Please abide by the Basic Law

Biers' complexion was like the bottom of a pot that had been burned for 30 years, full of traces of being scorched and tormented. As soon as he saw Langdon and Cecil, he straight to the point: "Can your kang allow us to survive this winter?"

"Of course." Langdon said without hesitation, "We have successfully tested one, which is very popular. Although the construction requires the assistance of magic, it is only the lowest level of magic, and it can be done without any trouble. In an emergency Naturally, urgent measures are needed."

Biers' seriousness did not fade in the slightest, but he said coldly: "Then, what price does the Gay Knights need me to pay?"

"No need at all." Langdon's attitude was very sincere, even Cecil, who had seen his "true face", felt that this sentence was full of sincerity, "We just want to help poor civilians, who are short-sighted and ignorant Incompetent, it all depends on you, a knowledgeable nobleman, to survive. In the most difficult time, you need to be busy with those big things, and let us take care of the small things. We just make a little money so that they can barely survive , you don’t need to pay the slightest bit of attention to these little things.”

Fuck it, kill people and kill your heart, male god!

"That's good." Biers sighed a long time. "These civilians are almost annoying me to death. They are talking about how to live in winter all day long. Didn't they rely on us to survive? Not only did he not provide me with any help for a little thing, but he kept asking me for it, it is shameless!"

Fuck, you really eat this, pig brain, you? !

"The Gay Knights are always willing to help the king." Langdon didn't look down on Bills' impure bloodline at this moment, and said respectfully, "Please rest assured, we make money and the common people can live. You can focus on Repairing the seasonal regulator, speaking of which, how is the progress?"

Cecil was slandering while listening to the two talking nonsense, and it was the first time that he knew that the air conditioner was actually called a "seasonal regulator".This is Bills' private house. It is a large piece of land near the White Tower. It has three floors. In fact, he thinks it is completely unnecessary, but the people here seem to have a strange paranoia about occupying high altitudes. The three floors are pyramid-shaped. It's smaller than the first floor, and the top floor is just an attic. On top of it, there's a thing like a bell tower. I don't know what the point is.

Bills and Langdon talked for half an hour, most of which were nonsense. In the end, they decided on a "Gay Knights Sending Warmth in Winter" event: Gay Knights sell the heated kang, pay attention, it is the sale of the heated kang, including construction and maintenance, Residents only have the right to use it, and they are not even allowed to dismantle it, because this is a "Holy Knight's Kang", and violators will be condemned by God.

The total construction cost of the kang is ten silver coins, which is almost two months' income of a commoner family. This is not an easy burden. Spend the night outside, so that the common people can earn enough money to buy a heated kang.

"What's the difference?" Cecil wondered, "It's as if we took advantage of it."

"Remember I said not to hire Ebo people?" Langdon said calmly, "Mrs. Klass was considered a fugitive because she didn't go through the customs, and her natal family couldn't go back because there were no customs clearance documents. All people who leave the city legally should have customs clearance documents. If not, these people will be regarded as fugitives. If they cannot explain what is going on, they will be reduced to wild people. This is a road of no return. Most countries No wild people are welcome, except for the Highgarden elves. After Bills agrees, these people can legally come to our village to help, and they don’t even have to go back. This will make them feel at ease. Not everyone will be like Mrs. Krass So courageous, it would be better to say that Mrs. Klass is ignorant or overwhelmed by emotion."

Cecil always felt that Langdon didn't finish his sentence: "And then?"

"What then?" Langdon asked.

"We let these people come out to work and give them money to make kangs, what does that mean to us?" Cecil said, "Don't get me wrong, I think it's good to do this, but you really just want to help these people ?"

Langdon stopped in his tracks and looked over with a half-smile: "Do I have such a bad reputation with you?"

"No, no." Cecil hurriedly said, "It's just...then what, I just don't think it's good for us to do so."

Langdon didn't say anything, just stared at Cecil with a weird smile on his face. The distance between the two was no more than an arm's length away. They were ambiguous and oppressive at the same time. Who could resist this!

Cecil wanted to back away within two seconds after watching it, mainly because he was not used to having such a close distance with people when he was on Earth, or he was about to fight, which is not easy for him, the problem is that he didn't know Langdon's How about the combat effectiveness, or if you are ready to go to bed, that is another situation...

"Well, it's good that you can think of these." Langdon first ended the confrontation and looked away, "It's really no good for us to do this, these workers are always Ebo people, and we will never establish a country to contain them They, this is impossible, the Gay Knights claim to never invade civilization, nor to rule the country, but when these civilians are dissatisfied with Bills, they feel that the city lord will not provide them with food and clothing, nor will they provide them with a way out At that time, of course we need to uphold justice and find a new and wise city lord for them."

Cecil murmured in his heart, "That's true", and then had some doubts: "Didn't you say that Ebo is actually a remote place..."

"Ebo's leather products are very famous, and the annual trade volume is also very considerable. After mastering the tanned leather, it is foreseeable that there will be considerable development."

Cecil said in an inexplicable tone: "However, I provided the tanning method. If you want it, don't provide it to Biers at the beginning, wouldn't it be over?"

"One of the countries we currently support does have a top-level leather business, but this country is beyond our control. It is a very good idea to use the tanned leather mastered by Ebo to combat the magic leather products of other countries, so As a result, that country will turn to us instead, which is very useful for increasing our voice, and at the same time, the smaller Ebo is easier to control." Langdon analyzed the situation to Cecil as usual. , "If we directly use the tanning method, first, it is inconsistent with the basic policy of the gay knights. Second, we need to build a country, select a place, hire people, and tie the knights to a country. What a good thing."

Cecil totally disagrees with this point of view. In his opinion, a country is the basis for survival, especially in this world, where a country means development. However, before industrial civilization can build the Great Wall, there seems to be no hope that Build a nation by magic...

This is a paradox, Nima!

Only this weird world can develop such a weird system as the Gay Knights. The Jews are clamoring for the restoration of the country every day!

"By the way, due to the expansion of business, the Temple will send us another Templar and a Legion Commander." Langdon suddenly mentioned something casually, "There are ten combat knights with us, just in case Possible riots."

Possible riots?

Cecil had been thinking about it all the way, and was only distracted by other things when he got back to the village.Due to the imminent arrival of newcomers and the need to store a variety of plants, it is imminent to build a new house. The knights’ magic bits are not enough. Some people put all their magic bits into the house, and they have been complaining that this is not like a knight, but like a farmer.

The tea tree seeds have been planted, the saffron bulbs have been stored, and the potatoes have been planted in front of Cecil's house. It was not the original plan, but those potatoes have sprouted one after another. If they are not planted, they will become empty shells. Who knows if they can still survive? In desperation, they can only plant out of season, and then see if there is any way to survive the cold winter.

What else is there...huh?

Cecil suddenly yelled, and after attracting the attention of many people, he ran away, desperately rushing outside.After running a few steps, Langdon hugged him by the waist, pressed him into his arms and said, "It's okay, it's okay, I will protect you..."

"No!" Cecil struggled out with a blushing face, "I forgot the barley! Barley ah ah ah!"

Yes, Cecil had completely forgotten about this important treasure.

Hurry up and run to the place where the highland barley is located - I actually searched for a lot of places on the way, the grassland was withered, and there were no road signs at all. If it weren't for Luther's magical way of remembering the way, it would be really a problem whether I could find it or not - it's a pity Yes, Cecil turned around countless times within a radius of more than ten meters, but he didn't find any yellow barley.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!Highland barley!

Cecil squatted on the ground with his head in his hands, regretting infinitely: Why didn't I write things down? !A good memory is not as good as a bad pen!

After listening to Cecil's intermittent complaints, Langdon couldn't laugh or cry and said, "Since it's wild, it might still grow by this time next year. Let's see it again next year."

"That's the only way to go." Cecil wiped his face and said helplessly, "I want a notebook to remember things, otherwise I won't be able to remember."

"It's not necessary, just tell me, I'll help you remember." Langdon said casually.

Cecil just felt that there was nothing to love, and said casually: "You are my boss, so I should do this kind of thing by myself. Always relying on you will make me feel like a useless person."

Langdon opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, then closed it after a pause, and said after a while: "I will let the newcomers bring a notebook and pen when they come, as you wish."
