Nowadays, on the dozen or so mountains close to the Maple Leaf Territory Plain, the originally tall maple trees have long been cut down, and the vacant space has all been contracted by the indigenous people of Maple Leaf Territory, and the most active among them are those stubborn knights.

After Lin Xingchen took out the brewed red wine, those knights were conquered by Lin Xingchen. After that, Lin Xingchen relaxed the conditions for renting the mountains. These knights worked together to rent one or two mountains, cut down all the trees and planted the grape seedlings provided by Lin Xingchen.

Things were simple after that. Every year, the grapes harvested were made into wine with the help of Lin Xingchen’s winery, and then these guys took their own wine home.

After that, whenever Lin Xingchen brought up something, these bastards never objected.

At first, because they couldn't find small containers to hold the wine, they had to use small wooden barrels. It was not until Edwin saw him worrying about this that he reminded him that glass existed in this world and the technology was very advanced.

Lin Xingchen was very happy when he heard the news. After all, he didn't have to develop the technology to produce glass by himself, which would save him a lot of trouble.

It was Edwin who helped to contact the glass manufacturer. Edwin was not only a powerful magician but also a master of potions.

Pharmacists need a lot of glass products before and after preparing medicines. Although many famous pharmacist masters use crystal, more people still use glass.

The businessman was ecstatic after receiving Lin Xingchen's order. After all, it was rare to need such a large order at one time. Although many of the things needed had never been made, the power of gold coins was to make some impossible things possible.

With the bottling containers, Lin Xingchen thought of many good business opportunities, because now many land contractors have planted fruit trees and grapes. Although red wine has no problems in sales, fruit trees cannot wait.

The transportation of fruits has always been a big problem. After all, no lord is willing to repair all the roads in his territory like he did.

This also made Edwin extremely angry. Edwin taught Lin Xingchen magic, and Lin Xingchen immediately recruited all the people in the entire Maple Leaf Territory who were over six years old and under twenty years old. All of these people had undergone the magician test, and all those with talents were retained.

This group of common people, who could not even hope to learn to read, suddenly had the opportunity to change their own destiny and they all grabbed it tightly.

Edwin, who saw all this, kindly reminded him that it is very important for magical talent to be inherited from both parents. Even if some civilians have magical talent, they can only become magicians of one or two levels at most, and some people can't even get through the threshold.

Lin Xingchen's answer made Edwin very uncomfortable: "Teacher, since you also said that magical talent needs to be inherited, I will teach this group of people now. When their children are born and grow up, won't the chance of them becoming magicians be greatly increased!"

Although Edwin strongly disagreed with this statement, he really couldn't find the right words to refute it.

After testing tens of thousands of people, only about a hundred people were able to successfully cast magic. Among them, the largest number of people were magicians of level one or two, and there were only five people who could become magicians of level three or above.

Lin Xingchen was very happy about this, but this kind of change made even an open-minded elf like Edwin feel a little uncomfortable.

What happened next made Edwin even more upset. Lin Xingchen used the knowledge he had learned and combined it with the characteristics of magic to develop a peculiar combination of magic, which Lin Xingchen named Magic Cement.

The entire magic combination was performed by three people. First, the water mage summoned water elements to make mud and water appear where needed. Then the earth mage came on the scene and communicated with the earth elements in the mud and water to continuously reinforce and make the surface smooth. Then the fire mage came on the scene.

After the water and earth elements extracted their respective elements, they quickly heated and hardened the designated area. After the entire target was dry, a flat road surface appeared under everyone's feet.

As these people continued to use it, the methods and scope became larger and larger. Relying on this group of people, Lin Xingchen built cement roads on all the main roads in the Maple Leaf Plain area.

These cement roads built with magic are very hard. A level 6 swordsman cannot break the road surface even with a full-strength attack with bare hands, so Lin Xingchen used this as a standard to arrange the road construction team to start the massive road construction task.

In order to let people know the importance of roads, prevent them from being destroyed and stop road construction, Lin Xingchen released various slogans, such as "If you want to get rich, you must first build roads", which even a three-year-old child can explain clearly.

The advantage of having a small number of people is that it is easier to manage, but the disadvantage is also obvious that it cannot produce talents. Lin Xingchen felt this pain in the fourth year of Maple Leaf Development.

When the academy was on vacation, Evelin would come over and learn how to handle affairs with Lin Xingchen. This period of time was also the most relaxing time for Lin Xingchen.

Basically, all the useful people in the entire Duke's Castle have been arranged into suitable positions by Lin Xingchen. The rest are a bunch of mud and are really useless, so they can only do their jobs in the castle.

Merchants are the most informed people in the world. The changes in Maple Leaf Territory are naturally in their eyes. After the first merchant selling crops produced in Maple Leaf Territory made money, other merchants began to come in droves.

At first, there were only some small vendors, but after a year or two, they became big bosses. Such a fast pace of making money naturally attracted bigger bosses.

The prosperity of Maple Leaf Territory also came with it. With good things comes bad things. Merchants will never leave empty-handed. Merchants who come to Maple Leaf Territory will bring some goods into the city. This is also the way for merchants to survive. This is a good thing.

The bad thing is that when the first slave trader stood in Maple Leaf Territory openly selling slaves, Lin Xingchen realized that Maple Leaf Territory had developed quite well.

However, Lin Xingchen was determined not to allow slave traders to enter. The slaves themselves could enter at will, but the slaves could not. Moreover, slave trading was not allowed in the Maple Leaf Territory. Anyone who dared to violate the rules would be banned from doing business in the Maple Leaf Territory forever.

There are policies from the top and counter-policies from the bottom. This saying is true everywhere. The slave owners, dressed in fancy clothes, kept circling in front of Lin Xingchen, but there was nothing they could do.

Lin Xingchen immediately took advantage of this time to catch up on his sleep. When the servant called him, he realized that he had arrived at his destination, a row of wooden houses covering a huge area.

"Young Duke, please follow me." Charles led the way with his head held high and chest lifted, making Lin Xingchen wonder from time to time whether this fat guy was laughing at him.

Both sides of the wooden house were filled with people. These people had dull eyes and no spirituality. They were called human only because they looked like human. Their souls had long been destroyed by the slave groups or slave owners.

The closer they got inside, the better the condition of these people was. When they were about halfway there, Lin Xingchen saw some slaves talking and laughing inside the wooden fence.

"My Lord, these are the people who were born in the slave shed. They have been taught to obey their masters' wishes since they were born and could speak. They are the best tools. I heard that my Lord is in great need of manpower. My price here is very fair."

"Thank you, if I need anything I'll let you find me like I did today, but right now I just want to see the ones I want."

"No problem, please don't blame me, little sir. It has become my habit to introduce my goods to every customer who comes to see them."

When they reached the last few wooden houses, Charles signaled to Lin Xingchen that they had reached the location: "Little adult, look."

Then he pointed to the third wooden house from the back and said, "These are the same as those born in the slave sheds in front, but they have good looks and brains, so I asked someone to teach them to read, and they will definitely be able to meet your requirements."

Waving his hand to signal the fat guy not to speak, Lin Xingchen went forward to check. Seeing the people inside constantly posing like fitness men, Lin Xingchen silently nodded in his heart and thought they were good people.

Ignoring Charles, he went straight to the last two wooden houses. Five people were locked up in the second to last one. Their hands and feet were chained. When they saw Lin Xingchen coming, they looked desperate.

There were very few people in the last room, only three, but they were all women. Although there were many female slaves in front, Lin Xingchen fell in love with the youngest one at first sight.

She was held in the arms of a woman. The girl was very delicate and what moved Lin Xingchen the most was her eyes.

Although she was full of fear, she was very smart. The woman who was holding her was wearing revealing clothes. It seemed that the fat man had her dressed like that on purpose. The decent clothes showed off the woman's figure perfectly.

Coupled with that beautiful face, if Lin Xingchen didn't know that he was in a slave shed, he felt that such a beauty would be the object of pursuit by all the men at the party.

Standing between the last two wooden houses, Lin Xingchen raised his voice slightly: "Who among you can read?"

A man in the male's room quickly replied, "I can read and not only can I read, but I can also sing poetry."

With his self-recommendation, others also realized the opportunity and said one by one that they could read.

Even the lone woman next door jumped out and said that she could read, and kept shaking her weapon while speaking.

Lin Xingchen nodded and did not respond immediately. Instead, he asked them to be quiet and then looked at the pair of beauties hugging each other and asked.

"Tell me, can you read?"

"My mother can read, and so can I."
