My Empire War Game

"Your Excellency Su Lun, this is not a question of money, but no scholar is willing"

"three times!"

"Your Mightiness"

"Starting next month, your sugar and rum quotas are gone."

"Isn't he a scholar? No problem, I will definitely bring it to you." Fernand patted his chest and assured.

"Oh, it won't be too embarrassing." Su Lun said with a smile: "If it's too embarrassing, I'll find someone else. I remember that the Doron Chamber of Commerce expressed its willingness to contribute to the territory of Zhenbei City several times."

"It's not embarrassing, it's not embarrassing at all. Our Flamingo Chamber of Commerce is very willing to contribute to the construction of Zhenbei City. Please Lord Su Lun give us this opportunity." Fernand said righteously, but he couldn't help it. bleed.

"I am very grateful to the Flamingo Chamber of Commerce for their contribution to Zhenbei City. Do you have anything to say here?" Su Lun praised the Flamingo Chamber of Commerce, and then looked at the remaining chambers of commerce.

"Your Excellency Su Lun, our Bauhinia Chamber of Commerce is willing to invite a scholar to Zhenbei City."

"Your Excellency Su Lun, our Barlow Chamber of Commerce is very willing to contribute to the construction of Zhenbei City"

"Your Excellency Sullen, we"

As soon as Su Lun's words fell, several other chambers of commerce directors expressed their willingness to help Zhenbei City develop. They were afraid that they would speak slowly, and there would be no chance.

A meeting of the International Cooperation Summit Forum on the Sustainable Development of Kezhenbei City ended in a cordial and friendly atmosphere. It was decided at the meeting that six chambers of commerce, including Flamingo, Bauhinia, and Barlow, each provided a scholar for Zhenbei City to come to Zhenbei City to teach.

The teaching time is two years, and all the consumption of scholars in Zhenbei City is responsible for Zhenbei City, and at the same time, they need to pay three times the salary to the scholars. After both parties agree, it must not be violated. The lecturer needs to come when the caravan trades next month, and the lecturer needs to pass the Suren assessment. If the assessment fails, the caravan’s share of sugar and rum for the month will be cancelled and allocated to several other chambers of commerce.

And as punishment, the chamber of commerce needs to bring two scholars next month. If there is another problem, then sorry, you will be completely canceled the purchase share of sugar and rum.

After the two sides agreed, several caravans left Zhenbei City with the shares purchased this month. Now the most profitable trade in Zhenbei City is sugar and rum, which can bring tens of thousands of gold to Zhenbei City every month. Gnar's income, and Zhenbei City needs to buy various goods and slaves from other caravans every month.

Now Zhenbei City can be said to be the largest slave buyer in the northern provinces. Every time Jean's caravan buys thousands of slaves. The ratio of males to females in Zhenbei City is now very uneven. The proportion of male slaves exceeds 80%, and only 20% are female slaves.

In fact, in the slave market, the number of female slaves is far less than that of male slaves. In many cases, after the slave merchants get female slaves, the female branch offices and other industries will come to select them first, and those with a little beauty will be taken away. Only those who really can't see it will be left behind.

There is no particularly good solution for the imbalance of the population in the territory. In fact, during this time, Genn bought slaves more with skilled slaves than ordinary slaves. Zhenbei City now conducts population migration transactions with the large and small lords of the northern provinces.

The population of many lords' territories is saturated. Genn went to discuss the issue of migrants with them. As long as the money is in place, they will naturally not refuse. All refugees are managed uniformly.

First, train them in the original territory for three or five days, and at the same time let them eat for a few days, so as not to keep up with their physical strength when migrating. Let them elect a person with prestige to be the captain, and then divide them into a migration team of 500 or 1000 people to move to Zhenbei City in batches.

At the same time, each migration team arranged a team of 20 Zhenbei City soldiers and some mercenaries for protection. The road from Zhenbei City to Carter City is not too dangerous, at most there are some gnoll kobolds or goblins.

These enemies are just for those soldiers to practice, and the soldiers in Zhenbei City take turns to perform this kind of escort task, Su Lun calculated, so that almost three thousand refugees will join Zhenbei City every month.

The outer city of Zhenbei City is designed to accommodate 50,000 people for living. Su Lun plans to wait until the population of the territory exceeds 30,000 before buying slaves or immigrants, or slowing down the speed of immigration, because after the population exceeds 30,000, Zhenbei City will not be able to live there anymore. There is also room for natural birth populations.

Of course, Su Lun can also choose to continue to expand the city. It is not so easy to build a large city with a scale of 100,000 people. At that time, a large number of villages or small towns will definitely need to be built around the city, and farmers are not suitable for living in the city.

There will be a city circle around a city with a population of more than 100,000 in the world, and only a large city can be supplied with the blood transfusion of several cities. For example, the capitals of many kingdoms have a population of 200,000 to 300,000, and such cities are almost supported by the whole country.

In the past, the capitals of the ancient Hua Kingdom with millions of people would receive a large amount of food every day. If Su Lun really wanted to build a large city with a population of more than 100,000, he would first build a city circle, and then upgrade the city.

With the development of the territory, more and more people who have read books are needed in the territory, so he plans to open a training school, and let those caravans provide scholars in order to prepare teachers for this training school.

The papermaking technology used by the aborigines in this world is still very primitive, and the quality of the paper produced is not good, yellow, rough, and has poor toughness. Generally, people prefer to use parchment paper when recording important things. Of course, parchment The price of paper is too high. A book made of parchment paper is worth hundreds of gold nars.

Zhenbei City now uses wooden slips and linen for records. Only some important things will use parchment paper. After all, only one piece of parchment can be made from one piece of sheepskin.

Suren didn't have much research on papermaking, but he still knew about papermaking, one of the four great inventions that influenced the world in his previous life, so he planned to improve the papermaking in this world based on some experience in his previous life.

Because of the poor quality of paper, the papermaking technique in this world did not pay much attention to these techniques. When Suren asked Gen Genn to buy slaves, he hired a few artisans to come to Zhenbei City with high salaries. Those craftsmen were still a little skeptical when they saw the price given by Jean, but after the assurance of the local lord, they were a little skeptical. Genn directly, half-forced and half-coerced, moved these artisans and their families to Zhenbei City.

After arriving in Zhenbei City, when they were assigned housing, these people were still in disbelief. When it was confirmed that these houses were really allocated to them, the craftsmen burst out with great enthusiasm.

The day after the paper craftsmen came here, Su Lun began to study and improve papermaking. His knowledge of papermaking was limited to the records in the junior high school history textbook, so he could only combine the two to experiment little by little.

In fact, Su Lun is not good at this kind of climbing technology tree. The building in the territory that can speed up research is the academy, but Su Lun has no scholars now, and the academy cannot be built. As for the wonder building that can greatly improve the research progress and climb the technology tree" The Great Library', he also has no drawings now.

Without attribute bonuses, Su Lun had to do his own research. Although he couldn't use the academy to climb the technology tree, the attribute bonuses of some basic buildings were still useful.

After communicating with those paper craftsmen, Su Lun selected some slaves to build a paper workshop in the outer city. The workshop covers an area of ​​thousands of square meters, and the process of each step of the paper used in it should be consistent with each other. Everything.

In three days, a brand new paper workshop was built.

[Papermaking workshop: a workshop for making paper, the appearance of paper represents the spread of knowledge, papermaking technology +5, paper quality +5, work efficiency +10, territorial culture +2, prosperity +2, the spread of knowledge allows you to territory is more prosperous. 】

After seeing the properties of the paper-making workshop, Su Lun was quite satisfied, and then handed over the raw materials for papermaking to those craftsmen and asked them to make paper according to the previous craftsmanship, while Su Lun watched them make it.

After learning about the process of papermaking, Su Lun began to reconstruct this papermaking technique with some knowledge from his previous life. First of all, the raw materials are changed. Plants such as bark and jute are used. After grinding these raw materials with water conservancy machinery, they are soaked in lime water, and then produced in the order of beating, papermaking, and drying.

It took half a month to complete a set of processes, and then the first batch of paper was finally completed.

"Sir, this is paper made according to your improved process. The quality of the paper is much better than the previous paper." Joel said excitedly, holding a stack of paper and running over.

Su Lun took the paper and looked at it. This kind of paper is better than the original one, but the paper is still a little brittle, and the surface of the paper is rough, far less smooth than the paper he used in his previous life, and the color of the paper is also yellow. , The paper is also somewhat absorbent, and the writing effect is somewhat poor. In terms of overall quality, it is slightly better than the yellow paper burned at the tomb on the Qingming Festival in the previous life.

"Sir, this paper is of much better quality than the previous paper, and it can be used for writing." Joel, the foreman next to him, said excitedly.

"No, the quality of this paper is still too poor, and the craftsmanship needs to be improved." Su Lun shook his head and changed the conversation at random: "However, there is still progress in these papers, and everyone will take 10 points as a reward."

The craftsmen, who were still a little disappointed, cheered instantly.

"Okay, continue to improve the craftsmanship, and also produce some of this paper." Suren said to Joel.
