Transmigration of the bastard lord

Most of the working people in this world don't have shoes.

When Fu Youguang first arrived at the farm, he didn't feel much when he saw the bare feet of the serfs; when he entered Anpu City, he saw that even the free men were barefoot, and he was really annoyed.

At that time, Fu Youguang thought about solving the problem of wearing shoes, iron feet are not something that everyone can practice.If the soles of the feet are cut, the farmers who cannot afford the medicine can only endure it; if they are lucky, that's all. If they are not lucky, a tetanus will kill them.

He thought about straw sandals for a while, but firstly, he had no place to get straw, and secondly, he didn't have the skills.It is easy to roll up corn husks to make straw sandals, but he has searched through the history of the empire and can’t find any records of corn. Where can he get corn husks?

The tangled eggs hurt for a long time, until one day in early July, when I went to inspect the pigsty, I accidentally discovered the replacement material.

To the relief of everyone on the farm, Roger Saul Foods consumed a large backlog of pickles in just one month.The yield of green vegetables was higher and higher every time, and they expanded too much vegetable land under greed. When they harvested green vegetables next time, they really didn't even have a place to put the jars for pickles.On this day, Fu Youguang carried a basket of rotten vegetable leaves to the pigsty, and the women who raised the pigs were sorting out the sundries that had been mixed into the pig grass.When the Earl entered the door, the woman was pulling out a vine from the hog hay, and muttering who got it mixed up, she threw the vine aside.

Fu Youguang glanced at it casually, it was the most common vine in the world, with a straight stem, few leaves, vigorous vitality, and it could be seen everywhere.

Fu Youguang put down the rotten vegetable leaves and was about to check the growth of the pigs, when suddenly he had a flash of inspiration, he stepped back and picked up the vine to observe carefully.

I don't know if this kind of vine exists on earth, but Fu Youguang has never seen it.Its stalks are as thick as chopsticks, the skin is smooth, hollow, and tough.Because the leaves are few and bitter, and the stems are tough, herbivores don't like to eat them, so they reproduce very arrogantly.If it creeps into a fallow field, it has to be removed with great effort when the plow is turned.

Fu Youguang squeezed the stalks of the vines with his fingers, then put them on the ground and stepped on them vigorously with his feet. A vague idea appeared in his mind.Immediately the pig stopped looking, and dragged the nameless vine about two meters long back to the stone house.

Fu Youguang, who is not very dexterous, has a prototype in his mind, but he can't make it into something similar to straw sandals.Simply use scissors to cut it into almost long strips, weave it into a plate like weaving Chinese knots, and then tie the extended knots to fasten the insteps to become the roughest version of the original sandals.

Taking off his shoes and putting his feet in, Fu Youguang tried to walk a few steps, but because of his poor craftsmanship, the four images he made made his feet uncomfortable.However, due to the toughness of the vine itself, the soles of the shoes seem to be elastic, so it is very easy to walk.

"Hey, buddy, what do you think of this thing?" Fu Youguang, who knew his poor craftsmanship, hid back in the room to do handicrafts, and after walking around, he could only ask Daniel, who was always with him, for his opinion.

Daniel looked at him expressionlessly. Although he tried his best to hide it, the contempt still flowed intentionally or unconsciously.Squatting down to pick up something so ugly that people couldn't bear to look directly at it, the high-ranking walker's nimble and powerful fingers flipped to destroy the thing that would destroy the image of the Earl if it was spread; then Daniel raised his head and used That zombie face gave Fu Youguang a deep contempt, and then flipped his fingers, weaving these resilient vines into more eye-catching shoes according to the thinking shown by the Earl.

"Oh, dude! Why didn't you tell me about your skills!" Fu Youguang was so happy that he slapped his thigh, while Sig in his body was so angry that he wanted to scratch the wall, "How can you be more embarrassing——!"

Two-meter-long vines can only weave one straw sandal. Fu Youguang ran to the weed pile outside the farm to be used for composting, and took out a large handful of weeds that were cleared when plowing the fields and clearing the vegetable fields. vine.

These vines have been placed for a while, and the leaves have almost fallen off, but the stems are still very resilient.He confidently chose one and handed it to Daniel, and Fu Youguang urged him to get another one quickly with his eyes.Daniel took it in silence, took out a knife to cut off the root of the leaf, then cut it into a suitable length, and weaved another one with his fingers flying.

Replacing straw and corn leaves with vine stalks seems to be feasible, the key is how to promote it.Standing on the spot and rubbing his chin for a while, Fu Youguang first gave up the method of organizing people to weave and sell them.No matter how cheap the price is, it is very likely that some people would prefer to be habitually barefoot and refuse to buy shoes.It's better to spread the weaving skills and let the farmers learn to do it themselves.If someone with a more advanced mind knows how to weave it and sell it by himself, it can be regarded as promoting the development of small handicrafts.

On that day, Fu Youguang directly wore these straw sandals for a stroll on the farm. Although they were not as comfortable as soft boots, they were better in refreshing and breathable, and the bottom had a slight rebound force when stepping on the ground, making walking steps brisk.

The story of the earl wearing a pair of strange shoes, who was the focus of attention everywhere, quickly spread. When it was dinner, almost all the ladies who stayed on the farm made an excuse to salute and came over to stare at his feet.

"... Hey, when did you guys become so dishonest? If you want to see it, just tell me." Fu Youguang took off one with a smile, and lifted it with his hand, "How about it, angels, to satisfy your curiosity." Have you lost your mind?"

The ladies laughed, but Selina tilted her head and looked at it seriously for a while, then said uncertainly, "It's strange, why does this thing look familiar to me?"

Fu Youguang chuckled, and untied the straps on the upper, showing her the hollow holes in the woven material.

"It's Diman!" The sixth concubine from the northern nomads, one of the directors of the breeding company, exclaimed in surprise, "This is actually made of Diman?"

"Eh?!"

Selina, who struggled to clear those vines when plowing the land, stood up at once, took the straw sandals from Fu Youguang and looked through them: "Really! This thing can actually be used to make shoes?"

"I just discovered it too. Oh, this is knitted by my brother." Fu Youguang said, pointing to Daniel with his thumb.

"Wow, I haven't heard that ground vines can also play a role, teach me!" The sixth concubine immediately stood up very interested. She was born in the northern snow wolf group and broke away from it during the race war. The snow wolves of the orc kingdom are a race that seldom walks on the mainland.They live as nomads with a small population, and their living resources are relatively scarce.Sieg Frandi, who doesn't like women of other races at all, married her with the mentality of collecting rare species, and the price was only to provide her group with a hundred carts of food.

As far as personal aesthetics is concerned, Fu Youguang also keeps a distance from this kind of alien women with animal patterns on their faces; but as far as work partners are concerned, Nancy, a girl from the snow wolf clan, is a good girl.

Nancy, the sixth concubine, almost bounced towards Daniel, and the girl couldn't hold back when she became impulsive; Daniel was expressionless and didn't see him move, but he moved a few meters abruptly and hid far away in an instant .

"Oh, sorry, I'm getting excited again." Nancy quickly covered her mouth and apologized, "I just want to know why vines can be made into shoes..."

"It's okay, it's okay, come and let me teach you..." Fu Youguang, who couldn't help being indifferent to the disappointment of young women, stepped forward quickly, took off the other shoe and disassembled it on the spot.

However, some things cannot be done well without courage; for example, a handicapped man tried to challenge a weaving technique that was too complicated for him.

The ladies who were originally excited, saw that the dismantled stems could no longer be woven back as beautifully as before, and the cold sweat on the count's forehead was getting more and more; they couldn't bear to look away.The main body version of Lord Earl Sieg Frandi burst into tears, and his famous name in the first life is considered to be gone.

Daniel was speechless for a long time, and finally he was willing to step forward to rescue the Earl.Well, there are always things that people are not good at!Fu Youguang leaned on the high back chair, thinking sadly.

Nancy, who has a strong hands-on ability, almost understood it after watching Daniel's demonstration. Her big beautiful eyes widened and she sighed: "I can't believe that the most hated vines of our herdsmen can be used in this way. If It’s good to have known this earlier, and it’s really uncomfortable to wear leather boots in hot summer.” If the tenacious ground vine spreads to the grassland, it will indeed be a disaster for the nomads.

"There are only raw materials that have been misplaced, and there is no truly useless garbage." Feeling tired, Fu Youguang answered casually.

Daniel was silent, and the ladies nodded as if it was a matter of course.As expected of the Earl, he knows a lot.

I have to say that the ladies are much better at weaving.On the second day, the ladies not only wore all kinds of woven straw sandals, but also made different patterns ingeniously.Some are woven like ordinary shoes and cannot be seen at first glance; some are as simple as modern ladies' sandals;As for Nancy, the sixth concubine with the most dexterous hands, after she weaves the vines out of the soles, the uppers of the shoes are wrapped with vines with colorful tapes;

Fu Youguang did not deliberately promote it, but gradually spread it by relying on people's curiosity and imitation psychology.On the one hand, he avoids possible rebellious psychology; on the other hand, he also feels pain from the name of witchcraft on his head.Being called by witchcraft and witchcraft at every turn, he felt that he was completely speechless.It doesn't matter if it spreads within Hydesey's territory, if it spreads out, he will really be ready to run away at any time.There is a hairy difference between fighting the Holy See head-on and adding a rifle to a nuclear bomb.

Although Fu Youguang's thinking was a little bit wrong - on the farm, people's all kinds of miraculous deeds have been unified into magic - but, all the way to the same goal, this kind of rumor came out of Hydesy, and he also had to face it. The predicament of running away.

But now, Fu Youguang was doomed to be disappointed.People were surprised to learn that the vines that can be seen everywhere can be made into shoes, and their first reaction was: As expected of the Earl, the magic is really powerful...

The ground vines that can be seen everywhere can actually be made into shoes, and the process is quite simple (excluding hand damage). This matter quickly radiated, and even spread to the city.

Among the free people in the villages near the farm, there finally appeared the "ideologically progressive" guys that Fu Youguang expected.

The male owner of the family was doing odd jobs on the farm, and when he heard that the lord's "magic technique" could turn vines into shoes, he immediately fell in love.The nearby villagers all know that the all-powerful lord is not only amazing, but also never hides his secrets; if people who do odd jobs on the farm are more active, they can learn a lot.

For example, pickling pickles, I originally thought that this kind of "magic" lord meeting would be kept secret, but unexpectedly the pickling site was set up in an open square.When he was driven by curiosity to watch the fun, he noticed that his lord not only did not drive him away, but instead took the initiative to talk to him; he not only suggested that his own vegetables could be made in the same way, but also explained the details to him.

At that time, the farmer felt that the lord is indeed a god or something, otherwise how could he be so generous?After turning the green vegetables in his own vegetable field into pickles, the farmer went to the farm more diligently.

The ground vine itself is very flexible, and it is not difficult to weave.Fu Youguang also deliberately encouraged the ladies to weave in front of the crowd during the lunch break like a game, which attracted a large crowd to watch and learn.This kind of non-mandatory teaching is obviously better than the compulsory one. After understanding it, many people start to do it without urging.

This freeman was also one of the first to learn, but after weaving his family's straw sandals, he didn't stop. Instead, he continued to weave a whole cart and took it to the town to sell.

The town was farther away than Ump, but this progressive farmer made the right choice.People in the city, even the lowest class, look at them with their nostrils upturned, so they may not be willing to spend money to buy them.But the town is different, the townspeople who are only slightly better off than the peasants in the country rarely have that kind of inexplicable pride, and are willing to spend a few copper coins on a pair of straw sandals that look good.

When the straw sandals first appeared, the residents of Anpu City not only didn't care, but also laughed at "the country bumpkins wear wild rattan shoes, which are just right." Only people are willing to swallow the sense of superiority that comes from nowhere.

After all, the vine sandals have an insurmountable price advantage, and the flexibility of the vine, which was originally regarded as a harmful grass, also makes this kind of sandals very convenient for walking.After more and more people choose vine sandals, the guy who had laughed at this kind of "wild Fujiko shoes" couldn't hold back anymore, and secretly got a pair or two of them with downcast eyebrows.

Compared with the suppression of pickles on the vegetable basket market, the impact of Diman straw sandals on the shoe industry is simply devastating.Generally, those engaged in these people's livelihood industries are petty bourgeois, that is, the so-called middle class.These petty bourgeoisie, who are far away from the upper class, firmly hold the resources of people's livelihood, and they are the main knife holders who directly exploit the people for the second time.The people at the bottom who were severely slaughtered by nobles and officials in the severe exploitation punishment of paying annual tax were often skinned and mutilated by the second knife, and the saved labor income was quite difficult to make ends meet.

Fu Youguang, who has the fine tradition of our party and knows that attacking the low-end market is the only magic weapon to break the existing rules of the market, how could he be soft on these petty bourgeoisie.

The author has something to say: Little Theater

Fu Youguang: Perfection is just people's good expectations about dreams. In fact, incomplete people are the most attractive... What kind of eyes do you have?

Sig: ... Well, I just thought of something.Those pancakes you made at the beginning were very similar to that.But now, what the cafeteria staff have made is comparable to yours... Hehe, it seems that you taught them all?

Fu Youguang: Bastard!You don't hit people in the face!I'm in a hurry with you to turn back to history again! !
