Knight Lord: Start with Daily Intelligence

The return of Hilde, the high-ranking attendant lord, finally brought Su Li's daily routine and various meetings back on track.

Basically, as Su Li finished his breakfast, Vandal and Lunadeshan entered the manor's conference hall together.

Su Li then entered the room, surrounded by several attendants.

The two ministers sitting on the large chairs immediately stood up and bowed to Su Li, saying, "Good morning, Lord."

"Good morning, my ministers. Sit down, don't be so restrained."

Su Li waved his hand, amiably inviting them to sit down, and then he examined Vandal and asked, "Lord Vandal, how is your health recovering?"

Vandal's old face smiled brightly, and he said, "Thank you for your concern, Lord. My physical condition is very good. The adventure to the Dragon Nest this time mainly took a toll on Ashfield."

Then he looked regretful: "I personally did not expend too much energy, but it is a pity that Lunadeshan lost a Giant Moose."

Lunadeshan gnashed her teeth in anger. Although the relationship between their two churches is close, she cannot ignore her personal gains and losses.

That was a powerful Giant Moose, a sacred beast of the forest, the perfect mount pursued by any elf!

She usually reluctant to ride it, she just led it wherever she went, wishing she could hold it in her palm, and even when sleeping, this Giant Moose did not sleep in the stable, but Lunadeshan slept with it in the monastery.

It can be said that this Giant Moose is like a close comrade-in-arms, and like her closest relative.

It is impossible for Lunadeshan not to be angry when this Giant Moose died in battle! That is the sacrifice of a loved one. Her heart was bleeding.

And most likely, she will never have the opportunity to obtain such a precious and powerful Giant Moose again in her life.

But for the development of the territory, she could only grit her teeth and endure the urge to burst into abuse, forcibly squeezing out a forced smile on her face, and said: "The Giant Moose has only returned to the embrace of Taal, the god of the wilderness. It died for the development of the territory. It is precisely because of its sacrifice that the prosperity of the territory has been exchanged. The god Taal will also appreciate its contribution when he sees the territory's vigorous vitality."

Su Li showed a gratified smile and said, "It's good that you can figure it out. Loyalty will not be disappointed, and dedication will surely be rewarded. The territory will not forget the dedication of your Taal Church, and you will surely taste it in the growth of the territory."

"I believe that when the territory has a wider range of Taal Church beliefs, the church will have a greater probability of obtaining new Giant Mooses. Maybe by then the influence of our territory's Taal Church monastery will be wide, covering a large area west of the Blood Pine Forest, and your monastery can continuously train Giant Moose beast cavalry."

Everything Su Li said was not just drawing a pie for Lunadeshan, but a scene that was really being staged in the territory.

As Hei Sen Ling received more and more favor from the Goddess of the Blazing Sun, the divine grace of the territory became more and more widespread, and the entire territory almost became a place of devout faith transformed by the Goddess of the Blazing Sun. The knights of the Church of the Blazing Sun are gradually ruling the west side of the Blood Pine Forest.

This is of great significance to Hei Sen Ling. With the help of intelligence for many times, Su Li has obtained two beast cavalry, and the knights favored by divine grace have successfully tamed a griffon in the Griffon Forest.

According to the current progress, an average of one powerful griffon knight can be obtained every month.

Don't think that griffons are common just because Hei Sen Ling has many opportunities.

Hei Sen Ling was able to obtain seven or eight griffons before and after because Hei Sen Ling is close to the Griffon Forest, the griffon producing area.

Within the empire, even griffons are extremely rare.

In those knight orders that are beautifully named griffon Knight Orders, most of the knights also ride war horses! Only a small number of elites will ride griffons.

Griffons, these fierce and combative creatures, have a very high probability of death. They are not only difficult to tame, but also scarce in the wild.

Hei Sen Ling was able to obtain seven or eight griffons, most of which were griffon eggs stolen from the Griffon Forest by goblins. This is actually the balance of the food chain. If goblins did not steal eggs from the Griffon Forest to eat, a large number of griffons would form, and soon the entire western ecology of the Blood Pine Forest would collapse, and may even lead to the extinction of griffons in this Griffon Forest.

Of course, Su Li is not a believer of the Taal Church, and he is not sure whether all this is right.

The only thing he is sure of now is that he has the assistance of the intelligence system. As long as he has time to develop steadily, he can form a beast cavalry squad in one year!

12 griffon knights launched a charge, that is a turbulent offensive, which can instantly break through the defense line composed of hundreds of goblins or even green-skinned boys.

Even the Great Horned Beast group wearing plate armor and holding giant axes, if they are attacked behind by such a griffon knight, they will be severely damaged in an instant.

However, it is not easy to support such a beast cavalry!

War horses themselves are very precious, and griffons are much more precious than war horses.

They do not eat any wild vegetables or coarse grains. They only eat fresh flesh and blood. An adult griffon needs to eat half a strong bull or a fat sheep a day.

The griffons and griffons in the territory, plus the griffons on the knight order side, need to consume 60 cattle or 300 sheep a month without doing anything, just to maintain the size and ensure their growth!

This does not include the consumption of knights, nobles and commercial trade!

The territory now looks prosperous and prosperous, with such brilliant and beautiful armies, golden and majestic, all supported by a large amount of wealth behind it!

If it were an ordinary kingdom knight territory, or without the support of the intelligence system, the consumption of just these griffons would collapse a lord. The entire farming and animal husbandry industry would be running out of food, and the territory would be deserted due to insufficient food.

Even Hei Sen Ling, relying entirely on animal husbandry, cannot afford so many griffons.

The territory can sustain itself thanks to his intelligence system, which has enhanced the ability of fishing and hunting. A large amount of fish, venison and wolf meat supplement the territory's food source.

According to the feedback from the feeders, griffons are more interested in this kind of wild food. They are most interested in bear meat, then wolf meat, and finally deer meat, horse meat and beef. If there is nothing to eat, they eat sheep.

They refuse all domestic pork, as if the pork has a fishy taste.

This really reflects the noble temperament of this creature in all aspects, just like the noble nobles of the East, who only eat beef and mutton and do not eat pork.

Su Li summoned these two ministers to discuss how to support the increasingly huge beast cavalry.

These proud knights all want to raise their chins to the sky, only care about how cool, find Su Li and look like destiny is in my hands, domineeringly saying that they are going to the Griffon Forest to challenge and tame the griffon. As for how to feed them, that is completely beyond the scope of these reckless men's brains.

In the end, they brought back griffons one after another, and Su Li had to clean up the mess for them and solve the problem of food supply.

Relying on them, the griffons and they would starve to death!

Of course, Su Li complained, but it didn't stop him from smiling from ear to ear.

These griffon knights are the griffon Knight Order of Vengeance he prepared for Hilde. They will all ride griffons and be proud of their perfect performance and discipline.

If he could have a griffon knight order of 500 people, any square formation that was 충격(충격: shocked) on the battlefield would instantly fall apart.

For this grand dream, his farming and animal husbandry must be developed.

So after comforting Vandal and Lunadeshan, Su Li asked straight to the point: "What do you two have to report? Is it about the development of the territory?"

Vandal immediately nodded and said, "I had an in-depth conversation with Lord Laun, the Grand Seal Minister, about farming in the territory at the dinner party yesterday."

"The planning of Grand Seal Minister for the development of the territory is undoubtedly excellent. Under his arrangement, everything in the territory is developing at an extremely efficient rate. So during the time I was away, the territory has sown 30,000 mu of wheat fields, 5,000 mu of soybeans, 4,000 mu of cotton, rapeseed, beets, flax and other economic plants under Bjorn Bay, and even reclaimed more than 2,000 mu of pumpkins, green beans, cabbage, green onions and chives and other vegetables. The neat farmland is full of vitality and gratifying in scale."

Su Li propped his chin, nodded slightly to Vandal's report, but was not particularly satisfied with all of this.

According to the calculation of one husband carrying five people and governing 100 mu of farmland, this total of 40,000 mu of farmland and vegetables can actually be operated by only 400 households in the East!

Grand Seal Minister cultivated more than 40,000 mu of farmland with so many serfs, so many farming equipment, and the assistance of a large number of officials and priests, which cannot make Su Li particularly satisfied.

He believes that the efficiency of serfs can still have extremely high room for improvement!

This is not his greed and tyranny, but farming is related to the long-term stability of the entire territory. It is also related to the comfortable life of every family and every resident. This is something that territory managers at home and abroad attach great importance to.

The more grain output and the more abundant material conditions, the more each resident and even slaves can benefit.

At the same time, it can also support a larger army to protect their safety and interests.

Why is life in the Border Prince Territory far more difficult and dangerous than inside the empire?

The shortage of living materials is secondary, the main reason is that there is a lack of sufficient military protection here, so plundering from other territories and invasion from monsters are constantly threatening the basic survival safety of everyone.

But Vandal's next words greatly alleviated Su Li's dissatisfaction. He changed his tone and said: "But Grand Seal Minister only considered the scale of farmland, but ignored the output of land! In fact, this size is already large enough."

"Inside the empire, those lands that have not been blessed by the Leia Church will be rotated and fallow to restore the fertility of the land."

"According to the calculation of one-third of the land being fallow, in fact, the land scale of our entire territory, including villages and farms, is equivalent to 100,000 mu of arable land in the empire."

"It is not an easy task to take care of so much farmland. Without the blessing of the Morning Light Church and Taal Church priests, just the weeding and pest control of the land will consume a lot of manpower and material resources."

"Especially summer is the season when Taal's wildness spreads. Weeds grow wildly in the ground. If they are not removed in time, they will greatly affect crop output."

Lunadeshan nodded and said, "I am here to discuss this matter with the lord. I feel the gradual increase of Taal's divinity. Perhaps this summer will be a busy season."

Su Li frowned and asked, "Will it be busy for a summer?"

He thought that with the assistance of the intelligence system, it would be enough to weed only once!

Vandal's response to Su Li's reaction was very indifferent. He was used to it. The noble lords only cared about whether the farmers paid enough grain on the tax day, and would not care about the farming process at all.

In most cases, the priests of the Morning Light Church and Taal Church actively guide the farmers on how to cultivate and weed.

Vandal now serves as the Morning Light Church priest of the territory and also serves as the agricultural minister of the territory. Naturally, he has to take on the important task of guiding the entire territory's farming.

And it is rare that the lord of Hei Sen Ling is not as arrogant and stupid as other knights, thinking only about killing monsters and pursuing glory, and pays great attention to farming.

He very actively introduced: "Lord, a mu of fertile land, from sowing the seeds of hope to the golden ears in the harvest season, the difficulty of this process is more than ten times more difficult than you imagined!"

" Taal's wildness spreads, and weeds will grow wildly in the ground. Farmers basically have to remove weeds once every 2 to 4 cycles. Considering that we use the abundant life of Lake Levulin's lake water to irrigate the fertile farmland below, our territory may have to weed once every two cycles."

"And in the process of crop growth, we also need to regularly water and thinning the farmland according to the degree of drought. Regarding various economic crops, we also professionally pruning, fumigate and remove insects, and so on."

Su Li couldn't help but click his tongue: "No wonder it is said that who knows that every grain on the plate is hard-earned."

The harvested grain is really the result of from the farmers' day and night hard work in the fields.

Then Su Li directly got up and said to the two church priests: "According to my prediction, Taal's divine tide will reach its peak in three days. Before that, we need to do our best to remove the weeds in the fields to ensure the harvest this autumn."

"It is useless for us to say more here. Let's go directly to the field to take a look and guide all this."

Su Li is a man of action. He issued a decision, immediately walked out of the manor, rode his griffon Death Claw, and prepared to go to Bjorn Bay.

Hilde immediately arranged a team of guards to follow him. His every move now concerns the future of the territory, and security work is already the top priority of the territory.

It is no exaggeration to say that he is now traveling with an armed escort, when traveling, the knights cleared the way in front, the attendants guarded on both sides, and a large number of knights followed behind to protect him.

The two guard knights who followed him were the newly added griffon knight Lionheart Roland and Crystal Spear Thor.

The three of them riding the huge griffons galloped, and the momentum was very magnificent, like roaring heavy tanks.

This gave Su Li a feeling of dreaming back to his previous life, as if he was driving a large-displacement off-road vehicle.

Although it's incredibly cool, flooring the accelerator and enjoying the feeling of wind and lightning also means watching money burn away at an alarming rate.

Even with Black Forest Territory's wealth, it can't sustain the consumption of several griffins like this.

Sometimes, Su Li's dedication to farming stems not only from his inherent nature but also from the pressure of the situation.

But it must be said, the exhilarating feeling of burning through funds is unparalleled. Perhaps everyone has, at some point, dreamed of abandoning everything and enjoying unrestrained freedom and speed.

Especially with powerful female knights galloping ahead of Su Li, their hair flowing in the wind, he chased after the subtle fragrance, indulging in the ride, enjoying life, and feeling even more cheerful.

Before long, he smoothly arrived near Bjorn's Bay, leaving VanDahl and Lunadessa far behind.

This gave him the leisure to descend from the heights overlooking Bjorn's Bay and step between the fields.

It was only upon close observation of the wheat fields that he more directly understood the severity of the situation VanDahl had described.

The wheat seedlings in the field had only recently sprouted, but the weeds beside them were spreading wildly. The slopes beside the ridges even showed a large number of weeds, thorns, and wild jujubes!

These shrubs, covered in wooden thorns, densely filled the fields, vividly demonstrating to Su Li what it meant to be overgrown with weeds.

A perfectly good wheat field was almost devoid of wheat seedlings, completely covered by weeds and wild grass.

When VanDahl and Lunadessa arrived, Su Li curiously asked, "Didn't we deep-plow and weed when we cultivated the land? How did they grow so fast?"

VanDahl took a deep breath, calming his panting and fatigue from the journey, then carefully examined the field, saying, "Huh, that's strange. When I came here last night to observe, the weeds hadn't spread so wildly."

However, he didn't overthink it and then said, "This is also normal. According to the timeline, it's been almost exactly two cycles since the deep plowing of this wheat field, and the weeds should be growing."

Su Li calculated the time; it wasn't quite two cycles, but only a few days off. It could only be said that the Black Forest Territory's fertile land caused everything to grow exceptionally lushly.

Su Li then led VanDahl and Lunadessa to continue inspecting the surrounding hundred acres of land. The weeds grew relatively densely everywhere. Even in the better areas, there were various weeds between the ridges, as well as small wild jujube saplings.

Don't underestimate these wild jujubes that sprout in the wild. They may only be knee-high now, but if you don't remove them, they will grow to waist-high in one or two cycles.

And don't naively imagine that you can use wild jujubes to replace wheat for harvest. These wild jujubes only grow trees, not fruit!

A meter-high wild jujube tree is covered with thorns and barbs, but it only bears a few dozen sour jujubes, and these jujubes are not even as thick as a little finger in diameter. As if that weren't enough, eighty percent of their volume is the pit!

After seeing this, Su Li sighed, "Tar's wildness is even stronger than we imagined. It's necessary to stop continuing to sow and switch to weeding and pest control for the farmland."
