Chapter 163 A Letter from Snow Deer Territory
No matter where.
As long as individuals have independent thoughts, there will inevitably be contradictions and disputes.
Even animals fight each other for reproduction or food, let alone humans who have different intentions.
From family members to blood relatives.
From nationalities and races to other large groups.
These are all absolutely unavoidable.
Before Richard's time travel, many countries on Earth were embroiled in war.
However, he was lucky; the place where he was born was powerful enough to allow him to watch from the sidelines and be a bystander.
Influenced by this atmosphere, he only wanted to manage his own little world and did not want to have any conflicts with anyone.
Having finally become a noble lord, how fun it would be to flirt with Wendy every day, tease the maids, walk the birds, play with the dogs, and go fishing.
If the Holy See hadn't been so foolish as to label Freya a heretic, Richard wouldn't have had any issues with them.
Perhaps, in order to make money, we can even design some practical tools for them.
for example...
-- An integrated cremation rack that is beautiful, durable, smoke-removing, automatically collects ashes, and finally directly puts them into a jar.
Or design some sexy long dresses for young goddesses with high side slits and deep V-necks in the front.
When he preaches, he bends over, and he's guaranteed to bewitch those male lambs.
Not only do they obediently donate money and goods, but they also willingly throw themselves into the goddess's magnificent embrace, vigorously boosting their evangelistic achievements.
Based on this idea.
Richard had no intention of exploring the place that was suspected to be an ancient dwarven site.
What if, like in the novels, digging up the ruins awakens a sleeping, powerful dwarf, or violates their racial taboos?
This is just an unnecessary enemy coming out of nowhere; it's purely a case of having nothing better to do.
It's better to avoid trouble. Let these relics rot at the bottom of the water and continue to be washed away by the river of time.
As for whether the ruins contain any ancient treasures or lost technologies from antiquity...
Forget it...
With the system around, as long as you develop peacefully and steadily, you'll have everything you need in the future. Who cares about its meager old benefits?
Excuse me.
I have plenty of long legs that you can touch!
then.
Richard planned to mobilize a group of serfs and hard-shelled flying insects to transport earth from the ground.
Completely fill in the space of the twentieth level of the mine shaft, leaving only the stairs and passageways between the upper and lower levels.
Although it is a huge project that will take time to work out, it is imperative to do it.
Karl was puzzled by this move, but the lord had opened up the mining world, and he had his reasons for doing so.
So he didn't ask any questions, but before leaving, he glanced back at the dark pool with lingering fear...
...
...
After dealing with this matter.
Richard felt relieved and decided to pretend that the twentieth floor never existed before returning to the lord's manor for lunch.
As for the broken brick, he found a wooden frame base and placed it on the bookshelf in his study as an antique.
They ate and drank their fill.
I leaned back in the thick chair and closed my eyes to rest for a while before getting up and standing by the window, looking at the fields in the distance.
...
The former eleven acres of farmland are now sandwiched between the lord's mansion wall and the southern city wall of the inner city.
If outsiders want to come in.
You have to enter the inner city first, then go around the castle area before you can see the fields; the seclusion is incredibly good.
But eleven acres is too little. Richard plans to expand to fifty acres. The main reason for expanding so much is to consider a problem.
-- Stockpiling grain.
The previous planting scale was all aimed at ensuring that there was enough food to feed everyone without any surplus.
Otherwise there's nowhere to put it.
Now, under Richard's instructions, the second and third levels of the mine have been cleaned up and stone floors have been laid, making them suitable for large-scale food storage.
Winters in the North are long and bitterly cold, with almost nothing growing. Food for the entire winter is stored up during the summer and autumn.
People need to eat.
Monsters need to eat.
Livestock also need to eat.
After a while, the soldiers' families will move in, and thousands more stomachs will need to be filled with a lot of wheat.
and so.
Fifty acres isn't enough. Once the inner city is built, we'll have to move more land to expand to five hundred acres to meet our winter needs.
of course.
They mainly stockpile summer-limited crops and fruits.
For example, watermelon.
You can't plant them after summer.
But what if Mr. Richard wants to drink watermelon juice in winter? He can't wait until next summer, can he?
Don't make trouble.
He already had to wait for the strawberries, and he didn't want the watermelon to have to wait too.
The scale of planting was relatively small, resulting in the complete loss of all the spring-limited parsnip; they were all eaten.
Now is the time to stock up on seasonal ingredients during the summer and have the artisans process them into all sorts of artisan foods.
Watermelon, blueberries, star fruit, etc. can be made into juice or jam, while cucumber, radish, turnip, etc. are pickled into sauerkraut.
And most importantly...
──Ale!
No matter how much you stock up on this, you won't have to worry about running out!
...
It has the support of a system.
As long as it is stored properly and the temperature is carefully monitored, the shelf life is not an issue, and the taste and flavor will easily surpass similar inferior products from other regions.
At that time...
The ordinary quality ones are sold.
Silver Star packages itself as a high-end luxury product and sells it at a low price to allies or their friends and family, which allows for multi-channel distribution and also allows them to make some money.
Just like my third brother.
There was a blacksmith shop in the capital, which was a natural distribution point that could quickly help Chiffon open up sales channels in the capital.
The Venus ones are exclusively for Chiffon citizens to purchase, while the Iridium ones are definitely reserved for Chiffon Castle and its soldiers.
...
However, with so much more farmland added, Wade, Aaron, and Ted alone certainly wouldn't be able to manage it all.
Richard simply transferred seven people from the breeding and harvesting teams to make up a total of ten people, and officially established the agricultural planting team.
Thirty-nine mu of farmland were transformed.
A total of 259 gold and 74 silver were consumed.
After securing the farmland, Richard transformed a future urban park site in the outer city into a 100-acre garden.
This park is not large, unlike the ecological park that covers an area of more than ten square kilometers.
The city park is mainly composed of flowers, grass and greenery, and primarily provides residents in the outer urban areas with a nearby place for leisure and wellness.
of course.
Building a city park now is also premature; the 100 acres of farmland being transformed are intended for planting trees.
Trees can mature in eighteen days.
It can produce a large amount of wood for the construction of outer city areas, and can also stockpile the millions of wood needed for [grand buildings] in advance. It can also collect oak resin, pine tar, and maple syrup.
When the park is built in the future, we can simply replant flowers and grass on the original site and move the trees and fields elsewhere, killing two birds with one stone.
Transform 100 acres of farmland.
It cost a lot of money.
A total of 666 gold was consumed.
Current remaining:
--9443 gold, 15 silver, and 55 copper.
...
After arranging things at the farmland, Richard had just returned to the lord's manor and was about to visit Wendy when the castle guards rushed over to report.
The caravan from the Ferret Merchant Guild has arrived, bringing many dogs, three to five of each kind.
Shepherds, Saint Bernards, Maltese, Dobermans, Greyhounds, Rottweilers, Golden Retrievers, Pugs, etc.
Upon hearing the report.
Richard's eyes lit up.
So many!?
I mentioned it to Oscar before, just asking him to send over a few, but I didn't expect him to be so thoughtful and find a whole bunch of breeds.
Not bad.
Playing with cats and dogs is a common hobby among nobles, and many other lords also keep them, making them relatively easy to collect.
Richard was overjoyed to see all sorts of dogs of different sizes, but he didn't immediately start petting them.
Same as always.
Let Susan sign the contract first, then take them all to be cleaned, otherwise they will have a very unpleasant smell.
They became much more obedient after the contract was signed.
Don't worry about them pooping everywhere or attacking other small animals in the mansion; they can coexist harmoniously.
Nowadays, all small animals, including birds, defecate in the corner outside the wall, which is then taken away and disposed of by the serfs.
Richard was in a great mood and had Lina throw a few silver coins at the merchant guild's guards as a reward.
The merchant's guards were overjoyed.
After accepting the letter, he bowed repeatedly and handed over two letters with a fawning expression before leaving the lord's hall.
A letter from Lord Snow Deer.
A letter from Lucy, my little sweetheart.
