With sufficient supplies, Suhlen began to upgrade some buildings in the northern city. Because the city had not been upgraded before, the levels of the buildings were limited.
The first to be upgraded was the lord's castle and the blacksmith shop. Because all the residents in the inner city had been relocated, the entire inner city was empty. Suhlen began to expand the area of the lord's castle.
After the entire lord's castle was upgraded, in addition to the place for him to live, there was also a place for the lord's guards and their families to live. The drill ground in the lord's castle also needed to be expanded. The stables, barracks, and so on needed to be expanded. Suhlen was ready to officially form a lord's guard.
Originally, the lord's guard was held by the barbarians. The barbarians were very aggressive, but their defense was almost zero. So he planned to form a guard that cooperated with defense.
Spearmen and archers were working together to form a small group of cavalry that would be used to transmit information and investigate. The lord's guard would not be too big. There were about two hundred people in total. The number of people would be selected from the army to join.
After Suhlen's order was issued, it only took a day for the lord's guard to be officially formed. The army was short of two hundred people, but they continued to choose from the militia to replace them.
In addition to forming the lord's guard, Suhlen planned to build several fountains in the outer city. In addition to the fountain in the central square of the northern city, the commercial district, as a bustling area, also needed a large fountain. The fountain's existence was not only to beautify the city, but also to prevent or extinguish fires.
In this era, there were no fire engines. A large number of houses were made of wood and other flammable materials. Once a fire broke out, it was likely to affect a lot of people. Even in modern society, fire was still a disaster that could not be eradicated. Every time a fire broke out, it would cause a huge loss.
Suhlen had read some information in his previous life. The capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, Bianjing, had more than fifty major recorded fires in more than a hundred years. Basically, there would be one every two or three years. Several fires had burned down thousands of houses and caused heavy casualties. Suhlen did not want the city he had built so hard to be burned down.
Therefore, after choosing an area in each area of the outer city, he built fountains. At the same time, he asked the residents and merchants of each market to form their own fire brigade. Usually, these people were just like ordinary people except for some training. Once a fire broke out, they would quickly organize and use the water from the fountains to put out the fire. All the part-time fire brigade members would be rewarded with points and money.
Although the fire brigade formed in this way was not very professional, all the areas in the city were divided. Every market had its own fire brigade. At the same time, Suhlen also planned to form a professional fire brigade after the population of the city continued to increase. The other fire brigades would be their complement.
The construction of the city proceeded in an orderly manner. Many flowers and plants were planted in the flowerbeds on both sides of the road. Trees had even been transplanted from the outside on both sides of the road. These were all done by Kris. The Abyss where the little succubus used to live was called paradise.
At this moment, Suhlen saw Kris instructing a few barbarian warriors and half-elves to plant flowers and trees.
In front of Suhlen, Kris was very obedient. After all, Suhlen could easily suppress her. Even if she was best at fighting on the bed, Suhlen's plasma cannon could still defeat her. However, she was only obedient and sensible in front of Suhlen. In front of others, Kris was secretly called a witch.
"Hmph, you bunch of idiots, hurry up and bring that big tree over. Be careful when you move, don't break it!" Kris flew in the air and waved her small leather whip, making a loud and clear sound.
"And you half-elves. I really don't understand. You are so clumsy. How do you have the bloodline of elves? I think even the goblins are more agile than you."
"You have to complete the greening of this road today. You can arrange the rest of the time as you wish. But if you can't complete it!"
"Hehe!"
Kris looked at the barbarians and half-elves with a mischievous smile. She seemed to have some bad thoughts.
"I don't remember practicing Charm. What happened last time? Two barbarian warriors kissing and hugging in the central square. Or was it a half-elf tied up in a tortoiseshell and begging to be whipped? I don't remember. "
A few barbarians and half-elves who were working couldn't help but shiver. These barbarians and half-elves were afraid of Kris not because of her strength. On the contrary, Kris rarely used force. It was because her Charm was too strong. Even the female drow, Karina, couldn't be sure that she would be immune to it.
The others were even less of a match for her. After being controlled by her Charm, Kris would order them to do all kinds of shameful things, such as being naked, being naked, courting, or being tied up. These were all her ideas. Now, her deterrence in the territory was higher than Suhlen's. At least, even if they made a mistake, Suhlen wouldn't let them run naked.
"Kris! Don't scare them. "Suhlen walked over and said.
"Yes, master." Kris quickly put away her whip and flew to Suhlen's side, pretending to be an obedient child.
"Work hard. Don't bully them." Suhlen reached out his hand and knocked Kris's little head.
"Yes, master." Kris nodded.
.....
The school had been established for some time, and the first batch of students in the territory had already been learning for some time. The adult learning speed was even faster. So far, they had already learned hundreds of words and addition and subtraction below a thousand digits.
Only the basic subjects were taught here. After all the staff in the city hall had been trained, children would be admitted to the school. In fact, Suhlen had planned to build a wizard school in the territory. However, after learning about the consumption of wizards, he decisively gave up on this unrealistic idea.
Because of the Harvest Altar, the crops in the northern town had matured in advance. Crops like potatoes took a little more than a hundred days to grow, but with the Harvest Altar, the potatoes in the territory only needed seventy days to mature.
Other than potatoes, the sugar beets in the territory had also been shortened from a year to a little more than two hundred days. Now that half of the harvest had passed, the sugar beets in the territory would be harvested in a while.
Now that the potatoes had matured, Suhlen temporarily stopped developing the land and focused on harvesting the potatoes. The importance of food in the wasteland was self-evident. If the harvesting speed in the territory slowed down, the goblins and kobolds would take the risk to come and dig.
Because of the Harvest Altar and the farm manure, the yield of all the farms in the northern town had increased. The yield per mu had increased from three hundred kilograms to four hundred kilograms.
In total, two million kilograms of potatoes were harvested from five thousand mu of land. Such a large amount of food was enough to feed the northern town for a year. As for the wheat, oats, and other crops, they still needed a few more days to mature.
After the harvest, Suhlen realized that the original granary was a little too small. It could not fit all the food they harvested this time. Suhlen arranged for people to expand the granary, and the other part was sent to the basement of the lord's mansion to store.
After harvesting all the potatoes, the large amount of labor in the territory was also released.
They started building a moat outside the northern town. The inner town walls were also being reinforced. The original five-meter-high and one-meter-wide walls were being built according to the standards of the outer town. A real shipyard was being built at the port.
Living off the mountain, living off the water.
The northern town had mountains and water. Other than the lack of transportation, it could be said that it was blessed by the heavens!
There were countless treasures in the Sierra de Lotas, but Suhlen had no way to mine them at the moment. Even if he knew that there should be a lot of minerals here, the level of civilization in this era might not be enough. Currently, the focus of the territory was still on the Red Sand River and the White Water River. Whether it was transportation or fishing, they were all very important to the development of the city.
The fishing boats that were built last year were basically scrapped. Suhlen started building a shipyard after he had enough people. The wood used to build ships usually took a few years to dry in the shade, but Suhlen did not have the time to waste. So, Suhlen used the baking method. It sped up the drying process, and then used the wood to build ships.
Fishing boats were no longer the only way to fish in the northern town. They used fishing nets to block the river, and then worked together to catch the fish.
In the evening, Suhlen returned to his territory after a busy day.
The construction of the moat had started. The moat of the northern town was a branch of the Red Sand River, and then the water was diverted into the moat. It was a huge project, and would take a long time to complete.
"Phew, Angela, come and massage my shoulders." Suhlen was too lazy to move after lying down on the chair.
Suhlen's rocking chair was carefully made by the craftsmen under his guidance. It was very comfortable to lie down on.
The little maid was very obedient today. She obediently walked over and massaged Suhlen with her chubby little hands. In terms of massage skills in the Lord's castle, Annie was still the best. Her technique was the best. However, Angela was not bad either. Her hands were soft, and her chubby little hands were very comfortable to massage.
The soft little hands pressed on his shoulders. Suhlen was so comfortable that he almost cried out.
After a while, he realized that something was wrong.
Because he felt a pair of bulging little bear breasts on his back, and then gently rubbed against him. He could even feel the little cherry on top of them.
With a soft cry, Suhlen turned over and pulled the little maid into his arms.
Looking at Angela's blushing little face, Su Lun's heart warmed up, and he used his hand to gently hold her plump breasts. (She's a little girl.) He carefully measured her breasts, and then went upstairs to check her body.
