The Lord is Addicted in Infrastructure

In the process of Xia Zuoyi governing the territory and rebuilding the city, some obvious or potential problems also began to collapse and be exposed.

For example, the shortage of food, the backwardness of thought and culture, and even ignorance... The monotony and dullness of entertainment, the disputes of city-states, the turmoil of war...

The territory he governs is considered to be a very stable and peaceful place, but it is still often disturbed and provoked when it is close to the edge of other countries.

Because of this, Taylor and Dyna are often stationed outside.

Xia Zuoyi wasn't too worried about the cavalry troop deterring and repelling them.

The issues he needs to consider are per capita food and clothing, cultural improvement, rich entertainment, etc... especially the production of food.

In the Western Continent, the grain planting system implemented the two-field system.

This means that the land is divided into two parts, one part is cultivated every year, and the other part is left unused. This method is used to ensure the fertility of the land.

But this system also directly led to the scarcity of food, and the civilians and slaves had no way to maintain food and clothing.

Because the farming methods are outdated and the effective utilization is not enough...there are too many potential problems.

People not only use oxen to plow the land, but also often use horses to plow the land. After all, horses can be used to ride or carry items during slack, and the price is cheaper than oxen.

But there are pros and cons.

Horse farming is not as powerful and intensive as cattle farming. The most important thing is that horses have too many uses, carriages, war horses... horse farming is gradually being eliminated.

This is when conditions permit, rich people will use cattle and horses for farming.

Without enough money to drive, the most used "tool" when farming the land is slaves, but naturally it is not as efficient or faster as farming with cattle.

Shallow agricultural knowledge, backward farming methods and technologies, lack of labor resources, etc. Many factors lead to the inability to increase food production.

Even a little abnormal weather changes or human-induced disasters can lead to reduced food production and severe hunger and cold.

Xia Zuoyi tried to solve this problem many times in the past three years.

For example, promote the combination of farming and animal husbandry, graze cattle and sheep on fallow land, use livestock manure to increase soil fertility, and then implement field management in the second step, fertilizing, soil preparation, weeding and pest control...

After all, the soil also needs maintenance.

And land is extremely important to lords, civilians or slaves, and it is related to three meals a day and taxation.

After the issuance and implementation of effective decrees in the territory of Designia, the food production has indeed increased a lot, but the population and climate problems are still important factors restricting the development of farming.

Now, the food crisis is once again on the verge of recurrence.

The way Xia Zuoyi came up with was to go to sea to find crops with huge yields.

So much so that Samuel just came to the castle and was thrown to Wissus a few days later, discussing with others about the construction of Kogit Harbor.

This is also the top priority.

Then there is the improvement of culture.

Currently, there are only two cities in the territory of Designia, Wissas and Fort Comoi, where schools have been built for the time being.

One is to consider the teacher resources and manpower to maintain the operation of the school, and the other is to investigate the acceptance of the school by the people in the territory.

Not everyone is eager to learn knowledge.

Compared with these, most civilians or children of slaves are more eager to participate in conscription, because this way allows them to gain achievements and money more quickly.

It takes about a year to build a school, and then recruit students... until now, the level of education is no more than elementary school.

Xia Zuoyi knows that there is no rush to improve the culture, and she is also slowly groping for it. Compared with culture, entertainment is more easily accepted.

That's why Xia Zuoyi talked about fashion design and so on to Boris.

Wool, linen, leather, fur... are common materials that can be used to make clothing on the Western Continent.

Among them, the materials for hand-woven clothes are the most expensive.

Because of the extra time and effort required, clothes made of this fabric were only capable and qualified to be worn by nobles.

And if a piece of cloth is dyed in a beautiful color, the price is even more extraordinary, and the clothes made of this dyed cloth are even more upscale.

The Anas Empire has a unique cloth dyeing process, which can make the cloth not fade in a short period of time and maintain a bright feeling.

However, the disadvantages are single dyeing, long time-consuming, and complicated steps.

Therefore, this also led to a small production range of dyed cloth, which was mainly circulated between the two empires.

Xia Zuoyi needs this kind of craftsmanship to be a suitable root for the technology he will come up with later.

One of the products handled by the Nagabi Chamber of Commerce is cloth dyeing.

When Xia Zuoyi asked Boris to give him this craft for free, Boris asked a reason.

Xia Zuoyi: "I will never let you suffer, you should believe in my ability, Boris."

"Moreover, the Nagabi Chamber of Commerce needs to show a certain degree of sincerity if it wants to cooperate."

Boris finally agreed to Xia Zuoyi's request.

"The method of dyeing cloth will be delivered soon. In addition, the changes in the Designia territory in the past three years have been seen by many people, including the Anas Empire..."

After discussing the details with Xia Zuoyi, Boris said before leaving: "Little Zoe, you have to be careful, there are vicious wolves watching in the Anas Empire, and..."

Xia Zuoyi raised his head and waited for the next words, but was caught off guard by Boris and pulled him to his side. The golden hair fell gently in front of his eyes, and an inaudible voice rang in his ears.

"Little Zoe, it's better to stay away from the Pope."

Boris' dark green eyes resembled the color of the bottom of the lake, as if they were decorated with gemstones and absorbed all the sunlight. They were extremely deep, as if they were hiding an unknown secret.

Xia Zuoyi had never seen more beautiful green eyes than Boris.

He stared at it for a while, then asked why in a low voice.

Boris: "The Holy See is too complicated, don't get involved."

Xia Zuoyi didn't say anything more, Boris hugged him and turned to leave.

He said goodbye outside the castle.

After the convoy of the Nagabi Chamber of Commerce gradually disappeared, Xia Zuoyi re-entered the castle, but saw Saigalot leaning against the window, probably just watching the scene when Boris bid farewell to him.

Xia Zuoyi couldn't help but stop, and looked at Saigalot's golden eyes that became more and more charming against the sunlight outside the window.

After watching for a while, he walked over: "When are you going to leave?"

These words were unexpected by Saigalot.

He wanted to laugh again, so he couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips: "You want to drive me away so much?"

Xia Zuoyi: "Not really."

"...Just a polite question, doesn't the Holy See need you to manage constraints all the time?"

Saigalot: "If I need to watch over the Holy See all the time, then there is no need for the people below to exist, do you think so?"

Saigalot rubbed Xia Zuoyi's furry head, lowered his head slightly and looked at each other: "Little Zoe, do you have a good relationship with Boris Abel?"

Xia Zuoyi: "Average to good."

Although pen pals and partners have known each other for a long time, they are not considered close friends.

Xia Zuoyi didn't understand why Saigalot asked this question.

The next moment he heard him say softly: "You'd better stay away from Boris Abel."

Xia Zuoyi: "..."

He couldn't help looking at Saigalot with strange eyes, the words sounded too familiar.

"why?"

Segalot: "Boris Abel is a complicated man."

Well, this sentence also sounds familiar.

Xia Zuoyi remained silent, and stood quietly on the spot, just nodding.

Seeing his small appearance, Sejalot knew his coping mentality, and immediately rubbed his furry head: "I believe you have your own judgment."

Xia Zuoyi pulled his palm down with both hands, and said calmly, "You don't have to worry."

He wanted to let go of Saigalot's hand, but in the next second, he was hugged into his arms again, and the tip of his nose hit his strong chest, full of masculine charm.

Xia Zuoyi couldn't help being stunned, and didn't move for a while.

The tall and handsome man hugged the beautiful and slender boy and leaned against the window. The sun set off the mottled silhouette, which was as beautiful as a painting.

Three days later, Segalot also left the Designia territory.

Xia Zuoyi hugged Brown Sugar, lowered her head and scratched its chin: "...Did he really come here just to give you to me?"

"Ow."

Brown Sugar squinted his golden eyes, and flicked his short, thick tail leisurely.

**

The God of Creation pushed aside the chaos with his hands, created all things in the world, and brought light and darkness, oceans and lands, mountains and rivers to the world...

He created seven life systems: gods, dragons, orcs, giants, elves, dwarves, and mortals.

The gods perform their duties and bring happiness to the world.

Griffith, the God of Light, Karis, the Goddess of Wisdom, Meiweisi, Goddess of Wisdom, Goddess of Earth, God of War, God of Love, God of Sea...

Countless gods were created by the Chuangshi God.

They listen to the will of the Creator God, love innocent and lovely children, boys and girls with pure hearts, and hate wicked people... They will respond to people's prayers.

The above are the myths that have recently been circulated in the territory of Designia.

So far, the story has only involved the legends of the gods.

These stories were first circulated in schools and churches in Wissus and Fort Comoi, only for children, and they were very popular.

But just because the story was very complete and very interesting, it didn't take long before it began to attract the attention of adults.

Immediately, the content of the story gradually spread to the entire territory.

It is not that there have been stories based on the Creation God before, but none of the stories have a detailed system and cognition like the myths circulating in the territory today.

Each god has a corresponding short story - their birth, abilities, relationship with each other, etc. are clearly explained...

Each story is independent, but after reading, you will find that these stories together are more of a whole.

What people say is not comprehensive after all.

Therefore, when the Thorn Chamber of Commerce began to sell books about "Story of the Gods", many people, including commoners and slaves, gritted their teeth and spent ten copper coins to buy it back for the first time.

"Chuangshi God! I must be crazy, I read a book?!"

——Said a civilian who was clearly illiterate.
