Infrastructure maniacs from the East

Sighing, Lord Xu once again fell into the hell of endless documents. In the cold winter, he can't sleep under the quilt, but sits at the table and corrects documents. It's too cruel. The silent Merel A serving of slightly hot tomato and egg soup was brought, and Xu Tan took it, raised his neck and drank it in one gulp, his Adam's apple on display moved slightly with swallowing, making one feel the urge to bite into it.

After Xu Tian finished drinking the slightly sour and fresh soup, he naturally handed the bowl to Melelle. The blond-haired, blue-eyed butler ate the remaining tomatoes and the few eggs left in the bowl with integrity. Only then did a series of silver tableware be put away at the door, and someone will take over the rest.

Speaking of which, the lord's tableware looks black after using it for so long, so let's replace it with a good batch when the caravan goes out this year. Now let's ask if any of those who come here are silversmiths... Melelle Unknowingly, his thoughts flew from herbal medicine notes to Xu Tian's basic necessities of life, but he himself didn't notice it.

The flood and the arrival of winter made the number of prey in the woods very tragic. Eric took the knights out for a day, and most of the harvest was a few rabbits, which couldn't even fill their own stomachs, let alone the fee This situation lasted for a while. Xu Tian simply put the dejected young master by his side, and asked him to take good care of his rough skin and prepare to be cheated and abducted in the coming year... Bah, to develop business.

Eric is no longer an ignorant child of thirteen or fourteen. He is eating snacks beside Xu Tian to review what he has learned. There are many, many papers full of words in the lord's study room. Stay on the shelf well-behaved, astronomy, geography, customs, history, politics, anecdotes and anecdotes are all inclusive. The young master just finds what he needs most according to the classification and starts to focus on learning. The aristocratic air makes it impossible for him to ask Melelle for advice. But the book about herbal medicine was almost torn by him.

Planting flowers pays attention to the same source of food and medicine, and the book of medicinal materials is actually equivalent to the book of plants. Eric will take the caravan to other places in the spring, and no one knows what will happen. Give him more knowledge, don't ask him to be brave, don't expect him to return home, as long as he can save his life when he is really in danger, after all, being young means that capital fails and you can start over, even if you lose arms and legs, it's no big deal, but The lord of Febrina is not a god, and he cannot snatch someone from Hades.

It might sound a bit cold-blooded, but it is also human nature. Xu Tian has never been a good person. He will never get involved in things that cause trouble. One day it was carried back in a box by someone else, so he might as well raise Eric for the rest of his life!

Everyone adopts a child who hopes to be smart, but I have been fooled by being smart all my life; I only hope that the child will be stupid and rude, and come to the court without disaster or difficulty.

Xu Tian's thinking is similar, although the young master is just a younger brother in his eyes, not a son... But the truth is the same after all.

"Let's rehearse some new plays."

Lord Febrina, who was correcting the document, suddenly remembered the white lotus green tea Madonna who had seen it in his previous life, shivering and decided to let the drama actor who had just been idle go back to his job again. Eric added a thousand dollars to him. In the eyes of the layer filter, there is a pitiful one. If Dou Chukai is abducted by girls or boys with ulterior motives, Xu Tian will vomit blood... Yes, there are also various cheating tricks that have to be taught, they are not harmful But don't let yourself be harmed by others.

As soon as the brain hole opened up, the inspiration was like a spring, and Lord Xu's brush could not stop when it was stained with paper. The more I wrote, the more things I felt I could squeeze in. The vicious circle was not stopped until late at night by Melelle. Interrupted, Eric had already gone back to the next house and fell asleep, the butler's face was a little blurry under the dim candlelight, Xu Tian knew that he was overusing his eyes and didn't insist anymore, he hurriedly finished eating the egg and lean meat noodles I washed up and lay down on the bed, yawned in a comfortable position and lost consciousness.

The following days were as peaceful as ever, and Xu Tian spent some time writing the complete book of the best... Bah, after writing the new script, he still lived his daily life of correcting documents before dawn until late at night. This book must be monotonous and boring.

Thinking that it’s not a problem for more and more people to distribute food all the time, Xu Tian struggled for a while and decided to take advantage of the fact that everyone is rushing to promote the use of metal coins. Considering the living standards of most people, the lord decided to First make copper coins...the crucible.

That's right, Xu Tian will never allow Febrina to use the messy coins from other territories. The lord has not had a clear understanding of how important the right to mint coins is until now, but since it is mentioned in the history books he has learned There must be an irreplaceable necessity. After all, the textbooks of middle and higher education can’t cover the general big things. Yuan Lao didn’t see that he can be a god in this world, and he only took up a few of one of the compulsory history textbooks in high school Can you write?

Standing on the shoulders of giants, Xu Tian does not intend to make big coins worth five to ten times the price of ordinary coins. This is an unnecessary coin with a nice name but it will only lead to private minting money to entrap the people. He also does not intend to The best casting fineness of Jingdu Baoyuan yellow coins and Guangdong Gaozhou green coins (mainly not), what four-fire copper gold-backed money and two-fire copper fire paint money lord, this concept, I know that I can only talk about it on paper Xu Tianmo wrote down the necessary utensils and production methods and went back to correct the documents, leaving only a bunch of craftsmen scratching their heads and worrying.

The time is tight and the task is heavy. Brass smelting crucibles need manpower to prepare all the molds. It is not the first time for the craftsmen to do these things. The selected craftsmen who were engaged in the work related to it were still a little ignorant, but they followed their team and disappeared after a while. The room that was bustling just now was empty in a blink of an eye.

The casting of coins was assigned to the Ministry of Industry where most of the craftsmen stayed. Xu Tian also specially built a large brick and tile house as their activity place, which also divided the private rooms of the masters. The keys received by the identity of the backup office made the old people who had already been frightened feel a sense of security. They all paid Lord Xu's rainbow farts like they didn't want money. It can be said that these people are very practical.

The waterwheel is also slowly improving in everyone's brainstorming, and the less important large pieces can be outsourced to increase the production quantity. Although the craftsmen still don't quite understand why their lords attach so much importance to the waterwheel, but As people who wanted to prepare meals, they obediently obeyed. By the way, they invented water mills and rice pounding equipment, which reduced the labor load of the people and improved the taste of the staple food. Xu Tian's appetite was also better than before.

The mold for casting money is not difficult to make: four wooden strips one foot two inches long and one inch wide form the frame, and the fine mud powder and charcoal powder passed through the millstone and sieved are mixed to fill the hollow in the middle, and are left secretly. A little bit of soybean oil was carefully dripped on a small portion of pine resin, and the person who had prepared it a long time ago lit it and smoked the frame carefully with this mixture. A group of two was considered a success. I was worried for a long time when I was going to use rapeseed oil, but I was relieved when I finally found out that I could use vegetable oil instead.

The manufacture of the crucible is even simpler—mix the dry brick powder and carbon powder in a seven-to-three ratio, and add cow hooves of unknown use to make a container eight inches high and two inches five minutes in diameter. It can be combined with mud powder to make copper easier to melt. When smelting, first add copper to melt and then add zinc to enter the mold.

It took longer to prepare than Xu Tian imagined. Ever since Eric was put by the lord's side in winter, the lard has been decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye. Ordinary citizens who don't know the kitchen have been worrying. There are a lot of cured products, but eating too much will have an impact on the body. As the leader of the top configuration, Xu Tian doesn't know this kind of trivial matter. He doesn't need to open the kitchen with Melelle. So this situation was not discovered until Xu Tian asked Eric on a whim.

At this time, all the animal fat has been consumed, and the citizens have eaten smoked/bacon steamed stuffed buns for a week. The kitchen members who dare not let these things disturb the lord have all been sprayed with pale faces, and have recently fallen into decadence. The Xianyutian finally once again deeply realized the class problems and the lack of management personnel in this era.

You can't do such a small thing well!

Of course Xu Tian also knew that he was just venting his anger. After all, the source of fat here is mainly animals, so...Salted fish struggle.gif

#I really broke my heart for you.gif#

The matter of vegetable oil must be put on the agenda again. The half-dead salted fish asked the housekeeper to help find the record of the last oil refining, recorded the problems one by one, and rushed to the craftsman to make him improve. The craftsman who hadn't crawled out of the coin-minting pit shivered subconsciously after seeing the familiar paper in Xu Tian's hand.

How will the Lord torment them this time... (Despair.gif)

Seeing everyone's sluggish gazes, which were more mournful than heartbroken, Lord Xu felt a little bit guilty about what he was going to say next, put the fluffy paper on the table, and then quickly walked away with a blank expression on his face , What will happen later is not his concern, Xu Tian is just a weak, pitiful and helpless salted fish lord.

#When you can't bear to look, you can choose to close your eyes or go away#

After returning, Lord Xu was still very sad. In order to vent his emotions, he ate two bowls of rice in one go. Before the tears of sadness could flow down the corners of his mouth, he was blocked by delicious food. The thin bacon, fresh mushrooms, soaked hair The bean curd sticks and crisp lettuce are served with fried snacks sprinkled with pepper. The lord thinks that there is no pepper in this place, otherwise he will be as fat as two people in a year!

Xu Tian, ​​who was frightened by his own imagination, didn't notice that his body was getting thinner.

The author has something to say: It is said in Tiangong Kaiwu that Qianmo needs rapeseed oil, but there is no direct substitute for rapeseed here. Anyway, if it is an overhead setting, it should be fine-tuned—————————————— ————————

By the way, how many people still remember that this is overhead?
