I'm working on infrastructure in the wizarding world

"Wow..." Kang Nan squatted in front of the chicken coop, looking at the group of chickens and ducks who were a little stressed because of the change of place, he was in such a good mood that he could dance a little apple.Although these chickens and ducks were different from the reed chickens and white duck ducks he had seen, they were also very fat and a little wild.

This is free-range chicken, free-range duck!It is more expensive than those broilers, and it can sell for tens of pounds per catty!

It's just that Kari, who just delivered food to the orcs guarding here, didn't seem very happy. She whispered: "Your Majesty, why are there so few geese? Does Lord Norman look down on us?"

"Ah?" Kang Nan called people over and asked them to build a chicken coop and a duck coop next to the west dormitory according to Kang Nan's request.As for the twenty big white geese, let them live in the square, and they can also guard the house.

When he finished his work, he turned his head to look at Carrie, "What do you look down on? What's wrong with the goose?"

Carrie said: "Olanka used to raise the most geese. They were big, and they were beautiful when baked on a plate, and the goose down could be used as a quilt and pillow. But now we have given [-] geese. Didn't we agree to cooperate?" ?”

Alas……

Connan blinked, feeling that Carrie was right.The rural area he lived in before raised few geese because everyone didn’t like to eat goose meat, because goose meat was expensive and rough compared to chicken.Even if it is goose down, there is already a special place for breeding, and goose down and duck down are used to make quilts or down jackets.But his mind has long been filled with silk and cotton, and the function of goose down has been abandoned.

But in this place now, geese are still a very important livestock product.

"Hey, won't there be various other livestock in the future? Besides, won't geese hatch into goslings after laying eggs? Don't worry." Connan comforted Carrie and asked her to go back to the kitchen to do other things, while he himself He strolled back to the front yard.

The new slaves have already been cleaned up halfway, and they all seem to be quite obedient.Aisha is talking to several Olanka people who have turned into civilians, and she should be conveying the matter of adopting children and caring for the elderly.

He grabbed someone casually and asked, "Did you see Norman?"

The man saluted respectfully: "Reporting to Your Majesty, Lord Norman took two mages out from the west."

west?Then you should go to see the crops in the field, right?

Just as he was about to leave, the man said again: "Your Majesty, didn't you say that magicians are not welcome in Olanka? Why..."

"It's not that you don't welcome them. I don't have any opinion when they come to work honestly. If they come here, they can't do anything." Kang Nan looked at the worried look on this man's face and said with a smile: "Are you What are you worried about?"

The man said: "Many people are now discussing whether we will have no jobs if the magician comes. Your Majesty said that even if we are slaves or commoners, we can create wealth for ourselves with our hands. But..."

"How come? At most let them do some work that you have no time to do, no magician can replace you, don't worry." Connan comforted his people, "Say to others, let Don't worry about them."

The man saluted again happily, and ran away happily.There were his companions in the distance, and several people gathered around talking about something, and they all looked very happy.

The magician's arrangement is really a problem.Kang Nan walked west while thinking, and sure enough, he saw Norman and the others in the distance.

Norman was still smiling, but the faces of the two mages looked a little blue.

"What's wrong?" Conan asked.

Norman said: "They are newcomers, and they are not used to Oulanka's planting methods, so His Majesty will see a joke."

Kang Nan glanced at the compost not far away, and said, "Sooner or later you have to get used to it, by the way, Norman, isn't geese very expensive now? Goose down or something..."

Norman immediately understood what he said, "Goose is indeed more valuable than chickens and ducks. Every three years, the orcs will have a goose down festival, which is to kill the geese that have been raised for many years in winter. The goose down, feathers and some goose meat They are sold to dignitaries from various countries who have already paid deposits. Olanka did not order goose down and goose meat last year. This year, the geese that need to be slaughtered have almost been ordered. The geese for His Majesty are bred by the dog family themselves. Twenty one-year-old geese. But these geese are ready to lay eggs, and in a few years Oulanka will be a country with many geese."

Kang Nan thought for a while and asked, "If the chickens, ducks and geese you sell are all slaughtered, then if you sell the eggs and duck eggs, aren't you afraid that they will hatch?"

Norman smiled and said: "Animal breeding is originally the pillar industry of the orcs. If anyone dares to incubate and breed without permission, the orcs will definitely go to deal with it when they find out, so these things are not worth mentioning."

This is called monopoly, if you dare to breed in private, I will give you a discount on your legs! !

Kang Nan laughed dryly, and said, "Then I got a big deal."

Norman said again: "And I don't think His Majesty will use too much goose down in the future, right? Lord Char's pillow is very soft, and there is no goose feather coming out."

Alas……

Kang Nan quickly said: "Hey, this is nothing, I will make a set for you later. It's just that you went back to your tribe before, and I don't know if you will like it."

Norman smiled, his eyes were full of light, "How can I not like what His Majesty did?"

He just couldn't stand Norman talking like this, so he said he was going to see Boiled Salt after a few casual sentences.

The word boiled salt was also very new to the two mages. They really didn't want to think too much about what they were eating, so they followed Kangnan to see boiled salt.

Andy turned on the stove and made iron pots all day long, but it took time to make a pot.It's just that those fragmentary ironware are gradually consumed, and it is estimated that there will not be a few pots.

So Kang Nan planned to quickly boil a batch of salt and send it to the dwarves to make a deal.

The salt water that had settled overnight was poured into the cauldron one spoon at a time. The firewood below was burning vigorously, and the salt water soon boiled.After part of the water evaporates, brine will continue to be added until white crystals appear in the pot, then stop adding water and concentrate on stirring.

After all the water evaporated gradually, what was left in the pot were pure white particles. Although it was not as crystal clear as refined by magic, it also did not have those impurities and bitter taste.

Eddie was very surprised. He even squeezed a pinch of salt and put it in the palm of his hand to observe carefully. Then he licked it again, and his eyes suddenly widened.

Norman said: "Surprised? Now Olanka's salt doesn't need magicians anymore, friend, if you don't think about it carefully, maybe you really won't be able to stay in Olanka."

Eddie is a little broken, and Carl is already Buddha.He had worked so hard and suffered so many crimes and even had to be vendettaed, but what he had learned was worthless in Olanka.

"But, but magic, magic is also very useful. For example, I can also burst spells. If a monster comes, I can drive it away!" Eddie tried to save himself.

Kang Nan looked at him suddenly, "Can you expel monsters? What level is it?"

Eddie suddenly became energetic, "My explosion spell is very powerful. Although I learned it secretly, it can already expel monsters of level [-] or below. I can even kill monsters of level [-] and level [-]! Sometimes there are no magic crystals. , I will secretly cooperate with the mercenary union and go to the forest to hunt low-level monsters to subsidize myself."

"Then he will?" Connan looked at Carl.

Eddie hurriedly said: "Because he has to flee this way, I also taught him. He has already figured out the way. As long as he is familiar with it, he can learn it. Karl is very smart!"

Kang Nan clenched his fist with his left hand and slammed it into the palm of his right hand, "Then I really thought of something you can do!"

"Luck, salt??" Eddie's eyeballs almost fell out of their sockets.

Kang Nan said: "Don't underestimate the salt transportation. Salt is the pillar industry of Oulanka. Now we only have seven carts including ox carts, but we have to arrange more than 20 people to escort them back and forth. Although this journey is considered safe, but Wild animals, big and small, can also cause us harm, after all, we are weak people without magic."

Eddie: "Huh?"

Kang Nan said again: "It doesn't rain much now. The coarse salt in the seaside salt field has accumulated, and it is urgent to transport it back in large quantities before it snows in winter. But after a while, it will be the autumn harvest. After the autumn harvest, various crops will be processed. Winter wheat Planting and building houses. We really can’t spare manpower. Now that you two magicians are here, naturally you can’t stand by and watch, right?”

Eddie: "Ah..."

Kang Nan said with a smile: "So you can be responsible for the transportation, and I will distribute it to five of you to drive together, so that I can save a lot of people."

Norman coughed and said, "Your Majesty, Eddie can also use magic to carry it."

Kang Nan laughed and said, "That would be even better? In this way, a few people in charge of loading the salt field can be freed up. Don't worry, we will bring you enough dry food for the road. Ah, I forgot to ask." , do you have any magic rings?"

Eddie touched his finger and said, "Yes...but there's not much room."

Kang Nan said: "Hey, it's okay, you can use the ring to store food, which can save time for cooking. I'm so happy that Olanka has you two magicians to help build it , I thank you for the people of Olanka!"

Eddie has gone silly.

Norman helped out from the side: "It's really great, so you don't have to worry about what to do in Olanka to stay in Olanka."

"That, that..." Eddie looked at the pot of white salt, and said weakly, "Actually, I can help purify the salt."

Kang Nan asked, "How much can you purify in a day?"

Eddie thought for a while and pointed to an iron pot, "It can purify half of this place... right?" After he finished speaking, he noticed that Connan and Norman's eyes were wrong, and suddenly felt like a mentally handicapped person.

Kang Nan said with a smile: "Good steel should be used on the blade. You have explosion magic, but it's just for purifying the salt. And if you see a beast while transporting salt, you can teach your friends to continue practicing magic, right? Yes, the beast remembers to bring it back to eat."

Eddie: ...

After forcibly arranging the work of the two magicians, Kang Nan asked the kitchen to steam more steamed buns for the magicians and those who will return to the saltworks tomorrow, so that they can remember to bring a group of people back when they come back, otherwise the "home" work Nobody did.

In the evening, the newly arrived slaves have been washed and moved into new rooms, and many old people and children have also been "adopted" out, leaving only over 20 years old. They are too old or lack arms and legs to do much. Alive.

Kang Nan let these [-] or so people live together in one or two dormitories, and they usually do some work such as washing and washing, or weaving mats and making brooms.They probably also knew that they might not be able to become civilians, so their mentality was very peaceful.Because His Majesty the King said that their food is managed by the state, and if others want the woven utensils, they need to exchange them for food, so that they can accumulate some surplus food for themselves to exchange for things in other people's hands.

Nowadays, there is a shortage of young and middle-aged people in Olanka. The three hundred or so slaves sent by Norman this time are not very old, and the oldest is only in their forties.It is said that this is a place where there is a war two countries away from Oulanka. Some slaves ran out and were taken advantage of by Norman.

It's just that the journey here was a bit far away, and it was damaged a bit. Although it's a pity, it's already very good.

The next day, Eddie drove the carriage to the salt field with despairing eyes, while the new slaves were all assigned the task of opening up wasteland.

Oulanka used to cultivate a large area of ​​land, but because of the shortage of manpower caused by the war, most of the land was abandoned for a year.In addition, it hadn't been properly conditioned before, and these abandoned lands were already a little green, covered with weeds and mixed with some shriveled grain plants.However, these grains were also eaten by all kinds of birds, leaving only empty poles, which were inconspicuous among the weeds.

Since the old man is leading the new man now, the slaves were all stunned when they learned about Olanka's benefits.Among them were native slaves, many civilians were degraded as slaves, and even many of them were captured soldiers who escaped with their slaves because they were injured and could not be driven to the battlefield by their masters. .

They originally wanted to find a place without magical beasts and live for a few years, or run far away to find a kind master, so that they would not be unable to eat every day.But who knew that the magic god opened his eyes and sent someone to point them to such a beautiful place.

At the beginning, there were more than 500 of them, but it was a long way. Those who ran away, were seriously injured and could no longer move, fell off the cliff or were swept away by the river, and there were too many who were seriously ill and could not be rescued. up.They wondered every night whether Olanka was really as beautiful as the orc said, or whether they would enter another oppressed place.

But there are not many choices for them.Fortunately, a few orc escorts came along the way, and the loss may not be more than the two hundred people.

Here, they saw a clean city, took a bath, changed into laundry, and ate an unforgettable meal.Although they could only eat boiled or baked potatoes at night, the bun at noon really made them drool just thinking about it.

Moreover, Olanka will also distribute land to the slaves, and half of the crops planted will be kept as their own!And there is no holy court and mage tower here, and they don't have to pay more heavy taxes!

Oh my god, how is this the treatment of slaves? This is obviously better than that of civilians, right?
