Tales of the Reincarnated Lord Chapter 84: Kenmays Family plan

Chapter 84 Kenmays Family's plan

Lorist thinks that the wall in front of it is completely different from the wall you captured. The city wall that I seized was only four meters high, and was built up by random stones. The city wall in front of him is seven meters high, or a double wall. The wall inside is at least ten meters high. Even the surface of the city wall was covered with blue cement, smooth and flat.

On the wall Lorist, he discovered that the ten-meter-high wall he thought was just a row of houses built on the wall, except that the roof was changed to the zigzag pattern of the wall and connected to the wall. Some of these houses are equipped with ordnance, some are the guardian's dormitory, and there is a torn apart defensive city ballista in front of the house. This should be the one that was shot down by Joske.

Joske was already waiting on the city wall and saw Lorist busy welcoming.

Lorist said unpleasantly: "This time you are lucky, you will encounter Mercenary who is greedy for life and fear of death. If you are guarding the city walls by a regular defense team, you are not so cheap and do not hurt a person Takes down this wall. "

Joske smiled and said, "Lord(s) said ..."

"Also, I will not be allowed to pretend to hear you in the future, so I will lose face ..." Lorist continued to complain.

Joske Hehe laughed.

"By the way, what important thing did you find?" Lorist finally remembered his original intention.

Joske pointed to the front: "It's in the room in front, you can go and see, Lord(s)."

Joske refers to five large houses in the middle of the city wall that are two meters higher than the side. There are also several Imperial Guard members standing outside the house, watching over several captives.

The middle of the five houses is the largest, about six meters long, and the same width as the houses on the city walls, all three meters. Entering the door Lorist, you see a large row of wood-copper gears and a large wheel filled with the opposite wall.

"This is a device for lifting the iron fence?" Lorist asked.

Generally large cities or some wealthy Lord(s)s will install a heavy iron fence in the gates of the city gates. They will usually rise up. When the enemy destroys the city gates during the war, they will be put down to form new ones. Defensive barrier.

Joske nodded.

"Day, is that Viscount Kenmays showing that you have money? It cost so much to build such a luxurious defensive wall in a place where the birds can't lay eggs. If you want to block the traffic route to the outside from Norton Family, the price will Too big, what exactly does he want to do? "

"Lord(s), you turn around and the answer is on your right." Joske said.

Lorist turns around. On the right is a small suite with large and small maps hanging on the wall of the suite. In the middle is a large table with a large sand table and several castle models.

At a glance on the big sand table, there is a mountain city surrounded by mountains and rivers, surrounded by a farmland, not far from the mountain city is a mine, and a large area of ​​workshops is next to the mine. At the end of the mountain is a heavily guarded barracks castle.

"This sandbox is doing a good job. Where is this mountain city?" Lorist said.

Joske shook his head: "Lord(s), I don't know. What I want you to see is not the sand table, but the model of the castle next to it. I think it should be building a castle here."

Next to the big sand table is a model of a castle that has not yet been assembled, but the two walls, one behind the other and one short and one short, quickly made Lorist understand that it is now standing in front of the long wall in the model. on.

"Oh, this Viscount Kenmays really puts a lot of money ..." Lorist stomped: "Look, the floor covering and the outside of the city walls are all covered with green clay. Really want to build such a castle, This green clay alone costs at least tens of thousands of gold fordes. By the way, where has the beard gone? "

Clay is the first choice of Grindia Continent for building palaces and castles. Its effect is similar to that of Lorist's pre-cement. The composition is also very similar, all are lime, the clay is roasted into ash, and then added with fine sand and stirred. The difference is that the cement is cheap, the green cement is expensive, the cement is added with water, and the green cement is added with a glue.

Lorist's attendant Reidy comes from Romon Empire, there is a very famous mountain area, which is a forbidden area of ​​Romon Empire, and the trespassers die. Because this mountainous area is a well-known rubber rattan producing area on the mainland. It is said that the rubber rattan was originally not a plant of Grindia, but Magician(s) was transplanted from a secondary Planar World thousands of years ago. These plastic rattans are so wet and stout as big as wine barrels. When a saliva is cut on the surface, a light cyan juice will flow out.

This pale cyan juice looks like clear water, but as soon as it is heated, it will produce a large viscosity and it will be extremely hard after solidification. People use this glue rattan juice, add ten times of water, heat it, and then stir with lime clay spun yarn to become green clay. This is the best bonding material for Grindia building and the most expensive material. A barrel of 100 kg of Gum Cane Juice requires one gold fordes. For Romon Empire, there are hundreds of thousands to millions of gold fordes in sales of Gum Cane Juice every year.

In Grindia, people with no money buy a piece of earth dragon's skin to turn into a sticky material to build a house. Although it is strong, the house has a faint muddy smell, which is easy to attract mosquitoes. You need to brush lime water to spray insects Potion at intervals. . The second is a kind of black sticky rice, which is cooked into a gruel and then mixed with clay lime yarn. It is also a good building bonding material. Buildings made with just this bonding material are prone to mold during the rainy season and require frequent cleaning.

The best building bonding material is green clay, which is solid like a rock after solidification, and has a kind of fragrance, which can repel insects and ants. Lorist has been in Morante City for a long time, and there is a large consumer of Gum Cane Juice. Natural green clay is no stranger to it. This will also impress the Viscount Kenmays's masterpiece of building castles in Northern Land with green clay.

"Lord(s), Orville Keith took half of the Imperial Guard players out to catch people." Joske said.

"Catch people?"

"Well, it is the slave labor(er) who built the city wall. The surrendered Mercenary leader said that the production of green clay was not available during this time. The steward responsible for building the castle asked nearly 1,000 slaves labor(er) to collect lime and dig clay. He Taosha went. Orville Keith took someone to catch these slaves labor(er). "Jost explained.

Lorist I remembered that when I came here, I did not see the labor(er) that built the city. I used to go out to collect building materials.

"These captives are Mercenary hired? Call in the leader and ask him something." Lorist said.

The surrendered Mercenary boss was soon brought to the front of Lorist.

Lorist wants to ask about Norton Family.

I hired the leader of Mercenary and thought to answer: "Lord(s), I was hired by Viscount Kenmays Lord(s) for less than two months. But I heard that about six months ago, Viscount Kenmays Lord(s) sent troops to occupy the mine, and then went to attack Norton Family's manor castle. Dozens of people died, confronting them for more than half a month and returned without power. Then Lord Viscount started to build the city walls here. The city walls were just built when I was hired here. In these two months, I did not I've seen Norton Family come, and I haven't met any detectives of Norton Family when I sent out to patrol. When I transported supplies to the mine, I heard the Mercenary hired by the defense there, a few months ago, after Lord Viscount retired, People who have seen Norton Family, they found that the mine was occupied and left. Later, they have never heard of Norton Family. "

"Those who were in charge of the copper mine at Norton Family before, do you know their whereabouts?" Lorist asked.

The head of hiring Mercenary shook his head: "I'm not sure about this, but I think it should have been thrown into the mine by Lord Viscount for mining. Last month, more than one thousand pounds of copper ingots were shipped there. It's stored in the warehouse here. "

At this time, there was a noise, a Imperial Guard team member came in Reported and said that the bearded Orville Keith returned with the slave labor(er).

Lorist and Joske took a look at the city walls on the roof. A long snake-like labor(er) team was approaching the city gate. The Imperial Guard team member riding the high-profile Ma Yaowu Yangwei next to the team, the bearded Orville Keith walked in front.

It took more than half a day to settle the thousands of slaves labor(er). This is because these labor(er) slaves have been more obedient for a long time, and their original camp was still there when the city walls were built before.

Lorist has assembled Joske, Shadekampf, Patt, Reidy and Orville Keith, and is ready to discuss what to do next.

Shadekampf and Patt came over and saw the big sand table. This is the family's Territory, which is the terrain of the Morgen hills.

"Lord(s), you see, that mine is our copper mine, and here ..." Shadekampf pointed to the barracks castle at the lower corner of the sand table and said, "The location of this castle is where we are now. But there is no such place A mountain city, there is no such a large area of ​​farmland, it should be all forests, and this river channel is not ... "

Listening to Shadekampf, Lorist is intrigued, and instructs the bearded Orville Keith to bring the building Grand-master and the general manager who are responsible for building the castle.

The so-called building Grand-master is a middle-aged man in his forties. He bluntly acknowledged that the castle model came from his handwriting, but he refused to answer some of the castle details raised by Lorist. He also scolded Lorist for taking advantage of unprepared attacks. The despicable act of occupying his castle site requires Lorist to apologize and leave here immediately, otherwise all consequences will be borne by Lorist.

Lorist and everyone looked at each other, very doubtful whether the building Grand-master had a mental illness. In the end, Lorist was blamed by this middle-aged man for endless accusations: "You ran to the yard of my house to build a house for yourself. I came out as a master to stop it and became mine. Come, tie him to Fifty lashes on the flagpole outside to keep him awake.

Next is the general manager, Shadekampf and Patt recognize this old man with a goatee. He is the big housekeeper of Viscount Kenmays, named Boris. I have seen several times during the past due to copper mine disputes. I was unexpectedly appointed by Lord Viscount as the director of the castle.

Boris with a goatee is a coward. With the scream of a whip on the outside of the building Grand-master, he stood there trembling and asked questions. Soon the sandbox, the reasons for Viscount Kenmays's construction of the castle here, and the family history of Viscount, etc., were frank and clear.

Viscount Kenmays originated from businessman Aristocratic Family, his father was the former president of Krissen Empire's largest building Chamber of Commerce. During the civil war, his father took refuge in Second Prince, donated money and supplies, and became one of the Second Prince money bags. After Iberia Kingdom was established, Kenmays's father and Second Prince negotiated to make Viscount Kenmays become Territory Aristocrat(s) at the price of 200,000 gold fordes, and obtained Territory at Northern Land.

With Territory, Kenmays Family invested a lot of development funds to build manor castles and immigrant towns in the Red River Valley of Territory. As the former president of Chamber of Commerce, the largest building of Empire, Viscount Kenmays's father has a keen eye. He believes that Northern Land will have a long period of turmoil due to the ambition of Loggins Grand Duke(s) and the new Territory Aristocrat(s). Although Kenmays Family has Territory in Northern Land, it can be Red River Valley Manor Castle in Territory, there is no risk to rely on, and it is easy to fall when attacked. Therefore, Kenmays Family sent a large number of surveyors to conduct a large-scale survey of Territory and the surrounding areas. Finally, it was found that the Morgen Hills in Norton Family Territory connected to the Viscount Kenmays collar was the best choice for building a castle and laying a foundation of Kenmays Family for a century . In order to win the Morgen Hills, Kenmays Family bought the official responsible for the demarcation and demarcation and assigned the Norton Family copper mine location to Viscount Kenmays's Territory. This provokes a dispute with Norton Family, and intends to capture the Morgen Hills and build a castle while Norton Family is in trouble.

Boris, a goatee said that although this castle model has not been made and assembled, all the design drafts and renderings are readily available and placed under the table. After the completion of the castle, enough to accommodate 10,000 people, Kenmays Family will relocate here. As a base for its family, as long as there are 3,000 troops, even more than ten times the enemy can not capture the castle.

As for the mountain city on the sand table, Kenmays Family is a town that will be built after the castle is built. It can accommodate 50,000 to 60,000 people. It is mainly based on the development of copper mines, timber yards, quarries and other resources. After the forest next to the town is cleared in the future, the land will be leveled and the land will be reclaimed in conjunction with the wilderness. It is expected that hundreds of thousands of acres of farmland will be obtained. At that time, farms will be set up to construct water irrigation facilities. Even if Northern Land is cultivated once a year, it will be enough to ensure food supply.

In order to realize this grand development blueprint, Kenmays Family plans to invest 300,000 gold fordes, and spend five years to lay a century-old foundation for the family. I just didn't expect that Lorist came just after the plan started less than four months ago.

"Do you know how Kenmays Family is going to deal with Norton Family?" Lorist asked.

Steward Boris said: "Lord and Young Lord have discussed that they are not planning to destroy Norton Family, because Norton Family is at the top, which can be used to attract the attention of the mountain Barbarians Clan. The family can then develop in a stable and stable manner. Lord is also prepared to give Norton Family some support when necessary, so that Norton Family can resist the invasion of Mountain Barbarians Clan. Lord also said that he appreciates the force of Norton Family, and will probably make Norton Family a dependency of Kenmays. "

"Why did you send troops to attack the Norton Family manor castle that half a year ago?"

"That ’s because Young Lord heard that Norton Family's head Lord Norton Baron already died six months ago, so he sent someone to discuss with Norton Family. Could he sell the Morgen Hills to Kenmays Family? This would end the dispute between the two families. But the Young Lord faction The messenger who went was insulted by Norton Family. They tore up the Young Lord letter, saying that Territory of Norton Family would not be sold for an inch. Let us Young Lord don't make this idea and drive the messenger back. So Young Lord got angry and attacked Norton. The family castle just didn't come down. So Young Lord decided to start implementing the plan immediately. By the way, they can trap Norton Family in the north, and they will naturally ask Young Lord for mercy when they can't stand it. "Boris the goatee replied.

"Well, what's going on with that building Grand-master?" Lorist remembered the middle-aged man with a bad brain.

"Lord(s), Grandmaster Ciroba is Iberia Kingdom's most famous architectural art Grand-master! The roses palace he designed and built for Second Prince in the past two years has won unanimous praise, known as the genius art Grand-master for building miracles, and is well received by Second Prince This time, Lord spent a lot of money before asking this Grandmaster Ciroba to design castles and towns for Young Lord. Now that the design draft already is finished, he will leave here to return to the capital. Er, this Grandmaster Ciroba It is more arrogant. In Wangdu, he doesn't even look at the Duke(s) Marquis Lord(s) walking in the court. Lord(s) If he treats him with a leather whip, he will cause a lot of trouble. "Boris was very euphemistic. Said.

"Hehe ..." Lorist smiled. The building Grand-master really had a bad brain. Those Duke(s) Marquis who walked in the court did not look at them, because those were Aristocrat(s) and had no strength. In front of this Territory Aristocrat(s), he is so arrogant and rude, that is just asking for trouble.
