Becoming a lord in another world starts with farming

The water where the dock is built is relatively deep, so long wooden piles need to be driven in for fixation. However, ordinary wooden piles will not work. The surface must be scorched to make it more corrosion-resistant.

Several meters long wooden piles were driven into the river bottom, penetrated deep into the silt, and were covered with thick wooden boards. It was very stable to walk on. However, there were not many fishing boats docked on both sides of the pier, only seven or eight, all of them. The most common flat-bottomed fishing boat.

The original fishing boat was exchanged by Irving, and later he built it himself if the territory had the conditions. However, the boat that was built was just an ordinary fishing boat, five or six meters long and more than one meter wide, and could carry at most two or three people out fishing.

At this time, several fishermen were cleaning the catch and organizing the fishing nets at the dock. Owen went over to take a look and found that the catch was quite large, almost dozens of fish, shrimps and crabs, but he didn't recognize most of them.

In his previous life, he only knew a few types of fish sold in the vegetable market. He had never seen fish from other worlds, so he was curious.

The most conspicuous among the fish caught is a kind of white fish with a pointed head and tail, which is round and meaty with fine scales. It is delicious at first sight. There is also a kind of snow crab that is similar to a king crab. Other than that, they are almost like trash fish. I don’t even know if my appearance is bad at all.

Irving's three daily meals, including fruit drinks, are mostly redeemed from the system and then processed and cooked, and he rarely consumes ingredients produced in the territory.

At first, I was scared to eat black bread, but then it was purely out of habit. Now I saw these two kinds of aquatic products, and my mouth watered.

Owen is not afraid of poisons. Neither system soldiers nor farmers are invulnerable to all poisons. They will be injured if they should be injured, and they will be poisoned if they should be poisoned. Therefore, it will be fine if they eat it, and he will definitely be fine if he eats it. If something happens, there will be no danger. Dale's magic potion and universal system, so he asked the fisherman to send some white fish and snow crabs to the castle.

On the way back, Owen has decided to increase his fishing efforts. There are countless fish and shrimps in the northern boundary river, which would be a waste if not used, and they can also be used to supplement the protein that the territorial residents lack.

In addition, the navy must seize the time to set up, at least two arrow boats, to patrol the river and guard against barbarians from the North crossing the river to invade the territory.

During the dry season, the water in the gentle part of the northern boundary river is not very deep. It reaches up to the chest at most. With a barbarian's body, he can safely cross the river, so he has to take precautions.

The North Boundary River is a cold water river. Because its source comes from melting glaciers, the river water is as cold as well water even in summer. Therefore, the fish and shrimp in the river grow slowly, but this also increases the deliciousness of the fish and shrimp, regardless of white fish. It's delicious whether grilled or made into soup, and the snow crab is even more sweet and delicious. Owen was full of praise after tasting it.

In fact, the two are more suitable for raw food. After all, there are few parasites in Lengshui River, so you can taste the ultimate deliciousness.

Unfortunately, Owen is not used to eating raw food, so although the two are included in the recipe, they are both cooked.

While Owen was sitting at the long table in the castle enjoying delicious food, Curranth was on his way to eat and sleep in the open air.

This journey was not peaceful, as wild beasts and robbers appeared randomly like weeds in the field, which wasted a lot of his time. For example, they were encountering some troubles now.

The cuirassiers had already pulled down the visors of their helmets and could launch a fatal charge as long as they leveled their lances, while the horse archers also placed their arrows on the strings and scattered them on both sides, ready to outflank them.

Feeling the eliteness of the cavalry, the enemy did not dare to approach easily and always stayed away from a safe distance, but they were also reluctant to leave. After all, not to mention the goods carried by Kelunsi and his party, the equipment and horses on the cavalry alone could be used in the battle. In exchange for a good territory near the empire's border.

"Who among the nobles of the North uses the Hydra as their symbol?" The leading horse thief was not controlled by greed. He was more interested in the owner of this cavalry than in the immediate interests.

Although there are only twenty cavalry, in terms of equipment, horses, training, and morale, they are not inferior to the elite cavalry in the imperial frontier army. This is by no means something ordinary small nobles can possess.

"Only the Hydra family in the entire North has Hydra as its symbol, and it was also one of the most famous figures in the first Northland pioneering group."

There are two deputies beside the leader of the horse thieves, a fierce scarred face and a slightly shrewd young man, and it was the latter who answered.

"The Hydera family? It's really interesting, but you dare to call yourself a family with only one or twenty years of history." The leader of the horse thief sneered disdainfully. Obviously, his true identity is not as simple as a horse thief.

"Let's go, now is not the time to lose strength." The leader of the horse thieves waved his hand and slowly evacuated with dozens of horse thieves behind him.

Staring warily at the horse thief who was gradually retreating, Kelunsi's palms were all sweaty. Although this was not the first time he encountered a horse thief, the other party was obviously not an ordinary horse thief. At least he had never seen three of the horse thief gang master Dou Qi. A master, this strength is enough to support the title and territory of a viscount in the North. There is no need to be a horse thief, so the other party must have a problem.

Fortunately, your lord sent ten cuirassiers, ten horse archers, and two knights to follow. This allowed the opponent to retreat in the face of difficulties. Otherwise, he could not have predicted the outcome.

However, the current situation is not beyond Curranth's expectation. The members of the First Northland Pioneer Regiment are composed of scoundrels, criminals, refugees and other remnants. Although the members of the Second Northland Pioneer Regiment are stronger, they are not essentially the same. No matter what the difference is, they are all a bunch of damn scum. It is inevitable that a large number of criminals and people with ulterior motives will be mixed in. It is also normal for a group of people to pretend to be bandits and carry out primitive accumulation, because everyone does this.

In other words, no matter which Northland pioneering group, they don't even need to change their clothes, they are all bandits.

This is another bad news that Corens brought back before. Not only did the number of bandits in the North increase, but their strength and organization also improved. Many businessmen lost their money and even lost their lives.

This is not good news. Originally, the bandits wandering in the North were a group of refugees who could not survive. They did not want to be exploited like serfs, so they made a living by looting.

Because of their strength, they could only bully the weaker serfs and did not dare to provoke the escorted nobles and caravans.

The problem was how much food the serfs had, so most of the time they had to rely on hunting and stealing to make a living, and they lived a miserable life.

But when the Second Northland Pioneer Group came, everything changed.

Purchasing serfs and working hard to farm and open up wasteland is not as fast and convenient as conquering bandits and grabbing ready-made territory. Even the title is ready-made.

The noble title of Northland was bestowed by the emperor. A batch of seals were specially created as proof, so the seals were recognized but not the person.

Therefore, as long as you grab the seal and territory, you can perfectly inherit everything from the other party. It's that simple.

It can be said that the emperor had no good intentions when he did this, and it will become the source of future chaos in the North.
