Global Lords: I Have Information System-Chapter 499 - 363: Arrival at Boss Bang, Evans’ Manor

This issue is a challenging point for the future development of the territory.

As the territory expands, this problem gradually becomes apparent.

The area where each lord descends is a square area of 200 kilometers by 200 kilometers.

Imagine each area as a square piece of white paper.

Then the territory of the lord is like circles on the white paper.

The higher the territory level, the bigger the circle.

When the range of a circle exceeds the average distribution density of lords,

it will inevitably come into contact with circles representing other territories, and may even annex them.

The trickiest part is that these lords are also potential members of the Legion.

Only lords who develop quickly and are relatively strong and aggressive can rapidly expand their territory.

Compared to the brute force of leveling the territories of these lords within the range, peaceful development aligns more with the long-term interests of Zong Shen's territory.

Of course, there are lords in other regions who choose the unicorn approach, and on this point, it's a case of wise men seeing differently.

Zong Shen silently contemplated, and this trip gave him considerable inspiration.

In this focused contemplation, time flew by quickly.

More than an hour later, they could already see Bang City in the distance.

This is a semi-open city, quite large, with its borders invisible in the night.

The area of Bang City alone is comparable to a county-level city on Earth.

The outskirts are vast orchards, farmlands, and pastures.

All are arranged in square layouts, like patches sewn outside Bang City.

The city's main body is even more expansive, with numerous buildings on the side visible to Zong Shen and his companions.

The buildings vary in height, appearing somewhat crowded and densely packed.

The closer to the central district of Bang City, the more orderly and grand the buildings appear.

Even at night, Bang City is brightly lit.

The distribution of the lights reflects the varying prosperity of the areas within Bang City.

The closer to the inner city circle of Bang City, the brighter the lights, indicating greater prosperity.

From here, the center of Bang City is not visible; they must continue moving forward.

For Zong Shen, who was accustomed to his territory and village, visiting Bang City for the first time was quite intriguing.

Wenresa and the others, however, appeared calm.

Not only Bang City, they've even seen quite a few Giant Cities.

However, after the tense seven-day Burrow Challenge,

leaving the territory and coming to Bang City made their mood much more relaxed.

As the saying goes, a change of environment brings a change of mood!

Being a semi-open city and not at war, there were no guards on the outskirts of Bang City.

They passed by those orchards and farmlands.

Here, they were only two to three kilometers from the street entering the city.

To avoid misunderstanding, Zong Shen decisively chose to slow down.

He also curiously observed the orchards and farmlands on both sides.

A small fire basin was erected every few meters along the roadside.

Many farmers lay on straw mats by the roadside, working as tenant farmers in this area.

The nobles and wealthy merchants in Bang City occupied a large amount of surrounding land.

Some farmers would choose to rent and cultivate the land, paying an annual Dinar based on the size of the rented land.

The crops produced must also be sold to the landowners first.

In detail, they earn just a hard-earned living, but it's better than being a maid.

For nobles and wealthy merchants, they save on labor costs; a fair share of the profits allows tenant farmers to create value on their lands.

And the purchased agricultural products, after deducting the rent paid by tenant farmers, are much cheaper than market prices.

They can further process these products and have their caravans sell them to the villages under Bang City.

This counts as a form of indirect labor exploitation, but it's relatively mild.

The types of fruit grown in this nearby area are relatively simple.

The most common fruit is apples.

Here, the apples are generally about a size larger than those on Earth.

They look like small footballs.

Such apples, Pigsy can eat three or four in one sitting.

A basket of apples holds just that many.

In Zong Shen's territory, they usually divide one apple into four parts for allocation.

As for the farmland, it's too dark at night for Zong Shen to see what is planted.

However, the crops grown by humans in this world are roughly similar to those on Earth.

The yield is about a third less than on Earth.

After all, there's a difference between traditional farming and modernized planting.

However, this isn't the top-level farmland in this world. There is magic in this world, and some Giant Cities have specialized directly governed agricultural zones equipped with Natural Type Magic Arrays.

They also fertilize regularly and have dedicated caretakers for detailed management.

The yield between the two is naturally different.

As Zong Shen and his companions passed by,

some night watch farmers along the way curiously looked at them.

These farmers had never before seen anyone able to tame such large Wild Boars as mounts.

And the woman riding the Black Panther, though her face was veiled,

as the Black Panther moved, the saddle's side flaps would gently sway.
