Heart of Empire

Chapter 36: Golden ten thousand taels (please collect!)

Views:

The so-called golden ten thousand taels once the cannon is fired, now Dane has a deeper understanding of this sentence. He knew this truth before, but in the past in the Horror Mercenary Corps, after all, he was not the real master. He had to manage the battle and the mission, but he didn't have to take care of such nonsense as firewood, rice, oil and salt. But now, he is in charge of his own affairs, and these things have to be carried together.

"Dynasty Heart" has given Dane a lot of help, but this help is by no means free. Even Dane branded the game's unit training system with a 'black shop' sign in his heart!

Sword dancers can only be regarded as a member of the ranks of light infantry anyway, at most they can be regarded as assault infantry, but the price of training is almost as high as that of training a heavy infantry on the mainland.

Looking at Dane's unpredictable face, Lancelot asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Dane popped out two words between his teeth: "It's okay!"

He is really distressed.

However, calm down and think about it, it is actually worth it. In the battle just now, the Sword Dancer Troop has demonstrated their combat effectiveness after spending such a high training price. This is definitely much better than the mercenaries under Dane. They went into battle lightly, and their movement speed and flexibility on the battlefield were unmatched by mercenaries. More importantly, after entering the battlefield, the sword dancers were really like sharp knives. stabbed hard into the enemy's heart.

After bidding farewell to Lancelot, Dane found Druifalo again. This old man who has gone through a long life cycle is the only talent recognized by the system currently owned by Dane. He was still at the upper-middle level of internal affairs, so Dane appointed him as his adjutant. When he was away, Falao was in charge of the construction of Orienado.

Recently, Dane didn't have much free time to go back, and he has been on guard against the Faceless Man tribe in the freshwater lake in Ghost Knife Port. Although he can remotely understand the status quo of Aurianadu through the information displayed on the system of "Dynasty Heart", but after all, he is not personally on the scene, and there are still many things that may be wrong. Therefore, the best starting point is to start with Farao.

"... During this period of time, Aurinadu has welcomed two groups of compatriots who have been guided from the tower of the divine guidance tree. Now, there are a total of thirty-one elves in Aurianadu. I have been With my compatriots, I have planted trees on the transformed soil around Orienado, and now I have achieved initial results. Perhaps it will not be long before a small forest will appear centered on Orienado. "

"At the same time, we have also arranged an orchard. When the Moonwell is built in the future, it is estimated that the harvest of the orchard will be very good. At least, there is no problem in supplying food to the elves, and there will be some surplus, which will be given to the ghost knife. Mercenaries in Hong Kong. I have calculated that through the moon well and the supporting orchards, and counting our future population growth, the construction of two moon wells should be enough for us to be self-sufficient, and we do not need to continue to obtain food from the outside .”

Faalo reported some news about Auriana to Dane, which made Dane smile. After being hit by bad news one after another, Fal'o's words finally comforted his heart. It is indeed a very good thing to have an older and experienced druid assisting. Originally, Dane thought that to achieve self-sufficiency in food, at least three moon wells were needed.

It is true that the spring of life produced by a moon well can only meet the needs of about a hundred people, but he has forgotten that in addition to its own spring water, the moon well also has the function of nourishing the surrounding plants. The orchard built around the moon well will solve the food problem to a large extent. Even, if you don't do orchards, but cultivate them into fields, maybe the output will be higher.

Dane mentioned this to Fal'o, and Fal'o shook his head and said: "No, no, normally, the output of an orchard needs to take into account the time it takes for trees to mature. On average, of course, wheat More appropriate. But, you know, I'm a druid, and we have moonwells and living trees. In this case, developing orchards is the most valuable. The annual food production of our one-acre orchard can reach one tons, while wheat is only about half a ton.”

"Okay..." Dane could only compromise. In fact, what he was very reluctant was not the issue of production, but the thought that he would have to eat fruit for a long time in the future, and he felt a stomachache.

Fal'o couldn't understand Dane and the food preferences of the mercenaries represented by Dane. In the druid's opinion, eating vegetables, fruits and grains was much healthier than eating meat.

Although there is a difference in taste, Dane is still very satisfied with Fal'o's work in Auriana during this period of time. He promised Fal'o that after the war, he would immediately return to Aurinadu to build the Moonwell.

After half a month of consumption of the materials brought from the mainland, there are not many left. If the food supply problem is not resolved as soon as possible, then they have to set sail quickly and return to the mainland to buy food. For Dane, who was short on funds, he was really reluctant. Although he still has some money in his hand, he can save a little bit if he doesn't know how much money will be invested in his future development.

In addition to saving, Dane's most important consideration is another issue: how to open source. It is obvious that no matter how much you save, if you want to build a territory, you must continue to need capital investment. Under such circumstances, if you don't find a way to make money quickly, sooner or later there will be a mountain to eat up. Although there is still a surplus, Dane has to plan ahead.

He didn't want to slow down the pace of development, and even thought it was too slow. If you want to develop faster, you need more gold coins, which is an obvious problem. He was even thinking about whether to go back to his old business and do some no-cost business

Thinking about it, two hours passed like this. While he was contemplating, Delin, Sacco, and Golobo on one side had already rearranged their team and were waiting for him to give orders and move eastward to wipe out the remaining forces of the Faceless Tribe in one fell swoop.

Take your thoughts back, making money must be on the agenda, but at least you don't have to think about it today. He stood up, looked around at his soldiers, and said, "Are you ready? Let's go! Let's wipe out those damned monsters and avenge our dead brothers!"
