Traitor Summoning System [Infrastructure]

The wine here is really bad.

People in this continent are used to drinking, not because they like drinking in the bottom of their hearts, but because they can't drink water, so they can only drink.This is similar to the European Middle Ages.

There isn't much clean water at this time of year - just think of all the poop flying around.No one, including civilians, would want to drink such polluted water.

Of course, the most important point is that people here find that drinking that kind of water directly is too easy to suffer from diarrhea, illness or even death, so they seldom drink water directly.

...But Leonard refused to think about what kind of water was used to brew wine here.

After all, alcohol has a bactericidal effect, so it is better to drink alcohol.

And how bad is the wine here?

To put it simply, the taste of the nobles' drinks is not bad, that's for sure.

But Leonard is poor, and Wanzhong Town is also poor. They don't need and won't brew that kind of wine with good craftsmanship.When I set off from Linye City, the quality of the beer I carried was not bad, and it tasted normal.But these days, after drinking those wines, I just drink beer bought from Wanzhong Town and Chaos Bazaar. The taste is really strange, and it really has all kinds of flavors.

It reminded Leonard of Bibi's Beans from Harry Potter.

Last night, Leonard asked his servant to pour him some beer, which really smelled like slop.When Leonard smelled it, he thought to himself, I'll go, what does it smell like!Why don't you try it, maybe there will be a surprise?

Then he took a sip.

I go!This is too surprising!This is much worse than imagined!

Leonard thought that he might be too pampered, so he gave the beer directly to the servant, and the servant almost vomited after taking a sip: "This taste is really terrible, Lord Lord."

Well, it's not that I was spoiled, it's that this beer is indisputably bad!

Leonard was a little thirsty. When he arrived in the kitchen, the cook was busy bacon.

"My lord." The cook saluted immediately after seeing Leonard coming.

"Yeah." Leonard said, "Go get some water and boil it."

"Okay." The cook said, "Is your lord cooking?"

"No." Leonard said, "I want to drink water."

The cook said: "The boiling water is very hot, my lord, and you will get sick if you drink it."

She thought that the lord is very kind to them, so I have to consider the lord wholeheartedly.

"If the water is boiling hot, let it cool and drink it." Leonard said.

"Then why not directly cold water?" The cook showed a bewildered expression.

Even though she was very considerate of the lord, she was at a loss.Are nobles all this weird?Is it a waste of firewood to deliberately boil the water and then let it cool?

Leonard suddenly had a headache.

Oh yes, people here don't have the concept of pasteurization, and they think that boiling water and letting it cool is no different from cold water, and think it's just superfluous.

In ancient China, not only boiled water for drinking, but also a method of water disinfection and purification appeared.

well.Can't compare can't compare.

Leonard thought for a while, and found an excellent saying: "There is a kind of devil called bacteria in ordinary water. After we boil the water, the devil will be scalded to death, and it will not cause damage to our body. So you won’t get sick. The purpose of boiling water is to scald the devil to death, and you can just let it cool when you drink it.”

What he said fit the situation here.

The cook suddenly realized: "So that's the case, the lord is really very wise!"

"I also read it in the book," Leonard said.

This also reminded him.

The next day, Leonard called Bachelor Rutherford and said to Bachelor Rutherford, "I want to implement a policy in my territory."

"My lord, please tell me." Maester Rutherford said.

"Require everyone to drink boiled water." Then Leonard said aside the idea of ​​the bacteria devil.

Bachelor Rutherford asked: "My lord, there is no such thing in the teaching of the Green God."

Leonard coughed and said, "I converted to another sect."

Maester Rutherford nodded, "I see."

Faith is not strong on this continent, and it is normal for a person to suddenly convert to another sect.

Because of this, there are too many sects, so it is normal for a bachelor to have sects that he does not know.

And there is nothing wrong with the Lord Lord promoting his own sect within the territory.

Maester Rutherford continued: "But the commoners may not have enough firewood to boil water."

Firewood expenditure is one of the main expenditures of civilian life.

"Then allow everyone to go to the forest to collect firewood," Leonard said.

"My lord, you are really too generous." Bachelor Rutherford couldn't help but said.

"This is also for the promotion of teachings." Leonard quickly found the starting point, and then he thought about it, and then asked from another angle: "Does brewing beer require food?"

"Yes," said Maester Rutherford.

"If everyone prefers to drink water instead of beer, can it save a lot of food in disguise?" Leonard asked.

Maester Rutherford froze for a moment: "Yes..."

"And there are more firewood in the forest, and I don't need it for the time being. Food is more precious than firewood in the forest." Leonard said, "Just do as I said."

"Okay, my lord." Maester Rutherford said.

Another important thing has been done.Leonard thought.

Coal was already available in this period, but coal was not liked, the smell of burning was terrible, reminiscent of sulfur, hell.

The houses here have not yet developed to the point where there are chimneys, so one can imagine the smell of the house when burning coal.

Nobles disdain the use of coal.

There are no coal mines here, so civilians don't use coal.

As for brewing...

"Can you make wine?" Leonard asked Cai Lun.

"I've only seen the method of making wine, but I don't know how to pay too much attention to it." Cai Lun confessed truthfully, "I will only order that every family make wine."

"Haha, okay." Leonard smiled. He didn't expect Cai Lun to be so humorous: "Let's wait later, maybe I will summon someone who can make wine."

"Then General Lu must be looking forward to it." Cai Lun said.

Lu Bu, who had no wine, felt that he was about to die.

The current situation here in Little Thorn Castle is that the military officer is used as an almighty person, and the civil servant is used as an entire institution. ①

Fortunately, Lu Bu and Cai Lun are both powerful people, so they can hold on.

……

Cai Lun was put to sleep by Leonard the day before.

In the early morning of the next day, Cai Lun immediately went to the outer court of the castle and began to lead the slaves to continue building the house.

"Scholar Cai Lun, how is your health?"

"Yesterday, the lord said that you are tired, you must pay attention to your health."

The slaves all cared about Cai Lun very much, and greeted him one after another.

Cai Lun was also a little moved, he nodded, "I will pay attention, thank you everyone."

When the slaves heard that the dignified scholar actually thanked him, they immediately fell in love with Cai Lun even more.

We had breakfast together and started building the house.

Because it has been prepared in advance, and there are a full three hundred slaves available, the speed of building the house is very fast.

The foundations of these houses are all made of rammed earth, which is a traditional material in ancient Chinese architecture, which means compacted soil.

The ancient Chinese buildings were mainly made of wood, and soil played a supporting role, but it was also very important.

Cai Lun only 'knows a little' about building houses, and he doesn't know how to build houses, but his knowledge reserve is enough to frighten the people on this land.

These houses are wooden houses with a bucket-through structure. Among the three major structures in the Han Dynasty, the bucket-through style is the most economical and labor-saving, so it is best used here.

One of the characteristics of the bucket structure is that the roof trusses are first assembled on the ground, and then put up.

There are no tools here, only people. Cai Lun racked his brains and used various methods, and finally succeeded in building the house.

On the day when the roof was erected, Leonard watched from the side, watching the trees that had successfully erected the roof reach the roof, and the slaves cheered.

Leonard said with emotion: "Scholar Cai Lun is really amazing."

Bachelor Rutherford looked at the complex structure of the building and was shocked.

This, this is the building designed by this oriental bachelor?

This oriental scholar actually knows this?

And the house that looks so powerful was built for slaves?

Isn't this oriental scholar messing around with slaves all day long... and eating with slaves, completely ignoring his own identity.

Maester Rutherford looked at the building and suddenly didn't know what to say.

He also knew that the lord valued slaves, but what he still thought of was the low status of slaves.

Now he can still think about it, ah, this oriental scholar actually built a house for slaves, and he, the dignified Bachelor Rutherford, would not do such a lowly thing.

But Maester Rutherford found that he could no longer deceive himself.

He saw the slaves erecting the roof trusses while shouting slogans.

He saw that the slaves sincerely admired Cai Lun.

He saw that when the roof was erected, all the slaves were cheering loudly, and the oriental scholar was also smiling.

Under the leadership of the Eastern scholars, the vigor displayed by all the slaves is undoubtedly a more shocking force than the roof itself.

Maester Rutherford's lips were a little dry.

The other party is the real capable person, but he has been mocking the other party in his heart.

He was the one who was really redundant. He didn't help the lord at all.

The lord has made a decision, and he helps carry it out. This is his only role.Oh, and tell stories to the lord.

He found that if he didn't do something, sooner or later, his status would be lower and lower.

Cai Lun walked towards Leonard with a smile on his face, and said, "My lord, the trusses are up, and the house will be built soon. I originally planned to lay tiles, but found that the tiles could not be made in a while, so I planned to temporarily The roof is made of havas grass, covered with soil, and made into a sloping roof, which can also handle heavy rain.”

Havas grass is a kind of grass that is often used as a roof cover in the local area, and it is full of toughness.

Cai Lun also made these houses according to the local conditions.

"Okay, I'll leave these to you." Leonard said, "It's really hard work for you."

"This is my duty, Lord Lord." Cai Lun said, "I will continue to go there first."

"Okay." Leonard Hongshuo.

Maester Rutherford next to him suddenly called out, "Master Cai Lun."

"Yeah." Cai Lun stopped.

"Do you need my guidance? Uh, I mean, do you need some help?...Uh, I mean, I don't have anything to do recently, can I participate in what Bachelor Cai Lun is currently doing?" Rutherford The bachelor said with difficulty, changing his words several times in the middle.

Cai Lun smiled: "Of course, it is my honor to work with you."

Cai Lun had previously disapproved of Bachelor Rutherford. He could see that Bachelor Rutherford disdained slaves, and he could also see the truth about Bachelor Rutherford.

But now, Cai Lun was ecstatic.

There is someone who can help (squeeze)!

I don't have to do anything!

Wahahahahahaha--

Cai Lun really wanted to look up to the sky and smile.

Naturally, Leonard didn't know about their mental activities, and he was very relieved to hear Maester Rutherford say that.

As a leader, he naturally hoped that the people under him would be useful.

……

Leonard led five knights and five slaves through the edge of the forest.

The forest was overgrown with poplars, cypresses, pines, and elms, as well as trees Leonard didn't recognize.The river meanders through the forest, and there will be some fish and shrimp in it.Leonard extended civilian fishing to a full month, with one last chance before winter.This gives civilians more opportunities to eat fish.Raspberry vines climbed the trees, and the lovely fruit looked bright.

"My lord, where are we going? This direction is going to the seaside." Deputy Captain Bernie said.

"Yes, I have been here for so long, and I have never seen the sea." Leonard said.

To the north of Little Thorn Castle is the sea, and the distance from Little Thorn Castle to the sea is not too far. If you ride a horse faster, you will arrive in less than an hour.

"Then why did the lord still let us take the basket?" Deputy Captain Bernie asked.

"Pick up something to eat on the beach," Leonard said.

"Pick up something to eat on the beach?" Deputy Captain Bernie said curiously, "Eat shells?"

Yes, Leonard was talking about catching the sea.

There are quite a lot of people who eat fish in this land, let’s learn more about pickled herring...

All they eat are sea fish, and they don't eat much freshwater fish. The specific reasons have already been mentioned before.

There are also those who eat shells, usually, usually in stew... Learn more about pumpkin and clam cream soup.

This place is not far from the sea, but it doesn't depend on the sea to eat the sea, which makes Leonard feel very surprised. He has long wanted to visit the seaside.

This day Leonard listened to Lu Bu and Cai Lun report on their recent work, and after confirming that there was nothing else to do today, he took a group of people to the beach.

It would be great if the sea can be exploited and utilized.

Leonard took some sea catching tools and asked everyone to put on gloves.

At this time, the medical conditions are not good, and there are many bacteria on the seafood. It is not good to scratch your fingers by stones or seafood. If you get infected, something serious will happen.Refer to the horse king with the first chest of Binghuo.

"There are many good things in the sea," Leonard said.

"I know, there's cod, and there's pearls," said Deputy Captain Burney.

"Not only that, but there are many more things." Leonard said, "The locations of Little Thorn Castle and Evening Bell Town are actually quite good. When I first came here, I felt very bad. Everything was bad, but Now I find that this is a treasure land."

"Treasure land?" Deputy Captain Bernie said curiously.

It was the first time he heard someone describe this land like this.

In the past, everyone said with one voice that it was too poor.

"Yes." Leonard said, "Treasure land."

He didn't dare to say much in front of bachelors, but he started to talk a lot in front of ordinary people.

"The value of the ocean is almost greater than the value of the cultivated land. The soil here is not bad, and there are forests and oceans." Leonard said, "So it is a treasure land."

"Yes, there are many things in the forest." Deputy Captain Bernie said, "But there are also hidden dangers."

"Yes, so it is necessary to develop these resources in an organized way. If they are messed up one by one, there will be danger everywhere." Leonard said.

"Yes." Deputy Captain Bernie said, "Everyone goes hunting in the forest in teams, and the danger is reduced."

"In the future, I will gradually organize civilians to go together," Leonard said.

"The lord is really too generous." Deputy Captain Bernie said, "Distribute your own things to the civilians."

"Not really." Leonard said, "How do you think the territory develops?"

Deputy Captain Bernie immediately said: "Rely on the wise lord!"

Leonard laughed: "Okay, okay, rely on the wise lord, then I have to work harder to be wise, so that I can develop the territory well."

Deputy Captain Bernie said: "The lord is already very powerful."

"Okay, I won't listen to your flattery." Leonard said, "The development of the territory depends on the people in the territory, and it also depends on you knights."

Vice-captain Bernie immediately became proud: "We can protect the territory! We can also wipe out the bandits, uh, and we can also rob them to develop the territory."

Leonard laughed: "Yes." But Captain Bernie's last sentence is a bit interesting haha.

"Then, if everyone in the territory has money, people from outside will want to come to our territory, and the number of people in our territory will increase. Then merchants will also come and bring various commodities. The more people, the more taxes, the wasteland is reclaimed, Wanzhong Town becomes bigger, I have money, and let everyone build more facilities together... In this way, the territory will develop."

Vice-captain Bernie was dizzy when he heard it. He thought for a while, and suddenly realized: "So that's the case! So the lord must first make the common people rich."

"Yes, let everyone in the territory work hard," Leonard said.

"But civilians are lazy," said Deputy Captain Burnie. "They only care about whether they can get enough to eat."

"People are like this," Leonard said, "So, besides survival, what do you think can make people strive for strength?"

"Uh, uh, dream?" Deputy Captain Bernie asked.

"Wrong, it's money." Leonard said, "It's copper coins, silver coins, and gold coins."

What motivates a person to work every day?

Of course it is money!

As a modern person, Leonard naturally holds such an idea.

It is different for dreamers, it is not the alarm clock but the dream that wakes them up, but for most people, it is the alarm clock that wakes them up, and it is the rule that if you are late, you will be deducted.

Therefore, in the long run, the first thing Leonard should do is, first, make the people in the territory rich;

That's the long-term way.

It is useless to make money if you have money but nowhere to spend it.

Moreover, everyone is most serious only when working for themselves.

Just look at the increasingly motivated slaves in Little Thorn Castle.

They walked forward while chatting, and soon reached the beach.

The purpose of catching the sea is to go to the reef area. Leonard was a foodie in his previous life, and he was also a good cook.His university is by the sea, so he has often been to the sea, and he still has a lot of experience in the sea.

It was a coincidence that the tide was low when they reached the beach, but it seemed that it would be a while before they could officially start to catch the sea.

So Leonard let the slaves sing a song. They were blowing the sea breeze on the beach, admiring the sea, listening to the song, and feeling happy.

Soon the tide receded to almost the same position. Leonard got up from a rock, led everyone to the beach, and ordered: "You start looking here, shells, crabs, throw everything you can find into the basket. Beach There are holes in it, oh..." He looked at the ground while walking, "Yes, it's this kind of hole, you squat down and look, is it still bubbling? There are delicious things in it."

Salt can be used to hang out the razor clams. Leonard brought some salt this time, but he didn't want to waste it. He wanted to dig it first.

Then Leonard asked a few slaves to start digging.

"Will there really be something?" Deputy Captain Bernie asked with interest.

His grade is not very old, less than twenty, and he is still a student in modern times, so he is naturally very interested in encountering such things that he has never seen before.

"There's a lot of water down there," said one of the slaves.

"It's okay, keep digging," Leonard said.

The two slaves took turns digging, and soon Leonard harvested the first razor clam, a grayish-yellow strip with its tongue sticking out.

"This is razor clam." There is no word 'razor clam' here, so Leonard said it in Chinese, and then he made an exaggerated expression and said, "It's very delicious, very delicious."

As soon as it said 'very delicious', the knights and slaves present immediately stared at this razor clam with very engrossing eyes.

Leonard now understands the thoughts of these people very well.

"Okay, those who want to find razor clams can spread out to look for razor clams. If you see something strange on the beach, you can dig it, the ones that spray water, the ones with holes, and the ones that spit bubbles. Things, if they are dead, don’t want them, these things are poisonous to eat after they are dead. But remember to wear gloves. The rest will follow me.” Leonard received it concisely.

Leonard walked a few steps and saw a small bag bulging on the beach, so he stopped.

"What is this?" Vice Captain Bernie asked excitedly.

"Should be clams," Leonard said.

Lieutenant Bernie made a vomit face: "Cream Chowder..."

"I know that clams are delicious, especially delicious. So go and dig." Leonard said.

Deputy Captain Bernie immediately dug enthusiastically, and sure enough, he found a clam, "Ah, there are really clams!"

"There are usually clams in this kind of small bag." Leonard said with a smile, "Go dig the one over there, it should be there too."

"Ah! Your lord! Your lord!" shouted a slave over there.

"What's wrong?" Leonard walked over.

The slave said, "Here is a large shell, and a crab, which seems to want to eat this shell."

It was a big clam. Leonard and Deputy Captain Bernie walked over and saw the crab circle around the clam, and then stretched its pincers in.

"It's so pitiful." Deputy Captain Bernie said, "The shells are eaten alive like this."

The crab's pincers penetrated into the clam, and the clam's shell was closed at once, and the crab's pincers were crushed on the spot.

Deputy captain Bernie: "..."

Deputy Captain Bernie: "It's so pitiful, the crab's pincers were crushed alive like this."

Leonard snorted, "Okay, take the crab and the shell away." This is a swimming crab, and this season is not a good time to eat crabs, but it has already come to them, and it is not for nothing.

Then, imitating the voice of Deputy Captain Bernie, Leonard said, "It's so pitiful, these two will be eaten alive by us."

"Hahaha..." Everyone suddenly laughed.

Deputy Captain Bernie scratched his head and smiled too.

For a time the beach was full of cheerful atmosphere.

Everyone dispersed and started looking for things individually.

Leonard picked up a crab and threw it into the basket, and said, "Look hard, there are extra meals for tonight."

A slave held a crab and asked, "Lord, do we have one too?"

"All, all." Leonard said, "But yours is too small, throw it back."

The slaves cheered together, and immediately looked for seafood with more energy.

A knight was a little tired after searching for a while. He looked at the shells he found, "After working for so long, I guess I just found something for a meal."

"Otherwise, what do you think?" Leonard said, "It's very tiring to find food."

"It's easier than usual work," said one slave.

The knight said unconsciously: "Slaves are also very hard."

"En." Leonard glanced at the knight in surprise, and then said with a smile: "But this is also given to us by Haibai, so it still feels good to take it. Ah, there!"

Leonard ran over there in one stride, and caught a shrimp that was trying to get into the sand.

"Haha," he laughed out loud, "Giwei Shrimp!"

Jiwei shrimp is generally called sand shrimp, and its scientific name is Penaeus prawn. Needless to say, this kind of shrimp is delicious, and what's even better is that its vitality is very tenacious, and it can be cultivated artificially.Seeing the prawns, Leonard already thought of raising prawns.

Everyone was in high spirits, and the baskets were getting fuller.

The tide started to rise, and Leonard yelled at everyone to call it a day.

He looked at the sun and wrote down the approximate time of the sun, but he felt that he was lonely, and he probably couldn't see the time through the sun.

"With our booty, it's time to go back," Leonard said.

Leonard threw some unfamiliar things directly into the sea. Although it might be edible, Leonard didn't want to take the risk.Then he threw back the crabs that were too small and the others that were too small.

Leonard also found some shiny eggs on the beach, and yelled at everyone to throw them into the sea together.

"To be sustainable," Leonard explained, "we throw the eggs into the ocean, and they all hatch, and there are plenty of fish for the next year."

"So that's what it is," said Deputy Captain Bernie.

On the way back, everyone was beaming with joy, and the slaves were even more happy.

But they still can't eat these seafood today, Leonard asked them to put these seafood in a bucket and spit sand, explaining that they will be able to eat it.

Leonard went to take a shower, and then came out to look at the seafood: "Good guy, put the crabs on the other side, you put the crabs and shells together, are you going to let the crabs eat the buffet?"

Everyone laughed and hurried to do so.

It is really great to have such a lord.

These slaves and knights thought from the bottom of their hearts.
