, he doesn't need any sneak attack. He can end the battle directly with a wave of current, and then catch slaves.
There are no guards outside the goblin tribe. The whole goblin camp looks dilapidated. There are many houses like small earth bags piled out of soil. In fact, most of these houses should be called crypts. They are located underground, have no windows, only one entrance, and are supported by wood.
Although it looks bad, the warmth of this house is still very good. Many poor houses in the North absorb the advantages of this underground cave and cover half of the house underground.
Su Lun looked at the strategic map. The other two teams of barbarians on the map had arrived at the predetermined position. Then he waved and rushed to the camp with two barbarians.
The figure of the three was soon found by the goblins. One of the goblins picked up weapons and shouted to the other goblins to pick up weapons to form an array, but before he finished the whole team, a hand axe spun and hit its forehead.
"Kill!"
When Su Lun waved his long gun, he smashed the fence outside the camp with his powerful power. The goblin who had just regained consciousness climbed out of the crypt in panic.
After seeing the tall barbarian, before he could react, he was directly divided into two parts by the axe blade. For a time, the three people were like three meat grinder, running amok in the land of business. The remaining goblins were scared out of control. They broke up before fighting, and turned around and ran away.
Only a few earth spirits picked up broken weapons and formed a simple military array to resist. Seeing this situation, Su Lun adjusted his direction, rushed over with a charge, swept away with a fine iron spear, and several earth spirits were pulled up like a sandstorm.
Although there were no obvious scars on the surface of these goblins, the leather armor behind them burst directly, and the damaged internal organs gushed out of their mouth mixed with blood. Before they landed, they had no sound.
With the death of several big goblins, no other goblins dared to resist, and all goblins scrambled to escape. Just ran out of the camp and ran into the barbarian soldiers guarding the plant and waiting for the goblins. In the face of a larger number of barbarian soldiers, these Goblins who are already six gods and have no master only feel that the whole world is deeply malicious to them.
The battle soon ended. The three sides surrounded the whole goblin camp. Except for dozens of dead and some lucky ones who ran away, all the others lay on the ground, and their bodies were shivering and crowded together.
"Follow the old rules, kill the old and the weak, and tie up the rest with ropes and take them back as slaves."
