Traitor Summoning System [Infrastructure]

After Leonard returned to Little Thorn Castle, he first wrote a batch of invitation cards, inviting all kinds of people to come to Little Thorn Castle to celebrate the Harvest Festival together.

Leonard didn't save much face for Rhett V this year. He invited the patriarchs of the major families, as well as the dean of the bachelor's college, to Little Thorn Castle to participate in the Harvest Festival.

For some people, this is actually a bit like a Hongmen banquet.

This is also a means for Leonard to test his authority.

Of course, he will organize this harvest festival well. All kinds of ingredients from all over the continent, skilled bards, and all kinds of food and wine will be piled up, and they will get excellent enjoyment.

The first person to arrive was the dean of the Bachelor College. Leonard greeted him personally, then took his hand and walked into the room, saying: "The Bachelor College brings together the best people from the continent. Since this year, I have deprived many of them of their titles. What those people have done has stained their lineage, and they are no longer noble. The place they left needs to be taken by someone who is truly noble."

What Leonard has done this year has been seen by various forces.

Traditional nobles may protest Leonard's behavior, after all, it hurts the interests of traditional nobles.But the students of the bachelor college welcomed this very much. Some of them were commoners, and some were the second sons of nobles who could not inherit their father's title. Leonard gave them hope of promotion.

So the dean of the bachelor's college is quite friendly to Leonard.

The dean told Leonard about the various talents in the academy and made various recommendations.Maester Rutherford wrote down one by one by Leonard's side, and then Leonard asked Maester Rutherford to accompany the dean, and he went to work on other things first.

When he came back, he saw Bachelor Rutherford sorting out the documents happily.

"What's the matter, so happy." Leonard asked.

"It's the dean of the college!" said Bachelor Rutherford. "To me, he was an unattainable figure in the past, but now he has a good relationship with me and even compliments me."

Leonard said, "He's very good at getting along with people, and I feel comfortable chatting with him."

Bachelor Rutherford shook his head: "When I was a student, I only saw him a few times in the college. He was as cold as ice at that time, which is completely different from now. He is very eloquent, but he is a good scorer. Now I have the honor of the lord Only then did I know that the dean still has such a side."

"I see." Leonard nodded, "But it's understandable."

"Yes." Bachelor Rutherford nodded, and then he couldn't help showing a smug look: "I was at the bottom of the academy, and they reprimanded some of my whimsical ideas, scorned and bullied me, and later graduated from the bachelor's college because I was born I'm low, so the nobles come and go when they call me. But everything is completely different after following the lord. Now even Bachelor Rhett will talk to me nicely. For comparison, It really made me feel ecstatic."

"Haha." Leonard smiled, "I'm about the same. Work hard, bachelor, maybe your status will be even more noble in the future."

"My most noble status is that I am the person next to the lord." Bachelor Rutherford said.

Leonard laughed again, "Compared to the dean, you are quite good at talking."

"From the heart," Maester Rutherford said.

……

In previous Harvest Festivals, the big guys were most interested in the martial arts tournament.

In the current martial arts competition, everyone always feels that the name is not worthy of the name when Lu Bu does not leave the stage. Especially during the Harvest Festival last year, Lu Bu shot the champion of the martial arts competition away in two strokes. This incident was spread to the whole continent by bards .Lu Bu's personal reputation has further improved.

Since then, the light of the martial arts competition seems to have dimmed a bit.

The knights respected and hated Lu Bu at the same time.

And now the Harvest Festival, what everyone is most interested in is the Harvest Festival feast.

Leonard announced the menu of the main banquet a few days ago:

Pan-fried salmon in maple syrup, roasted turkey in maple leaves, deep-sea lobster, cod steak, braised pork, rabbit wrapped in silk, Buddha jumping over the wall, butter hot pot...

The names of these dishes are mouth watering.

There were 500 participants in the main banquet, and they were the outstanding cadres and labor models of this year in all the territories under the command of Little Thorn Castle.This is considered an employee benefit Leonard gave them.

With the population of the territory skyrocketing day by day, it is of course impossible for Leonard to throw a free banquet like he did at the beginning.

In addition to these main banquets, Leonard also organized his own flowing water banquets in various towns. The dishes there are definitely not as high-quality as the main banquets, and entrance fees are required.However, it is also considered excellent and affordable, and has won unanimous praise from everyone.

He Shen from Broken Star City was in charge of organizing the entire Harvest Festival, while Leonard reviewed the ingredients in the banquet one by one and carefully supervised the process of each big dish.

After finishing the work at hand this day, Leonard took his second brother Vito, who came to participate in the Harvest Festival, to go fishing by the sea.

Vito has no interest in fishing, mainly because he can't catch it.

Vito's wife Sitney is a fishing genius. Although she can't say one after another, she can always catch one in time when patience starts to be tested.

She caught three cod, one bass and two eels.

Seeing that Sitney was having fun, Vito continued fishing.

The sun is setting, and the sky is full of red clouds in the west.

Leonard and Vito lay on the deck chairs, while Sitney went to admire the fish he had caught.

"There is a very peaceful feeling." Vito said.

"The charm of the sea." Leonard said.

The sea breeze blows their hair, and their clothes are also blown by the wind.

"But in winter, the sea will be very cold." Vito said.

"So I started building more comfortable boats," Leonard said.

"As comfortable as your caravan?" Vito asked.

"Yes," Leonard said, "and also to make the fishermen comfortable, they nearly froze to death last winter."

"That's right." Vito nodded.

They rode the sea breeze back to the land, and then Leonard took Vito to see the glass greenhouse of Little Thorn Castle.

"Using glass—it's such a luxury!" Sitney was amazed.

"Little Thorn Fort's technology is very advanced, and the cost of glass is actually very low," Leonard explained.

"Oh..." Vito said thoughtfully, "I remember you sold me a lot of glass products."

"Hey, let's talk about the glass greenhouse." Leonard quickly changed the subject.

It is the end of autumn at this time, and the glass greenhouse has already begun to prepare for a new round of planting.

The land in the greenhouse has been plowed several times and is now being pressed.

The width of the ridge is about 1.2 meters. This is a relatively common ridge, and most vegetables can be planted on this wide ridge.

Slaves walked around the glass shed with tools that Vito hadn't seen before.

"You just said that the temperature here is very high, and vegetables can be grown in winter?" Vito asked.

"Yes." Leonard nodded, "In two years, when I complete the first round of agricultural reform, I will be able to implement glass greenhouses across the continent, and the productivity will probably increase by then."

"Is it rolling out across the continent?" Sitney asked curiously, "Is it going to sell vegetables in winter?"

"Not all of them." Leonard said, "Let's try to let everyone eat vegetables and fruits all year round."

"Everyone," Vito said.

"Yes, everyone, including slaves," Leonard said.

This isn't the first time Vito has heard some outrageous things from Leonard.

Along the way they encountered many slaves who bowed to Leonard like freemen.They looked at Leonard with admiration.They are all strong and strong, and it seems that none of them are sick or hungry.

Vito was envious when he saw it, and wanted to buy a batch back with Leonard.

But hearing Leonard's words, Vito realized that it was impossible for Leonard to sell his slave.He didn't treat slaves as slaves at all.

At the end of the day's trip, everyone returned to Little Thorn Fort for dinner.

In the past few days, the nobles have arrived one after another, so the daily dinner is quite sumptuous.

Today's garlic tenderloin was a favorite of Vito's.

Pork tenderloin itself is very tender, nutritious and delicious.Slowly fry the tender tenderloin with garlic sprouts and soy sauce to create a delicious burnt aroma, let the garlic soak into the meat slices, keep the meat juicy while mixing with the garlic, every texture on the meat slices is full of deliciousness.

The soy sauce used is self-brewed, which is naturally delicious, rich in bean flavor, and the color is also very beautiful.

The tender tenderloin itself can easily absorb the taste of the matching ingredients and seasonings, and Leonard's seasoning is first-class, so the effect of the combination is naturally excellent.

This garlic tenderloin looks golden and shiny on the surface. The fragrant rice balances this slightly oily dish. The charming garlic and meat aromas are delicious when eaten with rice.

In addition, the fish Sitney caught today was also made into a feast. Sitney happily showed off at the table that it was what he got today. After tasting the fish, everyone complimented Sitney one after another.

These wild sea fish are delicious after simple cooking. They are fresh and fragrant, and everyone is full of praise.

Sitney showed a satisfied smile, and finally raised his glass and said: "Before I came to Little Thorn Castle, I never knew that some food could be so delicious. When I went fishing today, I felt like I came to a brand new world. Respect Our Lord of Swords and Thorns, our Lord Hand, thank him for bringing us a new world."

Let's raise our glasses together.
