Mobilizing serfs, the first pioneering war begins

The purchase of the serfs was completed at a cost of 540 gold coins, and then Thor once again purchased a large amount of daily necessities, especially grain.

After all, if three thousand people are added at this moment, his population will also increase from close to one thousand to close to four thousand, and the consumption will naturally be different.

In fact, food consumption is the biggest contributor.

One person eats 0.4 to 0.5 pounds of food per day, and 3,000 people eat 1,200 pounds per day, which is 36,000 pounds per month.

The price of food has more than tripled in the entire Northland Province.

Originally, the price of one pound of buckwheat in Frost Moon Province was only about three copper coins, but the price of one pound of grain in Frost Moon Province was more than ten copper coins. Sometimes the price of grain could even soar to twelve copper coins. On top of a copper coin.

And that's just buckwheat.

Wheat costs more.

The price of wheat in Frost Moon Province is likely to be ten copper coins per pound, while in Northland Province it is fifty copper coins.

The daily consumption of three thousand people, even if it is just buckwheat, is at least 36,000 copper coins a month, which is on top of 3,600 silver coins, the monthly expenditure is 36 gold coins. And if it is wheat, It has reached more than 180 gold coins, which is only a month's consumption.

In one year, that is the cost of more than a thousand gold coins.

To be honest, even the average Viscount family may not be able to support it.

Even the pioneering children of the Earl family would find it difficult to arrive in a short time.

After all, not any family was like Count Engel Dressrosa, who gave support of hundreds of thousands of gold coins with a wave of his hand.

That is also a huge financial expenditure for an earl family.

In this case.

This is also the problem with the fact that most of the pioneering lords cannot sustain themselves and meet the kingdom's assessment standards.

But for Thor, it's enough to hold on for the time being.

The number of gold coins directly given by his father, Count Engel Dressrosa, amounted to tens of thousands.

Let alone one year, even two years are obviously enough.

And there are iron ores.

The next economic problem will not be a big problem.

Then there is no need to think about it.

evening.

Wren returned with dozens of knights.

Meng Huoyou was brought back.

At the same time, three thousand strong slaves from the Habsburg Chamber of Commerce were also transported.

on the second day.

The group of people set off again in great force.

Head back towards Eagle Ridge.

This time, compared to the first time I went to Eagle Ridge, the scale was undoubtedly larger.

Along the way, we didn't even encounter any monsters.

And since the harvest had already been done before, the daily information did not give any new harvest on the way back this time.

The group successfully returned to Eagle Ridge ten days later.

The arrival of more than 3,000 people instantly made the entire Eagle Territory lively.

Especially for the original 500 people, they suddenly became nervous. Originally there were only 500 people competing, but it suddenly turned into 3,500 people. The number of people increased seven times. How to prevent them from getting nervous.

Thor didn't care about their rivalry either.

After returning to the camp, he quickly summoned Steve.

When Steve shows up.

His expression couldn't help but be happy.

At this moment, Steve's life force fluctuated significantly more violently.

And this undoubtedly means that the other party has taken that crucial step.

"Steve, you broke through?"

Thor spoke with a smile.

"Yes, sir!"

Steve was grateful but also excited.

The Great Knight, he thought it would take him at least a few more years, or even ten years if he was unlucky, but he never thought that after following Thor, in less than a few months, he would It has broken through to the Great Knight.

It almost made him feel like he was in a dream.

"Not bad!"

"It seems that you have not let me down. Let's stabilize it in the past few days. After three days, we will start taking action."

"By the way, remember to send someone to learn more about that Goblin tribe. I need more accurate information."

Thor nodded and spoke with a solemn tone.

"yes!"

Steve nodded quickly.

The figure quickly retreated.

After confirming that Steve had broken through, the last trace of worry in Thor's heart disappeared.

All that's left is preparation.

Time passes quickly.

Three days flew by in the blink of an eye.

In the past three days, Steve had completely consolidated his status as a great knight, and at the same time, he had a relatively clear understanding of the large tribe of timid goblins.

The number of large goblins here is probably between 5,000 and 6,000.

The quantity was not small, but it was a little less than expected. It did not reach such a terrifying value as seven or eight thousand.

At the same time, the surrounding terrain was also touched in various ways.

in the room.

Steve and Ren both gathered in the room.

"Get ready for action!"

"All weapons are ready!"

Thor spoke and looked at Steve.

"Sir, we are ready!"

Steve nodded respectfully.

"OK!"

"Then let's go!"

Thor nodded, feeling a little excited at the moment.

This will be his first battle in developing the territory. If he can successfully capture that iron mine, the development of the entire territory will also enter a high-speed stage, and the significance will be extremely huge.

"yes!"

"yes!"

Steve was equally excited as Ren, and the two figures quickly responded.

As the two approached.

In the entire Xiongying Ridge, more than 3,000 serfs were also gathered together.

In three days, the news about Eagle Ridge had spread, and even the three thousand newly arrived serfs couldn't help but feel excited.

They actually have the opportunity to escape from serfdom. Even if this opportunity is extremely small, they do have it. How can they not dream about it.

During these three days, these serfs worked with unprecedented seriousness.

When the lord summons.

No one dares to be negligent.

Figures gathered together.

Everyone is filled with longing, curiosity, and a sense of nervousness.

Because just over a month ago, during the Lord's convocation, some of them were liberated as free people, and it might be the same this time, so how could they not let them look forward to it.

Even though there is still one month left before the promise was made, everyone still couldn't help but have a fantasy at this moment.

In anticipation and fantasy, their lord, the master of Eagle Ridge, came from a distance.

"grown ups!"

"grown ups!"

"Owner!"

"Owner!"

One voice after another responded, and knights and serfs all saluted respectfully.

Everyone looked at Thor with eyes full of hope and expectation.

As everyone's eyes gathered, Thor's figure also came to the high platform.
