The Lord is Addicted in Infrastructure

Chapter 29

Xia Zuoyi deliberately left the Trak people a few days to adapt and rest.

They were first captured and defeated by the Anas Empire. After experiencing the destruction of the country and losing their family and friends, they were all taken to the empire to be humiliated and forced to imprint the shame of slavery…

The body and mind of most people must have been devastated and become numb.

After this, the people of Trak were sent to Gadaat.

Everything on their bodies was searched clean, except for the clothes they were wearing and the shackles on their hands and feet.

Therefore, during the period of adaptation, Xia Zuoy sent soldiers to send some intact clothes, food to fill the stomach, daily necessities, etc. for the people of Trak for free.

Fernandi reported to Xia Zoe in detail that he passed by on the way after bringing back the Trak nationals.

It is mentioned that the wounds formed by some people in the country of Trak have been branded on their shoulders and have not yet healed. This may cause them to become weak, groggy, and feverish.

After Xia Zuoyi heard this, he ordered the soldiers to pay attention to this aspect.

He prepared some of the existing plant medicines in the Thorns Chamber of Commerce. Soldiers can bring serious Turk citizens to the Chamber of Commerce in exchange for medicines for treatment.

Fernandi told about the use of a botanical ointment, and said: “The young boy who almost passed out of coma because of the heat from the branded wound should be a girl.”

“Probably the disguise and cover-up were done for safety reasons, but she is also very likely to be in doubt.”

“I have made people pay more attention. If an abnormal situation is found, it will be reported immediately.”

Xia Zoe nodded, expressing awareness.

Herbal medicine and ointment are completely used in two different ways, one for internal use and the other for external application.

People who are injured on the body can naturally drink medicine, but the effect of directly applying the ointment to the wound may be more obvious.

However, the botanical medicine can be packed in a bottle, jar or usual vessel.

Plant ointment is more troublesome.

This is about the paper wrapped around the ointment.

On the Western Continent, there are two types of paper that people can use so far.

One is the expensive, slow and complicated parchment paper.

This kind of paper is also called skin paper, which is to use animal skin into paper.

The process from material selection to completion is not only complicated, but also takes a long time.

Therefore, the price of a well-made and exquisite parchment paper is so high that the manor without savings cannot even afford it.

But parchment paper is water-resistant, abrasion-resistant, soft and delicate, easy to fold or roll up for storage, and is extremely popular among the nobles.

Naturally, civilians and slaves could not afford or touch parchment.

The second type of paper is papyrus.

The cost is low, and it is also suitable for ordinary writing.

But in Xia Zuoy’s view, the manufacturing process of papyrus is not easy, but compared to parchment, the preparation steps of papyrus will be easier.

In addition, the shortcomings of papyrus are obvious. The paper is fragile, and the paper can easily be broken when turned, and its toughness is insufficient.

Xia Zoe has made botanicals that can treat cough and fever.

Soon after.

He slowly made a botanical ointment with the same effect.

Xia Zoe tried to sandwich the ointment between two papyrus, but the result was obviously not working.

So he sandwiched the ointment in parchment and gave them as gifts to Udit, Gibran, Fernandi, and Walker.

This kind of ointment can be given as a gift, but it cannot be sold as a commodity in the Thorns Chamber of Commerce.

Otherwise, the loss is definitely greater than the profit.

He will lose a small amount of money.

In this regard, Xia Zuoy felt that it was time to show our oriental magical big papermaking technique.

Wait until the paper is made.

The Thorns Chamber of Commerce will be able to make an extra money, and botanical ointments can also be sold.

Xia Zuoyi clicked on the system interface to check his reputation value.

He is no longer the first time when he was poor and white. The reputation value has increased rapidly. In order to avoid disturbing the “people”, he muted the reminder very early.

Now, the plot deviates from the value by 3%.

Xia Zuoyi took his gaze back without paying too much attention, and immediately afterwards, he exchanged his reputation points for books related to papermaking.

098 At this time, a match head appeared from the upper left of the system interface, and then crawled down. When it landed on the bottom edge of the system interface, he accidentally dropped a **** stick.

098 stood up and patted indifferently: [Host, do you want to learn papermaking? 】

Xia Zuoyi: “Yes, since I want to carry out all-round infrastructure construction, how can I become a versatile talent…”

The result of not working hard is death.

The two matchsticks of 098 clenched fists: [Host, come on. 】

Xia Zoe: “You weren’t on the system interface just now, where did you go?”

[098 entered the channel to play games with the sand sculpture system and the krypton gold system. 】

“……Who’s winning?”

The stickman’s voice is calm: [Krypton Gold System has never lost, 098 and Sand Sculpture System have never won. 】

Xia Zuoyi looked at Stickman in a rather complicated mood: “Don’t play games with the Krypton system again next time.”

[Ok, host. 】

Xia Zoe paused and added: “I rarely stay with the sand sculpture system, um…it will be contagious.”

Remember, you are a Buddhist system.

The stickman tilted his head and seemed a little puzzled.

But he nodded obediently and agreed: [Ok, host. 】

Xia Zuoyi added another item to the content of reading and learning.

In the afternoon, when he was in the study to study how to make papermaking smoothly, Toby’s panicked voice sounded outside the door, as well as the shouts of the maid.

“Snowball briquettes, you can’t run around anymore, stop now…”

“Ooo, oooo.”

Obviously, the two little tigers would not listen to Toby’s words at all, and dodge cleverly from left to right among the maids who tried to stop them, jumping fast.

Xia Zoe was a little puzzled.

Snow **** and briquettes stuck to him too much.

So after lunch, he asked Udit and Toby to take the two little tigers out and let them go.

Why are you back now?

Xia Zoe got up from the chair and walked to the door. As soon as the door was opened, two big, obviously dark **** suddenly rushed towards him.

Toby exclaimed: “Master Earl!”

Xia Zuoy rarely sat down on the ground sluggishly.

The clean white clothes he wore were instantly rubbed and dirty by two little tigers that had turned into mud dumplings, and even his face was not spared. He was put on two dusty marks and slid on the sides of his mouth. .

The snowballs and briquettes looked very excited, and the plump tail behind them couldn’t help shaking, and the mud pips on the fur that hadn’t completely dried up to the ground.

Of course he was also thrown away.

“Don’t press the Lord Earl.”

Toby and the maid tried to pull away the snow ball and briquettes, but they were scared by their teeth.

Xia Zoe sighed helplessly after returning to his senses, pulled one of the tiger ears away with one hand, and then stood up on the ground and asked: “What happened? Where is Udit?”

Toby scratched his head: “Butler Udette will leave for a while when something happens, and then the snowballs and briquettes will knock over the buckets next to the vegetable plot…It’s all because I didn’t take good care of them.”

Xia Zuoyi: “The vegetables in the ground have not been crushed, have they?”

Toby shook his head: “No, Lord Earl, the food is very good.”

Xia Zoe breathed a sigh of relief.

In the vegetable plot, he had specially ordered beets to be planted.

On the Western Continent, there are areas where sugarcane is grown, but it is in the farthest southwest.

The juice of sugarcane is rich and sweet, and it is the raw material for making white sugar.

However, because it is not suitable for planting in some other areas, the number is not large, and the production process and steps are also cumbersome. It is divided into several links such as pressing and mixing.

Before the emergence of effective sugar-making machinery, a large number of laborers were needed, productivity was extremely low, and the amount of white sugar that could be produced was even scarce.

-“Sugar is more expensive than gold coins”.

-“Sugar is white gold”.

These two sentences are not groundless on the Western Continent.

for example.

There is no white sugar made from sugar cane in Xia Zoe’s territory.

Even in the entire Gadayat, it is estimated that only the old king can enjoy sugar.

Xia Zoe had done some understanding before.

Sugar is the most expensive commodity in the Nagarbi Chamber of Commerce, and the country where sugar flows the most is the San Airo Empire.

People on the Western Continent use very few seasonings, not to mention spices, not to mention dark dishes.

White sugar does not exist as a seasoning here, but an expensive and rare commodity.

Sweetness is essential.

But when there is no sugar or sugar cannot be used, it is used as a substitute to cook meals. The main ingredients for making desserts are honey and grape water.

Especially honey is very popular in places where sugar is scarce or even invisible.

Some nobles even passed on honey as a legacy.

As for civilians and slaves, even a taste of sweetness is a delusion.

Beet is a commonly eaten vegetable with a hint of sweetness. It is mainly used to make sweet soup or put it in porridge for cooking.

The nobles believed that vegetables grown from the ground were very low-grade ingredients.

And most vegetables are eaten raw or boiled.

Therefore, the nobles are very repulsive.

In order not to affect their appetite, they will order the chef to chop up the vegetables in advance, and the vegetables that are served afterwards are basically out of recognition and they are not clear.

Sugar beet can make sugar, and it is also the main source of sugar other than sugar cane.

But the people on the Western Continent haven’t found it yet.

The extraction process of beet is relatively simple. When sugarcane cannot be considered, sugar beet is the best and only option.

Xia Zuoyi thought about it, then lowered his head and pulled the ears of the snowballs and briquettes, and whispered: “The bigger the more naughty, if you get into trouble again, you won’t give it to meat.”

The two little tigers seemed to understand the general, and squatted on the ground grunting and grunting.

When Udit came back, he took them one by one into a large wooden barrel that had already been boiled for a bath.

If you want to live in a brand new place, it is inevitable that the people of Amtrak will feel uncomfortable and even upset.

After all, everything around is very strange, strange environment, strange people…

They are outsiders, captives, and slaves.

Reynolds and Yadai worry about whether they will be discriminated against, excluded and bullied here.

But it was exactly like the soldier who sent them to the city said-it will naturally understand after living.

There are soldiers who come on patrol at any time near the place where the Terrak people live.

The leader is a knight named Dinah Prince.

On the first night they lived in Fort Komoy, it was the knight who brought some soldiers to bring clothes, food and necessities.

Renault remembered him saying that this was the arrangement of Lord Earl.

Nothing happened the next day.

The third day.

Reynolds found that the three of them seemed to have been targeted.

There will always be people sneaking around the house they live in, stalking without a trace.

Reynolds recognized the identities of those people.

The person who followed them was originally the son of a duke of Terraque.

The duke secretly supported the second prince who wanted to fight for the crown prince, but in the end it was the second prince who introduced the people of the Anas Empire into the state of Trak.

The second prince was killed on the spot, and the duke immediately took refuge in the enemy.

Although the Duke was not killed by a sword, he died of a painful illness while being taken to the Anas Empire.

Reynolds didn’t expect his son to be alive, and it seemed that he had a lot of attendants around him.

As I said earlier, the people of Amtrak are not completely united.

Class and class are still clearly distinguished.

It was originally the civilians and slaves of Trak Nation gathered together.

The people who were originally the nobles of the manor were divided into two camps spontaneously.

Most people who are hostile to the second prince and regard him and his vassals as sinners gather together, and the remaining small group of people can only cooperate with each other to save their lives.

Reynolds had a foresight.

He took Yadai and Sarah disguised as civilians, and the old nobles who could recognize his illegitimate child were almost dead.

In the past, Renault rarely went to the palace unless necessary.

He is very happy to be a viscount, and he thinks about his favorite equipment on weekdays.

Yadai doesn’t need to pretend, he is a civilian.

Renault met Yadai’s teacher, alchemist, and he had been in friendship since he was a child.

As long as Sara’s identity is not discovered…

But now, someone seems to have noticed it.

The third day.

When the patrolling soldiers left this area, the duke’s son suddenly broke into their residence with several people.

After Renault and Yadai did not react in time and quickly subdued them, then they looked at Sara carefully.

The Duke’s son suddenly laughed, proudly on his face: “It turned out to be Queen Sarah, no wonder I feel so familiar, but you are willing to cut off your long hair and pretend to be a dirty boy. Before I was in the forest. Some don’t dare to recognize it.”

At that time, Fernandi’s action of unfastening the shackles and throwing them ointment attracted a lot of attention.

But Reynolds thought that there would be little chance of them being discovered after so many people and trees, but he didn’t expect to be seen by the duke’s son.

Someone next to him said: “Cory, hand over the prince!”

“Since this place is so generous and generous, we might as well take the opportunity to exchange it with the prince’s daughter and get rid of the status of slaves.”

“Yeah, Corey, Lauder is right. I don’t want to be a slave anymore. Let’s meet the little earl and let him restore our noble status.”

Renault roared: “Dare you!”

He struggled hard, but was kicked violently, and his knee slammed to the ground.

Yadai looked at them angrily: “Corey Moya, your father is a sinner in Terrak! Are you still hurting the blood left by the royal family?!”

“The God of Creation will definitely punish you! And you!”

When Corey Moya heard the words, his expression instantly turned cold, and walked to Yadai’s side and slapped him: “Being a slave is already the greatest insult and punishment to me.”

“You are just a lowly civilian, what right do you have to yell at!”

Sarah was gagged and tied aside, her eyes looked outside the house anxiously and asking for help.

Because they live close to each other, a single sound can attract people.

Now there are quite a few Amtrak nationals standing around the house, but they are temporarily blocked by Corey Moya’s followers.
