Lord of Rot

Chapter 201 Trivia and cavalry

Footsteps came from outside.

Li Qi stretched out his hand to pick up the back of Qingtian's neck, picked it up, and rescued the brass dragon from the cat's mouth.

"Okay, let's go out and play first." Li Qi waved his hand at the black cat.

"Meow~" Qingtian meowed, probably Pitts had taught it what this sentence meant, so after hearing Li Qi's words, it meowed twice, then jumped off the table and left.

"Oh, you must be careful, Your Excellency Qingtian." Grenn's laughter came from outside the door.

Knowing that someone was coming, the brass dragon complained: "So, I hate cats and dogs the most."

The moment the door was pushed open, the brass dragon closed its mouth, lying on the table as an exquisite brass dragon ornament.

Grenn entered the door: "Good day, my lord!"

"Good day." Li Qi sighed helplessly: "Glenn, I guess you must have carefully prepared the trivial matters for me for more than a month."

"Yes, my lord, I've put them all on paper for your convenience."

The papermaking technology has not been fully rolled out, but it can already be used by the city hall and Li Qi.

"You are so caring." Li Qi looked at the thick stack of paper, each page was densely written, and felt a little headache.

The trivial matters of the 2000 people, all bits and pieces, should be passed on to him if they are resolved, and those that are not resolved should be sent up. This is also Li Qi's previous request, in order to prevent someone from taking the opportunity to corrupt.

In fact, corruption is absolutely unavoidable, as is the case in human society.

All he can do is to tighten supervision and crack down every once in a while.

If it gives people a feeling of not doing anything, the people below will only become more and more arrogant.

"The horse farm has been built"

While Li Qi was flipping through the report, Gu Lan was also dictating the report and explaining to Li Qi: "Master Cro Camel said that he can go to the desert nobles to buy some excellent war horses."

Each region has its own characteristic war horse, just like the strong-maned horse in the East Gorge, which has a hotter temper and is more balanced overall.

Horses with giant feet are small in size and lively, suitable for running in harsh environments, but they are not as good as strong maned horses in open ground.

Enduo's prairie warhorse is very big, and it is said that it knows how to cooperate, so that those prairie barbarians can unite horses and horses, but their charging ability is poor.

Horses in the north are more suitable for light cavalry and scouts.

Although the war horses in the desert area are not agile enough, they have strong adaptability and endurance, which are very suitable for knights to charge.

Nowadays, there is no specific geographical division, no matter where the land is, you can see nobles riding various types of war horses.

"And it's more affordable," Grant said.

"Then bring in a batch of desert warhorses," Li Qi said, "Let Quick Blade arrange a group of soldiers to escort Crowe to Thunder Weng City."

After arranging the horses, the next issue is the residential area. When it comes to moving, the city hall finally figured out the account of the demolition and moving.

Not easy.

When Li Qi came back, he saw that the house was almost finished.

Li Qi said: "The house is still not enough to live in, and we will continue to build it next year."

"As for relocation, let's wait for a while, maybe we can move in before it snows this year."

What Li Qi thinks is that people have some money in their hands, and living in a new house cannot be divided equally. The more they pursue "equality", the easier it is to be unequal.

The easiest way is to spend money.

Those who have money live in it, and those who have no money wait for the second phase of the residential area to build a house.

So he has to wait a little longer, and then there will be more rich people.

If you move to a new house at the price of cabbage, you have to pay the price of cabbage, right?

When it comes to building a house, we must talk about the construction of the dock.

"It may be a while before you want to build a watchtower on the coast of the headland."

"Then build the wharf first," Li Qi said, "After building the wharf, let Piri take the sailors to try it out, otherwise, wouldn't our ship be wasted?"

"Yes" Ge Lan nodded. He also prefers to pass the waterway first. When the time comes, he can try to let the caravan go to Donggang City. The traffic will be much more convenient. Moreover, with the wharf, merchants who are willing to come to the porcupine collar will definitely be more satisfied. many.

Then there is the problem of the recent decline in orders from the blacksmith factory.

Although I am usually tired, I also earn a lot of money. Now that I am suddenly idle, the blacksmiths can't make any money, and they feel a little dissatisfied.

In contrast, carpenter workshops and mason construction teams have never had a break.

Tired, but crazy money.

"Let them build a batch of more weapons, as well as the iron pipe I asked to build." Li Qi said, "There are also projectiles."

The musket was poorly aimed, but not unusable.

In the history of the earth, no one has ever seen anyone aim and then shoot. The real usage of muskets is to fire.

The musket has problems such as inaccuracy and short range.

But it is more convenient and easy to use than it. It only needs gunpowder and the advantage of pulling the trigger. It is not unacceptable to be inaccurate. As long as the shooting range is large enough, no matter where I hit, I will definitely die.

It's just that Li Qi is not sure how effective the musket can be in the world of extraordinary people.

At present, with the help of Claude's caravan, the price of the basic materials of gunpowder has been reduced a lot, and he also plans to move the musket to the stage.

"Yes." Grant didn't understand the function of iron pipes, but nodded obediently. Anyone who had seen Li Qi's invention ability would not doubt his decision.

"and also……"

The problem of being squeezed for more than a month is enough to crack Li Qi's head.

For example, the forbidden sex between men and women has begun again.

Single women and single men, there is always one party who cannot restrain himself.

"It must be strictly controlled!" Li Qi repeatedly emphasized: "Usually pray to the four gods one by one, but at this time, they have begun to indulge again, right?"

It's not that he doesn't understand that people have physical needs, but the chaotic relationship between men and women will only breed diseases.

Not only the current level of medical treatment cannot be cured.

Chaotic relationships are also a way for disease to spread.

"If it doesn't work, go on a blind date and let them get married," Li Qi said.

"Blind date?"

"It's almost like a noble ball," Li Qi explained.

The most famous dating culture is the aristocratic dance party. You can try to communicate with the lady you like. As for how deep the communication can be and whether you can communicate at a negative distance, it depends on each person's ability.

But the common people's blind date is really going through the motions, just look at it, don't dislike the elder brother.

Grant nodded: "If we can hold a party where everyone in the porcupine collar can participate, it will definitely be exciting."

"Among them, it's best if someone can find a mate," he said.

It's human nature to seek excitement, as the saying goes, it's better to steal than a wife is worse than a concubine, and it's better not to steal than to steal.

However, strictly prohibiting triggering can also effectively prevent the birth and spread of diseases.

Blocking is worse than sparseness, and the "sparseness" Li Qi gave means marriage.

Porcupine collar currently has more women than men, let every man have a wife first, and then solve some of the needs.

As for the rest... we can only get some more population.

"Men are not enough"

Li Qi sighed.

Just after giving orders to Glenn, Joe also came over there, and his question was rather simple.

Need to scale up.

The porcupine wine business is very good, and Claude is already asking for more money.

The sales of honey are also good, but as winter is approaching, bees need to survive the winter, and honey cannot be produced in a short time.

"The caravan from the Trident River also came to inquire, hoping to buy some wine."

Nothing makes Li Qi happier than asking about the caravan coming.

Sanchahe Land is also the noble territory of Dongxia. As the name suggests, it is surrounded by Sancha River, rich in waterways and ecological resources.

And there are veins, I heard that precious alchemy resources can often be mined.

In short, Baron Porcupine is very envious, and he is also a rich man.

"Expand the scale." Li Qi slapped the table, and immediately made a judgment: "Continue to expand the scale. In terms of employment, the local civilians in the porcupine collar should be hired first, especially those whose families live in the porcupine collar, get married and have children."

"Yes."

As long as the market demand, then crazy production.

But food cultivation cannot be left behind. Food is the foundation. Otherwise, raw materials also require people and will only be controlled by people.

"There is still a shortage of people, so we have to find a way to get more people."

The senior management of the porcupine collar came in line, and as soon as Joe left, the quick blade came again.

Quick Blade was very straightforward: "My lord, do you want to buy a war horse?"

Although the racecourse is far away from Porcupine Fort, as long as you are not deaf, you can definitely hear the construction plan.

"Do you have any suggestions?" Li Qi asked after taking a sip of honey beer.

Judging by Kuai Ren's expression, he knew that he came prepared.

Li Qi knew it in his heart.

He wants the horse farm, just for the cavalry.

The role infantry can play is too limited.

In particular, he is going to bring highly mobile musketeers onto the battlefield. Qi Jiguang's gun cavalry is his initial goal.

"hey-hey"

Quick Blade smiled: "I don't have any suggestions, but my lord, didn't you say that you want to form a cavalry before? Those bastards under your hand want me to come and ask about the cavalry."

Speaking of cavalry, Li Qi often used the excuse of picking cavalry to fight, and he picked a hundred.

But every time he finished the beating, he put on his pants... He patted his buttocks and left directly, causing the soldiers under him to panic, and there was no way to believe it, but after all, it was the lord, so even if he put it on The pants are ignored, and they dare not say anything.

Coincidentally, now that Li Qi is going to buy war horses and build a horse farm, the soldiers' enthusiasm for riding horses has been activated again.

"Well," Li Qi said, "Then go and select another hundred soldiers, and then the veterans and recruits will train and select together."

100 soldiers is not enough to see, Li Qi wants to expand the size of the team.

"Ah?" Quick Blade was stunned, and then quickly reacted: "Yes!"

Recruiting another hundred new recruits means that the number of cavalry will also increase. Veterans have greater opportunities than recruits.
