Chapter 25 Fengjian Manor

More than two hours later, Simon and his party arrived at Kaleil's Fengjian Manor.

The entire manor covers an area of ​​more than 300 acres. The unit used by the Eagle Kingdom to measure the size of land area is not this, so the area is actually slightly smaller than acres.

But Simon is still used to measuring in acres. One acre is about 30 meters long, 22 meters wide, and 666 square meters.

It can be seen that the Fengjian Manor occupies a relatively large area, with dozens of buildings and large farmlands built inside.

The outer perimeter is a circle of two-meter-thick and more than three-meter-high earthen walls.

Except for the lack of a castle, this place in Kaleil is already a bit like a baron's residence.

"What are you planting?" Simon asked after stopping his horse and looking for a while.

"It's wheat, barley, grapes, and hops, with barley being the most." Kaleil looked at the golden wheat waves in his field of vision and said with a smile on his face.

It was harvest time at this time, and many people in the field were harvesting.

"Sir, your slaves are all over there. I asked them to harvest wheat. They look good and are good at farm work.

The grain harvested this time will also be given to you." Kelley said generously.

"Then I will accept it. Did you buy slaves such as blacksmiths?" he asked again.

"I bought it, but not many. There are only three blacksmiths, seven carpenters, a horse breeder, two cooks, seventeen builders, and five stonemasons.

That's all. They are all very expensive. Except for the builders, each one is not less than three golden eagles.

One of the blacksmiths in his forties is even more expensive than a top-grade war horse." Kelley smiled.

"When the next few batches of slaves come, I must buy more stonemasons, blacksmiths and carpenters. They are needed for the construction of the territory.

In addition, I bought 2,000 serfs and 300 oxen, all equipped with ox carts." Simon ordered again.

"We have already purchased quite a few oxen, and now we have more than 100 of them.

Ox carts are not a problem either, as there are many free people doing carpentry in the nearby towns." Kelley nodded and said confidently.

"How much grain can we get after all the grain in the manor is harvested?"

"About 1,400 dou." Kelley said after a little thought.

The dou he mentioned is a local grain container, one dou is about 30 jin, and the measurement of the Eagle Kingdom is based on the capacity of various containers.

In addition, there are bags and baskets, one bag is 60 jin, one basket is about 120 jin, and above that is the cart, a standard cart is 1,000 jin.

Simon quickly calculated in his mind that this manor could harvest about 40,000 jin of grain, which could only last for a week if it was used to supply 3,000 people.

He realized that it was not difficult to buy slaves. Two thousand serfs, not counting technical workers, would only cost 500 to 600 gold eagles, but it was not easy to feed them.

The serfs could not be left hungry when reclaiming wasteland. A male laborer had to eat at least 3 jin of grain every day, and the next harvest would be in June or July of the following year.

That means we have to prepare a year's worth of food and grass, at least two million catties.

"Fuck! Buying these grains is not a big problem, the trouble is the transportation capacity." Simon had a headache.

Fortunately, there is a storage bar to share the burden, but it doesn't seem to be able to hold too much. At this time, more than half of the various grains have been filled in this space.

After that, he first went to see the slaves who knew technology under the guidance of Kelley.

"This is Baron Simon of Yongyi Territory, he is your master!"

After entering a yard, Kelley said majestically to the dozens of people inside.

"Master!" Hearing this, these people knelt on the ground and bowed.

"Well, get up."

Simon was quite satisfied. He had already adapted to this identity. He was undoubtedly a fool. He had thrown all the morality behind his mind.

After the slaves got up, they all bowed their heads and bent over, not daring to look at him.

After that, Simon briefly asked about their origins. There were all kinds of people. Some were slaves before, and some were free people.

The sources are also quite wide, coming from several kingdoms in Middle-earth.

They have all undergone some slave training, so they all look very obedient.

Slave traders don’t just capture people, that kind is relatively low-end.

The higher-end ones will train the slaves for a period of time before releasing them for sale.

Such trained slaves are called skilled slaves, which are much more expensive than untrained raw slaves, but skilled slaves are obviously more useful.

There are also more professional slave traders who will train some stronger slaves into soldiers, and the lowest grade can be sold for two golden eagles.

The three hundred foot soldiers ordered by Kelley from the Slave Bay are worth six golden eagles each.

Their combat power is not too strong, but fortunately they have good discipline and loyalty, and they are all brainwashed slaves.

In addition, the most famous slave soldiers in the Slave Bay are called the Fearless Iron Warriors, who are said to be bred with the help of alchemical drugs.

Each of them is a cold and ruthless killing machine, fed with unique drugs since childhood. Although they are not castrated, they do not have the desires of ordinary people.

They are very loyal and highly disciplined, and they will fight to the death.

One such warrior costs the price of a top-grade warhorse, but they are not sold individually, but in teams of fifty-four.

Because the Fearless Iron Warriors need to form a battle formation, a team is the minimum number of people to form a formation.

But there are also disadvantages. After seven or eight years, these slave soldiers will suddenly become exhausted and die soon after they are in the hands of the buyers.

After Simon saw his slaves, he lived in Fengjian Manor.

In the days that followed, Kelley was busy preparing for the wedding and never saw this person.

Until the evening of the second day, Sarit and Hilt found the Kazama Manor and they successfully completed the task.

Simon's mother is called Bara, a woman of medium build with yellowish skin. She looks like a village girl. She is only 33 years old this year and still in her prime.

She is warm and kind. When she saw Simon, she cried with joy, but she was also a little afraid. She wanted to rush over but didn't dare to hug him.

Maybe the armor scared her.

Simon's core has been changed, and he has no feelings for this cheap mother, but he still has to accept this kinship.

He took the initiative to hold her hand and talked to her in a kind way for a while.

Next to Bara was a strong little girl with reddish-brown hair, looking at Simon with a happy face.

This is his sister, named Gurney. Is she eight or nine years old this year? There is no clear indication in the inherited memory.

However, the predecessor Simon was good to this sister, and the relationship between the two was relatively harmonious. Gurney often followed him like a tail.

Simon now doesn't dislike such a cheap sister. He smiled gently at her and reached out to touch her head.

However, Gwen felt a sense of strangeness towards her brother from the bottom of her heart, and her smile couldn't help but shrink a little.

"This little girl is quite sensitive." Simon saw this scene and thought to himself.

He instantly had a hint of killing intent, but it soon dissipated.

She was just a little girl under ten years old. Even if Simon was still his original body, he would be quite unfamiliar with her after fighting with the army for so long.

"Okay, you just wait and enjoy the good life in the future.

Kailin, you take care of my mother first." Simon said after a brief greeting.

"Yes, sir." She smiled kindly.

Then, he went to arrange rooms for Bara and Gwen.

In addition, many of Simon's childhood playmates, such as Hilt, also came with him, hoping to make a career with them.

They also called friends, about thirty people, and Simon also arranged these people together.
