Lord of Rot

Chapter 140 New Magic

After Li Qi's order was passed on, the work in the beekeeping village progressed quickly, and a small bucket of honey was sent to the castle.

After dinner, Li Qi came to the kitchen.

The castle's kitchen was enlarged to include several stoves.

When Li Qi needs to eat, the chefs will work together and start at the same time.

Everyone cooks a dish.

The advantage is that in winter, the dishes served together can be kept very hot, and there is no need to worry that this dish will be cold before the next dish is served.

The downside is the heat.

The stove started to burn, and the chef apprentices were sweating profusely from the heat.

The temperature in the kitchen will rise to a terrifying level.

Fortunately, Li Qi's appetite is not very good in summer, he doesn't like too greasy dishes, and more often he needs cold dishes, pickled cold dishes, etc.

The kitchen has been tidied up, and the wooden tabletop has obviously been wiped just now, with some damp marks on it.

"My lord!" The oak basin was standing in front of the stove, on which hot water was being boiled.

She knew that the lord likes to drink boiled water after dinner. Sometimes he simply makes honey, and sometimes he makes tea. What to drink depends on whether the lord will stay up late tonight and whether he needs to refresh himself.

But definitely need to drink water.

"Where is the bucket of honey sent by the beekeeping village?"

"it's here."

The oak tub immediately rummaged, and then struggled to bring a small wooden barrel weighing about [-] pounds. Seeing her struggling, Li Qi stretched out his hand to help lift the honey barrel to the table.

"Thank you, my lord!" Oak Basin's tired cheeks flushed slightly.

"You're welcome, Miss Oak Pot." Li Qi lifted the lid and said, "Can I have a taste?"

"I'll get you a spoon right away!"

There is no need to worry about the deterioration of honey. Bacteria cannot survive in honey, but it should be sealed well at ordinary times to avoid dust and ants. Akeke does not keep guard in the porcupine castle all the time.

The oak tub held a washed iron spoon.

Li Qi took a spoonful of honey and put it into his mouth.

The oak basin on the side opened its mouth slightly. She knew the taste of her lord. She was the type who put sugar into his mouth and would spit it out with a frown.

Absolutely, absolutely can't eat sweet things.

The sweet taste in the mouth really made Li Qi a little uncomfortable. He doesn't like sweets very much, but he cares more about the changes in his body than the sweetness in his mouth.

"It feels very subtle. I was a little lazy after eating, but now I suddenly have strength, and I seem to have recovered."

In other words, the nectar collected by that extraordinary bee has already been sent over!

Will drinking water soaked in griffin grass honey for a long time have any slight impact on the body, such as becoming stronger?
"When you make honey water for me in the future, you can use the honey in it first," Li Qi said.

Oak Basin nodded: "Yes!"

She didn't know the difference in the honey in it, but since the adults ordered it, then obey it obediently.

When Li Qi left, the oak basin suddenly let out an "ah". She just realized that she was still boiling water, and she even forgot to watch the fire. Fortunately, there was no major problem.

Back in the study, Glenn had been waiting for him in the study for a long time with a thick stack of papers.

"My lord!" Seeing Li Qi come back, Gren immediately stood up.

There are also a few chairs arranged in the study, and the discussion is also a laborious task, and Li Qi is still very considerate.

Grant didn't sit down, but watched the lord put the cane on the shelf, then pulled out the chair and sat behind the desk.

Putting his fingers together and pressing his chin up, Li Qi asked, "Is it a plan?"

"Yes, regarding the land reclamation and farming that you mentioned earlier, I personally brought people to inspect the geology, and the area you mentioned can be reclaimed." Grant nodded and said, "However, the housing problem is a little tense, and the construction of the commercial area may have to stop for a while. Stop, first build out the housing area you planned."

"Then let the mason construction team take the time to build a few large dormitories."

Slaves live in dormitories. Serfs can find castles to buy houses if they have money, but they are absolutely not allowed to build houses without permission.

Otherwise, like psoriasis, he spends money and effort just for planning.

Everyone knows that the houses in Livestock Village are better than those in Wheatfield Village, but the premise is that they are given by the lord. If they build them themselves, they will definitely look like Wheatfield Village in the end.

The house he built was cheap enough. If a serf really had the money to build a house, it would definitely be cheaper than buying it. He believed that everyone could understand this truth.

Porcupine collars do not engage in real estate, and houses are for people to live in.

As for the price changes in the future, he will try his best to control it. It just so happens that the night in Porcupine Collar is too dark. He plans to erect street lights, and he can hang something on it at that time.

In the early days, the serfs had no money, mainly because the houses were not enough to live in, so they could live in large dormitories first.

"Big dormitory?" Glenn was puzzled. "According to your plan, those serfs are vacant and have private property. They may not be willing to choose to live in a big dormitory."

"But we don't have any vacant houses at the moment, and there are not a few slaves sleeping on the streets recently, and after the large dormitory is completed, it can be used by people who don't plan to have their own houses for the time being." Li Qi said: "We don't have to spend money to buy out slave status Is it a policy? Maybe some people bought out their slave status, but they have no money for housing?"

Grant twitched the corner of his mouth.

How could there be no place to live.

Slaves can only earn work points, that is, they cannot redeem themselves.

In this case, if you want to buy out your slave status, you can only spend money from your relatives. Since your relatives have spent money, can you still let people have no place to live?
"Maybe some people will choose to live in a large dormitory. If it's free," Li Qi said: "Believe me, Gu Lan, many people would rather live in a dormitory, even if it's just to be cheaper. As a lord, I should give everyone a choice, not Force them to make a choice."

"Your kindness makes me ashamed," Grant said with his head bowed.

Li Qi smiled: "Is there any more?"

It's not a question of kindness, is more than 2000 people satisfied?No, he needs more people. Building houses is definitely unstoppable. Large dormitories are the fastest way to solve the housing problem. Don’t be afraid of building too many people. He will definitely be able to fill people up.

After a while, take it easy, and write a few letters to grandpa to cry about poverty, and see if you can get another slave.

"It's all trivial things, but you need to look over them."

The little things Grant said included a sow giving birth, a fox breaking free from its chain and rushing into a chicken coop, killing three chickens, and a cow dying.

Someone in the brick kiln suffered from heat stroke, but the pharmacist managed to save him.

The smithy needed more iron and needed funding.

The fishermen who came back with Li Qi have already settled down and started digging channels to divert water to raise fish.

Old Captain Peary was looking for qualified sailors, and after seeing the ship outside the Porcupine, he planned to choose twenty young and strong boys first.

Half of the sailors Li Qi recruited before were deemed unqualified by the old captain.

"They're fishermen," Grant said, "not sailors at all."

Li Qi: "..."

A fisherman is a fisherman, but raising freshwater fish in a porcupine collar can only be said to adjust the taste. There is no suitable fish farming environment here, and it is close to the sea. The most suitable thing is to go fishing.

"Plus, Joe said he's going to bring back a winemaker"

"Winemaker?" Li Qi was surprised: "He didn't tell me the news."

Grant said, "He wants to surprise you."

"But you said it first." Li Qi looked at Grant with a smile.

"Yes." Grant nodded and admitted, "Because I hope you can lower your expectations of that winemaker. I heard from Joe that the wine made by that winemaker doesn't taste good."

He was very euphemistic.

Li Qi understood that Glenn came to greet Joe on behalf of him. He felt that working for the Baron was neither too great nor too meritorious. This is also the character of a managerial talent.

And Joe, for some reason, is more inclined to make meritorious deeds.

Because of those monsters on Pig's Head Mountain.

Li Qi promised him before, it seems that after knowing that Li Qi won the battle, Joe cheered up again.

"Don't worry, as long as he knows how to make wine," Li Qi said, "I won't blame him."

The status of a winemaker is not low. The people of Lurea drink alcohol all over, and Li Qi can't hire anyone even if he wants to.

Another series of reports followed.

Some people are sick, some are injured, and there is good news. Someone in the territory is pregnant, which means that after ten months, the porcupine collar will add several newborns.

When Gren left, Li Qi slumped on a chair.

"call!"

too tired.

Being a lord always has to deal with the mess.

After drinking the honey water sent, the body recovered a little vitality.

He left the study, came to the garden, opened a tombstone, and entered the crypt.

Li Qi began to consciously spend the night studying the murloc crystals.

The easiest way is to put your mental strength into it.

"effective!"

He looked at the murloc crystal in surprise.

It didn't work before, but now with more than 40 spiritual power units, it seems to be different.

A new magic was quickly constructed in Li Qi's mind!
