Traitor Summoning System [Infrastructure]

Three days after the stinky mandarin fish feast, the caravans from all over the place returned one after another, except for the caravan going to Dadi Brown’s Huitu Island—after all, they had to cross the sea by boat, so it took longer .

The main task of the caravan was to sell the armaments and some man-made luxuries eliminated by Leonard, and then buy food and slaves.

In addition, he also bears the responsibility of guiding refugees to Little Thorn Castle.

It costs a lot of money to buy food.

Yes, food again.

Every winter, Leonard would buy a large number of slaves.

Slaves are the cheapest at this time. In other lords, slaves are basically unable to work in winter, so they have to be raised for nothing, and they are easy to freeze to death, which is very troublesome, so they are willing to dispose of slaves when winter comes. , I will buy it again next spring.Although the price in the coming spring is much higher than that in winter, it is still better than a bunch of slaves dying.

Leonard just took advantage of this time difference to increase the population by a wave every year before winter came.

Obviously, Leonard did not have the problems faced by other lords.

One is that many jobs can be done here in winter, and everyone has enough clothes.Second, there are fewer jobs in winter, so I have a lot of time to receive training, learn some skills, and wait for the next spring to show my skills.

Small Thorn Fort is now caught in a cycle. The large amount of grain harvested every year is enough for everyone in the territory to eat, but if it buys too many people, there will be some food problems, so it needs to buy more grain.

Therefore, the food production of Little Thorn Castle doubles every year, but it seems that it will never be able to feed the people on the territory.

But this is a virtuous circle. After all, in waves of capital turnover, Leonard has harvested more people and more arable land.

And because Leonard has been buying grain for a long time, some lords have begun to consciously grow grain in order to sell it to Leonard in winter.

Objectively speaking, it has increased the grain production of the entire continent, which is also a good thing.

The caravan mainly purchased food and slaves, and sold luxury goods and armaments eliminated by Leonard.

The fighting power of the long sword and thorns shocked the entire continent, and this became the best advertisement.

So Leonard's armor and weapons naturally sold out quickly.

Maybe there are nobles who don't like luxury goods, but any noble will like stronger military power.

Armaments are valuable in themselves. Leonard proposed to barter, using those useless slaves in exchange for armaments. Those nobles felt that they had made a lot of money, and Leonard felt that he had made a lot of money. On the surface, this It turned out to be a win-win situation.

More than a month after winter, Leonard's territory directly increased by [-] people.

Leonard obtained [-] destiny points because of this, and couldn't help but be overjoyed.

However, Leonard soon became displeased. The refugees were still carrying some viruses, and the spread of the virus almost caused serious problems. Fortunately, the weather is cold in winter and Wang Jixian is here, so the epidemic will soon be overwhelmed. Going down is safe and sound.

Wang Jixian has now opened a clinic and recruited many disciples, all of whom have come in handy in this epidemic.

After the epidemic, Gao Li wrote a bunch of poems and articles and gave them to the bards. The bards revised them and began to praise Leonard everywhere.

With your majesty you prevented death from approaching, with your kindness and love you kept us alive, and so on.

Hearing that Leonard was a little shy, he asked Gao Qiu to add Wang Jixian.

For a time, Wang Jixian was being sung everywhere in the territory.

Wang Jixian was very moved. He had experienced the glory, wealth, and luxury, but he had never experienced such a feeling of being praised by others.

This kind of positive motivation shocked him greatly, and his loyalty was immediately full.

Leonard is very satisfied with this.

Then Leonard discovered one thing:

He Shen's article is much better than Gao Qiu's, but because it is too literary and euphemistic, it can brainwash ordinary people... Oh, the effect of not promoting it is not as good as Gao Qiu's.Gao Lian's writing is easy to understand and slightly literary, which is just right for ordinary people.

To put it simply, He Shen is suitable for educated people, and Gao Lian is suitable for uneducated people.

With such a publicity that appeals to both refined and popular tastes, Leonard's reputation will reach a very terrifying level.

At that time, if the people are very willing to make Leonard the emperor, Leonard has nothing to do. After all, this is what everyone wants, and he has never had the heart to refuse the request of the people.Oh, it's really distressing.

……

It has been arranged in advance, so the victims of the disaster have been received in an orderly manner.

The [-] victims were sent to various small towns separately. On the first night, their uneasiness was soothed by the warm bedding and fireplace.

They should start working and studying tomorrow.

But tonight was an eventful night.

In the dark night and high wind, a group of 'refugees' secretly gathered in the desolate stone tower outside the town.

The arched window has a clear view, and you can have a panoramic view of the town.

"how?"

"It's a very rich town, and the original residents in it should have a lot of property."

"That's just right. That lord is right. He is rich, so he didn't come in vain."

"Their family is gone, why should we do things for him?"

"The other party is an aristocrat. If the other party succeeds, we will be prosperous."

"Stop talking nonsense, since you're here, let's make a big deal."

After that, with a few words, he arranged for a late-night operation, but he didn't have much action strategy. It was nothing more than murder, arson, and house robbery.It's just that this time they were quite bold because of someone's instigation, and they actually pointed directly at the town under the command of the nobles. Under normal circumstances, they would not dare to act like this.

However, if they were asked to sneak attack the central Wanzhong Town or Jianming City, they would never dare.

Looking closely, the temperaments of these people are quite different. Some have hideous vicious complexions, but if you look closely, they are robbers; on the contrary, some people have firm faces, often showing noble expressions, as if they are not robbers, but knights.

"Lucking in late at night to sneak in and attack, that lord's strategy is really terrifying!" said a robber.

The knight over there was silent.He knew that the grown-up had learned from his enemy, Leonard Green.

As the night got darker, their action officially began.

The robbers were interested in looting, and the knights were dutifully preparing to set fire to it.

The division of labor between the two sides has actually become clear. If it is an ordinary small town, it will definitely achieve miraculous results.

However, the knights noticed something in their eyes.

They found that almost all the houses were neatly made of stone, and it was already humid here in winter, so it was impossible to start a fire at all.

ah?How could this be the case? !

Those knights stayed.

"Didn't you notice that these are all stone houses?"

"I thought it was just a few stone houses? Isn't this the territory of Thorn Green? Shouldn't this be full of wood?"

"..."

Most of the houses in the Thorn Green Territory were indeed made of wood, but Leonard tore down all the wooden houses, and the houses here were all built of bricks.They don't know bricks and think they are stones.

Disadvantage of apprenticeship.

Instead, it caught the attention of the security team.

If an ordinary magistrate encountered such a large group of thieves, he would have been so frightened that he hurriedly hid in the cellar.

But the security officer laughed and got up from the bed: "There is actually a battle here! Come on, wake up all the young men in the security team, let them put on their clothes quickly, and let's go kill the enemy!"

After the end of the epidemic, the thieves caught up with the sneak attack, and it can be said that misfortunes never come singly in Leonard's territory.

The sudden sneak attack made everyone unexpected, but the unexpected does not mean that there is nothing to do.

The attackers obviously didn't conduct a proper investigation. Perhaps they didn't have the concept that the sheriff of the town was really serious about managing law and order in their minds.

However, the sheriffs in Leonard's small towns were all retired from the front-line army. They were all veterans who were injured and couldn't stay on the battlefield. They were honorably discharged.In addition, there are [-] soldiers in each small town, which, in Lu Bu's words, is to provide officers and soldiers for the yamen.

When Leonard came to the border town back then, there were not eighty knights, which showed that these eighty soldiers were quite a large force.

The above-mentioned sneak attack took place in Tianye Town, and that night Suijin Town and Huxin Town also had sneak attacks at the same time, so it can be seen that the plan was long-term and organized to a certain extent.

There are nearly a hundred raiders in each town, and those raiders include robbers and trained knights.The combination of the two is quite surprising.

If these people gathered together, it would be a relatively large force, but no, the organizers thought too much, played too much, and dispersed the troops, intending to make these three small towns fall into a bad situation at the same time , making Leonard wonder which town to rescue first.

So their fate can be imagined.

The knights over there couldn't light the fire for a long time, and they were a little dazed for a while. They didn't know what they were doing. Could it be that they robbed houses like other robbers?

And the robbers over there also encountered problems—because those doors were so strong that ordinary doors would be kicked open with one kick, but those doors were so strong that they couldn't be opened after several kicks.

So both sides began to catch blind.

A long-planned, horrific operation is now a bit of a joke.

Then they heard whistles on the ramparts.

"Hehe, I'm busy." I saw Lu Bu's arrogant smile on the magistrate's face under the moonlight. He bit a grass and said cynically, "Should I help you and send you to hell?"

He swung his hand down, and the soldiers behind him immediately bent their bows and shot arrows.

These soldiers are all soldiers trained by Lu Bu, and they are proficient in horseback riding and archery.They have all seen the big scene, so naturally they don't pay attention to these hundred people now.

After the first row of archers finished shooting their arrows, the second row stepped forward. It seemed that there was no chaos and order.

After several waves of arrows were shot, the magistrate put the grass roots in his mouth aside, "A group of rats, it's not worth wasting arrows, kill them, and use their blood to warm your body."

The soldiers next to them laughed loudly, put away their bows and arrows, took out their swords, and went down the city wall to kill the enemy. They looked extremely ferocious.

These soldiers stayed with Lu Bu for a long time, and they were all sturdy and bloodthirsty.

The soldiers fought hand in hand, and the soldiers were fully equipped, so they naturally dealt with the opponent like chopping melons and vegetables.

All the time, howling everywhere.

"Oh." The sheriff looked at the corpses all over the ground and suddenly patted his head: "It's over now, no one was left alive, and the living should be kept for interrogation." Then he glanced at a certain soldier standing over there, "Mormont, see if there are any survivors among the people you have dealt with. You have always been vain. Maybe some of the people you killed were pretending to be dead."

The soldier named Mormont cursed "You're so stupid" and then went to find a living.

Actually found a living.

It turned out to be the only remaining survivor of the sheriff himself.

The sheriff coughed, "I had the foresight to leave one alive on purpose. I knew that you little bastards would definitely not be left alive, so I..."

"Hahaha boss, you are too weak."

"Hahahaha sheriff, hahaha..."

The result was a crowd of jeers.

The magistrate touched his head dejectedly, and ordered the man to be sent to Little Thorn Castle, where the lord could be tortured.

It is a short distance from Little Thorn Castle, but the road has been repaired, so the speed is extremely fast, and it only takes more than an hour.

Similar scenes also happened in Sweet Town and Lake Town.

……

Many refugees were in panic that night. They heard roars and shouts of killing from inside the house. Fortunately, the door of the house was very strong and equipped with a solid chain lock, so the robbers couldn't get in at all. Set it on fire and it won't burn.

What an embarrassment.

But those ordinary people are still very scared. They are refugees and slaves. When they just came here and encountered such a thing, they were naturally terrified.

After the sheriffs of the three towns have dealt with it, let the soldiers shout in the town that the robber is dead, and everyone can sleep in peace.

Those people went to bed anxiously.

The bed is warm, everything is fine here, they love it, they don't want to be homeless anymore, it's just too miserable.

When they came out the next day, there were still bloodstains on the street, and they were even more horrified and frightened when they saw it.

The soldiers in charge of law and order talked and laughed happily, and rang the bell in the small square happily. After the townspeople gathered, someone announced that in order to appease them and commend the town for repelling the robbers, the lord held a big feast for a day.

All the magistrates were rewarded with a total of fifty gold coins, which made people envious.

The soldiers below also have their own rewards. Gold coins, clothes, and fine wine are also enviable.

The publicity of rewards was held in a small square, and Mr. Gao Qiu, the author of "Chicken Soup for the Soul", was present in person.

Everyone was overjoyed. Some children looked at the glorious appearance of the soldiers and thought to themselves, when I grow up, I will fight for the lord!

Gao Qiu asked everyone to clean up the blood on the street, cleaned up the battlefield thoroughly, and then began to set up a banquet.

The long table is full of all kinds of freshly baked bread, steaming roast meat, clam soup, fruit pie, roast onion, honey roast suckling pig, roast red sausage, potato and mushroom stew, meat cubes in sauce, and various Kinds of juice, ale.

These modified foods are simply delicious.

Everyone smiled and enjoyed the joy to the fullest.

They said toasts again and again, congratulating the victory of the war again and again, wishing the Lord Lord good health, wishing the long sword and thorns eternal glory, wishing you and me good health, and wishing everything around.

The new refugees were quickly infected by the atmosphere of the banquet, infected by the soldiers, and like them, they were willing to die for the lord.

Taking this opportunity, after a day of flowing water banquet, people's hearts are fully harvested.
