Traitor Summoning System [Infrastructure]

Chapter 160 Negotiation · Bet · Winter Snow...

After the Harvest Festival, the nobles returned to their territories one after another. Only the eagle Bruce and the second brother Vito's family stayed, planning to enjoy it for a while before leaving.The other nobles actually wanted to stay and have fun. After all, Leonard’s food, drink and fun here is really great, but they were worried about what Leonard would do to them. Of course, such worries would not appear in the Duke of Bruce and the second Govito is here.

Leonard has nothing to do these days, so he hangs around with Duke Bruce and his second brother's family. There are many facilities that Leonard has not fully enjoyed since he made them, so he just took this opportunity to enjoy them. .

While enjoying himself, Leonard also found many areas for improvement. He asked his followers to write them down and make rectifications immediately on the same day.

On this day, Leonard and Duke Bruce returned from Bathing City, and the two chatted casually.

"When are you going back to Blazing Sun City?" Duke Bruce asked Leonard.

"After the beginning of spring." Leonard said, "But I didn't stay in Blazing Sun City for a long time."

"Huh? Why didn't you stay long?" Duke Bruce said, "Oh, you have toured the mainland this year, will you visit again next year?"

"It's not just a tour of the mainland. There are many places that need to be rebuilt." Leonard said, "I built a new fishing village in the north. You can come and have a look when you have time. The scenery there is very beautiful."

Duke Bruce: "That's right."

"You can also eat a lot of fresh seafood." Leonard continued.

"Okay, I'll definitely go and have a look." Duke Bruce immediately agreed.

"There's a lot going on next year, with the bacon processing plant and other plants," Leonard said.

"The smoked sausage processing factory!" Duke Bruce's eyes lit up. "The smoked sausages there are delicious, and even my chef can make delicious taste directly. But you produce too little, you can expand the scale." ?"

"It is possible to expand the scale, but there are not enough raw materials." Leonard said, "Actually, I wanted to tell you before that most of the Bruce family's territory is on the grassland, which is very suitable for grazing livestock. If it can be in your territory If a large number of livestock are raised, then the problem of raw materials for the smoked sausage processing plant can be solved, and maybe the smoked sausage produced can have a variety of flavors.”

"Raise livestock?" Duke Bruce said, "Well... I'd be happy to help, but actually, well, there aren't many people in Bruce's territory."

Duke Bruce was telling the truth. Although he liked smoked sausage very much, he couldn't give up too much of his interests for this one bite.The population of Eagle Bruce's territory is not large. If too many people are put into the smoked sausage factory, there will be insufficient labor in other areas.

Leonard understood that he was concerned about interests, and he smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will give you a condition that satisfies you so much that you can't refuse."

Duke Bruce has always been the more obedient one, so Leonard doesn't mind taking him with him.

Otherwise, the condition of satisfaction that cannot be refused may become an existence like Duke Brown of the Earth.

The room is not very bright, but there are many light sources.Pine logs were burning in the fireplace, so the room had a light scent of pine wood.There is a silver candlestick on the long table. The candlestick spreads out branches like a pine tree. It looks like a pagoda from top to bottom. Each branch is inlaid with a candle, and the candle burns quietly.Let the whole room diffuse a traditional, elegant and peaceful atmosphere.

In such an environment, drinking a glass of red wine together makes it easy for people to let go of their hearts and say things that they would not normally say.

Of course, Leonard did this on purpose.

During this time, as long as he talked about important things, he would meet with the nobles in this room.

I don't know if it has played a positive role. Anyway, Leonard's negotiations have achieved good results.

Of course, it may be because his own status is too high, so others dare not give him unsatisfactory results.

The two sides hit it off, Leonard asked Heshen to draft the contract, Leonard's side would contribute, and Duke Bruce's side only needed to sell the land.And Leonard will pay him taxes according to his policies.

Duke Bruce felt very satisfied immediately.

Then it's time to play around.

Leonard led them to have fun running around in the territory. Tired from playing this afternoon, they lay down in the tavern to rest.

Leonard said casually, "Let's make a bet."

"What bet?" Duke Bruce asked.

"It's a bet that the next person who comes in is left or right," Leonard said.

"What's the point of gambling," said Duke Bruce, "it's completely random."

"That's how the unknown is interesting," Leonard said.

"It makes sense." Duke Bruce was really interested.

Everyone also shouted.

Leonard said first, "I bet the left, a gold coin."

"Then I'll bet on the right," said Duke Bruce, "and a guinea."

Everyone also placed their bets noisily.

Then began to look forward to waiting for someone.

Lu Bu said: "My lord, you usually don't do this kind of thing. Did you have a guess?"

"Of course." Leonard said.

"Isn't it completely random whether you enter the door with your left foot or your right foot?" Duke Bruce said, "Is there a rule?"

"Of course." Leonard smiled triumphantly, "You saw that the people who came in recently were all people who moved things, right?"

"Yes." Duke Bruce replied, "There are not many customers at this point, they are all porters."

"It's usually carried on the right shoulder," Leonard said, "right?"

"Yes," said Duke Bruce, "unless left-handed."

"But there are fewer left-handers." Leonard said, "The weight is on the right, and there is a high probability that I will use my left foot when crossing the threshold. Therefore, I press on my left foot, and I have a better chance of winning."

Duke Bruce was taken aback by his analysis.

"Seeing the truth from the subtleties, you are worthy of being the lord." Lu Bu said.

Lu Bu's compliment did not arouse the disgust of outsiders like Duke Bruce, on the contrary, they also felt this feeling from the bottom of their hearts.

It's really no loss that he is the youngest prime minister in history!

They were immediately amazed and felt that they should have lost.

A worker carrying goods came from a distance. He approached the tavern, and then saw a group of nobles looking at him brightly.

He was taken aback and wanted to turn around and leave.

"Young man, young man." Duke Bruce shouted quickly, "Don't go, come in quickly."

So the worker came in in fear.

……

The step is the right foot.

Leonard: ...

Duke Bruce: ...

Everyone laughed together.

Leonard covered his face.

Is this the so-called fierce as a tiger in a meal, and a look at the record...?

Leonard blushed, and the veins on his forehead burst out, arguing, "This is not my analysis error, this is a crime of non-war!" One after another, there are difficult words, what "probability theory", what "" Bernoulli's Law of Large Numbers" caused everyone to burst into laughter, and the atmosphere inside and outside the store was full of joy.

Finally Leonard said: "If you don't believe me, we can squat here and wait for an afternoon. There must be more left feet!"

"Haha, I believe it, I believe it." Duke Bruce said with a smile.

Only then did he feel that Leonard was indeed a young man.

Everyone laughed together for a while, appeased the frightened worker, and made a bet that they stepped on a few left and right feet. As Leonard said, they stepped on the left foot a little more.

But everyone had had enough fun laughing at Leonard together before.

……

After sending away his second brother Vito and Duke Bruce's family, Leonard spent a lot of time in the workshop.

The current main research direction of the workshop is the steam engine.

It took less time to build the first steam engine than Leonard imagined. After testing, the results were not satisfactory, with too much loss and low efficiency.

But this already has a milestone commemorative significance. The workers in the workshop are very happy, and Leonard didn't pour cold water on them.

The next day Leonard found Cai Lun, ready to explain the matter to Cai Lun.In the end, Cai Lun said: "This steam engine consumes too much fuel, and it should be further improved."

Leonard: "Uh, ah."

Cai Lun asked, "Is the lord here doing something?"

Leonard: "Uh, it's okay."

It turned out that Cai Lun found out about it himself, and it was Leonard who thought about it.

Leonard had the impression that Watt invented and improved the steam engine. He guessed that what the workshop produced should be a steam engine that had not been improved by Watt in ancient times. Leonard thought hard all night, trying to find a few words about improvement in his memory.

As a result, the next day, Cai Lun found Leonard again and said that he analyzed it all night, and finally thought that the step of liquefying steam into water should be performed outside the steam engine, which can reduce a lot of losses.

Leonard thought, it seems that Cai Lun's steady practice and analysis are more reliable than his hard search for long-term memories.

After these two incidents, Leonard became more new to Cai Lun, and he felt more at ease leaving everything to him.

……

The snow soon fell, filling the ditches outside overnight.The brand-new Jianming City showed a different style under the white snow. Leonard gave an order first, and the official "Snow White Poetry Party" was held, and a sumptuous food was prepared, and bards were invited to compose poems and sing songs.

Leonard and Lu Bu were patrolling the territory on horseback. The frozen river showed a deep blue color. After the sun came out, the color of the frozen river changed with the light.

The main river outside is still flowing with river water, and many water conservancy projects have been built on it. It is inevitable that it will not run as smoothly in winter as in summer, but it is almost enough.

The caravan caravans in Little Thorn Castle set off one after another.

There are few caravans running back and forth in such a winter, and a snowstorm may make the caravan lose everything.But Leonard’s caravan does not have this problem. The caravan is very strong after many improvements, just like a walking caravan. Even though it is stormy outside, the inside is still warm as spring. For the cottage".In the winter when caravans are scarce, the goods of caravans are naturally welcomed by many people.

In addition, they also have a traditional art skill, which is to receive refugees.

Little Thorn Fort has expanded again and again, and its territory has annexed one-third of the Gray Mist Plain.

So more people can be accommodated.

After the snow fell, there were many traces of wild animals in the Darkmoon Forest.

But now Leonard hunts less. After all, the scale of the farm is getting bigger and bigger. If you want it, you can just catch it in the farm.

The glass greenhouse is also full of various green leafy plants, and the size of the glass greenhouse has increased a lot this winter.The nobles looked distressed, but Leonard felt that the cost of farming should not be considered.

...and the glass itself is not that expensive at his place.

Residents of Jianming City don't lack meat in winter. What Leonard didn't expect was that chicken, duck, goose and rabbit meat were the most common.

Pork is in short supply, so ordinary people can hardly eat pork. Of course, there are many chickens, ducks and geese. Leonard has previously drawn white feather chickens that were rewarded by the system. The time is extremely fast, and large-scale breeding can naturally provide a lot of meat. Classes, ducks and geese are similar.

What surprised Leonard the most was the size of the rabbit meat.

Previously, Leonard surrounded a large rabbit farm, and after assigning breeding staff, he didn't manage it much.

Later, the rabbits drawn by the system were also put into the rabbit farm. They mate freely, have sufficient food, and have no natural enemies, so they began to multiply like invasive species.Because the rabbits rewarded by the system have particularly good genes, they don't suffer from any illnesses, and most of the bred rabbits can survive, so the number skyrocketed.

Leonard didn't pay special attention to these rabbit farms, he just picked up rabbit meat from time to time, so the rabbit meat was not sold to other places, and was eaten locally.

After discovering this fact, Leonard thought it was time to promote delicacies such as spicy rabbit meat and silk-wrapped rabbit on a large scale.

Of course, the rabbit farm also needs to further expand its scale.

Speaking of which, the silk-wrapped rabbits can be kept for a period of time, and a silk-wrapped rabbit processing factory can be opened in Jianming City, and then sold to the mainland.

Leonard thought as he stood outside the meat rabbit farm.

In addition, Jianming City also eats a lot of fish.

The first is the fish in the lake water of Huxin Town, and then the sea fish.

It is worth mentioning that before Cai Lun built water conservancy, he dug many artificial rivers and connected them.

In autumn, a large number of salmon enter the freshwater river from the sea to prepare to spawn. Cai Lun built traps to catch many fish. These fish are very beautiful and delicious.

It snows one after another.

Jianming City and Little Thorn Castle are warm.

The Snow White Poetry Party will be held soon, and Leonard attaches great importance to it.Political economy determines culture, and culture also plays an important role in political economy.To develop various forms of culture, everyone needs to have the snow in the spring and the people in Liba.

The songs prepared by the bard had already been sent for review in advance, and after He Shen reviewed them, he found that there were some songs he could not be sure of, so he sent them to Leonard.

Leonard glanced at it and called him a good guy, which was too, too open.But think about those weird performances in the Middle Ages, what put honey on the O and let the bear lick it, what the whole body is naked and then blow the horn with the buttocks, what big guys sit together and read pornographic books one by one.Only, it can only be said that the folk customs are like this.

In the end, Leonard decided to leave this matter to Maester Rutherford, who is a local here, so let him decide.

There is a howling cold wind outside, a warm fireplace inside, and the rustling of quills and parchment.

Maester Rutherford spent days and nights here. Since this year, he has started to handle many things independently.

He is also mainly in charge of this Baixue poetry meeting.

It was a cold winter, the sky showed a dreamy pink in the evening, and the white snow on the branches was dyed that color by the setting sun, as if shy, like a fairy tale dream.

The room was very cozy. Leonard was sitting on the green carpet and reading a book under a light-colored blanket, while the tea next to him was steaming.

This year has just passed, and the entire continent is basically firmly in Leonard's hands.

In the next year, further construction projects can be carried out, and it is hoped that the railway can be laid next year.

With the train, transportation will be greatly improved.

It is also necessary to call craftsmen from all over the world to gather in the workshop.

Schools can also be built everywhere.

None of this was achieved overnight.

But because of this, I look forward to the future even more.
