Traitor Summoning System [Infrastructure]

After Leonard returned to the territory, what awaited Leonard was not only the people who were looking forward to his return, but also thousands of catties of wool piled up like white clouds.

Leonard opened the warehouse door and looked up for a while, then closed the door.

This is too much.

Well, ambitious plans aside, the first thing to do is to solve these wool problems.

Then, the first thing Leonard will do after returning to the territory is to turn these wool raw materials into wool products.

Now that the sheep breeding industry in the territory has begun to take shape, it is impossible to make wool quilts like before, and a wool industry must be seriously established.

After the wool is carded, a part of it can be directly taken out and put into use.The first is the soft and warm quilt that Leonard made at the beginning. In addition, cashmere gloves, hats, shoes and socks used to keep warm in winter are also important products, and then they can be made into felt.

Felt has many functions, it is elastic, has good thermal insulation and wear resistance. In addition to being used as insoles, it can also be used in various industries, such as filtering, polishing, heat insulation, and so on.

Finally, weaving with wool.

Leonard made some calculations and felt that wool could be used for many purposes, and it would take a lot of manpower and material resources to realize these uses one by one, but it was no problem for Leonard, and it happened to provide jobs for some women in the territory.

Thinking of this, Leonard logically continued to think about it, and adjusted the division of labor between the genders. Let the men do the physical work of farming. The climate here is already damp and cold, and Leonard even built a bunch of paddy fields. It's too unfriendly for women.As for the work at sea, try to give it to men as much as possible.

With this idea in mind, he was ready to arrange it.

It's dinner time.

The content of the dinner is a self-service barbecue.

He Shen was in Broken Star City, Wei Zhongxian was in Blazing Sun City, Gongsun Sheng didn't show up if he didn't eat meat, Leonard, Lu Bu, Cai Lun, Wang Jixian, Gao Lian, and Bachelor Rutherford sat in front of the grill and skewered the slaves in advance Put the kebabs on the fire to roast.

Sprinkle the prepared seasonings, several people sat around, admiring the process of the meat being roasted until it was charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and suddenly felt that it was a pleasure to grill the meat by yourself.

The aroma of the meat mixed with the cumin seasoning exudes a mouth-watering taste.

"Barbecuing meat by yourself really has a special flavor." Gao Qiu said.

"Well, it doesn't feel the same as serving it directly." Leonard thought for a while, "Let's open a barbecue restaurant like this in the city."

"This plan is very clever!" Gao Qiu praised it loudly.

Then he was ignored by Leonard, who didn't even give him a nod.

Cai Lun frowned: "Will the nobles like it? Are they willing to do it themselves?"

"It's nothing more than a habit. I have introduced horse-drawn carriage rides in the territory. You can see how many nobles are sitting comfortably in the carriage." Leonard said, "Barbecuing meat by yourself is a kind of fun in itself, and the pre-processing is all It will be done by our people, and the guests are only responsible for putting it on. However, if they don’t want to, the guys in the store can also help bake it next to them. Since the nobles like to hunt, and then eat the prey they hunt, there should be part of it. Would love to try their own barbecue.”

"What the lord said is very reasonable!" Gao Qiu praised loudly.

As a result, he was ignored by everyone again.

Gao Qiu was a little puzzled, why Cai Lun, a eunuch, always refuted the Lord Lord's words?Why does Gao Lian look more like an eunuch than Cai Lun?

Cai Lun continued: "Hunting can highlight their bravery. Many nobles here are quite contemptuous of kitchen matters. This is different."

Leonard replied, "It makes sense..."

Gao Qiu didn't speak this time.

Through the conversation just now, he has understood that Leonard does not need flattery. He is extremely smart and quick-witted, but in the past he was mostly used to compete for favor in front of the emperor. Now that he understands that Leonard does not like this, he quickly adjusted his attitude toward himself. positioning.After thinking for a while, Gao Qiu said: "If you want to make money, it's better to do this. Put all kinds of wild beasts around a field, let the nobles pay to go hunting, and then send the prey directly to the restaurant, and our chefs will prepare it for you. Cooking. In this way, you can charge double price, and you don’t need to pay for the raw materials yourself.”

Leonard's eyes lit up: "This is fine."

Many nobles like to hunt, but there are not many nobles who are really capable of hunting.

Most of the nobles talked about hunting, but actually took a bunch of soldiers there to enjoy their eyesight, or they shot a few arrows in disorder, and then came back to say what prey they had caught.

And Gao Lian's strategy perfectly solved this problem.

It can not only allow nobles to enjoy their own hunting addiction, but also make money.

And it also feels like a one-stop service. Leonard can imagine that if this system is established, coupled with the original entertainment facilities in Wanzhong Town, the nobles will be even more happy and immersed in it.

Of course, the cost of initial investment is relatively high, but it is really attractive!

At that time, I will find someone to advertise again, so why worry about not getting back the money?

Little Thorn Castle is still too remote.Leonard stroked his chin and thought.Experiment first, and then reproduce it in Sunlun City.

Sunlun City is located in the very center of the mainland, with convenient transportation, and the effect of these entertainment businesses is naturally very good.

Then Leonard praised Gao Qiu lavishly, saying, "I got you, just like Gao Zu got an ovary."

Cai Lun next to him thought to himself that he really said this sentence every time.

Gao Lian felt very happy immediately, he felt that he had grasped the promotion code.

Then everyone began to confirm the details while eating.

"Since the intention is so, there is no need for some beasts at all. The beasts are too troublesome, and the guests are prone to problems." Bachelor Rutherford said.

Over there, Lu Bu didn't interrupt. He used the meat on the knife maker's grill to cut a few slices, and then brushed it with a few layers of oil. He liked the smell of barbecued meat.Then sprinkle the seasoning, and the fragrant meat smell spreads out further.

"Is this acceptable to the guests?" Leonard asked, his eyes could not help but drift towards the barbecue.

At this time, the surface of the barbecue has turned into an attractive golden yellow, and the oil and seasonings have penetrated into the meat, which looks very delicious.

"If you don't want to, let them go to the Darkmoon Forest to hunt by themselves." Cai Lun said, "Anyway, the Darkmoon Forest is the property of the adults, and they need to pay the adults for hunting there."

"That way there's no problem," Leonard said.

Lu Bu cut off the outermost piece of meat with a dagger, "It's cooked."

"Okay, okay, thank you." Leonard picked up the barbecue with his chopsticks. The skin of the barbecue was very crispy, and the feeling of taking a bite was particularly good, crunchy.

The seasoning has penetrated into the barbecue meat, and the crispy skin is torn apart with the teeth. The meat inside is tender and juicy, and the gravy overflows immediately after one bite. The first thing to fully enjoy is the tongue, followed by the taste buds.

"If it's barbecue, it might be very hot in the restaurant in summer." Gao Lian was very polite now, and asked the question decisively.

Previously, ice cubes were used to cool down. If it was barbecue, it might not be enough... Leonard thought for a while, "Get a big fan and put the ice cubes in front to cool down."

"Fan?" Cai Lun asked.

At this time, the slave brought some sausages sprinkled with seasonings. The sausages were oily, put them on the grill, and were grilled by the fire. The fat dripped on the charcoal below, and sparks flew everywhere.Soon the temperature rose and the sausages and roasts began to sizzle.

Lu Bu couldn't help interjecting: "Barbecuing meat by yourself is really a different kind of happiness."

Leonard nodded, and replied to Cai Lun's words: "You have studied the principle of windmills before. A fan is a small windmill installed in a room. It needs manpower to turn it, release the wind, and form the wind that comes in from the windows and doors. One, uh, creates a convective loop, so the room is much cooler."

"So that's it." Cai Lun suddenly realized, "Then I'll go and study it."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work," Leonard said.

Then some people added some details, such as what material is used for the fence and what animals are put in the hunting area.

It is natural to eat barbecue with crayfish. After a while, the slave brought spicy crayfish.

The crayfish is stir-fried with the good wine brewed by ourselves. All kinds of seasonings such as bay leaves, cinnamon bark, and peppercorns are all high-quality products.Hold the crayfish with your hands to take a sip of the oil, and then bite the bottom to pull out the full shrimp meat. The meat is tender, tasty and delicious.

It's a wonderful feeling to talk about things while eating good food.

And Leonard always felt that eating food can inspire people.

After Gao Qiu and Wang Jixian participated in the dinner, they both felt a little strange.

There is no sense of gunpowder between colleagues, and they do not compete for favor in front of adults. They really discuss things in harmony.

This... It's been a long, long time since I've seen this kind of atmosphere.

Seems pretty good.

they thought.

"That's right." Leonard said before the dinner ended: "I plan to divide the labor between men and women in the territory. Some tasks are suitable for men and some tasks are suitable for women. You can draw up a plan and discuss it. It started to be implemented, so that the production efficiency will be higher.”

"Okay, my lord." They all said in unison.

"There's no need for Cai Lun, as long as Cai Lun is busy with your own business," Leonard said.

"Okay, my lord." Cai Lun said, "But my workshop does need a group of ingenious women."

"Okay," Leonard said.

Hey, it's really inconvenient for He Shen and Wei Zhongxian to be here, no one can lead the overall situation.

Cai Lun can actually do it, after all, he used to be an official to Jiuqing, but he is too busy and has no time at all.

Gao Qiu...Gao Qiu really can't control, he is a partial talent, and his ability is really limited.

Leonard pondered for a moment, then aimed at Lu Bu.

Fengxian, you seem to be about to sacrifice again.

Anyway, you were a prince back then, right?

……

Early the next morning, Gao Lian brought the plan for the division of labor between men and women, and of course, in his words, it was a memorial.Looking at his tired face, Leonard immediately understood that he had rushed out all night.

Leonard looked at it, and there are many merits, but there are also big problems.

"Gao Qi." Leonard said, "Your loyalty is commendable, but do you know what your problem is?"

Gao Qiu was at a loss: "The villain doesn't know, please ask the lord to clarify."

Leonard said: "You have been here for a month, and you should know what kind of subordinates I need."

Gao Qiu boldly said: "What the lord needs is not a subordinate who talks empty words, but a subordinate who does practical things."

"Yes." Leonard said, "Subordinates who can benefit me in a real sense."

Gao Qiu nodded, "I understand."

Then Leonard said: "So, after I assign the task, I don't ask for speed, what I want is a useful plan, not for each of you to submit a copy to me diligently."

Gao Lian seemed to understand something.

"What I want to look at is not your attitude, but your wisdom." Leonard continued.

Gao Qiu immediately had an epiphany.

These treacherous ministers have high emotional intelligence.

"The biggest problem in your plan is that you don't know my territory, and you don't know what occupations are in my territory. You wrote it according to the division of labor in Song Dynasty. At best, you added some What you have seen and heard." Leonard said, "If you want me to say, the biggest problem with your plan is that it is divorced from reality."

Gao Qiu suddenly understood: "I need to actually investigate."

"Yes." Leonard said, "It just so happens that we can get familiar with the affairs of the territory as soon as possible."

"Okay." Gao Qiu understood completely.

"Also, go and rest." Leonard said, "Try not to do this kind of thing all night in the future. We have a lot to do, so don't worry."

Gao Qiu nodded movedly, "Thank you Lord Lord, the villain understands."

"And in the future, you can call yourself 'I'." Leonard said.

This time Gao Qiu was really touched: "I understand, my lord."

It's easy to talk to treacherous ministers.

Leonard thought.

……

Back to wool.

Leonard gathered a group of female workers and taught the skills himself.

Soak the wool in hot water first, use soap to remove the debris, feces and grease on it, and after drying, it is time to play the wool.The wool is fluffy and combed carefully with a wool comb. If it is to make a quilt, this step can be filled, but if it is a blanket, it needs another process: spinning wool.

At this point, Leonard's only skill is gone, and Cai Lun, who is studying fans, is replaced.

In this era, looms are monopolized by nobles. The Green family is one of the four major families. Of course Leonard can get a lot of looms. Cai Lun plans to improve the looms. Leonard recalls the looms of his grandmother’s house. , even gestured to Cai Lun with his hands and feet, and it really gave Cai Lun some inspiration.

One month later, the improvement of the loom was completed, and the machine was operated by stepping on it with feet, so that both hands could be freed for picking and beating up.

With such an improved loom, a skilled worker can weave nearly one meter of cloth in one hour.

Leonard couldn't help nodding at this, Maester Rutherford was overwhelmed with surprise.

The woven wool is used not only for making woolen vests, but also for making tapestries and carpets.

The demand for carpets in the West has been a tradition since ancient times. In the Middle Ages, people lived in stone castles, with stones everywhere, and it was very cold, so tapestry culture and fireplace culture developed.Leonard's plan to produce tapestries/carpets is also in line with the popular needs of this era.

Then there is the main event is dyeing.

Naturally, plant dyeing is used for dyeing. The history of plant dyeing in China is very long, more than 5000 years, and there are more than 700 kinds of names of various colors.But then they were impacted by chemical dyes, so only some ethnic minorities still retain some traditional dyeing techniques.

In recent years, people have realized the harm of chemical dyes, and gradually began to pay attention to traditional dyeing.

The establishment of Japan's "grass and wood dyeing" organization, the development of natural dyes in India, and individual clothing brands in China have also begun to pay attention to this aspect. Traditional dyeing still has a long way to go.

Leonard wrote to Heshen, who knew these things well, and attached a long list of vegetable dyes to Leonard's reply.

Leonard looked at it for a long time, some had heard of it, some hadn't, and he asked casually, "Why don't you use minerals for dyeing?"

This time it was Wang Jixian who answered, "Dyeing with ore is easy to dye unevenly, and it is not washable."

Wang Jixian was from the Song Dynasty, so he didn't know that ore dyeing was basically eliminated in the Ming Dynasty, but if you let him talk about the shortcomings of ore dyeing, he can always say it.

"I see." Leonard nodded, "Then it looks like we are going to grow dye crops on a large scale."

Madder, Tangli, Polygonum cuspidatum, Sophora japonica, Polygonum indigo...

Wang Jixian knew all these plants and trees, so let him take charge of this matter.

Moreover, some herbs were supposed to be cultivated, so Wang Jixian should be responsible for this as well.

Leonard found that in order to develop the wool industry, many things need to be done to jointly form this industrial chain.

Thinking about the bunch of things he wanted to do, Leonard immediately became energetic.

It feels so good to develop this step by step!
