I'm working on infrastructure in the wizarding world

"No," Norman hurriedly pressed Kangnan, who was furious, and said with a smile: "Olanka is a forbidden area for them, and besides, there is a dragon guarding it. Will they come here in a while?"

"One and a half?" Kang Nan sat down on the chair, "How long are you talking about this one and a half?"

Norman thought for a while, and said: "It will take three to five years... right? The old mage is terrified of his life. There is no perfect plan, so he won't come here to seek death. And Master Char will not sit idly by, let alone you Have you signed a cooperation with the orcs and elves? They won't turn a blind eye just to cooperate."

Kang Nan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I'm scared to death, but I don't support idlers here, let's talk about it, what will you two do?"

Ask the mage what?

Eddie and Carl glanced at each other, sneaked under the table and shook hands.

Eddie said: "Daily cleaning, plant maintenance, flour refining these common spells we all know."

Connan: ...

"That's it?? We don't need spells to do all of this. Look around Oulanka where daily cleaning is needed, but it's just a matter of scrubbing and scrubbing? As for plant maintenance, nearly two thousand acres of land are maintained by the two of you." Come here? As for flour refining, there is no need, but there are two more sieves.”

Eddie looked surprised. When they came, they did find that Olanka was clean inside and out, and wondered if there were other mages here.As a result, Norman told him that there are no mages here.No mage can keep it so clean, it must be done by the red dragon guarding here.

It's just that I was in a hurry when I came here, and I didn't see the outside scene.Although the two of them can't take care of two thousand acres of land, but...

"Your Majesty, your food always needs to be cleaned and refined, right? And Carl is very good at cooking monster meat. The steak he roasted with magic is tender and juicy. Your Majesty must try it. And cleanliness is something that Master Red Dragon should do." Is it too good to be useful? The two of us can guarantee His Majesty's daily routine and the cleanliness of the castle."

Norman pursed his lips, looking as if he was trying to suppress a smile.

Kang Nan gave him a sideways look, thinking that the little dog must have played tricks and wanted to scare the two mages.

He cleared his throat and said, "Let me tell you this, the weather is hot now, all of us, listen carefully, all of us take a shower, wash our hair and change our clothes every day to ensure our bodies make a living. Hygiene in the castle Lady Aisha will also lead other civilians or slaves to clean up, and they will be well maintained. The people of Oulanka never defecate anywhere, after all, those things that look filthy to you are good fertilizer for us. Everyone here has a few acres of land, the elderly and children may only have one or two acres, but the young and middle-aged will have three or four acres of land that can be planted, and there is no need for a mage to do anything."

Kang Nan looked at the increasingly distorted expressions of the two mages, and said again: "Believe me, the food here is no worse than the monster meat you made with magic."

Carl is young after all. He took a deep breath and said in disbelief, "You guys take a bath? Taking a bath will let the devil enter your body..."

"Ahem!" Norman coughed hard, and looked up at Eddie.

Only then did Eddie come to his senses, and quickly stopped Carl from continuing, saying, "Olanka doesn't respect the Holy Court and the Mage Tower, have you forgotten?"

Karl's complexion changed, and then he remembered why he and Eddie ran to Oulanka for refuge, because the holy court and the mage's tower were bulldozed here, and the belief of the holy court and the mage was forbidden.

Kang Nan smiled and said: "You two may not be used to the life in Olanka for the first time, why don't you rest for three days and let Norman show you around. But I have to make it clear in advance, Olanka If you don’t raise disabled people, the ones you know may be worthless in Oulanka, so... you may have to develop some new tricks.”

Eddie moved his mouth as if to say something, but finally swallowed.He stood up and saluted respectfully, and said: "Your Majesty, since we hope to obtain your protection, we will definitely try our best to adapt to life in Olanka. Thank you for giving us three days, we will discuss it carefully How to serve His Majesty."

Connor then stood up with a smile on his face, looking at the two escaped mages as if he was looking at the fatness of the livestock waiting to be slaughtered, "In this case, let's have a meal first, and then the two of you will go around? Aisha, What are we eating today?"

Aisha said softly: "Originally we said we would eat noodles, but it happened that Lord Norman brought more than 300 slaves. Emily thought that the newcomers might not be able to eat noodles, so she made buns and boiled some potatoes. "

"Bun?" Karl had never heard the word before, "is that what Olanka calls bread?"

Aisha glanced at him, her eyes were full of love for fools, "Master, steamed stuffed bun is a kind of food unique to us in Olanka, it is very delicious, and it was also developed by our King himself, and it is now in Oulanka very popular."

After speaking, she saluted Kang Nan and went to the kitchen.

The slaves at the gate are still being yelled at to take off their clothes, shave their hair and take a shower. Because of the mage's traditional concept, they don't care about the slaves at all.To them, slaves are not as valuable as livestock, and it is normal to be yelled and scolded back and forth.

But when they saw the scrubbed slaves wearing clean clothes with their heads bare, they all exuded a super surprised aura.It's just because the young king of Olanka doesn't respect mages as much as other countries, and he takes the lead in taking a bath and doesn't believe in the holy court at all, so he can only press this shock back to his stomach, and he can ask separately later Norman.

At this time, Kang Nan was talking to Norman.

"I didn't expect you to come back so soon. I said three months ago. I think I have to wait until the end of autumn."

Norman drank slowly from his teacup, and said, "I thought so too at first, but I didn't expect to see elders from several other places discussing bacon with our king after I went back."

"Oh? They also found bacon and bacon?" Kang Nan laughed.

Norman nodded and said: "Animal husbandry is not an easy task, and because most of the animal herds are gentle herbivorous orcs, cattle and sheep are easily attacked by ordinary carnivores. It's just that dead animal meat It can’t be eaten in a short time. If it catches up with the hot weather, it will start to rot after half a day, and a lot of meat will be wasted every year. So if you can save the meat, you can even exchange it for money. It’s a very important thing to say.”

"Don't worry, I will research more ways to preserve meat, but what kind of livestock did you bring this time?" Connan was more concerned about this.

Norman smiled and said: "One hundred sheep, one hundred goats, one hundred cows, ten horses, and pigs that have just been domesticated for two years. But because you said that you are afraid that there will be no way to feed them, so you will temporarily put them in We keep them in the tribe and wait for the spring to send them. Besides, I have brought one hundred chickens, one hundred ducks and twenty geese now."

Kang Nan stretched his neck when he heard that, "Chickens, ducks and geese?? You also have chickens, ducks and geese?? Why didn't you bring them to me last time??"

Norman said: "Because chickens, ducks and geese can't... deal with it."

Connan: ...

In fact, in his time, there were very few capons, ducks and geese.Both broiler and laying hens are raised separately, and the young cocks can be sold after a few months.As for ducks...whether it is roast duck in the north or stewed duck in the south, it definitely requires a lot of breeding. Male ducks must work hard to grow into breeding ducks, otherwise they will end up being eaten.

As for geese, there are not many people who raise them. Many rural people raise geese to watch their homes and homes, and sell them directly after laying eggs. The price is not cheap.

"Where is it all? Why didn't I hear anything?" Kang Nan wished he could go and have a look.

Norman said: "They are all in the cage. I brought someone to watch beside me. Maybe I dare not call?"

"No, I have to go and see, and the chicken coop must be repaired quickly." Kang Nan couldn't sit still.

At this moment, Aisha and Emily came over with steamed buns and soup, and Norman hurriedly said, "It's just a while, let's eat first and then go."

There are more than a dozen big fat buns piled up on each small bamboo tray. Aisha said that she made four kinds of fillings, three of them were meat, and the vegetarian ones were for the new slaves to try out. You can get a bun and two potatoes.As for what was served, it was all meat, fifteen on a plate, with a steaming aroma.

In addition to the buns, there is also a large jar of vegetable and egg soup. These eggs were sent by Norman and the others. Only Kang Nan has them. Others drink soup without eggs.

The steamed buns in two big steamers were carried upstairs. Char looked down on the mages at all, so naturally he didn't think about going downstairs to eat.

"This is the steamed stuffed bun?" Carl had just picked up one before looking at it, when Connan washed his hands in the basin brought by Aisha, and Norman also washed his hands.He was taken aback, and quickly put the bun back, but there were already two finger prints on the skin of the bun.

Washing hands before meals, is this some new Oulanka ritual?

Eddie and Carl also washed their hands and wiped them with a cloth towel.This time they didn't dare to move around, they watched the maids following Aisha put a plate in front of each of them, took a bowl of soup and put it away, and left after luggage.

Kang Nan then picked up a steamed bun and put it on the plate in front of him, and said with a smile, "Come on, the two mages have a taste of our Olanka specialty."

Karl picked up the food called steamed stuffed bun again, and tore apart the skin of the steamed stuffed bun, following Kang Nan's example.Immediately, the rich smell of meat burst out, and the gravy with oily soup dripped from the torn hole onto the plate.

He didn't care about blowing it and quickly took a bite, the delicious taste of the meat filled his mouth immediately, even if it was hot, he was reluctant to open his mouth, for fear that the smell would escape.

Eddie was much more refined than him. He imitated Conan and blew the minced meat again and again before putting the torn piece into his mouth.

"God of magic! This...why is it so delicious?"

When they fled, they had already prepared a lot of bread and butter and put them in the storage ring. Although they were not hungry all the way, they were not full either.Especially on this road, I don't dare to use magic to make food, for fear that the group of people from the Mage Association will find them based on magic fluctuations.

Fortunately, I met the orc Norman who had helped once many years ago, otherwise it would be too difficult to rely on their abilities to bypass the pursuit of the Mage Association.

However, when they came all the way, they were full of imagination. Olanka is very poor now. It is said that there is only the little king and old, young, sick and disabled slaves.We are mages, but as long as we don't conflict with the dragons guarding Olanka, it should be no problem to be regarded as the honored guest by that little king.

But who knew that the little king didn't have a good impression of mages. Not only did he not believe in the Holy Court and the mage's tower, but he even felt that mages were useless.

This is embarrassing, there are no more honored guests, and I have to think carefully about how to stay and not be regarded as idlers.

At the beginning, Karl thought that his barbecue would be recognized by many mages and dignitaries. They held a banquet and invited him to the barbecue, so he must also be loved by King Olanka.But when I eat this kind of food called buns, I feel that I think too much.

Go to his barbecue, how delicious are these buns!Make him willing to eat every day! !

Kang Nan was also tired after going out this trip. He ate eight steamed buns and drank two bowls of vegetable and egg soup before he stopped, and then he burped in satisfaction.Or half a child eats a poor old man, if it is an ordinary adult, such a big meat bun can eat five in one meal, and then a bowl of soup.But he can eat eight! !

Then he saw those adults gobbling up, there were not many buns left on the table.

He opened his mouth, turned around and gestured to Aisha.Aisha walked out quietly, and after a while, three more plates of meat buns were brought over.

Norman is an orc, and he has a big appetite. It is normal for one person to kill thirty.But those two didn't give in, and the three trays of steamed stuffed buns they brought were also quickly wiped out.

It wasn't until they swallowed the last bite that Eddie and Carl burped in satisfaction, and picked up the soup bowl to drink slowly, as if they weren't the ones who just wolfed down.

Norman said: "I didn't expect that after I left for a while, His Majesty actually researched delicious food again."

"Hey, don't you think it's too troublesome to bake bread? You still have to get vegetables and stuff. Steamed buns are easy, and you have noodles, vegetables, and meat." Connan watched Aisha remove the things on the table, and asked again Said: "Have the people brought by Norman also eaten?"

Aisha said: "Send a drawer over there, it should be enough to eat, if not enough, the person in charge over there will go to the kitchen to get it."

Norman nodded, and he looked outside.The cleaned slaves sat on straw mats under the wall, each with a steamed bun and two potatoes, and hot soup to drink.

Aisha said again: "There is not enough manpower. I selected a few clean old men from among the slaves to help. But where will these people live in the future?"

"Isn't the dormitory vacant? If it's a child, you can squeeze it in. Five newcomers will enter each room. The old will bring the new, and follow the rules. The former slaves..." He said here, brows could not help Twist it up.

Most of the [-] or so slaves were old, weak, sick, disabled, and pregnant women. Those who had skills or learned something by themselves had been promoted to civilian status, and they had built houses in the planned community to live in.Today, most of the rest are children, half-grown children, the elderly and some disabled people.

Although these people work hard every day, the contribution value is not as good as those who are strong and skilled, so there are a lot of back and forth left.

"Let them find out more about the identities of these new slaves, and build an orphanage in the middle of the community after the autumn harvest for them to live in. Only slaves live in the dormitory." Kangnan thought for a while and said: "If anyone is willing to adopt For children, those who are willing to take care of the elderly can also take the children and the elderly away. Let’s see the opinions of those people.”

Eddie and Carl were so shocked that they didn't understand for a while.But Norman and Aisha, who had long been accustomed to Connan's thoughts, understood.Aisha nodded and said: "Then I will give instructions. Whoever wants to take the elderly and children will take them away first, and those who don't take them away will take the newcomers separately, and there will be rewards if they take them."

Kang Nan smiled and nodded, "Yes, that's it."

After Aisha left, Connan said to Norman: "Then I'll go to the back to see the chickens, ducks and geese you gave me. You can take these two guests around."

Both Norman and Eddie Carl stood up and saluted, and Carl couldn't help but hiccupped for a long time, embarrassingly blushing.

Kang Nan waved his hand to show that he didn't care, and then ran to the back door in a hurry.

When Connan left, Eddie grabbed Norman and said in a trembling voice, "Just now, what did he mean by slave civilians, adoption, and dormitories?"

Norman pulled back his arm with a gentle smile, "I've eaten too much, why don't you walk around to digest it. Actually, I was also very shocked at first, but the king of Olanka is really admirable. "

As he talked, he walked out, and across the square, he could see many bald heads sitting under the wall, and more slaves were staring at the slaves who had put on clean clothes, and took off their clean clothes one after another. They borrowed knives and began to shave each other's hair without the maids and servants yelling, they were so obedient.

"The nobles before Olanka and the group of civilians who were in power have abandoned Olanka, so His Majesty swore that they would never set foot on Olanka's land again. His Majesty the King established a new system and built houses for slaves , divided the land, and also rewarded them if they can contribute to Olanka, they can become civilians."

Norman led the two bewildered mages out from the small west gate, pointed to two houses and said, "The rows of low stone houses are slave dormitories, and the two floors here are the residential quarters that His Majesty mentioned. All of them are ex-slaves who have been changed to civilian status. In the distance is the farmland, which is already the second crop of grain, and I am afraid there will be a bumper harvest in another month. Seeing that by the stream Is there a paddy field? It is a crop that His Majesty found that can grow in muddy swamps, and it is said to be edible. There are also those dried fruits in the square, which His Majesty will store for the winter."

"Why don't you use magic to save it?" Karl couldn't help but patted himself on the cheek as soon as he finished speaking, "I forgot, no one in Olanka knows magic now."

Norman said: "Yes, no one in Olanka knows magic, but His Majesty can still make this place such a beautiful place. And what you have learned may not be applicable to Your Majesty. So friend Eddie, You have to think carefully about what else you can do.”

The magicians were really shocked. Although Oulanka is not as prosperous as before, it still gives people a bright feeling.The entire castle, the road outside, the so-called dormitory and the community are so clean that there is no stain at all.

The clothes that everyone washed were hung on the rack at the door and fluttered in the wind, and flowers and plants were planted on both sides of the path paved with gravel!

"However, magic is also very useful." Carl thought about the magic he knew. He was obviously liked by the rich and powerful, but why there was nowhere to use it here.

Eddie walked slowly towards the field beside Norman, and suddenly smelled a strange smell while walking.His eyes lit up, and he pointed to the piles of black things piled up by the field and said, "These things are so smelly, I can use magic to get them into the forest, and they won't pollute the food! Norman , do you think His Majesty would like this kind of magic?"

Norman: ...

He smiled slightly and said: "Your Majesty needs to compost these things. It is made of livestock manure, dead branches and leaves, rotten vegetables and fruits, and...human manure, mixed with soil and withered grass. And this thing is very composted by His Majesty. Valuable, because he wants to use these to sprinkle in the field, so that the crops grow better. If you lose it, you may be kicked out by His Majesty today."

"Wait! You mean...you mean the food we eat is grown with dung??" Eddie and Carl had very ugly faces.

Norman nodded.

The faces of the two magicians changed, and they rushed to the side and wanted to vomit.

Norman kindly reminded, "By the way, you'd better spit it on the compost, His Majesty should be very happy. And...even the dragons will eat this kind of food, why do you dislike it?"

The nauseating acid water had already reached the throat, but when they heard Norman's words, they couldn't go up and down, almost killing the two magicians on the spot.

"Well, isn't this just eating, eating..." Eddie couldn't get the word out.

Norman said seriously: "Your Majesty said that even crops grown by magic need to be planted in the soil. There will be corpses of bugs in the soil every day, and the rain will wash away the feces that have not been cleaned, and these things will flow. Go to the field. So... what you ate before, isn't it the same crop that grows like this?"

Eddie: ...

Carl: ...

"Please don't say it, I want to throw up even more." Eddie covered his mouth and looked around, "No wonder it's so clean here... Ah, what are those two houses for? They still have people living so far away ?"

Norman glanced at the so-called house, and said, "That's what His Majesty researched and called a toilet, and everyone will go there for convenience. Your Majesty said, it's called a field where the fat doesn't flow to outsiders."

Eddie:! ! !

After living for 60 years, today can be regarded as an increase in knowledge!
