Chapter 98 - 2: Spring Plan
Roman improved agricultural tools, screened seeds, and applied fertilizer, which freed a large amount of labor from the land.
But this labor force was still not enough!
He needed a population!
Slave ships could not satisfy Roman’s demand for labor.
Thus, he set his sights on Kant Territory a hundred kilometers away from Sige Town.
The land ruled by the Count of Kant.
Situated at the edge of the Black Iron Kingdom, the territory was vast, with half of it being rugged hills and wilderness; the land was fragmented, not cohesive.
Its population numbered between thirty thousand and fifty thousand people.
Kant Territory had no special products; its main output was grain, a proper agricultural territory.
Recently, merchants from Sige Town had traded salt for a large amount of coarse grain in Kant Territory.
