The wind whistled by, and waves of cool mist soaked the body, giving it a hint of coolness.
Chu Xin rode on a little red horse and strolled on the road in the agricultural area, looking at the scenery on both sides of the road happily.
A large number of fields are connected on both sides, and everything you see is golden in color. There are densely packed farmers working in the fields everywhere.
During this period of time, after being well fed and clothed in the territory, these farmers recovered quite well, with smiles from the heart on their faces.
They work very enthusiastically, and from time to time, a few leaders will shout a few territorial slogans, and the entire field is filled with enthusiastic energy.
On both sides of the road, wooden carts were neatly arranged, with large amounts of wheat, corn and other food crops piled on them.
Because animal power is still relatively precious now, Chu Xin also pointed out that the cows and horses in the pasture should have more babies. The energy of the delicate cows and cows must be used for other physical work, and naturally they will not do physical work like pulling carts. Therefore, here Transportation is currently done by human-pulled carts.
The road has been initially hardened, with a layer of cement paved and some gravel underneath. It still has load-bearing capacity and can carry crops in the field without any problem.
When farmers harvest the wheat and corn from the fields, they can directly pull the carts and transport them back to the warehouse in the territory.
Two people work in groups, one pulls the cart from the front and the other looks after the cart from behind. You can alternate when you get tired, which is much easier than shoulder-to-shoulder lifting.
The load-bearing standards of these roads are very low. If large-tonnage agricultural machinery or large-tonnage exotic beasts such as giant rhinos are officially put into production in the future, the roads will need to be further improved and upgraded.
The territory has only completed the basic hardening of a few main roads and field work roads, and most of the ground is still dirt.
There is no way, the output of cement is still too little. Now only the production line of the Goblin Research Laboratory continues to produce, and the daily amount is not much. Supplying the construction of the entire territory is still very problematic.
The current productivity of the territory is here. In addition to the only system production line of the Goblin Research Laboratory, it does not yet have its own production line.
Chu Xin has the formulas for cement, gunpowder and other items, but he does lack the ability to mass-produce them.
The territory cannot build a corresponding factory. To reach this step, Tony and Fairon need to make breakthroughs in the field of magic machinery, or introduce new technical talents from the outside world.
It took an unknown number of years in the old era to complete the transformation from the agricultural era to the industrial era. If Chu Xin wanted to accomplish this goal in a short time, the easiest way was to introduce mature technology.
Otherwise, relying on Tony and Fairon, even with the bonus of many factors such as the gathering of humanities, it may take a long time.
"Good morning, Lord Lord!"
"Good morning, Lord!"
…
As we walked along the road, farmers would kneel on the ground from time to time and say hello respectfully.
Most of their respect comes from the heart, because there has never been such a lord in the past who can let them live such a beautiful and stable life.
These territorial residents have experienced wars in the past, so they cherish and are satisfied with such a stable living environment more than anyone else.
Chu Xin smiled and nodded her greetings one by one, and the farmers who received the response were very excited.
In their opinion, a lord like Chu Xin should always be aloof and not approachable like this.
Along the way, Chu Xin quickly visited the entire agricultural area, and her face became a little stiff with a smile.
In fact, he is not used to the kneeling of these farmers. As a modern person, the education he has received in the past still conflicts with such a scene.
But in the end, Chu Xin did not correct the farmers' kneeling. On the one hand, the farmers did kneel down from the bottom of their hearts. On the other hand, as a lord, he still had to have his due position.
Going east along the agricultural area, Chu Xin came to the mutant plant jungle.
Mutated plants are special crops that ordinary farmers cannot take care of here. The daily care work is mainly directly handled by Yinhe.
It can directly mobilize most of the troops in the territory, and there is no shortage of manpower.
The colorful gourd vine occupies an exclusive area. This area is specially cared for by the Milky Way. Every day, elemental spring water and earthworms are mobilized to promote its growth.
They climbed on the shelf built by Yinhe and grew very lushly. There were gourds of different colors hanging on them, giving Chu Xin a strong sense of gourd baby impact.
These gourds are no longer small in size, and different elemental energies are beginning to leak out from the surface. For example, the flame gourds emit bursts of scorching heat, the ice gourds are covered with a layer of fine frost, and so on.
This is a sign that these elemental gourds are gradually maturing and can be picked immediately. Only after the previous batch of mature gourds are picked can a new batch of gourds begin to germinate.
To the left of the colorful gourd vine are large tracts of walnut trees and pomegranate trees. These are ordinary plants, subsidiary plants of the armored walnut tree and explosive pomegranate tree in the Elf Garden.
They are not small in size, and they gather together to form a fruit forest, filled with red pomegranates and green walnuts.
These two kinds of fruits are currently limited in the territory, but Chu Xin doesn't like to eat them.
The walnut tree is in the same line as the armored walnut. It is not the ordinary paper-skinned walnut. Although the shell only has a thin layer, it is extremely hard.
Even if Chu Xin wanted to eat it, she would have to use some strength to squeeze it open, and the pulp was very hard and only a little small, making it difficult to chew.
As for the pomegranate, it is a hard-seeded pomegranate and does not taste very good.
After Chu Xin tasted it once or twice, she gave up completely. Yinhe picked a batch and threw it in the warehouse. The rest were just thrown on the tree and ignored.
It is true that no one in the territory likes to eat these two things now. Cao Tuan and Bing Meng, two foodies, always focus on meat, and fruits are never on their diet.
Chu Xin actually wanted to plant a batch of common fruit trees like apples, bananas, and grapes. Given the current conditions in the territory, even if the climate conditions were harsher, these common fruit trees should be easy to support.
It's a pity that after so long, I haven't found a suitable fruit tree yet. There are so many flowers in the box, and a lot of ordinary crops have bloomed, but the fruit has really not bloomed very much.
On the right side of the colorful gourd vine, there are armored walnut trees and explosive pomegranate trees. The fruits on them are much rarer, with only a small number of fruits hanging on them.
Ripe armored walnuts and explosive pomegranates are picked every day by Galaxy and put into the warehouse in the inner city. These slightly more important materials will be stored in the warehouse in the inner city.
The shelf life of these mutant plants is quite long. In addition, the warehouse itself also has a storage mechanism. They can generally be stored for a relatively long time. Basically, there will be no big problem if they are stored for one or two years.
Chu Xin equipped Ron and Uli with some armored walnuts and explosive pomegranates as a means of self-protection.
These things are small and easy to carry around. Taking them out at critical moments can save your life.
It is not easy to cultivate a loyal management team in the territory, and Chu Xin does not want any accidents to happen to them. For this reason, he also specially equips each manager with a varying number of guards.
On the one hand, it is to protect their safety, and on the other hand, it is to enable their orders to be better implemented.
Past the mutant plant jungle is the newly established Green Devil Forest.
This forest, which covers a large area, is lush and green, covering the eastern part of the territory.
The resources in the Green Devil Forest are very rich. Chu Xin glanced inside and sensed several strange beasts. They looked at the world outside the forest with curious eyes.
For them, the boundaries of the forest have rules that restrict their entry and exit. Therefore, although these strange beasts can see the scene outside the forest, they cannot get out of it.
Chu Xin still wanted to go hunting inside, but the forest was too prosperous and there was no passage suitable for the little red horse to enter, and there were also strange beasts. If he was not careful, the little red horse might die in it.
Anyway, it's a territorial building, so it won't run away if you leave it here. Come and explore when you have time. Maybe you'll be lucky enough to find a few fruit trees inside and transplant them out.
The Boneyard was not there on Friday, and Atfield didn't see anyone. He should be undergoing transformation into a skeleton archer in the Space of the Dead.
This was the first formal task assigned by Chu Xin to Atfield, and he took it very seriously. During this period, he had been immersed in research in the Space of the Dead.
The living people's natural resistance to the aura of death made Chu Xin give up the plan of going in to check the progress. Atfield would report the results to him when they came out, so there was no need to go in to check with the aura of death.
Xiaomeng was not at the Boneyard either. Chu Xin sensed that the little girl had gone to the clay swamp, where she was happily teasing the giant crab and giggling.
Chu Xin put a lot of earth-type magic cores into the clay swamp as compensation for the continuous mining of clay. Therefore, even if it absorbed a large amount of the power of the earth-type magic cores, its overall scope did not expand much.
However, the depth seems to be much deeper than before. The mud four to five meters deep will be a terrifying nightmare for creatures of normal size.
Along the way, Chu Xin took a look at the situation of Iron Dragon Harut. It was still in a deep sleep state. Under the guise of Yunmeng dreamland, it looked like a hill.
After a period of training, Harut's condition has recovered a lot. The curse of the ghost dragon on his body has been completely eliminated, but his injuries are still recovering.
Not only was it attacked by the Red Blood Demon Mosquito, but it was also surrounded and suppressed by the undead once. Its injuries have never recovered. It was only now that it settled down in Chu Xin's territory and had time to recover.
This guy is a well-deserved big eater. When this period of time passes and its injuries recover, Chu Xin will take several buckets of dragon blood from it no matter what.
After walking around the territory for more than an hour, Chu Xin felt the thriving development of the territory through intuitive vision.
At the last stop, he came to Ron.
During this period, the population of the territory had gradually expanded to more than 1,500 people. Chu Xin used all the remaining refugee recruitment orders and recruited some in the copy exchange list.
But this population is actually very small compared to the space of the territory.
Chu Xin's current territory is equivalent to a normal county and city, plus the surrounding areas.
Even though there are a large number of restricted areas, the population of more than a thousand is indeed very small compared to a city of this size.
Among these newly added people, Chu Xin selected some people with unique skills to work in various positions, and most of the rest were assigned to Ron.
Ron now has five deputy managers under his command, who are responsible for five categories: logistics, population management, construction, skills training, and overall coordination. Together, they form the main management system of the territory.
Of course, it is mainly a management system for ordinary citizens.
With Chu Xin's consent, Ron established a contribution incentive system, which is somewhat similar to the work point system. As long as the daily work is completed that day, points can be earned by taking the initiative to work overtime or making major research achievements.
With points, citizens are allowed to exchange for some luxuries such as wine and meat, or to exchange for better houses, or even apply for better treatment.
Of course, with positive incentives, there are negative punishments. If you fail to complete the day's work, or violate the territory's system, you will be caught and severely punished.
In severe cases, they may even be thrown directly into the mines for labor reform.
There were a few undisciplined pricks before, but after being severely punished, they became much more honest.
The establishment of this system lets the people know that as long as they work hard here, their lives will get better and better.
There is hope for the future, these people have expectations, and they have more motivation to work.
Coupled with the daily cultural bombing in the territorial radio, their sense of identity and cohesion with the territory is growing, which is exactly what Chu Xin hopes to see.
It is worth mentioning that Ron's work as a matchmaker has been unexpectedly good. Currently, more than thirty pairs of people from the territory have automatically gotten together and formed new families. These people have all been registered with the population management office of the territory. .
Their marriage was protected by the territorial system.
This is a good start. For these territorial residents, having a home means that they can truly take root in Chu Xin's territory.
Those newly joined personnel who do not have any skills will be sent to the skills training department under Ron's hand, where they will be taught some skills for the corresponding positions, and then be assigned to work in the corresponding positions.
Currently, there are quite a number of people who are learning various skills such as forging, pottery firing, and cement making. Chu Xin plans to gradually cultivate this group of people into the first batch of workers in the territory.
Chu Xin planned to wait until they had learned to a certain level before trying to prepare gunpowder, cement and other raw materials.
These have already formed a certain proportion of formulas, and you only need to operate according to the fixed template, which is not too difficult.
