It took Hudson a few months to successfully arrive at the fiefdom after more than 100 miles.

The team grew from more than 600 people at the time of departure to the last 3,000 people, and the increase of more than 2,400 people was the gain of this trip.

Unfortunately, there are fewer young people. Even if there are 145-year-old boys and middle-aged men under forty, there are only 800.

The remaining ones are mostly the elderly, weak women and children with good health. Those with weak constitutions are either eliminated in the previous famine or fallen on the way.

Of course, the definition of "old" is the standard of the Aslant continent. Even if you are middle-aged after you are thirty, and if you are in your forties, you are considered an old man.

If you really want to live to be 180 years old, you can only be in a noble family. Serfs with poor living conditions can survive beyond 60 years old, which are comparable to the scales of a giant dragon.

In the face of disasters, human beings are fragile. Even if Hudson deliberately slowed down, many people still failed to keep up.

It would be good to be able to save so many people. If Hudson did not intervene and waited for the new lord to arrive, I am afraid that less than half of these people would survive in the end.

Settling down is very simple. As long as you divide a piece of land, the serfs will build their own houses. Everyone is very conscious that such a small matter does not require Mr. Hudson to worry about it.

After a brief investigation, Hudson planned five settlements nearby with the mine as the center. Basically, they were all the original sites, and if they were given a sum of refugees, they would be completed.

At the cost, the food and grass are reduced by 40 trucks, which is the result of deliberate restrictions. If you eat with your stomach open, you may be more consumed.

There is no need to say that people have to continue to send people back to Dadier City to transport grain. Otherwise, the little food in his hand will last at most twenty days.

If you have more than three thousand mouths, no matter how much you save, you will have to consume at least two or three thousand pounds of food every day.

There is no need to rush the road and there is no too much labor. It is enough for ordinary serfs to have five or six points full. If there is not enough food, wild vegetables, leaves, and grass roots will come to make up, but the soldiers cannot be hungry.

Hudson, the veterans who had finally accumulated, did not want to ruin them again because of malnutrition.

What's more, as a hero, you have to give certain preferential treatment? Military pay is not paid. If you don't even care about your full meal, who will work hard for Master Hudson in the future?

Even though he had harvested a lot of food in the war before, Hudson still felt pressured to supply so much.

After a little calculation, he found that the food in his hands would last for at most two or three months according to the current method of eating.

What's more, most of the food was stored in Dadir City. He hired a family knight to help watch it. It was also a troublesome to transport it over.

Due to the number of carriages, at least two trips have to be run. Although the war has ended, there are many mountain kings who have fallen into the grass. For safety reasons, it is still indispensable to send troops to escort.

"If you pass the order, the ration distribution system in the territory will be implemented in strict accordance with the standards every day. You are responsible for the daily distribution of grain, and I will conduct random inspections from time to time.

Specific standards.

Soldiers: Wild vegetables and rye bread 1.5 pounds/day, oatmeal and beans and grains 1 pound/day, salt 0.5 pounds/month, meat 2 pounds/month, wild vegetables or dried vegetable soup. (Note: 1 pound is about 1 pound, and the grain will swell after being cooked, which is not equal to the raw grain)

According to the level, on the basis of soldiers, each level will increase by 15% and no wild vegetables can be added to the bread.

Young and strong over the age of sixteen: inferior rye bread 0.8 pounds/day, oatmeal, beans and grains half a pound/day, salt 0.3 pounds/month, meat 0.5 pounds/month, and vegetable soup.

Healthy women, young men over ten years old, and middle-aged men will be paid according to the ration standard of young and strong; the remaining elderly, weak, women and children will be paid according to the ration standard of young and strong.

The army's food was distributed to the 100-man team to make it, and the serfs were distributed to the families. Thirty soldiers were stationed at each gathering point to maintain order, and they were demoted to slaves if they violated the order."

Hudson said seriously.

The standards can no longer be low. In an era when there is no oil in the stomach, everyone is a big eater. They eat more and get hungry quickly.

Hudson had studied it in depth before setting the standards. The same rye bread is divided into different levels.

The best one is naturally whole wheat bread; the second is rye bread with wild vegetables, usually with wild vegetables ranging from one to three percent, and the taste is barely enough.

Next is rye bread with wild vegetables and leaves. Generally, it can be added between 30% and 50%. The black-hearted ones can even add wood chips, bark, and sand.

Commonly known as inferior bread, the principle is that only one cannot kill anyone. It can be used as a weapon in your hand, and it can hurt your feet when it falls on the ground.

Hudson is naturally not that black-hearted. He will definitely not add wood chips, bark, sand, etc., but wild vegetables and leaves cannot be missing.

They are all forced out by shortage of food. Only by implementing such low standards can the food in hand last for three months.

In fact, this is just a theoretical state. Low standards can be implemented now because serfs are not engaged in high-intensity labor and their energy consumption is not large.

Once production begins to resume, food consumption will increase sharply. Miners must be full, otherwise they will not be able to work. Women and children who are arable land cannot be hungry either.

"Yes, Master!"

Jill replied calmly.

No one objected, he was a close confidant who followed Master Hudson, and he was right to obey the command. Anyway, as long as you are not hungry, no matter what standard it is, it doesn’t matter.

Although Baron Redman promised to send their home books over, that was the next year.

If you don’t settle the territory and build up the infrastructure, and send people in advance, that’s causing trouble.

After pausing, Hudson suddenly remembered his livestock. Although he rewarded the heroes in Dadir City, held a banquet and slaughtered a lot, he still left many.

Because the war horses are relatively expensive, except for leaving eight horses for their own use, Hudson used the rest for trading.

Including the knights of the family who helped take care of food and supplies in Dadir City, Hudson hired them at a high price for a war horse.

On the way to the territory, three sheep were unfortunately injured, and Hudson could only relieve them.

Now, there are twenty-eight cows, one hundred and sixty-seven sheep, and one hundred and eighty-seven horses left.

A slow horse can escape the disaster, in addition to being able to pull a cart, the most important thing is that the meat is not delicious, so he escapes by chance.

We cannot continue to slaughter, most of the remaining cattle and sheep are female, and we still have to keep the baby.

In fact, it is actually the result of the young bears being able to leave so many cattle and sheep. Under the concept that less meat can be eaten but no milk can be cut off, the young bears successfully rescued their milk source from Hudson's butcher knife.

Voluntarily lowering the food standards is not Hudson's untrustworthy.

Since then, the food standard for bears has been reduced from one sheep and thirty pounds of beef every day to the same amount as meat and Hudson, and has lived a hard life that relies entirely on grains to fill their stomachs.

Fortunately, the Earth Bear is an omnivorous monster. Not to mention grains and grains, even if you eat bamboo, you will be able to live well. If you raise a dragon with a bigger appetite, you will probably be able to destroy Hudson by eating it alone.

"Tom, you are responsible for organizing young and strong people to build animal sheds. The movement must be fast and must be completed before the rainy season comes.

Let the serfs who have experience in raising livestock sign up by themselves, take good care of the livestock, and increase the rations to 80% of the soldiers."

It’s not a joke that animals are more expensive than people. Needless to say, war horses are, the price of that thing has never been higher.

As a banquet, the price of cattle is second only to the monster meat. Depending on the variety and weight, it basically ranges from three to seven gold coins.

This is because the Alpha Kingdom did not popularize ox plowing, and prefer to use horses to plow the land, otherwise the ox price would go further.

A strong adult man is only five to six gold coins in the slave market, which is less than a high-quality cow.

The price of children is only about one-third of that of adult men. The elderly and weak are even less valuable, and basically no one cares about them.

The price of women is magical, mainly depends on their appearance and talent. You can buy two or three gold coins in cheaper ones, and even sell thousands of gold coins at auctions.

Of course, there are exceptions to the blessing of special identities. For example, elf women basically start with four digits, five digits are the norm, and it is not impossible to be higher.

Special races among orcs can often be sold at high prices, but they are not as exaggerated as elves.

The main reason is that things are rare and elves are not easy to mess with. They live in the elves forest. The slaves will pay for their lives before they get caught.

In contrast, orcs are more likely to capture. Earl Pierce has a dancer composed of orc fox girls, cat girls...

The damage is mutual, and orcs often harass the northern border. Human slave hunting teams often go deep into the orc country, capturing some high-priced special races as slaves.

As a big mine owner, he is destined to deal with slaves. Especially when the labor force is insufficient, slaves are the main force in mining.

It’s obvious that Hudson didn’t disband the army, that he had made up his mind to be an unscrupulous mine owner.

"Master, just hand the animals over to them to manage. If an accident occurs, it will be a huge loss.

Otherwise, we will let the soldiers responsible for taking care of the animals first and stare at them. If they take good care of them, they will leave them completely."

Tom suggested slightly nervously.

In the Aslant continent, the identity gap between nobles and serfs is almost an unbridgeable gap.

According to convention, the nobles have always ordered the orders and the serfs are responsible for the execution, and it is never the turn of the serfs to oppose it.

If Hudson hadn't always encouraged them to express their opinions, even if they were wrong, they would not have been punished. Tom would not have dared to speak up.

"Um!"

"It's true that you should be careful, just do as you say."

Hudson said with a smile.

It is rare that there is someone who is willing to use his brain and the suggestions he makes are acceptable, so he naturally needs to encourage him at this time.

Having a certain foundation, he encountered so many difficulties in starting a business and innovating. If he started completely from scratch, Hudson was very suspicious that he had not stepped out of the novice village and would die halfway.
