Chapter 231: : Reform ideas, hunting and escalation (8000 words on the day) (1/2)

”Lord Survival: Raiders from the Dilapidated Courtyard ( to find the latest chapter!

Zong Shen released his hand, and turned around and left very coolly.

Just a few steps away, there was a loud voice from the dwarf uncle behind him.

”My lord, I will fix this combat puppet within three days!”

Zong Shen waved to the rear to signal that he understood, and then walked straight to the residential area on the side. He was too in a hurry just now, and there was nothing left to Mariel.

At this time, Mariel was chatting with San Fat, and the men and women farmers were sitting nearby.

The ratio of male to female farmers in the territory is about two to one. This ratio is not too balanced, but there are not many people now. For the time being, there is no need to consider the issue of matching farmers to form a family.

But when the population is large, we need to deal with this problem seriously.

As soon as Zong Shen walked to their side, the farmers stood up and saluted him, showing great respect for him.

Zong Shen waved his hand, motioning for them all to sit down, and then came to Maryl's side.

I took out a huge stack of books, there were six books in total, all of which were obtained by Zong Shen during this time.

Including ”Herbalism Exposition”, ”Military Strategy”, ”Holy Lord's Confession” and so on, you can obtain certain attributes or master certain skills after completing the specified time of reading.

This is true knowledge is power. Unfortunately, Zong Shen doesn't have much free time. Apart from rest, it is construction or exploration and battle. Otherwise, it would be nice to take the time to read.

Zong Shen gave all these books to Mariel and kept them in her care. Firstly, she had a talent for reading, and secondly, she could find talent among farmers, and began to consider cultivating her own pharmacists and chefs for the territory.

In this way, a variety of potions and supplements can be made, forming a healthy industrial chain, using potions as the standard equipment for the soldiers, and improving the safety of the soldiers.

Of course, this is just a plan and an idea, and it may take some time from preparation to final formation.

”Maryl, these books are for you.”

”You can read more when you are fine, and we will also build our own library in the future.”

”We also need to set up schools and popularize education. Everyone has to read to improve themselves, master more life and labor skills, and improve the quality of all the people.”

”Also, take a look at who is more talented in pharmacy and cooking, and try to cultivate them.”

Zong Shen said to Mariel in front of all the farmers.

Learning this kind of thing is almost unimaginable for ordinary farmers.

Especially in this world, education is not universal.

Only the residents of giant cities and state cities have more educational opportunities.

It is almost impossible for villagers and farmers to learn. The only skills they have are gathering and production that can meet the needs of daily life.

Farming or herding cattle and sheep, coastal villagers can fish, mountain villagers can hunt, they basically master such labor skills.

For example, Erya and Xiaoping, who are in charge of farmland in the territory, are good hands in farming.

But farmers with more complex skills can only stare.

Among them, there are also some potential stocks among farmers. Zong Shen has observed that with daily labor, the qualifications of individual farmers have increased to a higher level.

There are some farmers who are really smarter than others. For example, San Fat is a very smart guy who is very flexible in work and affairs. There is also a man named Ruiou recruited from Sitano Village before. Farmers who are green are well qualified.

This shows that farmers still have the value of cultivating, and farmers can indeed serve as the population cornerstone for the long-term development of the territory.

In the short term, it depends on recruitment and plunder, but in the long term it still needs urban development and population reproduction.

In the future, the territory needs to undergo reforms in all aspects.

Regarding the reform of the territory, Zong Shen actually had a rough idea for a long time.

First, the territory needs to accumulate a certain basic population, and secondly, it is to attract enough foreign personnel to circulate. , The circulation of personnel can not only bring a variety of news, but also a large amount of materials and wealth.

Only by expanding influence and increasing communication with the outside world can we quickly accumulate wealth.

Just like Sitano Village, because a large number of merchants often come to Sitano Village to purchase agricultural and sideline products such as cattle and sheep grains, cowhide and sheep skins, it eventually became a village with a relatively large population in the surrounding area, and because of cattle and sheep The prominence of the industry, many villagers have chosen cattle grazing to make money, economic circulation, the emergence of demand promotes the development of the industry, and ultimately feeds a large number of people.

In addition, a wage system was established within the territory. Farmers and soldiers entered the stage of paid labor. However, for food and accommodation, they needed to pay a certain fee to the territory. The remaining salary could be freely used to purchase private property, forming an economic cycle and wealth accumulation.

Zong Shen can also sell land and seeds, calves, and lambs at low prices, encouraging farmers to actively go to designated areas around the territory to open up wasteland for farming and breeding.

The harvested products can allow farmers to sell in the territory, forming a healthy cycle of output and income, and absorbing wealth from the territory like a snowball, which can greatly improve the farmers' enthusiasm for production.

In addition to the economic aspect, there are other aspects of regularization reforms, including the separation of classes, the military and the civilians, and the implementation of the military service system. In addition, it must not only become a trading center for the aborigines in the region, but also a commercial center for the regional lords.

Rome was by no means built in a day, and it took a lot of water milling effort to operate it.

At least for now, Zong Shen needs to firmly grasp the general direction and begin to take precautions step by step to gradually lay the foundation for the development of normalization in the future.

Therefore, what Zong Shen explained to Mariel is also an important opportunity for these farmers.

If they can become a chef or a pharmacist, it is also a self-promotion for these farmers, and more importantly, they can master a more valuable skill.

Mariel solemnly accepted these books, and she probably knew Zong Shen's expected goal in her heart.

From the moment she joined the territory, she had a deep understanding of the current gap between the territory and the villages and towns. Once she had a goal, she should move forward courageously. At the same time, she really needed to use reading to continuously enrich herself and improve her abilities.

After Zong Shen finished explaining, San Fat got up and started to distribute food. In addition to the barbecue, each person also distributed half an apple, half a boiled egg and some boiled vegetables. Most of them were from the West Tower before Zong Shen. Food purchased from Nuocun.

Everyone was given the same food, and the food on the front line was delivered by Colby and a team of wolves.

This distribution system seems fair, but in fact it is the biggest unfairness.
