Chapter 224 Leon put forward new requirements for the development of the south bank of the Meyerson River
. The farmland was full of green.
As the administrator of Port Idar personally appointed by Leon, Bello has always faithfully implemented Leon's governance philosophy.
Build roads and bridges, open up wasteland for farming.
Appease the refugees and build houses.
Although only more than two months have passed, the south bank of the Meyerson River, a land that once experienced the massacre of remnants of the rejuvenated nation, has gradually recovered from the previous war.
And in the open space in the center of Idar Port, the traces of the blood sacrifices performed by the relics of the restoration of the country with the lives of the people in the territory have been gradually erased.
Only a brand-new Liberation Monument in Port Idar stands in the center of the town. Together with the preserved ruins around it, they bear in mind the pain that happened a few months ago.
"Now, we are building a road connecting Port Idar, Navarre City and the Southwest Highlands."
At this moment, Bello is standing in front of Leon, reporting to his young lord what happened here these days. everything on the land.
"Due to the impact of the previous war, even though farming has been fully restored, the grain output in the south bank of the Meyerson River this year is probably only two-thirds of previous years." "However, the fishery in Port Idar has recovered fairly smoothly
. , The relics of the restoration of the country did not destroy the fishing boats anchored along
the coast, especially among the refugees brought back by the Marquis from Tide Town, not only many of them had experience in fishing, but there were even dozens of shipbuilders!" Luo's tone was slightly excited.
Focus on developing offshore fisheries, adapt measures to local conditions, and create an industrial chain with local characteristics.
These are the original words written down by Bello in a small notebook. They are important instructions given by the Marquis on the future planning of Port Idar!
You know, following the first group study held in Leon.
Bello held two more group studies in Port Idar.
The purpose is to enable the new officials in this land who have just joined the Jimena family to more clearly understand the governance wisdom and foresight of the Marquis, and to achieve Myerson's goals through constant supervision and assessment. The self-purification and self-improvement of officials on the south bank of the river.
"Well done!"
He highly praised Bello's work report, which made the young man in his thirties burst into tears.
"Is there any possibility of access to the Abandoned Land on the south bank of the Meyerson River?" Leon added.
"We are exploring now."
Bello replied truthfully: "The mountains here are far less steep than the southwest highlands, but the dense forests between the mountains seriously hinder the Antolian soldiers' exploration process, but... even if there is, I'm afraid it will take a lot of manpower and material resources to get through, otherwise, this land will not have been invaded by plateau hounds over the years." Hearing this, Leon couldn't help but nodded
.
What Bello said is not unreasonable.
But no matter how difficult it is, some things need to be done.
As for the manpower Bello mentioned...
"Among the people migrating this time, except for the slave prisoners of war from the Kingdom of Walras, half of the refugees can be left on the south bank of the Meyerson River."
Although the main purpose of this migration is , is to fill the problem of insufficient population in the abandoned land.
But with so many people visiting at once, the abandoned place would definitely not be able to bear it.
There is no way, the reclamation of farmland takes time. Even with the help of land compactors, Fort Wilson cannot be able to support such a large population in a short period of time.
It would be better to divert part of the area on the south bank of the Meyerson River first, so that this land can become one of the most important granaries of the Jimena family as soon as possible.
You know, even during the rule of the Duke of Norton, this land has always been known as the granary of the south.
Now, the land is firmly in the hands of the Jimena family. If it is managed properly, it will definitely not be a problem to double the food production over time!
Food, money, and population!
This is undoubtedly a necessary condition for opening up new territories.
Only by making this land a stable food supply base for the Antolian people can we avoid the worries of food shortages.
To be honest, although the food production of the Antolian people continues to increase under Leon's conscientious management.
But the population can't help but keep growing.
Especially in times of war.
Even though the influx of large numbers of refugees made up for the labor shortage, it also caused the Antolian people to face food shortages again and again.
This seems to be a cycle, making Leon miserable and happy.
"The bridge over the Meyerson River must be built as soon as possible."
Leon warned extremely seriously before returning to the Thorn Territory.
In exchange for Brownie Bent's ransom, in addition to a large number of cattle and sheep, the two trade licenses from the Kingdom of Walras also had extraordinary value.
Especially as a traveler, Leon will naturally not ignore the economic benefits that Port Idar's special geographical location can bring.
Only with a trade license can the Antolian caravans be qualified to enter the Kingdom of Walras for trade.
You know, compared to equal exchange, the Walrasians prefer to rely on their own strength to compete.
So if you want to get that business license, there are only two possibilities.
Either it is a tactical recognition, or it is leaving an indelible mark in the hearts of the Walras people.
And obviously, the Antolians are definitely not the former.
For Leon, the capture of Brownie Bent might just be the capture of a well-known Walrasian noble.
But for the Walras people, it was enough to cause an uproar and cause a violent sensation.
Therefore, those two trade permits are not only proof that the Antolian caravan can enter the Kingdom of Walras, but also a certification of the military strength of Antolia! It was even a certification from the enemy!
Compared with the time it takes to start from the Thorn Territory and then travel all the way through the Kingdom of Andal.
It is undoubtedly a better choice to go north directly from Port Idar or Navarre.
Therefore, the construction of a bridge across the Meyerson River naturally needs to be put on the agenda.
Even though there is a bridge over this river.
However, the existing bridge is too simple. If you run business all day long, it may collapse one day.
You know, although the Walras people are barbaric and rough, this does not mean that there are no good things in the Walras Kingdom.
Whether they are cattle, sheep or slaves, these are all extremely important commodities to the Jimena family!
What's more, today's Idar Port can be said to be located on the border of the Kingdom of Iderit and the Kingdom of Andal. As long as it develops properly, there will definitely be an endless flow of business transactions in the future...
No more today. Today is mainly about transition. My thoughts are a bit messy and need to be sorted out.
