Traitor Summoning System [Infrastructure]
Chapter 21 Cai Lun Farming · Gourmet Dinner · Higher...
Cai Lun, who appeared in front of Leonard, was wearing a high crown and Hanfu. He looked dignified, and he had quite a temperament and aura.His aura is different from Lu Bu's.
There is a saying that Cai Lun was taken away to be a eunuch because he was too beautiful when he was a child, which shows that his appearance should be good.
When Cai Lun saw Leonard, he bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, my servant."
Leonard was stunned, and then thought, oh, the system made Cai Lun directly regard himself as the emperor, and as a eunuch, he naturally had to be loyal to the emperor.
Then he paused for the title of the servant, as if the ancient eunuchs called themselves in front of the emperor.
Leonard stepped forward and held Cai Lun's hand, and said excitedly, "I've been waiting for you for a long time, I got it..."
Wait for the system, what is Cai Lun?
[...The word Jing Zhong. 】
"... I got Jing Zhong, just like Gao Zu got an ovary." Leonard continued.
Ovary is Zhang Liang, Gao Zu is naturally Liu Bang.It is very gratifying for Cai Lun to use the founding hero of the Han Dynasty to praise Cai Lun.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, the servants will solve your majesty's worries and problems," Cai Lun said.
"Don't call me Your Majesty here," Leonard said, "Call me Lord Lord, you don't have to call yourself a servant, just call yourself 'I'."
Something may happen if someone overhears your Majesty's words.
"Yes, my lord." Cai Lun's eyes sparkled brightly.
Leonard held Cai Lun's hand and led Cai Lun out with a smile on his face. When the knights outside saw another person appearing here, they immediately surrounded him nervously.
"Don't panic, everyone. This is Cai Lun. He is a bachelor from the East. He was imprisoned here by the 'Grey Wind Group'." Leonard opened his mouth and made up Cai Lun's life experience.
Cai Lun understood, and said: "Thank you, my lord, for saving my life. If my lord doesn't dislike me, I am willing to serve my lord."
When the knights heard that Cai Lun was a 'bachelor', they immediately looked at Cai Lun with respect.
In this world, not everyone can call themselves a bachelor, but a bachelor is a very honorable status.Generally speaking, in a territory, the lord is the first, and the bachelor is the second.A bachelor is equivalent to a noble.On the continent of Svia, there are only two ways to improve one's status, one is to please the lord, and the other is to study in a bachelor's college.Oh yes, there is no military knighthood system here.
"There are still some robber's supplies inside, let's move them away together." Leonard happened to push all the system's rewards to the 'Grey Wind Group', "I see that there seem to be seeds, please move carefully."
"Yes! Your lord!" the knights said beamingly.
Now the Cavaliers are not against eating vegetables.
In the past, they rejected eating vegetables, firstly because only low class people eat vegetables here, and secondly because they are used to eating cooked fruits and raw vegetables, so one can imagine how unpalatable the vegetables are.Now the lord takes the lead in eating vegetables, so they will not feel that only vegetables are eaten by inferior people. Second, under the training of the lord, the cooking skills of the cooks are getting better and better, and the vegetables are getting better and better. The more delicious it is... Suck...
After hearing that there were seeds, the knights jumped up and down and hurried into the house.
A knight came out and said, "My lord! There are a lot of logs inside, do you want to move them?"
"Move away." Leonard said a classic line: "Everyone is here."
Leonard didn't know what the fifty units of wood were for. His territory was full of forests. It seemed that the wood was useless, but since it was a lottery, let's move it back.
The two knights went back to report the news, and the slaves of Little Thorn Castle brought the cart over, while the other knights moved things happily.
Leonard watched them move things from the door of the Gray Wind Group's lair, with a smile on his face all the time.
Falcons hover in the deep blue sky, the wind blows across the grasslands, and the sea of grass is rippling.
Leonard breathed in the fresh air, and ignored the glaring looks of the 'Grey Wind Group' captives.
He looked down at his hands, there were many calluses on his hands, and his forearms were much thicker than before.If there is a mirror, you will see that he is now wearing a rat-skin vest, with a sharp-edged pigskin armor on the outside, a dagger pinned to his waist, and long golden hair tied in a dark green stone ring. He is quite like the Romans.
I have changed a lot too.
Now the food problem should be solved, and from now on it will be enough to farm the land well, then go hunting and collect the bandits around, it seems that there is nothing else to do.
Leonard thought.
The future is bright.
Cai Lun stood beside Leonard and looked at these with a smile.
Your Majesty... oh no, the soldiers of the lord look very good, did they just eradicate a group of robbers?Now carrying the robber's supplies?From their expressions, it can be seen that they should not have experienced too many battles, otherwise they would be more calm and calm, and the fact that they cherish these supplies so much shows that the lord should be relatively poor...
Cai Lun collected information calmly.
When Lu Bu came out from the inside, he saw the oriental face standing next to Leonard. Lu Bu was very pleasantly surprised in an instant. When he saw the other party's typical civilian eyes, Lu Bu changed from "very surprised" to "extremely surprised."
"My lord!" Lu Bu came out and shouted loudly.
"Fengxian, you're here." Leonard introduced: "This is Cai Lun, Cai Jingzhong. Jingzhong, this is Lu Bu. Fengxian is a titan."
"Could it be the Marquis of Cai from 'Cai Hou Zhi'? I've seen him for a long time." Lu Bu was taken aback. Of course he had heard the name of 'Cai Hou Zhi'.
Cai Lun nodded with a smile, "It's a mere name, nothing to worry about."
"What a poor name," Lu Bu said, unable to stand the self-effacing literati, "if I invent 'Caihou Paper', I can boast it for ten years."
Leonard couldn't help laughing: "It seems that you get along well, I am very happy."
Lu Bu beamed with joy: "Since Jing Zhong is here, do I not need to be the clerk?"
In history, Cai Lun respected Jiuqing and served as Shang Fangling, so he naturally had two brushes.
"You take Jingzhong to familiarize yourself with the environment first, and then hand over the work to him," Leonard said, "Then you can concentrate on running the army, and you don't have to deal with government affairs in the future."
Lu Bu was really moved to the point of tears streaming down his face: "This is really great!"
Cai Lun couldn't help laughing when he saw Lu Bu's appearance. He could roughly guess that because there was no one available around him, the lord asked General Lu Fengxian to handle civil affairs.Generals are very impatient with these things, no wonder Lu Bu showed such an expression.
It seems... Cai Lun is thoughtful, the atmosphere here is very good, and it is different from the intrigues and schemes he experienced in the past to seize power.
……
After going back and forth several times, the knights and slaves finished moving all the supplies from the "Grey Wind Group" robber den.
That 50 units of wood moved a whole trip.
Little Thorn Castle harvested so much loot that Butler Conrad laughed so hard he couldn't see it.
After looking through the goods in a hurry, he found Leonard, who was talking to Cai Lun about the basic situation here in the conference room.
"Lord, can I come in?" Conrad asked the butler.
"Come in," Leonard said.
Then he introduced Cai Lun to Steward Conrad. As usual, he said that he was a bachelor from the East, and that he would have the same status in the territory as Lu Bu.
Steward Konrad was taken aback, not because the newcomer had the same status as Lu Bu, but because the lord got another bachelor!This is simply a good omen!With the addition of Bachelor Rutherford, there are two masters in the territory!
Butler Conrad didn't forget what he was doing after being surprised. He knelt down on one knee and said, "My lord, I'm here to confess my sins."
"Confession?" Leonard asked.
Butler Conrad said: "I actually doubted the ability of the lord, and persuaded the lord to hide at that time. It is really inappropriate. I deserve death."
Leonard looked at him for a while, then chuckled: "It's not sincere at all, you laughed so hard when you pleaded guilty."
"Ahem, I'm actually very guilty. I can't help laughing because I have too many supplies. I want to hold back, but there are too many." Conrad Butler immediately put on a straight face and tried to be serious, but he still The corners of his lips raised uncontrollably, "Please forgive me, my lord, I will definitely not have any doubts in the future!"
Leonard laughed again, and Lu Bu and Cai Lun beside him also laughed.
At last Conrad Butler laughed too.
For a while, the atmosphere in the conference room was very good.
The sun shines in through the narrow window, and the fine dust in the beam of light slowly dances and rotates.
All this is completely different from when Leonard first came to Little Thorn Castle.
It can be regarded as the end of all hardships.
Leonard couldn't forget how he gnawed on the black bread in pain.
After laughing, Leonard said seriously: "Actually, it's okay to have appropriate doubts. I also need you to remind me. After all, I was living in an ivory tower before and didn't know much about some situations."
The original body was like this, and Leonard's soul was not an aborigine, but a time traveler.Lu Bu and Cai Lun summoned by the system are also outsiders, so there must be some problems with perspective.
Therefore, Leonard needs the aborigines to remind him properly.
"Okay, my lord." Butler Conrad said happily.The lord recognized him again, this feeling is really great.he thought.
From stealing and selling items from Little Thorn Castle to serving Leonard wholeheartedly, Conrad's butler has changed a lot.
"Okay, the corners of your mouth are grinning to your ears, hurry up and count the trophies, don't shake your legs in a hurry here, I want to shake my legs just looking at it." Leonard said with a smile.
"Okay! Your lord!" Butler Conrad almost jumped up and left.
He was really happy and crazy.
"My lord, can I also go over and count the spoils?" Lu Bu asked.
"Go, go, all of you," Leonard said to Lu Bu and Cai Lun.
After there was no one else in the conference room, Leonard excitedly hammered the table twice, his hands hurt, and he decided to express his excitement in another way.
Leonard was actually crazy with joy.
He turned around the room several times excitedly.
After a while, Lu Bu and Cai Lun came back and happened to bump into Leonard circling.
"Uh... my lord, what are you doing?" Lu Bu asked.
When Lu Bu saw this scene, Leonard felt a little embarrassed: "It's nothing... what's wrong?"
Lu Bu recalled the reason for his visit, and said excitedly: "That's it! Your lord! I saw the wood intercepted from the robbers. It is high-quality wood and can be used as weapons. Can you find out where the wood came from from the robbers?" ?”
"Ah, I didn't take it from the robbers either, yes, er, the reward for completing the mission." Leonard didn't need to hide it from Lu Bu and Cai Lun.
"So that's how it is." Lu Bu said, "Those woods are good materials for making bows, my lord, can I use them?"
"Of course." Leonard said, "But can you make bows and arrows?"
"Not very good, but I can study it." Lu Bu said.
Cai Lun smiled slightly at the side, "Actually, I'm better at making weapons."
Lu Bu was suspicious: "You know this? Don't you know how to make paper?"
Cai Lun was from the early Eastern Han Dynasty, and Lu Bu was from the late Eastern Han Dynasty. Although he had heard of Cai Lun, he didn't know how powerful Cai Lun was.
Cai Lun said: "I used to be the Minister of Shangshuling, in charge of Shangfang, and a weapon for the world."
Lu Bu knew what kind of organization Shangfang was, and it was a place that military generals all over the world dreamed of.
After hearing what Cai Lun said, his eyes widened in shock, and Leonard also widened his eyes in shock when he understood.
Cai Lun was born in a family of blacksmiths.
He studied in a rural school when he was a child, and he had experience in iron smelting, casting, mulberry, and planting. He was full of economics when he was a child.When he served as Shang Shu Ling, he was in charge of Shang Fang, the Shang Fang of "Shang Fang's Sword".The main function of that organization is to gather skilled craftsmen from all over the world to make various kinds of manufacturing. Cai Lun has greatly improved the manufacturing technology of various utensils, especially weapon manufacturing. He is naturally very proficient in this.
Of course, his most powerful thing is to improve papermaking.Later generations will evaluate him as a great inventor who changed the face of world culture, and it is true.
Now, such a powerful person has arrived in the territory.
Leonard was naturally very happy.
He knew that Cai Lun was powerful, but he didn't expect Cai Lun to have such a hand.
It seems that he will have to have a good chat with Cai Lun next time to see what else he can do.
Only in this way can we use (squeeze) him better.
Our side actually has such a manufacturing master!
Then Lu Bu and Leonard started circling around the room excitedly.
……
Leonard looked at the recipe for the celebration banquet submitted by the cook, and melted all the strange-shaped thick soup in it.
"I don't want any of these, just use other soups... Forget it, I'll go over and supervise it when the time comes."
The taste of those various thick soups is really terrible.
Meat, staple food, vegetables, fruits... Leonard had an idea.
"Fruit salad can be introduced at the celebration banquet, and they must get into the habit of eating fruit."
People need balanced nutrition. Leonard only has such a small number of soldiers, and he does everything possible to make them stronger.
Olive oil, sugar, milk, condensed milk, cheese... Actually, there should be some white vinegar, but there is no vinegar here, and Leonard can't make it for a while, so he uses lemon juice instead.
There was no powdered sugar, so Leonard used sugar + corn flour instead of powdered sugar.
First break the egg yolk into a bowl, add corn flour and sugar, and then start stirring until the egg liquid is thick, the color becomes lighter, and the whole volume expands to the point where it can be temporarily stopped.Then slowly add olive oil and stir again. Add olive oil and egg mixture several times to thicken to the point where it cannot be stirred. At this time, it is time to add lemon juice, and ingredients such as cream milk to improve the taste.After adding lemon juice, the egg mixture will become thinner, so you can continue to add olive oil and continue to stir.
After repeated many times, the egg liquid will be emulsified into salad dressing.
This is a very patient process. Leonard did not have this patience in his previous life, so even though he knew how to make salad dressing, he never made it himself.
After arriving here, after suffering some hardships, Leonard's character was honed.
Successful homemade salad dressing!
Leonard licked it a little, and felt that it was much more mellow than the salad dressing bought in the supermarket.
Of course, it could also be that the food here is really bad. Leonard is eating well now.
The celebration banquet started as scheduled.
The roasted lamb brushed with olive oil looks oily, and it makes people appetite.
Stir-fried asparagus with mushrooms.This is a dish made by Leonard himself. Mushrooms are rich in vitamins and trace elements, which can enhance physical strength and regulate physiological functions. They are also delicious in themselves. Asparagus has a refreshing taste and is very crisp when biting. The two match It tastes pretty good.When I smelled it before I ate it, it had a refreshing fragrance. After taking a bite, Maester Rutherford was instantly killed.
The asparagus is so tender that you can bite into the water, fresh and refreshing, without the slightest smell of pollution.Chewing hard, the fresh juice flows into the throat, mixed with the fragrance of mushrooms... It's so delicious, so delicious.Bachelor Rutherford ate a piece of roast meat, the fresh and tender gravy mixed with the sauce flowed into his throat, and then ate a piece of asparagus, a storm of fragrance swept his mouth, the fragrance of asparagus can effectively neutralize the greasyness of the roast meat, and at the same time make the taste of the roast meat more mellow tasty.
I never thought vegetables could be so delicious!I didn't expect the cooked vegetables to taste like this!However, it really is the lord who is more powerful, he can make unpalatable vegetables so delicious.
The food the knights ate was not bad either. What they ate was a feast cooked by the cooks under Leonard's guidance.
By the way, due to the expansion of the army of soldiers, Leonard recruited two new chefs in Evening Bell Town, plus a slave who can cook, now there are six chefs in Little Thorn Castle.They have a division of labor, responsible for the lord's two meals a day, responsible for the meals of the soldiers, and cook a big pot of soup for the slaves every day, very busy on weekdays.
The big ones are all kinds of barbecue, which is easier to make and is also the favorite of the soldiers.
But this time there is an extra surprise, that is fruit salad!
The delicate fruit slices, the salad dressing is slightly sour, the texture is fine and mellow, but it is very refreshing when eaten with the fruit, which contrasts with the delicious taste of the fruit.Fresh, refreshing, sweet and sour.
For the first time, they discovered that eating fruit is actually enjoyable!
And Cai Lun...
Cai Lun hugged the bright red and oily chili fried beef and ate his mouth full of oil, and at the same time was so hot that he drank the juice.
This is his first time to eat spicy food, hot chili oil, golden red beef, strong aroma, he was quickly captured by this fresh taste.
[Cai Lun's loyalty is raised to respect, plus [-] destiny points. 】
It is to increase loyalty when eating food again.
Leonard thought silently.
In the future, every time a traitor is summoned, will he be able to increase his loyalty by eating delicious food?
Now there are a total of 20 Destiny Points, and the next summon will need 400 Destiny Points, and there is still a long way to go.
But for the time being, no one else is needed, so Leonard is in a relaxed mood without any pressure.
Eat! Eat!
During the celebration banquet, Lu Bu publicly announced that all the soldiers would have a two-day holiday, and each knight would be given some silver coins. They could rest during these two days, or go to Wanzhong Town and Chaos Market.
The market Leonard took over was originally called the Chaos Market. Leonard originally thought about changing the name, but the people there were already used to calling it that, so he simply continued to use the name "Chaos Market". name.The name sounds like a fantasy game.
Leonard handed over the 50 units of wood given by the system to Cai Lun and Lu Bu directly.Leonard didn't know the use of these woods at first, and he naively thought that there were trees everywhere in the territory, but he didn't expect this wood to be of great use.
Sure enough, the system gave good things.
Leonard couldn't wait to take out the pepper seeds rewarded by the system. He didn't dare to plant them casually, so he found Cai Lun who was tinkering with Lu Bu.
"The weapons can wait for a while. There is no urgent need at the moment." Leonard said, "Let's deal with the food first."
There is chili, but chili is expensive like other spices.
Therefore, Leonard is very interested in the pepper seeds rewarded by the system.
[Extreme millet pepper, rich in VC, protein, carotene, sugar, minerals, solanine, fatty oil, etc., spicy and delicious, warming the stomach, anti-oxidation, anti-cancer, and can also be used to kill insects.It can treat stomach cold, rheumatism, low back pain, loss of appetite, etc. 】
"This is..." Cai Lun said.
Leonard thought that Cai Lun was shocked by such a good seed, but he didn't expect Cai Lun to ask, "What is this?"
……All right.
It was only then that Leonard remembered that chili peppers had not been introduced to China during the Han Dynasty. It is generally believed that chili peppers were introduced into China during the Ming Dynasty.
"This is the chili you ate last night," Leonard said.
Cai Lun: "Okay, I will grow it."
Leonard: "..."
Leonard: "Hey, okay, then you plant it."
This second answer is enough.
Looks like Cai Lun was impressed with the chilli last night haha.
So Cai Lun temporarily withdrew from the weapon and started farming.Lu Bu was crying and drawing circles in the corner. During the discussion with Cai Lun, he learned a lot of knowledge about making weapons. He felt that using those materials to make weapons was simply reckless, but now Leonard brought Cai Lun to him. After leaving, Lu Bu himself was reluctant to waste materials... Sigh.
Cai Lun first inspected the original fields of Little Thorn Castle, and asked the steward Conrad, but the steward did not know anything, and only said that the lord had ordered dung to be poured on the field some time ago.
Cai Lun was helpless. When he visited Little Thorn Castle yesterday, he found that the vegetables in the field were not growing well, but he did not expect the situation here to be so bad.
He had no choice but to come back and ask Leonard.
"Is it only manure?" Cai Lun asked.
"Yes." Leonard said.
Cai Lun said: "Different crops need different fertilizers, and manure for some plants will be counterproductive."
"I see..." Leonard said, "but I don't know what to use... Is there any other fertilizer besides manure?"
"A lot." Cai Lun said, "Just by classification, there are dozens of types, such as manure, slag manure, soil manure, green manure..."
Leonard was dizzy when he heard it: "It's so particular."
"Yes." Cai Lun said, "But my strengths are not here, so I only know a little bit."
Leonard regained consciousness this time: "I just understand a little bit."
If Cai Lun is not good at farming, it will be over.
"Yes, I have a little understanding of more than 40 kinds of fertilizers." Cai Lun said, "There are many others that are not clear, so I just understand a little."
Leonard was dizzy again.
He said dryly, "Okay, I'll leave it to you."
Finally, the big business of farming can be arranged.
More than 40 types of fertilizers!Leonard once again said with emotion that the wisdom of the ancients really cannot be underestimated.
At that time, when there was no concept of fertilizer in the Middle Ages, the ancient Chinese already had so much fertilizer.
By the way, agricultural technology is constantly developing. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, there were more than 100 kinds of fertilizers alone.This also shows the wisdom of the ancients.
Cai Lun first needs to fertilize according to local conditions.
He took a few people out for a few laps, and brought back a lot of plants.
Cai Lun first put the plants with small purple flowers on the table, and said: "This is the sweet potato." Then he put the others on the table in turn: "These are sagegrass, milk vetch, pea, and broad bean."
Leonard nodded slightly sluggishly: "I've heard of peas and broad beans."
"These are all green manures." Cai Lun smiled.
Leonard asked, "What is green manure?"
"A kind of fertilizer." Cai Lun said.
"Oh, I understand." Leonard said, he had a little impression of the concept of green manure, but he didn't quite understand it.
Cai Lun continued: "The promotion of green manure planting can not only be used directly as fertilizer, but also improve the soil. I have seen the climate and land here. It can be harvested twice a year or three times every two years, but it needs suitable crops. OK. In addition, every one or two crops are replaced with green manure to make the soil more nutritious."
"That's too particular." Leonard said, he sounded a little dizzy.
"It's not too particular," Cai Lun shook his head. "Plant different green manures in different seasons. Sow more than two kinds of green manures on the same field at the same time. Mix them in various forms such as vines and uprights, and adjust the nutrients with each other. In this way, the yield will be higher. .”
"I've heard of this too," Leonard said.
Compared with Cai Lun, I am really ignorant.Leonard burst into tears.
"Your lord, just leave this matter to me for the time being." Cai Lun said, "I heard that there was no habit of using fertilizers here before. Although my major is not in this area, I can double the crop output here. It can be done. But if you want to improve further, you need to ask the lord to summon the colleagues in charge of agriculture."
"Okay." Leonard said happily, "But it's not necessary at the moment, after all, my territory is not very large, so it's good to let everyone fill their stomachs."
Cai Lun seemed to be startled for a moment: "Isn't the Lord's ambition far away?"
Leonard was stunned, and he said truthfully: "I haven't thought about it yet."
Leonard really didn't think about the problem of going too far.
He was almost killed by robbers as soon as he crossed over, and he was tortured to death by the food inside when he finally arrived at his own territory. Now that he has finally solved the problem of food and clothing in the early stage, he suddenly asked him about his future ambitions. He was just an ordinary person in his previous life, of course. I can't answer.Lu Bu always said with great interest that he wanted a large army to sweep across the mainland. Although he verbally said "enenenenenenenenenen", he actually resisted a little. He thought it would be good for him to be a small lord.
Cai Lun didn't comment on what Leonard said. He continued to return to the topic just now: "But we need more people to farm the land. There are too few slaves in Little Thorn Castle."
"Okay." Leonard nodded, "Can we feed more people?"
"I heard that this is still a slave system. The slaves don't need to be supported by the lord, they just need to have something to eat." Cai Lun said.
"No, they can't go hungry." Leonard said, "This is my will."
"I understand." Cai Lun nodded, "If the lord is willing to exchange some treasures for more food, then it can be supported for the time being."
"Then there's no problem." Leonard said, "I'll exchange my treasures for food."
Cai Lun and Lu Bu are different from Conrad Butler.
Steward Conrad has always been thinking about issues from the perspective of nobles, so he is naturally not interested in the life and death of slaves and civilians.
Lu Bu has his own ambitions, and to put it bluntly, he can still realize his value without Leonard.
But eunuchs are different. The difference between eunuchs and other officials is that eunuchs are generally completely loyal to the emperor, and all their honor and disgrace are tied to the emperor—except of course there are always some people who hang around the sky—there are very few eunuchs. With real power, they don't want to clear their names. They understand that when they come to this point, the annals of history will not clear the names of an eunuch.So basically what the emperor said, they did.
Therefore, after Leonard said that it was his own will, Cai Lun accepted it without hesitation, and immediately thought about the problem from this perspective.
After talking with Cai Lun, Leonard sent Steward Conrad to Sunlun City to buy food again, and bought a batch of slaves by the way.
Butler Conrad led twenty knights away. This time, more things need to be transported, so more knights should be brought to prevent robbers from attacking.
Twenty knights is already a great force, and the knights of Little Thorn Castle seem to be strong and strong, so they are more deterrent than ordinary knights.
The largest bandit group in the Gray Fog Plain is gone, and no other bandit group would dare to attack them.
During this time, Cai Lun led [-] slaves to busy themselves all day long.
He took the slaves to reclaim some wasteland first, but after a busy morning, he let the slaves rest first and went to the blacksmith in Wanzhong Town to collect some agricultural tools.In the process of making farm tools, Cai Lun took the slaves to collect straw and straw and burned it into plant ash.The land to be reclaimed was turned back and forth with newly built farm tools, and after being sprinkled with plant ash and manure, a large number of bean plants were sown before the season was over.
He also took his slaves to dig ditches for water diversion, and worked all day in the fields.
Rutherford, the bachelor in the castle, heard that Leonard had found a bachelor from the East from the Gray Wind Group, and he felt a strong sense of crisis.
He is currently one of the best positions on Leonard's side, but he gradually found that the lord is becoming more and more assertive, and now he is hardly used much, but he does not dare to compete with Lu Bu for power, for fear that Lu Bu will be upset Shot him flying, and secondly, he also knew how much he was.
Now that an Eastern bachelor came, Rutherford felt that he was going to be marginalized more and more.
However, the oriental scholar named Cai Lun was soaking in the field shortly after he arrived, which made Rutherford feel a little more secure.The other party actually does this kind of thing all day long, and hangs out with the slaves.This will not pose a threat to his status.
Although Cai Lun hadn't been here for long, he was very clever, and naturally knew the people in the castle very well.Of course he could sense the hostility towards him from Bachelor Rutherford, and he was sneering in his heart.
A self-righteous person, who can't keep up with His Majesty's footsteps, only has some inappropriate cleverness, if he doesn't need to take action, he is destined to be thrown off the first step.
Cai Lun's political sense is also quite keen.
Leonard is very kind to the people below, and Cai Lun can feel it.So he was also very kind to those serfs.
Working outside in the sun, the serfs didn't know why they did this. Cai Lun explained to them with a smile, he said that these canals are used for irrigation, and everyone is strong enough to dig the canals to save money. I don't need to look at God's mood after picking water to irrigate the ground.
He said that collecting these plant seeds is used to make fertilizer, yes, it is the same as the lord's manure, which can increase the production of food, so that everyone does not need to be hungry.
No one had treated these serfs so kindly before, and those serfs became more motivated after knowing that these things were good for them.
Soon, Cai Lun's prestige among these serfs was very high.
Leonard inspected Cai Lun's work from time to time, and was amazed at what Cai Lun had done.
Professional, this is professional.
Compared with Cai Lun's clumsy fertilization before, he is really far behind.
In addition to green manure and manure, Cai Lun also took the slaves to dig humus in the forest, dig silt in the pond, and burn straw... The dryness was different all day long, and it was full of heat.
The food for the slaves was also good. Although Cai Lun knew that Leonard was eating well, he insisted on eating with the slaves.
These hardships are naturally nothing in Cai Lun's view.
Forced to leave his parents when he was a teenager, he became a eunuch and struggled to get by in the palace until he climbed to such a high position.
Needless to say, the pain I experienced during this period.
He understood the minds of the lower classes very well, and he gave Leonard a lot of suggestions, which actually changed the situation of some slaves.
"You look at the arrangement yourself," Leonard made a decision under Cai Lun's suggestion, "rebuild houses for the serfs."
"Okay, thank you Lord Lord." Cai Lun said.
There were originally more than 300 slaves, but the butler Conrad bought 400 slaves, and it is estimated that they will be back soon, so the number of slaves has become more than [-].
The more than 100 slaves had no place to live for the time being. Cai Lun temporarily set up some tents. It seemed that they had to hurry up to build new houses for the slaves.
Seeing Cai Lun temporarily arrange the agricultural affairs in an orderly manner, Leonard turned to pay attention to Lu Bu's affairs.
Lu Bu was going to recruit these bandits to surrender.
This startled Bridges and Bernie.
Surrender the robbers!How can this be?They are born villains!And they'll be messing around in their midst!
Lu Bu didn't take this seriously. Back then, the Yellow Turban Army was able to recruit, and Cao Cao's famous Qingzhou soldiers were still Yellow Turban Thieves. How many people were jealous at the time.When Lu Bu was galloping outside the pass, he often incorporated horse thieves into his team.
But Bridges and Bernie didn't dare to raise objections. They all knew how powerful Lu Bu was, and they admired Lu Bu very much in their hearts.
But now I can't help but feel a little bit of admiration...
There are only 50 of them now, 32 old men and 90 new recruits, and there are more than [-] robbers captured. This is more than the original army. This trend will lead to deviation.
Lu Bu was confident about this, and Leonard also trusted him.
After all, they were just 90 robbers.
……
Everyone was busy with their own work, but Leonard was idle.
After he was free, he also began to think about his future development route.
Of course he knew about Lu Bu's ambitions, and Leonard also understood what Cai Lun said at the time.
A small territory can't restrain them. If Leonard wants to, with the assistance of them and the system, he can do great things.
My second brother will definitely not let me go, if the eldest brother inherits from his father
There is a saying that Cai Lun was taken away to be a eunuch because he was too beautiful when he was a child, which shows that his appearance should be good.
When Cai Lun saw Leonard, he bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, my servant."
Leonard was stunned, and then thought, oh, the system made Cai Lun directly regard himself as the emperor, and as a eunuch, he naturally had to be loyal to the emperor.
Then he paused for the title of the servant, as if the ancient eunuchs called themselves in front of the emperor.
Leonard stepped forward and held Cai Lun's hand, and said excitedly, "I've been waiting for you for a long time, I got it..."
Wait for the system, what is Cai Lun?
[...The word Jing Zhong. 】
"... I got Jing Zhong, just like Gao Zu got an ovary." Leonard continued.
Ovary is Zhang Liang, Gao Zu is naturally Liu Bang.It is very gratifying for Cai Lun to use the founding hero of the Han Dynasty to praise Cai Lun.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, the servants will solve your majesty's worries and problems," Cai Lun said.
"Don't call me Your Majesty here," Leonard said, "Call me Lord Lord, you don't have to call yourself a servant, just call yourself 'I'."
Something may happen if someone overhears your Majesty's words.
"Yes, my lord." Cai Lun's eyes sparkled brightly.
Leonard held Cai Lun's hand and led Cai Lun out with a smile on his face. When the knights outside saw another person appearing here, they immediately surrounded him nervously.
"Don't panic, everyone. This is Cai Lun. He is a bachelor from the East. He was imprisoned here by the 'Grey Wind Group'." Leonard opened his mouth and made up Cai Lun's life experience.
Cai Lun understood, and said: "Thank you, my lord, for saving my life. If my lord doesn't dislike me, I am willing to serve my lord."
When the knights heard that Cai Lun was a 'bachelor', they immediately looked at Cai Lun with respect.
In this world, not everyone can call themselves a bachelor, but a bachelor is a very honorable status.Generally speaking, in a territory, the lord is the first, and the bachelor is the second.A bachelor is equivalent to a noble.On the continent of Svia, there are only two ways to improve one's status, one is to please the lord, and the other is to study in a bachelor's college.Oh yes, there is no military knighthood system here.
"There are still some robber's supplies inside, let's move them away together." Leonard happened to push all the system's rewards to the 'Grey Wind Group', "I see that there seem to be seeds, please move carefully."
"Yes! Your lord!" the knights said beamingly.
Now the Cavaliers are not against eating vegetables.
In the past, they rejected eating vegetables, firstly because only low class people eat vegetables here, and secondly because they are used to eating cooked fruits and raw vegetables, so one can imagine how unpalatable the vegetables are.Now the lord takes the lead in eating vegetables, so they will not feel that only vegetables are eaten by inferior people. Second, under the training of the lord, the cooking skills of the cooks are getting better and better, and the vegetables are getting better and better. The more delicious it is... Suck...
After hearing that there were seeds, the knights jumped up and down and hurried into the house.
A knight came out and said, "My lord! There are a lot of logs inside, do you want to move them?"
"Move away." Leonard said a classic line: "Everyone is here."
Leonard didn't know what the fifty units of wood were for. His territory was full of forests. It seemed that the wood was useless, but since it was a lottery, let's move it back.
The two knights went back to report the news, and the slaves of Little Thorn Castle brought the cart over, while the other knights moved things happily.
Leonard watched them move things from the door of the Gray Wind Group's lair, with a smile on his face all the time.
Falcons hover in the deep blue sky, the wind blows across the grasslands, and the sea of grass is rippling.
Leonard breathed in the fresh air, and ignored the glaring looks of the 'Grey Wind Group' captives.
He looked down at his hands, there were many calluses on his hands, and his forearms were much thicker than before.If there is a mirror, you will see that he is now wearing a rat-skin vest, with a sharp-edged pigskin armor on the outside, a dagger pinned to his waist, and long golden hair tied in a dark green stone ring. He is quite like the Romans.
I have changed a lot too.
Now the food problem should be solved, and from now on it will be enough to farm the land well, then go hunting and collect the bandits around, it seems that there is nothing else to do.
Leonard thought.
The future is bright.
Cai Lun stood beside Leonard and looked at these with a smile.
Your Majesty... oh no, the soldiers of the lord look very good, did they just eradicate a group of robbers?Now carrying the robber's supplies?From their expressions, it can be seen that they should not have experienced too many battles, otherwise they would be more calm and calm, and the fact that they cherish these supplies so much shows that the lord should be relatively poor...
Cai Lun collected information calmly.
When Lu Bu came out from the inside, he saw the oriental face standing next to Leonard. Lu Bu was very pleasantly surprised in an instant. When he saw the other party's typical civilian eyes, Lu Bu changed from "very surprised" to "extremely surprised."
"My lord!" Lu Bu came out and shouted loudly.
"Fengxian, you're here." Leonard introduced: "This is Cai Lun, Cai Jingzhong. Jingzhong, this is Lu Bu. Fengxian is a titan."
"Could it be the Marquis of Cai from 'Cai Hou Zhi'? I've seen him for a long time." Lu Bu was taken aback. Of course he had heard the name of 'Cai Hou Zhi'.
Cai Lun nodded with a smile, "It's a mere name, nothing to worry about."
"What a poor name," Lu Bu said, unable to stand the self-effacing literati, "if I invent 'Caihou Paper', I can boast it for ten years."
Leonard couldn't help laughing: "It seems that you get along well, I am very happy."
Lu Bu beamed with joy: "Since Jing Zhong is here, do I not need to be the clerk?"
In history, Cai Lun respected Jiuqing and served as Shang Fangling, so he naturally had two brushes.
"You take Jingzhong to familiarize yourself with the environment first, and then hand over the work to him," Leonard said, "Then you can concentrate on running the army, and you don't have to deal with government affairs in the future."
Lu Bu was really moved to the point of tears streaming down his face: "This is really great!"
Cai Lun couldn't help laughing when he saw Lu Bu's appearance. He could roughly guess that because there was no one available around him, the lord asked General Lu Fengxian to handle civil affairs.Generals are very impatient with these things, no wonder Lu Bu showed such an expression.
It seems... Cai Lun is thoughtful, the atmosphere here is very good, and it is different from the intrigues and schemes he experienced in the past to seize power.
……
After going back and forth several times, the knights and slaves finished moving all the supplies from the "Grey Wind Group" robber den.
That 50 units of wood moved a whole trip.
Little Thorn Castle harvested so much loot that Butler Conrad laughed so hard he couldn't see it.
After looking through the goods in a hurry, he found Leonard, who was talking to Cai Lun about the basic situation here in the conference room.
"Lord, can I come in?" Conrad asked the butler.
"Come in," Leonard said.
Then he introduced Cai Lun to Steward Conrad. As usual, he said that he was a bachelor from the East, and that he would have the same status in the territory as Lu Bu.
Steward Konrad was taken aback, not because the newcomer had the same status as Lu Bu, but because the lord got another bachelor!This is simply a good omen!With the addition of Bachelor Rutherford, there are two masters in the territory!
Butler Conrad didn't forget what he was doing after being surprised. He knelt down on one knee and said, "My lord, I'm here to confess my sins."
"Confession?" Leonard asked.
Butler Conrad said: "I actually doubted the ability of the lord, and persuaded the lord to hide at that time. It is really inappropriate. I deserve death."
Leonard looked at him for a while, then chuckled: "It's not sincere at all, you laughed so hard when you pleaded guilty."
"Ahem, I'm actually very guilty. I can't help laughing because I have too many supplies. I want to hold back, but there are too many." Conrad Butler immediately put on a straight face and tried to be serious, but he still The corners of his lips raised uncontrollably, "Please forgive me, my lord, I will definitely not have any doubts in the future!"
Leonard laughed again, and Lu Bu and Cai Lun beside him also laughed.
At last Conrad Butler laughed too.
For a while, the atmosphere in the conference room was very good.
The sun shines in through the narrow window, and the fine dust in the beam of light slowly dances and rotates.
All this is completely different from when Leonard first came to Little Thorn Castle.
It can be regarded as the end of all hardships.
Leonard couldn't forget how he gnawed on the black bread in pain.
After laughing, Leonard said seriously: "Actually, it's okay to have appropriate doubts. I also need you to remind me. After all, I was living in an ivory tower before and didn't know much about some situations."
The original body was like this, and Leonard's soul was not an aborigine, but a time traveler.Lu Bu and Cai Lun summoned by the system are also outsiders, so there must be some problems with perspective.
Therefore, Leonard needs the aborigines to remind him properly.
"Okay, my lord." Butler Conrad said happily.The lord recognized him again, this feeling is really great.he thought.
From stealing and selling items from Little Thorn Castle to serving Leonard wholeheartedly, Conrad's butler has changed a lot.
"Okay, the corners of your mouth are grinning to your ears, hurry up and count the trophies, don't shake your legs in a hurry here, I want to shake my legs just looking at it." Leonard said with a smile.
"Okay! Your lord!" Butler Conrad almost jumped up and left.
He was really happy and crazy.
"My lord, can I also go over and count the spoils?" Lu Bu asked.
"Go, go, all of you," Leonard said to Lu Bu and Cai Lun.
After there was no one else in the conference room, Leonard excitedly hammered the table twice, his hands hurt, and he decided to express his excitement in another way.
Leonard was actually crazy with joy.
He turned around the room several times excitedly.
After a while, Lu Bu and Cai Lun came back and happened to bump into Leonard circling.
"Uh... my lord, what are you doing?" Lu Bu asked.
When Lu Bu saw this scene, Leonard felt a little embarrassed: "It's nothing... what's wrong?"
Lu Bu recalled the reason for his visit, and said excitedly: "That's it! Your lord! I saw the wood intercepted from the robbers. It is high-quality wood and can be used as weapons. Can you find out where the wood came from from the robbers?" ?”
"Ah, I didn't take it from the robbers either, yes, er, the reward for completing the mission." Leonard didn't need to hide it from Lu Bu and Cai Lun.
"So that's how it is." Lu Bu said, "Those woods are good materials for making bows, my lord, can I use them?"
"Of course." Leonard said, "But can you make bows and arrows?"
"Not very good, but I can study it." Lu Bu said.
Cai Lun smiled slightly at the side, "Actually, I'm better at making weapons."
Lu Bu was suspicious: "You know this? Don't you know how to make paper?"
Cai Lun was from the early Eastern Han Dynasty, and Lu Bu was from the late Eastern Han Dynasty. Although he had heard of Cai Lun, he didn't know how powerful Cai Lun was.
Cai Lun said: "I used to be the Minister of Shangshuling, in charge of Shangfang, and a weapon for the world."
Lu Bu knew what kind of organization Shangfang was, and it was a place that military generals all over the world dreamed of.
After hearing what Cai Lun said, his eyes widened in shock, and Leonard also widened his eyes in shock when he understood.
Cai Lun was born in a family of blacksmiths.
He studied in a rural school when he was a child, and he had experience in iron smelting, casting, mulberry, and planting. He was full of economics when he was a child.When he served as Shang Shu Ling, he was in charge of Shang Fang, the Shang Fang of "Shang Fang's Sword".The main function of that organization is to gather skilled craftsmen from all over the world to make various kinds of manufacturing. Cai Lun has greatly improved the manufacturing technology of various utensils, especially weapon manufacturing. He is naturally very proficient in this.
Of course, his most powerful thing is to improve papermaking.Later generations will evaluate him as a great inventor who changed the face of world culture, and it is true.
Now, such a powerful person has arrived in the territory.
Leonard was naturally very happy.
He knew that Cai Lun was powerful, but he didn't expect Cai Lun to have such a hand.
It seems that he will have to have a good chat with Cai Lun next time to see what else he can do.
Only in this way can we use (squeeze) him better.
Our side actually has such a manufacturing master!
Then Lu Bu and Leonard started circling around the room excitedly.
……
Leonard looked at the recipe for the celebration banquet submitted by the cook, and melted all the strange-shaped thick soup in it.
"I don't want any of these, just use other soups... Forget it, I'll go over and supervise it when the time comes."
The taste of those various thick soups is really terrible.
Meat, staple food, vegetables, fruits... Leonard had an idea.
"Fruit salad can be introduced at the celebration banquet, and they must get into the habit of eating fruit."
People need balanced nutrition. Leonard only has such a small number of soldiers, and he does everything possible to make them stronger.
Olive oil, sugar, milk, condensed milk, cheese... Actually, there should be some white vinegar, but there is no vinegar here, and Leonard can't make it for a while, so he uses lemon juice instead.
There was no powdered sugar, so Leonard used sugar + corn flour instead of powdered sugar.
First break the egg yolk into a bowl, add corn flour and sugar, and then start stirring until the egg liquid is thick, the color becomes lighter, and the whole volume expands to the point where it can be temporarily stopped.Then slowly add olive oil and stir again. Add olive oil and egg mixture several times to thicken to the point where it cannot be stirred. At this time, it is time to add lemon juice, and ingredients such as cream milk to improve the taste.After adding lemon juice, the egg mixture will become thinner, so you can continue to add olive oil and continue to stir.
After repeated many times, the egg liquid will be emulsified into salad dressing.
This is a very patient process. Leonard did not have this patience in his previous life, so even though he knew how to make salad dressing, he never made it himself.
After arriving here, after suffering some hardships, Leonard's character was honed.
Successful homemade salad dressing!
Leonard licked it a little, and felt that it was much more mellow than the salad dressing bought in the supermarket.
Of course, it could also be that the food here is really bad. Leonard is eating well now.
The celebration banquet started as scheduled.
The roasted lamb brushed with olive oil looks oily, and it makes people appetite.
Stir-fried asparagus with mushrooms.This is a dish made by Leonard himself. Mushrooms are rich in vitamins and trace elements, which can enhance physical strength and regulate physiological functions. They are also delicious in themselves. Asparagus has a refreshing taste and is very crisp when biting. The two match It tastes pretty good.When I smelled it before I ate it, it had a refreshing fragrance. After taking a bite, Maester Rutherford was instantly killed.
The asparagus is so tender that you can bite into the water, fresh and refreshing, without the slightest smell of pollution.Chewing hard, the fresh juice flows into the throat, mixed with the fragrance of mushrooms... It's so delicious, so delicious.Bachelor Rutherford ate a piece of roast meat, the fresh and tender gravy mixed with the sauce flowed into his throat, and then ate a piece of asparagus, a storm of fragrance swept his mouth, the fragrance of asparagus can effectively neutralize the greasyness of the roast meat, and at the same time make the taste of the roast meat more mellow tasty.
I never thought vegetables could be so delicious!I didn't expect the cooked vegetables to taste like this!However, it really is the lord who is more powerful, he can make unpalatable vegetables so delicious.
The food the knights ate was not bad either. What they ate was a feast cooked by the cooks under Leonard's guidance.
By the way, due to the expansion of the army of soldiers, Leonard recruited two new chefs in Evening Bell Town, plus a slave who can cook, now there are six chefs in Little Thorn Castle.They have a division of labor, responsible for the lord's two meals a day, responsible for the meals of the soldiers, and cook a big pot of soup for the slaves every day, very busy on weekdays.
The big ones are all kinds of barbecue, which is easier to make and is also the favorite of the soldiers.
But this time there is an extra surprise, that is fruit salad!
The delicate fruit slices, the salad dressing is slightly sour, the texture is fine and mellow, but it is very refreshing when eaten with the fruit, which contrasts with the delicious taste of the fruit.Fresh, refreshing, sweet and sour.
For the first time, they discovered that eating fruit is actually enjoyable!
And Cai Lun...
Cai Lun hugged the bright red and oily chili fried beef and ate his mouth full of oil, and at the same time was so hot that he drank the juice.
This is his first time to eat spicy food, hot chili oil, golden red beef, strong aroma, he was quickly captured by this fresh taste.
[Cai Lun's loyalty is raised to respect, plus [-] destiny points. 】
It is to increase loyalty when eating food again.
Leonard thought silently.
In the future, every time a traitor is summoned, will he be able to increase his loyalty by eating delicious food?
Now there are a total of 20 Destiny Points, and the next summon will need 400 Destiny Points, and there is still a long way to go.
But for the time being, no one else is needed, so Leonard is in a relaxed mood without any pressure.
Eat! Eat!
During the celebration banquet, Lu Bu publicly announced that all the soldiers would have a two-day holiday, and each knight would be given some silver coins. They could rest during these two days, or go to Wanzhong Town and Chaos Market.
The market Leonard took over was originally called the Chaos Market. Leonard originally thought about changing the name, but the people there were already used to calling it that, so he simply continued to use the name "Chaos Market". name.The name sounds like a fantasy game.
Leonard handed over the 50 units of wood given by the system to Cai Lun and Lu Bu directly.Leonard didn't know the use of these woods at first, and he naively thought that there were trees everywhere in the territory, but he didn't expect this wood to be of great use.
Sure enough, the system gave good things.
Leonard couldn't wait to take out the pepper seeds rewarded by the system. He didn't dare to plant them casually, so he found Cai Lun who was tinkering with Lu Bu.
"The weapons can wait for a while. There is no urgent need at the moment." Leonard said, "Let's deal with the food first."
There is chili, but chili is expensive like other spices.
Therefore, Leonard is very interested in the pepper seeds rewarded by the system.
[Extreme millet pepper, rich in VC, protein, carotene, sugar, minerals, solanine, fatty oil, etc., spicy and delicious, warming the stomach, anti-oxidation, anti-cancer, and can also be used to kill insects.It can treat stomach cold, rheumatism, low back pain, loss of appetite, etc. 】
"This is..." Cai Lun said.
Leonard thought that Cai Lun was shocked by such a good seed, but he didn't expect Cai Lun to ask, "What is this?"
……All right.
It was only then that Leonard remembered that chili peppers had not been introduced to China during the Han Dynasty. It is generally believed that chili peppers were introduced into China during the Ming Dynasty.
"This is the chili you ate last night," Leonard said.
Cai Lun: "Okay, I will grow it."
Leonard: "..."
Leonard: "Hey, okay, then you plant it."
This second answer is enough.
Looks like Cai Lun was impressed with the chilli last night haha.
So Cai Lun temporarily withdrew from the weapon and started farming.Lu Bu was crying and drawing circles in the corner. During the discussion with Cai Lun, he learned a lot of knowledge about making weapons. He felt that using those materials to make weapons was simply reckless, but now Leonard brought Cai Lun to him. After leaving, Lu Bu himself was reluctant to waste materials... Sigh.
Cai Lun first inspected the original fields of Little Thorn Castle, and asked the steward Conrad, but the steward did not know anything, and only said that the lord had ordered dung to be poured on the field some time ago.
Cai Lun was helpless. When he visited Little Thorn Castle yesterday, he found that the vegetables in the field were not growing well, but he did not expect the situation here to be so bad.
He had no choice but to come back and ask Leonard.
"Is it only manure?" Cai Lun asked.
"Yes." Leonard said.
Cai Lun said: "Different crops need different fertilizers, and manure for some plants will be counterproductive."
"I see..." Leonard said, "but I don't know what to use... Is there any other fertilizer besides manure?"
"A lot." Cai Lun said, "Just by classification, there are dozens of types, such as manure, slag manure, soil manure, green manure..."
Leonard was dizzy when he heard it: "It's so particular."
"Yes." Cai Lun said, "But my strengths are not here, so I only know a little bit."
Leonard regained consciousness this time: "I just understand a little bit."
If Cai Lun is not good at farming, it will be over.
"Yes, I have a little understanding of more than 40 kinds of fertilizers." Cai Lun said, "There are many others that are not clear, so I just understand a little."
Leonard was dizzy again.
He said dryly, "Okay, I'll leave it to you."
Finally, the big business of farming can be arranged.
More than 40 types of fertilizers!Leonard once again said with emotion that the wisdom of the ancients really cannot be underestimated.
At that time, when there was no concept of fertilizer in the Middle Ages, the ancient Chinese already had so much fertilizer.
By the way, agricultural technology is constantly developing. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, there were more than 100 kinds of fertilizers alone.This also shows the wisdom of the ancients.
Cai Lun first needs to fertilize according to local conditions.
He took a few people out for a few laps, and brought back a lot of plants.
Cai Lun first put the plants with small purple flowers on the table, and said: "This is the sweet potato." Then he put the others on the table in turn: "These are sagegrass, milk vetch, pea, and broad bean."
Leonard nodded slightly sluggishly: "I've heard of peas and broad beans."
"These are all green manures." Cai Lun smiled.
Leonard asked, "What is green manure?"
"A kind of fertilizer." Cai Lun said.
"Oh, I understand." Leonard said, he had a little impression of the concept of green manure, but he didn't quite understand it.
Cai Lun continued: "The promotion of green manure planting can not only be used directly as fertilizer, but also improve the soil. I have seen the climate and land here. It can be harvested twice a year or three times every two years, but it needs suitable crops. OK. In addition, every one or two crops are replaced with green manure to make the soil more nutritious."
"That's too particular." Leonard said, he sounded a little dizzy.
"It's not too particular," Cai Lun shook his head. "Plant different green manures in different seasons. Sow more than two kinds of green manures on the same field at the same time. Mix them in various forms such as vines and uprights, and adjust the nutrients with each other. In this way, the yield will be higher. .”
"I've heard of this too," Leonard said.
Compared with Cai Lun, I am really ignorant.Leonard burst into tears.
"Your lord, just leave this matter to me for the time being." Cai Lun said, "I heard that there was no habit of using fertilizers here before. Although my major is not in this area, I can double the crop output here. It can be done. But if you want to improve further, you need to ask the lord to summon the colleagues in charge of agriculture."
"Okay." Leonard said happily, "But it's not necessary at the moment, after all, my territory is not very large, so it's good to let everyone fill their stomachs."
Cai Lun seemed to be startled for a moment: "Isn't the Lord's ambition far away?"
Leonard was stunned, and he said truthfully: "I haven't thought about it yet."
Leonard really didn't think about the problem of going too far.
He was almost killed by robbers as soon as he crossed over, and he was tortured to death by the food inside when he finally arrived at his own territory. Now that he has finally solved the problem of food and clothing in the early stage, he suddenly asked him about his future ambitions. He was just an ordinary person in his previous life, of course. I can't answer.Lu Bu always said with great interest that he wanted a large army to sweep across the mainland. Although he verbally said "enenenenenenenenenen", he actually resisted a little. He thought it would be good for him to be a small lord.
Cai Lun didn't comment on what Leonard said. He continued to return to the topic just now: "But we need more people to farm the land. There are too few slaves in Little Thorn Castle."
"Okay." Leonard nodded, "Can we feed more people?"
"I heard that this is still a slave system. The slaves don't need to be supported by the lord, they just need to have something to eat." Cai Lun said.
"No, they can't go hungry." Leonard said, "This is my will."
"I understand." Cai Lun nodded, "If the lord is willing to exchange some treasures for more food, then it can be supported for the time being."
"Then there's no problem." Leonard said, "I'll exchange my treasures for food."
Cai Lun and Lu Bu are different from Conrad Butler.
Steward Conrad has always been thinking about issues from the perspective of nobles, so he is naturally not interested in the life and death of slaves and civilians.
Lu Bu has his own ambitions, and to put it bluntly, he can still realize his value without Leonard.
But eunuchs are different. The difference between eunuchs and other officials is that eunuchs are generally completely loyal to the emperor, and all their honor and disgrace are tied to the emperor—except of course there are always some people who hang around the sky—there are very few eunuchs. With real power, they don't want to clear their names. They understand that when they come to this point, the annals of history will not clear the names of an eunuch.So basically what the emperor said, they did.
Therefore, after Leonard said that it was his own will, Cai Lun accepted it without hesitation, and immediately thought about the problem from this perspective.
After talking with Cai Lun, Leonard sent Steward Conrad to Sunlun City to buy food again, and bought a batch of slaves by the way.
Butler Conrad led twenty knights away. This time, more things need to be transported, so more knights should be brought to prevent robbers from attacking.
Twenty knights is already a great force, and the knights of Little Thorn Castle seem to be strong and strong, so they are more deterrent than ordinary knights.
The largest bandit group in the Gray Fog Plain is gone, and no other bandit group would dare to attack them.
During this time, Cai Lun led [-] slaves to busy themselves all day long.
He took the slaves to reclaim some wasteland first, but after a busy morning, he let the slaves rest first and went to the blacksmith in Wanzhong Town to collect some agricultural tools.In the process of making farm tools, Cai Lun took the slaves to collect straw and straw and burned it into plant ash.The land to be reclaimed was turned back and forth with newly built farm tools, and after being sprinkled with plant ash and manure, a large number of bean plants were sown before the season was over.
He also took his slaves to dig ditches for water diversion, and worked all day in the fields.
Rutherford, the bachelor in the castle, heard that Leonard had found a bachelor from the East from the Gray Wind Group, and he felt a strong sense of crisis.
He is currently one of the best positions on Leonard's side, but he gradually found that the lord is becoming more and more assertive, and now he is hardly used much, but he does not dare to compete with Lu Bu for power, for fear that Lu Bu will be upset Shot him flying, and secondly, he also knew how much he was.
Now that an Eastern bachelor came, Rutherford felt that he was going to be marginalized more and more.
However, the oriental scholar named Cai Lun was soaking in the field shortly after he arrived, which made Rutherford feel a little more secure.The other party actually does this kind of thing all day long, and hangs out with the slaves.This will not pose a threat to his status.
Although Cai Lun hadn't been here for long, he was very clever, and naturally knew the people in the castle very well.Of course he could sense the hostility towards him from Bachelor Rutherford, and he was sneering in his heart.
A self-righteous person, who can't keep up with His Majesty's footsteps, only has some inappropriate cleverness, if he doesn't need to take action, he is destined to be thrown off the first step.
Cai Lun's political sense is also quite keen.
Leonard is very kind to the people below, and Cai Lun can feel it.So he was also very kind to those serfs.
Working outside in the sun, the serfs didn't know why they did this. Cai Lun explained to them with a smile, he said that these canals are used for irrigation, and everyone is strong enough to dig the canals to save money. I don't need to look at God's mood after picking water to irrigate the ground.
He said that collecting these plant seeds is used to make fertilizer, yes, it is the same as the lord's manure, which can increase the production of food, so that everyone does not need to be hungry.
No one had treated these serfs so kindly before, and those serfs became more motivated after knowing that these things were good for them.
Soon, Cai Lun's prestige among these serfs was very high.
Leonard inspected Cai Lun's work from time to time, and was amazed at what Cai Lun had done.
Professional, this is professional.
Compared with Cai Lun's clumsy fertilization before, he is really far behind.
In addition to green manure and manure, Cai Lun also took the slaves to dig humus in the forest, dig silt in the pond, and burn straw... The dryness was different all day long, and it was full of heat.
The food for the slaves was also good. Although Cai Lun knew that Leonard was eating well, he insisted on eating with the slaves.
These hardships are naturally nothing in Cai Lun's view.
Forced to leave his parents when he was a teenager, he became a eunuch and struggled to get by in the palace until he climbed to such a high position.
Needless to say, the pain I experienced during this period.
He understood the minds of the lower classes very well, and he gave Leonard a lot of suggestions, which actually changed the situation of some slaves.
"You look at the arrangement yourself," Leonard made a decision under Cai Lun's suggestion, "rebuild houses for the serfs."
"Okay, thank you Lord Lord." Cai Lun said.
There were originally more than 300 slaves, but the butler Conrad bought 400 slaves, and it is estimated that they will be back soon, so the number of slaves has become more than [-].
The more than 100 slaves had no place to live for the time being. Cai Lun temporarily set up some tents. It seemed that they had to hurry up to build new houses for the slaves.
Seeing Cai Lun temporarily arrange the agricultural affairs in an orderly manner, Leonard turned to pay attention to Lu Bu's affairs.
Lu Bu was going to recruit these bandits to surrender.
This startled Bridges and Bernie.
Surrender the robbers!How can this be?They are born villains!And they'll be messing around in their midst!
Lu Bu didn't take this seriously. Back then, the Yellow Turban Army was able to recruit, and Cao Cao's famous Qingzhou soldiers were still Yellow Turban Thieves. How many people were jealous at the time.When Lu Bu was galloping outside the pass, he often incorporated horse thieves into his team.
But Bridges and Bernie didn't dare to raise objections. They all knew how powerful Lu Bu was, and they admired Lu Bu very much in their hearts.
But now I can't help but feel a little bit of admiration...
There are only 50 of them now, 32 old men and 90 new recruits, and there are more than [-] robbers captured. This is more than the original army. This trend will lead to deviation.
Lu Bu was confident about this, and Leonard also trusted him.
After all, they were just 90 robbers.
……
Everyone was busy with their own work, but Leonard was idle.
After he was free, he also began to think about his future development route.
Of course he knew about Lu Bu's ambitions, and Leonard also understood what Cai Lun said at the time.
A small territory can't restrain them. If Leonard wants to, with the assistance of them and the system, he can do great things.
My second brother will definitely not let me go, if the eldest brother inherits from his father
