The Rhapsody of Mounted Blade Players

Chapter 55 Butler Potts was expelled

Potts obviously knew this, so after hearing that the other party was going to expel him from the town of Odasan, he immediately begged Sol in tears, even if he could stay here as a slave. After all, even though he is quite old, he still doesn’t want to die like this!

It's a pity that Thor couldn't give this kind of moth a chance to stay by his side. He waved his hand and motioned for his men to drag Potts down and expel him from the town.

At the same time, Ye Tianlong was recruiting craftsmen and civil servants in the town of Odasang. Since the deserted beach has officially become his territory, Ye Tianlong can naturally build it openly. If you want to carry out construction, you need manpower. Ye Tianlong thought that maybe the people of Odasang Town could get extra money and make their living standards better, so he built the project on the spot in Odasang Town. The town recruited craftsmen and peasants.

Because Ye Tianlong was a knight personally conferred by Baron Sol, no one in the town dared to stop him from recruiting people.

The thing that represents Ye Tianlong's identity as a knight is also very simple. It is just a copper badge with the family crest of Baron Sol engraved on it, two double-edged battle axes crossed together.

I have to say that this family crest is really a perfect match for Sol's warlike character.

Just when Ye Tianlong had recruited more than a dozen craftsmen and peasants, he happened to see the Potts housekeeper being dragged out of the castle by two soldiers and finally thrown out of the town.

Ye Tianlong was a little surprised when he saw this scene, thinking that this retribution must have come too soon! He originally wanted to take care of this old guy himself! But he didn't expect Baron Sol to take action faster than him.

After recruiting twenty craftsmen and two hundred civilians, Ye Tianlong and several of his team members finally escorted this large group of people to their camp.

Since the relatively young and strong young people in Odasan Town have been taken to the military camp for training by Baron Sol, who is crazy about expanding the army, the civilian men Ye Tianlong recruited this time are completely a bunch of crooked melons. Jujube, there are even a lot of women inside.

That is because Ye Tianlong actually recruited people with the purpose of improving the lives of the people in Odasan. Otherwise, a normal lord would never waste his money and food by recruiting these crooked people.

Most of the civilian husbands recruited by Ye Tianlong also knew this well, and they couldn't help but feel lucky to have met such a good person.

And Ye Tianlong also found an acquaintance among the civilian husbands who were recruited, that is, the bankrupt farmer he had inadvertently rescued when he first came to the town of Odasan.

At that time, the other party's house was almost emptied out by the Potts housekeeper. Ye Tianlong really couldn't stand it, so he left a bag of flour and a small bag of salt for the bankrupt farmer. Unexpectedly, the other party happened to be recruited by him this time.

After the two chatted with each other for a few words, Ye Tianlong learned that the honest-looking farmer was named Judy. After the other party learned that Ye Tianlong had obtained the knighthood and had his own fiefdom, he actually offered to Want to become Ye Tianlong's leader.

Ye Tianlong did not agree to this on the spot, but planned to take time to ask Baron Saul later. Otherwise, the other party would regard him as a poacher, and a conflict would be bad.

Even though he has now become a knight under Thor, both parties actually know very well that Ye Tianlong actually used the name of this knight to ensure the ownership of the territory. In fact, he does not want to be like the other three knights at all. Loyal to Baron Saul. The trust between knights is fragile.

Therefore, Ye Tianlong naturally had to be careful when doing things, so as not to make Baron Sol become hostile to him and take back the knighthood and fiefdom.

After a short journey of more than [-] miles, Ye Tianlong took this group of peasants and arrived at the place after five o'clock in the evening. This was mainly because most of these peasants and craftsmen were in poor health, and they were all sallow and thin. This was apparently caused by chronic hunger.

Ye Tianlong felt that if these poor people with such a weak body were allowed to directly start work to help him build his territory, most people would be exhausted in a few days.

So Ye Tianlong planned to let these people rest for a day and start work after they calmed down a bit. He could also take advantage of this time to return to the real world and purchase enough building materials.

Because in this world of riding and slashing, a lot of wild monsters will spawn at every turn, killing them endlessly, so Ye Tianlong is preparing to make his territory stronger, so that he can better attract refugees to his territory in the future. Settled in the territory.

In order to give the residents a sufficient sense of security, Ye Tianlong felt that he had to at least build a stone wall instead of just building an earth wall like Odasan Town.

After all, Ye Tianlong is not short of money, so naturally he doesn't need to choose the kind of earthen wall that saves money.

Speaking of which, this kind of earth wall is very common in small towns like Odasan or small villages. It is much easier to build than a stone wall. It only requires digging out a pile of broken soil. The stone was compacted hard, and then two rows of thick and strong logs were reinforced on the trees on both sides of the wall. An earth wall was completed.

As for the defensive power of this earth wall! It can only be said that it is makeshift. If the enemy does not have any professional siege equipment, it can still be used as a top. If the enemy has a trebuchet or something, it will be easily smashed, and this kind of earth wall is generally high. It is not high. The enemy only needs to set up a wooden ladder under the wall to easily climb the city wall, which is very disadvantageous for defense.

When Ye Tianlong was playing horseback and slashing in the past, his favorite thing to fight was a small town with only a low earth wall. As long as he and a few NPCs wearing heavy armor took the lead, they could quickly capture the enemy on the wall. Seize a large piece of territory, and then wait until a large number of subsequent reinforcements successfully scale the city wall, and then you can easily take down the entire earth wall.

And it's not that small lords like Thor don't know that earth walls have poor defense, but they really don't have the manpower and material resources to build tall stone walls. After all, in this world that is still in the middle ages, there is no cement, and there is no such thing as cement. There is no brick factory that can continuously produce bricks as raw materials for building city walls. If you want to build a stone wall, you must send a large number of people to dig out rocks in the mountains. This is undoubtedly a very hard and dangerous job. If you are not careful, you will be killed and injured by falling boulders.

After finally digging out suitable stones, they had to be transported back to the town piece by piece. The amount of money, food and manpower consumed during this period was unbelievable. How could a poor nobleman like Thor play this game? It’s affordable!

Seeing that it was getting late, Ye Tianlong went back to the real world first and bought a lot of rice, flour and various meats and vegetables as food for the craftsmen and peasants for the next period of time.

After that, he discussed with his team members what building materials should be purchased and how big the city in this territory should be.

The rich second generation Zhou Jiale said that since it is going to be built, it should be built as large as possible so that the city will look spacious by then, unlike the small town of Odasang, where there are only a few thousand residents and there is not enough space. Yes, the stench from the slums can be smelled in the baron's castle.

Luo Chenguang said that the reason why Odasan town is so messy is mainly due to planning issues, so they have to learn this lesson when building the territory. It is best to plan in advance, such as drainage pipes and sewage pipes. Everything must be clearly drawn on the drawings, and then let the civilians and craftsmen repair it according to the instructions.

In the end, Ye Tianlong discussed with everyone for more than an hour before the discussion was finally completed, and the final result of the discussion was to build a city with a length and width of about [-] meters. Such a large area is enough to cover all the yellow waxite mines. It's all included.

It happened that dinner was ready at this time, so Ye Tianlong went over to have a meal. As for Zhou Jiale and others, they all went offline to find food on their own. After all, they didn't like eating from such a big pot.

As for the big pot rice that Zhou Jiale and others disliked, the craftsmen and peasants who came from Oudasan Town ate it with gusto. Today the staple food was boiled rice, and the dishes were braised pork, fried vegetables and mushrooms, and winter melon soup.

Although these craftsmen and civilians had never eaten rice before, because the dishes were delicious enough, they all ate happily, especially Judy, who had completely made up her mind to switch to Ye Tianlong. After all, Baron Sol collected taxes so harshly that if their family continued to stay there, they would starve to death sooner or later, or be beaten to death by soldiers because they could not pay taxes. In contrast, it is more comfortable to live under Ye Tianlong, a kind-hearted lord who treats people well.

Ye Tianlong didn't know what Judy was thinking. After dinner, he returned to the real world and prepared to order various building materials and construction tools.

But before he could set out, Zuo Yu called and told him that the factory that originally belonged to Zhang Dana had completely completed the transfer procedures, and now the factory belonged to him completely.

Ye Tianlong was also very happy when he heard the news. After all, Baron Saul had just ordered fifty sets of heavy-duty iron pagoda armor from him. Murong Jie had to build all these sets of armor by himself, so he would be exhausted! And it may not be possible to build it within a month.

And as soon as the factory starts operating, it will not be a difficult task for dozens of workers to work together to build fifty sets of armor.

So Ye Tianlong immediately called Murong Jie, and the two of them went to the factory together and began to inspect it to see what areas needed to be modified.

Murong Jie is an expert in this area, so Ye Tianlong didn't say much during the whole process. He just listened to Murong Jie's words and then watched the construction team leader specially hired by him record everything in detail.

After spending more than two hours inspecting the factory, Ye Tianlong finally spoke: "Brother Jie, the materials used to make armor for Baron Saul must not be too good! Otherwise, we will fall out with him later and want to It’s a bit difficult to kill him!”

"Don't worry! I know for sure that I won't use any high-quality steel, so I'll just give him some armor made of ordinary stainless steel to fool him!"

"As long as you understand!" When Ye Tianlong saw this, he also understood that Murong Jie had already understood what he meant, so he didn't waste any more words.
