Succubus' Manor

In the twinkling of an eye, summer turns to autumn, and the golden wheat waves in the territory fluctuate with the wind, and the water wheel makes a "click" sound when it turns. , is ready to enjoy the joy of a good harvest. A good harvest represents abundance. No one knows whether you are rich or not, but there must be enough.

Who would have thought that three years ago, this territory was still a piece of land with only fields and castles?The slaves didn't even have a shed to shelter from the rain, and the entire territory consisted of slaves and servants, and there were only a few civilians.

But now, people come and go in the territory, goblins can mix with humans, tauren can chat with dwarves, and even the demons have a few foreign friends, and occasionally get together to drink Have some wine and go hunting deep in the woods.

The summer heat is still dragging its tail, and there is still an ice basin in Chi Yan's room.

As a result, when it rained, Xia Tian's tail was beaten to pieces and disappeared.

They had to compete with God for time and braved the rain to harvest wheat.

The rainy season is coming.

When the rainy season comes, only indoor workers can still work, and outdoor workers can start a long vacation. If they can't be free, they can also find some temporary work.

The first rain was over, and as soon as the sky turned sunny, people started the autumn harvest in a hurry.

This year, there are no locusts to disturb the situation, and there are no natural disasters. The man-made disasters outside have not yet affected here, so the granary was quickly filled.

There are especially many card tuo, occupying a warehouse alone.

The sought-after wheat was also piled into the barn.

The fresh crispy lotus root was quickly served on the dining table, the spinning room had cotton to spin cotton thread, and the hanging bow used to pluck cotton was once again useful. Within a few days, mushrooms in the woods also appeared after the rain head, and the fungus grew behind the shady tree.

Chi Yan ate the boiled lotus root slices, drank a sip of wild vegetable soup, took another bite of steamed buns, sandwiched a piece of meat, and let out a comfortable breath, feeling that there was no more enjoyment.

He turned his head and glanced at Kleist. The food in front of Kleist was completely different from his. It was an unknowingly mature steak, and bloodshot eyes could still be seen after cutting it. Although the food was so wild, it Kleist eats gracefully.

It seems that he is a serious nobleman.

Because it was a rare harvest season, Chi Yan also invited Benedict and Mrs. Campbell to have dinner together.

Mrs. Campbell was a silent, silent woman who sat there like an invisible person.

Only Benedict, like a big horse monkey, couldn't rest for a while. He took a sip of soup and smacked his lips. No guest consciously said: "It's too bland, tasteless, and unpalatable."

Chi Yan found that, except for him, everyone else seemed to have an obsession with heavy salt and spices, and they couldn't appreciate the bland taste. It may be that the heavy taste has spoiled their tongues all year round.

In his own territory, Benedict knows that he is a lord and a nobleman, and he subconsciously restrains himself. As a normal "adult", after coming to Chi Yan, he finds that he can not even look like a lord I pretended, so I started to let myself go, and became a happy brat.

Especially Mrs. Campbell's responsiveness to him made him even more bearish.

Chi Yan took another sip of the soup, and said to Benedict, "I sent someone out to buy salt, and then I will let Anna cook the soup for you alone."

I will kill you.

Benedict didn't understand Chi Yan's implication. He had been drawing in seclusion for a long time, his painting skills hadn't improved, and his aesthetics was still unsightly, but he developed a slowness like sitting still.

"I don't know what's going on outside." Benedict ran over when the plague broke out and left the subjects in his territory, but he was not condemned by his conscience at all.

After all, the nobles don't feel responsible to the people in the territory.

They feel that the people on the territory have a responsibility to them.

Benedict thought very optimistically: "I will be able to go back next year."

He thought he could leave the territory neatly and go back neatly, because he is a hereditary nobleman, so once he goes back, he will still be the honorable lord.

Chi Yan ruthlessly shattered his fantasy: "I don't think it's possible. If you leave, your territory can't be left alone. The local holy courtyard is still there."

Chi Yan didn't know whether he had become smarter or had been trained. He looked very calm and said, "The Holy Court will definitely take over the management. If you go back, you will either be a puppet, or the Holy Court will find a way to get rid of it. "

Although the Holy Court should also know that Benedict is a rich man, but Benedict is a nobleman and a viscount after all. If he is not eliminated, he can justifiably regain the right to govern at any time, and then turn around and fall into the embrace of the royal family.

The people who really support the Holy Court are almost all civilians, and only civilians need to find comfort, because they don't have enough food and clothing, and if they don't find some comfort, they don't need this comfort to paralyze themselves, and they can't survive at all.

A small number of aristocrats with a bad life, or nobles who fantasize about immortality, will also believe in the Holy Court. For example, the duke who has been "purged" by the royal family probably no longer obsesses with the authority of the world and wants to go to the seat of the Holy Spirit Be a good follower.

And more nobles, they are naturally more inclined to the royal family, because they have the same interests and needs as the royal family.

I don't want to be controlled by the Holy Court, I want more power, and I will reach the pinnacle of power through the struggle of kingship and theocracy.

Get promoted and get rich.

There are quite a few people like Benedict who eat and wait to die, relying on the shade of their ancestors to get by. They don't want to be powerful, but they want to have enough food and drink, and have a good time.

Chi Yan has never thought about these things. He is not interested in politics, especially the politics of other worlds. When he has that time, he might as well think about what is missing in the territory, the infrastructure, and even where to get minerals.

But at this moment, he suddenly thought of something that he had never thought of before.

For example, the Holy Court brought Flando into it, is it just to fight for power with the royal family?What's the difference between leading a wolf into a house?No matter how out of his mind the dean of the Holy Spirit is, it's not that he can't even think of this.

Chi Yan looked at Benedict's face.

Suddenly thought, what if it wasn't for leading wolves into the house?What if the Holy House...is also a wolf?

It's just that wolves disguise themselves as sheep, and when the time comes, they take off the sheep's skin, attract their own compatriots, and slaughter those sheep that have been deceived and can't tell the difference between east, west, and north.

After being stared at by Chi Yan for so long, Benedict suddenly blushed, and gave Chi Yan a coy look, but without any force, it was a standard secret delivery of "spinach".

He has always been a vegetarian, both male and female, and his ability to resist Chi Yan was all cultivated by Mrs. Campbell, but his ability to resist is also very limited. Seeing Chi Yan so intently, his little heart is in the The beating in the chest was about to explode.

Chi Yan was taken aback by the "spinach" that Benedict sent over with his eyes, and was also frightened back, and quickly looked at Kleist.

Kleist was smiling at him.

Chi Yan shivered. For some reason, he felt a little guilty about being "caught in bed".

Benedict didn't see Chi Yan and Kleist's eyebrow-eye lawsuit, he lowered his head, sweet troubles filled his heart.

He didn't mind being with Chi Yan, but they were both lords, so how could they be divided?If Chi Yan was the same as his male lover, either a commoner or a slave, then it would be easy to distinguish between top and bottom, but Chi Yan was not, especially now that he was still living on other people's land.

But if you let him be the next one, that's absolutely impossible.

Benedict hesitated again and again, but finally resisted Chi Yan's charm.

Chi Yan didn't know that he was unilaterally rejected by this bisexual. He lowered his head, ate his meal in silence, and then went back to the room like a thief. He had never been in a relationship before he traveled here. , I am not very familiar with the "possessiveness" and "jealousy" between lovers.

When he was in junior high school, the men and women in his class were obsessed with dazzling dances, joined various families, and had a lot of online relationships. The Internet has experienced a series of love and hatred.

For example, the "husband" or "wife" cheated with someone from a rival family, or finally bought a pair of permanent new wings, but was called ugly by the "object", etc.

They are young and have experienced many battles online.

Only at that time Chi Yan was obsessed with shooting games and sandbox games. He became a "master" in the Audition Company when he was in elementary school, and his mind was not open at that time. If you are free, you have to be rich. Black Internet cafes cost two yuan an hour, which seems small, but the average salary is only a few hundred yuan, and the Internet fee for the e-reading room is also one yuan an hour.

Under the protection of his brothers and sisters, he really didn't spend any money to play this game. He often received gifts from his brothers and sisters as soon as he went online, and became the most favored mascot in the family.

So for Xuanwu who came out later, he is like a DOTA player who looks down on LOL players. Apart from feeling that he is a peerless master and should not abuse food, he also has a sense of superiority as an "original" player. Calling this "shanzhai product" can't show that he is good, he is an old player.

He was at the age when he was supposed to be young, and he was obsessed with headshots and mining every day. As a "net bug" who surfed earlier, he didn't even have an online relationship, which is incredible to say.

I knew that even if I didn't date online back then, I should have heard more complaints from my friends.

When Kleist entered the room, all he could see was Chi Yan's back. Chi Yan was lying on the bed, hugging the quilt, and when he heard footsteps, he turned his head and found Kleist standing at the door, leaning on the door frame , arms crossed chest, with a smile on the corner of the mouth, like that unborn yet chic peerless master.

The main thing is to look good.

Chi Yan raised his head, like a snail protruding its tentacles from its shell, and asked cautiously, "Are you... angry?"

Originally, what he wanted to ask was, are you jealous, but it's not good to ask directly, Chi Yan still knows that anyone who is jealous doesn't want others to know that he is jealous.

Kleist: "Not at all."

Chi Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

But Kleist seemed to be competing with himself, and after a few seconds, he said: "What's so good about Benedict?"

Benedict is really not very good-looking, he has a big nose, small eyes, and thin lips, so only the big nose is the most conspicuous in the whole face, but his eyes are very beautiful, although the eyes are small, but the pair of light green eyes, They looked very much like the eyes of the leading actor on a movie poster that Chi Yan had seen.

When Chi Yan was in a trance, he saw Benedict's eyes.

But in front of Kleist, Chi Yan would never say that Benedict's eyes are beautiful. He suddenly explained that he just looked at Benedict in a daze.

By the way, I said my guess.

After finishing his guess, Chi Yan said in a low voice: "Didn't the holy envoy come here and say that there is a piece of land that the lord is not in charge of now, and there are still iron mines? I'm actually..." I was a little moved.

High-rise buildings need steel and iron frames. Although he does not need to build high-rise buildings, having iron mines means that for a long time, they have a foundation for construction, steel factories, and steam engines—although these things seem to be still It's far away, but Chi Yan is very optimistic that as long as he works harder, digs out all the knowledge in his mind, and experiences repeated failures, he will definitely be able to get it out.

Before the industrial revolution, who would have thought that such a big change in the world would be kicked off by a small Jenny machine?

Who would have thought that the picturesque country and fertile land of the Qing Dynasty would be destroyed because of the seclusion of the country?

The most important things in the Industrial Revolution are generally considered to be the steam engine, coal, iron, and steel.

Chi Yan's science is not very good, but as long as he can memorize it by rote, he will never forget it.

That's why he studied liberal arts. After all, besides mathematics, as long as he puts in the effort to memorize other liberal arts subjects, his grades will not be bad. Only mathematics requires formulas.

His math grades - it's really not good, the formulas he sets are all right, but the answers are always wrong, even the teacher is embarrassed to beat him, because he has worked hard enough, but math, it seems to be poor A tiny bit of it is actually a thousand miles away.

English is also a closed-mouthed English, and the test is okay, but it is still unnecessary to really communicate with foreigners.

Geography is quite satisfactory, Chi Yan doesn't like it very much, but his grades are not bad, and the teacher plans to appoint him as the representative of the geography class, but the teacher just appointed him in the last class, and Chi Yan went to the office to sue the teacher after class.

Chinese was barely considered Chi Yan's strong point, and he was ranked No. [-] in the city in a single subject in the high school entrance examination, although there were twelve people who were No. [-].

History and politics are Chi Yan's strong points, and occasionally he can get full marks.

If you go to study science, not to mention the heavy exams, even if you take the three exams, you will probably be suspended.

Chi Yan murmured to himself: "If I knew it earlier, I should learn the theory. If you learn mathematics, physics and chemistry well, you won't be afraid to travel all over the world."

Especially coming to this place.

He used to read novels and read a book review. The reader pointedly said that when he travels to a different world, science students are engaged in construction, and liberal arts books are engaged in politics.

Chi Yan felt that he was a liberal arts student engaged in construction, and his major was very wrong, but he was not born to engage in politics.

Not everyone has an exquisite heart and can see through the turbulent storms below the quiet years, and not everyone can sneak in the conspiracy every day with a smiling face.

Kleist didn't hear what Chi Yan was muttering, but just asked, "Do you want to go?"

Chi Yan can't make up his mind. He is very opinionated in the game, but he is very ordinary in real life. Because there are parents, teachers, and classmates and friends next to him, he usually doesn't do it because he finds it tiring and doesn't want to burden it. responsibility.

"If I go, what will I do here? Who will take care of it? And it's so small, I haven't produced any effect yet." Chi Yan had a rare introspection. After such introspection, he felt that he shouldn't have done it for this before. Be complacent about the results.

He traveled from modern times, and all he came into contact with were modern technological products. He even disassembled and played with inferior drones, not to mention the remote control car at home that he dismantled and reassembled.

Could it be that he is satisfied with the quilt, the steel that existed in the Spring and Autumn Period, and the semi-automatic waterwheel?

Standing on the shoulders of giants, he has a reserve of knowledge beyond this era given to him by modern times. If he doesn't take it out or make a show of it, is he willing to do so?

Who doesn't want to make a career out of it?The chubby guy with the worst grades in his class has written essays about wanting to be a millionaire.

However, the dream of Monopoly is too general, and it is estimated that it will be a bit difficult to implement.

Chi Yan took a deep breath, and suddenly said to Kleist solemnly, "I'm going."

This time I didn't think about it, I wanted to.

The smile on Kleist's face also subsided. He was keenly aware that Chi Yan had just made a decision, a very serious and important decision. Chi Yan's expression was solemn, but his eyes sparkled .

The light is dazzling, like a buried gem, which has been dug out and carefully polished. Finally, the dusty outer shell has been worn away, and it appears in another form, and it is determined to blind the eyes of onlookers. dog eyes.

Chi Yan said: "There are iron mines there. If you are lucky, there should be a lot of iron mines. Now the Holy Court has no time to take care of them. As long as food is collected, people have already collected it once. It is impossible to collect it again, Ferrando thought. If you want to fight over, you don’t want to take over a country that has no one.”

Chi Yan said clearly: "There are also coal mines. When you go to the big city, you can find out more information. You can always find out where the coal mines are. Moreover, there are still natural disasters and man-made disasters. People are most likely to be united."

People are very resilient creatures, no matter how much suffering they suffer, few are willing to die, but with some sunshine they can shine brightly.

Fear will make people just stick together and keep each other warm.

It is indeed a good thing for Chi Yan to take over a large city that is almost destroyed and has iron mines.

As for here...

"Take all the people away." Chi Yan said seriously, "The most precious thing we have now is not the land, but the people."

All are experienced people.

Chi Yan immediately gained confidence, and he said to Kleist: "This place is too small, and there are only copper mines, so it won't last long to buy iron."

The geographical location is also not very good.

The only problem is that Chi Yan is like a handy shopkeeper here. He comes and goes, and goes to a bigger territory. Can he take care of that?

It's just that before Chi Yan's worries were expressed, Kleist said, "Go if you want to. I'm the other one, so don't worry."

These words made Chi Yan's heart sink in his stomach.

Chi Yan walked over and hugged Kleist's waist. Recently, he especially likes to have physical contact with Kleist. When he was by Kleist's side, he had the feeling that he had returned to modern times. , someone loves.

Not because of his succubus physique "love" him, but love him for who he is.

Chi Yan leaned his head on Kleist's chest, feeling warm all over.

"The next time the Holy Envoy comes, I'll ask him to go to the Holy Court to talk about it." Chi Yan said softly, "It will probably take a year or two when it's done."

For this territory, Chi Yan is still very reluctant. Everyone has just lived in a newly repaired house. There are tiles on their heads, food in the field, and water can be fetched by opening the door. Everyone cherishes it.

But Chi Yan knew in his heart that labor was the foundation of everything.

Unless he turned this small territory into a big city, no matter how beautiful he imagined it would be a castle in the air.

However, it would be impossible to turn this remote small territory into a big city within ten or eight years. During this period, he still had to worry about being troubled by the Holy Court or the royal family because the population was too large, beyond the scope of his small lord's governance.

So what if there are demons and steel knives in his territory?Can you fight against a country?

Only by obtaining a "legal" status can he continue to do what he wants to do.

After Chi Yan made up his mind, he felt relieved. In fact, he had already started to worry. He clearly knew that in this territory, there were only copper mines and saltpeter, and what he could do was very limited. Pig iron still required merchants to do their best. There is no way to buy it, and once it is discovered, it may be uprooted and brought to the pot.

He still has many things he wants to build, such as steam engines, hot air balloons, bicycles, asphalt roads and so on.

Although he doesn't know what he can create, it's always good to have the courage to try, maybe he will succeed?

Chi Yan suddenly felt a sense of pride and ambition, and felt that he was very heroic, and he was about to fall in love with him.

"If I go there, I will definitely ask them to clean up the street first." Chi Yan's mind leaped, and he had already begun to imagine what he would do after he went to the new place. "With fewer people, there will be more houses. As long as there are enough food, no worries about no one coming.”

Kleist originally didn't want to interrupt Chi Yan's "wishful thinking", but he still asked: "Where did the food come from? Transport all the food here? Give it to them? It's a big city, you take out the katuo today , Katuo will flow out tomorrow.”

Chi Yan: "... makes sense."

What he thinks is construction, and Kleist thinks about messy chores. Construction seems to be very simple, as long as you are not afraid of being tired or hard, someone can do it, you have theories and drawings, and you can accumulate experience even if you are unsuccessful, but the sundries are very complicated. Little things can ruin Chi Yan's hard work.

Kleist seems to have come to pour cold water on Chi Yan: "Think about it again, don't worry, there is still a lot of time."

Chi Yan looked up at Kleist, and felt that Kleist was a sea-fixing needle. Chi Yan boasted: "You think so much, I'm in love with you!"

Kleist, who had a serious face, turned his head, and the tips of his ears suddenly turned a little red.

He pursed his lips unnaturally, and his slightly upturned lips revealed his current mood.

The word love is as light as a gust of wind, and Kleist was caught off guard and intoxicated by the gust of wind.
