Chapter 228: Great territorial development
Chapter 223 – Great Development of the Territory
Although not long ago thousands of aberrants passed through the place turned into a dead land, but thanks to the still constant influx of chaotic people into the Northland, it did not take long to fill the blank land, the repaired military cantonment camp once again began their hunting, the good left behind, the bad killed, the territory’s population growth once again into the fast lane.
Thanks to the good internal affairs system and strong army, as well as Owen’s mercy, the speed of assimilation of the chaotic people is very fast, even if there are restless, but also good to deal with, the military camp is the best place for them, did not look at Charlie, Monk and Kayla is only one step away from being corrected.
There is a precedent in, even if again restless, unless it is inherently chaotic and evil, otherwise they will choose to fight within the existing framework.
After eliminating this part of the destabilizing factor, the rest is well arranged.
Those who can farm go to farm, those who can graze go to graze, those who can craft go to work, those who want to be soldiers go to be soldiers, and if they think they have talent, they can also go to the town center to introduce themselves.
But even with this diversion, and the fact that there was always a surplus of people in Akita Town, the influx of people in a short period of time was still too much for the town to accommodate, and it had to be dispersed outwards.
It was unrealistic to rebuild the town, and there were only four towns in the Level 4 Town Center, which had now been given to Mara Town, Green Shade Town, Nomad Tribe, and Bison Tribe.
Therefore, Owen divided the wooden fortresses outside the original town into levels, with one hundred households as a base and three hundred as a fort, and built wooden fortresses.
In fact, it is the village, but all adult males for the militia, and release the musket regular training, so even if the face of the regular army siege can also resist for a certain period of time.
But the division is not enough, these places also need to have managers.
Owen had a bright idea, took out the virtual position of the military battalion, on the basis of which he drew a big carrot for the new population, and divided the rank of the territory into serfs, peasants, commoners, gentlemen, knights, knights, where the latter two are divided into three levels.
Gentlemen correspond to citizens, referring to the territory’s small assets of farmers and merchants, they have money but no power, so they crave recognition, so Owen gives them the vanity they need.
Gentlemen don’t have many privileges, but Owen stipulates that farmers and commoners need to bow to gentlemen and take off their hats to show respect, in other words, whoever meets them nods their head, and they don’t need to queue up.
Owen gave himself credit for being able to satisfy the vanity of this segment of the population and gain gratitude and adoration without paying any additional cost.
Knights don’t need you to be really a knightly origin, belonging to the military position outside the army system, mainly responsible for the training of the militia in the place under their administration.
Sir is higher than the status of the knight, similar to the village chief, the duty is to assist the territory to manage the local farmers, such as the organization of production, tax collection, labor, announcements and so on.
No one dislikes power, even if it’s hard, they are still willing to do it, not to mention that Owen drew a big pie to include all of them, so they are all working hard to fulfill their duties.
The stability of the territory has accelerated the development, Maya is ready to build a city, as for Owen’s previous concerns, huh, the big predators of the Empire are almost down to dinner, still worry about what, with the fastest speed to develop their own strength is the hard truth.
Owen understand this with a few years of time, but also thanks to his previous low profile, now the eyes of the Empire are on the more mature and fertile Northland border, rather than near the North Boundary River in the middle of nowhere, because the distance between them is too far, even if you ride a horse day and night will have to be a few days, the caravan will take half a month, on foot, but also a nine-death experience.
Before the emergence of large-scale cheap transportation methods, this kind of development is completely more than worth it, so unless they discover the truth of this fat fruit of Akita Town, otherwise their eyes won’t be put here in a short time.
So Owen still had time today, and it was the best time for development. For one thing, there is the foundation laid before, iron ore, fuel, stone, timber, industry, talent, food, all of these are enough to support the territory’s rapid expansion.
Secondly, the town of Ferrier has just made a big storm, and the countess also looks like someone behind me, not only take out a large amount of money to recruit the people and train the firearms army, but also held a succession of grand banquets, inviting people to participate, showing their luxurious clothing and accessories, during the food provided by a large number of spices, wine is also a rare boutique, whether it is good or not to eat is another matter, things are really expensive.
These even the general nobles can not take out, even if they take out also do not want to use in this kind of class banquet, because they do not deserve.
Now everyone is guessing that Ferrier, the countess who is famous for her beauty, has a powerful admirer, compared to that, even the town that is being rebuilt and the firearms army that is being trained are not important, not to mention the remote Hydra territory.
Third, the town of Mara, military camps and nomadic tribes, in the Northland border and Hydra territory between the formation of a dragnet, chaotic people can not come back, in the acquisition of a large number of labor at the same time, but also let the territory in a state of isolation from the outside world.
Thanks to these advantages, Maya was able to reorganize the territory, starting with the construction of the city wall.
For the construction of the wall Owen was hesitant, because before the plan to build the wall of stone required from the underground ruins, direct demolition on the line, but now the underground ruins will be the next step in the development of the focus, certainly can not be directly torn down to repair the wall, which is not worth the loss.
The good thing is that with the mining of iron ore in the Bison Territory, also accompanied by a large amount of stone, for this reason, the Queen of Flames has increased the construction of underground tunnels in the territory leading to the iron ore in the Bison Territory.
The original tunnel is more like a pipeline, because there is no need for people to drive, so the train carrying the ore are miniature, anyway, the iron ore transported does not need to remain intact, the construction of too large unnecessary.
But the stone didn’t work, so expansion became inevitable.
After the expansion, the underground tunnel from Akita Town to the Bison Territory has been able to pass the small train driven by the gnomes, which can transport one to twenty tons of goods at a time, and if it keeps going day and night, the amount of goods transported is quite considerable.
Although the witch took the space expansion bag through the flyway network delivery speed is faster, but the space expansion bag at present the territory is not able to make their own, can only be exchanged through Owen, coupled with the current need to support the supplies to the Ferrier towns, coupled with long-term considerations, Owen still agreed to continue to expand the underground tunnel plan, and ultimately to reach the standard of the dual railroads.
The puppet machinery factory located in the underground city is also working overtime to produce excavators and cranes, the quantity does not need to be too much, but it is enough to increase the progress of the project by more than ten times, but it needs to consume a lot of steel.
The development speed of Akita Town shocked some of the outsiders who stayed here, and among them, there were many businessmen with a long-term vision.
Especially after the announcement of the class division in the center of the town, these rich and powerless people can’t stand this.
Those who had the capital seized the time to set up properties, and those who didn’t found a way to join in.
After assimilation, these people were at least commoners, most of them were citizens, and there was even no shortage of noble potentials, and their joining further enriched the territory’s talent pool.
Interestingly, while the territory was busy, Owen had nothing to do.
There was no way, big things had Maya, small things had the management that had become a system, there really wasn’t much that he needed to do, so with nothing to do Owen planned to go to the Aquamarine Sea, to see what had been explored.
