Succubus' Manor

At the beginning, when burning charcoal, it often failed. Burning this thing requires experience. When to close the kiln and when to open the kiln, there are many kilns. It may take several kilns to burn out successfully. But because of this, the tauren found The most suitable wood for burning charcoal.

It is a kind of tree that grows deep in the woods. This kind of tree has a fragrance when burned, and it is not easy to get insects.

And the leaves of this kind of tree are very wide, a bit like palm leaves, which can be used as a roof after weaving, and can also release water. The slaves used this kind of leaves as a roof when they built thatched huts.

Under Chi Yan's guidance, the dwarves also got out the bellows.

It was also at this time that Chi Yan discovered the creativity of the dwarves. After all, he just told them to make a wooden box with a hole to let the wind out, and a lever at the back that twitches back and forth. When the lever is pulled, the front can let out the wind.

What he said was abstract, but after a dozen reworks and adjustments, the dwarves really made the bellows.

The dwarves themselves can't explain how to do it, but they have a unique method. They even know the mortise and tenon structure. Of course, it is not as delicate as the mortise and tenon structure that Chi Yan has seen in modern times, but they can also make it without nails. The wood holds together.

Compared with the hard-working and creative tauren and dwarves, goblins seem to have no specialties and advantages.

Goblins are good at digging holes, so Chi Yan thought about it and asked the goblins to dig traps in the woods.

Don't dig too deep, otherwise the prey will not be able to get out, and it will be difficult for them to get the prey out.

Don't dig too shallow, or the prey can easily run away.

The goblins can only think of the simplest way, which is to bury sharpened wood in the dug trap, so that the prey will be stabbed or stabbed to death as soon as it enters.

Fortunately, Chi Yan never thought of raising wild prey in captivity. These wild animals are different from the livestock that the Holy Court will send down soon. They will starve to death, and they will not be captive by humans, and they will lose their meat for nothing.

It's probably because if you don't perform well, you will be hungry. Goblins have been very honest recently. It's good to be lazy, but it's worse to be hungry.

They were even told that if they didn't work hard, they would be evicted from the mud huts they now live in.

The goblin with the scar on his face said bitterly as he dug the hole: "It's all their fault! If they weren't lazy, we wouldn't have only one meal!"

He was a slave from birth, and the best time in his life was some time ago. He had two meals a day, lived in a good house that could keep out the wind and rain, and lived with his mother, sleeping together for warmth at night.

He felt that he was full of strength. As long as he did more work, maybe when his mother couldn't do it anymore, he could also ask the lord not to drive her out. He could do the work of two people, and he could support his mother.

But now, he didn't know that he could still achieve his wish.

Just because of those lazy slobs!

The female goblin whispered, "Keep your voice down so that they don't hear you."

The lazy goblins were grown male goblins, and she was afraid of being heard by them.

The young goblin was not afraid at all: "Don't they dare to beat me? They are too much! The adults should drive them all out! Because of them, we can only eat so much mush a day, and the tauren and dwarves are rewarded by the adults Bread! And we still have mush!"

The young goblin fell into tears as he spoke. He raised his arm and wiped the tears on his arm: "Mom, as long as they are here, we can only do this. You have never eaten bread..."

They have only heard of bread, and they have heard that bread is delicious, filling their stomachs, fragrant and soft, and they even eat it with their tongues!

One tauren bit his tongue while eating bread.

He wanted his mother to be able to eat bread too.

"Drive them out!" The young goblin clenched his fists, "We work hard and shouldn't be dragged down by them!"

The goblins who dug the hole with them this time did not remain silent, and they also said: "Yes! Drive them out! We want bread! We need two meals of mush!"

The goblins quickly made a plan. They would knock the goblins unconscious at night when they were sleeping, and then use the darkness as a cover to drag them away as far as possible, and then throw them away.

Come back and tell the butler that those people have escaped.

Runaway slaves would be executed if found!

Those goblins are definitely not coming back.

The goblins think this plan is very good, but they have been hungry for several days, and they don't know if they still have the strength to drag them farther.

The young goblin encouraged: "Think we'll have two meals of mush in no time!"

"There is also delicious and soft bread! Do you want the lord to think that we are inferior to tauren and dwarves?!"

As a result, the next day, Chi Yan knew that eight goblins had escaped. It happened that these eight goblins were the ones who were lazy before. His intuition told him that it was not that simple. His territory was actually quite barren. Relying on the water, but because of the steep road, there are no towns or other noble territories around.

If you want to go to the city, you have to take a horse-drawn carriage for a long time. The premise is that it doesn't rain that day and you don't encounter ferocious animals on the road.

So these goblins just run, where can they go?Go wild in the woods?What's more, the beasts in the woods are also very fierce, and eight people are not enough to squeeze their teeth.

"It must have been made by other goblins." The butler's eyelids were slack, and his eyes were not fully opened. Now his drooping eyes were shining with wisdom, "Hmph, these goblins are still a little clever."

Butler: "But they still have to be punished!"

"Otherwise, they will always make the territory less slaves in the future!"

He had a pained face: "Slaves are very expensive! You have to trade them for good wheat! Merchants are the most treacherous people!"

Chi Yan asked, "How to punish?"

The butler restrained his expression and said sternly: "Let them finish the work of those eight goblins! When will new slaves come in, when will they not have to do it!"

Those eight goblins were also bought with wheat, and the butler's heart was bleeding.

Chi Yan didn't feel anything, after all, he had never bought a slave with money or food since he was a lord.

He blinked: "Okay, just do as you said, we can't let them get into the habit of throwing away slaves."

The goblins soon learned of the bad news, but the good news is that as long as they don't slack off and work hard, they will be able to return to eating twice a day in half a month.

The young goblin said to the goblins: "If one of us is lazy, we will do the same to him!"

"Correct!"

"For two messes!"

"For the bread!"

……

The young goblin was awakened by a nightmare at night. He dreamed that the eight goblins dragged away by them were dead and came back to seek revenge from them. He trembled in the dark night and wept silently in his mother's arms, but he didn't mind at all. regret.

As long as those goblins are still there, they will always be dragged down by those goblins.

Although they were of the same race, they were not related by blood. Those goblins never took care of their clansmen, and would steal their food instead. When the young goblins were younger, they wanted to go to the dwarves with their mother.

The dwarves are not doing well, but the dwarves don't bully their people.

Even the dwarves are cared for by their kindred.

The young goblin hugged his mother tightly.

The two knights have returned to "normal" now, at least they haven't gone crazy, but they are more hostile to Kleist, and they have to complain in front of Chi Yan from time to time, and Chi Yan's ears are almost numb.

But they also ate the wild boar brought by Kleist.

When it was time to eat, the cook always asked the cook to give them more bacon.

Chi Yan asked them, "Is it fragrant?"

The two knights laughed and said, "It smells so good!"

Chi Yan had nothing to say.

He is worried about his loom recently. After the charcoal is fired, he has to forge iron, which is also a technical job. He doesn't know how much pig iron will be scrapped to make a decent blade.

Kaifeng had to use a whetstone——he had to find a whetstone.

Chi Yan felt that the road was long and long, and he might not be able to get a loom next year.

Before steel production began, the Holy Court finally sent people to bring the livestock. It took them more than two months to send the livestock from the time they applied for raising livestock to the Holy Court. The livestock sent this time included two cows, twelve sheep, and twenty chickens and ducks each.

The animals were sent by a low-level court attendant and a few slaves. The court attendant is the lowest status in the Holy Court. They may be kicked out of the Holy Court due to financial reasons. Most of them are doing errands. .

The courtyard attendant's name is Alex. He has a big brown beard, is very tall, and has a muscular body. After delivering the livestock, he is going to return the same way. It was Chi Yan's repeated invitations that left him for a meal. meal.

In order for him not to inform the Holy Court of the new bread that Chi Yan made after he went back, the Holy Court sent people over and found that Chi Yan was working on iron, which finally caused Chi Yan to be hanged, so he was invited to eat ordinary unfermented bread The old bread and the rotten meat that the cook has been hanging on the windowsill.

But Alex was happy to eat.

The status of courtyard servants is very low, although commoners respect them when they walk outside, the rewards they can get are very limited.

The most I eat is black bread. It is already a great enjoyment to eat meat, or meat with spices.

"Please express my loyalty to the Holy Court." Chi Yan said what the housekeeper taught him, "I always remember the teachings of the Holy Spirit and uphold the will of the Holy Spirit."

While desperately stuffing the meat, Alexis looked at Chi Yan obsessively: "My lord, don't worry, I will truthfully report your loyalty to the Holy Spirit to the Holy Court."

Chi Yan personally put Alex on the horse and watched him take the slave away.

Alexis rode away and was still waving at Chi Yan.

"Why are you still watching?" Kleist walked up to him.

Chi Yan sighed: "I feel that I can't hide it forever."

He had to think of a better way to disguise himself.

So he didn't dare to hire someone, and he was also worried that the servants would tell their relatives after letting the servants go home.

But he really just wanted to feel better.

I want the slaves to live better too.

Everyone is better off.

But at the risk of being hanged.
