Although there was information about Magic Constructs in the System Shop, it was locked. The Construct Golems that Su Lun could currently purchase were Diamond Golems, Mithril Golems, and Adamantine Golems.
He was planning to build a golem army in the wizard tower. The main force of the golem army would be the iron golems. Suhlen had a dozen iron golems in the secret realm, but they were all repaired. Hathaway was still researching how to make iron golems, so it would take some time before she could make one.
Also, iron golems were expensive to make. The entire golem army was built with Kinnar. As for legendary golems, they could only be created by legendary adepts.
In addition to the Steel Golems, the Wizard Tower was also preparing to build a Gargoyle Golem Legion. The Gargoyle Golems were an improved version of the Obsidian Golems. The Gargoyle Golems had good physical defense, and at the same time, higher magic resistance. With these Gargoyle Golems, the Wizard Tower's anti-air power was supplemented.
Moreover, the Gargoyle Golem was different from the Steel Golem. When the Gargoyle Golem was not activated, it would enter a 'petrified' state. In this state, the Gargoyle Golem was like an ordinary statue, but its defense was very high. It was a good place to place it and act as a guard.
After the wizard tower was built, a large amount of manpower began to be released. Some of the serfs continued to farm, while others continued to build other buildings in the northern town. Although the third phase of the northern town had completed the city walls and some residential buildings, there were no public facilities.
The next step was to build roads and public facilities, such as public toilets, public bathrooms, city streets, sewers, water pipes, and many other basic facilities. At the same time, there were many empty spaces in the northern town. Some of these spaces would be used to build houses, while others would be used to build markets and business districts.
Suhlen had already planned to divide the inner town market, and part of it would be moved to the outer town. As the outer town market was gradually built, the refugees and serfs who had not yet obtained citizenship would also be moved to the outer town.
The northern town was still very busy. The farmland outside the town continued to expand, and the new farmland was planted according to the previous proportion.
The grass-roots officials in North Town City were already very experienced in this kind of work. As long as Suhlen assigned the task, the grass-roots officials would complete it very well. During this period of time, the Northern Town's official training school was doing very well. With the help of the Wisdom Church's scholars, the number of officials in the Northern Town's official training school had doubled. Finally, the shortage of officials in the Northern Town's official training school had been alleviated.
In fact, it wasn't just Northern Battlefront City. Even Mirror Lake City and Centaur City needed a lot of officials. Moreover, these two cities were lacking in officials. Suhlen had specially assigned a group of well-trained grassroots officials to these two cities. During this period of time, Suhlen had also asked his men to keep an eye on the tavern to see if there were any visitors.
However, although the tavern had a recruitment attribute, it was obviously not as powerful as the Recruitment Order. No heroes had appeared during this period of time. Although there were no heroes, there were still some ordinary talents. Suhlen had recruited a few ordinary talents from the tavern.
These people were either bankrupt merchants, nobles whose families had declined, or master craftsmen with special skills. After checking their attributes, Suhlen assigned them to suitable positions.
The development of North Town City required a lot of talents. In fact, any city that wanted to prosper needed a lot of talents. In addition to purchased slaves and migrated refugees, most of the people in North Town City were people that Suhlen had forcibly recruited from the northern provinces. Although most of these people were ordinary people, there were still some who were originally middle class or upper class people in the city.
Because of the war, they were brought to North Town City. Although many of these people didn't recognize North Town City at first and wanted to escape, after living and working here for a while, they developed a sense of belonging (in fact, what they didn't know was that this sense of belonging was the effect of the various attributes in North Town City). In addition, the refugees and serfs had a heavy workload, and the food was poor. It didn't take long for these people to express their willingness to work for Suhlen. They wanted better treatment.
Most of these people had received education and were skilled in their own fields. Therefore, the Northern Town City welcomed them with open arms.
.....
It was a sunny day.
After yesterday's rain, the temperature in Northern Town City was a bit cold. Unknowingly, it was already late autumn in the Northern Wasteland. Autumn in the Northern Wasteland was very good. The first snow of winter would come in November. It would only start to thaw in February of the next year. Therefore, there wasn't much time left for North Town City this year.
A large area of farmland outside the city was sowing seeds. Sugar beets were suitable for growing in cold climates. Sugar beets produced more sugar during this season. Now, a large number of serfs were planting sugar beets. With the Harvest Altar, sugar beets didn't need a whole year to grow. However, this period of time was the best for both yield and sugar.
In addition to planting sugar beets, some of the slaves were planting winter wheat. The demand for wheat in North Town City was very high. Normal serfs could eat potatoes, but the caravans that came to trade would definitely eat flour. Suhlen had also started to give some benefits to the soldiers and grassroots officials. For example, they would be given ten pounds of flour or some meat every month. Of course, these couldn't be eaten. These benefits were more of a symbol of status.
It made the serfs and refugees envious of those people from the bottom of their hearts. Then they would work hard, join the army, or serve the Lord.
There was also good news. The chief gourmet of North Town City, Frodo, finally succeeded in making tofu after hundreds of experiments. Last time, Suhlen wanted to make tofu, but in the end, he made soy milk. Although soy milk with some sugar tasted good, it was far worse than the variety of soy products.
Although Suhlen didn't know how to make tofu, he still gave Frodo some directions. He didn't expect the Halfling to be so obsessed with food. It took him a few months to finally make tofu. Frodo used a brown salty water, and the tofu he made tasted good.
Therefore, tofu was added to the list of delicacies in North Town City. Next, Suhlen told him various ways to cook tofu, and Frodo began to study tofu again. Suhlen was very supportive of Frodo. He was counting on the chef to replicate all the delicacies he had eaten in his previous life in this world.
Suhlen also had a deep grudge against the food in this world. Ordinary civilians basically ate mashed potatoes, potato cubes, and occasionally some fish. Although the nobles didn't lack meat, Suhlen didn't dare to compliment their cooking methods. Roasting, boiling, and frying were basically the same. Stargazy Pie from his previous life was probably a delicacy in this world.
Fortunately, there were Halflings, these little guys who liked to enjoy life and eat good food. Otherwise, the food in this world would be even worse.
In North Town City, the planting of soybeans had also begun to expand. Soybeans were one of the few crops in North Town City that could provide oil. Suhlen drew out a total of eight thousand mu of land to plant soybeans, and built ditches that extended in all directions. With enough labor, the land in North Town City was reclaimed very quickly. Now, there were almost a hundred thousand mu of farmland in North Town City, and the best land around the city had been reclaimed into farmland.
With the hundred thousand mu of land planted, the harvest could easily make North Town City self-sufficient. At the same time, there was also a large amount of surplus food to be used for brewing wine, developing the breeding industry, and supplying Mirror Lake City and Centaur City. After being self-sufficient in food, North Town City would have a firm foothold in the Northern Wasteland.
Food, land, and population were all very precious at any time. Although gold was precious, it was far less important to Suhlen. As long as he had food, land, and population, it would be easy to accumulate wealth.
After the Arcane Garden was completed, several churches had already withdrawn their people. During this time, the Temple of the Goddess of Wealth showed Suhlen what it meant to be rich and willful. Compared to most temples that were built with granite and other rocks (such as the Temple of War, which was entirely built with granite. Who asked the Temple of War to be poor?), the Temple of Wealth was built with pure white marble.
The entire temple was built with marble. Even Suhlen could not help but be shocked by the cost. In North Town City, other than the Arc de Triomphe, which was completely built with marble, only the Temple of Wealth was built with marble. Although other churches also used marble, they were not as crazy as the Temple of Wealth.
There were thousands of churches on the continent, among which there were thousands of cities that could afford to build temples. If they were built with ordinary stone, one could imagine how much money it would cost to build so many temples.
Moreover, the Temple of Wealth was not only built with marble. They also used a lot of gold to decorate the temple. Many carvings, walls, pillars, and many other places were inlaid with gold. These people were not afraid that the gold would be stolen. Suhlen could not help but feel envious. If he had not washed his hands of gold for many years, he could not help but go to the Temple of Wealth to steal some things.
The high-grade priest of the Goddess of Wealth even blinded Suhlen's eyes. The priest's robe was made of high-quality silk with a lot of golden thread sewn on it. It was completely different from the style of the priests of the Temple of Wisdom. The priest of the Goddess of Wealth had eight rings on his hand. Did he not feel that it was inconvenient to carry things?
