Chapter 978: Devil's Castle_1

After occupying a mill and gaining over five hundred units of food, the mill could provide 20 units of food every day. According to the consumption rate of 100 workers or 10 soldiers per unit of food daily, Song Jian could hire at least two thousand more workers or two hundred more soldiers.

However, hiring required spending gold coins, and relying solely on the daily production of gold from the City Lord Mansion was definitely not enough. Engaging in battles was the quickest way to obtain gold.

Looking down at the empty farmlands, Song Jian's brows furled slightly. If some farmers could be sent here to cultivate the land, he believed the food production could be further increased.

"If I had continued to pursue them earlier, is it possible that I could have captured some farmers?" Song Jian thought to himself.

After defeating the group of farmers armed with wooden forks, Song Jian had ignored them. Now, thinking about it, he felt he should have captured all the remaining farmers.
