Lord of the Oasis Chapter 126: .The idea of forming a camel team
As smoke billows from the kitchen, the aroma of the food begins to permeate.
The ingredients that had been prepared last night were all processed in the kitchen at this time. The peasant women, who were as strong as men, were more careful, and the taste and texture were much stronger than before.
The entire Sentinel Oasis warmly welcomes this.
No one will refuse to be fine.
For example, the most commonly eaten bread and air-dried meat can be turned into well-loved delicacies in the hands of these peasant women.
Slice the bread and bake on low heat until golden on both sides.
The air-dried meat is torn into strips, and the roasted oil is slightly burnt.
After eating this delicious breakfast, there was no problem until noon, especially the light cavalry who went out to patrol the sand dunes. Every time they would come with a few more pieces of bread and dried meat. Can make do with a meal.
Includes new inventions from the last two days.
The wheat grains are boiled and become extra soft. Add crushed dates and sugar cubes.
Add 20 eggs and beat to form long and thin egg drop, and finally thicken with flour and water to form a thick soup.
Sweet egg drop oatmeal.
In just two days, this slightly sweet porridge is a hit with everyone.
There are even unique ways to eat.
Coat the baked brown and crispy bread with a layer of wheat porridge, bite it down, the slightly sweet soft and glutinous taste, mixed with the crispy taste of the bread, chew hard in the mouth, let the tongue absorb the sweetness He Jiaoxiang, and the salty and fragrant air-dried meat that is oily after roasting, this feeling is really wonderful.
Even if he's used to the expensive dishes at Lion's Castle, Kant praised this sweet egg drop oatmeal.
Of course...
As a lord, Kant's three meals are more abundant.
This is one of the privileges of being a lord and a high-ranking person. People from Calradia, who have a strong concept of class and hierarchy, take it for granted, and it is normal.
Being a superior and a vested interest.
Kant certainly wouldn't correct it either.
With 10 Swadian infantry, Kant routinely patrols his "Drehem" fortress.
This is his morning job.
But this routine is really a routine, usually just patrolling around the fortress. The civilians and soldiers who come to this world are usually very serious, driving the pioneering spirit, and they are not slack at all. .
Even the workers on the construction team are quite conscientious.
At least Kant never saw the slightest bit of slacking in his subjects.
The soldiers didn't let up.
"That's fine." Kant looked around, working as hard as he always did, nodding in satisfaction.
Return to the Consulate.
But found that Manid was already waiting in the hall.
Seeing Kant coming over, I hurriedly bowed to salute and said solemnly: "Lord Kant, I have successfully completed the task and returned, and bought a lot of tools, as well as some food and fur products to keep out the cold at night." /
"Yeah." Kant nodded and said in a reassuring tone, "I'm very relieved when you do things."
Manid salutes respectfully again: "Thank you for your trust."
Kant came to his place, while Manid reported: "This time I went to Stone Pass, Baron Dylan was the same, luckily the salt trade was going well, 20 bags of fine white salt, We made a profit of 1000 big silver coins, and at the same time I used 100 big silver coins to purchase 500 iron farm implements and 2 full cartloads of wheat.”
"We won't be short of farm tools in the future. Well done."
Kant nodded in satisfaction.
When the farmers were unloading their wagons this morning, he had already seen bundles of farm implements, including hoes, shovels, forks, and logging axes, all of which were made of iron, with prices at a low price of iron. North County is much more expensive.
But the Sentinel Oasis is useful. After all, farmers are mostly refugees, and they don't take much with them when fleeing.
Manid continues to recount his journey to Stone Pass.
Kant also interjected and asked: "I didn't see feather arrows and crossbow arrows on the carriage." After a pause, Kant squinted slightly, and said sarcastically, "Could it be that my Uncle Dylan did not agree with my letter This little request mentioned to him?"
"Yes, he rejected the idea of procuring large quantities of feather and crossbow arrows."
Manid shrugged: "Actually, the procurement process for these farm tools is somewhat difficult. The Lord Baron's meaning is very subtle. If it wasn't for the fact that I shoved 10 extra large silver coins as rebates for the merchants who provided the farm tools, there would be no need for me. It's impossible to buy so many farm tools, after all, you know, if you melt these farm tools, they can be turned into weapons."
"Like the inferior products used by the conscripted peasants in the Stone Pass?" Kant couldn't help sneering: "Just kidding."
Back to Calradia.
Has an upgrade system for the entire kingdom of Swadia, as well as support from 4 other kingdoms.
Would Kant need these inferior weapons?
Not at all possible!
But Kant really knew exactly what Baron Dylan was planning. He was afraid that after the Sentinel Oasis had obtained so many farm tools, it might be smelted into weapons, which might have a partial impact on his plans in the future.
Kant proposed that the idea of purchasing a large number of feather arrows and crossbow arrows was also rejected for this reason.
"But I think we may be able to purchase these supplies in the future."
Manid shrugged, his tone was calm: "At present, we both have no minimum trust."
"Trust?" Kant's mouth curled slightly: "With those guys, this thing never existed."
"But there must be," Manid added.
Shaking his head slightly, Manid continued: "Benefits are the best foundation to ensure trust. When we let Baron Dylan rely more and more on the benefits brought by the salt trade, trust was born."
Kant shook his head and chuckled: "It is estimated that it will be time to attack us."
This is true, and also in line with his understanding of Baron Dylan.
He and Manid couldn't help but laugh at this.
If he really starts, then the Baron Dylan will understand how vulnerable the army without logistical supplies is in the desert of Naron, and it will collapse into a pile of desert in just a few days. The most common yellow sand.
The 7-meter-high city wall houses nearly 600 soldiers and civilians.
Defending this fortress is a piece of cake.
Humans are not gnolls, they can withstand hunger, thirst and heat, and the conquest of the Sentinel Oasis by the Principality of Lions 10 years ago has proved this. Tens of thousands of logistical supplies, even low-level gnolls who have no armor or weapons and only know how to charge in a mess can't take them.
The harsh natural environment did not allow the original lion principality to maintain its expedition for too long.
In less than a month, he fully retreated from the Sentinel Oasis and withdrew from the Nalen Desert. Instead, he conferred Dylan on the Stone Pass, which was the logistics supply center at that time, and promoted him as a baron, responsible for guarding this important pass. .
"Recently took a break."
Kant arranged for Manid: "Continue to visit the Stone Pass at the end of the month. At that time, I will let you bring more fine white salt. After all, there are only 20 bags, even those nobles and knights in North County can't satisfy it. ."
Manid nodded and said, "Understood." However, he still suggested to Kant: "Sir, we must increase the scale of trade, especially at present, our three carriages are simply not enough to transport too much. Goods, although this trade is profitable enough, we want to buy some materials back, but it seems too little."
"This question." Kant frowned and instructed the businessman he trusted most: "You are responsible for handling it, buy some carriages and horses, and you can transport the purchased materials back."
"Okay." Manid nodded.
But Kant pondered a little, and of course he understood that relying solely on carriages and horses was not the best solution.
The soft desert is not suitable for this kind of plain vehicle.
When Kant and the carriage came to the Sentinel Oasis, they encountered some dunes that were difficult to pass through. They had to let the peasants push the wooden wheels. Otherwise, the soft desert would not be able to bear the strength at all. Couldn't pull up the wagon full of goods.
The best solution, of course, is to form a camel team.
The history of the earth has proved that the camel team composed of dromedary is fully capable of serving as a vehicle for crossing the desert.
It's just that Kant's dromedary is only 10.
Compared to the scale of the camel city formed by hundreds of camels in a company or even thousands of camels, it is pitiful, which is why Kant did not use these 10 camels as trade vehicles.
The amount of cargo that 10 camels can carry is too little.
Compared to the carriage, this is the disadvantage.
"Stabilize Sentinel Oasis first."
Kant shook his head, not thinking about the question further.
There are no dromedary camels in this world. There are also creatures similar to camels, and Kant has never seen them in books in this world, or in various travel notes~IndoMTL.com~ This means that I want to form The camel team, apart from relying on the system, has no way at all.
But if given the chance, Kant would definitely form a camel team.
With this camel team to form a transport team, it may not be a big problem to cross the cruel devil zone of the jackal population. As for the 30-day journey to the coast of Mannheim, there is also a chance to extend the tentacles. .
Kant's eyes showed a bit of coldness: "The most important thing is the gnolls of the Greymane Kingdom."
Victory and he will gain new qualifications.
That is to step into a new world, the world north of the Narun Desert!
