I'm working on infrastructure in the wizarding world

When the sun slowly moved one grid on the sundial, Kang Nan rang the winding bell.The on-the-spot marking made the candidates howl. This exam has carved an indelible shadow on their pure souls.

Amaru has become a teaching assistant because she can write and do simple arithmetic, and has been assigned a new class alone.Old Ford can prove the same reason, and he is also relatively busy. From time to time in winter, he cooks pots of ginger soup and dark antipyretics that people can't avoid, but they can't refuse. devil.

Now No. [-] is Eddie, because Connan gave him the blame for proposing the "policy" of the exam, which caused him to change from the unpretentious magician who everyone likes, who is willing to teach everyone how to read and count, and has a very gentle temper. It has become an existence that everyone can't wait to walk around when they see it, shoulder to shoulder with old Ford.

The top ten in the test are evaluated according to the correct rate, the content of the small composition and the neatness of handwriting.The top ten examination papers will be exhibited in the east hall for ten days, and each person will get a large pot of fish scale jelly made by His Majesty the King and a small jar of fruit wine.These two new types of food made people very happy. After all, His Majesty the King has the ability to turn things that people don't know can be eaten into delicious food, which greatly reduces the chance of starvation and enriches everyone's dining table.This is a good life that they couldn't even dream of before, but who knows that it has come true one by one now.

As a teacher, Eddie announced the news of the ten-day holiday under Connan's signal.Although the students had no idea about the holiday, they still cheered wildly.He has a face that doesn't care what he is, as long as he doesn't take the exam.

But soon, Eddie bit the bullet and continued to say that there will be a quiz in ten days, to prove that everyone has not forgotten what they have learned within ten days.Immediately received the shocked faces from the students.

The exam has become a mountain on the heads of the people of New Olanka!And His Majesty the King didn't care, and applauded with a smile.

What is there to applaud!

The people applauded in dismay, with expressionless faces.

Kang Nan secretly laughed twice, and stood on the podium carrying his dragon.It is said that the podium is just a raised piece, a table is placed in front of it, and a painted slate is hung behind it.Even teachers can only use charcoal pens.

He raised his hand as a gesture, and said with a smile: "Now, New Olanka has been established for a year, and everyone's life has been greatly improved. As your king, I am very pleased!"

This time the applause was much warmer than before. The improvement of the lives of the people of Olanka this year is obvious to all. Looking at the clean clothes on their bodies and touching their full stomachs, everyone smiled.

Kang Nan pressed his hands, made a quiet movement, and continued: "So tomorrow is a ten-day holiday, but, for these ten days, I plan to arrange a new holiday entertainment for everyone! Not just the people of New Olanka You can participate, even slaves can participate! The food you get, everyone has a share!"

Everyone was shocked. What is the concept of everyone having a share?Even when Oulanka was in its heyday, the various flower festivals and magic festivals, although ordinary people could get a little reward from the powerful, it was nothing more than a glass of milk and a piece of white bread.But not the slaves, who still had to do hard work when all were celebrating, and any pleasure and joy had nothing to do with them.

The person who eavesdropped outside the classroom was also shocked. He couldn't help but trot to the dormitory to announce the good news to everyone.

The slaves in the dormitory were also shocked, "Really? Everyone has a share? The things His Majesty gave are all good things!" The delicious smell of food coming out of the kitchen every day can almost hook their souls Let's go, although I can drink broth occasionally, it is much worse than ordinary people.The common people here eat much better food than the dignitaries they have seen before!

"The king should send someone to announce this, and he will! This king is very benevolent, and what he said will definitely come true." The eavesdropping person rubbed his hands excitedly, "It's a new festival, The king said that in New Olanka, if we can become citizens of this place in the future, wouldn’t we be from New Olanka? God of magic, I, I must become a citizen of New Olanka!”

It was Aisha, the head maid, and Bart, the head servant, who informed the slaves of the news.The two of them are serious inner court officials of Olanka now, and when others see them, they must salute.

After being notified by the two supervisors, the slaves in the West Hall were also shocked.Although they don't have enough to eat now, they won't starve to death either.His Majesty's attitude towards them was not as good as that of civilians, not even the slaves who arrived a few months earlier than them.However, His Majesty the King said that they need to work for three years, and those who work particularly well after three years will have the opportunity to become civilians.If you are lucky, you might be able to have a small official position like Amaru old Ford.

This is simply a huge temptation for them, as long as they think about it, their blood boils, and they are not afraid of the cold weather.

What's more, they are also eligible to participate in the new festival in Oulanka.Great God of Magic, what an honor this is!

It's just that when everyone was jubilant, several of them looked at each other.If everyone goes to the festival, then the supervision of the dungeon will probably be loosened. Then they can find a chance to touch down and try to rescue the Viscount.As long as they leave this ghostly place and find the Viscount's ring, they can regain their honor and wealth!

Kang Nan arranged for dozens of people to clean up the underground warehouse.There are two floors underground in the castle. The first floor is dedicated to storing cloth, food and various utensils. In addition to the inside of the castle, there is also a secret passage from the small garden outside.However, the secret passage was temporarily sealed by Kang Nan. He didn't have so many people guarding the warehouse.

In addition to the dungeon, the second floor has another space, which also has a separate door to enter.It was the former treasure room of the king of Olanka, which was once filled with all kinds of wealth looted. Later, when they escaped from Olanka, they took all the money with them, not a single copper coin was left behind.

Now Kang Nan is directing people to clean up the warehouse and spread straw, intending to store ice.

The summer in Oulanka is still quite hot and humid. If Kang Nan is in his own room, the room will be very comfortable because of the magic stone to adjust the temperature.But it was really unbearable outside, it was so hot and stuffy.Although most of the houses in Oulanka are built of stones, the walls of stone houses are thick, so they are warm in winter and cool in summer.It's just that people always want to eat something cold when they come back from outside.He stored ice to freeze some jams and fruit cold drinks, or to distribute them as rewards to his people during the hottest time to cool down the house.

In the new year, he has already arranged a lot of work.

First of all, wells should be dug in residential areas.Oulanka used to drink water. Only the rich and powerful could use well water. Commoners and slaves could only drink stream and river water, and they didn’t know how to boil it. Most of them drank cold water. Many people had gastrointestinal problems and parasitic infections because of the cold water. , In the end, there was no money to treat the dead.

Now the big pot of rice is basically well water, and the common people will come to the castle well to pick up water in winter, which is very troublesome.So he has to dig wells, at least three wells, two in the residential area and one in the slave dormitory.

Then arrange new slave quarters.There are not many stone resources, and it is too dangerous to go up the mountain to quarry. The existing stone materials are only intended to continue to build civilian communities and future commercial areas, and they are reluctant to build dormitories for slaves.However, even if stone is not used, adobe bricks can also be used.Building a house with adobe bricks is fast, and the slave dormitories are temporary preparations for Kangnan. Maybe there will be no more slaves in Olanka in the future, and those adobe brick dormitories can be bulldozed.

And he also planned to let Ah Wan test whether he could burn bricks. If they could burn bricks, they would no longer have to go to the mountains to quarry stones to build a house.

There is also spring rush.The so-called preemptive spring is to raise seedlings in advance. Before the sting of sting, some crops are raised in advance, and then planted directly in the ground, which can save a lot of time, so that they can harvest in advance and plant the second crop of grain.Raising seedlings in advance requires a room with a suitable temperature, a seedling rack and a nursery, and these Conan are ready.Whether it is an empty community house or an empty castle house, it can be used to raise seedlings in advance.

Then there are the livestock that the orcs will send.Now the castle is surrounded by farmland, and even some low hills and hills have been transplanted with fruit trees.It is okay to raise chickens and ducks, but it is not good to raise sheep, because sheep like to gnaw bark, and if a group of sheep are thrown into it, his seedlings will be transplanted in vain.Therefore, he planned to develop the Lord's Mansion closest to here as a livestock base.But whoever is transferred needs to be carefully studied and considered, not everyone is suitable to go to a new place to open up.

He will raise silkworms and grow cotton on a large scale next year.I hope that the new year will not let his people suffer from cold and cold.

Last but not least is the new sauce research.Next year, soybeans, broad beans, and peanuts will be planted in large quantities. Soybeans are soybeans, which can be used to make yellow sauce, soy sauce, and various soybean products.Broad beans can be made with chili to make bean paste. Anyway, their country produces salt, so you don’t have to worry about making all the sauces that need salt.Although peanuts can also be squeezed for oil, but he just wants to eat them.

On such a cold day, watching the warm stove, it doesn’t feel like spending the winter without eating some fried peanuts and roasted sweet potatoes!It doesn’t matter about sunflowers, you can plant a few in the sky, and you can also plant them in the yard at home. It is the most suitable snack for cats to kill time.

Next year, food needs to be solved, clothing needs to be solved, and housing needs to be solved.It is also necessary to build a road from here to the nearest lord's mansion, and turn that side into a breeding base.On the main city of Oulanka, only the original houses where the rich and powerful lived were kept intact, and the incomplete ones were all demolished, and the residential and commercial areas were redesigned.These things have to be planned slowly, but now he has changed from five hundred people to two thousand people, and the manpower is enough to become a big village, which can carry out larger-scale breeding and construction.

Time passed slowly amidst people's excited discussions. Early the next morning, Kang Nan got out of the warm bed, and brought his Second General Hum Ha... no, with his dragon and Norman, the two The magic teacher, Charle, who was too lazy to eat and sleep, and everyone in the castle went to the river with tools.

But soon, a few people sneaked out of the team and returned to the castle in a secretive manner.

Norman whispered in Kangnan's ear, and Kangnan said: "At this time, I have discovered the benefits of magic." Because he had already asked Norman to set up a magic circle in the dungeon, not only can he monitor the movement of the dungeon , and let those few people never return.Don't you want to go to the dungeon?Once you're in, don't come out.

The surface of the river that was dug up last time had already been frozen solid again. We worked in a group of ten, including those who cut ice, those who dragged ice and loaded it into the truck, those who sent it back, those who caught fish, and those who loaded fish.It was the first time for the big guys to participate in a group activity with so many people. They were so excited. Even the slaves who wore less clothes didn’t feel too cold. covered in sweat.

The ice on the river surface was opened, and countless large fish nets glowing with silver light jumped into the nets and were thrown on the ice while people laughed out loud.

They had forgotten how many trips back for ice and how many trips for fish.When they finally returned to the main city exhausted, dozens of large pots had already been set up in the square, half of which were boiling ginger soup with sugar in it!

The hot, spicy and sweet ginger soup dispelled the coldness on their bodies, and Kang Nan asked them all to go back and change their wet clothes, and come back to the square to help.

Countless big fish are piled up like a mountain, and almost everyone is busy for this "Harvest Festival" in New Olanka.The women scraped the fish, mixed with minced bacon and soaked dried vegetables and mushrooms to make steamed buns stuffed with meat, and the men skillfully scraped the scales, dug out the gills, divided the internal organs, and cut the fish.Some people collected fish and fish scales to clean, and some people cut the fish meat into strips or pieces for cooking later.

Kang Nan opened the warehouse, and baskets of sweet potatoes, potatoes, and pumpkins were brought out, boiled in hot water, stirred into mud, fried into cakes in an oil pan, and baskets of salt and pepper were sprinkled on the side.The iron mesh grill was also set up, and the huge fish was divided into two, and it was grilled on the charcoal fire, sizzling and oily.

With food, Charlton was not lazy any longer, he flew out and caught a monster and came back. The fresh and tender animal meat was hammered into a meat paste, seasoned and fried into meatballs, and the aroma rushed straight to his forehead!

The ready food was brought into the warm East Room, all the tables were set, and all the fireplaces were lit.Food is placed in baskets, huge dustpans, steamers, and vats.Steamed, stewed, boiled, grilled, fried, fish and meat, staple food and soup, the whole hall is filled with everything!

The fruit wine was carried down one jar after another, and everyone got a glass of sweet and sour fruit wine, even a child could taste it, and then squinted their eyes from the alcohol, and burst out laughing.Although everyone has different tableware, they can take whatever they want to eat.Everyone's bowls and plates were piled high with food.They took turns saluting Kangnan, offering their respect and loyalty.

In the end, I don’t know who took the lead. The big guys who had eaten and drank sang and danced around the table. The dance was twisted and twisted, but they sang songs that everyone knew by heart.

"...I am in the beautiful Oulanka~ There are mountains, rivers and streams here~ There are also countless fields, which are all gifts from His Majesty the King~I am in the beautiful Oulanka~There are corn, wheat and sorghum here~ Your Majesty taught We make delicious food~I love Olanka~”

Kang Nan was a little drunk, and he ran down and danced wildly for a long time, and was dragged back to the main position by Aisha and the others. Finally, he couldn't control himself, and hugged the little black dragon's head and kissed wildly.

The little black dragon was so stunned that he forgot to push away this guy who smelled of oily smoke and alcohol all over his mouth, and the oily flower on his forehead was rubbed like this, and his scales lit up several degrees.

Norman watched them interact, his eyes darkened slightly, and finally sighed leisurely, picked up the wine glass and touched Eddie.This fruit wine tastes sour and sweet, but it has a really strong aftertaste.Although others can't let go of drinking, Kang Nan and his guests can drink to their full.The result was a group of people staggering around, Charle went upstairs grabbing two wine jars, and Norman turned into a big golden retriever, holding a plate of meatballs and gnawing madly.Eddie and Carl screwed together, crying and laughing, finally sizzle.

Aisha: ...

I don't know why, it's funny and annoying!

In the end, Kang Nan didn't know when the banquet ended. He only remembered that he was hugged in a warm embrace, staggered upstairs, and finally lay on the familiar soft bed.

"idiot."

The familiar voice made him wave his hands impatiently, "I'm not an idiot, I'm a king, I'm a poverty alleviation cadre, I'm amazing."

The white magic light swept across Kang Nan's body, removing his messy smell.But even so, the little king's clothes were disheveled, the headband of his hair was unknowingly undone, and the curly hair on his head exploded unscrupulously, like a shriveled dandelion.

"Idiot," scolded again, and rubbed his cold fingers against Kang Nan's lips, "You are not allowed to drink alcohol in the future, you know? I hate the smell of alcohol the most, it stinks to death!"

Kang Nan grumbled, he turned over, pouted his buttocks and let out a sound of sleeping snoring.

"I won't drink anymore," His Majesty the hangover stared, his head was buzzing with pain, and he yelled for Aisha to help him cook a bowl of hangover soup.There are sun-dried hawthorns and green plums in the warehouse, add some sugar and white radish to cook a bowl thickly, pinch your nose and drink it, and you will be sober in an instant.

"Did I drink too much last night?" Kang Nan held his forehead, looked at Aisha who was holding back his laughter, and said hi, "Did something ugly happen?"

Aisha looked around and said in a low voice: "I just found out that the little black dragon was transformed by Her Majesty the Queen, no wonder you hold it every day, Your Majesty."

Connan:? ? ?

Aisha smiled and said, "Yesterday, Your Majesty, you drank too much, and it was Her Majesty the Queen who carried you upstairs."

Connan:! ! !

"He's not..." His Majesty the King struggled.

Aisha nodded quickly and said: "Yes, no, anyway, Lord Landis carried you upstairs. It was originally Bart who wanted to carry His Majesty on his back, but Lord Landis didn't let us touch His Majesty."

Connan: ...

A famous name in one life is destroyed in one day!

He never drinks again!Why is this body's alcohol tolerance so low!He had only had a few cups...a few bowls...well, not much fruit wine anyway.How much alcohol can wine made from fruit have?Isn't it a drink?

Connan tried his best to change the subject, "What about Norman and the others?"

Aisha said: "Lord Norman was finally carried upstairs by Bart and a few others. Eddie and Mr. Carl were also carried on the back. They held hands when they were carried on the back. It was so sweet. By the way, Your Majesty, check Your lord seems to be... in the wine cellar."

Connan:? ? ?

He stood up quickly, and ran towards the wine cellar holding his dizzying head. Before he got close, he heard a loud snoring sound, and a huge red dragon tail stretched out from the door of the wine cellar.

"My fruit wine!!!" Kang Nan wailed bitterly, his wine, the only fruit wine in his cellar! ! ! !The fucking wine jars are all broken, there's not a single drop left! !

"Charle, you are finished! You are going to sell yourself to me for the rest of your life!!!!"

The red dragon hiccupped loudly, and with a flick of its tail, Kang Nan was thrown out of the door.

Kang Nan staggered and stood firmly against the wall, his heart was bleeding, "Your spring tea is gone! It's gone!!"

Everyone should have been arguing very late yesterday, and with the holidays, the main city has rarely become quiet.However, the internal affairs officers have no time to rest. Except for Aisha who gets up early, Bart and Andy also take the slaves to feed horses, candies, chickens, ducks and geese.Emily took out the leftover food from last night and stewed it, and distributed it to the slaves, letting them have another meal full of oil and water.

After Kang Nan ate a small bowl of potato soup, he couldn't take it anymore. The hangover soup could not completely save his head and stomach. If he ate too much, he was afraid that he would vomit it out.

"By the way, didn't you deliver food to the subordinates yesterday?" He asked.

Aisha shook her head and said, "Didn't your majesty say that we didn't care about it yesterday, so we didn't arrange for anyone to go there?"

Kang Nan originally planned to go there by himself, but he was afraid that the other party would be able to use magic. He is not a reckless person.So he turned and walked upstairs, and Eddie Carr or Norman picked up any one, as long as it could give him courage.

Eddie and Carl were sleeping soundly, and a quilt that big couldn't cover the bruises on Eddie's neck.

Connan: ...

He really didn't expect Eddie to be the one at the bottom. He always thought that this guy had abducted the pure male college... Uh, the little magician, it was the one at the top.

After closing the door awkwardly, Kang Nan didn't dare to go to Landis and went straight to Norman's room.As a result, as soon as he stood at the door, Landis' door opened.

"Good morning, Your Majesty the King."

Connan: ...

He turned his head and shook his hand at Landis, "Mr. Landis, good morning." Thinking that he was carried upstairs by the other party yesterday, and he also remembered that he had drunk too much and hugged the little black dragon's head for a meal Nibbled, almost bald.Seeing the rightful lord now, he couldn't help but glance over Landis's head.

Fortunately, the hair is thick and smooth, and it has not been irreparably damaged by itself.

"You have something to do with Norman?" Landis asked, but it sounded like he was gnashing his teeth.

Kang Nan was keenly aware of the danger, and changed his nod into shaking his head, "No, it's okay, I'm passing by. Haha, I just want to go to the dungeon..."

Landis walked over elegantly, stretched out his hand to Kang Nan, and said, "It just so happens that I also plan to go to the dungeon to have a look. If the magic fails, His Majesty will be in trouble if he is injured."

Just as Kang Nan was about to say something, he noticed that the door behind him was pulled open.

Norman's smiling voice sounded, "Good morning Your Majesty the King, good morning Your Excellency Landis. I plan to go to the dungeon to see if my magic works. Will Your Majesty come with me?"

Connan: ...

Mom, I want to go home! ! !
