Chapter 425 Mill
The orcs and dwarves were in a stalemate outside Moria, and the dwarf reinforcements could not find a fighter plane to enter the battlefield. The entire battlefield was strangely stalemate, and both sides were waiting for variables that could change the situation.
…
"The orcs and dwarves are going to shed their last drop of blood outside Moria..." Yun Feng looked at the battle report and shook his head with emotion.
"Correction, it's a dwarf! The blood of the orcs can be drained right now. I will perform a handstand to wash my hair!" Roland said disdainfully. The orcs' vitality is like Xiaoqiang. This is the fifth era when humans are in charge. , these things are still firmly entrenched in Middle-earth, with this level of tenacity, a mere war? Not to mention letting the orcs bleed dry, it would be difficult to even move their muscles and bones...
The annihilation of eight thousand troops is a disaster for any intelligent race, but for the orcs, it is only a fatal injury! Why bother?
"Uh..." Yun Feng blinked and had to admit that what Roland said made sense. If you want these half-orcs who are more fertile than pigs, you'd have to go to Mordor to kill them, right?
It's a pity that Roland didn't know what Yun Feng was thinking. If he knew, he would probably laugh again. After all, didn't Aragorn still fight his way into Mordor? Mount Doom was demolished by Frodo, and the orcs were not affected in any way. Even if they were given some food, they would still have a litter.
"By the way, has our mill been built?" Roland asked quickly as if he remembered something.
After all, the kingdom's food harvest is huge this time. Roland uses the system to purchase and supply food for the army, but ordinary residents need to be self-sufficient in food. Of course, this year is a bumper harvest year, and the people can live a good life for a year, but from wheat to flour The process is quite complicated. At least a stone mill is needed to complete the grinding process. As for the shelling and other things in the front... Ordinary people don't care about these things. For the common people, brown bread with bran is considered good. It is a good thing, but the chaff that is difficult for the nobles to swallow is a delicacy that ordinary people can't hope for... Therefore, it is necessary to build a mill.
Therefore, Roland, who was concerned about the people's livelihood and suffering, personally presided over the construction of a large-scale water-powered animal-powered mill by the rushing river outside the west of the city. If this mill was put into use, if nothing else, at least it would be able to produce a thousand bags of flour per day.
"It should be fine..." Yun Feng was stunned. He really had never paid attention to such a trivial matter. For His Excellency Yun Feng, who is like the prime minister of a country, he has no time to care about the lives of these bastards all day long. Whether it is convenient or not, for him, as long as the lives and property of citizens are protected, then the kingdom has fulfilled its obligations. In other words, Roland, who came from Earth, was incompatible with the nobles of this era.
"Without a mill, the common people would have to rely on stone mills to grind wheat until the end of the year?" Roland's face turned dark. If he didn't ask about this matter, no one would care about it, right? I have already lowered the status of civilians low enough, but I didn’t expect that in this era, the status would be even lower...
"..." Yun Feng's eyes twitched. His king was really different from other nobles. His focus was always different from other nobles. While other nobles were still thinking about how to hunt, his king's mind was filled with the suffering of the people... …No matter how you look at it, it doesn’t match the king of this era.
"I'll go ask!" Yun Feng stood up and said. After all, Roland had already spoken, so it would be disrespectful for him not to express his opinions.
After Yun Feng went out, he grabbed a few clerks and asked them. For a sixth-level wise man, it was just a few flickering or flashing questions as long as he thought about them.
…
"Your Highness, the mill has been built and has been put into use for a few days." Yun Feng flashed back and said to Roland.
"Let's go and have a look!" Roland became interested. After all, Roland, who had lived in the "Steel Forest" before, had never seen such an idyllic object, although the size might be a bit big...
However, Yun Feng did not refuse. After all, Roland's request was not excessive. The king had the right to patrol his own territory. As long as there was no problem with safety, Yun Feng would not interfere in other aspects.
…
"You want to go out?" Nyx looked at Roland in surprise, obviously more surprised. Before Roland could speak, Nyx's brows were already frowning, but soon Nyx tried his best to put away the scowl on his face, and just silently arranged the silk lining of the armor for Roland.
"Come back safely." Nyx's voice was not loud, but it was unusually warm.
Only then did Roland realize that he might have misunderstood his wife. Nyx might have mistakenly thought that Roland was involved in the bloody battle between dwarves and orcs after all, so he looked sad after hearing the news that Roland was leaving.
"Silly girl, you are thinking too much... I will go to the Jiliu River outside the city to see the mill. The people still need to eat. You can't just grab the wheat with the shell and eat it..." Roland explained quickly. If he didn't explain, he would probably be there. I can cry after I leave.
"Well..." Nyx immediately showed a surprised expression upon hearing this, and then as if he thought of something, pink fists fell like raindrops on Roland.
"Do you want to go together?" Roland didn't care about Nyx's venting behavior and picked her up and asked.
"...Yes!" Nyx blushed, and finally gave in. After all, he would feel at ease as long as he saw this man, no matter where he was.
…
"I'm going to...Caslow! Just go out and make such a big fuss?" Roland suddenly felt a toothache when he looked at the fully armed knights in front of him. This Caslow should really be criticized. Is it a waste of people and money? no? How much does it cost for the Knights to move? Not to mention other things, the maintenance of fodder, war horses and equipment is enough for an ordinary Lord to work in vain for a year.
"Isn't this for safety..." Kaslo shrugged. Compared with spending some financial resources, Roland's safety was the top priority.
Roland shook his head and did not continue to speak. Forget it, let's leave it at that. Anyway, he had nothing to do to support his appearance. The royal guards were sent out to accompany the caravan, leaving only these knights to maintain the glory of the kingdom.
…
"Come, is this thing easy to use?" Roland, who came outside the mill, saw a group of civilians pushing carts or carrying bags, and grabbed a person and asked.
"Of course, it must be easy to use! It's much easier to use than that stone roller. I have to thank the kind... Your Highness? Meet Your Highness!" The man carrying the sack felt something wrong as he said it, and turned his head to look. Roland and his party were riding on tall horses.
