Chapter 410: A Reminder to James
The Senwaya Range was rich in hidden resources.
The newly discovered wild apple forest was just another addition to the original rich resources, and there were new discoveries every day.
In the hall, James reported to Kant in detail about the recent changes in the city.
He had also written a brief report.
Kant flipped through it carefully and looked at the information on the construction of the city. He nodded in satisfaction. “It’s been hard on you during this period of time. You have definitely contributed to the development of this city.”
“Everything is for your service.” James lowered his head humbly.
“My compliment is sincere.” Kant put down the briefing.
He stood up, went to the window, and looked at the city under the sun.
The crowd was still bustling. Other than the lack of livestock and a large number of carriages, it was as lively as the East County. People were busy with smiles on their faces, with hope for the future.
On the city wall, Rhodok Footmen were patrolling with long spears in their hands.
Archers and crossbowmen were stationed on the arrow towers and towers.
It was peaceful and harmonious.
It was full of vigor and prosperity.
Even on the hilltop outside the mountain peak, there were many peasant farmers holding farm tools in their hands. In their respective teams, they worked hard to open up the hillsides. They worked together to transport rocks and bags of soil, building terraced fields.
There was also an elevated ca.n.a.l with terraced fields. They used water carts to lift water from the river to form a diversion.
They irrigated most of the terraced fields that had been built.
Looked at the agriculture, the wheat fields were already full of green seedlings.
There were also tiny vines in the chickpea fields that twined around the sticks that had been planted beforehand.
There were also daffodils, which drew out small green plants. In the autumn, its red petals would be the most important raw material for making dyes, which could be used to dye the cloth with beautiful patterns.
In this lush agricultural terraced field, the distribution of animal husbandry was also very meticulous.
Flocks of sheep were being driven by the shepherds.
Their bodies were covered in white fleece. They looked a little fat, but in fact, they were quite strong. Looking at their vigorous figures, shuttling through the mountains, eating wild gra.s.s leisurely. It could be seen that these sheep were very comfortable here.
These sheep provided wool.
In the crafts area on the mountaintop, many farmers and women were was.h.i.+ng and knitting wool.
Wool blankets, woolen sweaters, and other similar materials had already formed a scale and industry. Now, many people were wearing wool products that were breathable and warm.
On the mountainside.
Hundreds of grouses were flapping their wings and running back and forth.
In the fields, they pecked at the pests that could bring disaster to agriculture while feeding themselves. Then they contributed themselves into eggs on the table, chicken meat, and feathers on arrows in the military industry.
Swarms of bees flew past, humming and sucking the pollen from the wildflowers in the mountains.
It was late summer.
But there were always some flowers that pollinated.
Almost every week, they would harvest sweet honey from the hive, but because of the production problem, it could only be directly provided to Kant and a few commanders. The rest would all go to the sugar workshop and be mixed into date palm candies.
Sugar was a luxury condiment that was no less than salt, sometimes it was even slightly higher priced.
No one could refuse the sweet taste.
In fact, sugar was also seen as a kind of spice.
Now the “Aaron”, is increasing the diversion of honeycomb, let more bees to separate the nest to increase production faster, get more honey, make more date palm sugar cubes.
But sugar is needed to be processed, the requirements of raw materials are higher. The overall output was far inferior to that of salt-making.
After all, Kant still had an endless stretch of salt and alkali soil in the depths of the Nahrin Desert.
That was the landscape formed by the salt lakes in ancient times that gradually dried up over ten thousand years. If one used manpower, one could dig up a large amount of white and raw coa.r.s.e salt. With a little filtering and boiling, it would become edible coa.r.s.e salt.
If there were more detailed processes, the edible coa.r.s.e salt could completely become fine, white salt that was sought after by the n.o.ble.
However, the status of “Aaron” City was increasing day by day.
Although it did not have a pillar of table salt industry.
But with the development of agriculture, a large number of resources were discovered in the Senwaya Range, and the opening of the ancient pa.s.sage, all indicated that the city was about to enter its glory.
Especially the connection to the Resniston River, it brought this glory to its peak.
“Aaron” City was a well-deserved foundation.
An endless stream of food was produced.
A large number of military supplies were produced.
“Drondheim” Castle had already completely placed the military factories here, including more handicraft and agriculture. All that was left in the castle was the military force and a small amount of subsistence agriculture.
This was why Kant praised James.
Every time he came here, he would find new changes in the city.
James was a doctor, but his management ability was also pretty good.
More and more prosperous changes appeared in front of him, this was the reason why Kant praised James, which really surprised him.
One had to know that in the beginning, this was just a small village.
Even the peak of the mountain was not fully occupied.
But at this time, this brand-new city with a population of more than 10,000 people was finally took shape.
James was the biggest contributor!
“The new village is about to be built.” Kant turned his head.
He looked at James who was following beside him. “When the time comes, Rolf will temporarily be stationed there. I hope that you can provide the necessary a.s.sistance to help Rolf stabilize the situation of development.”
“Understood.” James nodded. “I will provide the necessary help and advice on management.”
Kant nodded in satisfaction. “Very good.”
He knew that James understood the meaning in his words.
After all, Rolf was an evil NPC and a war-type general. He was not good at managing a city.
Managing an estate was okay to him. He could use force and brutality to deter anyone. He could use strict rule and cruel methods to deter potential enemies who dared to resist. All of these were very useful in the newly conquered territory.
However, in the newly established village, it was undoubtedly not possible.
Stability and pa.s.sion were needed.
Cruel rule would only bring complaints.
Even if Rolf did not pose a threat to the civilians on his side, he would still reveal the rule method that he was best at.
If he was really good at managing the estate, then this scoundrel n.o.ble came from a kingdom in the east, would not be forced to come to the Continent of Caradia to make a fortune because of the bankruptcy of his estate.
And in the game, it had also been said that Rolf’s management level was poor.
After the players ruled the entire continent.
Rolf said that he wanted to return to his hometown.
But he wouldn’t be back for long, and the reason was that he had used up all the property he had earned.
This simply showed that Rolf, a general who was good at killing, had no concept of building and managing his estate. He was really suitable to be the executioner and work for the n.o.ble that he loyal to.
