Chapter 226 Drawing the Sword 4
No matter how raging the war is outside, it has nothing to do with Feng Willow. He is now concentrating on farming. The undead under his command, together with the indigenous slaves, are reclaiming farmland, digging canals, and building water conservancy projects.
"Professor, based on our current rate of reclaiming farmland, I'm afraid that by next year's spring plowing time, we won't be able to reclaim all the farmland we planned." Saiyan reported to Feng Willow.
"Have all the slaves in the mines been replaced?" Feng Willow looked at the vast tracts of land in the distance, which were lying waste. He felt really distressed.
"They have all been replaced, and the refugees who fled from other cities have also been incorporated into the reclamation team. But the manpower is still a drop in the bucket, and the area you have divided is really too large.
In addition, we not only need to open up wasteland, but also level the land and dig canals. The workload is too heavy, even with the help of zombies and skeletons, it won’t work in time. " Saiya said helplessly.
"Aren't there skeleton soldiers made for ghost ships every day? Does this manpower count?" Feng Willow said with a headache. From the simple concept of the previous life, it is a sin not to grow food on such good land.
"Even if we take into account the labor of the skeleton soldiers that will be created by the subsequent ghost ships, it's still not enough. There are only two options now. Either we divide the plan of reclaiming land into three years and implement it slowly, or we capture a large number of slaves now to work for us." Saiya suggested.
After hearing Saiya's words, Feng Willow really thought about it seriously. Dividing it into three years is certainly a good idea, but he is impatient. Three years is too long. The war has been going on this year, and it will not stop in the next few years. Food will become more and more precious. Similarly, with more food, he can easily recruit enough manpower in this chaotic world.
But if we wait another three years, who knows how many people will die, and it will not be easy to recruit enough people. When the gods revive, they will also join the competition for population.
In the future, population will be the biggest resource, and the guarantee of population is food. Only with food can there be population.
Rather than developing the lands over three years, von Willow preferred to acquire more slaves.
He took out the map of the New World from the space and took a look at it. The four empires had not developed the New World very deeply. They only occupied an area on the coast and did not go deep into the inland.
The natives of the New World are not very strong, but the environment is complex and there are a large number of monsters hidden. If a large army moves out, transportation will be inconvenient and advancing inland will result in too great losses.
Therefore, the four empires tacitly kept their forces along the coast and traded with various tribes, not only for extraordinary resources, but also for various gold, silver, and other precious metals. Also, various slaves.
At the same time, they also dumped various industrial commodities to these indigenous tribes, exchanged them for various precious extraordinary resources, gold, silver, and slaves, and were responsible for instigating internal strife among these indigenous tribes.
All the forces have been marked on the map. The cities occupied by the four major empires and the cities taken down by various evil cults are intricate and intertwined.
Several of the more powerful indigenous tribes have also been dragged into the cult, and the entire body is affected by the cult.
"Professor, are you worried about who to attack in order to gain the most population?" Saiya came close to Feng Willow, looked at the map in his hand, and said with a smile.
"Indeed, the cult alliance and the four empires are at war. If we get involved, it would be bad to attack anyone, as we would be seen as taking sides." Feng Weiluo said seriously.
Although they are called the four great empires, only the Finn Empire and the Snow Empire occupy larger territories. In the New World, the Anerfa Empire has only the largest territory occupied by Feng Willo, and there are several scattered ports occupied by other nobles.
The Viking Empire also lost all the ports in the New World when it was jointly beaten by the Anerfa Empire and the Snow Empire last time. Yes, it was the Finn Empire that took them away.
Although Feng Willow's relations with these two empires are very bad and hostile, they are now fighting the cult alliance. If he stabs them in the back, the impact will be too bad.
Although there were a lot of frictions between the four empires, they were generally more cooperative in the face of the changing world. Feng Willow was still the Grand Duke of the Anerfa Empire after all, and many times, what he did could represent the Anerfa Empire. So at this time, he really couldn't stab them.
As for stabbing the cult alliance in the back, Feng Weiluo had considered it, but these guys in the cult alliance were like cockroaches and rats. They were very good at hiding and it was impossible to kill them all. They were very good at disgusting people.
Feng Weiluo himself is now considered a member of the cult alliance. Although everyone has calculations against each other, overall, there is some tacit understanding between the two sides, and these people in the cult alliance will not cause trouble in his territory.
If he stabbed the cult alliance, I'm afraid his territory would never be at peace. It's not that Feng Willow really has loyalty to these cults, but he doesn't want to provoke these stinky shits.
"Where else can we find enough people?" Feng Willow turned to look at Saiya and asked.
"Professor, have you forgotten? When we were on the Pirate Island, he was the one who openly made friends with us, and then jumped out to attack us in the crisis, and finally let him escape." Saiya mentioned this person, with resentment in his eyes.
After such a long time, Feng Willow almost forgot about it. After all, he was not the one who suffered the loss. But now that Saiya mentioned it, he remembered Captain Demetro, whose family was preparing to establish a country in the New World.
Their family is very powerful and possesses the secret technique to raise and tame wyverns. They are powerful and ambitious and want to establish a country in the New World. In order to seek the support of the Anerfa Empire, they approached Von Willow on purpose. Later, because of the support of the Finn Empire, they turned against Von Willow and finally escaped with the help of a space teleportation scroll.
After such a long time, Saiyan still gritted his teeth when he mentioned Demetro. He holds a grudge much more than Von Willow.
Feng Willow was a person who would not bear grudges unless he suffered any loss. However, what Demetro did obviously made Saiyan bear a grudge. "Are you talking about the Demetro family?" Feng Willow looked at the location of the Demetro family on the map. It was a bit far from their current territory. They had to bypass the territories of the four empires and go to a huge island in the south. From the map, the area of this island was very large, about the size of a province in the empire.
Coupled with some ports and territories in the New World, it is no wonder that the Demetro family is thinking about establishing a country and wants to be recognized by the four major empires.
With such a large territory, they are also quite powerful, and far away from the four great empires. In this area of the New World, there is really no force that can threaten them, and they can be called a regional hegemon.
From this perspective, the territory occupied by the Dmytro family is indeed a very good target. The Dmytro family has been developing in the New World for a long time, and the family territory is very rich, which is perfect for a wave of looting.
For a moment, he did think about taking over the big island occupied by the Demetro family. But when he calmed down and thought about it, the territory he occupied now had not been developed yet, and it was only half developed, and there was a lack of sufficient manpower. Food had to be eaten bite by bite, and eating too much would easily cause indigestion.
"Okay, then it's them. It's their bad luck. You go and organize the fleet, and we'll go to their territory to make some money." Feng Willow compared the distance between the two territories.
If nothing unexpected happens, a month is enough to make a round trip. Since we are going to make some money, we can't do without a boat.
Seeing Feng Willow's agreement, Saiya showed a satisfied smile on his face. Recently, Feng Willow had been reclaiming the land on a large scale, as if he wanted to develop this place. The cost was so huge that the income of the territory was not enough to cover the expenses. Even though a large number of slaves were used, tools still cost money.
Each city also needs to set up a police department, manpower, and equipment, all of which cost a lot of money. They also need to train their own sequencers and develop the Temple of the God of Friendship in their territories, which costs money everywhere. Although Feng Willow seems to be rich, he actually has no foundation.
For an individual, he was indeed very rich, but if he wanted to develop his territory, that little money and extraordinary resources would not be enough. The newly occupied territory was completely out of pocket, and if they didn't find a way to make some money, they would have to use up their capital.
Saiya is Feng Willow's butler and personal secretary, who basically controls all of his wealth. As for those small and medium-sized nobles who left their homes and careers to follow him to explore the New World, he also wants to let them see some benefits. Without benefits, who would follow him?
"By the way, go find Taris. Her knights have been training for so long, it's time for them to go out and see some blood. This is a good opportunity. Take them with you. We'll set off in three days." Feng Willow said.
"Okay, professor, the supplies can be dispatched at any time, but how big a fleet should we organize? We only have four steel transport ships. If the scale is larger, we will need to rent ships from merchants." Saiya asked.
"Since you are planning to make some money, you can't be too stingy. To import goods, you have to organize a large fleet of at least 20 ships. You can go and contact them. They want large ships, not small and medium-sized ones." Feng Weiluo said.
"This time, the main target is the population, young men and women. A large sailing warship can only transport 400 people, including 60 necessary sailors. In other words, a large sailing warship can only transport 320 people. Including our warships, it can't transport 10,000 people. I'll see if I can rent some more large ships." Saiya calculated.
"The 400 people you mentioned are for transporting guests. If it's for transporting slaves, the environment can actually be a little worse, and it won't be a problem to load twice as many. But try your best, merchant ships should not force it, negotiate well, and we'll give a high price." Feng Willow said after thinking for a while.
"I understand, Professor." Saiya said.
Feng Willow was still assured of Saiyan's work. Now, Saiyan led the priests to handle the internal affairs of the entire territory. He ruled thirteen cities as soon as he came. At the beginning, he was a little unfamiliar and made many mistakes, but he quickly adapted to it. After all, Saiyan was a person who received higher education.
Taris also heard about the expedition and was very happy. During this period of time, Saiyan had gradually straightened out the internal affairs of various cities, behaved more and more appropriately, and became more and more important to this territory, which made Taris a little anxious, because she was the legal wife.
Even the knights under Taris became excited. Since they founded the Knights, they had mostly been cleaning up the surrounding monsters or those unruly adventurers. Now they finally had a combat mission and could show off their skills.
Since they were willing to come to the New World, they naturally had the idea of making a name for themselves. When they heard that Von Willow was planning a foreign war, the morale of the entire Knights was very high.
However, there are too few masters in the Knights Temperance, so Von Willow plans to bring Medusa Westlana along as well, as the Crypt Lord's secret technique, Endless Phantom, is too useful.
In three days, Saiyan contacted thirty large merchant ships. Due to the recent wars in other places, many merchant caravans came to their territory.
Because this place is guarded by Feng Willow, the number one dragon knight on the continent, and it has not been involved in any war, it is one of the few safe places in the entire New World.
Therefore, it has become much easier for Saiyans to rent merchant ships. Otherwise, it would not be an easy task to gather so many large ships.
"Let's go!" Feng Willow stood at the bow of the ghost ship and left the port first as the flagship. Except for Taris and Saiyan, no one knew where the target was this time.
The sailors on those leased merchant ships didn't even know that they were going to a war, they just knew that they were transporting a large amount of supplies and people.
The huge fleet headed south, heading straight for the territory of the Demetro family. Such a large fleet attracted the covetousness of many pirates, but after seeing the flag of the Eye of the Sky on the ship, they consciously avoided it.
The Sky Eye, which destroyed the Pirate Alliance, was notorious among the pirates. Although many pirates were dissatisfied with Feng Weiluo, without the Pirate Alliance, their lives became difficult. But if they were really asked to fight Feng Weiluo of the Sky Eye, they did not have the courage. (End of this chapter)
