Traitor Summoning System [Infrastructure]

Chapter 143 Incident Investigation · Horse Raising · Maple Syrup...

Bandits invaded several small towns at the same time, and nothing happened.

If it was changed to another territory, the civilians would probably be out of luck.

Of course, the lord will feel indifferent. In the eyes of many lords, civilians are not even as important as slaves.

Civilians cannot be disposed of at will, and may slip away from the territory, which is really annoying.Although there are lords who want to deal with civilians casually, bachelors will always jump out to stop them.

Here we should focus on commending the bachelor.

Bachelors are all trained from the mainland's bachelor colleges, and it has become a customary practice for each lord to be assigned a bachelor.Just like when Leonard went to Little Thorn Castle, he had almost nothing, and he was assigned a Bachelor Rutherford.

Maybe the lord did a lot of evil, but generally speaking, the bachelors who graduated from the bachelor college had a basic bottom line. To some extent, the bachelor and the lord formed a check and balance relationship.Of course, the lord still occupies an almost absolute dominance.

Both Tianye Town and Huxin Town sent prisoners. After giving special rewards to the two sheriffs there, Leonard began to investigate the bandit invasion.

Torturing prisoners is a very simple matter. There are so many treacherous officials here in Leonard, among other things, most of them are very proficient in how to pry someone's mouth open.So no physical punishment was used, and the captive confessed everything.

It was Philip Blake who planned the operation.

Maester Rutherford was a little nervous: "My lord! He, he is still staring at us!"

"He really has a crush on me." Leonard was also a little surprised, "It seems that I am quite attractive."

"The lord doesn't need to use him to verify his charm." Lu Bu said with some dissatisfaction, "Isn't it enough to have us by your side?"

"Ahaha, ahaha, enough is enough," Leonard said.

Wang Jixian said happily: "So that's the case, then Lord Lord, do you need me to refine the Black Tiger Pill for you?"

Leonard: "Pfft, no, it sounds like something suspicious..."

Maester Rutherford over there said: "My lord! General Lu Bu! Philip Blake is still staring at us!"

Leonard said: "Isn't this a matter of course? You should have expected this step if you didn't catch him."

Maester Rutherford became even more nervous, "Someone has been staring at us from the dark, this feeling..."

As a result, Leonard and Wang Jixian discussed the matter of the veterinarian.

Bachelor Rutherford was in despair: "My lord!"

"Ah!" Leonard: "What's the matter!"

Maester Rutherford struggled and said, "That's right, about Philip..."

"What's wrong with him!" Leonard asked.

"He has been secretly watching our territory, trying to make trouble. Doesn't the lord think it is very, very dangerous for someone who is secretly watching us..." Bachelor Rutherford asked.

"How should I put it..." Leonard said, "As my status continues to rise, this is an inevitable thing. Countless eyes are staring at me, trying to pull me down, isn't it a matter of course? ?Compared to everyone else, Philip is not even the slightest bit competitive, after all he has nothing.”

Maester Rutherford was so convinced.

After a few seconds, he realized again: "That's not the point! Your lord! The problem is that Philip Black is very smart! Although he doesn't have much strength, he is very smart. He can find some loopholes to attack us... "

"Look, aren't you talking about the advantages of his existence?" Leonard said.

"The... advantages of his existence?" Maester Rutherford froze for a moment.

"Yeah." Leonard continued, "He is very smart, he can find loopholes in management, and tries to destroy us through these loopholes, but because he doesn't have much power at hand, he can't do it, at most it's just some small damage. This will allow me to discover the problems in our territory, and then I can improve them. Wouldn't it be bad if these loopholes were discovered by a more powerful enemy?"

Maester Rutherford was dumbfounded: "The lord, you, you mean..."

"I can't wait for him to continue to do this kind of thing, so that I don't have to investigate myself, he just went out of his way to help me investigate." Leonard said with a smile.

Maester Rutherford: ...

This is too, too, too oppressive of the enemy, right? !

Leonard rubbed his chin, "Last time, I just praised the security team, and then added night patrols, it's best for every household to call the police in time... Well, if you install a bell at the door, you can remotely ring it at home , then it will have the function of allowing the night watch team to discover it immediately."

Maester Rutherford immediately realized the benefits of this: "Then it will be safe."

"Yes, it just so happened to find some work for the security team." Leonard said, "Ah, that's how I improved the security aspect. I hope Philip can find some loopholes to help me improve."

Maester Rutherford: "..."

That sounds too miserable.

Phillip Toolman Stone Hammer.

After figuring this out, Bachelor Rutherford happily went to draft new security regulations.

The lord often has some inspiration to say something, and then he doesn't care about it. Maester Rutherford immediately writes down these words and writes them into specific articles or regulations, and then shows them to the lord for review.

Maester Rutherford has always done this well.

Even if the ability is not good, his attitude is there.

In fact, what Bachelor Rutherford didn't know was that, in terms of real talent and learning, he is now stronger than many bachelors in the mainland.

Leonard and Wang Jixian discussed the matter of veterinary medicine, and Leonard wanted to know if Wang Jixian could work as a veterinarian part-time.

Wang Jixian told Leonard that man has the whole nature of heaven and earth, and beasts have the partiality of heaven and earth.That is to say, animals get more earth qi and less weather.Therefore, on the basis of the theory of human medicine, taking this layer into account, the prescription can be directly transformed into a prescription for treating diseases of animals.

Leonard understood. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, a doctor who understands yin and yang, five elements, and the qi of heaven and earth will definitely treat animals.

Then Wang Jixian has an additional layer of heavy responsibility.

Leonard realized that there was not enough talent under his command, so he thought about summoning, but found that as the number of treacherous ministers increased, the shortage of talents increased instead of decreasing.

To manage a territory, there are many places to pay attention to.

After handing over all the veterinary tasks to Wang Jixian, Leonard slipped back to his room for a lunch break.

Draw a prize to relax before lunch break.

[Congratulations to the host, you have drawn a medium-sized camellia oleifera tree.

Camellia oil tree is a unique economic tree species in my country, with a history of 2000 years of cultivation.Camellia oleifera seeds can be extracted for oil, which can be used for food, medicine and industry. 】

The system also gave a brief introduction to Camellia oleifera.

Upon hearing that it lasted for 2000 years, Leonard immediately jumped up from the bed, first placed the camellia oil forest on the edge of the Darkmoon Forest, and then ran to find Cai Lun.

...Speaking of which, the Darkmoon Forest is really thriving.

Cai Lun is also preparing for a lunch break, and he will lie down directly in the workshop for a while at noon every day.

Leonard learned about the usefulness of tea tree oil from Cai Lun, and also knew that Cai Lun would artificially cultivate camellia oleifera trees.

Camellia oleifera trees can improve the soil. Leonard has heard that camellia oleifera itself is anti-pollution, and planting camellia oleifera forests can have certain ecological benefits—Leonard learned about it when he ate tea oil before.

The main function of camellia seed is to extract oil. The oil content of camellia seed is very high. The camellia oil extracted from it is familiar to Leonard. It can be eaten, made into soap, and has various uses.

It seems that the camellia oleifera will be promoted on a large scale in the coming year!Leonard thought.

Speaking of camellia oil, there is a legend that Zhu Yuanzhang was chased to the Camellia oleifera forest and rescued by an old camellia oil farmer, so he became attached to camellia oil. Since then, Jiangxi camellia oil has become the oil used for the "imperial palace meal".Speaking of which, this is another item of Zhu Yuanzhang's desperation to discover delicious food.

Then in winter, you can start preparing for the tea oil workshop, and various oil extraction workshops should also be put on the agenda.

Leonard is very satisfied with this.

Now that there are more and more people in the territory, as the lord, he should find good jobs for these people.

……

field town.

Of all the animals bred in captivity, the horse is the highest.

In Leonard's territory, there are three classes of horses. One is military horses, that is, war horses; the second is field horses, horses used for hunting;Raw horses are usually used to pull carts on Leonard's territory, and most of the buses are of this type.

In addition, there is also a special kind of Taoist horse, which is used to deliver news at post stations and is good at long-distance running. This is also an important part of the horses in the territory.

Horses are very important to a country.

"There is nothing like a dragon in the sky, and nothing like a horse in the ground. Horses are the foundation of armored soldiers and the great use of the country." General Fubo Ma Yuan said.

The cost of raising horses is very high. The digestive system of horses is not good, it is quite fragile, and they can't chew cud like cows, so many horses are particular about raising horses.Some people say that raising horses in ancient times is the same as raising cars in modern times, but if they correspond, it is much more expensive than raising cars in ancient times.

"Actually, you can raise a monkey in a stable," He Shen said at the time.

Leonard: "Pfft." I always feel that He Shen has something to say.

"There is a saying in "Qi Min Yao Shu" that macaques are often tied to horse farms, so that the horses will not be afraid of evil and eliminate all diseases." He Shen said.

"Is this how Monkey King's Bi Mawen came from? The Jade Emperor is quite particular." Leonard muttered.

Of course, it is not possible to really raise monkeys in the stables. Leonard forgot about the monkeys after laughing, but studied horse raising with Cai Lun and Wang Jixian.

Stable staff are among the highest paid in all farming industries, but they are also the most demanding.

The combination of roughage and concentrated feed is the same as other livestock.The staff handles the feed early in the morning, and then feeds them one by one.After eating and drinking, let the horse digest for a while, usually about an hour, and then start to walk the horse. At this time, the horse should not be walked too fast, mainly to let the horse digest.

After walking the horse back, it is time to groom the horse.

This step is very careful, they have to wash off all the mosquitoes on the horse.

Usually at this time, Wang Jixian would bring his disciples over to look at the horses and check for any problems.

After completing these, the war horse was taken out of the stable, and entered the training time with the soldiers in the morning.

At this time, the grooms couldn't be idle, they took the opportunity to clean the stables to make them clean, and at the same time began to prepare the feed for noon.

The training time in the morning was not long, and after a short break at noon, the training in the afternoon began. During this time, the grooms could take a rest, because when the sun went down, the feed for the horses was fed by their soldiers themselves.

If it is summer, the horses should be hung with mugwort grass ropes at night to repel mosquitoes. If it is winter, the groomers are of course concerned about the temperature of the stables.

Day after day, it seems boring on the surface, and compared to workers in other farming industries, it is very tiring.

But the grooms are very proud.

This pride comes not only from their high salaries, but also from the heavy responsibilities they shoulder.

The idea that Leonard instilled in everyone in the territory is: your work is important, your work is irreplaceable, and the work of others is also important, so you must respect the work of others.

Being able to do a worthwhile job and earn enough compensation is already a very exciting thing in itself.

Coupled with the lord's affirmation of their work, their pride can be imagined.

This pride has turned into motivation, making them work harder and put more effort into their work.

The grooms were bustling about in the stables, and one of them called out, "Mr. Stamford is here."

"Good day, Mr. Stanford." Another groom who was cutting hay greeted the visitor.

"Good day, everyone." It was Leopold Stanford, the civilian from Alpine Town, who entered, and now he had a great transformation.

"Mr. Stanford, are you alone today?" asked the stable leader.

"Yes, I'm the only one. Scholar Wang Jixian said that I can already understand common problems, so I'm the only one here." Leopold said this with pride and pride.

"Mr. Stanford is really amazing." The grooms felt sincerely.

Leopold nodded and replied sincerely, "Thank you."

Leopold from Alpine Town has become a veterinary apprentice, and his salary has changed from copper coins to silver coins. After he becomes a formal veterinarian, his salary will become gold coins.

Superficially brilliant, but he paid a lot.

In addition to work every day, I have to study hard to read and remember many things.It was simply too painful for a former farmer.

But he thought about how he felt when he made up his mind, and he persisted.

I don't want to live an ordinary life, I want to make a lot of money, and I want to contribute to the territory.

Fortunately, he had figured out a lot of things by himself and had some experience, so he could barely meet Wang Jixian's request.

But now, the people around him looked at him with respect.

He actually had to be called 'Sir' one day.

"Knowledge is the primary productive force." Everyone in the territory is chanting this sentence.

It is said that this is the mantra of the lord, and everyone in the territory is saying this.

And now Leopold also deeply understood the meaning of this sentence.

Two months ago.

After Leopold and the team leader of the sheep pen said that he would treat the livestock, the team leader reported all the way up, and two days later, he was summoned by the lord.

He was looking forward to it very much, but at the same time he was uneasy.

He is full of fear of the identity of 'lord'. In his past days, all the lords brought him was exploitation and disaster.

Although he knew that Leonard was a good lord, he anxiously waited in the Great Hall of Little Thorn Castle with other people who had similar experiences.

After the lord appeared, Wang Jixian immediately bowed deeply with the others, "My lord."

"Sit down." The lord looked very accommodating.

A slave served them hot tea.

One of the slaves suddenly called out, "Leopold, it's you!"

Leopold was stunned for a moment, then surprised: "Gejill!"

The lord said, "You guys know each other."

Gejier was Leopold's former neighbor. He was captured by the lord at the time because he stole firewood from the forest to make a fire, and then sold it to Little Thorn Castle.

I didn't expect him to serve the master in the castle, and I don't know how he is doing.Leopold thought.

"Yes, my lord." Gujir said, "Leopold is my former neighbor, he is a very good man!"

"Good man? You are a slave, how can you have free neighbors?" asked the lord.

"Because I didn't have any firewood to burn in winter, I went to the forest to collect firewood." Gajeel said, "Oh, many people I knew at that time became slaves."

Leopold was very surprised, why did Gejir dare to talk to the lord like this now that he was a slave?

He was a little worried about Ge Jier, worried that Ge Jier would offend the lord.

"It turned out to be the case, but I was negligent." The lord said, "It is indeed something that those guys can do to capture a group of free people in order to sell me slaves. Sooner or later, they will be dealt with one by one." He said He said lightly, and then said: "Then you go back and take a look, count the slaves who used to be free people, and cancel their status as slaves."

Ge Jier nodded: "Okay, my lord. But I don't want to be a freeman, I want to stay with you as a slave, okay?"

"Okay." The lord said.

Leopold was overwhelmed with surprise.

What is Gajeel talking about?He wants to remain a slave?The lord is so merciful to pardon them as free citizens, yet he still wants to be a slave? !That's a slave!

Although, although I don't know how the lord's slaves are treated, I always feel...

The lord continued: "You said that he is very good, specifically?"

Ge Jier replied: "He is very diligent and raises very good animals, so he has more money than us. In the past, when I couldn't afford firewood in the winter, he would give me some firewood. In the next spring, he would ask me to help out. Yes. Well, he's really good, and I might be dead if it wasn't for him."

"So that's it, that's really good." The lord nodded, and then said to the bachelor next to him, "Jixian, are you interested in taking an apprentice?"

"Of course, my lord," said the bachelor.

Leopold's heart beat faster.

Bringing apprentices, could it be...

This is similar to the so-called ascending to the sky in one step.

Leopold was actually a little upset when he gave his neighbor firewood, but he couldn't bear to see the other person really freeze to death, so he gave him the minimum firewood, and he didn't expect to receive such a return.

Others were not as lucky as Leopold, they were simply led by Wang Jixian, and they could not claim to be Wang Jixian's disciples.

……

Today, Leonard ran around from morning to night, went to see the racecourse in the morning, went to the Darkmoon Forest in the afternoon to see the Camellia oleifera forest that had just been drawn out, and had dinner in Maple Sugar Town in the evening.

Maple Sugar Town is a small town next to the sugar maple trees in Darkmoon Forest, where sugar refining workers and their families live.

In terms of size, it should be the smallest town, but it is one of the most beautiful towns under Leonard's command.

If you come here in spring and summer, you will see bright flowers everywhere in Maple Sugar Town. The houses here are neatly arranged, all with red roofs and white walls, and they look very charming.

Dinner was BBQ.

It is very comfortable to eat barbecue in winter, with barbecue, wild mushrooms, matsutake, and grilled prawns.

This barbecue used a newly made barbecue table, which is similar to a modern barbecue table.Put the thinly sliced ​​roast meat on it, and watch the roast meat change color little by little, and the edges are slightly rolled up due to the high temperature.The surface of the barbecue gradually turned burnt yellow, and the golden red sauce was brushed on it. The aroma of the sauce mixed with the aroma of the barbecue, and the aroma was overflowing, arousing Leonard's gluttonous appetite.

The heat of the charcoal fire forced out the aroma of the ingredients, and the barbecue and mushrooms were turned over with chopsticks, and the back was even more attractive golden yellow.

Put a piece of barbecued meat with chopsticks into your mouth, the aroma explodes, and the taste is very good. The charred outside and tender inside bring out the taste of the barbecued meat. After eating, a strong sense of hunger also emerges.

Apply some chili peppers in the winter, the saliva will be stimulated a lot, and the forehead will sweat and feel refreshed.

The wind and snow are howling outside, and this is probably the last wind and snow this winter.

Leonard happily ate barbecue in the warm house.

There is no heating here, so the traditional fireplace is still used, which makes the mood better.
