On a summer night, the night is deep, the moon rises tomorrow, and the stars are sparsely set.

The sea breeze is coming, the torches on the diagonal wall are swaying in the wind, the light is flickering on and off, and in the darkness, the ancient castle is like a giant beast lying on its stomach, which makes people look very uncomfortable.

Alvin put down the potato goulash and looked out the window.

The people were divided into two groups, the cook and the tailor, as well as the guards and the blacksmith father and son who had fought with them and Chuck in one strategy, and opposite was Marlowe and more than 20 of them, each carrying a stone of nearly 100 catties and sitting, anyway, it was necessary to repair the wall tomorrow, so it should be prepared in advance.

They are all starving ghosts.

In the big pot in the center of the courtyard, there was only a bonfire and a belly of pot ashes, and the hill-like beef and the hill-like potatoes all entered the mouth, and the shriveled stomach bulged.

The servants, the four fisherwomen of the Salted Fish Gang and the bull-riding maiden, as soon as they entered the castle, put chains on them, "There is just a shortage of servants, four fisherwomen, two go to the kitchen, two clean, three children, two are responsible for feeding the horses, one is for me to be a scholar, the old woman is a tailor, and the beautiful girl is the lord's personal maid." ”

They were still busy, and tonight thanks to these people with chains, who had been busy all night, and what they got in return was a bunch of omnivorous foods that pigs and dogs didn't eat, and Alvin couldn't bear it, so he poured a little broth on them, and they were all grateful.

As Alvin walked out of the castle, the captain of the guard immediately followed, and walked into Marlowe, his eyes wandering over the faces of several men. "Ah...... My lord. A few big men stood up.

"Your Excellency is here. "Your Excellency. ”

Everyone squeezed out a smile and got up to greet him, Alvin was very pleased, there were a lot of potatoes, beef and a whole pot of soup, it was really not in vain, but Marlowe still had a stinky face and ignored him, is this guy like Feifei, he has eaten a full meal and wants to bite.

Someone moved a rock, and Alwyn sat down.

"Everybody had a good meal. ”

"Yes, yes, it's been a long time since I've eaten so full. ”

"The last time I was full, it was last year, and the fish at home was a little smelly, so if I didn't eat it, I had to keep it, so I endured it and ate it all. ”

"Uncle Ben......" The captain of the guard glanced at the murderous gaze, and the man shuddered, and said, "I, I, I have only eaten one full meal in my life, that is, the first time I went to sea, the first fish, hey, fresh fish, I ate a full ......."

The boat shook and spit out again. "There are companions who tear down the stage.

"Hahaha......"

The man's face turned red, and he whispered: "Fang Zheng has eaten enough, that feels so good, and he has never experienced that good day in the future, he has married a wife and has a baby, and he can't eat enough......"

Insects chirped, flames fell in the wind, no one spoke, everyone was silent.

"I'm full again today, don't move, you have to spit it out when you move, potato stew, good thing. ”

Someone said softly, but no one laughed, they were indeed well fed, just like Feifei who had drunk blood, and their stomachs were bulging.

"Thank you, Lord. ”

"Thank you, Lord. ”

Thank you one after another, sentence after sentence, the voice was not loud, and Alvin listened comfortably.

"Hmph!" Marlowe snorted coldly, Lord Lord, let go of the fart! ”

"Build the road!" said Alvin unceremoniously.

"Oh, a rather far-sighted lord. Marlo looked up at the young lord and complimented.

Alvin didn't answer, although he had only known Marlowe for a day, he knew that between this guy's mouth full of yellow teeth, the breath that came out of it definitely had bad breath.

"It's to build roads, and it's more convenient to ride out to grab money, food, and women in the future, and it's easy to carry large items, unlike just now, a cow fell into the sand several times, and almost broke the car apart. ”

"It takes as many people as possible to carry things that are heavier and more than oxen, and to build a large road that two wagons or ox carts can cross. ”

"From the castle to the seaside, hehe......" Marlowe sneered, to build such a road, it will take a month for the strong men of the whole town to do it together, this month, no one goes out to sea to fish, no food source is lost, the road is not built, and the people in the town have starved to death.

"The road is too long, my lord, we don't lack strength, but we need a lot of food and food for people. "Someone kindly reminded me.

Alvin looked at Marlowe's sneering face seriously, and said, "The road I want to build is longer, from the sea to the mountains, No, it's the canyon over there......"

"Where...... Where are you going to do it?"

"Where...... Nothing. ”

Many people looked in the direction of the mountain and asked questions.

Alvin smiled and replied, "There is money, food, and women." ”

Marlowe glanced at the young lord and then looked back at the canyon, "Where...... Nothing, nothing...... Oh, yes, there are mines, and there are treasures in the mountains, but we can't enjoy them. ”

Marlowe actually guessed that he was a person with brains or insight, and he couldn't help but be impressive. "It's all mine, Lord Lord. Alvin said.

"You want to give out iron ore, money for food, and women?" Marlowe whispered.

"If you don't do it, you can change the territory. ”

"Iron ore...... You went to the blacksmith's house for this ......."

In this era, salt, iron, and grain are all money and human life, and they rely on the sea and have no food, but they have salt and iron, and as long as they manage it well, they can't go hungry at all.

Alvin told them about the blacksmith's plans for the present and the future. "I think okay, the hardest and most tiring part is to go to the mine, and now there are coolies. ”

The Salted Fish Gang bullied them miserably, and this incident was also retribution, and they did not have the slightest sympathy.

"Then, transport it out. Doing this with a fishing boat and walking along the shore is much safer than fishing. Marlowe looked at the young lord, his eyes changed slightly, a lord with ideas, unlike the previous ones, who only wore armor and rode horses, equipped with a big sword, and sucked blood from the people of the sea like robbery.

It is also a very generous gesture to invite everyone to have a full meal of potato and beef stew.

"You don't have a boat. "Marlowe dismantled the stage and hit the nail on the head.

"Rent!" Alwin's reply was succinct and to the point.

"If you can eat a full meal with adults, go up to Daoshan Mountain, and go down to the sea of fire, Lao Tzu ...... Oh no, I'm Jarrett all dry. The man said, crouching down beside Alwin.

That scarred face, the scar was smoothed by Alwin's healing technique, and then he came back to pay for the beauty.

"I'm also with me, I have a boat that can serve the lord, and it can carry two hundred pounds of iron ore at a time. ”

Then, more people joined in, and at the same time, five boats were also brought.

It can transport 1,000 Lan Jin of iron ore at a time, which can be exchanged for ten times the weight of grain, according to the consumption of 2 Lan Jin per person per day, 10,000 Lan Jin is enough to feed 500 people for ten days, and the town is only 500 people.

El reckoned to them, so that they could know the bottom of their hearts. Everyone talked for a while, most of them complained, how difficult the days were, how dangerous the sea was, how the salted fish gang of grandsons were too deceitful, until the night was getting deeper, the rest was enough, and the stomach could withstand the swaying, and then they left.

When they came, they were hungry and angry, and when they left, their stomachs were distended, they frequently deflated, and they scattered stinky farts along the way.

But with the moonlight on his feet, with the hope that the salted fish will turn over.
