Chapter 30 Development issues in the early stages of the territory

After the war, Iket faced a new problem.

The territory has been conquered, but how to develop it?

The weather-beaten Windsor Castle needs a period of repairs, and the aftermath of corruption and undead has to be arranged. Then it has to farm, find a way to earn the first pot of gold for development, and find time to engrave magic circles to summon new ones.

Regarding the general development route of the Windsor Territory, Ictor has already had some ideas. After traveling through time for so many years, he has finally figured out some things.

However, even if he had a plan to force people to join the army, Iket currently does not have enough labor force to realize it.

There are indeed many rat rats, but along the way, his rat people seem to have become a purely violent group and cannot provide labor for the territory.

On the contrary, these ratmen have become a drag on the development of the territory. At present, Ikot has only such a small population, and it will be very costly to support such an army for a long time.

It's not that he hasn't thought about summoning new rats immediately, but even though Ictor has raised a lot of food along the way, the number of rat people that can be accepted in the first batch is limited.

The climate in Windsor is pretty good. Although it is in the north of the empire, it is actually more similar to the tropics on earth, located in the middle of the entire continent.

Based on this climate condition, Iket estimates that three crops a year will not be a problem, but even so, by the time the first batch of grain is harvested, he can only feed about 300 ratmen.

To be honest, what can these people do?

The abandoned farmland is waiting to be sorted out, the castle is waiting to be repaired, and there is no time to build houses for people to live in.

"Yes, Lord Lord."

As long as they don't cause trouble, they are fine. There is no need to expect them to quickly adapt to human farming life.

When Iket saw that everyone was in place, he planned to understand the basic situation of the territory first.

"Okay, Master Iket."

This time, the highest meeting led by Windsor started without even a table.

Even if the thirty people in the caravan were added, it would not be able to support the early production needs of the territory.

The caravan leader Aris, the knight squire Yarrow, and the rat leader Genil.

How many people and supplies are in the territory, these are all things that Iket needs to figure out. Only by determining these can we formulate a more complete production plan that is more in line with the actual situation of the territory.

Throughout the entire castle, there were very few people who could read.

In addition, there are enough agricultural tools in the library for farming, which is expected to be enough for us to cultivate two thousand acres of fertile land."

"Wendsall is definitely going to develop. I called you here to standardize the development direction of the territory. But before that, I want to understand the specific situation of the territory."

At this time, the meeting hall still retains the tattered appearance after the battle, but all the unclean things were cleared away by Ictor.

"Very good, Aris, you did a great job."

Moreover, the army in the territory is also very insufficient. This is the front line, and survival is the territory's first priority.

These two people and one mouse can currently be called Windsor's three political, military and business giants, and Ickert's right-hand man.

What's more, if the Skaven are summoned and can be used as qualified labor force, Ictor thinks this is an impossible event.

Yaro also took out the parchment used for recording. The village chief's son had been educated by his father and was literate and numerate. This was why Ictor appointed him.

"Everyone, please sit down. As you can see, our territory is in the most difficult time."

Moreover, the large hole behind him also blew the cold wind mercilessly. Although it would not make him catch a cold, it was still very embarrassing.

With the new labor force of more than 300 rats, he probably wouldn't even be able to organize the farmland in the territory. By then, the progress of food production would slow down, which would be very detrimental to Windsor's ability to maintain a good pace of development.

At the end, Ictor looked at Genil. The rat-man leader really couldn't get a word in. After all, his cultural level was really limited.

"Jeniel, come and report on the current armament status of the territory."

As for livestock, we only have 7 mules and 3 cows at our disposal now, as well as 7 chickens and 8 ducks.

Danger will not wait until he is ready before it strikes. Iket needs to prepare for a rainy day.

Therefore, summoning new rats is imminent!

The situation here is very shabby. Most of his lord's high seat was destroyed by his own bombardment, and now it can only be called a stool.

Several carpenters were currently mending the hole, and several hammers were clanging.

Aris and others nodded after hearing this, and then sat on the temporarily moved stools according to Ictor's arrangement.

Yalohui reported that after hearing this, Iket couldn't help but sigh. This configuration sounds very complete, but in fact there is no labor force at all.

"Okay, clan leader, the territory currently has one, two, three, four, five, six, seven."

Taking all these factors together, Ickert felt that Windsor's early development could not follow an ordinary path.

These three people never dared to neglect Ictor's orders, and soon they were led by the maid to the meeting hall.

"Yaro, please tell me the current population of the territory."

In order to regulate the early development of the territory, Ictor asked the maid to summon all his current team members.

Iket was very happy that his efforts along the way were not in vain. These things may not seem like much, but they are necessary elements for agricultural production.

After Ictor finished speaking, his sharp eyes swept across the two people present and Yi Mouse, pointed at Aris and said:

"Aris, you will count the supplies along the way. Tell me how much food and livestock we have now."

Aris finished finishing his thoughts, took out the parchment used for recording, and said:

"Thanks to your foresight, Master, we have saved a lot of food along the way. Most of the food that Master supported you has been saved. Coupled with the seizures along the way and the supplies from the Empire's General Logistics Department, we now have enough food to occupy the territory.

Everyone inside can insist on it for one year. If it is properly stored, it can last for two years without any problem.

As for the rat people, there are a total of 65 rats from your summons."

"Lord, there are currently 26 residents in the territory, including six carpenters, one leatherworker, three blacksmiths, three stonemasons, one tailor, five maids, three farmers, and four knight attendants.

,

As expected by Ictor, Genil started to pick up his fingers mid-sentence. It was obvious that the current amount of military equipment in the territory far exceeded his calculation ability.

"Clan leader of the E clan, can you allow me to borrow the fingers of other rat men?"

"."

Ictor had nothing to say. With Genil's level of education, even if he called all the clan rats over, he still wouldn't be able to count them.
