In the days that followed, thanks to Rafa's meticulous care of several soldiers suffering from sepsis, the complexion of these self-righteous outcasts quickly improved, their sallow faces regained their radiance, and their weakened bodies gradually regained their strength.

In the end, the five or six soldiers performed a horse battle in front of the entire Order and many of the inhabitants who were watching the excitement, after which everyone wavered slightly from the words of the Church, and the Knight Commander Cono directly stated that he no longer believed in the existence of the curse.

"Your Highness, did you use the Church's tribute to exorcise the curse?" asked a native of Icefields City, who was a little closer to Rafah.

Hearing this, Rafa knew that it would take a long time to completely dispel the fallacies that the Church had spread among the people.

"Wrong!" he felt the need to tell everyone about the question.

He came to the middle of the field and tried to open his throat as much as he could, "The curse doesn't exist at all! I didn't use any church to cure these soldiers, simply because it was just a very simple disease, even so simple that it could be cured with vegetables!"

After Rafa's remarks, the supply of vegetables throughout Icefield City quickly became tight, and since winter had already arrived, vegetable production had decreased, which made vegetables in the entire Icefield City a scarce resource.

Although it is true that eating more vegetables can prevent sepsis, Rafa is angry after learning that the reason why people eat more vegetables is to ward off the curse.

However, the problem of scarcity of fresh vegetables still needs to be solved, if you don't eat vegetables for a whole winter, the chance of suffering from sepsis will be greatly increased, and there may be some ridiculous remarks at that time, so how to make Icefield City have fresh vegetables to eat all winter has become a top priority for him.

Audair suggested going to other small towns to buy them, but knowing that the winter in the West Continent lasted for four months, that was certainly not a long-term solution.

Rafa naturally thought of the vegetable greenhouse, because the ice field city is located in the northwest, the sun is quite sufficient, but the temperature is too low, so if the greenhouse can be built, then the vegetables all winter do not have to worry, and one-third of the residents of the ice field city are farmers, if the vegetable greenhouse is handed over to them to take care of, not only to meet the supply of vegetables in the ice field city, but also to sell to other towns at a high price, if the rumor that vegetables can resist the curse, vegetables must be in short supply.

Although the vegetable greenhouse should be very easy to build, according to Ding Yifan's memory, this world lacks a plastic film that transmits light and keeps warm.

Without this thing, and with no suitable alternative materials, his plan could only stay in his head.

On this day, he sat in the council hall with a sad face and pondered alone, thinking about it all afternoon, the black tea in his hand had already been cold and cold, but he still didn't come up with any way.

"Your Highness. Towards evening, Sipheus, who had been instructed to count the situation in Icefield City, finally arrived late with a booklet.

"Yo, there are so many minerals, and iron ore is still the most...... It's a pity not to mine. "Turning the first page of the booklet, there is a wide variety of mineral deposits neatly listed, except for gold and silver mines, almost all kinds of mineral deposits.

Rafa was puzzled, "Since there are so many iron ores, why didn't the people of Icefield City mine them before?"

"Your Highness, when Icefield City was established as a fortress, it was because of the abundance of iron ore nearby, and it was very convenient to make weapons and armor, and even so far one-third of the people in Icefield City are blacksmiths, but the northern barbarians have retreated for decades, and the fortress has also declined, and Icefield City is located in a remote area, except for ore, there is really no trade value, so gradually no one cares about this thing. ”

"In the end, it's because it's too biased. After complaining, he continued to read.

"Three hundred and thirty in all, the largest are farmers and herdsmen, and the least are merchants," Rafa frowned, "two-fifths of them are self-sufficient in food, and the rest are dependent on the blacksmith's sword and the skins of cattle and sheep?"

"Exactly, because it is located in the northwest, winter comes quickly, the grain can only be ripened once a year, and naturally it cannot be completely self-sufficient, and the predecessor of this place is a military fortress, there is really no other output, so we can only use the best swords made by blacksmiths and the best skins of cattle and sheep to exchange for vacant grain at low prices. ”

Looking at the last page with a sad face, he summed up the reasons for the poor development of Icefield City, just two reasons, the location and the small population.

In the final analysis, the problem of location bias is because the population is small, because there are few people, others don't care about your market, so they are too lazy to trade with you, if you have a large population, the market becomes larger, and you will naturally be able to attract more people.

"By the way, Felihill said she gave you all her money, how much?" Closing the booklet, Rafa began to worry about the money, although the Knights were his private army, even if they might have no place to spend the money in this place, they had to send it enough, plus if they wanted to attract talent to expand the strength of Icefield City, money was even more indispensable.

"Madame ordered me to be given fifty-three thousand and seventy-two gold coins, plus thirty thousand gold coins from His Majesty the Emperor when he left Byron, and then deduct the salaries of the knights of the Order, and then deduct ......."

"Okay, okay, you just say the result, how much money do we have now?"

"To this day, there are eighty-one thousand twenty-three Imperial Gold coins in the treasury. ”

"Alas, the superficial husband and wife are worth more than the real father and son. Rafa was slightly relieved when he heard this number, and if he didn't splurge it, he should be able to hold out for a while.

No sooner had Siphus stepped back than a maid who was stumbling on foot groped up to Rafa and stared at him with wide eyes for a long time.

"Ah, I found it, it's Your Highness. ”

Looking at her eyes that were about to hit his face, Rafa stepped back, "You're Fili's maid, what's the matter?"

"My name is Lilith, and Madame asked me to tell you that the technology of glass has progressed. Lilith said towards a cabinet.

"Uh... I know, I'll go over it. Seeing that Lilith was still talking to the cabinet, he couldn't help but scold, "It turns out that he is highly myopic." ”

"Audrey, I'll go first, you help Lilith here, you see she's already hit so many bags on her head. ”

"Yes. Audair walked over and pinched Lilith's neck.

During the trip to Felihill's lab, he suddenly thought that Felihill's glass might solve the problem of vegetable greenhouses, and he couldn't help but speed up his pace.

The moment he stepped into the large, star-twinkling room, he knew Felicille had succeeded.

All kinds of crystal clear utensils filled one wall, and Felihill still held a clear glass bowl without the slightest impurity, and in it was a strawberry sundae, and when Rafa entered, she was putting a piece of strawberry in her mouth, and her eyes were full of pride.

"Oh my God...", looking at the various delicate utensils, he couldn't understand how Felihill could do so much in a matter of days, "Burning pure glass requires a steady high temperature, how do you do that?" He looked around the lab and found no trace of burning coal.

Speaking of this, Felihill frowned slightly, "You don't need to know this, you just need to know that I can do it." ”

"Miss Felihill, you are an angel sent from heaven. Rafa took her hand and kissed her gently.

"I'm using these vessels for my own use, and if you want to sell them for money, you'll have to wait a while. ”

"Don't worry, the tens of thousands of gold coins you gave to Seapheus are enough for us to support us for a long time. ”

"I'm not here today because of this. Felihill placed the glass bowl on the table.

"Speak, please. ”

"You saw Lilith just now, she should be what you call myopia, is there a way to solve it?"

"Not before..."

Say. ”

Rafa wanted to sell it, but was stunned by Philisille's eyes.

"Ahem, you just need to fire a suitable concave lens. ”

Felihill silently opened the notebook, and wrote down every word he said exactly, as she looked at Rafa with a look in her eyes that began to change again.

She felt that these things did not seem to be memorized from books, because when he explained some things, he often mixed some of his own popular understandings, which by no means could be explained by memorization, and it sounded like he was already very familiar with these things, even to the extent that he could give examples.

It's like you can memorize the entire canon of the Church, but at the same time you understand all the meanings of it, which is impossible, at least in her mind, which no one else can.

Rafa, there are secrets hidden from her, and of course, she has secrets of her own.

"That's pretty much it, you get the idea, don't you?" Rafa glanced at Audair and Blind Lilith, who walked in through the door.

Felihill closed her notes, "Alright,

You're good to go. ”

"Don't, I ......"

Say. She knew there was something else going on with Rafa.

Rafa hurriedly came up with the idea of building a vegetable greenhouse, a plan to let everyone eat fresh vegetables in the winter.

"Make glass with a big curvature? I see. ”

It was easy to talk to Felihill, because her mind was clear and she didn't ask too much about it, so she quickly understood what he meant.

"After three days, take the glass, and you go and build the foundation first. ”

"Yes, ma'am. ”

Although it was already dark, it was hard to stop Rafa's excitement, and he asked Sievers overnight to ask how many farmers wanted to participate in the "business" of the greenhouse, he was afraid that the number of people who wanted to participate would be too small to make the scale unable; but he didn't expect that almost all the farmers chose to participate, because in the winter farmers can only go out to hunt or something, and now he heard that there is a good thing to be able to grow vegetables in winter, and they are all vying to participate, and there is no situation that he is worried about.

Early the next morning, Rafa and his men chose a wide flat land as the site for the construction of the greenhouse, and the bewildered peasants reclaimed the neat rectangular fields according to his request, and although they did not know what he wanted to do, most of them believed him according to the fact that he had cured the curse.

A few days later, when the strong knights brought out the transparent glass from the city lord's mansion that they could not afford to use in their lifetime and placed it on the field, they were even more convinced that the third prince was not lying to them.

"Your Highness, what the hell is the use of this thing?" Audair did not understand why she had put the noble glass in the dirt.

"You won't say that when you have fresh vegetables. ”

Looking at the strange shape of the "greenhouse" installed with a small wooden door, most people, like Audrey, don't know what's going on, they only know that they want to grow vegetables inside, but can they plant vegetables in locks up?

Such a scene attracted the attention of almost everyone in Icefield City, and the few residents and knights of the Order came to hang out in the shed, but everyone was skeptical of this thing and was not really optimistic.

Rafa didn't bother to explain to them, and after ordering the farmers to sow the seeds, he left.

Although the farmers were also puzzled, they thought that these things were all paid by the lord, and it seemed that it was nothing to contribute on their own.

Just when everyone didn't know why, only three days later, the tender vegetable seedlings began to emerge in unison, you must know that at this time it has entered the early winter, and almost all the vegetables in Icefield City are preserved in advance, which can never be grown in the open air, but at this time, these verdant vegetable seedlings gave everyone a surprise.

For a while, the area around the greenhouse was full of people all day long, and people who saw vegetable seedlings for the first time in winter were very curious about this scene.

In the days that followed, the seeds planted by the farmers began to take root and sprout rapidly, and with the careful care of the farmers, it was only half a month before the people of Icefield City had already eaten the first batch of greenhouse vegetables, and more vegetables were produced in a steady stream.

The people of Icefield City are very curious to eat fresh vegetables in winter, and they praise the new master, and the title of "Lord of the Greenhouse" is spreading, and the image of the legendary absurd prince is being subverted.

"Greenhouse Lord? ”

Rafa first heard of the strange name at a dinner party that the royal family had to hold once in January, though he didn't seem too interested in it.

Philisille, who sat beside him, was putting the crisp green leaf in front of him into his mouth, "For you, a newcomer, any small positive comment is worth remembering. ”

Today's dinner was not just the two of them, but included the original mayor of the town, the head of the knights, a farmer's representative, Audrey, Syphus, and a merchant who was rare in Icefields.

It's just that now except for the two people in the upper seat, no one dares to make a sound, and they all bow their heads as if they are walking on thin ice, and even chew carefully, although they are very flattered by the honor of dining with the lord, but they do not know the purpose of being invited here today.

After talking to Felihill for a while, Rafa turned her gaze to everyone in the room, a smile on her lips.

"It's not enough to develop in one place, the future of Icefield City depends on you. ”

At this time, it was time for Felihill's glassware to be made and the greenhouse vegetables to expand and develop outward. 2k reading web
