Lord of Rot

Chapter 385
"I'm almost home~"

Li Qi stretched his waist. After boarding the boat, he fell headfirst on the bed. Maybe he had had enough dreams before. This time, his head was empty and he didn't dream anymore, and he fell asleep full of sleep.

Standing on the deck, blowing the sea breeze, blowing away the dullness in the cabin.

He casually took a sip of the tea brought by the servant.

"How is Nia?" Li Qi asked.

"It's my lord," Pitchfork replied, "According to your arrangement, only a small portion of food is given for each meal, so as to ensure that she will not be full."

"Yeah." Li Qi nodded: "After disembarking, ask the pharmacist to help her check her body, and pay attention to safety."

Looking at the upper part of the body, Snake Nia is a pitiful little girl, but the lower part of the body is exactly like a giant python tail. Ordinary people will die if they are entangled, so it is very necessary to control her physical strength through food .

to Pigtail Bay Marina.

Li Qi was the first to disembark, and there was no need for him to take care of the rest. Naturally, the steward of the dock would handle it.

The soldier led a walking horse and asked Li Qi to ride on it.

He refused other people to follow behind him, with his legs clamped on the horse's belly: "Drive!"

……

When Li Qi came to the scholar Thomas' residence, he was still studying the runes.

The spellcaster apprentices learned some knowledge from Scholar Thomas. It had been a day or two since the last bombardment on the ship, and the Porcupine was still being repaired, so they had nothing to do.

After seeing Li Qi coming, they stood up in unison: "Good day, my lord!"

"Yeah." Li Qi nodded, looking at the spellcaster apprentices: "The clothes are a little messy, I'll ask the tailor to order new clothes for you, the spellcaster robes..."

An idea started to move in his mind: "It's best to divide it into four colors, red, blue, yellow and green."

The apprentices only know that they have custom-made robes to wear, and they thank the lord repeatedly. They are all children of serf or slave origin, and they will be happy for a long time to wear new clothes.

Just as Li Qi was chatting with the little apprentices about whether they should each have a scarf and a broom, Scholar Thomas finally came out.

"grown ups!"

"I have something good for you." Li Qi took out the "book" he had simply bound.

"This is?"

Scholar Thomas simply flipped through it, and found that it was full of symbols he didn't recognize, but for some reason, it seemed to have a magical power: "Could it be runes?"

"It's mathematics."

Because of laziness, the thin book is full of formulas, without any nonsense, almost as dense as runes.

"math?"

Li Qi turned a page and said: "Like here, this number is X, a simple one-dimensional equation, X is set to be an unknown number, oh, this number is 1, this number is 2, 3, 4..., This is a plus."

He had listed the nine-to-nine multiplication table of this world before, and Thomas Scholars had heard about it, and after studying it, he was even more shocked, knowing that his lord was very knowledgeable.

It's a pity that the lord is very busy every day, otherwise he will definitely become the top and greatest scholar in the Lurea continent.

After a brief understanding, Thomas scholar's heart beat violently: "Could it be that this book is all the accumulation of knowledge in your brain?"

Each line of characters is complex.

Li Qi didn't attribute the knowledge to himself. Although he memorized it by rote, he didn't understand it at all.

His intellectual peak was in high school, and now he only knows what kind of food he likes to eat.

"I dreamed about it" he chose to tell the truth.

"You are indeed a great god-favored one!"

The Thomas scholar asked, "Would you like to give this..."

"Ninth Grade Mathematics Volume [-]" Li Qi said: "There is also volume [-], I haven't had time to bind those yet."

In fact, he didn't want to take it out all at once.

"Will you lend me this great ninth-grade math book?"

"Of course, I mainly want to show him to you." Li Qi smiled: "But I hope you can make a copy yourself. When I leave the porcupine collar, I may take it away."

Scholar Thomas nodded quickly: "I will, my lord!"

Even if Li Qi didn't say it, he planned to copy it secretly.

After Scholar Thomas couldn't wait to enter the ocean of knowledge, Li Qi, who was left alone, had no choice but to go to Betty's alchemy workshop with the rest of the books.

Betty's reaction was similar to that of Thomas Scholar. After getting the book, he went to study it alone, and threw it at the door very decisively.

Although the lord is a scumbag, he admires a top student.

……

Because he will stay in the porcupine collar for the time being and wait for the "evolution" of the strong stone to end, Li Qi still has to stay for a while.

After seeing the corn field in the territory, Li Qi arranged for someone to break some tender ones back, peel the skins, wash them and boil them in a pot.

At dinner, a group of people get together.

Lacey, Quickblade, Grant, Crowe, Joe, etc.

Without the presence of the lord, of course there would not be such a sumptuous dinner in the castle.

But looking at the pot of boiled corn in the middle, the senior executives of the porcupine collar looked embarrassed.

Grant asked, "My lord, do you really want to eat this?"

"What's the problem?"

"It's for pigs."

"Feed the pigs?" Li Qi frowned: "First feed the people, and then feed the pigs."

Lacey also said: "Of course serfs can eat it, but... how can you eat this?"

As an aristocrat, Lacey is also aware of his lord's informality. For example, many nobles belittle or even prohibit the cultivation of potatoes, but they are planted on a large scale in Porcupine Collar.

No one would complain that the lord forced them to eat potatoes, they would only be grateful to the lord for making them full.

But letting serfs eat it is completely different from eating it by the lord himself.

Lacey was a little anxious, and it could be seen that he was holding something in his heart.

"There is no distinction between high and low in food." Li Qi got up, picked up a corn and handed it to Lacey.

He had to accept what he offered from his allegiance to the lord, and Lacey just had to catch the corn.

Li Qi nodded in satisfaction, and then passed a bunch of corn to others one after another.

At last he sat down, took a bite of the corn, and said, "The fruit of corn is rich and filling, and it tastes sweet."

Seeing that the lord ate it, the others had to eat it too.

The one with the most no taboos is naturally Kuaibian, he doesn't care what he eats.

It tastes really good.

"When I study a few more dishes for you to try, you will know how delicious corn is."

He ate a lot of good food in his dream, and the taste was firmly remembered in his mind, stronger than mathematics knowledge.

Lacey lowered her head and said, "My lord, you shouldn't eat this kind of cheap food anymore. Before, some nobles called you the Baron of Potatoes, and now some people call you the Baron of Dung!"

This was the root cause of his reluctance to let Li Qi eat corn.

No one wants their lord to be insulted.

"Hahaha!"

Li Qi laughed out loud: "I didn't expect them to see the essence at a glance. Fertilization is indeed the most important thing!"

But except for Li Qi, no one laughed.

The atmosphere at the dinner table was odd.

Why is it so important to have a reputation without any objection? It's not easy to lead a team.

Does farming without dung make food more expensive?No, it will only reduce food production and make food more expensive.

Li Qi put down the corn and called his name seriously: "Sir Quickblade!"

"Yes!" Kuai Ren who was gnawing on the corn stood up.

"Two years ago, how many people were there in the porcupine collar?"

Quick Blade replied: "More than 200 people!"

Li Qi looked at Grant again: "Mr. Grant, how many people were there in the porcupine collar last year?"

Grant stood up and replied, "My lord, there are more than 600 people."

Li Qi finally looked at Lacey Heath: "Sir Lacey, how many people are there in the porcupine collar now?"

"More than 700 people!" Lacey replied.

After answering, he understood what Li Qi meant.

"In two years, the population of my territory has increased by 30 times, and no one will go hungry. Not only that, but food can also be sent to Iron Valley." Li Qi said, "I think they should change their name to me. It shouldn't be the Baron of Dung, but the Baron of Harvest, by the way... let's eat now, don't say such disgusting words."

Lacey Heath bowed his head: "Sorry, my lord!"

"Don't worry about jumping clowns," Li Qi said, "Our population will increase."

Those little nobles who called themselves the Baron of Dung behind their backs were just jealous because they saw their rapid development and good food harvest.

They didn't have Li Qi's courage, and they were reluctant to invest large sums of money, let alone feed the serfs. They would rather put the money in the basement for ashes than play its due role.

So seeing Li Qi's territory getting better and better, he couldn't help but slander him.

They have already seen the benefits of fertilization, but they did not choose to learn Li Qi's method of fertilization, but wanted to laugh at it, thinking that Li Qi should have suffered as much as they did. Without the ability to accept new knowledge, they are doomed to be just clowns , Li Qi didn't even have the idea to talk to them.

If they were really face to face, when they saw Li Qi, they would definitely be more in awe than their own son seeing his father.

Li Qi said: "Let's eat first, and arrange for people to open a new field tomorrow to continue planting corn."
