Chapter 571

The northern wilderness.

When Su Lun returned here again, the summer has gradually come to an end. The summer in the northern wasteland is not hot. It may be because it is close to the north, which is far less hot than that in the south. The wheat planted outside the city has turned yellow in a large area. There is a golden scene outside Zhenbei city. You don't have to guess that this is another good harvest.

Su Lun first went around the city hall to check how the work of the government hall had been done during this period. It was about to be the day when serfs obtained the status of free people, which was a very important day for the north town.

More than 90% of the residents in Zhenbei city were these serfs. Last year, the service time of the first batch of serfs expired, so they obtained the status of civilians, owned land and houses, and became real property owners, which greatly stimulated other serfs.

So in the next year, those serfs burst out amazing enthusiasm, that is, from the day they came here, Su Lun's promise was not an illusory lie. In order to get a better life, these serfs burst out amazing enthusiasm.

Amazing changes have taken place in Zhenbei city in the past year. The most obvious is farmland. Originally, last year, the farmland outside Zhenbei city was 500000 mu, but only one year later, the farmland outside the city was reclaimed to an amazing 800000 mu, a full 300000 mu.

You know, the first 500000 mu of farmland took four or five years. Although there was a shortage of manpower at the beginning and a lot of manpower to build the city, 300000 mu of farmland was reclaimed and planted in only one year, which is still amazing.

Last year, more than 1000 serfs obtained civilian status. At that time, they obtained more than 6000 mu of land and houses. This year, there are more than 10000 serfs in this group. Moreover, because of their hard work, their labor points are much higher than those of the last group of serfs who obtained freedom.

According to the calculation of those officials of the city hall, basically everyone can exchange eight mu of land. In this way, Zhenbei city needs to take out at least 80000 mu of land. Of course, these lands are not reclaimed, but some have been reclaimed and some have not been reclaimed.

This approach can quickly increase cultivated land. Su Lun took out 40000 mu of cultivated land and divided 40000 mu of wasteland for them.

"Your majesty!"

"This is the list of serfs who have been freed this time and the land they will be assigned." a gorgeous looking mature female official smiled at Su Lun and took out a document and handed it to Su Lun.

In fact, these female officials are the family members of the nobles who were exiled to the north city of Zhenbei. There are a large number of nobles who were exiled here. Most of these people are not diligent and lazy. It can be said that 70% of them are rice worms. Su Lun will not raise them and throw them directly to the farm for farming. As for those who are capable, they are sent to work everywhere.

Compared with those men, many aristocratic women did better. They soon adapted to the rules of Zhenbei city. The vast majority of aristocratic women were literate and educated to a certain extent. These women were arranged to work as female officials, clerks and archivists in Beifeng principality. At present, they are doing very well.

"Most of the work has been completed and a small part is still being checked."

"What areas are the farmland to be distributed to them?" Suellen asked, looking through the list.

"It's all here." the female officer took out a map and said.

Su Lun looked through the map and marked all the farmland around the north city of the town, including the locations of various canals, waterwheel and water wells.

Su Lun checked whether there was any mischief in the land used for distribution this time. Su Lun said to allocate land, but did not say whether it was superior or inferior. The difference is great. If it is a high-grade field, not only the grain yield after planting is high, but also the surrounding water source is convenient, which is two or three times higher than that of newly reclaimed farmland.

The price of such superior farmland is much higher than that of newly reclaimed farmland. Who knows if those officials will come up with any tricks. Although these officials will go to prison for political training every year, how can they be 100% sure of this kind of thing.

In fact, this is also a loophole deliberately left by Su Lun. He uses this way to fish to see if any officials are hooked. Sure enough, after checking for a while, Su Lun soon found that some top-grade farmland had been divided, and then compared it with the list.

Su Lun easily found those people. After finding the problem, Su Lun didn't say anything. Instead, he directly informed the royal guards and asked them to continue their review. Looking at several royal guards commanders with a panic expression, Su Lun just threw the information to them. These people naturally know how to deal with things. If they can't do it well, Then he'll consider changing people.

After dealing with the matter, Su Lun left the city hall. The development speed of Zhenbei city is a little fast, and the functions of many departments are not perfect. He came to knock on the official system of Zhenbei city this time.

Back in the inner city, Su Lun's followers live in the whole inner city, as well as several factories in the north city of the town. Outsiders here will be found at the first time. When Su Lun came here, a large worker was busy and some people nearby were directing.

After entering, there were four boxes in front of us. These are the goods to be transported to the deep water city. Su Lun is going to open a new channel. Naturally, he needs to bring the goods. This time, he is preparing all kinds of specialties of the north town.

Paper, sugar, some magic potions and magic items, and some drinks, but not much. The main reason is the difference between eastern and Western diets. Suellen doesn't know whether rum and vodka are suitable for the eastern continent.

After several years of development, in addition to producing these things, Zhenbei city also began to sell some military materials, such as war horses and weapons. There are centaurs in the town. The war horses produced in the north city are very popular in the human kingdom. The war horse here is one of the best war horses in the whole western continent.

As for weapons, after having the grey dwarf blacksmith, the quality of weapons in Zhenbei city has increased sharply. They are not only strong and durable, sharp and tough, but also not too expensive. Some high-quality weapons are enchanted.

In this era, the weapons produced by dwarves are equivalent to the high-end weapons produced by several large countries in previous generations. As for enchanted weapons, they are equivalent to the most advanced weapons, such as Dongfeng express and F-22.

The profits of the arms trade are very high. After all, how can the arms trade not make money? The southern countries have strict inspection on the arms trade, and ordinary military weapons are limited. Because of the proliferation of pirates, many nobles worry that those pirates get too sophisticated weapons.

As for enchanting weapons, it's even more difficult. One or two of these weapons are good. Large transactions are strictly restricted, but there are no restrictions here in Zhenbei city. After all, these weapons are not used in Beifeng principality and Florence kingdom. Of course, Zhenbei city has strict restrictions on selling weapons locally. After all, Zhenbei city is located in the northern wasteland. There are too many goblins, orcs and jackals around. If these weapons fall into their hands, it will also be a threat to Zhenbei city at that time.

After checking the goods again, Su Lun nodded, because the Nu long was accompanied this time and could carry more goods, so all kinds of materials must be prepared adequately.

Hathaway is also here. She is also preparing the materials for trading and recording the materials she wants to buy. Many magic drugs are unique to the Oriental continent. This time, she is going to buy some in large quantities.

"If only there were magic airships!"

"Airship? Do you have technical information?" Suellen raised his eyebrows.

"Lack of key information," Hathaway shrugged.

Sulun and his family are now on a large planet, many times the size of the earth. The distance between the eastern continent and the western continent is relatively close. The western continent is very far away from several other continents. It takes almost a year to trade by ship, and it is difficult to navigate in the endless sea only by ship.

It's OK in the shallow sea. There aren't many monsters, but in the deep sea, all kinds of sea monsters can't come out clearly. Many sea monsters are no worse than giant dragons. When ordinary ships encounter them, they basically destroy ships and kill people. Therefore, the communication between these continents is through magic airships or long-distance transmission arrays.

The long-distance transport array cannot transport large quantities of materials, so airships are the main means of trade between these continents. These magic airships are owned by several large wizard organizations. They completely monopolize the trade between these continents. It can be said that they earn a lot by relying on them.

"The skill of airship is not very difficult. It's good to add floating mantra and space expansion mantra, but the above defense Rune array still has energy sources to solve," Hathaway explained.

The other is the means of attack. Although airships avoid monsters in the sea, they sometimes encounter some monsters in the sky, and the means of counterattack is essential. In addition, there is the problem of energy source. The energy consumed by an airship is not a small amount. There is no element pool on the airship. It is very important to make an energy source for the airship.

In fact, airship technology first appeared in the early stage of the arcane Empire and has been eliminated in the middle and late stage of the arcane empire. However, there are many faults in the wizard civilization and many skill trees lack key points, which is also a matter of no way.

Although the airship technology was eliminated in the era of the arcane Empire, it is still very good. It is cheap and cost-effective. Otherwise, the arcane Empire would not have used it for so long.
