Chapter 302: The Unavoidable Church
Suren filled the Orlando Treasury with all the gold and mythril mined during this time into the storage space, and then gave a dozen barrels of vodka and rum to the gray dwarves as a reward.
The gray dwarves, who had long been salivating over vodka, cheered, and seeing this, Suren directly announced that a banquet would be held, and the drinks were enough. Hearing this, all the gray dwarves put down their work and began to prepare, in fact, there was no need to prepare much, as long as there was wine at the dwarven banquet.
The gray dwarves are still very satisfied with their current life, eighty percent of the minerals they mined in the past need to be handed over to the king, which is why Suren was able to win easily at the beginning, because the exploitation was too ruthless, otherwise the dwarves would have to fight to the end with a stinky temper like a stone.
Su Lun is now considering sending these gray dwarves to the blacksmith shop or the army, as for the mining matter, he is going to hand it over to the kobolds, before letting these gray dwarves mine because of the lack of ore production, now the ore production has gone up, and the production of weapons and equipment has not kept up, which is one of the reasons why Su Lun is here.
Kobold miners are extremely low compared to dwarf miners, they don't need wages, just take care of food, and of course kobolds' mining efficiency is much lower than that of gray dwarves, but these are also acceptable.
The banquet in Orlando was very lively, and the gray dwarves were not good babies, and after these guys drank alcohol, they almost demolished the banquet hall one by one. Fortunately, the vodka was very strong, and after making a fuss for a while, after the wine came up, they were all drunk and unconscious.
"What a bunch of thick lines. Suren put down his glass and shook his head, he had already made up his mind that he would never let these gray dwarves keep vigil or take on any guard work in the future.
It's just a banquet, and these gray dwarves don't even have a single guard left, all of them come to drink, and they all drink like this, if they run into enemies, they won't easily solve them all.
"My lord, the guards have been arranged. A drow elf came up and said.
"Thank you for your hard work. Su Lun nodded and said, these drow elves were specially called by Su Lun back to the north of the town.
After arranging the guards, Suren left Orlando with Mithril and Gold. When I returned to Zhenbei City, there were a few dark clouds floating in the sky, Zhenbei City is located in the north, and the rain is far less abundant than in the south, and it rarely rains heavily here. However, looking at the extent of this dark cloud, it seems that it is about to rain.
As soon as the thought came to mind, raindrops the size of beans fell? And then the sky is like a pot with a leaky bottom? Heavy rain poured down. In the face of this weather, it is natural that we can not continue to build? All construction sites were closed for rest.
Rains are delaying the construction period? Another problem also arose, as many of the houses where the displaced serfs lived had some slight water leaks. Is this also something that can't be helped? The level of technology in this era was limited, and those camps were built in a hurry? Don't plan to live long-term either? It's normal for rain to leak.
Fortunately, the thatched roof was not used at the beginning, otherwise it would have rained heavily outside and light rain inside the house. It's okay in the city, Suren had already asked for it when it was being built? All the houses are tiled? Although the cost is high, there will be no rain leakage.
The whole world seems to be hung with a curtain of water, and water soon appears on the ground, but fortunately, the drainage system in the north of the town is very good, and the rainwater flows out of the city through the drainage system? There are no major problems with the roads in the city, and part of the roads in the north of the town use stone roads? The other part is slate, although the stone pavement is not as good as the slate? However, after repeated tamping and extrusion, these gravel roads will not have a mud puddle under one foot.
When you were in the city of Karen in the south? What Suren hates the most is that it's raining? Because the city of Karon and other cities of this era are the same as birds? There are very few drainage canals in the city, and most of the roads are dirt roads, and when it rains, the whole city becomes a flood.
In addition, sewage flows in the city, and from time to time there are some dead rats or things suspected of excrement floating on the water surface. The best business in Karon is the sale of cloaks and boots.
Naturally, there is no such situation in Zhenbei City now, but there are also some troubles, more than 50,000 people live in the camp, the living conditions in the camp are not good, and now it is raining, these people are likely to get sick, these are the people brought by Sulun from all over the northern provinces, if there is an epidemic, it will be troublesome.
It's okay if you're strong, and there's a high probability that you can carry it, but if you're weak, it's not good. All the grassroots officials in Zhenbei City were dispatched to arrange food and hot water for those people, the climate in the northern wasteland was harsh, but fortunately, the effect of the harvest altar was improved, otherwise it would have made many people sick just because of the lack of adaptation to the water and soil.
There was some trouble after all without a priest, a bolt of lightning streaked across the sky, and the whole world was lit up, and it looked like it was an end of the world. The pouring rain is a whole day, and if it is a house made of wood and thatch, it is estimated that it will have become a funnel long ago.
At this time, the most popular place in the city is the tavern, the mercenaries of the caravan, the soldiers of Zhenbei City, and some people who have some spare money in their hands all go to the tavern to drink, and in this case there is no need to work.
"If the construction of the Wizard Tower is completed, with the help of the power of the Wizard Tower and the formation, the climate of the nearby area can be forcibly reversed. Seeing the heavy rain outside, Hathaway said with a frown.
Su Lun shook his head slightly, and reached out to hold Hathaway in his arms: "It's better not to cast this kind of magic that changes the celestial phenomena casually." ”
"There is a harvest altar, and although this rain is a bit heavy, it will not cause a flood, and with this heavy rain, the farmland will not need to be irrigated. ”
"And although there is no problem in forcibly reversing the weather for the time being, there are still side effects in the end. ”
Wizards' spells sometimes talk about the right time and place, such as the current environment, if you cast the flood spell, not only the consumption is low, but the power is also surprisingly large, and if you cast the fireball spell, the power is greatly reduced, not to mention, the difficulty of casting the spell has also increased, and many times wizards also pay attention to taking advantage of the trend.
Hathaway nodded, moved her body a little, and made herself more comfortable, "By the way, how are you going to deal with the church, when you officially establish the state, this question can no longer be avoided, those churches will definitely notice this, and they will definitely ask for a mission when the time comes." ”
"The influence of the gods must be controlled within a certain range, otherwise the kingdom of St. Ville is the best example of this. ”
Su Lun's expression became a little solemn: "I'll pay attention." ”
The kingdom of St. Vilc Suren also knows that this is a **** kingdom, and the whole kingdom believes in the sun god, in this country, the king must believe in the sun god to be eligible to inherit the throne, and the same coronation needs to go to the church in person, only if the church agrees, he is the legitimate king.
Even the people of this country are required to worship the sun god, and it can be said that the status of the clergy in this country is the highest, and the royal family and nobility can only be ranked behind. In addition to the various taxes that need to be paid in this country, there is also a tithe, that is, everyone is required to give one-tenth of their income to the church.
At the beginning, the Kingdom of Vilk was not like this, because when the founding of the country, the Church of the Sun God helped, so the Kingdom of Virk stipulated that only the Church of the Sun God was allowed to preach. At first, although the church was strong, it was still the king's word, but after some things, the church took power, and finally became the current kingdom of St. Vielke.
The operation of the original Sun God Church also aroused the vigilance of other kingdoms, although they did not dare to completely tear their faces with the church, but they also began to restrict the church, and at the same time, no country would limit the value of allowing a church to preach. This practice is also to keep the churches in check with each other.
The rainstorm stopped for a day, and there was no serious waterlogging in the north of the town, but it also exposed some problems, Su Lun has already let people go to modify, and the third phase of the project under construction has more problems, after all, the drainage system of the outer city has not been established, and the soil has been very soft for a day and a night, and it is impossible to carry out construction at all.
After the rain, Suren mobilized manpower to start repairing and cleaning the city, and at the same time repaired the damaged houses, after the rainstorm, the sky was clear, and there would be no more rainstorms in the northern wasteland for a period of time, the two rivers outside the city became turbulent, and some hydraulic machinery on the bank also had large and small problems, which also needed to be repaired.
Although there is a harvest altar here, the wind and rain are smooth here in Zhenbei City, but there are still a lot of troubles.
There are a lot of things to do in the construction of the city, but fortunately, it is no longer the time when there is nothing at the beginning, because of the problem of heavy rain, the construction of Zhenbei City was delayed for four days, and in order to speed up the construction period, Suren also joined in. On a whim, he used spells on worker slaves to speed up construction.
For example, to bless everyone with group acceleration to increase the speed of the worker's work, such as to bless the workers with the whole army to cheer up, boost morale, improve their strength and physical strength, and let the workers be in a state of excitement, reduce laziness, and improve their work efficiency.
It is estimated that after these spells were created, Suren was the first to bless the workers and slaves to let them work quickly. However, at present, the effect is still very good, the progress of the project has increased by one-third, of course, this also has side effects, that is, the food consumption has accelerated, after all, the energy is conserved, and the consumption of speeding up the action is large, and the natural more you eat.
Su Lun doesn't care about the consumption of food, now that the food in Zhenbei City is sufficient, it is still cost-effective to consume some food and speed up the progress.
