Traitor Summoning System [Infrastructure]

Develop territories.

Only when you really stand in that position can you realize how important a responsibility it is to be the supreme leader of a land. There are many things that need to be managed. There are too many things, really too many.

This is different from games. Some games that claim to be authentic only list some parameters as a reference, but there is nothing here. You can't open the menu to see how many people there are now, and you can't know the wishes of each vassal.

Leonard recalled the development of villages when he was playing "Minecraft". At the beginning of research, the players knew that the number of villagers in a village was linked to the number of doors, so they put many doors in a house to let the villagers reproduce crazily. work.Later, when the game was revised, they found out that the number of villagers is based on the number of beds and food, so they put a lot of beds in one house to let the villagers reproduce crazily and work for themselves.

At that time, Leonard looked at the villagers who were proliferating in large numbers, and watched them work day and night without giving them food, and said with a smile that he was really a bloody capitalist.He thought of Asimodo, known as a writing animal. From 1924 to 1931, he wrote 200 popular novels, typed 90 words per minute, and wrote 12 hours a day without rest. He claimed that he had no bottleneck. He wrote a total of 400 novels in his life. many books.Someone asked him what he would do if he only had six months to live, and he said, type faster.

Leonard thought at the time, hahaha, I hope everyone under him is like this.

By playing the game, you can learn about the operating mechanism of the village and town, so as to achieve rapid development by means similar to cheating.

But the reality is different. Even if one cheats, other aspects still follow the basic law of development.

That's why...

"Sitting in this position for a long time, watching these developments step by step, I also find it very interesting and enjoyable." Leonard said to He Shen.

Games that use cheat mode get tired quickly, because a lot of the original fun and sense of accomplishment is lost in cheating.

And now Leonard's current state is exactly between the two, with reality and at the same time having a cheating device like the system.

The refreshing feeling brought by this situation is self-evident.

I can do all kinds of things that are only beneficial to me through the screen. It’s just a game anyway, and I’m just a player, so I don’t need to be moral and responsible for a bunch of data.

But now that he has traveled here in person, facing these living people, of course it is impossible to do that.

I am no longer the player playing the lord, but the lord himself.

Or--

Because he confirmed the real existence of these vassals, he was able to confirm his own real existence.

……

As the weather got warmer, Leonard looked at the sugar maple trees in the Darkmoon Forest and rubbed his hands excitedly.

The sugar maple tree is a deciduous tree. The flowering period is in April. In autumn, the leaves will turn golden yellow or orange red, which is very gorgeous and beautiful.This tree is very suitable as an ornamental tree, in addition, it has a famous function-maple sugar!

Oh yes, this is what we commonly call a maple tree.

This is the maple tree in Canada's 'Maple Leaf Country'.

Maple syrup is made from the sap of maple trees. March and April are good times to pick maple syrup. As a foodie, Leonard certainly has knowledge in this area.

Australia's maple syrup is famous.

Picking maple syrup must be done right after winter, when the temperature is below zero degrees Celsius at night and slightly warmer during the day, and the maple sap can only be harvested at this temperature.

Maple syrup is delicious and low in calories, lower than sucrose, corn sugar, and fructose, and the calcium content of maple syrup is actually equivalent to that of milk!Other macroelements and organic acids are also higher than other sugars.It is really nutritious and delicious.

Maple trees store up a lot of starch in winter to prepare for the coming spring.A certain amount of picking will not affect the growth of maple trees. People have done a lot of research on this. Leonard does not know the specific data, but he also knows that picking in moderation.

Maple syrup tastes fragrant and sweet, and it is also a precious condiment in this period.

Leonard plans to build a group of maple sugar huts on the edge of the maple trees, just like the fisherman's huts by the sea, and then let their group expand to form a small village.

He discussed it with Cai Lun and Shen, and they both added some nice details to his plan.

……

Under normal circumstances, all free people in a territory can go to see their lord and ask him to uphold justice.

Lords are also responsible for handling these matters.

So often, a qualified lord will spend a lot of time interviewing civilians to deal with all kinds of trivial matters. From this perspective, Leonard is not the "wise lord" of this period, because Leonard makes his subordinates People do this kind of thing.

Although this will make the lord get involved in all kinds of complicated affairs, there are actually many benefits to doing so, so that the lord can know what the people at the bottom are thinking.

It's a pity that most lords can't do it.

Of course, many nobles are too lazy to take care of these things, and leave it to their subordinates, or simply close the channel for audience.Nobody cares about that now.

The weather on this day was very good, and the successive sunny days made everything bright and lovely.The blue sky is bright and beautiful, as transparent as jade with plenty of water.The conifers were covered with fluffy snow, and a cat was walking along the wall, feeling the branches with its paws, and the snow fell with a rustling.

Leonard and He Shen took a walk in Wanzhong Town.

Eveningbell Township is completely different now than it was before.

More than half of the old houses in Wanzhong Town have been demolished, and the rest are new houses.

The newly built houses are solid, practical and beautiful, and the urban road planning is also very neat, which makes people feel comfortable.

There are townspeople from Evening Bell Town living in Evening Bell Town, and there are some slaves walking around, there are Monliers, there are newcomers from outside, there are some free knights, merchants, and bards who come to try their luck.It was a completely new sight.

Leonard felt that Evening Bell Town was more and more similar to the Middle Ages in the movies he had watched before.

Leonard thought, I have transformed reality and life into what is in the story.

This feeling is really good.

At this moment, a freeman came over and bowed to Leonard: "My lord, would you like to take some time to listen to me, the poor man's misfortune?"

"Tell me." Leonard said in a good mood.

"My name is poor Tom. I'm from Baisha City. I used to have food for winter, but I was tricked into running out of food. I came here after I knew there was food here," said the freeman.

"Yeah." Leonard said.

The man who called himself Poor Tom continued: "Thanks to the lord's kindness, I got some food, as well as coke, and a house, but the humble slave told me to saw wood every day to continue to get food."

Leonard was already a little unhappy, "And then?"

"The slave actually tried to touch me," John showed a disgusted expression, "The last time I was cheated was because I touched the slave, so I was unlucky."

"Oh wait, when you say being cheated, do you mean gambling?" Leonard asked.

John touched his head, "It's not a gamble, it's just a leisurely play... It's all my luck being sucked away."

"I think your IQ has been sucked away." Leonard said bluntly: "If you can lose your winter food through gambling, don't you think about yourself."

"I've repented! My lord!" John raised his voice anxiously, "Really repented! But now they don't give me any extra food, because I accidentally broke the tool last time, I just eat it every night. I can drink some porridge, I'm so hungry, my lord, I'm actually very smart, I have a flexible mind, I can do many things, but I'm really not good at doing things..."

"Listen," Leonard didn't continue to listen to him: "It's not that I don't have any sympathy for your unlucky and unfortunate life, but sympathy can't do anything. Only you can change your life. In addition, at least in the Don't appear in front of me until you learn how to speak."

After speaking, Leonard turned and left.

"My lord, my lord, my lord!" came John's voice behind him.

Leonard hates gambling dogs.

He Shen followed, and said after a while, "He might steal because of hunger."

"Yes." Leonard said.

"Maybe because of your attitude, you will really starve to death later." He Shen continued.

"En." Leonard said softly, "This is really the cruel truth, and it seems to be contrary to my original intention."

"But you don't need to feel sad about this. Now you are good enough to the people in the fief. Now that spring is coming, he can find food and find a job by himself. Now the job opportunities in your fief are still There are many. Of course, he may continue to be like the past, and eventually no one will tolerate him, or even die." He Shen said.

"Yeah." Leonard nodded.

"You have grasped some of the essence, but many times you don't have the awareness of being a superior." He Shen said, "I can see it, and as your chief bachelor, I need to tell you some truths. And, I think You need the truth too."

He Shen is a person who is very good at observing words and expressions, and Qianlong's favor for him has a lot to do with this.With just one look from Qianlong, he knew what Qianlong was thinking, and he would put on the appearance Qianlong wanted.

The same is true for Leonard.

He Shen understands that Leonard is kind-hearted, and also understands that Leonard really wants to do something.

Generally speaking, doing great things and being kind in your heart will conflict.

But as a subject, an excellent subject can reconcile the relationship between the two.

And He Shen is undoubtedly a top existence in these aspects.

Leonard once again realized that as a superior, it is not enough to say some pretentious and handsome lines to people he dislikes every day. Every step and every word may involve a heavy life.

"I understand." Leonard said, "I won't live so easily. I understand."

"Well, it's a blessing for all the people that the lord has this awareness." He Shen said.

"There are no peoples yet." Leonard said, "Now including slaves, I have a total of more than 2000 people." Leonard said with a smile.

"Sooner or later, there will be thousands of people." He Shen said, "You have grown from a few hundred people to 2000 people, and the number has increased by six or seven times in a year, so why not double it again this year."

"It shouldn't be as simple as it was at the beginning," Leonard said.

"It's different, you have me this year." He Shen said.

Leonard was stunned for a moment, and then laughed loudly: "Yes, I have you, I met you, just like Gaozu met his ovary."

"Although you said the same thing to Jing Zhong, I think I should pretend not to know and act as if I was deeply moved." He Shen made a joke.

Leonard laughed again: "Hahaha, that's my level, but I really mean it."

"I understand, my lord." He Shen said seriously.

……

Spring is coming, and the cold is gradually subsiding.I always feel that cooling down is a one-night thing, but warming up has to be done step by step.To make a hypocritical association, this is the same as the human heart. It is a very slow process to warm up, just like the often said word "slow heat", but it is quite easy to make a person's heart cold.At this time, when the sun shines on the body, there is a warm feeling, which is quite comfortable.

Since that blizzard, the weather has been getting warmer every day.

Cai Lun and He Shen looked at the sun every day, asked local farmers from time to time, and finally determined the time of Lichun.

They also finalized the overall planning of the current territory, so Leonard can continue to draw the lottery.

He found an empty house.

System, use 50 Destiny Points, draw a lottery!

[The lottery draw begins... Congratulations to the host, 19.9 glass water glasses have been drawn, and the same item will be free shipping on Xixi [-]. 】

Leonard: ………

Hmm... I didn't get the seeds, but I got the glass water cup.

Ordinary people would probably shout that the glass is useless, but of course Leonard can understand the value of the glass in this era.

Even though he knew it, the corners of his mouth still twitched when he saw the instructions behind the system.

Just kidding, is there only fifty drinking glasses on 19.9?In Bingxixi, I can buy a hundred of them!

Leonard was gossiping in his heart.

[So this is a water glass that belongs to Bingxixi with good quality. 】

Leonard: ...

Leonard: I'm speechless.

Well, on to the lottery.

[Congratulations to the host, 100 units of Zhongshu No. 3 seed potatoes have been drawn. 】

[Zhongshu No. 3 is a potato cultivated by the Vegetable and Flower Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences. It can be harvested two months after emergence, with good taste and strong disease resistance.The output can reach more than 500 kilograms per mu. 】

Good guy, more than 500 kilograms per mu, this output is amazing.

And he actually resisted the disease by himself...

Leonard first put away 50 glasses, which was a good thing, then he called Cai Lun and handed these potatoes to Cai Lun.

"What is this?" Cai Lun asked.

"Eh, potatoes, potatoes," Leonard said.

Oh well, he remembered. Potatoes were introduced to China in the Ming Dynasty. Cai Lun was born a little early. He had never seen them before, so he naturally didn't know how to grow them.

If it was in the past, Leonard would let Cai Lun try to plant, but now there is Heshen.

So Leonard found He Shen again, and He Shen replied, "I understand a little bit."

At his position, he knows a little about almost every aspect.

Leonard naturally didn't believe that He Shen just 'understand', he understood these people.If they really only know a little bit, they can simply say that they don't know.Leonard's "slight understanding" and their "slight understanding" are completely two concepts.When they say they 'know something', it means they think they are more than capable of doing the job.Of course, when they say they know something better, it means, get out of the way, I'm going to pretend.

This can be regarded as the modesty of the Chinese.

In short, after listening to Heshen's "understanding", Leonard felt relieved to give all the potatoes to Heshen.

On the first day of spring, all the herbs return to buds.

Cai Lun started to prepare for farming early, and now that the weather is getting warmer, the slaves in charge of farming are dispatched collectively, and they start to devote themselves to agriculture in an orderly and orderly manner.

Cultivate, turn the soil, and fertilize.

Beginning of spring should be planted tomato, cabbage, pumpkin, parsley, spring pasture.

The latest farm tools are put on the livestock, the cows and horses are braying, the slaves are shouting, and the fields are full of heat.

In addition to the slaves, there were also many freedmen and Montreurs who were busy with them.

The people of Montreer were mainly responsible for digging the canals.

Leonard went to find those sugar maple trees, spring is just a good time to get maple sugar.

Sugar maple trees are very rich in sugar. Sugar maple trees that are over 15 years old can mine maple sugar. One such sugar maple tree can produce two to three kilograms of sugar per year, and each tree can continuously produce Sugar is more than 50 years old, and some can even reach a hundred years.

The value of such a sugar maple grove can be imagined.

Getting maple sugar is as simple as punching a hole in the trunk and inserting the pipe.

Holes are cut in the tree, and the maple sap flows out, and after being heated and boiled, it becomes maple syrup.

The pipe is an iron pipe made by a blacksmith, and it is specially used for this purpose, which is quite luxurious.

"It would be great if there were bamboo here," Cai Lun said. "Bamboo has many functions."

In addition to its important role in Chinese culture, bamboo also has many material functions.

Bamboo shoots can be eaten, and bamboo can be made into bamboo tubes, chopsticks, and various utensils. In ancient times, there were also bamboo clothes, bamboo hats, and bamboo coir raincoats made of bamboo.Bamboo also plays a great role in construction, bamboo charcoal also plays a role in health preservation, etc...

Here, what Cai Lun pays attention to is the hollowness of bamboo, which can be directly used as pipes.

But it seems that there is no bamboo in Leonard's territory.

"Maybe we can get a bamboo forest in the future," Leonard said.

Leonard realized that the draw and the call go hand in hand.

The resources in the eyes of these people and the resources in Leonard's eyes are often completely different.

If Leonard encountered a bamboo forest, he probably thought, wow, the bamboo forest is so beautiful, you can eat bamboo shoots.And then it's gone.But they can think of a large number of functions of bamboo.

If there were only lottery draws but no summons, Leonard felt that he would waste more than half of the rewards.

The slaves were working quickly, Leonard watched from here.

Leonard first selected the ten largest maple trees, and asked the slaves to drill five holes in each of the ten maple trees, and then inserted the iron pipes into them.

"My lord, what are we doing here? Do we want to get sap?" a slave asked.

"Yes, we need to get the sugar maple sap." Leonard said, "It's very sweet, you can taste it later."

"Ah, come out, come out!" cried a slave over there.

Leonard walked over, only to see amber sap flowing out of the hole.

He dipped a little bit of it with his hand and licked it. It smelled faintly sweet, and the sap was also very strong. It had to be boiled before drinking.

Seeing this, many slaves also knocked on the hole quickly, and then almost everyone licked it.

"Sweet, really sweet!"

"Ah, sweet, so wonderful!"

Sweetness is a rare taste for these slaves.

But Leonard's slaves were fine, because Leonard forced them to eat raw fruit, and the cafeteria didn't provide baked apples with pepper and other ghost animal cooked fruits, so the sweet taste was not unfamiliar to them.

If slaves from other places were to be insane.

It was useless to remind Leonard, they started working again after licking the sap a few times.

The sap flowed continuously into the basin along the pipe.

Maester Rutherford led another group of slaves to build a maple sugar hut next to the maple grove.

Now Bachelor Rutherford can build some houses with basic structures. Cai Lun taught well, and he also studied very hard.

The maple sugar cottage is built from logs from the forest, oh yes, those trees that were blown down by the snowstorm in the winter, and now they are used to build the house.

A week later, a row of chic and lovely maple sugar huts were built.

There are beds, a long dining table, some basic furniture, and of course tools for making maple syrup.

Maple syrup is then boiled here, then shipped to Little Thorn Castle, and then shipped to various other places.

It is very simple to make maple syrup. Set up a pot on the stove, boil the maple sap directly, and evaporate too much water.

Of course, this is the roughest way to make maple syrup, and Leonard can't do a more refined method now, so that the original taste of maple syrup can be preserved, which is pretty good.

After cooking for a while, some crumb crystals would condense on the top, and then Leonard asked the slaves to fish out these crumb crystals.

The condensation of these crystals on the maple syrup will prevent the water inside from evaporating, which is not conducive to heat dissipation, and may burn the maple syrup.

Soon, Leonard got a large amount of golden brown maple syrup.

Maple syrup can be eaten directly or used to make delicacies.

The Canadian way of eating is to pour maple syrup on top of the snow, wrap it around with branches, and eat it like a lollipop.

This is of course much tastier than regular lollipops.

The unique fragrance of trees, the cool taste of snow and ice, because there is no added maple syrup, so it is sweet but not greasy, it is wrapped in snow and licked, it is ice and sweet, and you can clearly feel the maple syrup and snow sliding down together Throat, this feeling is quite good, the heart is cool, and the heart is flying.

Leonard asked the sugar slaves to take one each.

Next, Leonard used the maple syrup to make various delicacies, baked pancakes, made maple syrup pudding, and grilled sausages with maple syrup.

Leonard also makes maple baked chicken wings.

Marinate the chicken wings the night before, mix them with various sauces and maple syrup, and go back and forth to coat the chicken wings evenly with these sauces.

The next day, take out the marinated chicken wings, and spread a layer of maple syrup and a little honey on the surface.

This is a bit like honey chicken wings.

Then it can be heated.

Because of the excellent craftsmanship, the juice on the chicken wings did not lose when grilled, and the hot maple syrup has a sweet taste.After roasting, the chicken wings are still tender and juicy.It not only retains the original meat flavor, but also adds the aroma of sauce.The fragrance of maple syrup and the taste of meat are mixed together. The chicken wings look golden and attractive on the outside, and the skin is crispy and tender when bitten. It is extremely delicious to eat.

Chicken wings are the tenderest part of the chicken, and if you use them to make maple syrup baked chicken wings, the taste will naturally be awesome.Tender and smooth, all the flavors are integrated, wow-when the full gravy and sauce overflow on the tongue, all the taste buds seem to be awakened.

Taste buds: We in food culture have to be awakened by various things every day.

Eyes: In food articles, we have to keep our eyes open every day.

Maple syrup food is really delicious!
