Although Luo Ning now owns valuable things such as iron and wood workshops, porcelain, and silk, he has not yet expanded his industry.

He was not worried about the protective gear made of Tiemu. After all, the fully armed Wubei infantry squad had already shown its effectiveness to others in this war.

This kind of thing, which is cheaper than iron armor but has certain functions, will definitely have a market.

As long as we bring out the products and Viscount Marvin takes the lead, we will have no worries about sales.

Although porcelain and silk were not mass-produced, they had all been "authenticated" by Lulans and had a broad market.

When Rognar comes back this time, Roning will need him and Pearson to lead the caravan to start opening up sales channels, and what is needed now is more finished products.

For this purpose, Luo Ning went to Huitu Village and Ziguo Village.

During this time, potter Jim and his apprentices improved their skills and produced hundreds of white porcelain bowls.

It’s just that colored porcelain is still under research, and the finished product is not very good.

As for Horn and Leah's sericulture, many silkworms died, but they harvested many times more cocoons than in previous years.

Until now, all the cocoons have not been collected.

"Sir, there are still not enough mulberry trees."

Horn felt sorry: "Later, I saw that there were not enough leaves, so I gave up on a room full of silkworms that were in poor condition. Otherwise, I could have raised more!"

"Then we will expand the mulberry tree planting this year."

Luo Ning said: "Let Wilson arrange more manpower for you. From now on, Ziguo Village will no longer need to plant wheat fields. Instead, plant mulberry fields."

The reclaimed land in Ziguo Village is less than 900 mu, and the income from growing barley and wheat is not as great as that from growing mulberry trees and raising silkworms.

When there is no need to worry about food, the best option is to plant mulberry fields, produce more silk, and weave more silk.

"I feel relieved with your words, sir!"

Horn had already planned ahead, and just waited for Roning to give the order, and then he started to change Mai to Sang.

After dealing with these matters, Roning rode his warhorse to Shanlin Town to inspect matters related to the papermaking workshop he had arranged before leaving.

He has already used the first batch of paper. Although it is rough and has bumps and holes in some places, it is undeniable that it is a good start.

With the use of paper, the spread of knowledge in the Ukrainian territory will become simpler and cheaper than before, which will be helpful in improving the overall cultural level in the future.

"Brother Luo Ning, can I follow you out of Wubei Territory now?"

Irene rode on the black tiger's back and followed along beside it like a little bug.

"Of course, my promise is valid."

Roning had said at the beginning that he could take Irene out once she reached the intermediate level of magician, so there was no need for him to go back on his word.

"I'm going to Wushanbao soon. If it's convenient for you, you can come with me."

"Yeah~" Irene cheered, and the sound was heard far away in the woods.

Luo Ning was looking at the black tiger under her.

This storm wolf cub has been raised for nearly a year now. It is 1.7 meters long and looks like a majestic big dog.

It is not difficult to see that it feels no pressure at all while carrying the petite Irene, which shows its extraordinary endurance.

Roning heard from Irene that the black tiger could now and then briefly enter a hidden state, which meant that it was already a second-level magical beast and had mastered second-level magic.

Fortunately, Black Tiger lived with dogs for a period of time when he was a child, and had been well trained not to bite people randomly. Otherwise, there would be a level 2 magical beast with the ability to turn invisible living in the territory, which would be a dangerous factor.

"Erin, has Black Tiger been howling, sniffing, marking and covering things frequently, or behaving differently from usual?"

"Oh, then it should not be in heat yet."

Luo Ning smiled and said, "When you find Black Tiger in this situation, tell me and I will find a male wolf for it to mate with and give birth to a litter of wolf cubs."

There was a flash of hope in his eyes, "This way, Wubei Territory may have a team of wolf cavalry in the future."

After hearing this, Irene's face turned red and she lowered her head in embarrassment.

What about estrus, male wolf, female wolf, mating, giving birth to wolf cubs... Why did he say these embarrassing words? Luo Ning couldn't help but laugh when he saw this scene. He actually forgot that there was a girl next to him.

"Erin, you have changed a lot in the past year."

Irene couldn't help but raise her head and blinked at Ronin on horseback, her big eyes full of questions.

"When I saw you last year, you were still a child playing in the mud on the mountain. You looked quite ordinary, but now you are getting more and more beautiful."

She lowered her head again, her face flushed again, and she whispered back, "I didn't play in the mud on the mountain..."

She was clearly climbing trees with her friends at that time.

In the next few days, Roning took Irene to visit several towns, inspecting the production and living conditions of each town while also making plans for the next step.

The two thousand slaves purchased from Anthony last time have been placed in Shanlin Town and Black Soil Town. Now the population of the territory has reached more than 18,000.

When the 20,000 people promised by Wiggins and the 10,000 people gathered by Kalbi arrive, the population of Ubei Territory will be close to 50,000.

By then, Roning would probably have to complete the two stages of the [Population Prosperity] achievement.

Before these people arrive, the corresponding arrangements must be prepared in advance. Wilson has experience in this and can handle it easily.

That night, in Ronin's study in Swamp Castle.

Serin didn't know why the lord suddenly summoned him. On the way here, he had thought about what he had done recently many times. There didn't seem to be anything wrong, right?

Was that because of his previous lord, Lei Sen?

But it is said that Lei Sen has been dead for several months.

"Salin, although you used to be Lei Sen's butler, since you started serving me, I have seen your loyalty and recognized your ability, so I now have something to entrust to you."

Sailin's anxious heart was relieved. He bowed humbly and said, "It is my honor to serve you, sir!"

"Soon, I may get a new territory in the southwest of Wushan Territory. There is a lack of a political officer to work for me there. I think you are more suitable."

The affairs of Chishan Town are now handed over to Redar, but Roning does not want Redar to focus his energy on these matters. He needs to find a reliable political official with a simple identity and background.

Wilson cannot leave Wu Beiling for the time being, and among his subordinates, only Sailin is the most sensible and knowledgeable, and is obviously the most suitable.

After all, Roning still does not have enough people under his command. This situation may be alleviated after the victory of this war, but in critical positions, he still needs to use people he can trust or who can only rely on him.

Wilson, Chahar and others are the ones whom Roning can trust; while Serin is the kind of person who has not been fully trusted yet, but can only live a better life by relying on Roning.

Both types of people can use it with confidence.

At this moment, Sailin's eyes widened. He originally thought that because of his experience of being loyal to Lei Sen, he would never be reused again.

He really didn't expect to become a civil servant so soon!

Sure enough, what Wilson said was right. The lord's style of doing things is unmatched by ordinary people.

"Thank you for your trust, Sailin!"

He knelt down excitedly and offered his loyalty: "I will live up to your trust and do my best to manage your new territory for you!" (End of this chapter)
