"Harvest, but I didn't expect the soil of the New Delhi Peninsula to be so fertile, just by developing the plains around the city of London and the northeast corner, 55,000 kilograms of wheat was obtained, which is 5,000 kilograms more than the system estimated! And that's just the harvest of wheat, the staple food, if you count the potatoes and corn............ Distressed, now the human resources of London City are too small, although Zaraku has captured nearly 2,000 half-orc slaves, but those half-orcs are unable to transform into serfs due to the development of Nottingham, it would be great if these half-orcs were more than that............. it seems that this time it will be our turn to send troops, it would be good if we could hone a general in this battle, although Zalaku is good, but he has always been a foreign race, commanding the Orc Foreign Legion is not bad, but commanding the human legion is not good................" At sunset, Sun Lin muttered to himself as he watched the wheat storage in the granaries of London City and Nottingham Castle soar from 15,000 kilograms to 70,000 kilograms, and at the same time, accompanied by a group of generals and guards, Sun Lin finally cleared the last acre of wheat field that was nominally designated as the royal estate.
Regarding the previous management of the manor, Sun Lin also learned from Leo next to him when he arrived this morning, including the livestock and other fruits and vegetables raised in captivity nearby, were all the middle-aged fat chef who had been staying by his side and concentrating on preparing three meals a day for Sun Lin, although Sun Lin did not have much impression of this fat chef in his memory, he only remembered that every time he entered the food delivery, he was wearing a coarse linen coat and a white hat, and there was no other thing except for a kind smile on his face, but this does not mean that Sun Lin did not pay attention to himEspecially when the "Royal Zhuangyuan" was taken care of by him and several of his assistants, Sun Lin stood directly in the wheat field and ordered: "From now on, 10% of the harvest in the royal estate will go to these people, and after these people retire, in addition to the necessary compensation, the royal estate will give them 50 acres of wheat fields free of charge." I'm a dictator, but what I think is better than other dictators is that I know how to distinguish between rewards and punishments. ”
Of course, this is just a small episode, in fact, if Sun Lin follows the practice of Lao Maozi's red years, all the harvested wheat is concentrated in a unified distribution, maybe Sun Lin will get thousands of kilograms of more grain, but Sun Lin issued a law the day before the harvest day: In order to conform to the general public opinion, I, the ruler of the empire on which the sun never sets, Urban. Charlie. Sun decided that all citizens should hand over 60 per cent of their own grain and keep the rest for their own use, and if they felt they were running out, the public grain merchants in London would collect it at a reasonable price.
Although this trick seems to be exploiting the people as well, compared to the previous high income of grain, this adjustment has been very humane, and although Sun Lin did not get as much public food, Sun Lin was pleased that the population growth of London and Nottingham increased by 2%.
And the next day, that is, on the morning of May 29th, two more important pieces of information came to Sun Lin's ears, the first is that with the help of the system, after 1 month of construction, Nottingham Wooden Fort was finally transformed from a wooden castle to a castle, and the system reward obtained was to allow Sun Lin to directly upgrade the wooden castle barracks, bow and arrow workshop and stables in Nottingham Castle to castle barracks, archery shooting range and knight's stables. Then he was happy to integrate the new batch of mined silver ore into gold coins, and with the remaining gold coins in the treasury, all the rest of the facilities of Nottingham Wooden Castle began to be built, including ballista workshops, blacksmith workshops, composite mines, stone paving roads and crop rotations, and Sun Lin was also very happy to withdraw all the spearmen and civilian crossbowmen in Nottingham Castle back to London, and recruited 4 teams of hook and sickle soldiers, 4 captain archers and 2 teams of chainmail cavalry in the Nottingham Castle area.
However, a little helpless is that due to Sun Lin's crazy mining before, the silver ore on the surface of the mine has been mined, and the half-orc slaves in the mining area have begun to turn the collection point into a pit, which greatly increases the difficulty of collection while increasing the collection time, so now Sun Lin can no longer rely on the silver mines in Nottingham District to maintain the rapid development of the two areas, but fortunately, Sun Lin has changed the source of gold coins from silver mines to trade with the sea tribe at this time, although the development speed of the two areas cannot be improved again, but there is no rebound, Even if Sun Lin reduces the government's public welfare expenditure again, Sun Lin can still have the military expenditure of 3 teams of chain armored cavalry, of course, this is impossible.

As for the second important news, the public private enterprise cooperative chamber of commerce in the city of London was established under the dark operation of Sun Lin! Sun Lin holds 40 percent of the shares, while more than 10 other London City heavyweights hold 60 percent of the shares. Don't underestimate these merchants, you must know that the European merchants who can have the courage to cross the sea to Jerusalem under the control of the Muslims of the original world are either fools, or they are extremely bold and arrogant big merchants, and these merchants who negotiate with Sun Lin belong to the second type, if it weren't for Sun Lin revealing that there is a continent across the sea with a larger market, Sun Lin would share a piece of the pie with everyone, and these businessmen who don't see rabbits and eagles will not go to Sun Lin, although Sun Lin is a ruler who convinces everyone, But in their hearts, they still put their interests first.
Of course, there is also bad news that due to the fact that there is currently a war breaking out in the city where the expedition fleet is docking, although the crew and expedition members are eager to return to London as soon as possible, for personal safety and the fact that the New Delhi Peninsula cannot appear in the eyes of the world, Sun Lin finally agreed to let these people stay in the city and wait for the war to return again.
Immediately, when June was approaching and all the summer crops had been planted in the renovated soil, Sun Lin finally decided to turn on the war machine of Nottingham Castle, and on June 1, he sent 80% of the troops in Nottingham Castle to the interior of the mainland, and with the assistance of the Orc Foreign Legion, he went to the endless desert to plunder the human resources of the Orcs.
