Chapter 80 Farm Promotion

The backbone members of the Red Army left the town hall one after another, and Gandalf also went out. He wanted to send Aragorn back to Deadbeard Canyon.

After a while, Garin plans to set up a portal in the town hall of each branch, so that when the stall is set up in the future, it will be convenient for the generals to gather quickly.

Quick travel can also be achieved using a return scroll, but it is more difficult to implement. After all, it is not like just right-clicking in the game to select the town hall you want to go to, and the coordinate axis needs to be set in advance.

Moreover, each gathering uses more than one return scroll, which is too costly. Although Garin is not short of money now, thrift is a traditional virtue of our great China, and he must pass it on.

Setting up a portal requires some materials, but the cost is acceptable. I currently have sixty wizards of intermediate strength. When the time comes, I will arrange a wizard at each location to maintain the stability of the portal, and the job will be done.

It’s cost price, why not?

Only Garin and Amor were left in the hall. Garin said, "Amor, I plan to let you and Aragorn guard the rear and guard against the possible troll troops in the northern mountains that Aragorn mentioned. Regardless of whether Aragorn's guess is right or not, it's better to be careful!"

Seeing Amor nodded, Garin continued, "This time, Gandalf and I will command the Deadwood Village. I plan to train Omar and the others and let them play freely."

"Your Highness, we need at least 2,000 troops to guard the rear, and the remaining 6,000 people will not have an advantage in terms of manpower to attack the Deadwood Village. Do you want to notify Count Danas of the Geshak Farm to join forces?"

When Danath came of age, he inherited his father's earldom, and the nobles of Stormwind called him Earl Danath. And Amor was granted the title of Viscount by Galen's father for his military exploits.

"No need, Amor. I have recruited new soldiers in the new city of Minas Tirith. Together with the Red Flame Army, I have two legions of soldiers at my disposal, which is more than enough to deal with Deadwood Village!"

Now it was Amor's turn to be shocked. The strength of the two legions, plus logistics and support personnel, was close to 20,000.

It has only been half a year, has the prince developed his power to such a huge extent? It is no secret that the king allowed the prince to expand the army. Not only Amor knows it, but the entire military and even the king's advisory group know it.

Since Solas handed over the task of developing the northwest to the prince, he received an order from Solas, allowing all the prince's requests for military expansion, but stopping the payment of military pay.

Although the king allowed the prince to recruit soldiers on his own, and Amor knew that the prince had obtained a large amount of spoils by defeating the Drybeard Gnolls, it was still surprising that the prince recruited another legion of soldiers so quickly.

Matters involving the prince's secrets were very sensitive to Amor. He came to the prince on the king's order to protect his safety. However, the prince was not short of high-end combat power, including a ninth-level wizard and the newly joined eighth-level priest, neither of whom was weaker than him, so his position became awkward.

Amor was loyal to the King, and he had investigated the origins of Gandalf and Aragorn. He had a vague idea that the prince had a big secret. Especially when he was stationed at Helm's Deep, he discovered the crops that matured quickly in the small farms during his inspection. It was simply a miracle.

This fast-maturing grain will be of great help to the kingdom. Amor has not yet reported to Solas. He is conflicted because the prince trusts him very much. The farm does not set up defenses against him, and this time he is stationed in Helm's Deep. This is a huge trust.

At this time, Jialin finally noticed Amor's hesitant expression: "Amor, do you have any questions? Are you worried that the new recruits can't complete this mission?"

After hesitating for a moment, he decided to speak:

"Your Highness, the Deadwood Village lost a large number of young and strong men before, and they don't have many warriors left. The Red Flame Army plus the assistance of a new legion is enough to take down the Deadwood Village."

"Your Highness, I found that the crops at Helm's Deep Farm mature very quickly. Basically, we can harvest wheat three times a month. I wonder if this can be promoted nationwide?"

"So that's what it is. You seem hesitant, not like the decisive commander you used to be. The land of the farm has been improved by my mentor. We need to set up a magic circle to maintain constant fertility inside, as well as a time acceleration magic circle for the roots of crops to promote rapid growth of crops. So farmers only need to water, repel insects, and weed every day, and replant after the crops are ripe. There is no need to leave the land fallow."

Serious nonsense.

Garin's explanation was very detailed and easy to understand. Even Amor, who had basically no knowledge of arcane, could barely understand it. This was a creation researched by Master Gandalf. It was truly magical.

"In addition to wheat, you can also grow vegetables and medicinal herbs. Farmers only need to work hard every day to get rich rewards."

It's more than just lucrative, it's a path for everyone to get rich.

Amor was so excited.

"Your Highness, can I tell this news to His Majesty the King?" What he cared about most was whether the prince was willing to make this secret public. If it could be promoted, the kingdom's national strength would be greatly enhanced. As a loyal member of the royal party, it was his lifelong wish to strengthen the royal family and the kingdom.

"You can tell my father the news. I am also going to report to my father in the near future."

Amor was overjoyed.

“It’s a bit troublesome to promote it.”

Amor's expression froze.

“But it’s not impossible.”

Amor breathed a sigh of relief.

“The materials are relatively precious and the cost cannot be reduced.”

Amor held his breath.

“One year’s harvest will pay for itself.”

Amor had a blank expression.

He had already discovered that the prince was appreciating his expression and deliberately slowed down his speech and interrupted it.

But he was relieved. The prince told him about this in such a teasing tone, which showed that he didn't mind him asking about the secrets of the farm.

Garen didn't care. Since the farm was built in the town, it was inevitable that the crops would be discovered and mature quickly. It was better to announce it openly. After all, in Azeroth, it was not impossible for plants to grow quickly. The druids in Kalimdor in the western continent could do it.

It would be best if my father was interested in promoting the farm.

The cost of building a farm is 80 units of gold and 20 units of wood, which is a bargain. When the time comes, the price will be gold coins per farm, which is a -fold increase. This is not just cabbage from the field, but jade cabbage.

The kingdom paid to build one farm, and I can get nineteen for free. I am really an expert at making money!

Hey hey hey.

What a beast, he even cheated his own father's money.

How about a 20% discount on dad’s farm orders?

…………

I continued to discuss the follow-up plans with Amor. It is always a good idea to have several emergency plans on the battlefield. This is Amor's experience over many years.

The next day, Garin checked the status of the immigrants on each farm in the city.

When they learned that wheat could be harvested in ten days on each farm, the immigrants were excited. They were not afraid of the hard work, but they were afraid that choosing to come to the northwest would not give them a better life than in the royal capital.

Now I feel relieved. As long as I work diligently, I can become rich just by farming. The harvest here is more than ten times more than that from normal land.

Seeing that the people in Helm's Deep were at peace, Garen posted the Helm's Deep, which was also the first administrative proclamation in his life.

Adult women among the immigrants were recruited to stay on the farm and grow crops, while adult men were arranged to build houses in the south of the city, which would be distributed uniformly after completion.

The salary is generous and every meal is provided.

The above was Garin’s original plan, to allow the immigrants from Stromgarde to move into the farm to work, freeing up the original farmers at the base to take on more important jobs, such as resource collection in mines and logging camps, and training in aircraft and mortars.

There are only a thousand farms in the northern part of Helm's Deep now, and most of the vacant land is waiting for Garen to deploy. Once all the immigrants in Helm's Deep are in place, the grain output here will exceed that of the three major farms in Arathi Highlands, truly completing Garen's goal of building high walls and storing abundant grain.

The next step is to continue occupying the land and opening the extension.
