Chapter 111: Allen's Landscape Paintings
What kind of city lord there is, what kind of town will there be, as far as it seems that Alan Edward must have endured for a long time, until the Minotaur attacked Lionheart, suddenly attacked, and rapidly expanded his territory and population.
Walking along the vast farmland, Goss found that the amount of farmland opened up in Tomorrow Town was half that of Saltpeter Town, which meant that there was enough farmland here to feed two or three thousand people in Tomorrow Town.
It is enough for slaves to eat mush, when the freedmen and slaves do not starve to death, and even if Tomorrowtown is besieged, it is not a big problem, and it can be self-sufficient to survive year after year.
But that's all, these can't solve the problem, once Lionheart is full of combat power, the rise of Tomorrow Town can only be reduced to a joke, and the city will be broken in one day.
"Now there is no empty civil war in the kingdom, and when the army recovers in the future, the situation of Tomorrow Town will not be much better."
Goss turned his head to look at the beautiful Marianne, and by noon, the sun was getting hot, and the cat lady was sweating and her clothes were getting wet.
"Marianne, come back to Saltpeter Town with me, tomorrow Town will die sooner or later if you continue to play like this."
"No, I like it here." Marianne shook her head.
"Why?"
"Because it's clean, tidy, and there's a flush toilet." Marianne shook her head.
"Clean? How clean can this be, our saltpeter town is a century-old town, and tomorrow town was a small village before...... Hey, it's really clean here. Goss choked in the middle of speaking.
Leaving the farmland area and entering the housing area of Tomorrow Town, the neat dirt streets came into view, and there was no garbage in sight, no feces, and no stench smell.
The cement road leading to the administration building has ended its maintenance period, and the orcs are stepping on the solid concrete pavement, and they can't find any "garbage" at all, not even a little dirt, everything is so tall.
"How is this possible, Tomorrow Town is just a new town, formerly a mining village, extremely backward." Goss muttered like crazy.
"Anyway, Tomorrowtown and Lionheart are incompatible." His uncle thought of another aspect, he could use Tomorrow Town to consume the forces of the Lionheart Kingdom, and even induce the whole country to rush to Tomorrow Town, and wait for the royal city to be empty and have no support, and rebel in one fell swoop.
The anti-lion faction has been active for more than ten years, and it is this day that they are waiting for.
Wait any longer, the leaders of the anti-lion faction are old, and even if the rebellion succeeds, they will not be able to enjoy it for a few years.
Goss heard his uncle speak, his furrowed brows furrowed again.
Yes, what about tomorrow's clean town, sooner or later it will be leveled by the Lionheart, and its role is nothing more than the consumption of the Lionheart's living power.
After Goss sorted his mood, he paused, "Okay, I'll admit that Tomorrowtown is clean, but Marianne you don't want to live in a scared town all day. ”
"Compared to Tomorrow Town, Saltpeter Town is a large saltpeter export town in the kingdom, there is no danger to life, and you don't have to worry about being settled by the kingdom's army one day."
"Mr. Goss, but I love this town, and even though it's still weak, I'm sure you'll see how strong it is in the future." Marianne held back a smile and repeatedly rejected the invitation.
Goss was not discouraged, having been rejected twenty-four times by Marianne, and he didn't care about being rejected again.
"I still say the same thing, you are always welcome in my bedroom bed, dear Marianne."
After saying this, Goss and the others also came to the administrative building.
Compared with the cement style of the previous period, the walls of the administrative building are now planted with various green leaf vines, which is full of green life style.
Walking inside, you can see a huge white cardboard pasted on the walls on both sides, and on the white paper are black and white landscape paintings drawn by Allen with ink and brush.
On the right is a magnificent landscape map, depicting the beautiful scenery of the mountains and rivers around the town of tomorrow, under the mountains is a faint white mist, clouds and smoke, and occasionally trees come out of the clouds, the whole painting gives people a supernatural beauty of a fairyland on earth.
For the first time he saw such a picture, Goss jerked and stared wide-eyed to take a closer look.
"Tut-tut, this painting actually gives me a sense of ethereal mystery, I have never seen a painting like this." Goss is a master painter and has seen many oil paintings, but he has never seen anyone else paint with pure ink.
Those just the right amount of white space give Goss unlimited space for reverie, which makes people yearn for it.
Goss's uncle walked in and saw a different picture, the one on the left, of a tall skyscraper, with the tallest and most magnificent building in the middle, and the buildings below each with their own characteristics, forming a thriving modern central business district.
"The architectural style and painting technique of this painting are very unfamiliar, which regional painting style is it?"
Goss's uncle was puzzled, and several regional styles popped into his head.
The painting style of the Orcs of the Bull Headed Country, the painting style of the Tiger Kingdom, and the painting style of the barren islands are all different from the painting styles he has appreciated.
Generally speaking, the popular oil painting of Lionheart and even neighboring countries began two hundred years ago and has a relatively long history of development.
And the kind of painting in front of him is obviously a mature painting style, which can open up another painting system.
"This is Lord Allen's painting, because Alan said that there is no paint, it is better to paint a few paintings to decorate."
Marianne chuckled, she loved nothing more than to see the foreign orcs eating deflated, and even though she didn't know what paint was, she just loved to look at it.
Goss complimented, "It's a soulful painting, and I want to see Lord Allen more and more." ”
After a while, Goss's uncle was invited out of the house, and only the ordinary lion Goss could do the office.
The walls of Allen's office room have been boarded with wooden boards, and the ugly cement blank appearance can no longer be seen, and even the floor is covered with wooden boards, which is very beautiful.
"Hello Lord Allen, I'm Goss Anderson from Saltpeter." Goss reported the name of the family, nodded slightly, and quietly swept his eyes around the office, seeing a map of the city plan of Tomorrow Town hanging on the wall behind Allen.
It didn't matter if Goss didn't look at it, he was attracted by the plan, if it weren't for the orc behind him pushing him, he might have racked his brains to calculate the white paper full of lines and geometric beauty.
"Hello, I'm Alan Edward, it's a pleasure to meet you, I think we can talk about the order quantity of saltpeter, how about tripling the original base of the quantity while keeping the price the same?"
As soon as Alan opened his mouth, it was such a big list, Goss really couldn't stand Allen's straightforward style, took out a silk scarf to wipe the sweat on his head, and hesitated: "Lord Allen, we can talk slowly about saltpeter, but I want to know why you use so much saltpeter?" ”
"Do you have to inquire about this, it's actually very hot, and I want to cool down." Alan looked at the ice cubes in the basin on the table, which were made of saltpeter, which absorbed the heat and cooled the summer heat.
