Chapter 335 Fortress Plan

It's not just a matter of self-improvement, it has to be something from the previous life.

But chopsticks are really cheap. You can make a lot of them with just two small wooden sticks and the scraps left over from making furniture.

Equipping slaves with spoons or forks is too costly and consumes far more manpower and material resources than chopsticks. Iron and silver tableware, not many people in the entire night can afford it.

"You guys follow Miss Scissors and learn to eat with chopsticks. Don't eat with your hands. It's not hygienic."

Field shouted at the slaves, but seeing how stupid they were, especially Shuangxue, who actually used chopsticks as teething sticks, Field shook his head in despair.

"Let them go, it's best if someone can learn from it. Regarding hygiene, don't eat Xiang directly. Long live it."

"Field, the almond biscuits you want were developed by Miss Wormwood."

Tisifa brought a delicate small disc with rough round cakes piled on it.

"Reward her with a silver coin. By the way, what do you think?" Field picked up a piece and threw it into his mouth. The biscuits contained a rich aroma and tasted very good. "The smelly goat's milk tastes a little bit better after being made into biscuits."

The newly made biscuits are ugly, but they use a lot of ingredients. Flour, butter, goat's milk and almonds are all expensive supplies.

After taking a bite like a lady, Tisifa said "hmm", her holy eyes sparkling.

"It tastes great. Is it a high-end dessert you've had before? I've never seen this kind of dessert."

"Not really."

Biscuits were first invented in Persia. Later, they were discontinued for various reasons and were not reinvented until the 19th century.

But this world has never heard of it.

"Let them study burgers, wraps and noodles as well. I've explained them all in great detail. It's not difficult. I'm a little tired of eating steak at the same time."

Field had the expression of a wealthy landowner: "My kitchen only has one cook, and including the student Absinthe, there are only two people cooking. How can this be enough? The territory has opened three places for kitchen helpers. It's time to give them to the people." Let’s get some benefits.”

One of the best jobs in the realm is to be a castle servant.

"Hmph, this is the first time I've heard that enjoyment is regarded as a benefit for the people."

Tisifa covered her mouth and kept laughing.

"I'm too lazy to explain to you. Just give me a shoulder squeeze. We'll go patrol the iron ore outpost in the evening."

"Okay, this time don't suddenly pull me and do something weird." Tisifa's face burned as she thought about her last experience, "You, how did you do this to your legs... Well, I don’t want to talk anymore.”

"Don't worry, I won't do anything to you in public."

But it's hard to say privately.

The slaves began to work, and Field enjoyed a massage with just enough strength on his shoulders. He couldn't help but sigh: No wonder so many people want to be landlords. This little life is really comfortable.

That night, Field took Tisifa and the guards, as well as a group of sixty laborers, to the iron ore outpost.

Even workers and soldiers must take regular breaks, otherwise their mentality may explode.

After marching for a day, Field heard an excited wolf howl before he even saw the iron ore outpost.

"grown ups!"

Asuna flanked the crowd and drove the giant wolf to charge towards them. The momentum of the attack almost frightened the slaves into disintegration.

Fortunately, Asheina knew the power of the dragon wolf and hurriedly braked midway. In the end, the dragon wolf stopped beside Field.

"Sir, you haven't come to me for so long."

Asheina lost all her previous calmness, threw herself into Field's arms noisily, and spoke with sticky saliva in a voice that only Field could hear.

"It must be severely punished, sir~"

"???"

Fieldton felt goosebumps running down his spine. He might have to stay here for half of his life today.

"No one is afraid of anyone. I'm a devil with strong muscles, and I'm not weak at all." Field's spirit of refusing to admit defeat came up, and he waved his hands invincibly, "I'm not afraid at all."

"That's very kind of you, sir."

Ashina swung her tail happily and got down to business: "The iron ore outpost is right in front. According to the drawings you gave me, I asked everyone to build a fortress with earth, and planned to build it in the style of a five-pointed star fortress."

After entering the fog-free range of the iron ore outpost, Field saw the building under construction.

A long trench blocked the direction of everyone's advance. The soil in the trench was made from local materials and built into an earth wall. The slaves kept wielding shovels and digging a second trench.

"This, moat? Sir, do you want to build a second castle?" Tisifa was shocked.

"To be precise, it is a defensive outpost. It will turn into a fortress and eventually a fortress. This will be a long process." Field said ambitiously. "We must urbanize vigorously and build a fortress on every important road." . The Iron Ore Fortress is located in the main road of Yunmu Territory and Nightshade Territory. It will be much safer if there is a fortress."

From the beginning, Field had no intention of using this place as a pure mining site.

"The Night Territory is not a paradise as imagined, but is in the land of four wars. The clouds and morning curtains around us, the Viscounty Territory to the north, and the Nightshade Territory are all carrion. To the south are the Maple Leaf and Bull Territories , the lords there are not even good people.”

In fact, the original Northern Province was the place where elves, orcs, dwarves and humans fought.

"Your Excellency, you are right. Ever since I was stationed here, I have clearly noticed that waves of corpses are constantly coming from the other two territories."

As a die-hard supporter of Field, Asheina immediately expressed her approval: "If a fortress is built, the main city of Starry Night will undoubtedly be much safer."

"That's right, and based on my looting experience, the fortress can effectively prevent enemy looting."

Tisifa held her forehead: "Well, you don't need to tell me this."

Entering the half-built iron ore outpost, Field immediately heard a small cheer.

"The Baron is here, it seems we have not been given up."

"Yes, yes, I thought I was exiled..."

"It almost choked me to death. Next time I come, I must bring some weeds. There is nothing here except gray and black."

As Field expected, workers here were already severely depressed.

The horrific environment and constant labor are torture for anyone.

"Everyone, listen, I will take you back to the big manor the day after tomorrow. The reward I promised you will not be less than a copper coin. The same is true for slaves. You will all get the rewards you deserve, and you will soon be able to leave your place of origin as slaves and go back to live a good life. Enjoy the fruits of your labor.”

Without saying a word, Field stood on a slope and announced to everyone.

"Yeah!"

Everyone couldn't bear it any longer, and many people started crying.

"Sir, I've worked hard too." Asheina tugged on the hem of Field's clothes and stuck out her cute little tongue, "I also want the fruits of my labor."
