Audrey was always energetic. After resurrecting all four ancient heroic spirits in the territory, she rode the griffin with Death’s Wings and patrolled the territory surroundings, quickly followed by two squads of powerful undead.
This even prompted a group of territorial explorers to rally and follow them.
Such behavior of explorers was very common in the territory. With the increasing number of explorers joining Golden Pansy Town, these explorers, once their equipnt was rested and ready, would flock together around the formal army of the territory.
Individual explorers might act foolishly, but as a whole, they were incredibly shrewd and rational; every decision was filled with wisdom.
Like their act of following closely beside the territorial army during battles, it was an exceptionally clever choice made by the collective.
Firstly, the territorial army had aerial cavalry support, which could efficiently locate monsters and help all explorers save a lot of ti searching for them.
Secondly, with dozens, even hundreds of elite armored soldiers slaughtering monsters in the area, explorers could roam freely. This was what they valued the most! To explore this world without worries, without life-threatening dangers, is simply the dream scenario for all explorers.
They accompanied the territorial army, slaying evil monsters; in case of danger, they would promptly retreat to the vicinity of territorial soldiers, completely like a moving safe zone.
This scene, from Lin Rui, the Lord of the Golden Pansy Territory, to the various heroes, down to the grassroots soldiers, was taken for granted.
This is exactly what the Classical Empire often encountered; when the imperial formal army dispatched troops, it would often attract rangers, heroes, and even wandering knights and rcenary groups to co along, fight with the army, or follow and plunder.
Moreover, this world was full of all sorts of monsters; an endless rainy season could breed a large number of Beastn. One cloudy, stormy weather scattering green spores everywhere could conjure up a green-skinned tribe in a valley out of thin air.
Relying solely on the regular army of the territory simply couldn’t clear out these elusive monsters hiding everywhere.
Hence, the territory needed a large number of explorers, rcenaries, rangers, demon hunters, and the like.
After assigning Audrey out, Lin Rui was exhausted. He hadn’t slept for several days and nights. If it weren’t for the Divine Throne Banquet boosting his spirit a bit, he would already be too tired to hold on.
Before returning to his room to sleep, Lin Rui found the civil servant Soro and instructed: "I’m giving you two tasks. Arrange them. Our territory now has two resources in abundance — large amounts of wood and grain. Handle them in the trade market, exchanging them for other essential resources. I’ll co to strengthen the recruitnt scroll after I wake up."
Wood and grain were now the territory’s greatest wealth.
The forr existed in massive quantities, asured in billions. Before today, no one in the territory had envisioned gaining so much wood, as none of the planning involved such an extensive figure, so the best option was to sell the wood and supplent other resources.
The sa went for grain. Because Lin Rui used a large quantity of territorial essence, he obtained the [Historically Significant] trait three tis, thus advancing the harvest of grain in the second cycle.
It was now precisely the expansion period for other territories, and the joining of a large number of residents made the already scarce grain supply even more pressed.
Nurous explorer lords were now crying their hearts out, complaining bitterly as grain prices soared to an alarming degree. According to the empire’s normal ratio, one Realm Coin could buy one unit of grain.
But now, even ten Realm Coins might not buy one unit of grain. After opening over a hundred [Resource Packs (Giant)], Golden Pansy Territory now had over two million units of grain. If sold smoothly, it could push other resources up to the tens of millions level.
Soro was startled after hearing Lin Rui’s arrangent and said, "Lord, are we selling all the grain? Our territory now only has around nine hundred acres total with the newly opened wheat fields, pumpkin fields, and the three hundred acres from the Golden Pansy Manor, producing only 1.05 million units of grain monthly, and about 1.2 million including the output from the Little Fishman Camp and other camps. Are we selling all of it?"
Each acre of farmland yields 600 units, and the territory has three bonuses to increase production output.
One is from the Golden Pansy Manor, raising farmland refined cultivation output by 20%.
Another is from the Celestial Country, boosting 25% of the fertile yield.
The last is a miracle building, Jilun Tower, providing 50% of the farmland’s output.
Therefore, Golden Pansy Territory’s farmland has a fertility yield of 195%, totaling 1170 units.
Among the 1.2 million units of grain, approximately 12% is Essence Spirit Grain, entirely for the soldiers’ consumption, given these muscle bullies are big eaters.
The remaining approximately one million units are, in theory, a very substantial number, absolutely sufficient for ordinary explorer territories.
But it’s entirely different for Golden Pansy Territory, mainly because its developnt is too rapid.
When the territory was just upgraded to a town, the population was precisely at 1,625 people.
But after the Green Tide War, the territory’s military force had a big surge, suddenly rising to over two thousand people, and with refugees and explorers recruited from inland, the territory’s population now swiftly expanded to a scale of 2,500 people.
