Liu Ci offered a reward of 10,000 gold coins to burn down the vineyard of the Marquis de Straif.

This task is not difficult to say, as long as the news is not transmitted back to Rhine City, it is easy to succeed if you are bold and careful. Mercenaries are outlaws, and as long as the price is sufficient, they are not afraid of offending the nobles.

Stull was very moved, Liu Ci did this without informing him, and did it quietly.

Whether it is to buy people's hearts, or to deal with someone, Liu Aci doesn't like to turn around and go straight to the ground, in this continent that advocates "supreme strength", most people are actually quite solid in their bones, and her style can move people's hearts.

On the afternoon of the bounty, an anonymous person took over the task.

Liu Ci has put this matter aside and worried about the problem of the "winery".

A large valley, plus three mountains, under the guidance of Lady Betty, it took less than 20,000 gold coins to clear the relationship. If it is a fertile territory similar to the Lorenz family before, such a large area, as a nobleman, to buy from other nobles, I am afraid that the cost will not be less than 100,000 gold coins. What is the concept of 100,000 gold coins? Sturt Garland, who is worth 100,000 gold coins, is already a well-known businessman.

Of course, Stuart is now converting his property, and after the destruction of the winery, Stull's net worth has shrunk significantly, and he is not as wealthy as Liu Ci.

Liu Kun became a real big landowner.

A large area of land that had dried up and weathered due to lack of water, Liu Ci rode a leper horse around the land under his name, looking at the bare mountains and the equally bare river valleys, and spontaneously felt a sense of satisfaction.

"From here on, it's all covered in green!"

Liu Ci waved his arm and said something that made Stuart look forward to it.

"Boss, there are vines planted on the mountain?"

Liu Ci shook his head, "No, I have other plans, grow tea on the mountain!" “

Stuart looked worried, does the boss really know how to farm? The price of tea remains high, one is that it is difficult to grow tea, the growth conditions of tea trees are very harsh, and the other is that roasting tea requires technology, which has been kept secret for thousands of years.

The Xiyi Empire was rich in "tea" because the territory of the Xiyi Empire occupied the most fertile part of the continent. In the barren Emster region, where only livestock can grow grass, and even wheat grows hard, how can tea be grown? Stuart felt that Liu Ci was whimsical.

Liu Ci didn't explain, and only asked Stull where there were tea seedlings.

"It will take two or three months to find the tea seedlings and transport them back, boss, my people are not familiar with this industry, and I am afraid of finding faults." The bent-eyed youth hesitated.

Liu Ci laughed: "No matter the type, as long as it is a tea sapling, it will be transported back, and then subdivided and planned here, you can do it quickly." By the way, there is also a vacant land on the next mountain, if you have money, take it, you can plant whatever I plant, anyway, I can't treat you badly. ”

Stuart nodded, Liu Ci could spend 10,000 gold coins to avenge him, and when he realized it, even if Liu Ci's cultivation failed, he would not be heartbroken to invest gold coins.

Stuart went to find someone to arrange to buy the land.

Liu Ci arrested the maid Nana and the others. Nana, who was less than twenty years old, ran all over Amster City in a few days before completing the task assigned by Liu Ci.

To cultivate the land, you need to hire people, and before you can cultivate the land, the Zhuangzi must first be built.

There are many homeless people in Emster, and those who cannot afford to buy livestock have no choice but to become hired laborers.

Liu Ci did not have an aristocratic status and could not legally own his own slaves.

But she could learn from Stuhl's model of running a winery, employing homeless and money-strapped civilians.

Nana returned with the workers who had signed the contract.

The poor people, who can never straighten their waists, drag their families to the valley, and look at this barren land, they really have little confidence in the future.

Nana hired fifty men, plus their wives and children, two hundred, not to mention the work, and the first thing to do was to solve the problem of their work, right?

When the cook and the other two maids arrived in the valley, they wanted to faint.

"Miss Ci, the food truck has arrived!"

Nana stood on a high place and cheered, and on the winding mountain road, oxen and horses appeared on the cart. Stuhl's winery was burned down, and there were many "unemployed" people, so they all came to help. Stull was in town to solve the land problem, buying groceries by the way.

In addition to flour, potatoes, onions and other ingredients, there are also spices and pots on the bus. The most important thing is, of course, the tents.

"Set up a stove to cook, let the cook pick a few quick helpers, and then arrange for someone to set up a tent. So many people, before dark, let Stull send another hundred thick quilts! ”

The temperature difference in the Emster Mountains is extremely large, and it is obvious that there are tents alone, which can not really protect against the cold.

Although Liu Ci is not a bad person, nor is she a "Liu Peel" who exploits hired workers, in terms of capital operation, there are not many gold coins invested, but she can make people work hard, and she is the only one who makes money.

Nana trotted to inform Stuhl's men that they remembered to transport the thick quilt, and the cook looked at the person who was building the stove, and came up with a look of embarrassment:

"Miss Ci, if you can't make bread without an oven, even if you make cakes, you need water!"

The loess is everywhere, the riverbed is dry, and Liu Ci can take the land at one-fifth of the market price, is it because of the lack of water here?

"Are there two large barrels and linoleum cloth among the things Stull sent?"

The cook had already looked through the hill-like goods, and nodded when she heard the words.

"Go, let someone dig a pit, spread the linoleum cloth, and bring the bucket again."

Another maid is named Amy, she is very envious that Nana has been favored by Liu Ci, and now she finally has a chance to perform, so she hurriedly carried her skirt to do what Liu Ci ordered.

There was sufficient labor, and it didn't take long to dig a ten-cubic-meter pit, and the linoleum cloth was laid, and Liu Ci took out the water gathering charm.

The hired men were startled when they saw only a flash of fire and a large pool of water appearing out of thin air in the pit.

Is the person who hired them a magician?

When she looked at Liu Ci again, there was no contempt in her eyes because of her young age.

Seeing the water source appear, the cook rejoiced.

With Liu Ci's current strength, the primary "water gathering talisman" can fill a pit of ten cubic meters, and it will not waste talisman power at all.

The cook took the wives of several hired workers to wash their hands, poured the flour of the white flowers on the table, and kneaded the dough with the water.

The steamer made by Liu Ci is buckled on the big iron pot, and dozens of steamed buns can be steamed on one layer, overlapping seven or eight layers, and the height is higher than the height of the cook! If you can't bake bread, Liu Ci asked the cook to steam steamed buns, as long as one pot, it is enough to solve the problem of feeding more than 100 people.

The cook and a few women threw off their arms and kneaded the dough, and soon sweated profusely in the sun.

Liu Ci saw more women huddled together, guarding their children, not knowing what to do, and called for someone to peel the potatoes.

Potatoes and onions were the most common vegetables eaten by the Amsters, and women were no strangers to them.

Several women scrambled to come to Liu Ci to behave.

Nana and the others had already set up a pergola, and they also brought a moderate temperature washing water for Liu Ci.

Liu Ci washed his face, and instead of sitting in the pergola to rest, he mounted a leper horse and circled around the foot of the mountain beyond the riverbed.

On the left-hand side of the mountain, the rocks are bare and not covered with dirt.

Correspondingly, the loess at the foot of the mountain is also the most cracked.

Liu Ci held the giant sword in his hand, carefully inspected the soil, and dug down.

After digging for two or three meters, the dry and cracked loess became slightly wet. The slightly damp loess can feel the stickiness between his fingers, and Liu Ci is certainly not stupid enough to dig a well on the sunny side.

What she was looking for was sticky soil.

Building a stone castle is a long-term, time-consuming and labor-intensive project, and Liu Ci is now full of farming plans and is not busy living in the castle. But now in October, the grass is yellow, and soon winter will be in the Emster area. Winter in Emster is no warmer than in the depths of the Moroch Mountains, and tents cannot withstand the wind and snow, so in order to ensure the survival of the hired workers, Liu Ci needs a number of houses that can be built quickly.

She thought of burning bricks.

As long as you adjust the proportion of clay and the temperature of the brick kiln, you can continue to try once you can't burn bricks, and it is not difficult to know the method, just like papermaking.

Liu Ci is not short of manpower now.

With the bottom in his heart, Liu Ci rode the leper horse back slowly.

The steamer is steaming, and the white-flour steamed buns are ready to come out of the pot when you see it. The potato stewed mutton is more ripe than the steamed buns, and the aroma tempts the employees to look here frequently, and many people are swallowing their saliva.

"Let's make another onion soup!"

Liu Ci, who grew up in the Great Universe for generations, is not very suitable for the slave exploitation system of the Magic Continent.

Her generosity made the eyes of the hires look at her full of gratitude.

"You're just too good for them!"

The cook muttered and ran to chop the onions. Liu Ci didn't care.

When the sun rises to its highest, the steamed buns are cooked, the vegetables are cooked, and the soup is cooked.

Steamed buns with a man's fist are as big as they can be eaten, as long as they are not wasted, there is no limit. Beef stewed with potatoes, fragrant, a spoonful per person, and a bowl of onion soup.

Gobbling up, for a moment only the sound of chewing food remains. Some men drank and drank, and actually buried their heads and cried.

Nana's eyes also reddened: "Miss, you are a good person. ”

Liu Ci, who was issued a card, lowered her head and drank the soup, although her food was scooped out by the cook in advance, it was actually no different.

Is she a good person?

Liu Ci is so confused, she came to the Magic Continent, and the number of times she was issued a good person card seems to have increased, right?

When most people put down the bowls, Liu Ci stepped on the table and said:

"There is enough food here, no one abuses you, as long as you work hard, everyone can be fed and clothed! You have lived up to me, and I will not treat you badly! Pick up the tools in your hand and follow me out on the mountain! ”

The hired workers cheered, carried shovels, and walked to the sunny place of the mountain with Liu Ci.

Liu Ci wants to dig soil and burn bricks!!!
