Lords Trying to Survive: Strategizing from a Rundown Yard

Because having enough food and clothing is also the most basic need for survival.

Zong Shen will naturally try his best to satisfy him.

He didn't know what the food supply was like in other territories.

Anyway, his territory has achieved relative standardization.

There are currently a large number of citizens in the territory, and a huge amount of food is consumed every day.

While enjoying the demographic dividend, we must also bear the burden of logistical consumption.

As for Zong Shen’s clichéd plan for free people’s reform.

It's not yet time to implement it.

At least until the challenge month is over.

In addition to the canteen in the territory, the only thing left is the small stove in the lord's fortress.

It is also a manifestation of privilege.

Because the food standard of Xiaozao is better than that of Big Pot.

As a lord, it is not too much to enjoy some privileges.

That is to say, he didn't have time, otherwise he would have to go to Dinan Village in person to abduct the mid-level chef back.

Speaking of which, it has been nearly half a month since Tie Zhu went to Dinan Village.

Their situations are reported directly to Mariel.

Zong Shen didn't pay special attention to this and didn't know what was going on there.

In fact, he didn't take it too seriously.

The main purpose of sending the scout team to Dinan Village was to find something for them to do.

Zong Shen decided that he had to go to Dinan Village when he took some time.

Because of the Elf Key, he had a reason to attack the Goblin tribe.

And plus the accumulation during this period.

The increase in military strength, the acquisition of various powerful props, and the goblin bombs and spell scrolls redeemed during the Winter Challenge are actually all preparations for attacking the Goblin tribe.

As for other issues, they are secondary.

Under normal circumstances, Zong Shen would have a bite in the lord's fortress as long as he was not on an expedition.

It's just that he doesn't care who does the cooking.

In his impression, Luna and Mariel were the frequent visitors in the kitchen.

But I didn’t expect that Vereesa also had a hand.

However, the relationship between the two was a bit awkward, and Zong Shen didn't say much.

Let her go to the kitchen to fiddle with herself.

They have a stipulated rule that no matter who cooks, they must prepare meals according to the number of people living in the lord's fortress, including those Tasia and Aysia who have been in the [Magic Hall] for a long time.

Whether or not you come back to eat is another matter. Even if you don't come back, you can still reheat it the next day.

The food style of this world is more Western-style on Earth.

There are very few stir-frying with hot oil in a hot pan or braised with thick oil and red sauce like the Chinese ones.

After finishing Dinan Village, I got the mid-level chef talent.

Someone from Zong will ask the chef to go to Bosbon with the two chef apprentices trained by the territory.

Use the mall property he owned in Bosspont to open a restaurant.

The sub-array of the [100-kilometer level teleportation array] has been placed on the top floor there.

You can travel between the two places quickly.

The catering business in Bosbon also provides an opportunity for chef apprentices to practice.

When the time is right and the number of chefs under his command reaches a certain number.

Zong Shen could consider teaching them the ideas of Chinese cuisine.

When it comes to cooking, he is an amateur in practical terms.

But the general ideas and steps are still known.

Then let the chefs practice slowly.

In addition, Zong Shen can also hire chef talents from among the lords.

Just pay them as usual.

He had plenty of dinars in his hands.

As long as the indigenous forces have not entered a period of total chaos, the dinar's spending power is guaranteed.

Looking at Vereesa busy in the kitchen, Zong Shen unconsciously thought too far.

Future planning is actually one link after another.

Nothing is complete without any link.

Zong Shen sat on the chair in the living room and couldn't help but start thinking about the development of the territory.

There are actually many problems that need to be solved in the future.

The biggest point is the issue of the people.

First of all, the territory no longer relies on farmers going out to collect resources to obtain resources.

These farmers must not be allowed too much leisure before they are converted into freemen.

The most important meaning of free people is independent farming.

Therefore, priority must be given to teaching them farming skills.

Now that the challenge period is not over yet, theoretical instruction can be given first.

In addition, whether it is the Azshara mine or the gem veins in the north.

In the end, a large amount of miner labor is required for collection.

Although kobolds are good at mining, their numbers are limited.

There are currently less than 300 kobolds in the kobold tribe.

These include the newly hatched baby kobolds during this time.

If Zong Shen is patient and can take good care of them for a few years, the kobold tribe will gradually grow.

In addition to the kobold tribe, some human miners can be properly trained.

He has made up his mind and will let Mariel and Howie implement it tonight.

Two hundred to three hundred farmers were selected to go to the mine.

Received by the kobold chief Dutra.

And these farmers will be trained in mining starting tomorrow.

Just when Zong Shen thought of this.

The steel gate of Lord's Fortress was pushed open again.

Because there is a door spring to assist, ordinary people can push it open.

In wartime it is enough to fasten the bolts.

Mariel came back. She was amazed and walked in.

Seems surprised by the changes in Lord's Fortress as it reaches level six.

"Ah, sir, you are here too!"

Mariel seemed to be in a good mood when she saw Zong Shen sitting carelessly in the living room.

He quickly stepped forward and said hello.

It just so happened that he was also going to report the situation.

"Mariel is back!"

"Come on, come on, sit down first."

"How is the situation in Tasia Village?"

"Have the iron cages been made to contain the manticore tigers?"

Zong Shen crossed his legs and reached out to pat the chair beside him.

Mariel smiled sweetly and looked at the kitchen first.

After the City Lord's Mansion was upgraded to level six, the area on the first floor became much larger.

There is actually a distance of ten or twenty meters from here to the kitchen.

When the City Lord's Mansion reaches level 180, I'm afraid I will have to commute on horseback at home.

"Sister Vereesa is cooking?"

Mariel did not sit down, but asked one more question.

Zong Shen nodded calmly and raised his chin slightly, which was considered acquiescence.

He could see that Mariel wanted to help with the cooking again.

However, Mariel thought for a moment and decided to make a formal report first.

Cooking is not her responsibility, but reporting in a timely manner is her responsibility and obligation.

So she sat on the chair next to Zong Shen.

"Sir, I'm afraid it will take a few days for the large iron cage to contain the Manticore Tiger to be ready."

"There is only one blacksmith in the village, and the forging efficiency is too low."

"The same is true for other nearby villages. It is difficult to ask blacksmiths from other villages to help."

Mariel said with some embarrassment at first.

Hearing this situation, Zong Shen frowned subconsciously.

This is not good news. Why is the little girl so happy?

"As soon as possible."

He only answered in three words.

Maybe the atmosphere feels a little serious.

So Zong Shen added immediately.

"Well, you and Howie will go to the living area tomorrow morning."

"Choose two hundred strong farmers, and let Colby mobilize a team of wolf riders."

"Let's go to the mine together."

"Inform Dutra that the skilled kobold mines will teach mining skills starting tomorrow."

"By the way, bring the food supplies for the next few days."

Zong Shen paused when he said this.

Because Mariel was remembering what he told her seriously.

After she remembered it for a while, Zong Shen continued.

"In addition, inform Erya, Xiaoping, and the farming apprentices trained in the territory."

"Starting from tomorrow, we will teach farming techniques to other farmers and farm women staying in the territory."

"The residents have basically mastered some farming skills."

"But what they have is very superficial introductory knowledge."

“The yield is not high, and we will not starve to death even if we are not full.”

“So we need to teach the art of farming and improve everyone’s farming level.”

“Farming must become a technology for all.”

"Including some preliminary apprentices also need to learn."

This is how Zong Shen thought of the leader training plan just now.

He decided to turn farming into a basic discipline for his people.

There is no doubt about the significance of agriculture.

Improving the farming level of every territory citizen is an important factor that is conducive to the long-term stability of the territory.

As for blacksmiths, pharmacists, chefs, brewers, bakers, and even magic science and rune technology, they still maintain the original plan for training.

While being trained, those apprentices still had to learn farming.

This is part of Zong Shen’s strategy of high-quality, self-disciplined farmers.

After the reform of the free people is completed, every high-quality self-disciplined farmer can become an active factor in the development of the territory, broken into parts, and all the people in the territory can move forward by pulling the carriage of the territory.

Hearing Zong Shen's words, Marier nodded seriously.

"I took note of it, sir."

"When I go to the living area for a routine inspection at night."

"I will communicate with Mr. Howie."

As a logistics officer, Mariel often needs to patrol the territory.

Although Howie was appointed as the trade officer, he is now more like Mariel's deputy.

Both of them were somewhat stretched to deal with the logistics and construction affairs of the territory.

Just the [market] sales and material management are not easy.

Fortunately, there were two heroes among the batch of refugees sent by Bosbon.

Zong Shen has not met these two heroes yet, and no clear appointment has been issued yet.

First, he was under Mariel's command, and as the little girl's subordinate, he assisted in handling the territory's logistical affairs.

The [Building] permission and the [Storage Box] opening permission are not available to them for the time being.

All these permissions can be optionally opened for authorization.

After hearing Mariel's answer, Zong Shen nodded first, then lowered his head slightly, as if thinking.

After about half a minute, he raised his head and looked directly into Mariel's eyes.

His current thinking is on how to solve the iron cage problem.

"Let's do this. When we take people to the mine tomorrow, we will go to Sitano Village."

"Ask the dwarf uncle to take two blacksmith apprentices with you."

"Assist the blacksmith in Citano Village to complete the forging of the iron cage."

"You go on horseback and take the two groups of garrison knights and the group of charging knights with you."

"On the one hand, let them keep you safe, but on the other hand, let them get out and about."

"Anyway, tomorrow's Balrog Boss and these cavalry won't be able to help."

Zong Shen thought for a while and decided to ask the dwarf to go to Xitano Village to help.

Solving the problem of manticore placement is a big deal.

After dinner, he will go to the woods behind to look for Feihu.

While neither Yingjiang nor the Griffin troops are in the territory.

Go and fetch ten scorpion-tailed tigers.

I will stay in the territory for the next few days.

In addition, he had to take over the territories of the fallen lords.

The lords were unsure of each other's positions.

Even if the neighboring lords get there first, there will always be some left.

In fact, Zong Shen didn't have much interest in receiving the territory's inheritance.

He only wants to move places such as the [Market] or other practical special buildings.

He didn't have high hopes for resources and equipment.

Follow the principle of survival of the fittest.

The overall strength and development level of these lords who died in the battle against the Balrog Boss are probably not much higher.

The Balrogs in this area have him to intervene.

Even before the anger and rage stages could enter, the crusade was over.

There will be casualties in this. It can only be said that those people are unlucky people with worrying IQ.

But no matter what, Zong Shen had to find something to do for himself.

He was free at night, and he didn't want to study.

Luna also has her own mission.

He might as well find something to do for himself.

When the time comes to move the building, you can also bring Reese Ulysses with you.

She can create a shadow wormhole that lasts for 5 minutes within a hundred kilometers.

This is a great skill for moving buildings around the area.

Originally, he was thinking of taking a few more heroes to migrate manually.

Until he remembered that he had an intermediate space mage under his command.

Sensing Zong Shen's dissatisfaction with the progress of the iron cage production.

Mariel also became a little nervous.

Fortunately, Zong Shen did not delve into this issue in detail, but instead provided a new solution.

But this time there is actually good news.

That's why she was in such a happy mood when she returned.

Thinking of this, Mariel decided to tell the good news first.

"Sir, there is good news in the village this time."

"My father has completed the preparation of the ranch."

"82 pregnant cows were purchased from various villages."

“117 young bulls, 92 young cows, and 137 dairy cows.”

"It is expected that the total number of animals in the first batch will reach 500, and those pregnant cows will soon give birth to calves."

"I have conveyed this to my father as you commanded."

"Ask him to delay coming for a few days."

After hearing Mariel's report, Zong Shen still didn't relax.

"what happened?"

"The purchase of these cattle must have exceeded the budget, right?"

Zong Shen was a little confused. The budget he gave Mr. Mars was not enough to purchase so many cattle.

"Did Mr. Mars mention the budget issue?"

he asked directly.

Mariel thought about it for a moment and then nodded.

"My father mentioned that it should exceed the budget by tens of thousands of dinars."

She said matter-of-factly.

Zong Shen turned his head and remembered that he had indeed said that before.

"I see."

"I will give Mr. Mars another fifty thousand dinars when I go tomorrow."

"Let him prepare with confidence and boldness."

"The territory really needs a large ranch to enrich the agricultural and pastoral areas."

“And it must be used to open a chapter in the development of territorial animal husbandry.”

After Zong Shen finished speaking, his expression relaxed.

Continue to lean on the back of the chair.

Mariel sat where she was and sorted out the tasks Zong Shen had given her in her mind.

After she sorted her thoughts, she took the initiative to get up.

Ask Zong Shen for instructions and go to the kitchen to help.

Zong Shen had no opinion on this.

Smiling and waving his hands.

"go Go."

"I'll have Vereesa deliver food to Luna later."

"Let's go to the Magic Palace..."

"Forget it, I'd better go to the Magic Palace in person."

Mariel bowed and skipped towards the kitchen.

Cooking is one of her hobbies.

It's a pity that she is a heroic talent and has a more important mission in the territory.

Otherwise, it would be a good choice for Mariel to learn cooking skills full-time.

Judging from her talent in cooking, she can definitely be trained to become an intermediate to advanced chef.

There was a lively scene in the kitchen.

Zong is one of the leisurely people.

With Mariel's help, the kitchen has become much more harmonious.

You can hear the two women chatting actively.

From time to time there would be laughter.

Zong Shen felt a little unhappy when he heard this.

"Good on you Vereesa."

"This lord has not treated you badly!"

"I act frigid every day."

"Believe it or not, wait until I recruit Luo Ning and then break his cock?"

Zong Shen thought angrily in his heart.

All the female residents in the territory have a harmonious relationship with him.

As long as he is willing, he can tease anyone he pleases.

Only Vereesa is a special case.

It doesn't matter if he can't advance or retreat, it won't matter if he doesn't accept it.

I can only think about getting the husband of this ten thousand year old widow back.

It just so happens that Luo Ning is a great mage.

He can serve as the leader of the Master's army in the future.

Maybe we can also get clues about the eldest sister and the third sister.

The three sisters of Windrunner were holding each other in their mouths more than the other.

Especially Third Sister, based on the information he obtained.

The third sister not only turned black, but was also the strongest among the three sisters.

Such high-level ancient heroes are definitely rare talents.

It has more advantages than those found among the aboriginal people or those cultivated by oneself.

If the three Windrunner sisters are gathered together, Zong Shen's combat hero structure will be more complete.

"Forget it, Vereesa can do whatever she wants."

"As long as I don't embarrass myself, then others will be embarrassed."

Zong Shen curled his lips and muttered to himself as if complaining.

After a few more minutes, Mariel left the kitchen.

Plates of steamed jerky, sausages, and sliced ​​bread lightly toasted with butter.

There was also a plate of pickles cut into small slices.

Under Marier's greeting, Zong Shen was the first to go to the dinner table.

After he served the table, Vereesa and Mariel took their seats.

Zong Shen didn't say anything, as everything that needed to be explained had already been explained.

He took out two slices of bread.

Put a few pieces of pickles on it, and then add two sausages and a piece of jerky.

Just made a simple sandwich.
