Da, da.

The sound of horses' hooves was rhythmic, clasping on the dirt road that had already woken up.

On a cold and warm autumn morning, the leaves are dappled among the trees, and the sunlight is chopped to pieces.

【Hactl LV1】

[Number of carriages stopped today: 2]

The militia took the leash and took the exhausted horses away.

The women dried their clothes and hung empty bamboo poles with fluttering "flags".

Adam walked up the stairs with heavy steps, and looked up at the neatly repaired main building, feeling extremely distant and bored.

Turn around and take a shortcut.

He said hello to the early workers a few times before pushing open the tavern door.

Jane was portioning the bran bread, and the soup was filling the marked barrels one by one.

In the several human kingdoms in the center of the Kundia continent, breakfast is basically not popular, and only the low-level people who need to work will simply eat to survive the heavy physical work.

Just like public health, the stronghold has not yet divided the land and established taxes.

But the generous lord still took breakfast into account and strictly enforced it to match the enthusiasm of the inhabitants for the construction.

Adam slipped past like a tavern helper, undisturbing the others.

He pushed open the familiar oak door and planted himself on a low bed made of bearskin, losing his movement like a corpse.

[You come to the exclusive private room, are knocked down by fatigue, and fall into a dream]

Jane heard the movement, but patiently finished the work at hand.

She is often attracted to attention, and has been teased several times by the other girls in the colony.

When Jane picked up the empty basin and walked around the bar, she found that the cubicle was empty, and she subconsciously retreated, and then never left for a long time.

……

Adam sat on the edge of the low bed, a little flustered in his heart.

He considers himself a keen person, and often has a sense of things that are close to him beyond his nerves.

Once, while fleeing in the southern mountains of Hangena, he rolled over in his sleep and caught a brown snake - before it could bury its thin feet in the soil, curl up and attack.

"Hey."

Adam inhaled the wood incense into his lungs, turning it into a sigh and glancing around: two long swords leaning against the head of the bed, boots lined up, a pair of bare feet on the plank, somewhat insecure.

While asleep, someone removed all his defenses.

Although I slept comfortably, the unexpected feeling after waking up was really unacceptable.

"Maybe I'm too tired and my vigilance has deserted."

He comforted himself, packed up his rope, pushed the door and left.

This incident became a hiccup.

Adam used his memory to descend from the gravel square, following the prescribed markers and the sequence of dwellings, to find the wooden house in the corner.

【Tailor's House】

[It can train weavers. 】

[Apprentices: 4]

"The repair work will have to be arranged later, and I won't be available today."

The lady with gray sideburns replied, and when she turned to see Adam, the wrinkles stretched slightly.

"Your Excellency, do you want to pick a piece of cloth?"

The female embroiderer nestled in a wooden chair, slightly old, with her right foot down the ankle and gone, is the type of homeless who has picked up a life.

Adam shook his head mildly and took out the cloth from the drying rack.

"You embroidered this?"

【Sewing lining】

[The stitches are fine and tight, and the knotting skills are clever. 】

"Hey, that's right."

After careful observation, the middle-aged village woman answered the lord's questions truthfully.

Textiles are also often classified as labor, and those with skills participate in custom work, and those with poor stitches are assigned to the workshop assembly line to complete a fixed amount of products.

"I need your craftsmanship and a giant flag that can be hung in front of the main building."

Adam leaned back on the table, raised his hand to gesture at his thoughts, and asked for his opinion on many details.

He had long understood that the other party was also a top embroiderer.

But talent and hard work have been severely hit by the war, and his family has died in the army or bandits, and now he is disabled, so he seems a little depressed.

"It's not a big problem, you go back and back up the manuscript, and I'll just arrange it according to the pattern."

The woman's speech was slow, her eyes narrowed slightly, and she was as gloomy as dusk.

Adam turned back at the door.

"Mrs. Cooper, I'm not going to pay for it."

He folded his hands behind his back and scanned the elaborate hut filled with tools.

"Well, what's wrong with that? The entire stronghold is yours. ”

The woman kept smiling, her expression a little confused, clearly not understanding the sentence.

"No, when the flag is finished, the room will be yours. When the time comes, if there is still public work to be done, I will ask them to pay you. ”

On the square table are several clay pots, filled with dyes that have been blended for a long time, and some of them have dried up and cracked.

"Next year there will be flax, cotton, wool...... Tsk, this house is too small, you have to consider building a joint venture workshop and hiring dozens of young girls to work for you.

Plan well, buy raw materials, and sell finished products. Your name must be on the merchant's manifest. All in all, adjust the status and get the taxes ready for me. ”

Adam slapped the table and got up to leave again.

Mrs. Copper nodded in agreement, and sat quietly in the circle chair for a long time before she took out the cloth-cutting knife from behind her, with which she had intended to plunge herself in the heart.

Inside the base, everyone is full of enthusiasm and works day and night to build their homes.

But a disabled person like her can only consume the desire to survive in the food and service provided by others.

"Hey, what a good sunset, how can you match this color?"

She muttered to herself, slowly folding the blanket that covered her lap, like the apprentice girl from years ago, carefully smoothing out each crease.

The defective right foot is completely exposed to the field of vision.

"Mrs. Cooper, there is bean soup for dinner."

The apprentice tailor returned from work, leaning on the wooden chair on wheels, and found that the teacher seemed to be in a good mood today.

"Did anything good happen to you?"

She asked.

The middle-aged lady instantly straightened her face again.

"Hmph, go make me a dandelion tea, ask for new tea, those bastards should always be filial and some good things come up......"

Her voice was vicissitudes, but her tone was slightly raised

……

After Adam's visit to the embroiderer, he turned to the woodworking field, where they had to work in the open air, with their tripods and stretching boards stacked on top of each other.

But the situation will soon improve.

【Lumber Yard LV2 (under construction)】

At present, all buildings are still mainly wooden structures, and the quarrying work can only be carried out slowly after the survey of the lower river valley is completed.

The trip to Taigangda brought iron ore, although it was not much, but it was completely unhindered to support the first batch of tools.

In addition, the gradual abundance of goods will be able to meet the needs of the base.

In his vision, only by opening up the fields and being self-sufficient in food can it be regarded as truly stable.

Adam would not lie dormant forever, but when he was ready, he would reach out and swallow up the population and resources.

But......

The stronghold becomes the next Taigangda, and then work in the direction of Anton Weisen.

The empire was rich, and the nobility was ranked.

Is this really the future you want?

The night sucked away the last rays of the sun, and darkness shrouded it.

Warm lights were lit, people's work was shifted from forest areas and river banks to squares, and the construction of houses and road extensions were in full swing.
