I'm working on infrastructure in the wizarding world

"I asked you to come here for a meeting." The room on the first floor that was originally used as a dance lounge was organized into a temporary living room. The original living room was on the second floor, but Kang Nan felt that it was too troublesome. There are so many vacant rooms, it's a pity not to use them.

The people he called were Aisha, the head of the maid, Emily the head of the kitchen, Andy the blacksmith, Bart the groom, Old Jack the cobbler, Amaru the head of the pottery, and Kerry the weaver.

These few people are either old people who have been staying with Kang Nan, or craftsmen raised from former slaves.After all, they had endured hardships together, and this group of people was very loyal to Kangnan, the kind of loyalty that would kneel in the direction of Kangnan's bedroom every day before going to bed.

"Sit down, sit down, it's not really important." Kang Nan looked at his old employees with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "In the beginning, we in Olanka only had the old, the weak, the sick, the disabled, and pregnant women. Whether you are left behind or you want to stay, I will take it as if you like staying in Olanka."

Bart was carefully sitting on the edge of the chair, but when he heard these words, he quickly stood up and said loudly, "Your Majesty, I really wanted to stay in Olanka! I, I can't bear those two horses!"

This is the truth, Kang Nan couldn't help laughing, and said: "Okay, I know, don't get excited. What I mean is... Thank you for your willingness to stay, Olanka's life is so hard now , but everyone..."

"No, no, it's not hard at all!"

"Yes Your Majesty, our life is better now than before!!"

"Your Majesty, let us do what you order! I am willing to do anything!"

Kang Nan quickly smiled and raised his hand to make a downward gesture to calm everyone down.He said: "I know, everyone cherishes this place very much, and now I really have something to do for everyone. In the past, no matter whether it was farming or doing anything, the big guys didn't have any special plans, and many things were rushed But now, I have set up a system, and please... Omaru, please read it to everyone."

Old Ford, the herbal doctor, went out to collect herbs early in the morning. He brought his two apprentices with him, and he was accompanied by the strong maid Leia, so he didn't need to come to this meeting for the time being.Apart from Old Ford, only Amaru knew more characters.

Amaru looked at the parchment carefully, and read softly: "Your Majesty, what you mean is that everyone here should choose suitable people from among the new slaves for temporary employment. After all, the population of Olanka has increased now. There are also more people, and there is a need for manpower everywhere. The people hired are stipulated what kind of work and how long to do every day. The cost of employment is half a catty of grain per day.

She raised her eyes to look at Emily, and said: "In the future, if everyone still needs to eat a big pot of rice, each person will hand over a catty of grain every five days to the treasury for management. If you cook by yourself, you can get it and store it in the warehouse every five days As for us... We will give half a catty of food as a reward every day, and the food will be issued by the treasury. The food can be replaced with vegetables, fruits, salt or cloth and other things."

Kang Nan writes in vernacular. After all, he has done poverty alleviation. He talks about production, making money, and life with fellow villagers. It is completely useless to use some official language, and it will make people contradict.After a long period of running-in, he learned all kinds of nagging, and encouraged fellow villagers to produce and work with a small amount of money, and finally reached the standard of becoming rich.

"The employment fee is half a catty of grain per day??" Aisha didn't understand, and she asked: "Hasn't His Majesty already been responsible for their food and drink? Why do you still need to give food?"

Kang Nan said with a smile: "Because after your selection, it will definitely become your arm in the future. In this way, it will let others see how good this position is, and they will work hard. And after hiring, they will delay their farming You will always be compensated for the time you spend."

Everyone nodded thoughtfully.

The few people working in the castle are okay, food, drink and clothing are all paid by the state, and Kangnan also said that they will give each of them [-] catties of grain as salary every month.Thirty catties of grain doesn't seem like much, but after all, food and clothing don't cost money, and it's not a small fortune to save up slowly.

As for the blacksmiths and cobblers, the main men in the family were busy with the work ordered by His Majesty, and went to work in the fields when they had no work.But as long as the work of His Majesty is completed, there will also be food, or blankets, clothes and other rewards as wages.

As for the group of people without craftsmanship, they basically stay in the farmland every day, and they will also ask those people to weed and catch insects on their fields, especially children.The monthly settlement is also based on grain.

Now food has temporarily replaced coins as Olanka's hard currency. After all, everyone is afraid of starvation.

After the meeting, Kang Nan walked out of the conference hall and found a plate of small apples on the table in the hall.

These apples are wild on the mountain. They are small in size and have rough skins. They taste sour and astringent, but the sweetness is still good.Olanka couldn't afford the fruit of the elves, and the seeds given by the elves before were no more than half-height small trees, and the only edible fruit was strawberries.

But strawberries are delicate, and if one is not taken care of well, the yield will decrease.Now the weather is warm and well-hydrated, and the sun is good too. I can pick a lot of strawberries one after another.But as soon as the temperature cools down, there is no greenhouse here, and the strawberries will be finished immediately.

Kang Nan is not in a hurry to build a greenhouse, he has to build the first civilian community first.

But now even such wild fruits as apples and peaches are picked for Kangnan to eat, and the rest are sun-dried and finally bitten by birds and insects. Divide and eat, just like this, I am reluctant to eat one at a time.Especially if there are old people and children at home, they will give the old people and children sweet mouths first, and then enjoy the rest.

Now it is still the era of big pot rice. After two years, the production will be stable, and everyone will have ample food in their hands. It is best to open up business routes, then the market can also be done.But these need to be subtle, and people's acceptance is not so high now, and if it is pushed too fast, it will easily lead to anticlimactic phenomena.

And the reason why he has built all the chicken coops and duck coops in the dormitory is also to give the elderly and disabled a chance to work.At this time, people have not yet had the idea of ​​muddling along, and no job will make them feel abandoned.Especially the people who were picked up by him in the two dormitories, they were full of fear every day, for fear that one day they would be treated as waste.

Connan's policy plan was quickly spread, and now the people of Oulanka are divided into two parts, one part is the group of slaves who have followed Connan through the most difficult period, and they can enjoy using their own labor In exchange for a delicious big pot of rice.One batch was the new slaves. Although they also ate big pot meals, they basically ate simple meals like boiled potatoes and vegetable soup.But every ten days, there will be more meat in their rice bowls, and this is their happiest day.

In order to be favored by His Majesty the King, the new slaves are very motivated every day, hoping that one day they can move out of the dormitory and live in a community with a two-story building next to it.It was a small building on the second floor, with a front and back yard, a warehouse upstairs and people living downstairs.You can also ask the king for some vegetable seeds to plant in the yard, and you can even exchange grain with the king after harvesting the vegetables!

Because as long as they are slaves, no one will treat them as human beings.Many young slaves were forced to have children to replenish new slaves.So they have lived a life of not having enough to eat and not to wear warm for generations.

But when I came to Oulanka, I suddenly felt that this is the most sacred place!

Kang Nan is not afraid that these slaves will have different intentions, because the slaves are still very easy to control. The people at the bottom of this society are very large, and many people have lost their resilience, and some even really don’t think of themselves as human beings. look.But as long as they are given a little sunshine and rain, they will strive to seize the opportunity and let themselves thrive.

What Kangnan needs most now is their gratitude and loyalty to him.Moreover, he is now a king, the highest-ranking person in Olanka, with a dragon guard beside him, who can decide a person's life or death with a single sentence.It is precisely because of this that the slaves will not have any dissent at all.

The weather started to cool down, but Landis hadn't come back yet, so he didn't know where he went to collect things.Coarse salt from the seaside saltworks was brought back in a steady stream, and the boiled fine salt was filled with sacks one by one.Kang Nan once again woke up Char, who slept late every day.

"In exchange for some iron ore and coal," Kang Nan said, "Actually, I originally wanted those two magicians to go, but there may be people who know them on the way from here to the dwarves' territory, which is a bit dangerous. So this I can only trouble you this time, Lord Charle."

Charl spewed a burst of hot air from his nose, and said with a fake smile: "Your Majesty Charle is when you need it, and you are Lord Charle when you don't need it. Your Majesty really does whatever he wants."

"Next year's spring tea..." Kang Nan took out his trump card.

Char is obsessed with drinking tea. Although summer tea is not as good as spring tea, it is also more fragrant than the tea he roasted himself.Yes, the dragon Char once secretly picked some tender tea and roasted it himself, but it turned into dry leaves that were not fragrant at all.

He turned over and sat up, humming: "Don't you use magic? If I go, I will use magic."

Kang Nan was surprised and said: "This is saying, there is no holy court and mage tower in Olanka, but the dragon clan swears. Of course, I like this oath very much, but I don't reject magic. Magic is so powerful. Isn't it important? During this time, even Karl's explosion technique is much more proficient than before. It can be seen that it is good not to waste magic on cleaning."

Seeing that Char is still reluctant, after all, the dragon is lazy, wishing to sleep all day long, as long as it doesn't affect their sleep, they won't move even if there is a lot of noise outside.Kang Nan sighed, and said, "Without ore, we can't make pots, and without pots, we can't burn kangs for heating. If they can't get warm, they still have to live downstairs in winter. Now there are 300 more people, chattering every day... "

Char rolled his eyes, stood up and said, "Okay, I'll just go."

Kang Nan said with a smile: "Then I will trouble Mr. Charles. After I form an army, I will be able to let the army trade in the past."

Also form an army?

Char thought to himself that even if you send all these hundreds of people out, they won't be able to withstand the beating of a dozen mercenaries.But he still didn't want to dampen the little king's confidence, after all he wasn't Landa.

As soon as he thought of Landis, he heard Kang Nan talking to himself: "I don't know where Lord Landis has gone? Lord Char, do you have any news about Landis?"

"No! He might think you're annoying..." As soon as he said this, Charl keenly noticed that Norman's breath was not far away, so he changed his words bluntly: "I was afraid that you would be long-winded, so I flew far away The place wants to help you find more things. You are also in trouble, the seeds exchanged by the elves are not enough for you to eat!"

Kang Nan smiled apologetically, and followed Charle downstairs.

The sack as high as a mountain was put into the ring by Charles with a wave of his hand, and then the red dragon spread its wings and glides out of the gate of the castle with a light wave, soaring directly into the sky, turning into a huge dragon!

He glanced back, not at Kang Nan, but at Norman.

Now the only person in the castle who is capable is Norman. This little dog will not hurt Connan, but he didn't keep an eye on him, for fear of speaking ill of Landa again.

Norman saluted him with the same smile on his face, and then watched the dragon fly away.

Norman's entourage lived here for a long time, and taught Bart how to feed chickens, ducks and geese, and how to treat them if they were sick, and then left happily with the recipe for steamed buns.

He found that Olanka was very poor, but her cooking skills were very good.Especially this steamed stuffed bun, which seems to be able to wrap all the vegetables and meat in the soft dough, and it doesn't taste dry and rough like bread, but with a delicious soup.

In addition to buns, there are also dumplings, noodles, and big steamed buns that can be eaten with pickles. The pickles are salty, fragrant and crispy, and I don’t know how they are pickled!It's a pity that His Majesty the King only gave the method of making buns, saying that if you want other things, you have to exchange them with other things.After staying for less than a month, his stomach has grown a layer of fat.

Ah, I really want to move to Olanka.

Coarse salt is still being transported back, but the work of boiling salt has stopped, because the salt reserves are temporarily sufficient.Kangnan planned to save more firewood and let them cook salt by the way when the kang was burned in winter, without delay.

The day after Char left, Landis came back.

In fact, the first person who found out that Landis was back was not Kang Nan, nor anyone in Olanka, but Candy who went out to run and play freely every day, and then came back to eat and sleep.This pink unicorn, with the same temper as his master, was eating the vegetables specially provided by the elves, suddenly raised his head to look at the sky, then let out a melodious cry, and ran eastward.

Kang Nan was having dinner when he saw Anda rushing in, and said, "Your Majesty, the candy ran away after eating half of it... Well, I don't know why it ran away, won't it be lost?"

"Don't worry, Candy is very smart." Kang Nan put down the pie in his hand, looked at the two surprised magicians at the table, and said, "Candy is the unicorn in the backyard, you know it? The owner is also a dragon. Ah, could it be that Landis is back?"

Speaking of dragons, Eddie the Wizard is even more restless.Because of the incident with Olanka, the Dragon Clan especially hated the people and magicians of the Holy Court.Because after they came, Mr. Char never showed a good face.But at any rate, they don't spend much time in the castle because they transport salt every day.I just brought back a batch of salt today, and I have been busy until now before I can eat a mouthful of warm rice.

Why is there another dragon?

How many dragons are guarding Olanka?

Kang Nan finished the pie in his hand in three bites, and said to Norman: "I think it's time to come back, and it will be cold in a few days later. By the way, the last batch of salt will not go. The coarse salt can be boiled for a whole winter. I’ll go outside to meet him, otherwise he will be upset when he sees us eating leisurely here.”

After hearing this, Norman couldn't eat the pie in his hand.He laughed dryly, and said, "Your Majesty understands His Excellency Landis' thoughts."

"If you hold it like a princess, you'll know what he's thinking." Kang Nan laughed, raised his legs and walked out.

When the princess holds it? ?

Norman bit his lip, not knowing what Kang Nan meant.

It is said that Kang Nan will also get married in the future, and the best marriage partner is a princess or prince from other countries.After all, there is only one position as a queen. It doesn't matter whether you can have children or not, what matters is the strength of the marriage partner.How many children will I have if I marry more women in the future?

It was precisely because of this that he had an idea, first to see if Kang Nan looked like the descendant of Olanka in the oath, and then try to find a way to occupy the position of queen.The orc clan looks powerful, but in fact, there is nothing they can do.Except for animal husbandry, most orcs have gone out to be mercenaries.

If Kangnan can really lead Olanka to become stronger, then he is the best candidate for the marriage of the orcs.

But who knew that Landis suddenly appeared here and awakened the dragon blood!This guy who didn't deal with him at all had already hated each other when he was in the holy court, and now he lives in the queen's room confidently, and is treated as a princess by Kang Nan...

Don't you have no chance at all?

Eddie ate the pie, wiped his hands with a cloth towel, and looked at Norman with a bad expression, "Norman, why don't we go out to greet him?"

Norman opened his mouth, then sighed heavily, and said, "Go, after all, His Majesty brought out the dragon with his own hands, maybe it's really just a princess."

The human race didn't know what the oath was about. Hearing what Norman said now, he only felt that the words were a little weird, but he didn't think too much.

Several ancient races would never marry humans, because they had a long lifespan, and some were born with magic and special abilities, so they looked down on weak humans very much.So Eddie just thinks that Norman and Conan have a good relationship, but he never thinks that Norman is trying to please Connan because he wants to get married.

Connan didn't notice the thoughts of the people behind. He just ran out of the castle hall when he heard the unique running sound of unicorns, and then a dazzling figure rushed in from the gate.

The slaves and civilians were eating in the square. The old man saluted Landis one after another and called Lord Landis in his mouth.But the newcomers stared straight at each other.

There is no way, because they have never seen such a beautiful and dazzling person, and they forgot to salute for a moment, just watching Landis riding that beautiful unicorn that is said to have a particularly bad temper. At the gate of the castle.

"Your Excellency Landis, you are back." Connan's eyes swept around the ring on his finger, his face was full of joy.

Landis stretched out his hand and pulled Conan into his arms and hugged him vigorously. Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly raised his head and stared at the gate of the castle, "No wonder there is a bad smell. Why did there appear to be a magician here? Or two? Where did Uncle Char go?"

Eddie:? ? ?

Where does it stink?We also take a shower every day now, shall we? ?
