Traitor Summoning System [Infrastructure]

Night rain knocks on the window.

Leonard deliberately placed the copper lamp by the window, letting the moist night wind blow the lamp on and off.

At this time, the rhythm of the lights jumping has an inexplicable match with the sound of rain.

When He Shen came in, he happened to see Leonard staring at the lights in a trance. This scene was very artistic, and He Shen hesitated for a moment, but didn't speak immediately.

"You're here, Zhi Zhai." Leonard said.

"Yeah." He Shen nodded.

He Shen began to report the recent situation to Lennarn. There were some problems in the shipbuilding at the dock, and He Shen was thinking about the solution. He wrote a letter to Cai Lun, after all, Cai Lun is very good at these utensils.Then He Shen talked about this year's land and the estimated harvest.

"I heard from the steward that the lord is planning to buy slaves," He Shen said.

"Well, are we expected to have enough food?" Leonard said.

"Of course it is enough, but there are not many left." He Shen said, "It would be great if this was in the south of the Yangtze River. We can still grow wheat in winter."

Leonard thought for a while, "Do you know about greenhouses?"

"I know." He Shen said, "Does the lord mean to build a greenhouse to grow food in winter?"

"Well, grow food or some vegetables and fruits." Leonard said, "You can turn on the heat..." He patted his head and said, "I thought of it, Sherwood, please call Bachelor Gongsun Sheng."

Sherwood, Leonard's valet, was ordered to go immediately.

The night rain outside was still falling sporadically, Gongsun Sheng came over soon, Leonard and He Shen made tea and chatted casually while waiting.

Gongsun Sheng sat down rather unceremoniously, and said: "It seems that I came just in time."

"Yes." He Shen smiled and poured tea into the cup in front of Gongsun Sheng, "The rain tonight is comfortable."

"Water is between heaven and earth, whether it is moving or still, it is very reasonable." Gongsun Sheng said.

"Then ask Master Yiqing to give us a discussion." Leonard said.

Gongsun Sheng didn't refuse, and began to preach while drinking tea. Leonard couldn't understand, and He Shen explained to him softly beside him, but He Shen could understand.

The pattering rain outside brought some coolness, and the night scene was melted into the rain.

A gust of wind blew in and the lamp was blown out. Gongsun Sheng continued to speak slowly without stopping at all.

Leonard was taken aback for a moment, and only then did he feel that he had really entered the state of listening to the sermon.

He Shen was about to get up and light the lamp, but he noticed Leonard's state in time and continued to sit there.

The three monarchs and ministers drank tea, preached, and listened to the rain on a rainy night without lights.

It's also quite interesting.

……

Leonard called Gongsun Shenglai mainly to make glass.

Glass gunpowder can be said to be a common thing invented by the traversers. The manufacture of gunpowder is too dangerous. Although Gongsun Sheng can try to make it, it will not be very good if it explodes.

Although there is a certain risk in making glass, the safety factor is greatly reduced compared with gunpowder, so you can still try it.

Glass has existed since ancient times. Commercial glass appeared in the Northern Song Dynasty, and optical glass appeared in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties—it was used for telescopes.

However, Leonard did not make glass to make telescopes. The glass technology required to make telescopes is still quite difficult, so it is better to continue to use crystals.Although crystals are more expensive, Leonard is not short of that money now.

In fact, Leonard has already equipped his army with two binoculars, plus the one he owns and the one Gongsun Sheng has, making a total of four.

It is worth mentioning that Gongsun Sheng was very sorry after seeing the telescope and understanding the manufacturing principle of the telescope. He didn't know the craftsmanship of the telescope before, otherwise he would have an extra spell at that time.

Gongsun Sheng said that he was very sincere at this time, and he really regarded these as magic spells.

Chinese and Western glass are two kinds of manufacturing methods. Here Leonard asked Gongsun Sheng to manufacture Western soda-lime glass.Because its raw material source is simpler, and it is stronger and resistant to high temperature.

The raw materials for making this glass are quartz sand, limestone, feldspar and soda ash.

The game "My World" uses sand to directly burn glass, which is still well-founded.

By the way, in the game, sugarcane is planted on the sandy land by the water, which is also a real thing, and sugarcane is suitable for planting on the sandy land by the water.

Leonard asked Gongsun Sheng to study glass, and told him to pay attention to safety.

These are the raw materials for making glass. The more difficult thing is the proportion, which is adjusted by Gongsun Sheng.Compared with the research speed of candles, it is estimated that the research on the proportion of glass will be faster.

After these ingredients are heated at high temperature to form a glass liquid without bubbles, it can be formed. Because Leonard needs a large piece of glass, he pours the glass liquid on the flat steel, and then rolls it over like a dumpling wrapper.

The last step is annealing. The molten glass cannot be cooled directly. If it is cooled directly, it may break by itself. Therefore, it is necessary to keep a certain temperature and cool down slowly.

He Shen basically knows these processes, but He Shen does not know the raw materials.

So this work was done by He Shen and Gongsun Sheng together.

Gongsun Sheng took a few young slaves as apprentices, and it was fun for those little slaves to practice Taoism with him.

It is estimated that when they grow up, they will all be scientists... well... they will all be Taoist priests who are proficient in 'various spells'.

Leonard made glass, in addition to making some door and window utensils, he also had an important plan.

That is, the greenhouse mentioned by He Heshen, that is, the glass greenhouse.

The importance of glass greenhouses to agriculture is very significant. It can be said that it can support a group of plants even in winter when it is not suitable for plant growth.

Ancient agriculture paid attention to the unity of nature and man, and conformed to nature.

Yes, it is good to have harmony between man and nature, because man cannot resist nature, and if he confronts nature, it will make you hungry, make you sick, and even kill you, so you must follow the weather.

But then what?

The Great Qin repaired the Qin straight road, cutting mountains and valleys.What does cut mountain and valley mean?When you encounter mountains, you dig the mountains, and when you encounter valleys, you fill in the valleys to build roads.

Dig the Grand Canal, running through the north and south, spanning the past and the present.

Build the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway to let industrial civilization enter China.

Building the Three Gorges Project is a century-old dream and a century-old project.

——The Chinese have been emphasizing that man can conquer nature since ancient times.

And against the weather, the glass greenhouse that allows crops to be planted in all seasons is the beginning.

……

A small episode happened during the study of glass.

Leonard was flipping through the books he brought back from Mithril Town. The parchment here would smell rotten after a long time, which was really unpleasant.

The valet Sherwood came in and said, "My lord, there are some priests outside the castle."

"Priest?" Leonard asked, "Which denomination's priest?"

Sherwood replied, "Green God."

"Oh." Leonard said, "Let Maester Rutherford go and receive them, and tell them that I don't believe in God."

There is a church in Mithril Town, but not in Evening Bell Town and Darkmoon Town. Leonard doesn't want his territory to have church power.

"Okay," Sherwood said.

The valet Sherwood returned to Leonard's bedroom after finishing what Leonard ordered. He said, "The pastor who came this time is the vice-bishop of the Green God Church in Baisha City. He is a very famous handsome man."

Leonard became interested: "Does it look good?"

"It's very beautiful." Sherwood said, "But of course it's not as good as the lord's lord. The lord's blood is noble, and the other party is incomparable to you."

Well, the implication is that without the bloodline bonus, you may not be as good as the other party.

Leonard expressed his interest in coming.

"Then I'll go and have a look."

Leonard closed the book and went to the side door of the hall. He didn't intend to meet him face to face, but just took a sneak peek.

Looking at the past, the corner of Leonard's mouth twitched on the spot.

The vicar of the Green God Church in the front has a really good-looking face, like a handsome man in a classical movie.

But his hairstyle, his hairstyle...is a very typical missionary hairstyle in the middle ages of Europe.

How to describe it... the top of the head is shaved, and the bottom is dripping down.It is very similar to the Mediterranean hairstyle, but there is not so much hair around the Mediterranean, and his whole is like a wreath.

This hairstyle is called St. Paul's hairstyle, which is actually imitated by garlands, and the top is naked facing the sky, which means that they have nothing to hide from their gods.

Leonard left with regret.

No matter how handsome he is, he can't hold up to the weird hairstyle.

……

On this day, Leonard officially harvested the first batch of handmade soy sauce.

Handmade soy sauce has been made since last year, and now it is finally ready to eat.

The reddish-brown soy sauce is pleasing to the eye. Leonard tasted a little of the brewed soy sauce. It was salty, delicious and full-bodied.

All the raw materials he used to make soy sauce were the best raw materials that the territory could provide, and the soy sauce produced in this way was of course good.

With soy sauce, many things are more convenient to make.

Leonard couldn't wait to try the grilled eel first.

After cleaning the eel, marinate it first. The ingredients for marinating are sugar, wine, sauce and freshly made soy sauce.

The marinating time does not need to be too long, and then it can be grilled after being fished out. When grilling, keep turning over and spreading the sauce at the same time.

It can be baked in about 10 minutes, and the grilled eel is fresh and tender.

After roasting, brush a layer of honey and sprinkle some sesame seeds, it will look very appetizing.

The pieces of eel are grilled until the oil comes out, the skin is slightly charred, and there is a rich and delicious sauce on the outside.Leonard blew and took a bite,

When you bite down, you will first have the burnt aroma, then the sauce aroma, then the smooth and tender sebum feeling, and the sweet taste of honey-honey can better outline the fresh aroma of barbecued food, and the more profound is the far-reaching effect of brewing soy sauce. Fragrant taste... all of these, plus the taste of eel itself is very delicate, all the tastes and sensations erupt on the tip of the tongue, the wonderful combination, the collision of taste and taste sparks, people can't help but eat trembling.

Swallowing the eel, leaving a delicious and smooth feeling between the lips and teeth, is really great~!

Leonard hurriedly sent someone to call He Shen and Lu Bu to try it out.

Other than the eels, there were still a lot of fish left in Little Thorn Castle. Leonard put the freshwater fish directly into the pond in the outer courtyard, and dug a small pond next to it. It was quite convenient to fish directly when using it.

With soy sauce, Leonard asked his slaves to catch more than 100 fish, and prepared to cook a big meal for the people of Little Thorn Castle - fire-baked fish.

Fire-roasted fish is a classic Anhui dish, and its special preparation method means it can be made in large batches.

Fire roasting is actually a local name for smoked fish in Anhui, so it can also be understood as a special kind of smoked fish.

The fish is processed first, cut into pieces with a knife, and then marinated with seasoning.

After marinating, brush the iron grate (bi) with oil, place the fish on it, and start smoking.

It is best to use wood chips for smoking, so that there will be more smoke. Leonard also added some dried orange peels, which will have a little more fragrance, and can enrich the aroma of the fire-baked fish.

After the smoke is finished, put the smoked fish pieces in the cauldron, and then add various seasonings, of course including the freshly made soy sauce, and finally stew.

This fire-baked fish uses a variety of food techniques, such as marinating, smoking, stewing, and braising, and the effect is naturally very good.

The fish has a distinctive smoky flavor, slightly charred and crispy, spicy and delicious, and delicious.

The cooks cooked all the fish in one pot according to this method. Today, there are extra meals in Little Thorn Castle.

The fire-baked fish exudes a wonderful and tempting aroma, and the presentation is too good to make people feel that this is definitely a delicacy.

It's really great to hang out with the lord.
