"The family harvested 3.2 million pounds of wheat, 15 million pounds of sweet potatoes, more than 8 million pounds of nuts, beans and various wild vegetables collected, and 500,000 marinated fish Pounds, 5 million pounds of hay. There are 805 beef cattle, 277 dairy cows, 184 farm cattle, 2,789 goats, 10,981 wild boars, and 173 horses."

Lilia's report caused a slight disturbance. .

"I personally harvested the crops. I harvested 400 pounds of wheat per acre! The wheat seed we planted was only 70 pounds!"

"What a miracle!"

"no! This is all thanks to the adults!"

The village chiefs discussed spiritedly, and Victor was a little proud. The deep plowing and meticulous planting method really brought a big harvest. Randal led only 600,000 pounds of wheat seeds, more than 8,000 acres of wheat fields, and an average yield of 400 pounds of wheat per mu. The planting and harvesting ratio was close to 1:6. The village chiefs who were experts in farming were dumbfounded and could not believe it.

Victor knocked on the table, the village chiefs immediately fell silent, Lilia continued to report.

“Currently, Randal’s population is close to 8,000, of which 5,000 are young and strong. There are 3,500 people in Hekou Village, 1,200 in Lord Nelson, 600 in Zhuanyao Village, and the rest are distributed among others. In 6 farms. We have to pay 8,000 people a monthly salary of 500 jinsore. Of course, this money eventually flows into the canteen. But the purchase of vegetables on the private plot has become a major expense for the family."

“Randal’s private plot is close to 1,000 acres, and we spend more than 200 jinsore on buying vegetables every month. This is the income that freelance workers can save and the net expenditure of the family.” Lilia finished speaking and looked up at Victor. At a glance, there was worry hidden in her eyes.

Randal leads the sale of purple cane wine to the York family, but the York family is temporarily unable to pay the money. They use rye and beans as compensation. Randal leads the real income from the trade in Pinewood Town. Victor sells Mithril, potions, blue bricks, snow sugar and coffee to Chebman's family, purchases fine gold, cows, sheep, horses, wheat, salt, linen, cows and sheepskins, and profits from the trade. It is 1200 kinsore per month. And Randal's expenses are almost 500 goldsore. Therefore, Randal's monthly net income is only 700 kinsols.

Lilia is in charge of the financial power led by Randal, but she has only 9,000 Kinsoul. This amount of money is too little for a viscountry, not to mention that Victor still owes the kingdom 5000 goldsoul, and this year's annuity is probably indispensable. The thought of this made Lilia a headache.

Of course Victor knows Lilia's troubles. Victor was not so poor before, but he invested a huge amount of money in the construction of Mercury and Freedmen's caravan, which is the cause of the financial strain. However, Victor just made a fortune. He found 198 Borui purple gold coins from Assassin Ace, worth 160,000 goldsall, but he didn't tell Lilia.

"Everyone already knows the situation of the family." Victor looked around and slowly said, "Although this is a bumper harvest, it is not the time for us to cheer. Because the population led by Randal is in Continuous growth, and we have not yet achieved self-sufficiency."

"I hope that by this time next year, Randal will be able to accommodate 12,000 people and will no longer need to buy food and supplies. This is for ordinary pioneers. , Is an impossible task, but we can do it! To this end, I want to make a few requirements for you."

Victor made plans for next year’s agricultural production, and he increased the wheat planting area To 40,000 acres, 60 pounds of wheat seeds will be allocated per acre. The sweet potato does not require much care, so it is directly expanded to 100,000 mu, and 45 pounds per mu is sown. Victor also requested 20,000 acres of farmland to be cultivated to grow lentils, semolina and rye. According to the plan, Victor will consume 2.4 million pounds of wheat seeds and 4.5 million pounds of sweet potatoes. It is estimated that 14 million pounds of wheat and 40 million pounds of sweet potatoes will be harvested next year.

In terms of animal husbandry, cattle and sheep are naturally the more the better, but the survival rate of captive wild boar cubs is too high, and big pigs are particularly edible, which has become a big burden. Victor decided to leave only the breeding pigs and young pigs, and slaughter all the other adult wild boars. The pork will be marinated, sold or eaten.

Apart from this, Victor also put forward the requirement of dividing pigs into households, that is, entrusting wild boars to farmer families to raise three piglets. When the wild boars are slaughtered, the farmer's family can be allocated half a wild boar. Separating pigs into households not only saves money on raising wild boars, increases the income of farm hires, but also avoids the risks brought about by centralized breeding.

After dividing the pigs into the households, the industry enters the village.

Victor’s original development idea was to first concentrate on the development of agriculture, to be self-sufficient in food, and finally to reserve a huge amount of food to provide logistical support for the large corps operations. Therefore, Victor completely handed over the professional village to the homunculus class. There is no doubt about the ability of homunculus, but their number is limited after all, and the output of daily necessities seems a little insufficient. Victor often buys a lot of linen and leather goods, for which he is often cut by Chebman's family.

This bumper harvest gave Victor great confidence. He began to consider self-sufficiency in daily necessities, while training skilled workers to pave the way for the employment system of leading people.

Zhanyao Village has been taken over by ordinary villagers, and nearly 200 alchemy militiamen have been liberated. Victor decided to put the production of flax and wood into the hands of the villagers. However, Randal is still focusing on the development of agricultural water conservancy, and it will be out of date if the professional village production model continues to be adopted. Victor's solution is to move the industry into the village.

The entry of industry into the village is actually the beginning of the employment system for the people. Victor has 6 farms under his command. He asked 2 farms to build wood workshops, 2 to build flax workshops, and finally 2 to build leather workshops. Each workshop arranges two alchemy assistants. They usually teach the villagers the skills of division of labor and cooperation. After the farm receives the production task, the village chief is responsible for recruiting personnel, organizing production, and alchemy assistants to provide technical support. Victor pays the final remuneration.

"Your villagers mainly do farm work, and all kinds of production are their sideline. But you must urge the villagers to receive training in division of labor and cooperation, and don’t think about private land all day long. I am not prepared to do so. Continue to allocate private plots. If anyone is passive, I will take back his private plots. Do you understand all of them?” Victor said to the village chiefs.

"My lord, we understand."

"My lord, don't worry. Learn a craft and make money. No one would refuse such a good thing. At the beginning, I wanted to learn Carpenter’s craftsmanship has been for Master for five years!"

Victor nodded with satisfaction, and asked: "Do you have any questions?"

The village chiefs all shook their heads, saying no problem. Only Nelson raised his hand and said, "My lord, what's going on with my territory?"

"I'll arrange it for you, and you can train the guards at ease!" Victor said angrily.

"Oh." Nelson lowered his arm contentedly.

Victor shook the head and continued: "Since there is no problem, let's discuss the matter of building the village."

After the family affairs have been dealt with, we must start to solve the problem of keeping the people out of the cold. The problem. As early as a few days ago, Victor asked the village chiefs to make preparations. He will mobilize 4,000 people to build houses for the hired workers in three months so that they can survive the cold water season. Now that the task of harvesting crops has been completed, it is time to start this project.

The village chiefs looked at each other, and Maureen raised his hands and said, "My lord, we have a suggestion. Build the cottage in Randal's collar, so that those people can move in and live there. Season, they go back to work, the village is still ours."

Victor said with a smile: "Victor said with a smile: "Victor said with a smile: "Victor said with a smile: "This is the spirit of the meeting I want to see. Although, I can't agree with this suggestion, Because once they live, they won’t go back. Who made our Randal leader so attractive?"

The village chiefs smiled proudly, and Victor continued: "We helped them today. They will help us. When the first reservoir is completed, I will mobilize those young hired workers to excavate two stream reservoirs for Randal. Although there is plenty of rain in the water season, the stream reservoir is only 80 acres in size, with more than 10,000 young people. It only takes ten days to dig it. This is the reward for our construction of the cottage."

"The cottage cannot be built as a shed. The shed is too small, the number of people it can accommodate is limited, and it consumes materials. There is too much time. I designed a large main branch. This kind of house is rectangular, 30 meters long, 6 meters wide, and 2 meters high. It can accommodate 30 people. The large main branch is made of logs and soil. Used as a wall and hay as a roof. It is not beautiful, but it must be strong. Can it be done?"

Mo Lin patted his chest and said, "No problem!"

Victor's jaw He said: "It takes three months to build a cottage with a capacity of 12,000 people. No one else can do it! But our Randal Family can definitely complete it!"

"Go back and prepare! Start tomorrow!"

When the village chiefs all left the Conference Hall, Victor asked Lilia: "How is the sheepskin jacket purchased?"

Lilia shook the head, lightly said: "We Only 2,000 sheepskin jackets were bought. Songlin Town said that if we want sheepskins, the price must go up, and three sheepskin jackets are priced at one gold sol."

Victor sighed, based on Randal Family For the mobilization and organization ability of the clan, it is not very difficult to build a 12,000-person village, but sheepskin jackets to keep out the cold can only be purchased from Chebman's family. Under normal circumstances, you can buy 12 sheepskin jackets for 1 Kingsor, but the Chebman family has increased the price by 4 times! This price is acceptable to Victor even with gritted teeth, but these materials may not be available for money.

The shortage of warm clothing is about 14,000 pieces. The Chebman family can't make up such a large number. They can only buy from other families. The price increase is also the meaning of the question. But the problem is that even if other families are willing to sell and want to collect the remaining 12,000 sheepskin jackets, most of them will have to be delayed until next year.

Fortunately, Victor was well prepared, he asked again: "How about the wool and coarse linen?"

Lilia nodded and said: "There is no problem with coarse linen. , 20 carts of coarse linen can be shipped tomorrow. The wool is out of a setback, and Songlin Town asked to exchange blue bricks for wool, and two carts of blue bricks for a cart of wool. They also asked, why do we want wool?"

Victor said with a smile: "You also want to know, right?"

"en!" Lilia snorted charmingly.

"The sheepskin scroll is an important industry of the southern lords. They use goatskin to make sheepskin scrolls. The goatskin is thick and short, and it is useless after cutting. The southern lords are in the water season every year. When I burned the wool, it is said that the discarded wool piles up like a hill."

"We bought the wool, sewed a set of clothes with two layers of coarse linen, and stuffed the wool in. That's a piece of clothing to keep out the cold."

"Ah?! That's OK?"

"What's wrong? As long as it can keep out the cold! The big main branch and the woolen jacket are just fine. The idea I came up with." Victor said triumphantly.
