I'm working on infrastructure in the wizarding world

Mansha couldn't help laughing seeing how cute the elf dragon Landis, who usually doesn't pay much attention to orcs, turned into a cub.

The little black dragon glanced over and felt that Mansha was laughing at him, so he bared out his mouth and threatened fiercely.

Mansha suppressed a smile and said, "Your Excellency Landis is really smart, powerful and beautiful."

The little black dragon blinked his eyes, pondered for a while with his not very bright mind, and nodded in satisfaction.

Yes, he is strong, beautiful, and very smart!

Kang Nan patted the little black dragon's forehead with a smile, pinched the little curly horns, "Okay, I've been making noise all day, sit down and eat."

With a groan, the little black dragon sat back on the chair, holding the fritters in his little paws and chewing with satisfaction.

Mansha coughed lightly and said, "Your Majesty, are you really planning to take some orcs here?"

Kang Nan added a spoonful of sugar to Xiao Heilong's soy milk, nodded and said, "That's true. Olanka doesn't have any holy courts and mage associations, so it's actually safe. But I don't dare to buy too much If slaves from other countries attract the attention of other countries, it will not be a good thing for Olanka, which is still developing. But the orcs and dwarves are different. They don't like the Holy Court and the Mages Association in the first place, so it is more appropriate talent acquisition."

"Talent introduction?" A table of people couldn't help looking up at Kang Nan when they heard this new word.

Kang Nan nodded and said: "Actually, Oulanka's geographical location is very good. Here there are four distinct seasons and rich products. As long as you have a good relationship with your neighbors, it is not impossible to make a country that accommodates all races and develop together. Here, as long as You can earn what you want by working hard. Basically, everyone is equal, without exploitation and oppression. I have been observing for the past few days. Aunt Mansha, the two children you brought are very well-behaved and lovely, and they are deeply loved by Oran Kazi people like it. If all orcs are like this, then I sincerely hope that some orcs can move to Oulanka to live."

He thought for a while, and then said: "Maybe in a few decades, there will be other races in Olanka besides the human race. Everyone will mix and live together. There will be no black market trading or harm. It will be fun, that would be great."

The situation he described silenced everyone.

The major races are actually not very harmonious with each other. The dragon race stands at the top, a powerful existence, and looks down on all other races.The elves are even more like people from outside the world, all of them are beautiful and elegant, but they also look down on the dirty dwarves and orcs, and even disdain most of the ugly demons.The demons can't provoke the dragons, they also look down on the elves who look at people with their nostrils all day long, and they don't like the rough and reckless orcs and dwarves.Similarly, the orcs and dwarves don't like the elves and demons who are pretending all day long, and they don't like each other very well.

As for the human race, in the eyes of all the ancient races, they are dirty and greedy existences, and they don't want to contact them at all except for some transactions.

But Olanka is different.

Mansha blinked, smiled, and she said: "You should ask me about this matter, if you ask Norman, then he needs to send a letter back, call a few big orc tribe leaders to discuss, consider various situations, in the end it may not be possible I can be sure. But on my side, I really know some orcs who are suitable for Olanka."

Norman looked over in surprise, "Aunt Mansha, this is..."

Mansha shook her head and said: "I have been wandering around for so many years, and I have seen many low-level orcs. They are not living well. While they have to rely on strong orcs, they also have to beware of human capture. Especially those who were rescued The orcs who came back, most of them couldn't integrate into the orc tribe, they have been very marginal."

Norman's face was not very good-looking, he said: "That's because they..."

"Norman, not everyone who has experienced that kind of thing can face it bravely like you, stand up strong, and then fight back hard. They are more because of watching their brothers, sisters, parents and relatives. Death is already on the verge of collapse." Mansha sighed, and said: "So if they can come to Oulanka to live, they don't need to be attached to anyone here, but they can eat their stomachs as long as they work hard. Should be willing."

Norman lowered his eyes and said after a long while, "So I really like living in Oulanka."

Mansha smiled and said: "The leader also knows that he also hopes that you will have a good life, especially now..." She glanced at Andris, who didn't seem to understand, and then set her gentle eyes on Norman again. On the body, "Sometimes, you should also learn to relax. It may be better to kick things to some people."

Andris seemed to have thought of something, he suddenly grabbed Norman's hand, his face was extremely dark.

Norman patted his hand reassuringly, and said to Mansha: "Since Auntie Mansha thinks it's okay, let's try it. If they can really live comfortably in Olanka, I will propose to the leader that it will be more suitable."

Connan was smart enough not to ask what happened to Norman, and it didn't seem like a pleasant experience.He pretended not to care, and fed the steamed eggs to the little black dragon with a big bowl.

The steamed chicken cake is golden and tender, with chopped shellfish and shrimp inside, it tastes delicious.The little black dragon opened his bow left and right, ate a steamed egg, drank sweet soy milk, scooped a spoonful of tofu nao, ate a mouthful of deep-fried dough sticks, and his cheeks bulged.

But when Mansha and Norman discussed this matter, Carol lowered her eyes slightly.He felt that this incident was a bit ridiculous. It was obvious that it was human beings who hurt them, but now they suddenly wanted to send the hurt people to the human country.And at a certain moment, he was also a little moved.

He witnessed Olanka grow from nothing to extremely powerful, and then plunged Olanka into the abyss because of the greed of his descendants.If it weren't for the existence of that oath, then there would be no trace of Olanka in this world.

But Conan Leman, the little king they never looked down upon, rebuilt Olanka bit by bit. Not only did he rebuild it, but he even signed a long-term cooperation with the orcs and elves.This was completely impossible before, because no one was willing to sign such a cooperation with the human king.

But Conan did it.

Now they were just sitting in the living room having breakfast, but he could clearly hear the people of Olanka outside, or the slaves were happily greeting each other, working happily, without any signs of distress.You must know that he came here after Kang Nan just became the king of Olanka. At that time, those people were still huddled in the dilapidated side hall, wearing clothes that were handed out, searching for the rags abandoned by others, and eating potatoes to eat enough. Thank you so much.

This is only two short years.

What will Oulanka look like in five, ten, or 20 years?He suddenly realized that he didn't dare to think that far, because he couldn't imagine it at all.

If the orcs can get a better recuperation here, can the elves also try it?

After discussing with Mansha, Norman decided to send a group of people to try.There shouldn't be too many of these people. Too many people might make Olanka poor. After all, orcs have a lot of food.But it can't be too little. If it's too little, there won't be any effect. The changes of a dozen or so individuals won't have much influence.

Mansha looked at Kangnan again, and said, "If I can send about a hundred orcs over, can you arrange them here?"

Kang Nan thought for a while, nodded and said: "About a hundred or so words can be arranged at any time. It just so happens that a group of slaves have turned into civilians and moved into the houses in the community, and there are many dormitories vacant. You can let your people I live in the dormitory now, and we will open up wasteland and build a house together in the spring, so that we may have some sense of belonging. And living in the dormitory can also communicate with everyone more and change some bad habits.”

Mansha nodded and said: "I have seen those dormitories, they are very well built, much better than the shacks where many orcs live."

Kang Nan smiled, and said again: "But one thing, I remember that all orcs can use magic?"

Mansha smiled and said: "Don't worry about that, I won't let them use magic at will, and this batch of orcs' magic is not very powerful, otherwise they wouldn't be... Forget it, it's useless to say these. Since you think they can , then I will go out to find them tomorrow, and I guess I will be able to come over next month."

There are a hundred orcs with magic, which is equivalent to bringing a magic army to Olanka.

Kang Nan thought happily, and nodded in agreement.

The next day, Mansha took some food prepared by Kang Nan and left Olanka alone.

On the third day, the Oulanka Fair began.

It was a very sunny winter day. A circle of long tables and several stoves were set up on the square in Oulanka.Emily and Carrara are busy back and forth with the maids, while Anda is leading the male servants to carry heavy things and also take care of directing traffic.

August, who lives next door, also brought Beria to join in the fun, but they all sat on the upstairs terrace, looking at the bustling scene in the square downstairs, tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tucked.

Counting the slaves in Olanka, there were only about [-] people, and a group of people went to Xincheng.But just these people made Olanka an extremely lively atmosphere. The whole square was filled with laughter and shouting.

The royal booth on Kangnan's side was very lively. A group of people lined up to receive free soap, carefully packed it in their pockets, and then went to buy breakfast set.Soybeans that have been soaked for a long time are put into a stone mill to grind out rich soy milk, which is filtered again and poured into a large pot to boil.

You can add sugar or chopped pickles to the boiled soy milk, and add two fried dough sticks for a total of one copper plate.Everyone had been told to bring bowls, so everyone squatted in the sun with a large bowl of warm soy milk to drink. One sip of soy milk and one bite of fried dough sticks, the food was extremely sweet.

After eating and drinking enough, they washed their hands with the soap sent by His Majesty the King. Almost everyone raised their clean hands and compared each other.Who still has residual black mud in their fingernails, who hasn't rubbed their wrists clean, pointing and pointing to wash their blushing home and wash them again, be sure to wash their hands clean!

The early stall was quickly withdrawn, and several large pots were filled with chopped up various animal meat, chopped sauerkraut, and a large pot of small square cubes.Emily said it was frozen tofu, but everyone didn't quite understand what tofu was, and they just looked at it helplessly.

Those who planned to trade at the fair all took out the things they had accumulated for a long time.Rattan baskets and bamboo dustpans that have been woven for a long time, brooms of various sizes, various sun-dried vegetables neatly arranged, and brown sugar buns with a lot of nuts inside.The leather workshop displays leather boots made of broken leather, glove buckets, and leather hats.Large pieces of linen, defective cloth heads, dyed but uneven cloth, and dyed cotton and silk threads from the weaving workshop and dyeing workshop.

The blacksmith took out the needles and thimbles they made themselves [this is what His Majesty the King told them to do], and the barbecue net.The carpentry shop separated from the blacksmith shop also displayed polished and clean chopping boards, rolling pins for pastry, bamboo fences and bamboo clips.The pottery workshop also moved out a lot of new bowls, pots, and the porcelain that Ah Wan finally researched. Although it looks rough, it already has a good shape.There is also the latest paper mill, which also took out straw paper with one knife and one knife, telling others that it is for wiping butts, which is really surprising.

Among them are the hair bands and head flowers embroidered by Alice with a group of girls, ceramic ornaments made by Omaru and the others, and some clothes sewed by the aunt herself.

The commodities in the entire fair are simply dazzling, no worse than those of those large countries.

When people from Xincheng drove over, they brought the fair even more heat—they even brought white woolen blankets!

All the sheep sent by the orcs were sent to Xincheng, and a lot of wool was sheared when the weather was hot.This wool is divided into cashmere wool and sheep's wool, which is boiled to remove fat, spun and made into rough carpets.The cashmere is then processed into a soft wool blanket.

After the people from Xincheng showed the two blankets to everyone, they respectfully handed them over to Kang Nan.

This is the first time that Olanka has made a blanket by herself. If it is dyed, it will definitely be as good as those blankets made by magic!And wool keeps warm. After sheep are raised on a large scale, it is very likely that everyone can afford woolen blankets! !

In addition to the wool blanket, there are four big fat pigs that have been slaughtered.These four pigs are all boars, and they are also new piglets raised this year. They know how to eat and sleep after being clicked, and they have been cared for for nearly a year.

Kang Nan put away the blanket and pork, and seeing that it was almost time, he asked someone to bring out the maltose.In addition to maltose, there are various pickled salted eggs, boiled tea eggs, and several pots of soft sauerkraut and tofu stew that have been stewed.

There is a bunch of maltose that is dipped in sesame seeds and is crispy and crispy. This kind of one costs a penny.There are also thumbnail-sized candies that are cut like small pumpkins, and they cost five yuan a penny.In addition to maltose, there are also brown sugar cubes made this year. Each person is limited to one piece, one piece and five cents.

Brown sugar is naturally good, and it is big and can be eaten for a long time.But no one will be stingy with one or two copper coins. Everyone will buy some maltose and eat it with a sweet smile.As for the sauerkraut stew sold by His Majesty the King, a bowl of sauerkraut stew was also sold for a penny, because someone who was more business-minded found that His Majesty only stewed meat and did not make the staple food, so he quickly took someone home and steamed several baskets of steamed buns for four cents. One, absolutely full!

The sound of copper coins falling into the bag, the sweetness of candies, and the aroma of food all dispel the cold of winter.Even slaves without much money would scrape together a few copper coins to buy a few pieces of malt candy, a bowl of stew and a few steamed buns.The rich are even more generous, wanting to buy a copy of everything they see, touching the copper coins in their pockets and only regretting that they didn't work hard enough this year and didn't make too much money.

There were not many children in Olanka. They were stuffed with a lot of candy by His Majesty the King, and each of them could get two tea eggs. Their cheeks bulged and their eyes were full of admiration for His Majesty. .And the newborn children in the past two years were all given a silver coin as a gift.Not only that, Kang Nan also took all the milk of the older children and the goat milk of the younger ones, so that they can grow up healthier.

Many of the slaves who were newly allocated houses this year found their favorite partners. The two moved into the same small house, and worked hard to make their homes extremely warm, and they also worked very hard to create humans.It is definitely a happy thing to be able to have a baby in such a country. In the past, many young slaves were forced to have children, just to continue to be slaves when the children grew up.

Now they are not afraid at all. Even if they are slaves in Olanka, they are more comfortable than in other countries!

The square was bustling with activity, and there was no rest upstairs.

Kangnan has made a lot of tofu dishes, such as fried tofu with garlic sprouts and bacon, fried tofu stewed with pork blood meatballs, tofu stewed with pork and Chinese cabbage, steamed tofu with pork belly and pickles, fried tofu balls, steamed dried tofu with sliced ​​ham, and tofu mixed with shallots and preserved eggs Mix tofu and tofu egg soup.Let these "noble" bumpkins who have never seen the world eat a large table of tofu feast.

Tofu became well-known in Oulanka, so Kang Nan packed up a house facing the street and called a few servants and cooks there to open a tofu shop and sell all kinds of soy products!

The trade fair was held for two days, and every household was satisfied, so they began to look forward to the Harvest Festival one month later.

The original winter was the most difficult, the cold, disease and hunger made the slaves unable to straighten their backs at all.There were many slaves who couldn't survive the cold winter, swallowed their last breath silently, and then were roughly dragged out and thrown into the forest, where even their bones could not be found.

But in Oulanka, winter is full of hope and expectation.

Trade fairs and harvest festivals, all kinds of delicacies researched by His Majesty the King, all kinds of small things made by the big guys can be exchanged for money, and then the money can be exchanged for delicious food, warm clothes, and living at home utensils.Everyone will return with a full load, and then excitedly start looking forward to the next trade fair and harvest festival.

Half of the workshop's profit should be used as taxes, but the remaining half is paid out as wages after deducting costs, which is also a considerable amount of income.Although Alice is still just a slave, she is the deputy of Weaver Cree and the steward of the dyeing workshop.The salary of more than 30 copper coins was allocated to just one trade fair. If she just ate for herself, it would be enough for her to eat for more than half a month.Not to mention that she still has income from headbands and hair flowers, which are all made of leftover materials, and His Majesty the King has allowed it.

It's not that Alice has never seen money. She used to be a very rich nobleman. As a gift from her elder brother to serve the nobles, she also got a lot of gold, silver, jewelry, jewelry and clothes.Although everything was lost later, she didn't feel bad at all.But now, holding dozens of copper coins, she couldn't help crying bitterly in the corner of the workshop.

The grievances and sorrows before she cried again, the mountains of jewels are not as good as this little copper plate in her hand, not as good as the rough linen clothes on her body, not as good as the dull colored headband on her head.She even began to rejoice that she was dragged out by her brother and pretended to be a slave, that she was brought here by Lord Char, and that she used to use weaving and embroidery as a channel of catharsis, and now it has become a craft that she can straighten her back.

Here, everyone likes to call her Miss Alice, and they will share with her the wild fruits they picked, the young bamboo shoots they dug, and the small dried mushrooms.Some girls learned weaving and dyeing from her, so they insisted on letting her eat at their own home, and bringing her delicious roasted sweet potatoes or boiled corn every day.

We work happily together and sing happily.You don't have to wear heavy makeup to force your face to laugh every day, and you don't have to be humiliated by those rich and powerful.

Alice cried for a long time and fell asleep unconsciously.When she woke up, she found herself lying on the hot kang, covered with soft animal skins.The aunt beside her saw her wake up, smiled and brought her a bowl of warm water.

"It's fine to cry out. What can be sad here? Every day will be a good day from now on."

After drinking the water, Alice couldn't help but her eyes were red again.She nodded vigorously, yes, here, every day in the future will be a good day.

Connan didn't know about this little episode, he was calculating the accounts at the trade fair with Eddie.Soap is boiled with pancreas oil and plant ashes, and the cost is low.Although a lot were sent out at the beginning, there was a repurchase soon.Tofu can only be made in winter. In the future, the tofu workshop can make soap when it’s hot and tofu when it’s cold, so you don’t have to be idle all year round.Maltose and chili sauce are both profitable. After all, according to the grain sales price stipulated by Kang Nan, one copper plate can buy five catties of wheat, or two catties of glutinous rice.And these things can make a lot of candies, and the cost is still low.

What he didn't expect was that the straw paper in the paper mill was sold out. He thought it would be better to promote the use of straw paper to wipe butts instead of soil or grass blades. If it can't be sold, he will give a free piece Time, after all, habits are not easy to change, and you may not be used to things like spending money to buy paper after wiping your ass.As a result, when everyone heard that it was researched by His Majesty the King, it would be more hygienic and clean, so they bought it without hesitation.Even the slaves chipped in to buy it, as long as His Majesty the King is happy, they are willing to do it!

It was straw paper that had been saved for several months, but it was emptied within two days!The new city has even moved a small half away, for fear of being left behind by the main city, which is called a positive.

Moreover, someone came out to give feedback on the day the straw paper was sold. It didn’t hurt to rub it, and it wouldn’t rub on your hands. After wiping it, it was thrown into the pit and washed with soap at home. It was white and clean, awesome!

In short, His Majesty the King did not lose money during the two-day trade fair, but made a lot of money. He was very happy.Although Eddie felt that the money was just His Majesty's left hand for his right hand. After all, the coin casting workshop was in the backyard, but seeing Kang Nan's happy face, he swallowed the words back.

If His Majesty the King is happy, then everyone is happy, no matter why!
