Traitor Summoning System [Infrastructure]

In the next period of time, Leonard observed Darkmoon Town more deeply.

He learned how hard it was for the people here, or rather, he learned how hard it was for the typical poor people of this era.

Although the original lord of Darkmoon Castle, Baron Warner, was quite rich, he could even afford a lot of luxury to build his own tomb.But that's because the lord himself is rich, and it has nothing to do with the people.In their eyes, the people are just resources, not people.

And the people in the territory here also bear all this numbly.

If in the past, Leonard might have said naively, can they leave?Then why don't they resist?

But now, Leonard just shook his head.

"They are also suffering." Leonard said to Maester Rutherford.

"Oh, ah, yes, but they won't be in too much pain." Maester Rutherford said, "They are used to it. No one will die of mental pain, they will just be numb."

Numbness... numbness is the scariest thing.

An old scholar living in this era can naturally say some thought-provoking words.

"Then how do we rejuvenate a numb person?" Leonard asked unconsciously.

Maester Rutherford smiled: "Aren't you the best at this?"

When he left Linye City with Leonard at that time, what he thought was that he could just find a little lord to mess around with. Anyway, he is only at this level, so he can just live his life like this. It is not considered rich, but it is better than big Some people are fine.

But now, he worked hard to learn from Bachelor Cai Lun, and began to fight for the territory as a member of the territory.He is excited about every expansion of the territory, every new thing is made, and he also feels sincere happiness.He has the desire to live, not just live.

That's why he said this to Leonard.

Because of all of this, it's all because of Leonard.

Leonard also smiled: "Then, I'm the best at this, as you said."

……

After inspecting Darkmoon Town, Leonard rang the bell in the square to gather the people of Darkmoon Town, and then gave a brief speech.

He didn't say much inspiring words in his speech, and he didn't say that I will treat you well in the future, because he knew that these people would not believe what he just said.

He simply announced that the former lord of Darkmoon Town was sent into exile for violating the precepts, and he officially took over after that.

He comes across as powerful, ruthless and majestic.

This is what a new lord should look like.

The townspeople of Darkmoon Town listened anxiously, thinking in their hearts, this new lord is really terrible, he can actually send the former lord Baron Warner, who is also a nobleman, into exile, we must listen carefully to the words of the lord ...

After he finished speaking, the system's prompt sounded.

[Successfully obtained Darkmoon Town and Darkmoon Castle, and added 350 freemen and 130 four slaves under his command.Add one hundred destiny points. 】

This is really a big event, increasing so many destiny points at once.

Leonard became very interested in continuing to expand his territory afterwards.

Then there are now 550 destiny points!

Then Leonard started to build a lot.

Before the coldest weather came, Leonard hurriedly remodeled a series of houses in Darkmoon Town.

These houses used more than half of the bricks fired in the previous brick kilns.

Residents of Darkmoon Town can live in houses, provided that they pay taxes, which are paid in proportion to their harvest.

Because the previous systems have been abolished and replaced by the new system, they will not actually pay more.

Of course, they can't count now, and most of the civilians have not received education.

Most of the buildings in Darkmoon Town are made of wood, and it has been for a long time. It is very humid and the workmanship is not good.People eager to see these spacious, bright and comfortable brick houses.

Although they couldn't figure it out now, they still chose to accept it, because these brick houses also included a lot of coke, which at least saved them from the danger of freezing to death this winter. In fact, they had no choice.

In addition, Leonard also built a big tavern in the middle of the town.

Of course it was still a brick house, with a lot of furniture brought over from Little Thorn Castle.

Outside hung a dark green oil lamp with thorns attached to it, and the lampshade was made of black iron.Leonard held a week of banquets in the new tavern to celebrate the possession of Darkmoon Town and Darkmoon Castle.

At night, cheerful music sounds from inside the tavern, and the warm light in the windows makes people yearn for it in the severe winter.

Some civilians couldn't help but look at the windows of the tavern, and were told that they could join the banquet together by paying a small amount of copper.

Banquets distributed large amounts of leftover food to the commoners every day.

It would be too exciting for people in this era to distribute food directly to civilians for free.

The civilians would not understand, and would even feel weird, wondering what the hell was going on with the lord.

But if we switch to this method, it just fits the times.

They were all moved, thinking in their hearts that this is really a benevolent lord.

The lord is very rich, he is very generous, and they will live better under the rule of this new lord.

With this method, the townspeople of Darkmoon Town soon supported and respected Leonard.

Leonard let the servant Cronin manage the affairs in Darkmoon Castle, making Cronin directly become the butler of Darkmoon Castle.Sprouts, manages coke, takes care of slaves, stuff like that.Cronin was very pleasantly surprised that he had come this far from a personal servant!

Milton, the political officer of Wanzhong Town, was placed in Darkmoon Town as the mayor, and asked him to train a group of people himself.Leonard told him that his territory would continue to expand in the future, and one day Milton would be the mayor of a big town.Milton was naturally very happy. When he was forced to leave the Bachelor College, he thought that his life would be like this.

Leonard transferred the former knight commander and current vice-captain Bridges to Darkmoon Castle as the captain of the guard, which can be regarded as commanding an army alone.Including the robbers from the past, there are a total of 56 knights in Darkmoon Castle, which is actually quite a lot.However, Leonard did not let Bridges command these people. These people had to be trained by Lu Bu. He gave them to Bridges' former subordinates.

Bridges was very excited. When he left with the down-and-out second son of the nobleman, he commanded thirty knights with bad equipment and poor quality. Now he is the commander of fifty smart, powerful and fully armed knights. Have a high degree of autonomy.Wow, what an army of 50 people!

Leonard then filled their vacant positions with other meritorious individuals.

This reward for meritorious deeds strengthened the cohesion of the people under him again, and Leonard also directly obtained the 20 destiny points rewarded by the system.

In fact, this was what Lu Bu reminded Leonard some nights ago.

"My lord, now is the time for you to start from nothing," Lu Bu said.

"I started with knights and castles, so I'm not self-made," Leonard said.

"Cao Cao started from scratch when he returned to the village, and in a few days he pulled out an army of 3000 to [-] people." Lu Bu said, "This is self-made. Self-made."

Leonard: "..."

Leonard: "Okay."

Although it's been a long time, I still get hit occasionally.

Lu Bu continued, "You are starting from nothing now. Although your status is noble, it is not suitable for everyone. Many people value what they can get." He paused, "Or to put it bluntly, what they can get from you what you get, so you need to give them."

Although he failed in the end, Lu Bu was also a top warlord in the Three Kingdoms period after all, so he still has these visions.

The most precious thing is that Lu Bu has the experience of being the protagonist directly.

Leonard felt the same after hearing it.

Although there are indeed people who dedicate themselves to spiritual pursuits, for ordinary people, what matters more is what they can get.

How long can the allegiance brought about by a momentary touch last?Only interest can run through the entire life of most people.

This is no longer the novel he read, this is reality.

But the complexity of the human heart in reality is beyond his imagination.

Thanks to the help of Lu Bu and the others.Leonard thought.

Speaking of this complicated feeling, Leonard remembered that he had seen a news story before. The man thought his girlfriend was nagging, so he pretended to commit suicide by jumping into the river, but actually dived home to watch TV.

...Well, the human heart is really complicated (no)

……

When Leonard returned to Little Thorn Castle, Cai Lun was teaching the slaves to weave straw mats.

When cleaning up Little Thorn Castle, Cai Lun left some useful grass, including this rush that can be used to weave straw mats.

Mats woven of rushes are very comfortable, and have great health benefits.

When the humidity is high, the countless pores in the rushes can absorb moisture to achieve the purpose of dehumidification; when the weather is dry, the inside of the rushes will automatically release the moisture it stores, and then it can avoid being too dry.That sounds great.

In ancient times, the wick straw mats in the south of the Yangtze River were used by the emperor.

Although it takes some skill to weave this kind of straw mat, Cai Lun certainly knows how to do it.

After completing the last big project, Cai Lun did a lot of things while Leonard was concentrating on Darkmoon Town.

Since he hadn't taken care of the affairs of Little Thorn Castle for a while, after Leonard returned from Darkmoon Town, he conducted a systematic inspection.

The first thing to inspect is the sea catching team.

The sea catching team has been expanded several times, and now there are forty freemen and forty slaves.

Therefore, many brick houses were built on the edge of the seaside forest.

Don't underestimate these forty free citizens. After all, the population here is small, and the weight of these forty people is very heavy.

It can be said that Leonard has solved the employment problem in Chaotic Bazaar and Evening Bell Town.

In the small house of the sea catching team, Leonard ate very fresh oysters.

Boil the oysters directly in water and add some salt.

Break open the shell with a knife, blow and swallow the shell meat, it is fresh, soft, delicate, extremely smooth, and very fragrant.

Leonard thought while eating oysters.

With more and more coke, you can also start refining sea salt.Extracting sea salt consumes a lot of calories. In ancient China, entire forests were cut down to extract sea salt.With a lot of coke, it's a lot easier.

Salt is a hard currency in this era.

The matter of refining sea salt was naturally left to Gongsun Sheng.

Leonard believes that Gongsun Sheng can make sea salt beyond the times.

After all, their sect's spells are the most authentic.Ha ha.

In the afternoon, the hunting team knew that Leonard was by the sea, so they sent some more prey and wild fruits.

The weather is getting colder and colder, but the beach is relatively okay, so there are still some leftover fruits to eat.

Leonard roasted a rabbit.

Skewer the rabbit in chunks onto the branches, then start sprinkling with seasoning, drizzled with olive oil, and grilled back and forth.Time passed by, and the fragrance permeated the cabin for a long time.

"Good guy, this scent can suppress the fishy smell of the sea." A member of the sea catching team passing by couldn't help but said.

The flames scorched the surface of the rabbit, and the meat gradually developed in a golden direction, looking more and more attractive.The original fat of the meat melted under the high-temperature grilling, and the fat on it rolled down and dripped on the firewood, making a sizzling sound, with a bit of a burnt aroma, which was simply amazing.

As the grease dripped, the flames rose and fell, like a heart waiting to eat a roasted rabbit.

When it was finally baked, Leonard squeezed a little lemon on top.

Then he took the first bite, and the door to the sense of taste was smashed open by the delicacy, the aroma of meat, sauce, oil, lemon, fruit wood...these flavors spread together on the tip of the tongue and blended with each other , it’s indescribable, in short, it’s delicious!

Leonard enjoyed the barbecue comfortably in the seaside villa.

He heard the knights chatting outside.

"I saw a bunch of mushrooms in the forest today, which looked like monkey heads. I thought they were monkeys, but when I got closer, I found out that they were mushrooms."

"Haha, your eyesight is too bad, how do mushrooms look like monkeys?"

"That's really similar! If you don't believe me, I'll take you there this afternoon!"

Leonard's eyes lit up.

Mushrooms that look like monkey heads, is it Hericium erinaceus?

He came out immediately.

"My lord." The two chatting knights hurriedly saluted.

"You said you saw some mushrooms that looked like monkey heads this morning?" Leonard asked.

"Yes, my lord, uh, but I didn't stay for too long. I was concentrating on hunting and not being lazy." The knight said.

"Okay." Leonard wanted to laugh a little, and then he said, "I'm very interested in that mushroom, take me to have a look."

The knight replied: "Yes, my lord."

Leonard handed the rest of the roasted rabbit to the knight, "This is a reward for you, usually pay attention to observe more in the Darkmoon Forest, maybe you can find something good."

"Okay, my lord!" the knight said excitedly.

After Leonard walked away, he immediately took a bite of the roasted rabbit.

Crispy and delicious, the meat is extremely tender...ah, it's so delicious!

Leonard quickly found those mushrooms under the leadership of the knights.

Had it been any colder, the mushrooms would have been gone.Generally speaking, there are more mushrooms in the humid and warm rainy season.

Leonard saw the group of pale yellow mushrooms.

It's really Hericium erinaceus.Hericium erinaceus is white when it is fresh, and it will turn light yellow when it dries, which is obviously about to dry.

"Hericium erinaceus, seafood shark's fin", Hericium erinaceus is a very precious dish and one of the four famous dishes - the others are bear's paw, bird's nest and shark's fin.

The mushroom meat is very tender, delicious, mellow and delicious.

Hericium erinaceus also has many medicinal effects, such as lowering blood sugar, anti-oxidation, anti-inflammatory and anti-ulcer.

Leonard was very happy to find such a large amount of Hericium erinaceus.

This is dinner for tonight, he made his decision.

The forest is simply a great treasure.

At night, Leonard returned to Little Thorn Castle. He had accumulated a lot of ingredients during the day.

He was eating delicious food, and suddenly thought, ah, didn't he go to inspect, why did he find so many delicious food for no reason?

This is the trend of the Middle Ages on the tip of the tongue... Quack.
