Chapter 444 Five Provinces
Russell is not a scientific researcher, and he only knows the basics of many technologies, such as oil refining in distillation towers, pearl farming, enamel technology, telescopes and microscopes.
If he were to work on it himself, he might be able to figure it out, but it would definitely take a lot of effort.
But as a lord, he could naturally recruit a group of technical talents to help him achieve these delicate operations.
At this time, the knowledge he brought from his hometown on Earth was as precious as gold.
"Sir, your wisdom is as vast and boundless as the sea, which is amazing." Charles flattered him after seeing the enamel cup, "The dragon is watching, the light is blessing, your lord should have been promoted to a great scholar long ago, I don't know what the Round Table is delaying, and not promoting you!"
Before Mel went on a diplomatic mission, he recommended to the Great Scholars Round Table, hoping to promote Russell to a great scholar.
After that, the Great Scholars Round Table also held a meeting to discuss it.
But there was no follow-up after that, and I don't know which link was delayed.
But Russell didn't care about it. He didn't lack the title of Great Scholar to add glory to himself.
He looked at Charles curiously: "Have you seen the sea?"
"Uh... No, sir." Charles smiled embarrassedly.
Then he added: "But I have heard the legend of the sea. The Grand Duchy of Mist is said to be built on the sea. The volcano of the Mist Dragon erupted from the sea and turned into a giant volcanic island. Every time a two-legged flying dragon was born, an island emerged from the water."
"The sea, the sea covered with ice and snow, I really want to see it." Russell sighed.
The Grand Duchy of Shadow Flame is still too remote. The nearest one is the Kingdom of Blazing Torrents, which is too far away from other countries.
"You can definitely do it, sir. You and Lord Baoli can go back and forth like lightning and travel around the entire Dragon Sleeping Continent." Charles said, "The snowfield is a dangerous place full of dangers for us, but it is like a back garden for you, sir."
"Back garden..." Russell likes this statement.
Isn't the vast snowfield his back garden? He would ride Little Dream Dragon to stroll in the back garden when he had nothing to do, kill snow ghosts and snow demons, and even eat a few bites of Snow Giant Da if he had the chance. It was clean and hygienic, not to mention how comfortable it was.
Leaving the porcelain kiln factory.
Russell glanced at the palm of his left hand, and the M-shaped mark began to burn again, which meant that Little Dream Dragon had awakened.
It took three months for it to completely digest the Frost Star that stole the Snow Giant Da.
"It's time to go to the back garden again and give the head-sized Frost Star I collected to Little Dream Dragon to eat... Tsk, if Little Dream Dragon eats this Frost Star, I'm afraid it will sleep for a few months, maybe even for an ice age."
The warm season has subsided, the ice age is coming, and the Black Fire Land has already had a bleak atmosphere.
The main castle of the Cigar Castle has been completed, and the interior decoration has begun to be arranged, but it will take some time before you can move in.
Russell now still lives in the Cigar Courtyard.
However, some Cordyceps have already migrated here, and several manors are already in operation. They are no longer just land reclamation, but have truly begun manor life.
Land reclamation radiates from the Cigar Castle to the surrounding areas, along the Black Water River, Chishui River, and Xiangshui River.
Cigar Castle is a separate manor with a planned area of about 300 square kilometers, mainly used for cultivating magic potion crops.
Birch forests, bamboo forests, and oak forests are all here.
The first manor on the Black Water River is called Fengshuang Manor, with a planned area of 200 square kilometers. Twenty tobacco farms of 5,000 acres have been reclaimed, and forty tobacco farms of 5,000 acres will be reclaimed in the future.
In the future, the Yulong Cigar Factory will be built here and become the real production base of Yulong Cigars.
The second manor is called Yunwu Manor, with a planned area of 200 square kilometers, and it is also planned to be opened up as a tobacco farm; the third manor is called Bailu Manor, with a planned area of 300 square kilometers, and it only grows tobacco.
The fourth manor is the black oil mine, with a planned area of 200 square kilometers. There are not only black oil mines here, but also brick kilns, pottery kilns, porcelain kilns, glass kilns and other factories, as well as scientific research institutions such as the Black Fire Learning Tower.
In the lower reaches of the Black Water River, three to four manors will be planned in the future.
The first manor on the Chishui River is called Chishui Town, with a planned area of 150 square kilometers. In the future, the central market town of the Black Fire Land will be built.
The second manor on the Chishui River is called Wheat Manor, with a planned area of 150 square kilometers, specializing in growing grain crops. This manor does not need to be guarded by knights, and Russell plans to give it to Charles in the future.
The third manor is called Barley Manor, with a planned area of 150 square kilometers.
In the middle and lower reaches of the Chishui River, about four manors will also be planned in the future.
The first manor on the Xiangshui River is called Vegetable Manor, with a planned area of 200 square kilometers, specializing in growing vegetables. The second manor is called Tofu Manor, with a planned area of 150 square kilometers, specializing in growing beans.
The third manor, called Pearl Manor, has a planned area of 200 square kilometers. A large number of ponds are being excavated to cultivate pearl oysters.
In the lower reaches of Xiangshui River, four or five manors can be planned in the future.
Eleven manors have been planned, plus twelve manors to be planned. In the area of 3,500 square kilometers of Black Fire Land, there will be about 23 manors in the future.
And with the integration of the three territories, there will be a large number of territorial expansions in the periphery, and more manors can be planned in the future.
Insufficient population.
It is likely that, like the Sancha River Mouth, these lands will be left uncultivated and developed into forests to cultivate fantasy beasts.
If planning is really necessary, such a large integrated territory, the part that belongs to Russell alone, is enough to plan more than a hundred manors. If one-tenth of the manors are taken out and distributed to subordinates, more than ten lords can be enfeoffed.
At this time, several buildings have been built on the planned land of Chishui Town.
These include the Chishui Town Office and the Territory Office of the Black Fire Land. One of these two offices manages Chishui Town and the other manages the entire Black Fire Land.
In the meeting hall of the Territory Office.
Russell is signing an appointment document and then stamping it with the exclusive seal of Baron Lei Yan.
"Lord Charles is hereby appointed as the acting governor of the Blackfire Land Province. He is responsible for all government affairs of the governor's territory, and is loyal to the lord and kind to the civilians - the master of Blackfire Land and Lei Ze, Baron Thunder Flame Russell Fluorescent Mushroom."
"Thank you for your trust, Charles will devote all his efforts to the post of governor of the Blackfire Land Province!"
Charles took the appointment letter with both hands, grateful and in tears.
The Shadow Flame Grand Duchy also has a governor system under the Senate.
The Volcanic Oasis is divided into eight provinces, and each province has a duchy lord who serves as the governor of the province and is responsible for managing the government affairs of the office. During the war, these governors must lead the knights composed of lords and obey the dispatch of the Red Castle.
Russell borrowed the governor system.
In his own territory, he also adopted the governor system.
When the warm resonance between the three territories ends and the snowfield completely melts into a warm enclave, he will name his territory Thunder Flame Territory.
The Thunder Flame Territory will establish five provinces.
Blackfire Land belongs to a separate province, and Lei Ze also belongs to a separate province.
The snowfield area where Blackfire Land and the Dark Light Valley meet will form a province in the future; the snowfield area where Blackfire Land and Lei Ze meet will be divided into two provinces in the future. In this way, there will be five provinces.
Five governors in five provinces.
Charles is the governor of the Blackfire Land Province.
"Charles, don't let me down." Russell stood up and ended this territorial office meeting.
In the future, the territorial office meeting will be convened by Charles.
"Congratulations, Charles." Roland, the eldest brother who attended the meeting, stood up and smiled and congratulated Charles.
Charles immediately bowed in return: "The reclamation of the territory still depends on the leadership of Lord Roland."
Roland smiled and waved his hand, saying with a little regret: "The ice age is coming, and the reclamation is almost done. I will finish my work here soon. Next year, I will open up the land in Lei Ze, and then I will have to cooperate with another governor."
He likes working in the Black Fire Land very much. He holds great power and commands tens of thousands of serfs to open up the land.
However, Baron Roman wanted to ride the pseudo-unicorn dragon, so he had to go to Lei Ze to open up the land so that the Lei Ze horse breeding plan could be implemented as soon as possible.
