Traitor Summoning System [Infrastructure]

The "expedition" has come to an end, and the benefits it brings are also far-reaching.

This not only brought supplies to Leonard, but also increased Leonard's prestige in the territory a lot. In this way, Leonard's policies will be implemented more smoothly.

This is the beginning.

What's more, Lu Bu is managing Wanzhong Town. Anyway, Lu Bu is also a prince, so it is more than enough to manage Wanzhong Town well.

At this very moment, fertilization is in full swing in the fields of Little Thorn Castle.

Leonard was not idle either. During this period of time, he browsed through some books in the castle, and consulted many questions with the housekeeper and Bachelor Rutherford. Combined with the things in his head, he gained a deeper understanding of this era. .He also had some ideas in his mind on how to develop the territory.

Leonard has basically understood the diet structure here,

Prey in the forest, fish in the river, fruit on the tree, vegetables in the field... Fishing and hunting, picking, honey, vegetables, these are all sources of food.

As for the meat to eat, it is very rich.Regular pigs, sheep, cattle, chickens, geese, peacocks, all birds, all kinds of strange things, as long as they can be caught, they can be served on the table.

But only civilians are willing to eat freshwater fish, because freshwater fish is too fishy.Some nobles fed freshwater fish to cats.This is similar to ancient China, which also tended to eat sea fish more.

This is mainly because freshwater fish cannot be prepared without cooking methods and necessary spices, so I simply give up eating it.

That's not a problem for Leonard.

There are many forests in this territory, the largest being the Darkmoon Forest.The river resources are also very rich, and there are many fish in it.Many vegetables are also grown in the fields, and some livestock are also raised.Therefore, the food sources in this territory are still very rich, as long as it is well prepared, you will not be hungry.

Most of the time, civilians do not have the right to fish, and some resources on the territory belong to the lord.Except for the first half of June, during the first half of June, civilians can fish and hunt as much as they want, and then pickle the fish they catch and eat them for a year.If you are caught fishing later, you will be hung up.

After keeping these in mind, Leonard had more thoughts in his mind.

……

Butler Conrad handed over the work of spreading fertilizer to a manservant named Cronin, who was a clever young man, and Butler Conrad intended to cultivate him.

Under Cronin's command, the serfs sprinkled the manure that had fermented for a period of time on the fields.

Now the weather temperature is gradually rising, so spreading fertilizer is a relatively difficult thing.

The air stinks, but they are not too disgusted with the smell, after all, they were still people who defecated everywhere before.

The first time he used fertilizer, Leonard thought about using less. He was inexperienced and didn't dare to use too much. If the vegetables were burned to death, the gain would outweigh the gain, and he would cry to death.

Cronin commanded the serf earnestly against the sun. Although he was clever, he was a bit lazy like some boys of his age. He thought in his heart: What kind of idea is the lord thinking? Do you want to eat...

He told Butler Conrad about this idea, and Butler Conrad pondered for a while, but he couldn't figure out what the lord's intentions were.On this day, Mayor Parker came to report to Leonard about the town's affairs, and Butler Conrad went to ask Mayor Parker for advice.

The thoughtful mayor of Parker frowned and thought of it: "I understand why the lord is watering the vegetables with excrement."

"Please tell me." Conrad Butler asked.

"Vegetables are eaten by inferior people," Mayor Parker said confidently: "So we must water them with cheap things. The lord's move can remind everyone that he is defending the respect of the nobles and raising the dignity of the nobles." Status."

Butler Conrad suddenly realized: "As expected of Mayor Parker, he is really thoughtful."

The mayor of Parker said happily: "Since I received the Lord Lord's education last time, my judgment has not been missed!"

... I don't know how Leonard will be dumbfounded after knowing their judgment.

At this time, there were also complaints in the fields.

"The lord is really good at tossing people, the weather is also hot, and such a hard job has happened."

"Ugh……"

"Forget it, the aloof lord..."

"Your lord is good at fighting, but in these aspects... there is no rush for farming."

The whispering words below also reached Leonard's ears, and Leonard didn't take it seriously.After all, using feces to fertilize is too shocking here.They should not understand.

This kind of argument is also beneficial. After the effect of fertilization comes out, not only can these people's mouths be blocked, but their turning from doubt to firm belief will make them trust him more from now on, even unconditionally trust him.

"These gangsters think so." The housekeeper Conrad said angrily, "They should be hung up and smoked!"

"Farewell, farewell." Leonard said, "There are only a few serfs in total, one will be killed and one less."

Leonard found out, telling them that human rights are not feasible, and it is easy to convince them by directly bringing out the benefits.

Butler Conrad said guiltily: "I'm sorry, my lord, it's my mismanagement. Last winter, many serfs died."

A lot of people died... Leonard couldn't help but twitched the corner of his mouth. He's been here for a while, but he still can't get used to the idea that slaves are not treated as human beings here. "Those serfs... were sent to the castle to be healed if they got sick," he said.

Leonard looked at the place where the slaves lived two days ago.

The bed was covered with rough straw mats--of course, how could the straw mats be refined?The windows are nailed with strips of wood in all directions. In winter, straw is stuffed into these gaps to resist the cold wind. In other seasons, it’s like this. As for the mosquitoes?They have long been used to living with mosquitoes, bedbugs, and cockroaches.The walls were covered with moss, dirty, smelly, and damp.This environment made it easy to get sick, and of course the slaves got sick a lot.

Leonard felt that his castle was not very good, but compared with the place where the slaves lived, it was considered a paradise.

Butler Conrad was shocked on the spot: "This, this... What if those slaves infect us with the disease?"

"Be careful." Leonard said: "This is also for the better development of the territory. If there are fewer slaves, no one will work for us."

Sure enough, only this kind of argument can convince the butler, so Butler Conrad nodded: "That's true."

Leonard said: "The other thing is to issue a rule that says that the children of serfs will no longer be serfs, but free citizens."

So Steward Conrad was startled for the third time: "My lord!"

This is also what Leonard discovered when looking through the materials, and he has the power to promulgate this policy.Leonard explained: "The population of the territory is too small. At present, population means everything, which can encourage fertility." Coupled with good medical conditions for serfs, this can indeed encourage fertility.

"But this seems a bit too..." Butler Conrad frowned.

Leonard is looking at other people's attitudes towards this policy through Conrad's reaction. Although he can directly issue orders with force, Conrad's butler certainly dare not say anything, but he still decides to use reason to persuade Butler Conrad, in this way, Butler Conrad can also help him convince other people, and this way of persuasion can build the trust of the masses in him.

Conrad's objection was not because he didn't believe in Leonard. On the contrary, he said this objection because he completely regarded his interests and Leonard's interests as one.If it was the past, no matter what Leonard said, he would have dealt with it "okay".

In other words, he is also for the good of Leonard.

Leonard thought for a while, and quickly found an angle of persuasion: "Even if a serf's child becomes a freeman, he doesn't have much property, and he won't be a freeman when he grows up. In the end, he still works for me."

Butler Conrad was startled: "I see."

The lord is really cunning... well, he is really full of strategies!

"Oh, and after pregnancy, you can add up to two months without work." Leonard said, "It's also for their physical considerations."

After such a series of conversations, Butler Conrad has no objection this time: "Okay."

However, he felt that if this was the case, the efficiency of the slaves' work would definitely decrease.

Raising some slaves for nothing, I feel a little distressed.

But to the housekeeper's surprise, after these orders were issued, several pregnant female slaves rested immediately, but the speed of their work did not slow down, and their enthusiasm for work was even higher than before!It turned out that according to the statistics these days, they did more work than those female slaves before they took a break.

Butler Conrad was a little dazed at the time.

These slaves are also sensible, knowing that the lord is doing it for their own good.

Sure enough, he really deserves to be the lord!

Butler Conrad thought.

I will definitely serve the lord more wholeheartedly in the future!

……

Butler Conrad came to report on this day. He said that according to the current reserves in the warehouse, with some savings, Little Thorn Castle can still eat food for more than a month.

Leonard froze for a moment after hearing this.

He originally thought that it was a great harvest to snatch so many things from the robbers, but it looked different from what he had imagined.

...That's right, there are so many people in the castle, even if you pull a few carts back, that's all.

what to do?Going hungry again?How long has it been?

Do you want to sell something?

Or pull the knights out to hunt every day?go fishing?

Now that the crops have just been fertilized, no matter how powerful the fertilizer is, it is impossible for the crops to bear fruit in a few days.

Leonard thought about a lot of things in his mind. He was in a daze for a while, lay on the bed, and got up again. He had an idea. Although it was a bit treacherous, it was better than selling Lu Bu's pearls for food.

He called for Mayor Parker.

"My lord, do you have any orders?" Mayor Parker asked.

Leonard said: "You said at the time that my second brother Vito Green wrote to you to embarrass me."

"Yes." Mayor Parker said.

Leonard continued: "He also gave you a reward."

Mayor Parker immediately took off the brooch on his clothes: "This is it, dedicated to you, my lord, I have wanted to give it to you for a long time. It's just, uh, I just forgot..." He couldn't continue speaking until the end Yes, this lie is too clumsy.

But fortunately the lord did not care about it.

Leonard accepted the gemstone brooch, and then said: "Now you write to my second brother, saying that you have successfully provoked me to attack the nearby robbers, my strength has been damaged, and the knights are not doing well... um... …I can only rely on an Easterner I met halfway. Then you claim credit and ask for rewards."

Mayor Parker froze for a moment, "My lord..."

"Let me give you a friendly suggestion." Leonard said, "Under the current situation, you'd better not tell me anything other than 'obedience'."

The mayor of Parker immediately lowered his head and said in fear, "Of course, my lord."

"Then my second brother should send a reward soon, and you will reward me." Leonard said.

Oh, that's Leonard's plan.

Use Mayor Parker to get things from the second brother Vito.

After Mayor Parker left, he was at a loss. If Master Vito Green told him that the lord could not do it in order to give the lord an excuse to attack him, then what is the lord's move now?

Mayor Parker himself felt that his thinking was meticulous, and after thinking about it for a long time, he suddenly realized.

It turns out that the second young master Vito and Lord Leonard have a deep brotherhood!Leonard was sent here without supplies, so Vito wanted an excuse to give him something.That's it, that's it.

Mayor Parker immediately thought of a piece of evidence, that is, the gemstone given to him by Second Young Master Vito was similar in color to Leonard's eyes, which proved that Vito had planned to give the gemstone to Leonard from the very beginning.

The mayor of Parker suddenly felt relieved, which means that the second young master and the lord need to act as an intermediary to transport supplies, and he is just a cover. It was he who was actually embarrassing the third young master.You can move forward or backward.

It really is brotherly love!And in such a clever way!

At this moment, Vito, the second young master of Green, who is far away in Linye City, is thinking about the internal struggle of the family. He doesn't know that someone has already given him the name of brotherhood.

He himself was looking at the intelligence data and frowning in thought.

The third brother Leonard is basically out, but his father liked Leonard very much when he was a child, so he needs Leonard to be out more thoroughly.

He has been meticulously crafting his character as a martial artist. In fact, he himself feels that his wisdom is no less than force.

Then the next step is to fight with the big brother.

First pretending to assist the elder brother, and then suddenly turning against him.

But first of all, Leonard must be clearly arranged, so that his father will be completely disappointed in him, so that if he and his elder brother lose both, his father will not turn around and call Leonard back.

Lin Yecheng is almost under the control of his father and elder brother. It is fine to send a letter, but he will definitely be discovered if he sends a knight out rashly.

So Vito prayed that the mayor of Leonard's territory could play a role, and he felt that he could provide more material support.

Hmm... If it really doesn't work, you can also lobby the nearby robbers to do something big.

Second Young Master Vito made such a calculation.
