Chapter 109
After summer harvest, after busy harvesting, drying, and storing it into the warehouse, all summer grains have been put into the warehouse.
After a brief trimming, the sowing of autumn grain has begun. The autumn grain is basically planted with soybeans. Soybeans can fix nitrogen and increase soil fertility. Although the yield is not high, it is very useful.
Moreover, soybeans can also be used to press oil. In this era, animal oil was commonly used. Vegetable oil has not been discovered yet. After Su Ming came here, he planted soybean oil, and vegetable oil began to become popular in Milanheim.
At the same time, after soybean oil is pressed, a large amount of bean cakes are left behind. These bean cakes are all good feed and can be used to feed war horses.
During this period, the immigration of Milanheim has not stopped. The endless stream of businessmen has brought a lot of good news to Milanheim. Since May this year, these businessmen have brought more than 3,000 people to Milanheim.
More than 80% of these more than 3,000 people are women. These women even have many natives from the Southern Archipelago. The people in that place have a lot of dark skin. In order to gain more share, those merchants have already started to have the idea of natives from the Southern Archipelago.
In order to adjust the population ratio, Su Ming still accepted these indigenous people. However, in order to prevent those merchants from working on these indigenous people, he specially gave the proportion. The indigenous people in the southern waters are not allowed to exceed 20%, otherwise they will lose preferential treatment.
Because many commodities such as snow salt, glassware, sugar and other goods are selling well, those merchants send their population here every month. The population in Milanheim has increased rapidly.
People who came to Milanheim quickly felt the benefits of this place. People in this era had very low requirements. Even if the lord was entrusted with heavy taxes, it didn't matter if he could make the people in the territory have enough food and not suffer from military disasters, he would be a qualified lord.
But even so, many lords cannot do it. The people do not require much wealth. Can they have a stable environmental order? Unfortunately, even this is not possible now. With the end of summer harvest and the sowing of autumn grains, the war in Cartier is about to break out.
After half a year of accumulation, both sides have accumulated a large amount of supplies and sufficient strength. In order to compete for Cartier City, a war between the two sides will soon break out. When the war comes, the lives of the people will be even harder. A large number of farmers will be recruited. To put it bluntly, these people are cannon fodder.
Those noble men who are arrogant will not regard these poor people as human beings. In their opinion, these poor people are cheap cannon fodder and will not feel sorry for how much they die. Just like leeks, they will grow again soon after they are cut off.
The merchants would not care about the ideas of these poor people, they just wanted to squeeze the last copper coin from these poor people.
But after coming to Milanheim, I found that it is very different here. As long as you work hard, you can have a full meal. As long as you persist in working for one or two years, you will have your own house and arable land. This is completely unimaginable in other places. There is no need to worry about being beaten and killed by those nobles here, and there is no need to worry about being robbed of property. There is no need to worry about being hungry, as long as you work hard, you will gain something.
Just as Milanheim quickly accumulated strength, the battle in Cartier City began.
The war was initiated by the southern countries. In order to regain the city of Cartier, they gathered an army of more than 100,000 people.
The northern countries also gathered tens of thousands of troops, but because of the previous competition for Cartier City, the northern countries had already had many conflicts, which made the northern countries completely unable to trust each other. Although they had a lot of troops, they lacked trust between each other, and their real combat power was worrying.
As a result, the northern countries had the advantage of cavalry, but they were trapped in the city and watched the southern countries siege. The two sides, which were originally evenly matched, now had the advantage of the southern countries.
......
Milanheim.
Heidel had just returned home from get off work from the city hall. As soon as he walked to the door, he saw an acquaintance. His former neighbor in Emerald City. He was originally a poor man from Emerald City. Once a caravan came to Emerald City to recruit people. In order to have a meal, Heidel made up his mind to sign up.
After coming to Milanheim, he realized that this place was simply paradise. After coming here, he quickly stood out because of his flexible mind and quick learning, and became a grassroots manager in Milanheim.
"Hedel, thank you for sending someone to inform us here!" Mien said with gratitude.
"Mine, when did you come?"
“Just arrived yesterday.”
"Are you signing up for the army?" Haider said in surprise. At this time, Meen was wearing a brand new uniform with a yellow sheep next to her.
"Yes, after I came, I saw the Lord's Master recruiting soldiers, and then I signed up. I was lucky and was selected!" Mien said excitedly: "This sheep is the home payment given by the Lord's Master."
Because Milanheim raised a large number of yellow sheep, the price of yellow sheep on the market continued to fall. In order to encourage the poor to breed, Su Ming rewarded the soldiers with some rewards.
"Remember to keep the rewarded yellow sheep, but you will eat it for a while!" Haider reminded.
"Of course I won't eat it. I'm going to grow it and fatten it before selling it!" said Mien.
"Hehe, don't rush to sell!"
"I heard that Lord Lord is preparing a textile factory, and the textile factory is preparing to use wool textile. At that time, you cut the wool and sell it to the textile factory to get a comparison of income."
"And this income is long-term, and every year, as long as the sheep are kept, wool will grow every year. In this way, it is much better than selling it directly!"
"Can wool be sold?" Mien's eyes widened in surprise when he heard Haider's words.
"Of course!" Haider said, patting his chest.
"Then I'll listen to you! Let the wife at home raise you when you go back!"
"By the way, since you have raised it, then raise a few more. The price of yellow sheep on the market is not high. When the wool begins to be officially acquired, it will definitely rise."
"I'll do this when I go back!" Mien nodded.
"Is your home a good one?"
