Being a lord in another world begins with farming

Chapter 85 Harvesting Talents
"If all the resources consumed before were used in one place, I'm afraid that any branch base would have been formed long ago, instead of being rotten everywhere like it is now." Owen said with some emotion, but he knew that there is no medicine for regret in the world, and this The general perception is based on the current basis. He didn't have the confidence to deal with emergencies earlier, and he had to run away if there was a slight setback. Therefore, he chose to open up the base desperately, just to have a place when he ran away. Where to stay, there is a capital to stand up, it can be said that the original intention is quite humble.

In the previous life, how did the habit of digging holes and doing civil construction come from rabbits? It is not because of insufficient hard power and insufficient mushrooms.

Now that we have the strength to resist certain risks, we need to concentrate resources to make breakthroughs and accelerate the development of a certain aspect. This is an inevitable change in the development trend.

Moreover, the iron ore in the buffalo collar, the wood in the wooden village, the stone in the ruins, and the food in the goblin town are all indispensable for the development of the territory. It is a resource point that must be opened up for the development of the territory.

Thinking of this, Owen's mood suddenly improved, and his thoughts were no longer so extreme, because looking at it this way, he didn't seem to be such a waste.

Although the development of the territory has been in constant ups and downs, fortunately, the progress value is continuously restored. The only restrictions on Owen are the progress value recovery speed and the upper limit, so as long as he does not die, there are countless opportunities to make mistakes.

For entrepreneurs, there is no better condition than this. After all, as long as the funds continue to flow, it is nothing to fail in starting a business. Failure is the mother of success, and having more stepmothers is also a kind of strength.

Of course, limited by the speed and upper limit of progress value recovery, coupled with the continuous expansion of the territory, it seems a bit powerless to rely too much on the system.

Even if the recovery speed of the progress value is accelerated again, it is still far from enough for the increasingly large territory. In the future, the population conversion alone will occupy a huge share of the progress value, and it will be long-term, let alone he has opened a bunch of sub-bases , you can't ignore it.

Owen realized that he had to make some changes and find a way to use the progress value more effectively, using the progress value as an introduction to activate the development of the territory, rather than the main force.

In addition, the growth of one's own strength must be put on the agenda as soon as possible. Yesterday, he was almost crippled by riding. No matter how effective the potion soup is, he can't toss himself like this. Moreover, he can't sleep well after drinking too much urine, and he tends to be in a trance during the day.

Owen resolutely ignored some of his own problems, coughed lightly, and then came to the hall.

The luncheon was not complicated, because Owen didn't like complexity, and he didn't need to decorate himself with complicated and cumbersome aristocratic etiquette when facing the three people in front of him, not to mention he was the biggest here, of course he had the final say.

"Try white fish and snow crab. These are the special products of the North Boundary River. You can't find them in other places." Owen didn't eat and drink. Most of the time he just tasted a few sips, and most of the time he just swayed there The red wine glass is pretending.

"It's really delicious!" Ke Lunsi said happily, completely forgetting that white fish and snow crab are the regular ingredients in the territory. My wife cooks them every two days. If it weren't for the combination of various spices, it would be delicious I should be tired of eating everything.

But Howard and his son really praised it, because they had never eaten it.

If the aquatic products of the Beijie River want to be transported to the border of the empire, even if they rush on, don't even think about it within ten days and half a month. After all, there is no post station along the way, and they can change horses without changing people.

But after such a long time, no matter how delicious aquatic products are, they should turn into rotten fish and rotten shrimps, so the two who ate it for the first time were satisfied.

Owen shook the red wine glass, but actually observed the attributes of the three.

Name: Kelunsi, Age: 34, Occupation: Noble/Swordsman, Battle Qi 400/400.

Command 30, Strength 40, Intelligence 50, Politics 35, Charisma 50.

Specialty: Quick mind.

Skills: Elementary Fighting Qi.

Name: Howard, Age: 39, Occupation: Knight/Swordsman, vindictive value 550/550.

Command 50, Strength 55, Intelligence 35, Politics 30, Charisma 35.

Specialty: brave and good at fighting, guarding one's heart and self-denial.

Skills: Intermediate Fighting Qi.

Name: Hogg, Age: 17, Occupation: Warrior.

Command 20, Strength 25, Intelligence 15, Politics 5, Charisma 15.

Specialty: brave and good at fighting.

Judging from the attributes of the three of them, although Currence's attributes have not reached the passing line, he is not a big or small talent, especially the intelligence and charisma attributes are outstanding, and he is very suitable for external personnel, such as reception, business, intelligence, etc. He is competent at any job, even if the territory expands ten times, there is still a place for him.

The newly introduced talent, Howard, also does not have the attributes to pass the line, but his specialties are good. Brave and good at fighting means that he is not only brave, but also good at commanding battles. Otherwise, he can only be described as brave.

In addition, it is good to keep your heart and self-denial, only those who can keep their heart can withstand the temptation, that is to say, he is trustworthy.

Hogg is young, and his potential has not yet been seen, but even if he is not as good as his father, after a few years of training, it is still no problem to be a small town sheriff.

An all-rounder in foreign affairs, a qualified officer, and a reserve talent, Owen smiled with satisfaction.

"Baron Currence, you have done a good job during this period. Whether the serfs you brought back or the information you collected have played an important role in the development of the territory. Very well, this is a reward for you. You can use it later. Where can I get it from Maya?" Owen took out the note he had prepared and handed it to the grateful Currence.

Because the territory lacks a commercial basis, and there is no land to spend if there is money, Owen did not offer money as a reward, but a reward of contribution value, which is limited to the use of the territory.

With this note, Currans can choose what he needs from the treasury in the territory, including clothing, decorations, furniture, spices, weapons, armor, war horses, and even soldiers and servants, except that land is not included.

Cullens was not surprised by this, because he was very keen to find that the lord was taking the path of independence.

In fact, the empire, whether the emperor or the nobles, now wants to be independent, instead of enfeoffing the land and power in their hands like following the tradition.

The original enfeoffment system came about because everyone started from scratch. The so-called emperors and big nobles were more like big brothers who took the lead. They seemed majestic, but in fact they all depended on the small groups under them. Without the help of these small groups, they would be nothing more than It's just a larger group.

Therefore, in order to appease his subordinates, consolidate the territory, and resist foreign enemies, he divided up the surrounding land and asked his subordinates to contribute money and efforts to manage the territory, as long as they paid taxes and performed military service on time.

The advantage of doing this is that you can invest all your manpower and resources on the most valuable land in your hands, and at the same time obtain a barrier. After all, if you want to hit their territory, you must first occupy the surrounding land.

There is no need to waste manpower and time to manage and collect taxes. When something happens, the younger brother will bring his own dry food to help. Therefore, the enfeoffment system was very popular at the beginning.

But those who only know how to hold on to power, because the land they can control is limited, and because their subordinates do not get the benefits of enfeoffment, they are naturally unwilling to work hard, which led to the disappearance of the monopoly system.

But from time to time, the current emperor and the great aristocrats want to take over the land and power even more, but because of tradition and fear of collective rebellion by younger brothers, they adopt more secretive methods.

However, there is a basis for monopoly in the Northland. After all, it is still a blank slate, so Cullens is not surprised that the lord chooses monopoly.
