Traitor Summoning System [Infrastructure]
Chapter 33 Welcome Banquet·Stainless Steel Kitchen Knife·Harvest...
Leonard got the third summoned treacherous minister——Gongsun Sheng.
After getting Gongsun Sheng, he felt more and more that the people summoned by the system were bizarre. This is definitely a character in a novel, and the standard for judging treacherous ministers is also... um... From the perspective of imperial power, the water in Liangshan All members should be regarded as traitors, after all, they are all traitors.
Wouldn't the scope of treacherous officials be even wider, and it seems that this treacherous minister may not be a derogatory term now.
Leonard slandered in his heart.
After talking briefly with Gongsun Sheng, Leonard asked the servant Cronin to call Lu Bu and Cai Lun, saying that it was something urgent.
Cronin came in as soon as he came out, and Leonard said without raising his head, "I told you to call Feng Xian and Jing Zhong over."
"Er, Lord Lord, we are here." Lu Bu said awkwardly.
Leonard raised his head and saw Lu Bu and Cai Lun's expressions of anticipation and embarrassment. Leonard was also embarrassed, and then laughed.
Well, Lu Bu knew that Leonard could summon new colleagues, so he quickly notified Cai Lun, and then the two waited outside.
As soon as the servant Cronin was ordered to go out, he saw these two big men outside, so he came in again. It was Leonard who wrongly blamed Cronin.
After Cronin left, Leonard introduced them to each other.
"This is Daoist Gongsun Sheng. The Taoist name is Mr. Yiqing. You are from the Han Dynasty. Later, the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Tang and Song Dynasties, he was in the Song Dynasty." Leonard said, "Mr. Yiqing, this is Lu Bu, Fengxian; this is Cai Lun, Jing Zhong, you should know these two."
Of course Gongsun Sheng knows Lu Bu and Cai Lun. Many heroes in the Water Margin are closely related to the heroes in the Three Kingdoms. Lu Bu's 'Little Wen Hou' Lu Fang.
Lu Bu and Cai Lun were very surprised to see that Leonard summoned a Taoist priest of later generations, and then saw the bearded Taoist priest shout loudly: "I have seen the two brothers!"
Lu Bu's mind buzzed for a moment.
There seemed to be a big black man shouting "brother, brother" in front of his eyes... It really brought back all kinds of unpleasant memories, and the corner of Lu Bu's mouth twitched.
Cai Lun was embarrassed for a second, but Cai Lun was worthy of being Cai Lun, and he quickly accepted this setting. He handed over: "We will be colleagues from now on, Mr. Yiqing can just call me by my name."
Gongsun Sheng said to Leonard: "I didn't expect my brother to summon these two masters before. Sheng will be able to work with the two brothers in the future. I am really terrified."
This brother comes and goes...
After Lu Bu heard that Gongsun Sheng was also called Brother Leonard, the corner of his mouth twitched for a second time, and he said, "Mr. Yiqing, we all call him Lord Lord here, and do as the Romans do. You should call him that, just in case, Well, in case there is any trouble."
Cai Lun wanted to call Leonard 'Your Majesty' at the beginning, but this can't be called, it will really cause trouble.
And Lu Bu said that... probably because he didn't cause any trouble that made his fist harden.
Or 'I call him daddy, you call him brother, you call me brother too, we each call our own. '
What the hell is this.
Gongsun Sheng looked at Leonard. Leonard understood Lu Bu's thoughts, so he suppressed a smile and said, "Well, it's fine to call me that, and you don't have to follow the old Liangshan rules. It's good for everyone to be friends with each other as equals."
"That's good, my lord." Gongsun Sheng didn't insist, but said so.
He was originally a Taoist priest with wild cranes, but in the den of robbers who drank and ate meat, he was like an outlier when he kept himself clean.To be honest, his sense of belonging to Liangshan is not that strong, otherwise he wouldn't have left Liangshanbo twice.
When the three of them met, Cai Lun briefly told Gongsun Sheng the current situation in Leonard's territory. Gongsun Sheng knew that he had to make a difference, so he made a few comments, which made Cai Lun immediately express his gratitude to this Taoist priest from Song Dynasty. With admiration.
Only then did Leonard say: "Mr. Yiqing used to be the second army division of a huge force."
Cai Lun immediately became even more awe-inspiring.
To be honest, Leonard really lacks such a great strategist by his side.
Cai Lun is a civil servant, but he is not familiar with these strategies, and Gongsun Sheng knows the art of war, and he knows how to use gossip formations and other magical formations.
After the three met, Leonard introduced Gongsun Sheng to other important figures in Little Thorn Castle, including the two housekeepers, Mayor Parker, and the current caravan leader Dorothea.
"Mr. Yiqing is, uh, another bachelor from the east. He and Bachelor Cai Lun used to be classmates and friends, so this time I came here to find Bachelor Cai Lun. Seeing the prosperity here, I stayed and built the territory together." Lun Nader said.
Well, the person summoned next time should say that he is Gongsun Sheng's friend.
Next time it will be a friend of a friend.
Plan pass.
You can't keep running into Eastern Bachelors again and again, you have to find a reason.
Everyone was very pleasantly surprised when they heard that there was another bachelor in the territory.
It is already surprising that there are two bachelors in such a large territory, but now there are three, isn't it God's blessing?
Afterwards, the bachelors and generals will become bigger and bigger, and everyone will be paralyzed. This is not God's blessing, it is going against the sky...
That night, Leonard held a welcome banquet for Gongsun Sheng in the big restaurant.
Because Gongsun Sheng is a vegetarian, the banquet is basically vegetarian, and there are some desserts.
Speaking of vegetarianism, Western churches often have fasting days, but during fasting days, priests will find various ways to eat meat and fish.For example, they think that fish is not considered meat, so they can eat fish during fasting; then they think that some water birds have webbed feet, so they are not considered meat, and ungrown rabbit embryos are not considered meat, and neither are beavers, because Live in the water... Some churches even raise rabbits in the backyard to improve priests' meals.
What is this called.
When Leonard was preparing the dinner, he thought of fasting in the West. In their opinion, seafood is definitely not considered meat, so he wanted not to persuade Gongsun Sheng to eat some seafood, saying that it would not be considered a breach of the fast.But then he felt that there was no need for him to eat like this. If someone is a vegetarian, why would he do everything possible to make him break the precept? He is not full of food or has any other perverted hobby.
So this dinner is all vegetarian dishes, various vegetables, fruits, bean sprouts, sargassum, and seaweed.
Gongsun Sheng didn't drink alcohol either, so instead of wine, various fruit juices and milk were served at the banquet.
When he first went to Liangshan to help the world and save the people, Leonard understood that even though Gongsun Sheng called him 'Lord Lord', he should still treat him with heart.
Stir-fried cabbage.
The peppers in the field are already ripe, and those peppers are oily and fragrant after frying.The method of this dish is very Chinese. After the oil is fried, the cabbage and the chopped millet pepper are fried together.Control the oil well, not too much and cause greasy.The taste is slightly spicy, not heavy, and overall it is very refreshing. Coupled with the natural oyster sauce here, the surface of the cabbage is slightly burnt, and the various flavors complement each other, which is delicious.
The potato soup next to it tasted mellow, the potatoes were stewed, the starch melted in the soup, the bread was dipped in the soup, and the soup soaked the bread, making the taste of the bread very good, soft and fragrant, and the taste buds jumped for joy.
The soup is seaweed egg drop soup, add a little sesame oil and a little oyster sauce, and the taste will be very authentic.The fragrance is light, but after reaching the mouth, it has a delicious aftertaste.
And there is jelly.Gongsun Sheng is full of praise for the lovely color, exquisite shape and delicate taste of the jelly.
"This is really what the gods in the sky eat. How did this thing come from? Is it made by alchemy? It's the same as tofu?"
Leonard suppressed a smile and said, "That's not true, it was made by later generations."
After a meal, they took a walk in the castle courtyard.
The starry sky is unbelievably beautiful.
Transitioning from dark blue to light blue and then to golden orange below, a crescent moon is shining in the gradient, like a burning half-moon iron block on the night, the moonlight is burning.
The stars are like luminous dust, randomly scattered on the night, messy but beautiful.
With this situation and the Taoist priest next to him, it feels very good.Leonard thought.
...It's a pity that the other party has a beard on his face.
Gongsun Sheng said with emotion: "This is really a meal for gods."
It is certain that his food is delicious, but Leonard has never heard the reminder of Gongsun Sheng's loyalty, so he simply asked directly: "Is Mr. Yiqing not satisfied?"
"That's not the case." Gongsun Sheng shook his head, "I'm a cultivator, so I should be vegetarian."
"But what I eat today is all vegetarian." Leonard said, knowing that some people think that onion, ginger and garlic are considered meat, so he didn't put those.
"Being a vegetarian is not a vegetarian." Gongsun Sheng said: "Being a vegetarian is to restrain one's own desires and warn oneself not to covet these enjoyments, and the food here is so delicious, so even though it is vegetarian on the surface, it is actually already vegetarian. Lost the meaning of fasting."
"Oh." Leonard was a little disappointed: "I just want to make you happy."
Gongsun Sheng smiled: "My lord, I am very happy, but... Well, I understand what I should do more than appetite. So in the future, I will eat some ordinary things."
"Okay," Leonard said.He began to admire Gongsun Sheng. Not everyone can refuse such delicious food, and not everyone knows what they should do and do it.
"From now on, your power in Little Thorn Castle will be equal to that of Feng Xian and Jing Zhong, so you can directly order the people under you to do whatever you want," Leonard said.
"Okay, Lord Lord." Gongsun Sheng nodded: "I don't know what Lord Lord wants me to do?"
"I have some ideas, but I need to know your talents in detail before I can decide." Leonard said.
"Okay, my lord, what do you want to know?" Gongsun Sheng asked.
"I want to ask about coal. You seem to know a lot about coal." Leonard said, "I want to promote the use of coal in the territory."
"Why?" Gongsun Sheng asked.
"First of all, coal can promote metallurgy." Leonard said, this is what Cai Lun said. Many processes cannot be done by simply burning wood, and the speed is too slow. "Then, most people burn firewood now. It’s too inconvenient, you have to go to the forest to pick it up, and you have to collect it in advance in winter, but the winter is so long, no matter how much firewood you collect, it will always freeze.”
"Should the coal be mined and sold to the people?" Gongsun Sheng asked.
"People in my territory can directly receive part of the coal, and buy the rest, but the price will be lower." Leonard said: "But it seems that there are other issues involved, such as their houses have to install chimneys..." Lun Nader thought of going elsewhere.
Gongsun Sheng said: "But in this way, the lord will make less profit."
"It is my biggest profit that the people in the territory will no longer suffer from the cold," Leonard said.
Gongsun Sheng became serious, and he asked earnestly, "Will the lord always be like this?"
"Of course." Leonard said without hesitation.
Overhead is a bright starry sky.
In front of him are his bright eyes.
Gongsun Sheng bowed: "Gongsun Sheng, I am willing to serve the lord."
At the same time, Leonard heard the system prompt:
[Gongsun Sheng's loyalty index has risen, plus 20 destiny points. 】
It turns out that not everyone can rely on delicious food. For Gongsun Sheng, caring for the common people in the world can improve his loyalty.
It turned out to be the case.
Leonard's expression became serious: "I understand, please Mr. Yiqing supervise me from time to time so that I don't forget what I said today."
"That's natural." Gongsun Sheng said.
……
Gongsun Sheng knew more about coal than Leonard imagined.
He knew how to detect coal and how it was turned into coke.
Gongsun Sheng said: "The raw coal dug out needs to be smelted into coke before it can be used properly, otherwise it is easy to be poisoned, cause hallucinations, and will have a pungent smell."
"...I don't know yet." Leonard suddenly felt so ignorant, "I thought the coals burned in the stove were directly dug out."
"Ordinary people will also burn that kind of coal, but it is not good for their health." Gongsun Sheng said.
In modern times, there is basically no burning of raw coal. The coal is desulfurized immediately after being dug out and then sold.
Leonard: "So the coal you use to ride the clouds is..."
"Of course it's raw coal." Gongsun Sheng said, "This way the effect will be good."
"Sure enough." The corner of Leonard's mouth twitched.
Therefore, while producing thicker smoke, if it can make the other party hallucinate, it will serve multiple purposes.
"As for the coking process, I generally know it, but the details have to be designed by Bachelor Cai Lun." Gongsun Sheng said.
"Okay." Leonard said, "You can go to Cai Lun and talk directly."
……
Gongsun Sheng brought 20 Destiny Points. In this way, the Destiny Points are enough to make up [-] points. The next summon needs [-] Destiny Points. Leonard felt that he would not be able to get them together for a while, so he planned to draw for a while. prize.
[Use 50 Destiny Points to draw a lottery. 】
[In the lottery——]
[Congratulations to the host, you have won 20 stainless steel kitchen knives. 】
……
ha?
What about the seeds of his imagination?If it’s really impossible, it’s okay to win the food and the wood from last time?
This, this, a kitchen knife?
The corner of Leonard's mouth twitched as he looked at the stainless steel kitchen knife in front of him. What, twenty kitchen knives, a total of twenty, are they equipped for their kitchen?
He has a headache.
At this moment, someone knocked on the door, followed by Cai Lun's voice: "Lord Lord, may I come in?"
"Come in," Leonard said.
Cai Lun pushed the door open and came in, and saw the kitchen knife over there at a glance, his eyes lit up: "Is this a treasure bestowed by heaven?"
"Treasure?" Leonard didn't react for a moment.
Cai Lun walked over, stroked the kitchen knife and said, "This kind of craftsmanship...is too good, but it's a pity that it's not sharp enough, but that's not a problem, just sharpen it. General Lu will be pleasantly surprised to see such a precious knife."
Such a precious sword...? ?
Did he hear it wrong?
Leonard was dazed for a few seconds before he understood.
Modern stainless steel kitchen knives, this assembly line product is common in modern times, but it can also be called a magic weapon in ancient times.
There are many impurities in ancient metals, and the ancient iron-smelting technology is no match for modern alloy steel.
Moreover, this kitchen knife is so thick, if the two sides cut each other, it will definitely cut off the opponent's weapon.
That's, that's...it's quite indecent to use a kitchen knife.
Leonard thought about how Lu Bu was wielding a kitchen knife to kill the enemy, and laughed out loud.
Forget it, just be practical.
Cai Lun approached Leonard because of Gongsun Sheng, and Leonard expressed that he could completely trust Gongsun Sheng.He sent 10 slaves to Gongsun Sheng first, and asked him to take those slaves out to investigate and find coal mines.This is something for later, so I won't mention it for now.
Leonard gave the 20 kitchen knives to Lu Bu. Lu Bu was overjoyed when he saw it. He collided the kitchen knife with the knight's sword forcefully, and the knight's sword snapped.
The sergeants who witnessed this scene all looked at the 20 kitchen knives with piercing eyes, wanting them so much...
With such a precious sword, the chances of surviving on the battlefield are much higher.
The corner of Lu Bu raised his mouth: "Train well, I will give this magic weapon to the most powerful people."
"Okay! General Lu!" Everyone responded in unison.
Leonard watched this scene from the castle, covering his face and sighing.
……
The harvest time is coming, the weather is getting hotter, the air smells good, the melons and fruits are so ripe that they are almost about to split, the air is filled with the sweetness of the melons and fruits, and there is also the fragrance of blooming flowers.
The crops were growing very well, and the slaves began to harvest in waves. Cai Lun's improved farm tools made it easier for them to harvest.
Leonard ordered all the slaves to temporarily put down their work and harvest and pick together. Everyone's faces were filled with smiles. Conrad, the butler, counted the grain entering the warehouse every day, and he couldn't stop smiling from ear to ear.
The role of fertilizers is huge, and their harvest this year is almost double that of previous years.
Cai Lun said that all of this is expected. After this wave of harvesting, he will plant green manure and grass, and then next year's grain, he is confident that it will double again.
Butler Conrad probably would have scoffed at him if he said this at first, but now that he saw this reality, Butler Conrad just wanted to dance.
The heavy rainy season is coming soon, and the harvest needs to be completed before the heavy rainy season comes, and firewood needs to be stored.
So a group of slaves went to the forest to gather firewood again.
The bumper crops in Little Thorn Castle attracted the attention of the nearby free people. Some farmers looked at the harvest of Little Thorn Castle and then at the sparse crops on their own land, and they couldn't help but fell into a daze.
The free people also noticed the different tools in the hands of the slaves, and some of them boldly asked the lord to sell them some farm tools.Fortunately, he has been making farming tools for a while, so he is still relatively rich, so Leonard rented some farming tools to the freedmen, and told them that he would build more farming tools in the future, and that they could be handed over at a low price. one already.
After giving the farm tools to the freedmen, Leonard gained 30 destiny points.
The granary was filled with storehouses of millet, including wheat, rye, barley, and oats.
Cai Lun has already repaired the windmill and used the windmill to grind flour day and night.
Just counting on the windmill is not enough, Leonard aimed at the water power, if the river that flows from the mountain to the sea is not used there, it will be wasted.
He told Cai Lun about the water mill, and then drew a picture of the water mill in his memory.Cai Lun understood it, and began to study the water mill after drawing a bunch of slaves.
After all, it is not realistic to expect the wind to push the windmill.
As a result, after a week, the wind really disappeared, which slowed down the speed of grinding the noodles a lot.Without the wind, we can only use livestock to grind flour.
Leonard also planned to make a large batch of bread before the rainy season, which disrupted his plan. He was a little anxious, and he went to the doctor for an emergency, so he called Gongsun Sheng who was looking for coal mines outside.
"My lord, what are your orders?" Gongsun Sheng asked.
He has been here for a while, but he didn't do anything. He ran around with his slaves all day long. Others complained, but Gongsun Sheng didn't care, he still went his own way, calm and steady.
Leonard: "You really don't know any spells?"
Gongsun Sheng said: "What I told you is magic!" He said it very confidently, and he really thought so.
"Can you call the wind and the rain?" Leonard asked.
"It can be predicted." Gongsun Sheng said.
Leonard said, "Then do you think it's been windy recently?"
Gongsun Sheng shook his head: "There shouldn't be any in the last half month, but it might appear in the second half."
"Can't you summon the wind by yourself?" Leonard asked, "I see, uh, you Taoist priests waved their swords or something..."
"That's why we always say, it's not the time yet, and we will swing the sword when the time comes," Gongsun Sheng said.
Leonard: "..."
Good guy, he just called good guy.
It turns out that this is what these high-ranking people mean by 'not in time'.
So is there really nothing on the fantasy side?In the beginning, Gongsun Sheng was not loyal enough, but now he is enough, maybe he will say something that leaks the secret.So Leonard asked with the last sliver of expectation: "Those spells can't all be soot hallucination poison?"
Gongsun Sheng thought for a while and said, "Give them Dali mushrooms."
Leonard; "..."
Leonard: Good guy, even Yunnan mushrooms have come out.Then you can really see little people and monsters.
Gongsun Sheng, how many surprises do you want to give your good brother.
Leonard thought desperately.
Forget it, let's wait for the water mill.
After getting Gongsun Sheng, he felt more and more that the people summoned by the system were bizarre. This is definitely a character in a novel, and the standard for judging treacherous ministers is also... um... From the perspective of imperial power, the water in Liangshan All members should be regarded as traitors, after all, they are all traitors.
Wouldn't the scope of treacherous officials be even wider, and it seems that this treacherous minister may not be a derogatory term now.
Leonard slandered in his heart.

It turned out to be the case.
Leonard's expression became serious: "I understand, please Mr. Yiqing supervise me from time to time so that I don't forget what I said today."
"That's natural." Gongsun Sheng said.
……
Gongsun Sheng knew more about coal than Leonard imagined.
He knew how to detect coal and how it was turned into coke.
Gongsun Sheng said: "The raw coal dug out needs to be smelted into coke before it can be used properly, otherwise it is easy to be poisoned, cause hallucinations, and will have a pungent smell."
"...I don't know yet." Leonard suddenly felt so ignorant, "I thought the coals burned in the stove were directly dug out."
"Ordinary people will also burn that kind of coal, but it is not good for their health." Gongsun Sheng said.
In modern times, there is basically no burning of raw coal. The coal is desulfurized immediately after being dug out and then sold.
Leonard: "So the coal you use to ride the clouds is..."
"Of course it's raw coal." Gongsun Sheng said, "This way the effect will be good."
"Sure enough." The corner of Leonard's mouth twitched.
Therefore, while producing thicker smoke, if it can make the other party hallucinate, it will serve multiple purposes.
"As for the coking process, I generally know it, but the details have to be designed by Bachelor Cai Lun." Gongsun Sheng said.
"Okay." Leonard said, "You can go to Cai Lun and talk directly."
……
Gongsun Sheng brought 20 Destiny Points. In this way, the Destiny Points are enough to make up [-] points. The next summon needs [-] Destiny Points. Leonard felt that he would not be able to get them together for a while, so he planned to draw for a while. prize.
[Use 50 Destiny Points to draw a lottery. 】
[In the lottery——]
[Congratulations to the host, you have won 20 stainless steel kitchen knives. 】
……
ha?
What about the seeds of his imagination?If it’s really impossible, it’s okay to win the food and the wood from last time?
This, this, a kitchen knife?
The corner of Leonard's mouth twitched as he looked at the stainless steel kitchen knife in front of him. What, twenty kitchen knives, a total of twenty, are they equipped for their kitchen?
He has a headache.
At this moment, someone knocked on the door, followed by Cai Lun's voice: "Lord Lord, may I come in?"
"Come in," Leonard said.
Cai Lun pushed the door open and came in, and saw the kitchen knife over there at a glance, his eyes lit up: "Is this a treasure bestowed by heaven?"
"Treasure?" Leonard didn't react for a moment.
Cai Lun walked over, stroked the kitchen knife and said, "This kind of craftsmanship...is too good, but it's a pity that it's not sharp enough, but that's not a problem, just sharpen it. General Lu will be pleasantly surprised to see such a precious knife."
Such a precious sword...? ?
Did he hear it wrong?
Leonard was dazed for a few seconds before he understood.
Modern stainless steel kitchen knives, this assembly line product is common in modern times, but it can also be called a magic weapon in ancient times.
There are many impurities in ancient metals, and the ancient iron-smelting technology is no match for modern alloy steel.
Moreover, this kitchen knife is so thick, if the two sides cut each other, it will definitely cut off the opponent's weapon.
That's, that's...it's quite indecent to use a kitchen knife.
Leonard thought about how Lu Bu was wielding a kitchen knife to kill the enemy, and laughed out loud.
Forget it, just be practical.
Cai Lun approached Leonard because of Gongsun Sheng, and Leonard expressed that he could completely trust Gongsun Sheng.He sent 10 slaves to Gongsun Sheng first, and asked him to take those slaves out to investigate and find coal mines.This is something for later, so I won't mention it for now.
Leonard gave the 20 kitchen knives to Lu Bu. Lu Bu was overjoyed when he saw it. He collided the kitchen knife with the knight's sword forcefully, and the knight's sword snapped.
The sergeants who witnessed this scene all looked at the 20 kitchen knives with piercing eyes, wanting them so much...
With such a precious sword, the chances of surviving on the battlefield are much higher.
The corner of Lu Bu raised his mouth: "Train well, I will give this magic weapon to the most powerful people."
"Okay! General Lu!" Everyone responded in unison.
Leonard watched this scene from the castle, covering his face and sighing.
……
The harvest time is coming, the weather is getting hotter, the air smells good, the melons and fruits are so ripe that they are almost about to split, the air is filled with the sweetness of the melons and fruits, and there is also the fragrance of blooming flowers.
The crops were growing very well, and the slaves began to harvest in waves. Cai Lun's improved farm tools made it easier for them to harvest.
Leonard ordered all the slaves to temporarily put down their work and harvest and pick together. Everyone's faces were filled with smiles. Conrad, the butler, counted the grain entering the warehouse every day, and he couldn't stop smiling from ear to ear.
The role of fertilizers is huge, and their harvest this year is almost double that of previous years.
Cai Lun said that all of this is expected. After this wave of harvesting, he will plant green manure and grass, and then next year's grain, he is confident that it will double again.
Butler Conrad probably would have scoffed at him if he said this at first, but now that he saw this reality, Butler Conrad just wanted to dance.
The heavy rainy season is coming soon, and the harvest needs to be completed before the heavy rainy season comes, and firewood needs to be stored.
So a group of slaves went to the forest to gather firewood again.
The bumper crops in Little Thorn Castle attracted the attention of the nearby free people. Some farmers looked at the harvest of Little Thorn Castle and then at the sparse crops on their own land, and they couldn't help but fell into a daze.
The free people also noticed the different tools in the hands of the slaves, and some of them boldly asked the lord to sell them some farm tools.Fortunately, he has been making farming tools for a while, so he is still relatively rich, so Leonard rented some farming tools to the freedmen, and told them that he would build more farming tools in the future, and that they could be handed over at a low price. one already.
After giving the farm tools to the freedmen, Leonard gained 30 destiny points.
The granary was filled with storehouses of millet, including wheat, rye, barley, and oats.
Cai Lun has already repaired the windmill and used the windmill to grind flour day and night.
Just counting on the windmill is not enough, Leonard aimed at the water power, if the river that flows from the mountain to the sea is not used there, it will be wasted.
He told Cai Lun about the water mill, and then drew a picture of the water mill in his memory.Cai Lun understood it, and began to study the water mill after drawing a bunch of slaves.
After all, it is not realistic to expect the wind to push the windmill.
As a result, after a week, the wind really disappeared, which slowed down the speed of grinding the noodles a lot.Without the wind, we can only use livestock to grind flour.
Leonard also planned to make a large batch of bread before the rainy season, which disrupted his plan. He was a little anxious, and he went to the doctor for an emergency, so he called Gongsun Sheng who was looking for coal mines outside.
"My lord, what are your orders?" Gongsun Sheng asked.
He has been here for a while, but he didn't do anything. He ran around with his slaves all day long. Others complained, but Gongsun Sheng didn't care, he still went his own way, calm and steady.
Leonard: "You really don't know any spells?"
Gongsun Sheng said: "What I told you is magic!" He said it very confidently, and he really thought so.
"Can you call the wind and the rain?" Leonard asked.
"It can be predicted." Gongsun Sheng said.
Leonard said, "Then do you think it's been windy recently?"
Gongsun Sheng shook his head: "There shouldn't be any in the last half month, but it might appear in the second half."
"Can't you summon the wind by yourself?" Leonard asked, "I see, uh, you Taoist priests waved their swords or something..."
"That's why we always say, it's not the time yet, and we will swing the sword when the time comes," Gongsun Sheng said.
Leonard: "..."
Good guy, he just called good guy.
It turns out that this is what these high-ranking people mean by 'not in time'.
So is there really nothing on the fantasy side?In the beginning, Gongsun Sheng was not loyal enough, but now he is enough, maybe he will say something that leaks the secret.So Leonard asked with the last sliver of expectation: "Those spells can't all be soot hallucination poison?"
Gongsun Sheng thought for a while and said, "Give them Dali mushrooms."
Leonard; "..."
Leonard: Good guy, even Yunnan mushrooms have come out.Then you can really see little people and monsters.
Gongsun Sheng, how many surprises do you want to give your good brother.
Leonard thought desperately.
Forget it, let's wait for the water mill.
