Clash of Lords: Civilization Game Comes to Reality

Chapter 172 The Days When the Lord Was Absent

"It should be this way."

Li Erlang led the retired bishop of the Guangming Sect, who came all the way from Telang, and walked step by step from the inn to the agricultural area. Li Erlang had just finished transporting the grain and looked at the old man wearing distinctive clothing looking around in the town. He looked around and took out a few pieces of candy to give to the children who were playing. He was very happy.

After asking, I found out that the other person was the bishop who was about to take office in Yangcheng. Although the old village head Li Erlang didn't know what a bishop was, he had never heard of the name of the Guangming Sect. 늀 thought about leading 놛 to Mr. Chongshan, the current manager of the territory. The lord 껥 had set off to work as before, and now the burden of managing the territory was entirely on Chongshan.

The bishop focused his attention on this field, as if he wanted to find the deputy mayor Li Erlang mentioned.

At that time, I was also puzzled that the ruling class of a place would actually work in the same fields as the farmers?

But this rice field is full of farmers wielding sharp sickles, and several children are also bending over to work in the fields. Half-grown children are sweating profusely in the fields. They are all old farmers with slightly dark skin. It is difficult to distinguish the managers among them. .

놛Looked at Li Erlang standing next to him in confusion.

"The work of harvesting wheat is not difficult for children. Children also have to do some work, and our lord also supports it." Li Erlang smiled and said to the former bishop of the Church of Light: "Carry these to be harvested Crops are the real work that requires physical exertion!”

The bishop turned his head and looked at the farmer who was not far away who was responsible for baling the wheat and stacking it aside. Another strong man carried two bundles of rice that had been firmly tied and sent them to the four bundles of animals pulled by the pack animals. The driver then whipped the beast of burden on its buttocks.

The two beasts of burden slowly stepped forward on their thick and long legs, pulling the loaded four-wheeled truck along the built stone road, and transported the grain to the processing place for threshing.

"After harvesting the millet, we still have to dry it. If we know that the weather will be good next time, we can save a lot of time!"

The territory did not build a place specifically for drying rice. Ji Lin obviously did not consider this matter, and Zhongshan did not think of it. It was not until the autumn harvest that two hundred acres of land was paved with stone pavement - a special area. Used to dry rice.

After saying this, Li Erlang shouted to Tianli at the top of his lungs.

"Mr. Chongshan, the bishop you mentioned has passed away and is waiting for you here."

A man wearing the same clothes as a farmer stood up, turned around and waved to them. A trace of surprise flashed in his eyes when he saw the bishop of the Illuminati Cult in a white robe.

He immediately remembered that his lord had specifically asked him before setting off. When Ji Lin went to the Holy City, he invited a bishop-level priest from the Illuminati Cult (the director of the orphanage where Alicia was located) to work in their territory. , maybe bringing some children here can slightly improve the current lack of education and high-level talents in the territory.

Ji Lin had already thought about how to trick this bishop into becoming a teacher in an engineering college. A retired bishop, not to mention his knowledge and no theological content, his own experience was also very rich, and he became a reputation in the college. Professor, it would be good to teach students about regional culture and features.

No matter what happens, there is always a job that suits you.

Before modern times, missionary schools were considered semi-synonymous with advanced education. The same is true for our lords. Accepting assistance to establish a church college is not only free, but can also increase the educated population in the territory.

The church's aid is quite tempting in a sense. A complete set of infrastructure, from canteens to schools to hospitals, is available. As cooperation deepens, investment increases. It is no wonder that some lords cannot resist these church attacks on them. An olive branch.

Although the bishop didn't show it, he was quite surprised. The man in front of him had dark skin, not a natural black, but the kind of dark skin that results from hard work under the sun, wind and rain. However, it has less chapped skin than the farmers next to it due to long-term labor. The difference can only be seen when looking up close, but it is difficult to tell from a distance.

It's really valuable.

"Mr. Deputy Mayor, are you harvesting in autumn?"

놛 shook hands with Zhongshan, who even patted the mud and rice on his hands before shaking hands.

"That's not the case. I planted this acre of land myself and left it to others to harvest. If I don't let it go, it would be more comfortable for me to harvest the fields I planted."

Zhongshan laughed happily. He had just finished his farm work and his whole body was feeling hot. 놛I have been supervising the autumn harvest in the agricultural area during this time, sitting in the shade and watching others working. I couldn't sit still, so I went to harvest the acre of land I had planted.

The territory was busy with affairs, but Zhongshan always wanted to plant something. Otherwise, he would feel itchy and his skills would deteriorate if he didn't plant something, so he took an acre of fertile land and came over to cultivate it for a while after get off work. Watching the green field that belongs to me swaying in the evening breeze, the fatigue of the work also disappears.

Ji Lin also wanted to leave such an acre of land for himself, but his body really didn't allow him to run around. He opened a nursery for himself behind the city hall and planted some seeds given by Forna. According to her, Good to feed' some berry plants.

There is no problem except no results.

"Please forgive me for the poor reception since you came here in person."

As a bishop, if you go to other towns or even cities every day, you have to spread the news, and the mayor or city lord of the other party will take the initiative to come out to greet you. Of course, this is also related to the sudden visit of the bishop, and he did not inform Ji Lin of the territory in advance.

Seeing Chongshan working in the fields like this, the former bishop began to like this territory. He deliberately did not inform Ji Lin to come here, so that he could see the true appearance of this territory.

After all, the dozens of children he brought with him still had to be inspected in person.

The children could not be allowed to grow up in a bad environment.

The people of the Life God Church really know how to choose a place. If this town can maintain its current momentum, it will have great potential in the future and will develop into a prosperous city-state in the near future. I haven’t even seen the academy in this territory yet.

The old man stroked his beard and laughed twice.

When I passed by just now, I also saw the high-ranking priest of the Church of Life and an elf working.

"No problem."

Chongshan brought two stools. This portable stool made of a few sticks and linen can be said to be a very popular product in the territory now. It is much more comfortable than sitting on the ground. The old bishop did not mind sitting next to Chongshan and talked to him about the development of Linyang City. Chongshan was able to answer the old bishop's questions fluently.

Li Erlang brought them two cups of cooled brown sugar water.

Since the establishment of the sugar refinery and its operation, they quickly obtained the product of sugarcane crude sugar, brown sugar.

Brown sugar is a kind of raw sugar made from sugarcane, through juice extraction, clarification, and refining, using the lime method. No chemical reagents or food additives other than lime are added, and the sugar completely retains the flavor and nutrients of sugarcane.

Brown sugar water has quickly replaced the sugarcane juice that is difficult to preserve and process in the territory. Brown sugar can be stored for several years if it is dried and stored, and it is sweet and nutritious. To make brown sugar water, you need to throw brown sugar cubes into boiling hot water, which reduces the labor intensity.

If you want to eat it, you can also take a small piece the size of your little fingertip every day as a snack after a meal.

It's not that we can't make refined sugar, but the territory does not have the relevant science and technology now. Forcing the sugar process will lose a considerable part of the output. It is not as cost-effective as directly making rough brown sugar.

Sea salt and brown sugar, the territory has fully rolled out the production of salt and sugar.

The old bishop looked at the busy farming and thought about other things.

This is a good place. There is no disturbance and noise in the holy city. The manager is wise and the lord is kind. It is not bad to live here for a long time.
