Lord: Taken away from inheritance at the beginning.

After Korien was defeated, although the wealth in Stonefortress was almost plundered, some properties still remained.

For example, at the bird management station in the west, no one would be bored and roast a bird with only a few ounces of meat.

Nowadays, Boulder City, Chishan Town, Kanbian City and Wushanbao can all be contacted through the messenger bird, which allows McCann and Redal to communicate immediately.

At the same time, if there is an emergency, you can contact Wubei Territory through Wushanbao.

This method of "transferring one path" is still a bit troublesome. Luo Ning is going to ask the birdkeeper of Stone Castle to spend some energy on establishing a bird path between Swamp Fort and Stone Fort.

Not long after, McCann galloped back on his horse, followed by Dandy and political officer Selin.

"Sir, you are finally here!"

McCann and Sailin quickly got off their horses and saluted Luo Ning.

Luo Ning looked at the two of them up and down. After a few months, he saw more independence in them.

I think both of them have grown a lot during this period of time when they have been handling various matters in Boulder City alone.

"You are now considered a big shot in your own right. Well done!"

McCann smiled honestly, "Your Excellency, you are so complimentary."

Sailin also bowed slightly, "I am able to achieve today's achievements entirely because of your trust and support!"

He once worked for Baron Leisen of Swamp Town. After the latter's death, not only was he not disliked by Ronin, but he was reused and was assigned to serve as a political officer in Boulder City.

Now that everything in Boulder City is stabilizing, Sailin has entered the core circle. This is something he has never dreamed of.

The more so, the more he cherishes this opportunity.

"Okay, don't say it outside."

The three of them chatted for a while and then entered the Stone Castle.

After becoming the lord of Boulder City, although Luo Ning has never been to this castle, he has always kept his exclusive residence.

In the living room, McCann and Selin reported on the main situation in Boulder City.

After experiencing the initial panic, the city has now generally settled down.

Although there are still some violent conflicts from time to time, since McCann formed a knight team, such incidents have become less and less.

"The overall strength of the knight team in Boulder City is not strong. Apart from me, there is only one senior knight and two intermediate knights, and the remaining six are all juniors."

McCann said: "However, these people, plus archers, infantry and cavalry, are completely enough to maintain security inside and outside Boulder City."

Although the number of a knight team is small, only 118 people, they have an absolute advantage over ordinary people.

Without violent incidents involving huge numbers of people, so many people would be enough to suppress it.

Luo Ning said: "One knight squad is not enough. You can expand the number appropriately according to the situation."

According to the configuration of ten knight squads in a knight order, Luo Ning planned to release three teams in Wubei, two teams on Waiheke Island, and five teams in Boulder City and Chishan Town.

Shore City has deployed a knight group from Wushan Castle, and coupled with his five knight squads, the defense force in the southwest of Wushan Territory will become very strong.

However, forming so many knight teams is not something that can be accomplished overnight.

Even though Luoning now has its own iron mines, blacksmiths, and Ironwood Forest to provide weapons and equipment, the horses needed for the cavalry, as well as the logistics personnel, remuneration, and food are all issues that need to be coordinated.

Blind expansion in one go will also cause quite a few problems.

Next, Luo Ning and McCann had a serious discussion about recruiting troops in the Boulder Territory, and decided to train the infantry first, and the allocation of cavalry and professional knights was relatively slow.

This was the initial plan set by the two of them to assemble these five knight squads and initially form combat capabilities within two years.

"Sir, this is the roster of Boulder City and Chishan Town as well as the resources here."

After returning from his trip, Sailin came over with a few simple bound notebooks in his arms. These were the papers he brought with him when he left Swamp Town, and they were almost used now.

"You can apply for food, paper and other resources that are lacking in Boulder City and Chishan Town from Wilson and Chahar, but they must be recorded."

Luo Ning said while taking the notebook.

Although the wealth is essentially his, he does not take care of all the accounts.

Therefore, the transfer of resources between several territories still requires a detailed list.

"My subordinate understands!"

Selin replied respectfully, "The Lognar Society's transportation team will return from Wubei Territory and Boulder City. Anything we need will usually be transported through him."

As soon as the roster was obtained, a line of text appeared in front of Luo Ning's eyes:

["Siege the City" achievement achieved, attribute points +1000, energy essence +2000]

This indicates that Ronin's towns with a population of tens of thousands have met the five requirements for the achievement.

Luo Ning looked at the achievement interface.

He originally wanted to see how many cities were needed in the next stage, but found that the description of the achievement of conquering cities and territories had changed:

[Capture the city]: Own a large city with a population of more than 10. Rewards: attribute points +2000, energy essence +4000

The rewards are great, but the requirements are equally demanding.

A population of 10 is not even comparable to an average small county in modern times, but it is not found everywhere in the world.

One of the main reasons is insufficient food production, which limits population growth. In addition, poor medical and health conditions and frequent wars are also main reasons.

Luo Ning is still very confident in completing this achievement.

The population of the four towns in Wubei Territory has now reached 55,000. In the future, Wubei City will be built near the port and these four towns will be incorporated into it. The population will be only 40,000 short of 100,000.

Not to mention continuing to introduce people, relying on the current policy to stimulate births, coupled with the increase in the surplus grain in the hands of farmers, the population of Wubei Territory will also grow.

It is only a matter of time before it reaches 100,000.

After coming back to his senses, Luo Ning flipped through the book that Sailin had recorded about the resources of Boulder City.

Compared to Wubei Territory, the resource richness here is relatively small.

Sailin surveyed the situation of the cultivated land in Boulder City and found that the cultivated land in the mountains could barely produce enough food to be self-sufficient every year, but it was far less than enough to support the food consumption of Chishan Town.

However, the towns of Surrey and Kasir, which are close to the Altai River, produce more grain. Their lords are Philip and Thorstein who fought with Ronin. There should be no problem buying from them.

In addition to food, the most abundant thing in Boulder City is stone mines.

It's a pity that people here like to build houses with wood. After all, it is easy to mine, so the stone mine does not seem to be of much value or use.

Luo Ning looked through it carefully. The stone mines here are all non-metallic ores. In addition to the common granite, there are also limestone, quartz, non-ferrous ores, etc.

"Boulder City will still be valuable in the future."

Stone may become one of the sources of income for Boulder City in the future.

I don’t know if there is phosphate rock here. If there is, we can consider making phosphate fertilizer later to further increase the territory’s food production.

Although Wubei Ling now has organic fertilizers and swamp fertilizers, the effects are still not as good as chemical fertilizers.

Unfortunately, making fertilizer is a complex chemical industry process that requires precise control.

Perhaps in the long years to come, he will be able to reproduce chemical fertilizers in this world, but for a long time before that, compost was the mainstream.

Luo Ning closed the resource book and said to Sailin: "Let Jim, the potter from Huitu Village, have time to come to Boulder City to investigate. There should be ore materials that can be used to make glaze."

Celine's eyes lit up.

Porcelain and glazes, he heard from Wilson and knew that these were specialties of Wubei Territory and they were money-making things.

If the stones from Boulder City can assist in the production of porcelain, then there will definitely be an additional financial income here in the future.
