The Defeated Dragon
Chapter 574: Major Strikes (Fourth, Ten Thousand Dollars Reward 2/2)
This chapter is a reward for the Little Razor Kitchen.
————
Wastegrass Lester intended to be housed in the town of Mushrooms, which was originally planned to build more than 10,000 acres of mushroom huts, and is now being used to plan new abandoned grasses.
Unfortunately, the number of serfs per herb is only 10, and it is not an easy task to teach other serfs to grow in a short period of time.
After all, each island has a different hydrology and climate, and planting techniques need to be fine-tuned accordingly.
In about a year, these five kinds of abandoned worms won't do much. But Lester can't wait. He's young, he's only 18.
Over the next period, he was urging 50 new serfs to build a large shed of discarded grass - but after examining the environment in Shigemitsu town, 20 serfs shook their heads, and only serfs who could grow mycelium, monkey mushrooms, and butterflies found the environment in Shigemitsu suitable.
“My lord, blue pine mushrooms require dark, rotten woodland to grow, and mushroom towns lack trees, making it difficult to grow blue pine mushrooms," said the serfs planting blue pine mushrooms. ”
Slaves planting black truffles also said: "My lord, black truffles require a large number of dead trees, preferably pine trees, and cannot be too close to the sea, otherwise they will be of poor quality. ”
“So you go on a tour of Black Horse Island, pick the right place to plant it, and what's missing is a direct request from a Gaultai consultant. ”
Lester has always been a tall builder, offering one direction, leaving everything to his subordinates to execute.
He handled territorial affairs, rather than holding a meeting to arrange some old-fashioned decisions - “You have to attach great importance”, “Gaultai, I have entrusted it to you”, “Execute it as soon as possible”, "This is a key property in the territory, it cannot be ignored”, “Well done, I have a reward”.
To sum it up, that's the story.
Fortunately, while he prefers to substitute scenes for decision-making, he never interferes with specific jobs. For example, when the planting of abandoned worms is handed over to Gorte, he only asks about progress, without forcibly interfering with how it is planted.
recently, however.
There were still many problems in the Territory, which gradually wrapped around him.
Flower Town Counsellor Isaiah complained constantly: "My lord, the serfs of Flower Town are seriously inadequate and cannot be moved to Black Horse Island. ”
“Have a cup of tea and put out the fire.” Lister told the servant to make him a cup of green tea, "the serfs will. I have asked Livius to help me find a new group of 3,000 serfs coming. And when this year's pioneering order comes back, I will continue to search for 20,000 serfs to transport back. ”
Isaiah bargained: "My lord, you must distribute these 3,000 serfs to Flower Town. At the end of the year, the serf Flower Town can be divided a little less. ”
“Rest assured, the serfs will not lack you. All you need to do now is appease the hearts and minds of the people of the Territory, make the serfs feel at home in the Territory and prevent disturbances after the arrival of the new serfs. ”
“Yes, my lord, Isaiah must strictly control the public opinion and opinion of the territory, intensify the propaganda, so that the serfs can return to their hearts as soon as possible, and in no way affect the integration of the new serfs! ”
This side has just appeased Isaiah.
Blair, the Harbor Town Counsellor, came to the door and pleaded, "Lack of men, the city hall has been stalled for a week and there are no workers! Counselor Gaultai pulled out another batch of serfs to grow the abandoned wormgrass, and nobody would keep the town running! ”
“Don't be impatient, Blair, come, have a cup of tea to put out the fire.” Lester asked the servant to make Blair another cup of green tea.
Green tea hospitality has become his hallmark, a little to guide the fashion of green tea. After a moment, Blair was also sent away with the same words as before.
Liszt finally calmed down for a while.
“It was unexpected that nearly 20,000 serfs had been returned only last year, and that 5,000 serfs had been purchased in small quantities in between, still unable to keep pace with territorial development.” He himself was on fire, and the slave trade with Livius had not stopped and was still short of people.
During the Pioneering Order period, serfs were inexpensive and he bought them in large quantities.
In peacetime, serfs are not only expensive, but also often old, weak and disabled, and continue to be purchased in small quantities.
Other people's territories do not have as many industries, naturally they do not need as many serfs, and they can develop on schedule. Lester's territory, with almost successive industries, requires extensive serfdom for each industry. So serfs are always scarce, never rich.
“It is hoped that the cultivation will develop as soon as possible to reduce dependence on serfdom… It does not feel good to engage in the serfdom trade for a long time.” He sighed slightly in the dark.
Every boat of serfs has a ghost behind it.
He can quickly integrate into the aristocratic system and be corrupted by luxurious aristocratic life, but inner goodness is rare. I wanted to convince myself - that I was a traveler, that humans were not compatriots at all, but aliens from different worlds, but how could I be indifferent to every living figure?
Drink all the green tea in the cup.
He suddenly decided: “I cannot stop developing the territory, the only thing I can do is probably to ensure the safety of the slave trade and the well-being of the serfs living in the territory… Starting tomorrow, lower taxes while raising the basic wage in the territory, raising the minimum standard from two copper plates per day to three copper plates per day. ”
This was his second raise in the wage scale, which he raised from one copper plate to two on the New Year's Day.
“I have so many industries that doing business can feed my territory without the need to strip the people. ”
……
The shortage of human beings is difficult to solve, and the bad news follows.
The bad news this time is that the natural magic studied in Arjun - after the systematic examination of the Sun language by Arjun, it has been possible to read a lot of Sun language - has been translated by her in a detailed introduction to Magic Beans in Druid Mandatory - Magic Bean Growing book.
It takes about a decade for a magic bean to grow into a giant tree. Production in the first decade was very low and gradually grew in the second decade, with peaks reaching 50,000 kg of magic beans per tree per year after about 40 years.
“A tree produces 50,000 kilos a year, which is really impressive. ”
What's wrong with Lester? What's wrong with him? “But why does it take 10 years to turn out, and 20 years to grow? Fifty thousand pounds a year in 40 years? ”
Forty years later, Liszt was 58 years old and, according to his own estimates, had reunified the continent.
At that time, there was no need for magic beans.
Arjun then deciphered Advanced Druid Mandatory - Transformation Tree Planting, which also documented the growth cycle of the deformation tree. It takes a hundred years for a tree to grow to form and build the bones of a ship in the sky! Even the thin deformed tree on the wrist takes twenty years to grow.
“Twenty years, thick wrist, barely able to build a carriage… do I need a deformation tree like this?” Lister was completely defeated by the news.
instant loss of interest in all magic plants.
Nevertheless, he spent 10 minutes restoring his mind and then handing over natural magic and magic plants to Archer. Wait for Archer to work out the results, and then give it to Chris —— 10 years of maturity, 100 years of material, such good stuff, to be left to future generations.
Cool Lister, a few days late, still got good news.
Chris joined forces with Granny's two magicians to finally study the golden pearl from the golden lipstick. And using Golden Pearl to create a magical device that can "cool down” - Golden Lipstick is a water property sea monster, and its pearl is also a water property, but can produce an ice property effect.
Each gold pearl is a magic air conditioner that only cools down and doesn't heat up.
