Chapter 283

Any large family will have corresponding troubles.

As for the Ailan family, it has been rooted in the Karo kingdom for hundreds of years, during which a large number of people have been born, reaching a huge number.

Such a large number of people is certainly a good thing, but it is also a burden.

The strength of the Ailan family is not enough to support many people.

After all, no matter what, there is only one title in the Ailan family. It is impossible to separate them, let alone divide their territory.

After all, it will be fine in a short period of time once one's territory is gradually divided. However, as time goes on, the territory that the whole Elan family can control will inevitably become smaller and smaller. In the end, it may even become a mass of loose sand.

At that time, I'm afraid the whole Elan family will no longer exist.

Therefore, in order to avoid the development of this situation, it is impossible to divide the territory of the Ailan family. For those who do not inherit the title, at most, they should give some economic support.

However, this kind of support can not be too much.

It is precisely because of this that nowadays, most of the distant relatives, except for the minority of the Elan family represented by siriv, are not very well off.

In order to resettle these people, siliv also thought of some ways in the past, such as arranging these people in his own territory to serve him.

But obviously, that's not enough.

Although his territory is not small, it is nothing compared with the large number of people in the Ailan family.

And now Chen Heng's appearance, has brought the new opportunity obviously.

When the other party goes to his own territory, whether it's to maintain the operation of the territory or others, people, especially trustworthy people, are needed to help.

And these people of the Ailan family can be of use.

In a way, it's a win-win.

Chen Heng got enough people, and those got a good chance.

It can be expected that with the constant development of Chen Heng, he will surely have very good achievements in the future, and even the royal family will actively attract him.

Not to mention the future, just in front of his eyes, he is already extremely strong.

It's not a problem for a second ring Warlock to support a territory. Even if there is a big problem of ORC invasion, it's enough to harvest his territory.

In siliv's view, Chen Heng's future is destined to be bright.

Therefore, appropriate investment is also very necessary.

That's how it is right now.

Zhan Li is his own child. Although he is not his eldest son, he attaches great importance to it. He is one of his favorite children.

Unfortunately, no matter how much I like it, there is only one title.

Moreover, compared with his eldest son, Jamie's performance is also very common, and does not show his talent for life.

Therefore, siliver will arrange him under Chen Heng.

This is not only an investment, but also a kind of care.

In siliv's view, following Chen Heng in front of him is a matter of low risk and high return.

If his children behave well in the future, they may be able to earn a title by themselves.

Therefore, after hearing Chen Heng's reply, siliver also showed a smile on his face, which made him relaxed a lot.

In the room, they continued to chat for a while, then they got up and left the place in silence.

Out of the room, Chen Heng has nothing else to do, directly back to his room.

And now, outside his room, a figure was standing there.

He was a tall young man with a plain face and a long robe. He was standing outside his room and seemed to have been waiting there for a long time.

Chen Heng is no stranger to this man.

"Zhan Li..."

standing in the same place, looking at the young man standing in front of him, Chen Heng's face looked a little surprised. He couldn't help laughing: "what are you doing here?"

"Lord exedor."

Listening to Chen Heng's voice, Zhan Li immediately turned around, his face looked very respectful, but also with some faint excitement: "according to my father's instructions, I come here to wait for your instructions."

"So...

standing in the same place and listening to each other's words, Chen Heng didn't say much about it, but nodded:" come with me. "

As the voice dropped, he turned around, left, and went out.

Behind him, Zhan Li hurried forward and followed Chen Heng forward.

Before long, they came to a spacious training ground.

It's still day and the outside is sunny.In the light of the sun, hedosiri is holding a long sword on the training ground, seriously training other soldiers.

At this moment, after a few months, the number of soldiers under Chen Heng has increased again.

Today, he has more than 400 people on hand, including two of them.

Count the number, even more than the army siliv had on hand.

The sources of these soldiers are very complex, including the people who were rescued during the previous raids and the captured prisoners.

However, after a simple honing, these people look decent at the moment.

Standing in front of Chen Heng, Zhan Li looked at the soldiers training in front of him. He seemed a little confused.

"My lord..."

he tried to find out what Chen Heng wanted.

"In the next few days, you'll join this group and train here with others."

In front of him, Chen Heng opened his mouth again, looked at Zhan Li in front of him and said, "how can I do it?"

Training here with ordinary soldiers?

Listen to this request, Zhan Li subconsciously Leng Leng, then quickly react, repeatedly nodded: "yes, I can."

"Good."

Listening to his words, Chen Heng nodded with satisfaction. After a little thought, he continued to say: "in a few days, I will leave this place and go to khaki."

"After that, I'll go to my own territory. I'm afraid I'll need a lot of hands."

He looked at Zhan Li in front of him and said with a smile, "Zhan Li, I don't know if you are willing to do me a favor."

"In order to deal with the possible troubles in the territory after that, I hope to recruit a group of people to help me complete the tasks after that."

"Well, about ten people will do."

The voice fell, Zhan Li in front of him was stunned. Then he seemed to realize something quickly, and a happy look appeared on his face: "my Lord, it's very easy."

In these few months, because of Chen Heng's action, many people in this castle have known his power.

Many people think that following such a powerful Knight will be a great honor, and is destined to get good harvest.

Therefore, if Chen Heng is willing to open his mouth and say that he needs followers, I'm afraid many people will be willing to.

This is also a reminder to Chen Heng from Sili Fu's previous words.

Nowadays, with his strength and identity, it's not too much trouble to recruit a group of people.

It's like the two of them before.

Chen Heng didn't make much effort to recruit them. He just showed part of his strength and the identity of the possible heirs of the divine blood. He asked them to take the initiative, kowtow and worship, and even bring their own dry food. Instead of consuming Chen Heng's property, he took the initiative to hand over his property to Chen Heng.

The same is true of the soldiers.

As prisoners, they not only resisted Chen Heng's recruitment at all, but immediately accepted it and felt quite happy.

Why?

It is because they believe that following a strong man like him will bring them rich returns in the future.

In this world, all kinds of legendary stories have been handed down all the time. Among them, some Knights led their followers to explore other regions and finally established a huge empire.

In fact, many countries in the world have been established in this way.

The widespread spread of such deeds in the world has brought them some clear expectations that they can get rich returns in the future by following Chen Heng, a strong man.

It is precisely because of this that silivu works so hard for him, and even takes the initiative to put his children under Chen Heng's hands.

After realizing these facts, Chen Heng's idea began to change.

As far as the present situation is concerned, he is really short of manpower and in urgent need of assistance.

It's OK at the moment, but I'm afraid people will be needed everywhere when I go to explore new territory later.

It's better to be ready now than to work hard to recruit people at that time.

Standing in the same place, all kinds of thoughts flashed through Chen Heng's heart. At this time, he thought so.

In front of him, Zhan Li received his order and left with confidence. It seems that he is ready to look for other targets.

Looking at his appearance, Chen Heng shook his head secretly, and then left in silence.

Zhan Li's speed is much faster than Chen Heng imagined.

Before long, in just two or three days, he gathered ten people.

As Chen Heng expected, most of these ten people are the group with nothing, and they are generally the second sons of rich families.As second sons, they are doomed to be unable to inherit the title and property of the family, so if they want to get a better life, they have to rely on themselves to find opportunities.

In their view, Chen Heng is such an opportunity.

So, they came here, and they couldn't wait.

For this group of people, Chen Heng just made a little investigation and agreed.

Jarry has a good eye.

Although most of them are second sons, they are born in wealthy families. Their basic qualities are still qualified. Not to mention their strong abilities, they can at least master their writing skills.

For Chen Heng, that's enough.

It's not that his requirements are too low, it's just that the conditions are limited and there's no way.

Like any feudal society in the traditional sense, in this world, the literacy rate of ordinary people is still very low, which is the same in the former kingdom of makdo and the kingdom of Karo.

Even to a certain extent, the Karo Kingdom suffered from the invasion of the wilderness race due to the perennial wars and chaos, which is even more serious in this respect.

In this environment, it's good to be able to read, write skillfully and master the corresponding format.

At least being a bottom administrator should be no problem.

This thought flashed through Chen Heng's mind. At this time, he thought so.

With the passage of time, soon, it will be half a month later.

At this time, Chen Heng left the matter at hand to Lamu, and then he took hedosiri with him on his way to khaki.

They slowly toward their goal, along the road, also observing the scenery around.

"The abandonment of land is very serious..."

along the road, looking at the scenes everywhere, Chen Heng flashed this idea in his mind.

Compared with makdo Kingdom, Karo kingdom is sparsely populated, and its development is obviously insufficient.

Along the road, many of the land is not cultivated, but let it go, covered with weeds.

This is obviously a great waste.

Looking at this scene, Chen Heng has realized some problems.

Population, and food.

The small population in Karo Kingdom means that it will be much more difficult for him to build his own territory.

There is not enough population to support it. Even if we have the corresponding land, we can not fully cultivate it.

To some extent, population itself is a great wealth.

Lack of population, there is no way to really reclaim the territory.

Compared with the population, the food problem is even more serious.

For quite a foreseeable period of time, they may not be able to produce their own food.

In this case, if they want to get food, they can only get it from the outside.

However, because of the serious land abandonment in Karo Kingdom and the war, the production activities would be destroyed accordingly.

In this case, where will the price of grain go?

At the moment, Chen Heng thought of this problem and could not help frowning.

It is very difficult to solve this problem simply by purchasing grain.

Not to mention that they do not have much money to buy food. Even if they have enough money, it is not a simple thing to buy a lot of food from the market under the current situation.

At the moment, there is a lack of food everywhere. I'm afraid many people will store food and are not willing to sell it at all.

The surplus of food in Karo kingdom is limited.

I'm afraid it's not easy to get food from this world.

Therefore, this plan is mostly unrealistic.

Walking on the road, Chen Heng thought in his heart, then a thought flashed slowly in his heart.

Nobility.

If in today's situation, where can we find enough food, then only the nobles.

Especially the nobles who own the territory.

Like the aborigines of Chen Heng's previous life, the Lords of the world also had the habit of storing food.

This is not only because it is necessary, but also because a large part of the taxes they usually get is grain.

They collect taxes from the people, and what they finally harvest is all kinds of agricultural products.

And these things have a very unique characteristic.

In a good harvest year, a large amount of grain appears, which is not easy to sell. Even if it is sold, the price is often very low.

But when it comes to disaster, the prices of these things rise, but those who have enough food on hand are not willing to sell.

Especially in the present situation.There must be a lot of food in the hands of those Lords.

It's like Cyrus.

During these months, Chen Heng's soldiers were supported by siliv's territory.

But even so, it doesn't seem to be too much pressure on siliver.

From this point of view, we can see something.

It might be easier to target this group directly.

The only problem is how Chen Heng can get food out of this population.

It's not easy to expect these people to bleed.

Thinking of this, Chen Heng could not help shaking his head secretly.

In the following time, while investigating, they slowly moved forward and went to khaki.

Finally, a few days later, they arrived in the city.

Outside the huge city, the city is surrounded by thick walls.

With hedosiri, Chen Heng walks in this street.

Compared with other cities in the outside world, this city does not seem to have any big problems. On the street, pedestrians are walking on the road. Although many people are in a hurry and look dignified, at least there is no tragedy in other places.

At this moment, with the beginning of the disaster, many people everywhere have been unable to live and become slaves everywhere.

However, this kind of situation is rare in this city.

In this way, although the disaster has come, and caused a very far-reaching impact, but for the time being, it has not caused great pressure to the city.

In this regard, Chen Heng looked at it like this. After a long time, he turned around and went back to his residence.

He lived in a very spacious manor, which was arranged for him by the royal family of Carlo.

The manor is very spacious. Although it looks a little shabby, it's no problem to accommodate Chen Heng at least.

Chen Heng walked in this area and observed everywhere.

From his point of view, the city of khaki is actually very common, not to mention many cities he has seen before, even compared with some cities in the kingdom of macdow, it is much worse.

But relatively speaking, perhaps because of standing in the wasteland and bordering on other ethnic groups, the city's defense is good. Not only the city walls are very tall, but also the defense facilities are perfect.

Outside the city, there are several other small fortresses surrounding the city.
