Infrastructure maniacs from the East

Time always flies when you have something to do. Lord Xu found a plant to repel mosquitoes at the end of the summer when he was about to give up hope. Lord Xu's increasingly inflexible testimonials show that This kind of plant that shrinks and increases petals like chrysanthemum is called pyrethrum, which is the basic raw material for making mosquito-repellent incense. Adding [-] times the water can eliminate insects, and there will be nothing left, leaving Xu Tian speechless and helpless.

The species still needs to be planted. After giving generous rewards to those who found it, Lord Xu decisively transplanted this small plant around his house. The lush green leaves and beautiful flowers gave the ancient blue bricks and gray tiles more vitality. And Xu Tian finally didn't have to worry about mosquitoes making itchy big dippers on his feet anymore. A small part of pyrethrum was kindly distributed by Lord Xu to the people's houses, and it was more or less effective. , As for the little butler who lives with Xu Tian, ​​everyone is envious.

The sales of soap are still tepid, but the sales of soapy water are extremely hot. Even the Holy See has many interested people. Xu Tian has to lament that there are few entertainment items in this period. He is not without temptation Wanting to use money to open up the soap market, the Holy See showed their shrewd nature at this time, and finally had no choice but to give up on managing themselves. In an era without vaccines, if you don't love cleanliness, you are asking for a dead end.

The order of the brick and tile house was decided by lottery. This time, the agricultural officer who still had a lot of scratches on his body won the prize. Fortunately, the butler had no emotion on his face with a smile on his face. The agricultural officer, who was smiling so much that his gums were exposed, shivered involuntarily, as if he was being targeted by something terrible.

Xu Tian, ​​on the other hand, is thinking about the time when the technology can be released and the things that are lacking now, such as cinnabar that can prolong the shelf life of rouge, or arsenic that can be used to mix seeds to prevent pests, and for example, there is no clue now The blast furnace ironmaking, the money needed for the construction of the territory is a bottomless pit, the main thing Xu Dazhu wants to do is to make himself bigger, so that some people who don't even have a thousand soldiers think that the Febrina territory is a waste of money. A piece of fat wants to come up and take a bite.

People who grow flowers have always been hardworking and brave. They don't cause trouble but are not afraid of trouble. If you dare to come, I will dare to bury you!

Lord Xu, who was concentrating on planning the future, did not notice the change in his mentality—from showing weakness in defense to showing muscle. Xu, who has changed without knowing it, is still planning how many houses and roads he will build this year, how much rouge and bean skins he will sell next year, and other economic policies that may have an important impact on his farming plans.

Just a few more years.

Looking at the files on the table that could never be changed, Xu Tian comforted himself. The first batch of managers who followed him had been studying for three years, and in seven years they could almost be his helpers.

He yawned a little tiredly, seeing that the sky was dawning again, the two drank the cold tea beside him in one gulp, Xu Tian, ​​who had not been harassed by mosquitoes much, looked at Mei Lai who fell asleep standing up at some point Er shook his head a little funny, and seriously reflected on whether he was too harsh on this young man in his 20s.

Knowing how much the little housekeeper values ​​him, Xu Tian didn't plan to get up and toss about it anymore. His clothes were already wet and dry with sweat. If he went to bed, he would have to wash his hair and take a shower. By then, the sky would already be bright. Carefully put down the writing brush that showed signs of baldness, Xu Tian closed his eyes with his face pressed against his arms and his arms placed on the document. It didn't take long before his consciousness fell into deep darkness.

"...Lord...Lord, wake up..."

The familiar voice made Xu Tian forcefully open his eyes a little bit, a somewhat fuzzy blond head kept swaying in the narrow field of vision, and his brain, which had finally rested, was forced to turn on, and his slow thinking took him a while to put this The head matched with his little housekeeper.

"...Is something wrong?"

The hoarse voice startled him, Xu Tian barely propped himself up, the numbness and pain from his arms made his lax rationality return instantly, he barely kept his face paralyzed and his face not crying, the tearful howling was earth-shattering.

"Lord, would you like to go to bed and sleep?"

Looking at Xu Tian's huge dark circles, Melelle made a worried proposal, but was rejected as expected.

"exercise."

The seemingly calm lord was crying in his heart, but for the sake of his own life, he still didn't dare to stop and become stronger. The faint smell of the clothes on his body made him frown a little uncomfortable, but he still had to sweat profusely first. Come back and deal with it uniformly.

The plum-blossom piles had already taken shape, and Xu Tian was thinking about changing the martial arts field into a school playground to facilitate the training of soldiers. In a blink of an eye, he thought of the sad reality that he had no asphalt, no lime, and even shells had to be imported at a high price. In the end, he was still sad and indignant. I decided to use plant ash to draw the line, fearing that it would be blown away, I dug out a little bit along the line, then poured water, plant ash and yellow mud to form thick and long lines that are obvious and not easy to erase.

Xu Tian felt that he should save some money to buy a time clock. In his time, clocks were made in the [-]th century in Europe. Although the clocks of this era were heavy and error-prone, they were still top-notch luxury goods, but Lord Xu still felt that I should buy one myself. It is a bit unreliable to judge the time based on the rising and setting of the sun, especially when the calendar is ready to be implemented.

Smacking his lips, he wrote down this thing that can be replayed in a small notebook. When Xu Tian stood up, he felt as if a hammer was beating in his head, and his sore arms could not be controlled naturally for the time being. Xu Da The lord staggered a couple of times before he was steadied by the startled little butler, so that he wouldn't be ashamed to fall and his teeth flew all over the place.

Lord Xu, who has been to high school, of course knows what he is doing now - the sequelae of staying up late and staying up too much. He also knows that if this continues, it will be a reincarnation of illness, but now he really has no other choice. The assistants who share the pressure are still upgrading, and Xu Tian can only grit his teeth and carry it on his own before this group of reserve troops can officially debut.

Fortunately, the original foundation is good, and now he has not neglected the exercise. After cleaning himself up, Xu Tian couldn't see his bloodless lips. He was just secretly happy with the speed of energy recovery, perfectly ignoring the sight in Melelle's eyes. With a complicated expression, he was about to go out to see the results of the current territory. Eric suffered a lot of minor injuries when he was training with him before, and now he can only lie on the bed with a bulging face and sleep under the guards of the knights. Xu Tian did not express any opinions.

The situation of the big river is much better than what Xu Tian judged. In the most dangerous rainy season, the water level is still far away from the water level that represents danger, but the string in Xu Tian's heart has been tense. Compared with last year The obviously high water level always gave him a sense of foreboding. He is not a pure farmer and has never really been in the field, but this kind of situation that only rises but does not fall still makes him very uneasy, especially when this is coming. It's the third year here.

Autumn is the harvest season. Xu Tian thought that in late autumn, soldiers should go hunting in the woods to exercise their courage, and dig out squirrel holes to find wild pigs. Although there are piglets in this city, there are not many Many, Lord Xu urgently needs to increase his breeding scale and planting scale, so that he can work hard to get a chance of survival even when the mountains and rivers are exhausted. You must know that this pig will eat everything when it is hungry...

The iron ore and the so-called waste residue were transported by truck by truck, and the best way to make and burn coal was found out. Xu Tian finally made up his mind to build a blast furnace. Facts have proved that women who can't study engineering are bullshit. Look at the horizontal and vertical strokes that can be drawn with a brush without a ruler, look at the carpenter's ink fountain that he groped and made before, Lord Xu is full of honeyed pride at this moment, and the night before was crazy every day | Roaring long ago Was thrown into the cloud nine.

A small meeting was held to announce the decision lightly, and then Xu Tian spent nearly an hour explaining the principle to everyone... Then he got a lot of small circles on everyone's heads that symbolized dizziness, and the eyes of different colors were the same. Confused, with great doubts in his little head, Lord Xu, who was driven to death by this thing before, got a lot of comfort—it’s great, I’m not the only one who has a hard time understanding it!

"This is a success, at least hundreds of weapons can be made a day."

After appreciating enough of all this, Xu Tiancai threw out the last crucial sentence. It was no surprise that the doubts in everyone's eyes gradually turned into joy. People who have cultivated more or less economical minds certainly know what this sentence means. It doesn't matter if they don't understand the principle, as long as they know what this thing does, the saying that there is a specialization in the art industry has not appeared here, but everyone is now self-taught.

Blast furnaces are treated as secrets like papermaking and composting. After living here for so long, Xu Tian naturally knows how important these technologies that are not valued by the modern age are so important here. , under the grateful eyes of everyone, Shi Shiran walked towards the kitchen with the stamped exchange note written by Xu Tian.

This note was also invented by Lord Xu. The name of the food plus the quantity and the stamp at the end can be sent to the kitchen for the chef to make extra food for you. A little technology ensures that this note is difficult to imitate. The chef sends the food out The last note will be directly thrown into the fire to be destroyed, and everyone will lose their will to do bad things after several precautions.

The main reason why the butler is willing to take on this tricky task is because of this stuttering. His silly girl recently became pregnant again and she likes to eat some delicate snacks, but she is so thrifty and has always been reluctant to buy them. Then he This husband can only work a little harder.

"Ginger milk, milk biscuits and pork rind jelly, right?"

The chef glanced briefly and confirmed. The butler, who had memorized the contents of the note, nodded sharply. After dinner, he handed over the paper and delivered the goods. Think about the expression of his silly girl after seeing this. , the corner of the butler's mouth was raised all the way.

The author has something to say: Believe me, Tiantian is really lucky!
