The Lord is Addicted in Infrastructure

Today is hardly a cloudy day.

The breeze is warm, and the warm sunshine blows in from the open windows of the old castle, dispelling some of the damp feeling of living by the sea.

Xia Zuoyi sneezed a little.

He looked away from a group of seabirds flying past the window, and looked at the housekeeper Johnson who was more than two meters away from him in the house.

The old butler looked very embarrassed at this time, with messy hair scattered on his forehead, his clothes were wrinkled, his hands were tied behind his back, and he was kneeling on the hard stone floor.

—— Was found guilty of stealing property from the owner's house.

He was crying bitterly and telling Xia Zuoyi about the relationship between master and servant in the past, trying to impress the young master who inherited the title of earl at only six years old, hoping that the other party would forgive his life for the sake of the late old earl.

"God of Creation, I sincerely repent of my sins..."

Old Johnson, who had exhausted all his acting skills, looked happy when he saw the little master who hadn't spoken for a long time raised his hand, thinking that things would finally turn around.

Xia Zuoyi was slightly childish, but said in an unquestionable voice: "Needless to say, after all, today will be your death day next year. I don't want to listen to dead people talking nonsense."

After finishing speaking, he waved his raised hand slightly.

The knight who stood quietly by the side knew how to step forward and dragged away the old Johnson who couldn't believe it and his face turned pale in an instant.

After the maid also left, only Xia Zuoyi was left in the room.

He sneezed two more uncontrollably.

The cold caused by falling into the sea was not complete, and brought mild headaches and nasal congestion.

Xia Zuoyi stretched out two slightly chubby little hands with flesh pits and pulled the blanket, wrapped herself up like a matryoshka doll, and then nestled comfortably in the large chair, closing her eyes.

"system."

[Buddhist system 098 is at your service. 】

The stickman with the number 098 on his head jumped out.

Xia Zuoyi: "Is the plot deviated?"

The stick figure pulled a piece of the battery icon, and inside it was a blank space after the battery was exhausted, saying that the plot deviates from 0%.

Xia Zuoyi sighed.

He slipped into a novel.

A Mary Su romance novel set against the unrealistic background of medieval and western fantasy.

Of course he is not the heroine of Mary Su, but a cannon fodder with a total of ten chapters.

In the ten chapters, he appeared on the stage, was mentally disabled, and committed suicide, and was finally convicted of sodomy, and was hanged to end his life tragically.

Conscientiously complete the role of vicious tool man and plot bulldozer.

And the old butler Johnson is a cunning villain who has set up obstacles on his way forward as a bulldozer—bewitching, deceiving, seizing power, and almost usurping the throne.

Unfortunately, the title of earl is inherited by blood.

After learning about the plot, Xia Zuoyi's first solution was Old Johnson who had already stolen the castle's property.

However, the result is in front of you, and the plot does not deviate in the slightest.

According to the systematic explanation—everything in the novel is an established destiny.

For example, the heroine and the hero must be together.

For example, Xia Zuoyi's inevitable death.

…………

Even if Xia Zuoyi stayed away from the heroine and escaped the hanging, she would be burned to death, drowned, or crushed to death due to various accidents...

Unless, change the fate of the world.

Obviously, the early completion of the old Johnson's role will not be able to leverage the fate of the world, and he is stingy at all.

System 098: [The novel centers on the heroine and is written around the heroine. 】

[That is to say, the world line other than the heroine is incomplete and incomplete. 】

[For example, the Eastern Continent is only mentioned once in the book, in two sentences, without too much textual description.The host is on the Western Continent, so it is impossible to find the Eastern Continent no matter what. 】

[When the heroine dies, the world will collapse. 】

Xia Zuoyi is not afraid of death, but she doesn't want to die because of irrelevant people.

"what should I do?"

[This world is an overhead Western medieval background, but it adds fantasy and unrealistic elements. 】

System 098 example: [In the real Middle Ages, there were beliefs in God, Christianity, Catholicism, etc. In this world, there is only the God of Creation, the god who created everything in the world. 】

[The God of Creation loves the divine flower Bellanca, and it is said that those who are favored by the gods can make the pure white divine flower bloom bright red. 】

……

Part of it is different from the Middle Ages in Western reality, but it also highly overlaps.

System 098: [This world is undoubtedly as backward and ignorant as the Middle Ages. 】

[In reality, there are still world processes after the middle ages. In the final analysis, it is the promotion of development. Please ask the host to clarify what the essence of development is. 】

Xia Zuoyi: "...do you take part-time political exams?"

The stickman knocked on the blackboard: [It is the emergence of new things and the destruction of old things. 】

【098 Thoughtful production for the host: don't want to die, seek development strategy: all-round basic construction. 】

[referred to as infrastructure. 】

[It can not only avoid the inevitable ending, but also make up the world line and change the fate of the world collapse. 】

098's caring strategy is indeed the best method Xia Zuoyi can think of.

[Will the host accept it: yes.no. 】

"Yes."

As soon as the words fell, there was a sudden change in front of my eyes.

A three-dimensional map of the Western Continent slowly rose on the system interface.

There are seas, mountains, and water... There are also two great empires, all small countries, cities...

[Light up the host's existing territory: Weishas (countryside)]

Accompanied by the sound of System 098, a small remote city near the sea that belongs to the Gadayat Kingdom instantly fades from gray and is rendered in clear colors.

The territory area and population of Wissus are marked on the top.

System 098: [From now on, Versas will be the starting point of the host's all-round infrastructure, and the gray part is the future that the host will strive for. 】

[Host, come on, 098 is optimistic about you. 】

"..."

The Kingdom of Gardayat, a small country occupying a very small territory on the map of the Western Continent.

Wissus, a small poor territory belonging to the remote seaside of the Gardayat Kingdom, oh no, the countryside.

The future he wants to work hard for... is the entire Western Continent?

Xia Zuoyi felt a pain in her head: "You really think highly of me."

He noticed that there was a battery icon on the upper right of the system interface, which represented plot deviation, followed by a white building icon, which said reputation value: 0.

"what is this?"

[In view of the host's lack of knowledge reserves, 098 has specially opened an omnipotent library for you, and the host can redeem the qualifications for reading related books with reputation points. 】

[Note: Reputation points can only be obtained within the host's territory. 】

What is prestige?

——It is the reputation that everyone looks up to.

That is to say, it depends on how well the people living in the Wissas territory recognize him as the lord.

Xia Zuoyi Designia's mother died of dystocia when giving birth to him, and his father, Matt Designia, was addicted to alchemy, abandoned the government affairs management of Wissus, and raised taxes in the territory...

The already remote "countryside" near the sea has naturally become more poor and dilapidated.

Matt Designia's fame can be imagined.

The entire Designia family is not very good in the hearts of the Wissas civilians.

After the unexpected death of Matt Designia, the Designia family was succeeded by Xia Zuoyi Designia.

A little earl who is only six years old and has no way to make a difference, let alone improve their lives in the eyes of the common people of Wissus.

——There is a long way to go.

It is good news for Xia Zuoyi to be able to exchange reputation points for relevant knowledge.

The heroine lives in one of the two empires, the Saint Airo Empire, and there are frequent frictions and wars with the Anas Empire.

As for the Gadayat Kingdom, it is backward, impoverished, and inconspicuous, waiting to be conquered by the male protagonist leading an iron cavalry.

Before the development of the plot, there was enough time for Xia Zuoyi to prepare the capital to gain a foothold.

It got off to a rough start.

Although there is a noble status at any rate, and it is the title of earl, but there is also a distinction between earls and earls, it all depends on the location and scope of the territory.

Wiesas, at the bottom of the list.

Xia Zuoyi took a deep breath: "No wonder the article is cannon fodder."

System 098: [Host, is there anything else I can do for you? 】

"Not yet."

After Xia Zuoyi finished speaking, the stick man dragged out a package from the frame of the system interface and carried it on his back.

[Since this is the case, 098 is going on a trip, and the offline automatic reply mode is activated. If the host has any problems, he can send a cosmic email to 098's cosmic mailbox. 】

Xia Zuoyi was a little dazed: "You? Going on a trip?"

[That's right, the universe is so big, 098 is going to see it. 】

[Host please rest assured, the return channel is fast and safe, 098 will bring gifts to the host after returning. 】

Xia Zuoyi didn't quite understand this system.

"Aren't you staying to monitor the plot's deviation from the schedule?"

[Please read the full name of 098 silently. 】

"...Buddhist System 098?"

[The host please clearly understand that 098 is the No.90 eight system that appeared in the Buddhist series. To implement the Buddhist concept for the host's mission, to be a Buddhist system must have no desires or demands, be calm and calm, and not implement supervision , depends entirely on the consciousness of the host. 】

"...what other series?"

[Sand Sculpture Series, Tuhao Series, Secondary School Series, Krypton Gold Series...]

Xia Zuoyi: "It sounds like you are more normal."

[Thank the host for complimenting 098. 】

Conversation ended and left at 098.

There is an avatar of a stick figure on the upper left of the system interface, just click it if you want to send an email.

Xia Zuoyi opened her eyes, and it was still clear outside the window.

He lifted the tightly wrapped blanket and stood up with the back of the chair. The height of the chair was enough for him to look out the window at the magnificent Kojit Sea.

Xia Zuoyi muttered to herself: "Ocean economy..."

Probably the most valuable and useful thing for the impoverished Wissas territory in the future is the right to use the waters of the Cogit Sea.

The novel introduced the Cogit Sea, the most extensive ocean in the Western Continent, which connects two inland rivers, the Vulli River flows through the Anas Empire, and the Abdin River flows through the San Airo Empire.

And the farthest end of the Cogit Sea is the Eastern Continent.

Xia Zuoyi stroked the back of the chair with her slightly chubby fingers, thinking silently.

At this moment, the system made a "beep".

There is mail sent.

Xia Zuoyi was puzzled, didn't he just leave for a long time?

He poked open the head of the stickman who kept shaking.

The email pops up—[Dear host, I forgot to give you the benefits of wearing books. The benefits of choosing the infrastructure strategy are—there is a natural asphalt mine on the Par Mountain adjacent to Wissus.Attached is a map showing the exact location. 】

The back is a jpg picture.

Xia Zuoyi was startled: "Natural asphalt mine."

He knows this thing, it is a waterproof and anti-corrosion material widely used in civil engineering.

It has to be said that the benefits presented by the system are very practical.

The only question is how to include Paar Mountain within the territory of Wissas and make it his own private property.

Staring at the gray Paar Mountain on the map, Xia Zuoyi fell into deep thought.

Pallshan's question is put in mind for the time being.

Xia Zuoyi called the young maid Kelly and asked, "Where is the person who rescued me from the sea?"

Kelly looked a little apprehensive, and scratched her skirt with sweaty hands: "My lord, he is in prison."

Xia Zuoyi frowned slightly, which made Kelly even more nervous.

After the old butler Johnson was dealt with vigorously, she couldn't help but realize that the little earl in front of her was different from the old earl who was obsessed with alchemy and ignored the castle's government affairs...

She was a little worried about the innocent Judit Jansen.

Xia Zuoyi Designia was swept away by the waves because of his playfulness, and because of old Johnson's carelessness and negligence.

At that time, there were quite a few male servants who followed, but only Judit Jansen did not hesitate to save people.

After being rescued, Xia Zuoyi Designia had a high fever.

In an age where a little disease could kill, Judit Jansen was convicted.

The charge was: failing to rescue the little earl earlier, causing the little earl to fall into a coma with a high fever.

It sounds ridiculous, but such a crime is completely feasible in the entire Western Continent.

Aristocratic privilege above all else.

The lives of civilians and slaves are not worth mentioning, as low as dust.

Judit Jansen could not be convicted.

But if Xia Zuoyi Designia died, the old butler Johnson would be the first to bear the brunt. In order to shirk responsibility and escape punishment, he would naturally find someone who was responsible.

"Officials" are one level older and crush people to death.

Judit Jansen could not resist.

Xia Zuoyi didn't expect him to be in prison: "Someone bring him here."

"Yes, Lord Count."

Judit Jansen was quickly escorted into the room and knelt on the cold floor.

The two-day prison life may be a bit difficult.

He looked pale, with chapped lips, and a little stubble on his chin, but his hair was combed neatly behind his head. Although his clothes were slightly dirty, they were rarely wrinkled, but they were stuck to his body due to dampness.

He took care of himself well, and his spirit was not depressed by the trumped-up charges. His expression was calm, without any fear or anxiety.

Xia Zuoyi withdrew her gaze from looking at him, and changed her decision to release him after giving him some rewards.

"name."

A childish voice sounded.

Judit Jensen raised his drooping eyes slightly since he came in.

He saw the little earl sitting in the middle of the wide chair with his feet not touching the floor, his round cheeks no longer showed the sick redness caused by the high fever, but a healthy color.

"Judit Jansen, my lord."

"Want to clear your name?" Xia Zuoyi said, "I can give you a chance."

Of course Judit Jansen thought: "Please make it clear, Lord Earl."

"Serve by my side, if you satisfy me, you will be innocent."

"...Yes, my lord."

This request was a bit strange and puzzling to Judit Jansen.

Because it's so easy.

After all, it was his duty and responsibility to serve the Earl.

In the past, as a second-class servant, he was not qualified to directly serve the earl. His main work was to clean the castle and cultivate the fields.

Work is the most tiring, and food is the second-best.

And to wait by the little earl every step of the way, except that he has to devote himself to doing everything in every detail, the treatment in all aspects is much better than before...

Especially after the catastrophe, the little earl became well-behaved and calm, and there was no deliberate act of making things difficult.

After getting used to it day by day, Judit Jansen became more and more comfortable with his new responsibilities.

For Xia Zuoyi, he validated his idea.

——Judit Jensen is indeed a person with a delicate mind and a serious and steady work.

He would observe Xia Zuoyi's habits of waking up early and before going to bed, and after silently writing it down, he would arrange everything properly and reasonably.

He will pay attention to what Xia Zuoyi has to do every day, and get to know and familiarize himself with it in advance, so as to ensure that he can answer immediately when asked.

Judit got along very well with the servants in the castle, and was impeccable in terms of words, deeds and etiquette.

What's more, he didn't hesitate to save people, and after being imprisoned, he remained calm, paid attention to his manners, and didn't let himself show his embarrassing side, which was the main reason why Xia Zuoyi decided to change his mind.

During the period, Judith also gave him a surprise.

"You can read?"

Xia Zuoyi was a little surprised, because Judit quickly sorted out all the books he accidentally dropped on the ground.

"Yes, my lord, my great-great-grandfather was awarded the title of baron." Judit replied.

In the Western Continent, titles are hereditary to nobility, and only the lowest baron can be awarded through merit.

Other than that, civilians don't have any chance of advancement.

Being able to read and write is a rare thing, and being awarded the title of baron is even more difficult.

But after getting it and then losing it, it must have experienced a lot of changes.

Now Judit Jansen has no relatives but friends, Xia Zuoyi has no intention of poking his wounds, no wonder he is not like an ordinary servant, and some etiquette is also in place.

The inspection is over.

Xia Zuoyi said directly: "Are you willing to be Designia's butler?"

Judith's pupils narrowed slightly.

He didn't expect and wasn't prepared to hear this sentence. From the second-class manservant to the housekeeper, the span is a bit big, and he couldn't help standing in place for a while.

But he reacted quickly and bowed his head: "I am willing, Lord Earl."

The sun shines from the window and travels to every corner of the house, bright and warm, even the fine dust floating in the air can be clearly seen.

Xia Zuoyi sat on the chair, his whole body seemed to be shrouded in golden light, he stretched out his hand: "From today on, you will be loyal to me."

Judit knelt down on one knee, held up his white, tender, short and chubby hands to his forehead, and said softly and reverently: "I will always be loyal to you."

The author has something to say:

Xia Zuoyi: I am the man who wants to conquer the Western Continent.

The entire Western Continent will be my territory.
