Traitor Summoning System [Infrastructure]

It took Lu Bu 20 days to recover the ninety robbers.

Let's push the timeline back half a month ago, when Lu Bu was in full swing to recover the bandits in batches.

Butler Conrad came back with a hundred newly purchased slaves. These slaves looked strong and strong, and they were all carefully selected by Butler Conrad.

In addition, according to Cai Lun's request, Conrad's housekeeper also selected a few more clever teenagers.They are more receptive to new things and have a stronger learning ability. Cai Lun is very useful to them.

On the day he came to Little Thorn Castle, Steward Conrad stood by the lakeside and said to these slaves in a majestic voice: "This is Little Thorn Castle, where you will live in the future."

Butler Conrad was wearing a noble coat trimmed with white fluff, looking very imposing and intimidating.

It was hot now, and the air was humid and suffocating.The hot and humid air covered the land like a blanket, suffocating the slaves.The slaves immediately became more awed by Conrad's butler in noble attire (...).

There is no way, most of the aristocratic costumes are thick, and Conrad the butler did so in order to stand up in front of these slaves.It's also kind of funny.

Butler Conrad continued to say in a loud voice: "You are now the private property of Lord Leonard Gustav von Green! You are lucky, because Lord Green is a benevolent Lord. However, you need to remember that no lazy person who steals, rapes, and tricks will be tolerated here, and the dignity of Thorn Green cannot be offended!"

Butler Conrad stepped aside and bowed deeply to Leonard beside him, "Lord, the slaves have arrived."

Leonard smiled and nodded, "Thank you for your hard work." Then he turned to look at the slaves, and said, "Now, you can bow down to your master."

"Lord Lord."

All the slaves knelt down, with their foreheads on the ground, and responded in unison.

"Yeah." Leonard nodded, "Okay, I've worked hard for you all the way back. You can go to rest today and have dinner with other slaves tonight. The big pot of soup here tastes pretty good."

These slaves raised their heads in a daze, and saw Leonard smiling at them.

A lord who would smile at slaves...

The setting sun scattered on the lord's body, the wind blew away his hair, and the bright light shone in his cold blue eyes in the joyful broken gold.

The smile on his lips reminded them of the statues of gods in front of the church.

The light of the setting sun dyed the evening clouds in the sky red, and the strong wind blew them in another direction.

This was the first impression these slaves had of Little Thorn Castle.

That night, they were shocked by the slave meals in Little Thorn Castle. After listening to the native slaves here telling them about the treatment of slaves here, they were all dizzy and felt like they were in heaven.

The next day, these slaves were taken over by Cai Lun.

"My name is Cai Lun, and I am a bachelor." Cai Lun said straight to the point.

At that time, the lord himself said that he was a bachelor, so he would not refute it. What's more, he now understands how precious the status of "Bachelor" is in the mainland, so he will make good use of it.

When the slaves heard that Cai Lun was a bachelor, they immediately showed expressions of awe.

In their eyes, a bachelor is a person who knows everything. They know astronomy, geography, medicine, when it rains and when the wind blows, and all kinds of legends and stories. They even know magic.

For the lord, the bachelor is an important staff member and the second person in the territory.Taken together, the bachelor played the role of a counselor + encyclopedia + "Playboy" magazine.Because the bachelors know all kinds of stories, the lord can tell stories to the lord when he is bored.

"You can tell us what special talents you have, and this will give you better treatment." Cai Lun continued.

Special talent?

The hundred slaves looked at each other, and no one stood up for a while.

Cai Lun said patiently: "It's fine to be able to build a house, cook, blacksmith, and make tools."

A swarthy boy stood up and said timidly, "I, I'm good at fishing."

The slave next to him immediately laughed.

One of them said: "Bob, you lost your status as a free citizen because you were caught fishing in the river without authorization. How dare you say that you are good at fishing?"

At this time, everything in the territory belongs to the lord. If you don't catch fish within the specified time, you will be punished if you are caught.

The policies of each period are different. In some periods, even civilians are not allowed to go to the forest to collect firewood, because the trees in the forest belong to the lord.

Cai Lun raised his hand to stop them, and he said kindly: "Very well, then you go here. Mario, give him two copper coins."

The slave named Mario immediately stepped forward and gave Bob the two companions.

The slave named Bob suddenly opened his eyes wide.

The other slaves also opened their eyes wide.

Is this even possible?

Is fishing actually a talent?

The crowd was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly there was an explosion.

"I'm good at picking mushrooms, I know a lot of mushrooms!"

"Master Bachelor, I can climb trees, I am very good at climbing trees!"

"My lord, my lord, I can cook..."

"My lord, no matter how many beans I eat, I won't fart!"

The slaves scrambled to tell.

...But there seems to be some strange things mixed in.

Cai Lun patiently screened out those with special talents, and then recorded them one by one.

This stems from the conversation between Leonard and Cai Lun before buying slaves.

Before buying slaves, Leonard said: "If we buy another hundred slaves, there will be more than 300 slaves. This is not a small number."

"Yes." Cai Lun said, "Compared to the population here, this is indeed not a small number."

"Some slaves should actually have other possibilities. It's too wasteful to let them work blindly." Leonard said.

"But we also need a lot of slaves to work for us." Cai Lun said.

"I understand what you mean, but we should make the best use of everything and put people in the right position." Leonard said, "We have few people, so we should pay more attention to this." This is also the result of Leonard's deliberation , "For example, a slave is very talkative and good at doing business, but his physical fitness is not good. Why not let him go out with our caravan to sell goods? This is much better than letting him continue farming."

Cai Lun was startled after hearing this.

Leonard's words just now revealed the most basic and most important imperial art - the art of royal servants.

Seeing Leonard developing towards Mingjun, Cai Lun felt his heart become a little hot.

"I understand, my lord." Cai Lun said.

"Well, so I thought, you register all the more than 200 slaves, it's a census. Register their names, what they are good at, their relatives, etc., and put the right people in the right place." Lun "It's a big project," Nader said.

"I understand, it is to manage them according to the household registration system." Cai Lun said, "If they commit crimes, they will not even sit."

China's household registration system originated very early, and it existed in the Warring States Period.

"They are managed according to the household registration system." Talking to Cai Lun is easy. Leonard said something to Bachelor Rutherford before. Bachelor Rutherford didn't have that concept at all, so it was very difficult to communicate. "But you don't even need to sit down." Leonard added, "Criticism and education are the main thing. Of course, if you do something excessive, you need to be severely punished. The other thing is to make the best use of everything, pay attention to this." He thought for a while , Said: "It's better to have a clearer division of labor, and you can recommend yourself, let the slaves do what they are good at, so that the effect will be higher."

"Self-recommendation... that won't work." Cai Lun frowned, "Then what if all the slaves rush to do the easy work?"

Leonard said: "Let's set a unified standard. If you do well, you will be rewarded. If you do not do well after you recommend yourself, you will be punished. Of course, there is no need for corporal punishment. Just fine them with food, a bowl of beans, etc. .”

"What about the reward?" Cai Lun asked.

"Copper coins." Leonard thought for a while and said.

"Giving slaves too much money doesn't do much good," Cai Lun said.

"But this is for ordinary slaves," Leonard said. "We will treat slaves better and better."

"That's true." Cai Lun said, "In this case, we have to have an internal market, so that the money in their hands can be spent. Now slaves can't spend money even if they have money."

Leonard: "Hey, can I leave the matter of the internal market to you?"

Cai Lun: "..."

Cai Lun was silent.

He suddenly felt Lu Bu's pain.

Lu Bu couldn't do many things back then, so he didn't spread out to do them.

Now that Cai Lun can do it, he has more and more tasks on him.

Cai Lun: "...My lord, when will you summon the third colleague?"

Leonard: "Cough cough cough cough..."

Could it be that he squeezed Cai Lun too hard?

Now there are a total of 180 destiny points, and the next summon needs 400 destiny points, and there are a full 220 destiny points.

As time passed, as Leonard grew up, it became more and more difficult to obtain Destiny Points.

It used to be possible to add 5 or 10 by saying some lines in the second grade, but now it is completely useless, because the protagonist has "growth" to this point, and then needs further "growth" to get destiny points.

Leonard covered his face: "I'll try my best..."

Cai Lun also covered his face: "Okay..."

……

The first thing Cai Lun did was to continue to fertilize the existing land, and the fertilizer was basically ready.

As a result, Cai Lun told them to stop as soon as they started fertilizing, and then he went to the blacksmith to ask the blacksmith to make the farm tools for fertilization, and continued to fertilize after the farm tools were finished.

Secondly, Cai Lun took the slaves to cut trees, saying that he would build new houses for the slaves. Cai Lun told them to stop when he started cutting trees, and then he went to the stonemason to make a more labor-saving axe. After the ax was made, they started cut down trees.

After the tree was cut, it was time to deal with the wood. Cai Lun told them to stop when they started to deal with the wood, and then Cai Lun went to make the utensils for dealing with the wood...

Back and forth like this, Cai Lun was about to collapse.

On this day, Leonard was going to read under the statue in the atrium, and then saw Cai Lun floating past like a ghost.

"Well, Jing Zhong, I haven't seen you these days." Leonard said aloud.

Cai Lun said blankly with dark circles under his eyes: "My servant has seen His Majesty, oh, fortunately, I see that His Majesty doesn't need other tools... Oh, it's not His Majesty, it's the lord... I'm sorry, this servant forgot. Oh, it's not my servant, it's me. sorry I forgot."

Leonard: "Pfft."

Leonard: "Cough, take a rest, Jing Zhong, I think you are not in a good mental state now."

Cai Lun was silent for a while, and suddenly felt sad: "My lord! Why! Why is all this! Why do I get stuck on tools every time I want to do something? Why are there no suitable tools here! Why? They don't even use tools to eat, why can't they learn how to use chopsticks (chopsticks), why are all of this!"

Leonard: "..."

Leonard patted Cai Lun on the back, "Be good, don't cry, be good."

The corners of Cai Lun's mouth trembled twice, and he really cried.

Seeing that Cai Lun was in a very bad state of mind at this time, Leonard forced Cai Lun to rest.

As soon as Leonard came out of Cai Lun's bedroom, he saw a slave running over. Leonard stopped him: "Don't wake up Bachelor Cai Lun, let him have a rest."

When the slave saw that it was Leonard, he immediately knelt down in fear: "My lord, I have met my lord."

"En." Leonard said, "Get up, why are you looking for him?"

The slave said: "That's it. The second batch of trees arranged by Master Cai Lun has been cut, and the first batch of wood has been processed according to what he said. Let me ask you what to do next."

"Let me go and have a look," Leonard said.

A lot of wood has been piled up on the east side of the lake in the castle. In addition, there is a grass called havass, which is very tough after being dried in a special way, so the local people weave them into roofs and canopies.

Leonard didn't quite know how Cai Lun planned to use these timbers to build a house. He saw that the slaves had dug out the foundations.

He had seen Cai Lun's design drawing, with a bunch of data and calculation formulas marked on it, and he fainted on the spot.

Leonard has always been very bad at mathematics. Speaking of aftermath, it means trauma in English. Leonard thinks this word is simply too appropriate.

Those slaves gathered together, waiting for Cai Lun to make the next arrangement.

After Leonard came, they immediately knelt down and saluted.

In this world, free people only need to bow when they meet the lord, but slaves have to put their foreheads on the ground.Otherwise, he would be beheaded-but this is another way of touching the forehead to the ground.

"Scholar Cai Lun is exhausted. I told him to rest. Rest if you want to rest today, and continue digging ditches with energy." Leonard doesn't know how to build a house, but he knows how to dig ditches anyway: " Today, those who dig ditches get two coppers."

A slave said: "My lord, we don't want copper coins. Anyway, if we have copper coins, there is no place to spend them."

This is the same as what Cai Lun thought, the slaves really have no place to spend money.

It seems that the internal market has to be brought up quickly.

"Then those involved in digging the canal can have dinner with the soldiers tonight." Leonard said, "Of course you can also choose to rest."

Leonard originally thought that most of the people would rest, because the slaves' dinner is not too bad now, but he didn't expect that most of the slaves still left to dig the canal, and they were working hard.

This is mainly because Cai Lun has gotten along well with them recently, including digging canals, and Cai Lun explained why he did every job.

The slaves all knew that these things were good for them, so they naturally worked very hard, and almost didn't need a supervisor.

The new slaves quickly became acquainted with the old slaves, and everyone was friendly to each other.

Leonard was inspecting the work, and then he heard a low singing.

He followed the singing and saw that it was a small slave singing.He sang very intoxicated, humming and digging ditches, and he didn't even notice that Leonard was beside him.

Leonard didn't interrupt him, and after he finished singing a short section, Leonard asked, "What song are you singing?"

The slave was taken aback, and he immediately dropped the shovel and knelt down and said, "Yes, I'm sorry Lord Lord, I'll dig the canal right now. I won't be distracted."

"It's okay, I was asking what song you sang." Leonard said, "Don't be afraid."

"Singing the song of our homeland," said the slave.

"That's nice." Leonard said, "Come here, stop digging. What's your name?"

"Mario. Do you have any orders from the lord?" the slave named Mario asked.

"You stand here and sing, sing loudly, sing to them, this is your task today." Leonard said.

"Lord, lord..." Mario said timidly.

"This is not a punishment, you sing very well." Leonard said, "Such a beautiful singing voice should be heard by everyone, so as to reduce everyone's fatigue."

"Okay, my lord!" Mario was encouraged and began to sing loudly.

The singing is melodious, and it is generally about a young shepherd breaking into a forest while shepherding sheep, and seeing a celebration of the forest elves.It was several years later when he came out, everyone he knew was dead, and everyone who knew him was also dead, only the village remained.Everyone thought he was a fool, and after handing over the sheep to him, he began to herd the sheep.He herded the sheep every day, stopped talking, sat on the rock and sang late into the night every day, no one paid attention to him, only the children often sat beside him and listened to his songs until he passed away.

"Long afterward, they still sing that ballad." The last line is repeated twice.

It's a sad ballad, but beautiful enough.

It's a bit like the feeling of Lanke Qiyuan. It seems that there are such stories of a dream for thousands of years in ancient and modern China and abroad.

"What does this mean." A slave asked while digging a canal, "It's a few days and a few years, I don't understand."

"Stupid, it means he went to the forest and met the elf, he thought it was only a few days, but it was many years outside." said another slave with a mustache.

"But why is that so?" asked the slave slave at first.

"Because it's an elf, and elves have magic," said the mustache slave.

"Are there really elves in the world?" asked the third slave, who was younger.

"You should talk while digging the canal. If you stop what you're doing and chat, I'll beat you until you see the elf." The mustache slave said ferociously.

"Haha, I'm going to dig now, I'm going to dig now, the lord hasn't spoken yet." The young slave said.

Leonard smiled: "When you are tired, you can take a short break. Today is not a prescribed task, but now it is voluntary labor."

"My lord, you know everything. Do you know that there are elves in this world, my lord?" the young slave asked.

"I have seen records of elves and wizards in some books, but I have grown up and been to many cities, and there is no sign that there is magic in this world." Leonard said, "It may only exist in In a fairy tale."

"There is no magic... I feel so lost." The young slave said decadently.

"Yeah, there's no magic..." said another slave.

"Since the lord has said so, there really is no magic in this world." said the third slave.

"Whether there is magic or not doesn't matter to you! It's good to fill your stomach well, and magic, magic." The mustache slave said.

"Having said that, it's a shame to have no magic." said the slave at the beginning.

"...That's right, there is no magic." The mustache slave sighed after finishing speaking.

Leonard couldn't help laughing.

They looked like boys who knew that 'there is no Ultraman in the world'.

This reaction is kind of funny.

"That's not it!" A younger slave suddenly said angrily, "There is still magic in this world."

"Oh?"

"The lord gave us such delicious food. I never ate such delicious food when I was a free citizen. Besides, the lord is so powerful that he can increase the food production. Isn't this magic?" said the slave.

So the other slaves showed suddenly enlightened expressions.

"yes……"

"The lord has magic."

"It turns out that magic is by my side."

Then the big guys started talking about Leonard's work.

Leonard was a little embarrassed to hear that, he felt that he hadn't done enough yet.

...However, this feeling is really good.

"I never knew work could be so much fun," said one slave.

"The lord is actually chatting with us here."

"And you can listen to music."

"While chatting and working at the same time, I don't feel tired."

The slave said sincerely: "This feeling is really good."

The words in my heart were suddenly spoken by others.

Leonard couldn't help but rolled his eyes with a smile.

"Yes, it feels good."

……

Cai Lun slept until the middle of the month before waking up.

He got up from the bed, looked at the time, and thought in his heart that it was over, this delayed the progress of the afternoon, how many things would be delayed.

He ran outside while arranging his clothes, and bumped into Leonard when he passed the main hall.

"My lord!" Cai Lun immediately screamed.

"What's wrong?" Leonard was startled by Cai Lun.

Cai Lun screamed and said: "Delayed the progress of work all afternoon!"

Leonard laughed: "Don't worry, I'll take the slaves to dig the canal this afternoon."

"But the house, the house, and other jobs..." Cai Lun said.

"Don't be too anxious." Leonard held Cai Lun's hand and led Cai Lun to the restaurant, "Eat something, drink some wine, and continue to rest. Your body is the most important thing. I got you, Taizong got it Same as Wei Zheng."

"Who is that?" Cai Lun asked.

"Oh, that's the dynasty behind you..." Leonard thought for a while, and then said the previous one: "It's like the Qin State won Shang Yang..."

"Shang Yang was torn apart by the car." Cai Lun said.

Leonard: "... Anyway, you are very important, you are very important to me. Don't be ridiculous."

"I'm sorry, my lord." Cai Lun immediately admitted his mistake.

"It's okay. In short, you need to pay attention to your body." Leonard said awkwardly, then he thought for a while, and continued: "When the people under my command often say their allegiance to me, they swear to die. Every time they That being said, I will always tell them, I don’t want you to die, I want you to live well, and only by living well can you continue to be loyal to me, and only by living well can you witness everything that will happen next.”

Cai Lun was at a loss for a while, then nodded: "I see..."

How long had he not experienced this feeling?

Ever since entering the palace at the age of ten, she hasn't felt half sincere.

And he had forced himself to forget about the things before the age of ten.Because it is impossible to live in the palace with such a warm past and always affected person, not only other people will force you to death, but you will also force yourself to death.

Is this the way of the lord's royal servants?

If yes, it doesn't matter.

"You have been too tired during this time, and your body is not good, so, train your body with Lu Bu tomorrow morning." Leonard said.

Cai Lun: ...

Cai Lun wanted to suck back the emotion just now.

"I have also been exercising with Lu Bu, and my body is much better now than in the past." Leonard said.

Cai Lun: "Okay, okay, follow orders, my lord."

Leonard continued: "Come on, I'll ask the kitchen to bring some dishes, and then you can drink some wine to help you sleep. Take a good rest and relax. Some things have to come slowly. I was too anxious before."

Cai Lun hesitated to speak: "My lord..."

Leonard continued: "Don't worry, take your time. Come and drink some wine, come, I'll pour it for you myself."

Cai Lun: "My lord, no, I mean, I don't need to drink anymore, I can fall asleep, the wine here is too bad."

Leonard: ...

The embarrassment that had just disappeared reappeared.
