"Ding! The host's farming data has been loaded!"
When the farmlands outside the town reached 10,000 mu, Suhlen suddenly heard the system prompt.
He opened the system panel, and all kinds of data were clearly displayed. How much land was cultivated, how much land was cultivated, and even the current state of the farmlands, drought, pest, disease, normal, good, and so on were all displayed in the data.
With this farming system, Suhlen's control over the territory became higher, and he could also provide various solutions according to the status of the farmlands. The system automatically divided the farmlands into three grades according to the fertility of the farmlands.
Some of the 10,000 mu of farmlands had been allocated to the barbarians and the citizens of the town. As for the remaining 5,000 mu, he planned to sell them. Of course, because the population of the territory was still small, he had to wait until the population reached a certain size before he could sell them.
According to the data of the Kingdom of Florence, a family of four would need at least 10 mu of land to survive. Of course, the actual situation was about 15 mu. After all, farming technology was limited, and the output was not stable. Plus, the barbarians were big eaters, so the number of farmlands would be doubled.
When Suhlen first built this territory, he built it on the scale of 5,000 people, so he needed at least 20,000 mu of farmlands. In addition, he also needed to raise soldiers, so the number of farmlands was naturally more. So, he planned to cultivate 30,000 mu of farmlands.
If he cultivated all the land he occupied, it would be at least 100,000 mu, enough to support the early expansion of his territory. With farmlands, there would be food, and with iron ore, there would be weapons. It could be said that the basic conditions of his territory were very good.
If this was in the Kingdom of Florence, such a territory would have been occupied long ago, and he would not have a chance.
The only commodity in the territory now was weapons. The arms trade had a great political significance. It was fine to sell in small quantities, but if he wanted to sell in large quantities, he would have to get the permission of the nobles in the north. After all, this was an arms trade before he transmigrated.
Suhlen wanted to develop his territory, so he had to spend a lot of effort to find a way out of this trade. The wilderness was rich in wood resources. Of course, in this era, the development and utilization of the surrounding natural environment was still very limited. Basically, all the cities had forests outside. Unless the wood had a special use, the profits from these woods would be pitifully low even if they were transported to Calt.
Northern Wastelands.
It was said that the area was ten times larger than the entire Kingdom of Florence. There were all kinds of wild races living here. At the northernmost part of the Northern Wasteland was the Polar Glacier, which was the coldest place on the continent. It was said that Frost Giants and Giant Dragons lived there. To the east of the Northern Wastelands was the sea. To the south was Florence and the Southern Kingdoms. To the west was the Desert of Death.
Suhlen was located at the edge of the Northern Wastelands. The Northern Wastelands was actually what the southern countries called this place. In fact, it should be called the Endless Wastelands. In this wasteland, there were mountains, rivers, forests, grasslands, and even swamps. Every country wanted to take it for themselves, but after hundreds of years, there was still not much progress.
Don't think that the wastelands were filled with races like gnolls and goblins. They were at the bottom of the food chain. Barbarian tribes, ogre tribes, centaur tribes, half-elves, and orc tribes were the middle layer of the Endless Wastelands.
In addition to these, there were many unknown dangers living in this area. There were also many magical beasts living in the wastelands. For example, the Stormwind Tiger Suhlen killed last time was at the bottom of the list of high-level magical beasts. The Cryopterus was the most powerful magical beast. It was said that there were even legendary magical beasts living in some hidden areas of the wastelands. They were existences that could compete with pure-blooded Giant Dragons.
If one day, a King Kong Demon Ape or Hydra Hydra suddenly appeared in the wastelands, Suhlen wouldn't be surprised.
Suhlen was patrolling the surrounding wastelands with his men. He wanted to find resources that could be traded in his territory. If he was lucky enough to find a gold mine, then he would have all the funds to develop his territory. Unfortunately, gold was something that could only be hoped for.
"Boss, it's already noon. Let's eat and rest first," a barbarian warrior reminded him.
"It's already noon." Suhlen looked at the sky and said, "Let's go hunt around and get some food. We'll continue looking after we're full."
They found a high ground and started a fire to cook. Two barbarian warriors went to hunt while the others stood guard around. Suhlen opened the system's strategic map and marked it.
In the past few days, he did find some resources, but none of them were worth developing. There was no gold mine in his territory. If he found a salt mine, it would be a big deal. Salt was a necessary condiment for humans and was a very important resource. If Suhlen found a salt mine, he could quickly make a fortune by selling it. Unfortunately, he didn't find a salt lake or a salt mine.
A fragrance drifted over and attracted his attention. Suhlen looked up and saw that lunch was ready. He put down his thoughts and took out his utensils to enjoy the delicious meal.
The main dish for lunch was a Mongolian gazelle, which had been roasted and sprinkled with a layer of special seasoning. Su Lun ate a large piece of it. There was also a pot of fish soup in an iron pot next to him. In addition to fish, there were also some plant tubers in it.
After eating the roasted meat, a large bowl of fish soup was filled. Suhlen enjoyed the food with a satisfied expression. However, as soon as the fish soup entered his mouth, his expression suddenly changed. He quickly drank a few more mouthfuls as if to confirm something.
"Robben, who made the soup today?" Suhlen shouted in surprise.
"What's wrong, boss? Is there a problem with the soup? "Robben's expression changed and he looked around vigilantly.
"Don't worry, there's nothing wrong with the soup," Suhlen quickly explained when he saw Robben's nervous expression.
"And it tastes good. I just want to know who made the soup."
"Is that so? Today's soup was made by Bard. He's standing guard over there. I'll call him over." Robben quickly came over with a barbarian warrior.
"You're Bard?"
"Yes, boss. I'm Bard. I joined the territory with the Boulder leader," Bard said excitedly.
Suhlen nodded and pointed at the bowl of soup. "You made the soup today?"
"Yes."
"What method did you use to make it sweet?" Su Lun hurriedly asked after getting the confirmation.
"Oh, you're asking about the beetroot, right?" Bard said with realization.
