Infrastructure maniacs from the East

Chapter 176 The Lord of Conscience

Xu Tian, ​​who has been trained by the army, does not know that someone covets his nest. The water level is getting closer and closer, so Lord Xu has basically determined that there will be floods this year. Of course there are flukes, but they only occupy a small part. Xu Xianyu managed to gain a firm foothold on this yellow land, and he didn't want to go to other places wrapped in mud to live under the fence of others.

Except for the necessary agricultural activities, army drills, Xu Tian called most of the things on hold. What he sold to the merchants were all things that were prepared in winter, and milk skin, acorn powder, bean curd sticks and the like all had a certain shelf life. Low temperature storage in winter is just right for selling in spring, and a new batch of uninterrupted supply can be made when summer comes. As a conscientious lord, Xu Tian never tries to use various harmful substances to increase the shelf life (mainly not).

This also means that if the nobles don't finish eating these things in summer, these high-end foods from Febrina will go bad. Unless you put a lot of thought into storing them with ice cubes, the food made by Autumn's Tail can be stored forever. At the end of summer, the modern ordinary food that these nobles can enjoy really cannot be said to have a short storage time, but Xu Tian easily transported the food of the nobles quietly through these seemingly inconspicuous foods.

No one cares about these little things. If it is said that the white bread made of wheat is delicious in the eyes of these people, no one will say such things after the arrival of Xu Tian's products, whether it is slightly bitter acorn tofu or flavor Full of milk skin, even soy products that can be cooked simply after soaking in water taste like white bread. Under Xu Tian's seemingly indistinct manipulation, these simple daily foods are replacing unimproved bread. The aristocrats who are simple and extravagant have no objection.

Xu Tian got the food, the merchants got the benefits, and the nobles got better enjoyment. It can be said that everyone is happy.

The labor force that can be pulled out has gone to the mountains to build warehouses or assist in building warehouses. If it is not for the lack of raw materials, Lord Xu is thinking about whether to build mud houses into bricks and tiles to increase resistance. Although the flood fighting videos I have seen in modern times The fuzzy noise also somewhat left an impression on Lord Xu. It would be no wonder that the seemingly solid earth embryo house would not be damaged after being soaked in water for three to five days, but now it is really stretched and the person in charge is dead. Many brain cells can't finish such a huge workload.

Xu, who was getting more and more anxious, of course knew that they had tried their best, so after several meetings and discussions, everyone reached a difficult compromise-the warehouse must be repaired, and even if there are not many houses built on high places, several emergency shelters must be built. , Yamashita saw the progress of the project before making plans—this meant temporarily abandoning the house below, and everyone knew it but no one pulled this fig leaf.

Xu Tian planned to wait for Catherine and the housekeeper to talk about the flood. Once this kind of news spreads in the bottom, it will only cause panic. Lord Xu, who does not believe in human nature at all, does not want to lose enthusiasm for his thriving territory. I don't want the population that has been so hard to increase to run away again. There are only a few thousand people in the pitiful, and many projects will be paralyzed if it is reduced.

So the vigorous and vigorous construction that has been dragged on for a long time began. A relatively flat highland was roughly flattened and then put on a solid foundation. The bricks piled up into a hill are also constantly shrinking under the efforts of everyone. The younger children are often happily waiting to catch bugs in exchange for food, and the relatively weak old people gather together in small groups to rub straw ropes. Straw sandals.

The yellow mud is used directly and those that come out when digging the river are more than enough. The newcomers who have just been sent to the territory work diligently and some skilled workers to weave linen cloth with spindles and spinning wheels. After weaving a rectangle that is two meters long and one meter wide, it is carefully Folded and put together, it will be taken away after a certain amount is reached, but even so the consumption rate of hemp cannot keep up with the production rate, and the newcomers to the textile department are very desperate to see more and more raw materials every day.

Lord Xu, who was preparing to store grain, couldn't take into account the emotions of these people for a while. The barley and wheat should be placed separately, and the buckwheat should also be reserved. The seeds and grain should not be put together. The salt of human strength must be stored in advance to prepare for the worst. Fresh meat should be processed into bacon and bacon to extend the shelf life as much as possible.

Clothes can be put aside temporarily, but onion, ginger and garlic, which can improve immunity, must be harvested in a variety of ways. The hard-made fertilizer can be put into the soil as soon as possible. It is easier to accept the weakening effect of the fertile field than to feed it all to the river god. , the waterproofing of the warehouse must be done well, and wooden shelves must be placed to store some odds and ends. In order to prevent the enemy to the greatest extent, the training of the soldiers must be strengthened. Looking at the list that is getting longer and longer, Xu Tian's head is getting bigger and more profound. I have a better understanding of what it means to be a leader's hard work.

Fortunately, more than three years have also cultivated a group of capable people. The blast furnace that has not been extinguished has turned the lack of iron tools into a shortage of iron ore. Xu Tian's orders were carried out in an orderly manner. The small warehouse was quickly built up. It was eight meters long, four meters high, and six meters wide. There was something inexplicably cute about it. There was nothing evil about it, but the length and width were determined simply because the height of the trees was limited by the roof.

The warehouses are all small, and the house is naturally not too big. Thinking that the floods will never last until winter, Lord Xu didn't bother to repair the kang. The whole house is full of pottery pots for valuables. Things, the toilet dug a big hole in advance and then used wooden boards to separate the gaps. Lord Xu, who is very budget-minded, decided to add some shelters to the gaps if he still had time. Going to take a bath when the pot is wrapped in meat is a group thing.

The place to take a bath is the most troublesome thing. In this era without a water heater, Xu Tian will not be able to figure out the biogas pool for a while. At that time, he can only make do with it. You also need to prepare enough pots and firewood. The wet firewood is too smoky, not to mention the firepower is not enough, just in case Lord Xu has to save some coal and charcoal. Facing the worst situation, the increasingly impatient Xu Tian glanced at the hard-working figure not far away, and pressed his brows helplessly to continue planning.

Such a big stall was built by himself, and he was really worried for a while. Look at himself who wants to have nothing but holds the power. The great lord felt that the ordinary student in his previous life was just a dream of his own...

"pain……"

As soon as this thought appeared, Xu Tian, ​​who had grown rapidly, realized something was wrong. Before he had time to think about it, he fell down because of the sudden sharp pain in his head. The weak cry of pain was easily covered by the huge movement of his body hitting the table. The writing brush that had been used for a long time in his hand was also broken directly from the tip, leaving a long mark on the paper. Xu Tian's face had returned to calm when Merrell came in, and the housekeeper who was used to it carefully stuffed a pillow Under the head of the overworked Xu Tian, ​​the lord can rest better.

The void that cannot be observed in this era is quiet except for monotonous electronic sounds.

"Headache……"

Lord Xu's faint, which was regarded as a rest, did not last long. When he woke up, he felt a sharp pain in his temple. The caring Melale replaced the broken pen with a new one, took the paper away, and silently served it. With a bowl of warm porridge, Xu Tian felt better after tossing down. He tapped his forehead lightly with his fist and started working again. The blond-haired and blue-eyed butler didn't intend to stop him.

There are many things that you don't have to do if you don't want to do them. Xu Tian, ​​who is timid and afraid of death but also greedy for enjoyment, has the most basic sense of responsibility.

In a place that is unknown and unimaginable in this era, a battle has ended silently. A woman in military uniform rushed into the laboratory, wearing a badge of a star. Start calling for foreign aid——

"...um...yes...researching this aspect...it's troublesome...yes..."

A few simple words did not reveal too much information, and the other side didn't know what to say, which made the woman show a slightly relaxed expression, and the subordinates behind her finally rushed in one step later, but it was a pity that everything was over.

Lord Xu, who is still worrying about the ratio of placement of so many people, naturally doesn't know these things, but even if he knows, what can he do? What can he do if he remembers it? continue to live.

"You are the birth of the sun and the moon, the synthesis of the sky and the earth, and you are the successor of the slash-and-burn cultivation and the first taste of herbs..."

Finally, Master Xu, who temporarily completed the preliminary planning, hummed the adapted version of "Swearing with Fingers" outside the house, and was about to get on his horse to see the current state of the river where the imprint was engraved. The sense of disobedience, even because of the inexplicable solemnity at the end of the voice-changing period.

Although the horses are in short supply, the lord has to squeeze out one end no matter what. Emily, who just came back, heard that Xu Tian was going to see the river, so she snatched a horse in good condition by virtue of her identity as the captain of the exploration team and volunteered. Er wanted to follow, but because he didn't have Emily, the team leader who was familiar with the road, he was unwilling to lose. In the end, he had no choice but to fasten the small bag full of spare items on the horse, and watched the lord with his mouth pursed like a little girl. With Emily gradually shrinking and disappearing back.

Someone tried to comfort the depressed butler, but was politely rejected. Everyone watched as Melale, who was downcast one second, was covered with icicles the next second, and was always warm blue by Xu Tian's side. His eyes are already frosted in winter, let alone getting close, even looking at them for a second, he can't help shivering, and several women who tried to hook up with the superiors immediately lost their minds.

Melelle, who was not in a high mood, went directly back to his room and began to process the medicinal materials. The powder that should be ground should be crushed. Such trivial things that require patience have always calmed the housekeeper down.

The author has something to say: Solemnly declare: There is really no so-called next game of chess!Brother Yan doesn't have that much patience!
