?Chapter 185: Chapter 184: Freemen Defect Chapter 185: Chapter 184: Freemen Defect At the night’s banquet, Ranger Hauls brought some good news.
“Sir, in recent times, the trade market of the Glowing Caverns has successfully gained the trust of the Cavern Freemen, and the trade volume has increased tremendously,” Hauls, the market manager, said proudly, “The trade quota could account for half of the entire Glowing Valley Caverns.”
“Half, eh? Not bad, but we still need to keep promoting it, and strive to pull all the trade between the caverns to our market.”
“Rest assured, Sir, I will devote all my energy to getting this done,” Hauls said. “Moreover, recently more than a hundred Freemen have been attracted by the welfare treatment of our territory, and after ensuring they have no criminal records, they have joined our manor!”
“Is that so, not bad.” Russell smiled, as the territory was in dire need of population, “But it’s still not enough; we need to continue to appeal to more people.”
“Yes, Sir.”
Charles took a sip of wine, savored it with delight, and then said with a smile, “Sir, do you know if Red Castle has relaxed the restrictions on the serf trade this year? If possible, we should still buy a batch of serfs from the Volcanic Oasis.”
“It’s still unclear, but I will write to my elder brother Roland; Roland is now working at the Grand Duke’s side and will be very clear about this.”
In fact, not only did Russell lack population, but Baron Roman did as well.
The vast expanse of Glowing Valley, nearly three to four million mu of land needed cultivation, but, at best, there were only sixty thousand people, not enough to farm it, leaving most of the land deserted as wasteland and forest.
Wuyao Snake Manor did not have many forests, but had plenty of wasteland, especially the sloping lands near Curved Blade Mountain and Sharp Knife Mountain, which lay fallow.
Thus, both father and son lacked serfs for farming.
