Looking back on his first encounter with an orc scout, Gudern always thought it was an accident.

What if it was the second assassination of the Charleson family?

If all the above speculations are correct, then for the Charleson family, they should be able to easily take possession of this territory by using debt.

Thinking of this, Gudern couldn't help but feel a chill running down his spine.

I originally thought that all the orcs in the territory had been wiped out, but now it seems that maybe everything is not that simple.

Old Joseph on the side, connected with what Gudern had said before, his thoughts were opened up in an instant, and he was stunned on the spot.

Raising an army of orcs is already against the laws of the empire. Now, raising a thousand-man army, is this a rebellion?

After a while, Gudern broke the silence in the study.

There's no need to worry so much. What I just said is just a guess. The specific facts need to be verified.

These words were more like Gudern's comfort to himself. After hearing this, Old Joseph took a long breath and nodded slightly in agreement.

Originally I thought Roy's line wouldn't yield much, but now it looks like there's at least a way to dig deeper.

As he spoke, Gooden paused and quickly made a brief arrangement in his mind.

If the food shortage in Xuegu Ridge is true, then several surrounding lords and Jinyuan City will definitely have news about this.

If you arrange for someone to go and ask, there should be quite a harvest. If Charlieson buys so much grain, then there must be a place to store it.

And normal consumption will definitely not be able to consume such a huge reserve of grain. After confirming the granary, I will send people to investigate. If the reserve is normal, everything will be fine.

But if the reserves are too low, then we have to prepare for the worst.

Understood. Old Joseph also understood the seriousness of this matter and was ready to personally select a group of suitable candidates to investigate.

Gudern slowly tapped the table and continued to ask.

Also, how's the investigation going with Matthews?

As you might guess, he is hiding. I asked Kroger, but he had no intention of talking to me.

I feel that he knows the whereabouts of Matthews and is not from Charleson's side. He will not shy away from asking me about certain things. He should be wary of us because of his status as a tax collector.

At this point, Gudern had already anticipated it and spoke.

Hiding and not daring to come forward can only mean that he has something evil in his mind, so it is very necessary to continue to investigate.

In addition, when searching for his whereabouts, find his relatives and friends and tell them that if they can provide Matthews' whereabouts, after verification, they can come to me to collect five gold coins and find gold.

For such a hiding person, Gudern has no good way to find him. Now he can only activate his money ability and throw money at it.

When Matthews heard the news, he would definitely panic and be wary of his relatives and friends around him.

As long as this goal is achieved, it will only be a matter of time to find him.

Moreover, Gudern does not intend to solve this matter with only five gold coins. As time goes by, he will continue to add more gold coins.

He didn't believe it. Is there anyone in this world who doesn't love money?

Also, don't stop contacting Kroger. If we can get news from him, this trouble may be ended sooner.

Yes, Master.

Chapter 68 Super Wheat, a blessed land

The news Roy sent back for the second time made Gooden think about it alone for a long time.

All the details he encountered during this period made him suspect that there was Charlieson behind him.

And if the speculation is true, where will the remaining thousands of orcs be?

And will he be attacked by orcs again?

All kinds of speculations made Gudern's head feel a little sore. This kind of intrigue was really too taxing on his brain.

After taking a sip of tea on the table, Gooden decided to go out for a walk.

The following work was arranged and monitored by Old Joseph, and he did not need to know the progress all the time.

Just in the past two days, he discovered that farmland and various crops can also be modified. Before the next phase of the task started, he went out to see if there was any harvest.

Going to the farm outside the town, Gudern does not need to wear armor or anything, but he still needs to prepare weapons and guards.

After all, he didn't know if there would be a killer sent by the enemy in the town. Although it was a very outrageous guess, preparations still needed to be made for necessary safety.

In the season of exchange between summer and autumn, the crops in the farmland outside Qingyuan Town have also turned golden.

The scorching sun in the afternoon does not seem so hot under the caress of the autumn wind.

Sitting on horseback, Gudern looked at the golden ocean.

In Gooden's memory, such a scene could only be seen in his hometown when he was a child.

But at that time, a large number of harvesters were harvesting, leaving only a bare and yellow plowed field.

It was also the first time for him to see such an endless ocean scenery.

The huge golden ocean is not all connected together, but is divided into fields by roads in the middle.

There are more than 80 farmers in Qingyuan Town, with a total population of more than 400. Because these people have to take care of the fields, they live scattered among more than 2,000 acres of fields.

Of course, not everyone here grows wheat. There are also about a dozen families who have opened fields on the edge of the town to grow fruits and vegetables.

In order to be able to view crop and farmland information, Gooden dismounted and moved forward after entering the wheat field.

As he walked, he looked at each separated piece of farmland to make sure nothing was missed.

In less than a hundred meters, a top-notch entry appeared.

[Super wheat: Super wheat with a suitable climate for cultivation throughout the year. The growth period only takes 120 days and can produce 1,000 kilograms per acre. (Can be sown repeatedly and inherit entries)]

However, Gudern did not make changes immediately. Instead, he stood up and checked how many wheat entries had this option.

After a brief inspection, it was found that with the just modified position as the center point, all wheat in a square area with a length and width of 100 had options for selection.

Then Gooden looked at the recorder who was accompanying him and asked.

Which family does this entire field belong to?

According to the plan, this should be the field of the Horev family.

Well, help me write it down and I'll visit later.

Recorder Broman nodded and remembered the young master's words in his mind.

As the only designated 'central database' in Qingyuan Town, Broman has a super entry of 'photographic memory'.

This top-level auxiliary entry made Broman directly become Gooden's royal database.

The entire Qingyuan Town distribution map, resident information, etc. have all been firmly memorized in his mind.

After having someone mark down the fields, Gooden continued to move forward and slowly inspected them.

Thousands of acres of farmland were covered in just one afternoon, and three types of wheat to be modified and four plots of accelerated planting land were finally selected.

At the same time, Gudern spent less than five gold coins in total to 'buy' all of them.

In fact, it stands to reason that all the land in Qingyuan Snow Ridge is Gudern's personal property, unless the emperor removes his position.

Otherwise, even if someone has been cultivating it for a hundred years, it would only be a matter of words for Gudern to reclaim it and expropriate it.

At the same time, in addition to inspecting wheat, Gooden also stopped by the fields where vegetables and fruits are grown to inspect sugar beets.

In the economic cycle plan, sugar is the most important recycling income item.

With its own sweet taste, beets are loved by all ethnic groups on the mainland.

Boiling a pot of beet soup in the winter and having a bite of it is so refreshing.

In addition, beets have a short growth cycle and can be planted three times a year, so the yield can be guaranteed to a certain extent.

However, after Gooden's investigation, he found that there was only one place growing beets in the entire Qingyuan Town, and it was considered a monopoly on this market.

The reason for this is also very simple. The planting of sugar beets is not as simple as that of wheat. There is almost no need to take care of it after planting, and there is no need to plow the ground even after harvesting.

During the entire planting period of sugar beets, not only do you need to take care of them every day, but you also need to check on fertilization and other matters every three to five days.

And if there are special circumstances that cause the immature beet seedlings to die, then the harvest in this short half year will be equivalent to loss.

This is why there are so few people planting crops that are not resistant to risks, and they need experienced people.

It was precisely because of the monopoly that Gudern directly contracted the sugar beet field at a price of one gold coin per month, and hired a family of growers to continue to maintain it.

After completing the ‘acquisition’, Gudern took the time to start refreshing the entries on sugar beet seedlings.

But unfortunately, I was unlucky and no suitable one appeared three times in a row.

So he turned his attention to the sugar beet field to try. It didn't matter if he didn't have it anyway. He could try his luck a few more times in the next period of time.

And as the new refreshed entries ended, the newly displayed entries made Gudern curse secretly.

[Honored Land: The yield of crops grown here is doubled and the planting time is shortened by 50%]

I lost...

If super wheat is added to such a powerful entry, wouldn't it be possible to harvest it every two months?

For such a powerful entry, Gudern decisively replaced it.

But just when the replacement was confirmed, Gooden recalled his experience in the mine modification, thought for a while and gave instructions to the people around him.

If I fall into a coma later, just send me back to the castle to rest without making any announcement.

When everyone accompanying him heard this, they looked at each other, wondering what the young master meant by this.

But as a subordinate, the most important thing is to obey orders and nod to show understanding after receiving orders.

After being prepared for accidents, Gooden chose to modify the entry.

The familiar dizziness immediately followed, but compared to the previous dizziness, this time it was less severe.

After Gudern shook his head, the dizziness had receded.

At this time, the sugar beet field has been modified and the soil quality has become somewhat different from before. Some are shiny and black, which is a sign of fertile land.

Since this was his first time modifying the land, Gooden also had no idea how many places had received impressions of the entry.

So he took someone out to check it out, and the final result surprised him.
