Lord of Rot

Suddenly, Carrot heard someone walking this way. It was completely dark and they didn't see him or his sister.

"Kill the lame man," one of them said, "When the lord cannot control those slaves, we will have a chance!"

It's those new slaves who arrived today!

Carrot was startled, covered his sister's mouth, and slowly lay down.

"me……"

"Do you dare to do it? Kill him quietly and the lord doesn't know. Don't you want to be like that cripple and have something to eat and drink every day without working?"

"miss you!"

Those few people were also afraid that their plans would be discovered, so they only said a few words and left quickly.

There is only one cripple in the entire Porcupine collar who can manage slaves.

To be fair, Carrot didn't like Ake. He was too harsh and made everyone's life very difficult. But when Ake heard that he wanted to give an egg tart to his sister, he still gave him one. The sweetness in his mouth was the same as his sister's. The smiling face made Carrot not intend to sit idly by.

Ake was doing it for the benefit of the lord. Although it was disgusting, he did the right thing.

Carrot whispered to her sister: "Go back first!"

My sister grabbed his hand and wouldn't let go.

"Don't worry," Carrot comforted, "I'll go find you later."

After all, he finally let his sister go back to the women's dormitory first, and Luobo quietly went to where Ake lived.

But as soon as he arrived, he saw the new slaves quietly surrounding Ake's residence.

"not good!"

Carrot ran out, hoping to find helpers to save Ake's life before these slaves with ulterior motives took action.

A raven spread its wings and flew over Carrot's head. After flapping twice hard, the raven flew to the castle.

Thrilling.

In the castle study, Li Qi was reading a book about griffin grass while using his raven to patrol the entire porcupine territory. He felt more and more relaxed now, and his brain did not feel tired when he was distracted.

I closed the book with a snap, almost clueless.

Li Qi picked up the bell on the table and shook it gently.

After a while, the study door opened.

"My lord!" Pitchfork, the footman, stood at the door.

"A cup of boiling water, no need to put tea leaves" Li Qi ordered: "Get another snack."

"Yes"

The manservant obeyed the order and turned around to leave, but heard Li Qi say again: "Wait!"

After hearing the order, the manservant turned to look at him doubtfully and listened carefully to the order.

"Let me go to the slaves first. A new group of slaves arrived today to avoid any trouble."

"Yes!"

Just when Li Qi was thinking about the amount and ratio of griffin grass to avoid turning into red hair, the sound of nervous footsteps came.

"Sir!" It was Grant who spoke.

"Please come in"

The door opened and Grant said nervously: "There's a problem with the slave!"

"What's going on?" Li Qi just saw a slave boy running towards the castle from the raven's eyes, but he didn't know the details.

"The new slave almost killed Ake." Grant knew that the lord admired the lame mad dog.

His daughter was also recruited into the castle as a maid. To be fair, Akeke was very beautiful, more beautiful than ordinary noble ladies, but he still didn't want his lord to bear the stain of having an affair with his slave daughter.

After recent contact, Grant also felt relieved. It was impossible for the baron to have anything happen to the maid. He was overthinking it.

Ake kept the slaves in good order, and he admitted this.

"what happened?"

"On the first day, it shouldn't be a personal feud." Grant thought for a moment and said, "It was a slave boy who yelled. He should know."

"Let Ake investigate on his own." Li Qi is not interested in slave matters. He is a lord. He only needs to choose people who can manage things. They are divided into levels. He does not have that much energy to take care of everyone.

However, this is basically the case for small lords in this world. If someone loses a piece of bread, someone will be scolded. It is trivial and more troublesome than the neighborhood committee.

"Wait a minute," he added, "let Akbe kill people and arrange for those people to knock stones. It's time for the castle to be repaired."

Finally, he added: "No work points will be given."

"Yes!" Grant took the order and retreated.

Li Qi rubbed his head, being a lord is not easy.

The valet Pitchfork brought hot water and biscuits, and then left quietly, trying not to make a sound when closing the door.

dawn.

Li Qi picked up the Grass of Life that he had prepared earlier, and as soon as he walked to the back kitchen to look for a wine barrel, he saw Colan leaning against the wall in the distance, talking and laughing into the oak basin.

The little cook blushed and wanted to leave but didn't dare.

"Ahem" Li Qi cleared his throat.

"Sir!" Kelan Fusak was startled, and his expression changed slightly.

Oak Basin lowered his head and left quickly.

Li Qi said: "Kelan, my castle is free to love, but I don't want you to have fun casually. Every woman should be respected."

Coran immediately said: "No, no, sir, I was just chatting with Miss Oak Basin about yesterday's delicious burger."

He seemed to be trying to get rid of the relationship. Even without a title, the son of a knight would not have a relationship with a little cook, not even in name.

"You can talk to me," Li Qi said, "I should have created the burger in this world."

Kelan knew that he had not made a good impression in front of Li Qi, so he nodded awkwardly and left quickly.

After handing the grass of life to the busy wine barrel, Reach put on his clothes and went out. The first water mill in Porcupine Territory was officially completed. Today, the grain stored in the castle will be transported there and ground into powder.

As for Coran Fusak, he said he was loyal. He probably saw that the Porcupine Territory was just starting out and was planning to get a noble title. Li Qi didn't know what other lords would do, but he himself looked down on such people. Porcupine collar, ability is more important than bloodline.

What a idiot, the only option is to get out.

Next to the river, there is a water mill.

The water pushed the wheel of the waterwheel to rotate, and the sound of gurgling and grinding could be heard far away.

The civilians looked at the water mill. No one knew what it was. They only knew that grain was carried in and flour was carried out.

"Magic?" After a few glances, a civilian ran back and shouted: "That's magic! You can grind flour without anyone, just pour the wheat in, and then the other end will burst..."

The water mill has been built for a while, and the target is also large. The civilians have long been eager to know what it is, and at this time they are using their own thinking to speculate on its working principle.

Nothing more than magic, magic, miracles, magic.

And far away from the water mill, Li Qi was riding on a horse.

Grant couldn't help but ask: "Sir, do you plan to let civilians also use the magical water mill?"

This is the lord's property and should not be used by commoners.

"Of course" Li Qi nodded: "They can choose to come to the water mill for processing. We only charge part of the grain as compensation, or we can charge money."

"If we collect money and food, I'm afraid..." Grant shook his head. He was not optimistic about the lord's idea. These civilians would rather work more than spend a bronze star.

"Don't worry, they will," Li Qi said. "We will continue to recruit workers to see if they are willing to grind noodles at home without earning a bronze star, or spend a small price to free up their time to earn more."

Consumption awareness must be cultivated, starting with food exchange.

If no one spends money, who will the lord turn to to make money?

Soon, people who had no time to work in the security team chose to send their own grain to the mill for processing, which easily saved a lot of effort and made more money during this time. Many people were attracted by this time. Deliver grain to the water mill.

The water mill is very useful and the lord is magical.
