From pioneer lord to king

Chapter 120 Great Construction and Reunion (4K)

In his previous life, Ryan also used his winter and summer vacations to work hard on construction sites, mixing cement with his hands.

Under the puzzled and puzzled eyes of De Lai and others, Ryan dug a hole in the cement piled on the open space and explained: "This thing is called cement, and it is a building material. Mix it with a certain amount of water Mixed and stirred, the hardness after drying is comparable to that of stone.

If materials such as stones and river sand are added, its hardness can be raised to a higher level. It is extremely hard. It can be used not only as an adhesive, but also for paving roads and building houses. It has many uses. "

"Although it was fired from limestone, it has already been turned into powder, and it can still have the hardness comparable to stone? It's unlikely."

Drey looked left and right at the pile of cement, and couldn't imagine, how could this thing be as hard as a rock?
"Is it okay if you try it?" Ryan smiled slightly, and began to add water to the cement pile like a crater.

After full stirring, the air bubbles were exhausted as much as possible, and finally it turned into a mass of plaster. De Lai shook his head. It took so long and so much manpower and material resources to get it all together?
Ryan ignored De Lai, who looked constipated, and filled the stirred cement into a wooden box, intending to make it into a cement block and test the hardness.

The original cement solidifies slowly, often taking more than half a week, and frequent watering is required during this process.

Since listening to Ryan's words, De Lai has been running there from time to time, and restlessly poked a few holes in it with his fingers, and found that it was indeed slowly hardening, so he couldn't help but believe it.

After the cement block was almost solidified, De Lai volunteered to test the hardness. He swung a big hammer and smashed it hard. The fragments flew for a while, and a small hole was smashed out of the cement block.

Dreyer's eyes widened in surprise. He was very aware of his strength. The ordinary rocks must have been torn apart by this blow. He didn't expect that this pile of solidified powder would not turn into a stone as he expected. A pile of debris.

"This...is it really made of powder from limestone? This is a big stone, right?"

Hans on the side was also very surprised. He didn't see Ryan stirring the cement with his own eyes, so he couldn't believe it at the moment.

"Compared to the hardness of bluestone, if it is made into concrete, the strength will be higher, but its advantages are obvious. With it, we can quickly build a fortress here. Defense against ordinary monsters is not a problem at all."

Ryan patted the cement block, and was quite satisfied in his heart. With it, he could finally get rid of the evil mud road.

Gathering a group of workers together, Ryan personally told them how to mix the cement, how to use it, precautions, etc.

In particular, it is emphasized that the cement should be kept dry, the lime should not touch the water, and the eyes should be protected.

Master Ryan taught the class in person, and they didn't even dare to breathe, and they didn't even blink their eyes, for fear of missing something and making mistakes during construction.

…………

After explaining everything clearly, Ryan finally planned to return, but the person who was stationed here became a problem. After all, this place is in the Warcraft Mountains, and it must have extraordinary power to sit here.

Ryan and Xiyue don't need to think about it, so the candidates can only be chosen from De Lai and Hans. After several choices, he finally chose De Lai to lead [-] soldiers and [-] civilian husbands to station here.

This is also considering that Hans has just made great achievements, so he should take a rest. He should wait for a period of time and then rotate. It happens that he can regularly encircle and suppress low-level monsters and train the army.

No matter how good the training is, it is not as good as the actual combat effect.

In order to facilitate contact and deal with emergencies, Xiyue left a letter bird there to maintain communication.After this time, the two letter birds have been completely tamed by her.

……

When Ryan returned to Manchester City again, it was already half a month later.

In less than a month, it will be the season of rice planting. The leaders seen along the way have already started cutting down the green cane that has encroached on the land under the leadership of the village head and town head.

During this time, Hevian also managed the territory in an orderly manner, and offered a price of one copper per pound of green cane to buy back the land cut by the generals, and further expanded the sugar mill.

He is now the second-in-command of Manchester City, and Ryan did not hide it from him. After taking over the government affairs department, he had already told the secret of sugar extraction.

The major construction and spring plowing preparations are in full swing, and Ryan also feels that he is busy again. Spring plowing is the top priority, so we can't be sloppy.

Although supervised by officials, he still traveled to various small towns from time to time.

The leaders who were busy in the fields at that time could often see the Lord Ryan they admired squatting by the field with one or two entourages, watching them work.

Of course, Ryan is not idle. He was also the son of a farmer in his previous life. He is not proficient in farming, but he is not a so-called "city man". He is observing the farming methods and levels of this world.

Generally speaking, there is not much difference from the previous life, but there is no mechanical help, and there are not many cattle and iron farm tools, resulting in relatively low efficiency.

Looking at the sweating farmers in the fields, Ryan began to think about what tools could improve their farming efficiency. Unfortunately, although he knew a lot of modern agricultural equipment, none of them could be used now. After all, he couldn't even get electricity.

"Do you elves have any way to increase food production?"

After thinking hard to no avail, he finally threw the question to the bored Xiyue, who seemed to have nothing to do except help him tame the wildebeest recently.

"Us? It's very simple, just use extraordinary power directly."

Xiyue glanced at him, and said as a matter of course.

Ryan: "..."

"Tell me something I can use."

"Hmm... If you humans want to increase food production, you usually use the divine power of the Harvest Goddess. You just need to invite the priests of the Harvest Church to bless the land.

Of course, alchemy potions can also be used to increase production, but the cost is much higher than hiring priests. "

As for how long she lived, although Xiyue herself didn't know anything about farming, she knew it quite well.

Ryan rubbed the center of his brows with a headache. She seemed to have given a lot of solutions, but she seemed to be talking nonsense.

The distribution of the Church of the Harvest Goddess is far less than that of the Church of the Holy Light. At least as far as Ryan knows, there is no Church of the Goddess of Harvest in Linton County. There are quite a few pan-believers. Almost all farmers believe in the Goddess of Harvest.

Not to mention alchemy potions. Alchemists are a rare species, and Liman is half of them, but there are only a few types of potions that can be prepared.

"Hey, I still think about how to start with the fertilizer."

Ryan stood up, and walked away with his hands behind his back.

Just when he was thinking about how to increase production, a large team entered Karna's territory...

When seeing this team of hundreds of people, the officers defending the city were very confused, especially when they saw that the opponent was still armed and flying the Black family flag.

A young man on a tall horse got off his horse and said to him in an excited tone, "Hey, sir, go and tell the baron that the lady and lady are here."

When the guarding officer was a little uncertain, he put a big hand on his shoulder. When he looked back, it turned out that it was Alan, the deputy army commander. He was relieved and didn't have to ask for instructions.

Allen was patrolling the city wall just now, and saw the Hawkeye flag of the Black family raised high from a distance.

He knew that Ryan's mother and sister would come to the territory during this time, so he couldn't understand that they had arrived when they saw this, so he hurried down to greet them.

He also stayed at Black's house for a while, and had never seen the young man in front of him, so he couldn't help saying: "I am the Cavalier Commander, Alan Davis. May I ask Mrs. Kerinman and Susan?" Is the lady here?"

"Are you Knight Allen? Hey, I've heard of you. My name is Levi's Clinton, an apprentice knight, and my mentor is Sterling Nord."

The young man looked a bit lively, and his tone of voice was also very cheerful. No matter from which angle, he was a handsome guy.

Apprentice knight is a general term for formally embarking on the road of knight training. It is just the beginning of fighting qi, and it is not a real knight. He has to go through the ghost gate of junior knight.

"Happy to meet."

Allen nodded, but turned his eyes to the team not far away. Sure enough, he found Sterling next to a carriage. He knew that this was Ryan's swordsmanship instructor, and he seemed to think that their identities were no problem.

At this time, a small head poked out from the window of the carriage and waved at Allen.

Allen showed a smile, walked quickly to the carriage, and said respectfully: "I have seen Mrs. and Miss. You have worked hard all the way. Your arrival will definitely make Lei very excited. Please allow me to lead the way into the city."

Susan has a lively personality, and she smiled and said to Alan, "Susan wants to surprise my brother."

Kailinman, who was sitting in the carriage, also lifted the curtain, and said with a trace of fatigue: "Then I am very grateful to Mr. Allen, the people we are traveling with are already very tired, and I hope that we can arrange a place for them to rest as soon as possible .”

"Don't worry, ma'am, they are all the families of the soldiers. Ray has already arranged a place for them to live." Allen smiled slightly, knowing that they were coming, Ryan had already ordered Hevian to vacate a place in the south of the city. They are all their own people, so naturally they can't treat them badly.

Allen greeted Sterling and the old butler Deman again, and then led the team into the city mightily.

During the time they were talking, someone had already notified Ryan. When he heard the news, he didn't even care about his image. He rode his horse and galloped to the north of the city.

When he arrived, the team was only halfway there. Looking at the familiar and friendly faces, Ryan got off his horse and said happily: "Teacher, Butler Deman, it's great that you can come safely."

"Thanks to Mr. Sterling along the way, otherwise we would have been in a bit of trouble."

Kailinman got down from the carriage, looked at Ryan with a smile, and saw the extra temperament of a superior in her son, she was very happy from the bottom of her heart, this is what a nobleman should look like.

"Mother, son..."

Ryan was about to meet his mother, when a small figure rushed from the carriage into his arms at an extremely fast speed, rubbing his head vigorously.

Fortunately, Ryan restrained his fighting spirit in time, otherwise he might be injured if he bumped into him so recklessly.

"Susan, do you miss your brother?"

Rubbing that little head dotingly, he asked happily.

"Huh, my brother is a big villain. It took me so long to send a letter back. I don't miss you."

Susan raised her head arrogantly, and looked at Ryan angrily, but her hand holding him was not loose at all, a typical late-stage patient with a hard mouth.

"Okay, Susan, let's go back and talk about it. This is on the street." Kailinman smiled and watched the two siblings bond, and the family was finally reunited.

"Hmph, I'll forgive you this time." Susan shook her head and returned to the carriage like a proud white swan.

It's really not good to have so many people stuck on the main road, and they are tired from the journey, so they should rest as soon as possible.

He arranged for a few soldiers to lead the people behind to the residential area divided in the south of the city. Only then did he realize that there were dozens of simple carriages in this team. Looking at the ruts left by the wheels on the dirt road, they were obviously loaded with things. Woolen cloth.

Seeing that Kailinman didn't mean to say anything for the time being, Ryan didn't ask any more questions, and led them to the castle with Alan himself, and sent someone to arrange the huge carriage. Then he asked, "Mother, what are the carriages in these carriages?" yes?"

"It contains the aid materials His Majesty the King gave you. His Majesty gave us one hundred experienced craftsmen, and three thousand Kindler's material exchange quota.

I don't know what you want, but I listened to Mr. Sterling's advice and exchanged a hundred sets of armor, as well as a large number of crossbows and weapons. "

Ryan glanced at Sterling, who was standing silently behind, in surprise, and said happily: "The mentor's choice is correct, these are indeed things I urgently need now."

Whether it's armor or crossbows, they are extremely time-consuming and labor-intensive. The Karna collar can't be produced at all now, and this batch of equipment came at the right time.

"Besides that, the most important thing is the resources obtained by selling territories and kingdoms. In addition to a large amount of cash and more than 100 craftsmen, there are also many blueprints, magic crystals and other things you need."

Ryan stopped when he heard the words, looked at Kailin Mann with some expectation, and said, "Then the sound pass ball I want?"

"I also exchanged for a set, which is expensive." Kailinman nodded. In order to exchange for this item, she found a lot of contacts and paid a lot of benefits.

"Price is not a problem, the value it can play is the most important thing." Ryan shook his head nonchalantly, this thing is the guarantee of long-distance communication.

"In addition to this, a design drawing of the ballista was changed. Mr. Sterling said that this is very important to you."
