Rise of the Plants

Please vote for November. Double monthly pass for eleventh month. It’s still the same. One hundred monthly votes will add an additional chapter.

Time flies by, and the two adjacent territories of Hongsha Ridge and Huangsha Ridge are changing all the time, and everyone is paying attention here. In a short period of time, two large cities have appeared around Hongshaling.

At the same time, three smaller cities were being established. Hongsha City itself has become a very important economic center. The Red Stone City outside, as an external city, is often more prosperous than the Red Sand City itself.

But on the contrary, Huangshaling next door is like a suburb of a big city, or even worse than a suburb of a big city.

Farah also finally discovered what the small population in his territory meant. His own soldiers simply cannot afford to organize many people. In such a huge Huangsha Ridge, the total number of soldiers now is less than 500. This was made with great difficulty by patchwork. If it continues to increase, there will be no more people to mine.

In this way, there are very few people mining, and they are all mining in the gold mines, which is not enough. Nowadays, iron ore mining in Huangshaling has basically come to a standstill. Most of the gold mines have to be handed over.

Farah had no choice but to find some people with family members, except for those who were still producing food, and forcibly organized them to establish a new caravan. Although this caravan is relatively close to Hongsha Ridge, it has to go around in a big circle every time it goes shopping, but it doesn't have any special products of its own.

As Huangshaling's reputation becomes worse and worse, Huangshaling can only use business to maintain the existence of its territory. Faced with this deteriorating situation, Farah had torn out countless hairs.

There were still some caravans coming to Huangshaling in the past, but since the road around Huangshaling was built, this better road made it easier for them to go to the nearby Hongshaling.

From now on, if Huangshaling wants to obtain some external resources, it can only use its own caravan. Unfortunately, there is no one there yet, so one can imagine the life in Huangshaling. There are too few people, resulting in not many people farming.

Nowadays, there is a saying circulating in Huangshaling that those who are closest to heaven live in hell. This is a true portrayal of their lives. Recently, I heard that Farah is preparing to disarmament and reduce the number of its own troops.

Chi Nan just understood all this and then ignored it. What Chi Nan needs to do now is to study his new land battle tank. Chi Nan believes that as long as he can succeed in his research, the pattern of the next war will change again. However, the research on this tank is not comparable to the previous pea cannons and pneumatic cannons.

The internal structure is too complicated. I am not an engineering student, so I can only experiment bit by bit. "Perhaps, we should go and see how the puppet master makes his puppets. Maybe we can learn from them."

Chi Nan stopped as he thought about it. After studying it all morning, he was already very tired. Looking at the report, there is already a lot of cotton stored today. Yes, this is the advantage of having a half-elf.

You only need to provide some seeds, and then add part of your own life magic power. Let those half-elf natural mages promote the birth, and the growth rate will be very fast. I believe that by winter, the cotton I have stored should be enough.

Also, new types of paper have slowly begun to spread. At least within Hongsha Ridge, major merchants can now basically afford this kind of ordinary paper.

Ordinary does not mean it is bad. On the contrary, this kind of paper is much better than traditional paper. The most important thing is that it is much cheaper to make, and even ordinary people can afford it. This kind of paper has now begun to spread outwards. Anyone who has used it knows that this kind of paper is much easier to use than parchment paper.

This is not promoted by Chi Nan himself, but brought out by so many businessmen who come here every day.

The last report made Chi Nan smile. The academy was finally established. The new academy is divided into two parts. One part is for magic learning. This part requires half-elf mages to select using special methods to see who has this talent.

Those who have no talent but still have time or come from a relatively good family will be sent to the academy on the other side. The academy here is mainly for learning various knowledge and becoming talents in the territory in the future. There are also some people with fighting talents who do not study in the academy, but are sent to the military camp. Those who are truly talented can learn the cross sword technique.

As for whether you can get the medicine to temper your body, it depends on whether your talent is really good.

"Very good. If those from poor families can be selected into the academy, we will provide them with some benefits. But there is one condition, that is, when they grow up, they must work for the territory for twenty years."

Twenty years is not a small amount of money, but in this world, it is still a good job, and it is not possible for others to come in. Twenty years later, they will have a strong sense of belonging to the territory.

If he still wanted to leave like this, Chi Nan would simply let him go. The recording officer next to him quickly recorded Chi Nan's order. Speaking of which, this person was arranged for him by Hermila, because it was impossible for Hermila to be by his side all the time. A recorder would record it and send it to the territorial council, who would then carry out the order.

After just finishing recording, the recorder opened his mouth, and finally reminded him: "Lord, are you ready to go to the imperial capital? There are only less than two months left before you start school."

Chi Nan was stunned and almost forgot about this matter. "I still have to go to school at this age and learn useless things. It's true." Chi Nan sighed and said silently in his heart.

"Okay, I understand. Let me inform my guards and let them prepare. We will set off in two days."

Chi Nan was helpless. He found that he had no way to complete his land battle tank before leaving. But there was no way around it. Before this kind of land battle tank was manufactured, Chi Nan never thought it would be so complicated.

"By the way, tell Hermilla that because we have to leave as soon as possible, I won't take too many people with me this time. I only need to take my guards." After adding this sentence, Chi Nan simply put down all the people. matter.

In the next few days, Chi Nan did not work or continue to study anything. Instead, he fully relaxed and patrolled back and forth in his territory. When he had nothing to do, he let Hermila accompany him everywhere.
