Lord of Rot

Chapter 440 Let Another World See What an Infrastructure Maniac Is
"The Shiphead has bought the hay, hoping to get the technology of the water mill?"

Li Qi didn't expect Alex to bring him such news.

After the banquet, he lay on the bed and was about to fall asleep, but Alex came to disturb him and said he had something important to disturb him, so Li Qi had no choice but to put on his clothes to meet him.

Inside the study.

The figures of the two were dragged to the wall by the candlelight, and with the airflow driven by the conversation, the flames swayed the shadows of the two.

"Yes sir"

Alexis looked ugly: "I think you should kill Hay immediately as punishment for betrayal!"

Li Qi tapped the table lightly with his fingers: "What did he promise to give you?"

"Meritorious" Alex said: "He said that the Fortress harvested a lot of grain. Now, my lord, you have maintained a friendly relationship with Princess Sophia of the Desert. There is a lot of food shortage. If you can buy a large amount of grain at a low price, I will be rewarded. "

That's right, now that Li Qi wants to develop a large number of cavalry, and even wants to reduce costs and make profits in desert areas, food is naturally very scarce.

The desert is my family's horse farm, and the war horses don't cost money, but the food for the war horses does cost money.

To reduce the cost of food is to make money.

As for the water mill... because it has been strictly protected, no one has been able to reproduce the technology of the water mill until now. After all, there is a lesson learned from the tuna family, and no one can guarantee that they can bear the anger of the porcupine.

"Then give it to him," Li Qi said.

Alex obviously didn't expect Li Qi to say this: "Huh? To him? That's..."

"It's just a waterwheel," Li Qi said indifferently.

The efficiency of waterwheels is extremely unstable, and limited by geographical issues, it is even more impossible to build unlimited waterwheels. If the water flow is too small, it will be completely useless.

He also has better nature powers at his disposal, such as windmills.

The best way is manpower, the cost is low, and a piece of black bread can drive it, which is quite useless for street lights.

The internal combustion engine is also possible, but it is not something he can twist out with his hands, and he can only hope for scholars.

As a lord, it is his greatest advantage to discover and use talents without prejudice.

The real benefit is to switch to a low-price grain purchase channel for a waterwheel technology.

Looking at the noble young man who was still struggling, Li Qi said: "Alex, you did a good job in this matter. The territory will never forget your contribution, and I will never forget your loyalty. I look forward to the day when you become a knight." one day."

If nothing else, take my cake first!
"Yes, my lord!" Alex bent down excitedly.

He gave up the temptation of the benefits of the fat steward, and took the initiative to confess to Li Qi what he was looking for?Of course, it is hoped that loyalty will be exchanged for real glory.

Compared with the short-sighted hay that only looks at the short-term interests, Alexis has a longer-term view. The rise of the porcupine is no longer comparable, and he should strengthen his beliefs instead of being clever. They are the first children of noble families. The lesson is to learn how to stand in line.

"It's hay, I've been making small moves all the time." Li Qi hesitated. Although the other party was very greedy, he was definitely a talent and could always bring him surprises.

Moreover, some nobles who were obviously at odds with Li Qi, when they wanted to do something that harmed others and benefited themselves, they would also follow the relationship of hay, and it was better to leave a target than no target.

But it should be beaten, and it must be beaten.

"I will arrange someone to watch him, you go back and rest."

"Yes, sir~"

Li Qi, who returned to Iron Valley, immediately started the crazy infrastructure mode after two days of rest.

Not because of anything else, he has part of the money in his hand, and Tie Gu is just acting as a transit point for the porcupine collar, which is too inferior.

The environmental problems here cannot be transformed into industry, and the land is not suitable for agriculture. Even if Li Qi has used the rotten magic of the black dragon to improve the soil quality, it is still difficult to make it reach the level of the porcupine collar, let alone compare with places such as Golden Wheat Field. .

Except for the fire oil which is still somewhat difficult to mine, the lilac mushrooms that can barely support the expenses, and the less and less used blood herbs, there is nothing too special here.

Therefore, Li Qi intends to take advantage of the terrain and turn this place into a talent training center.

As for those previous plans, they can be discarded, the territory will be expanded, and the goal should be set in the long run.

Because he owned more than half of the desert, Li Qi planned to directly abandon the breeding of war horses in the porcupine collar, leaving only the horse farm to train a small number of cavalry. Most of the cavalry in the future will come from the desert.

Like most infantry would come from a poodle collar.

Only by combining the strengths of each region's arms can we create the strongest team.

"The Dongxia soldiers are obviously heavy infantry, and Enduo's cavalry are cavalry archers. The desert is barely a T1 version of light cavalry. Well, if you want to recruit the strongest version, it seems that you still need to expand the territory. Although Lintawan currently belongs to the East But I like to wear light armor in battle, and my bow and arrow skills are also good, but I have musketeers, and the musketeers are undoubtedly T0 in terms of long-range!"

It's like playing cavalry and slashing. If you only gather the same type of troops in one area desperately, the final result will be to be smashed by the enemy.

Cavalry and cavalry are not the same concept.

Lonely Mountain Castle is very suitable for cultivating scholars, spellcasters, supernatural beings, and high-level talents.

As an industrial zone, porcupine collar has too many functions, so some functions can be taken out.

And here is also a commercial territory in transition. He plans to make each of his territories have basic commercial attributes. After all, the world is too chaotic, and it is not good for him to pull the whole body.

Self-sufficiency is the primary goal of development at this stage.

We must resolutely implement the three... In short, that's probably what it means.

For the little nobles who have been used to being relaxed and idle recently, life is not so comfortable.

Meetings are held every day. If the road is not repaired, they will probably spend a lot of time on the road.

Li Qi clapped his hands and attracted everyone's attention: "Bless the four gods, after everyone's efforts, we have basically completed the original goal. A small market, a residential area, and three villages. The life is barely passable. Or That sentence continues to build roads, and in these areas, clear out the area... and here, here..."

The two brick kiln factories started to work frantically. In order to supply the needs of Shangtiegu, Li Qi's manpower was not enough, so he had to go to the giant's feet to recruit "trainees" in large numbers. No, it was cheap and easy to use. civilian.

Not that he didn't want to buy slaves.

The reform of Giant's Foot is obviously still very successful, probably because of Prince Hoffman's thunderous means, and there is no slave trader on the bright side of Giant's Foot.

Even if there are slaves, the price will not be too cheap, because it is the autumn harvest season, and manpower is very expensive.

As a result, horse-drawn carriages began to appear in Burning City, and even some small villages and towns further south, as well as small tribes that had not yet been banned. The resounding Bronze Star, with a smile on his face, offered olive branches to the hard-working farmers with giant feet.
