Knight Lord: Start with Daily Intelligence

Fishing and hunting should not be a stable mode of production, but with Su Li's daily intelligence system assistance, the harvests were exceptionally bountiful, and the territory had initially gained a foothold.

However, relying solely on fishing and hunting is far from enough to continue expanding. The territory has nearly 200 serfs, 120 armed attendants, and 50 knights, totaling nearly four hundred people, plus hundreds of livestock. Every day, the consumption of food and fodder exceeds 2,000 pounds.

Therefore, for the territory's more stable development, Grand Chancellor Laun and Agriculture Minister Vandal focused on farming.

At their urging, Barros Dragonhammer, the dwarven rune blacksmith, was forced to moonlight as a rural farm tool blacksmith. In the past half month, he successfully forged more than 130 iron implements. He originally intended to use the remaining iron ingots to forge a set of cavalry breastplates, but Vandal, the old druid, vehemently opposed it, his imposing manner frightening. After several days of intense discussions, he actually forced the stubborn dwarf to compromise, only forging a chainmail shirt and using the remaining iron ingots with him to create a set of Nord heavy plows.

With the help of so many iron implements and three sets of heavy plows, nearly two hundred serfs, including women, the elderly, and teenagers, worked tirelessly in the fields day and night, successfully cultivating more than 1,200 acres of fertile land in 15 days.

The Brienner River is crystal clear, and the climate is mild and predictable. On the fertile plains north of the river, these twelve hundred acres of fertile land are neatly cultivated, with field ridges and roads planned very reasonably, and space is reserved for water conservancy ditches. With careful care, in time, this place will surely produce a large amount of grain.

Three farmsteads take care of this fertile land, which is divided into areas for growing wheat, carrots, and cabbage.

The climate here is mild and suitable, and the soil is fertile, allowing for three harvests a year. Therefore, half a month after the seeds were sown, vibrant green shoots have already emerged.

Looking east from Su Li's castle, the lush green fields, neat farmland, and vast pastures together form a beautiful picture, with a gentle breeze and bright sunshine, creating the perfect idyllic pastoral life.

Carrots and cabbage are both high-yield crops, and even without fertilizers, each acre can produce at least 4,000 to 6,000, easily achieving a yield of two thousand Imperial pounds per acre.

Their biggest problem is that they are difficult to store and may mostly rot within a month or two. Considering all this, a total of 400 acres were planted with the two vegetables, and the remaining 600 acres were planted with wheat. With a yield of 200 Imperial pounds per acre, there would be an income of 120,000 pounds of wheat. Once these hundreds of thousands of pounds of grain are harvested, it will be enough to supply all the people in the territory for at least a quarter, and the territory can continue to buy slaves and increase manpower.

The last two hundred acres are planted with ramie, an economic crop. To develop the territory, one cannot only consider food. Hemp can be used to make clothes, shoes, ropes, sacks, fishing nets, hunting supplies, etc. Therefore, although land and manpower are precious, Laun overruled the objections and allocated two hundred acres of fertile land.

While progress was being made in farming, the territory's military strength was also steadily improving.

On the dragon bloodstone vein in the direction of the reservoir, 47 dragon bloodstones were mined one after another! Su Li obtained 33 of them. Unable to sell them for the time being, Su Li rented 20 of them to his knights at a price of 1 gold coin/year, ensuring that all subordinates above the strength of a formal knight wore a dragon bloodstone. Under the influence of the dragon's aura, the physique of these knights is gradually becoming taller and stronger.

On the other hand, the effect of glimmerscale fish is not as direct as that of fire velvet rabbits, but a subtle and gradual process. On the day Su Li generously rewarded the soldiers, nothing happened, but in the following 15 days, a high-level apprentice knight successfully broke through to become a formal knight, and two armed attendants successfully awakened their bloodlines and were promoted to apprentice knights.

Moreover, this aptitude improvement effect will continue to be effective for a long time, and the upper limits of many knights have been raised by a notch. The scale of elite knights and formal knights will inevitably continue to increase over time. Su Li vaguely feels that his bloodline and strength are constantly improving, and it seems that breaking through to a high-level apprentice knight is only a matter of time.

This has made him secretly delighted these days. Could it be that he is actually a hidden cultivation genius?

Stern, as the second son of the Thistle Earl's guardian knight, was praised by many as a genius for possessing the strength of a formal knight at the age of 20.

Then Su Li feels that if he breaks through to a formal knight at the age of 18, wouldn't he be a genius among geniuses?

You must know that it has only been a month and a half since he broke through from a low-level knight to the present, and he has already consolidated the realm of a mid-level apprentice knight and is advancing towards a high-level apprentice knight. This speed is only slower than that of Xierude, and is already several times faster than the cultivation speed of most elite knights.

The improvement in military strength not only cheered Su Li, but also the military commander of Heissen Territory, Knight Erstein.

This proud and dignified knight attributed the main reason for the increase in military strength to his well-trained training. He wants to compete with Great Commander Oldred in every aspect, including command and training.

He is a believer of the Sun Goddess, and demands comprehensive excellence in leadership, strategy, tactics, and martial arts. Therefore, one of his goals is to train a knight order from scratch that is larger in scale and stronger in combat power than the Crimson Night Knights.

And the promotion of two armed attendants to apprentice knights undoubtedly enhanced his confidence and enthusiasm.

He is more strictly training the knights and attendant forces of Heissen Territory. The nutritional supply of this attendant company is very sufficient. Under this harsh training, its combat power is advancing by leaps and bounds. They can now be regarded as a beast killer, and even if they are immediately pulled onto the battlefield, they can have a good performance.

Of course, the border princely territory is much more tolerant and open than the empire. Transcendental power is not only limited to knights. Dwarves and elves can also show their unique racial abilities here.

Most ⊥ New ⊥ Small ⊥ Says ⊥ All ⊥ In ⊥ Six ⊥ 9 ⊥⊥ Book ⊥⊥ Bar ⊥⊥ First ⊥ Hair!

Therefore, in addition to human knights, Su Li also selected 3 teenage boys from the territory to be blacksmith apprentices at the dwarf Barros Dragonhammer. They can both learn to forge weapons and armor, and help Barros with some trivial tasks, so that this dwarf master does not have to do some trivial chores himself.

In addition, Vandal selected a thirty-year-old woman with a hidden elven bloodline from the female slaves Su Li bought and trained her to become a priest of the Dawn Church. It is estimated that it will be difficult for this woman of age and mixed blood to learn the extraordinary abilities of the elves, but it is no problem to learn the doctrines of the Dawn Church, learn the art of farming, and guide the farmers to farm.

In short, Su Li has been in a particularly happy mood for the past half month. The territory is thriving, and everything is full of vitality. He has completely regarded this place as his home and hometown. The wandering lonely soul from another world has finally found a sense of belonging in this fertile land. His heart is like a seed, rooted and sprouting in this beautiful and fertile land, blooming with the fragrance of home.
