Undead Scourge who love farming

Land reform began amidst a peaceful atmosphere.

Although the labor capacity of urban residents has deteriorated to some extent due to prolonged neglect, farming is, after all, an ancestral skill, and everyone successfully adapted after a period of time.

Moreover, since the grain grown this year is exempt from taxes, all the farmers are working extremely hard, and their work efficiency far surpasses that of the tenant farmers in other estates who have supervisors to urge them on.

Indeed, self-interest is the best driving force.

A week after the reforms were implemented, most of the wasteland outside the city had been successfully utilized, and some simple villages began to appear in the surrounding area.

It is foreseeable that this year's grain production in the territory will be 20-30% higher than in previous years.

In addition to land reform, Loren also provided a special benefit of rent-free first month to some craftsmen who did not know how to farm, so that they could open shops.

Nowadays, all kinds of shops have appeared on the streets of the city, including carpentry shops, pastry shops, blacksmith shops, etc. Many students and young people choose to stroll around with their friends after a long day to relax.

Of course, the most popular shop in the city is the Munich Beer Hall, founded anonymously by Laurent.

To boost the city's economy, Loren used the undead as labor, combined with highly efficient distillation equipment from Earth, and finally added a little magic, and successfully produced very cheap beer.

A full cup costs only ten copper coins, a price that even the poorest people in the city could afford to drink every few days by saving a little food.

Around the beer hall, Lauren specially invited some former chefs to make some snacks, such as barbecue. These snacks also followed an affordable and down-to-earth approach, creating a synergy with the beer hall next door.

And so, the most famous and popular food street in the city of beginnings was built, and the city's economy began to circulate, no longer like a stagnant pool.

Of course, this wasn't the only reason Laurent built the beer hall.

In the city's largest shop, he set up more than two thousand listening arrays, so that even the sound of a mosquito in the beer hall could not escape his ears.

That's right, his second reason for establishing the beer hall was to gather intelligence.

In a well-informed place like a beer hall, strict supervision is naturally necessary, especially for a large beer hall like the one he built.

After all, history has proven that beer halls are very prone to major incidents. If one of my orders causes public discontent, someone might stand in the beer hall and shout a call to action, and half of the hot-blooded people might follow the other side into the city lord's mansion.

Therefore, in order to consolidate their rule, it is still very necessary to understand the lower classes.

At this moment, inside the city lord's mansion.

Loren remained seated in his study, reviewing various aspects of the territory.

The more he looked at the report in his hand, the higher his eyebrows rose.

It can only be said that he has the amazing wisdom of having experienced modern education; with just a little effort, he can make the whole city develop rapidly.

The report shows that all of the territory's outputs have increased significantly.

The first is the newly established bank.

Since banks have never existed before in history, most people do not choose to deposit their money in banks.

Even so, some people with a lot of spare cash who were worried that they couldn't protect it put their money in the bank.

As of now, the bank deposits have reached nearly two thousand gold coins. Adding the money that Loren had saved before, the city's treasury now has more than three thousand gold coins. Although this is not much for some established cities, it has already provided a certain level of risk resistance.

The second is the mining of ore.

Because Misty Valley had been occupied by demons for a long time, its precious mineral resources had basically never been mined. As soon as the undead who were farming in his territory were free, Loren immediately put them into mining the minerals in Misty Valley.

The production of conventional metal minerals such as iron ore and silver ore has now begun to grow rapidly.

At the same time, the production of building materials such as marble has also begun to increase. It can be said that the current output is sufficient to meet the daily development needs of the territory, while the surplus ore is sold by Loren to foreign exchange through some merchant guilds in Leo City.

Furthermore, in order to continue increasing ore production, Loren also posted a bounty at the school: anyone who could build a machine to increase mining efficiency could take away twenty gold coins.

Finally, there's the issue of public security.

Even though the people in the city temporarily restrained their evil intentions after the rebellion, this was not long-lasting.

So before establishing a government, Loren first set up a police station and threw all the young people in the school who had nowhere to vent their energy into it.

Teenagers at this age are at their most righteous, which can minimize incidents of protectionism.

As it turns out, this decision was quite correct.

Although these people had only undergone temporary training, fortunately, there weren't many people in the town, and there weren't many bad things happening. Even though each of them was capable of causing trouble, under the guidance of Lina and the group she had gathered in recent years, they were still able to handle things perfectly.

After this period of adjustment, these individuals should be able to handle public security cases independently.

He was also able to select outstanding young people from the police station to join the government that was to be established.

After reading the work report, Lauren called his two little ones and went for a stroll outside.

This is what he likes to do most after work, after all, being able to watch his territory develop is a very fulfilling thing.

When Loren reached the outskirts of the city lord's mansion, people who were working or strolling around stopped and paid their respects to the young lord.

They had personally witnessed how this lord had managed to govern the town so well.

To these medieval people, this was nothing short of divine intervention.

In response to the respect shown by his people, Lauren smiled and returned the greeting.

After all, he was portraying himself as a people-friendly lord, so he naturally had to maintain that persona.

"My goodness! The lord actually smiled at us!"

"It seems that this lord is not only very capable, but also a very kind lord."

Hearing the praises of the people around him, Laurent couldn't help but feel much better.

Lina, standing to the side, also proudly raised her head.

For her, praising her perfect owner is the best compliment she can receive.

The only one who seemed out of place was Alice, who was standing to the side with her head down.

At this moment, she began to doubt her previous thoughts.

Master, oops, how can this wizard be so beloved by the people in his own territory? How is that possible?

As the daughter of the city lord, Alice naturally understood the difficulty of such a matter.

In Leo City, most people probably don't even know who the city lord is, but if they are unhappy, they blame the lord.

Therefore, a city lord who is not despised by the people can be considered successful, and she has never seen a city lord as popular as Loren before.

Of course, given Loren's achievements, he deserves this respect. After all, in order to promote his ideas to Alice and get closer to her, Loren often took her along when handling government affairs. He successfully passed many decrees that Alice thought were useless or even counterproductive, which brought about tremendous changes to the entire territory.

So, perhaps the other party really is a kind lord?

Alice's emerald green eyes secretly peeked at the handsome face that shone in the sunlight, and for the first time, she became curious about this evil wizard.
