Chapter 21 The Establishment of the Farm

(Today's third chapter, thank you for your support!)

The tall wooden fence is half livestock grazing and half farmland, and there are two connected sturdy houses on the farm, both of which are European-style farmhouses with stone as the foundation stone and timber as the beams. One of them is a dwelling and the other is a grain warehouse. In the distance of the house is a barn for livestock and poultry.

Aside from the absence of any animals and crops, this is already a perfect farm.

Next, Donald walked to the wasteland on the left side of the manor, waved his hand again, and another Terran farm covering an area of twenty acres appeared there again out of thin air. Next to the first farm, Donald built three farms in quick succession.

Although there is still open space in the rear where two farms can be built, the wood and stone materials are almost exhausted, so Donald can only build the foundation area in front of him first, and then build the rest in the future.

Anyone would have screamed a miracle if they saw it, but Donald was now crying out at the cost of building the farm.

Although there are basic materials, the energy consumption has been reduced by 80%, but the construction area of the farm is not small, and the remaining consumption has also used up a lot of reserve spars in an instant.

"These are all diamond-like elemental crystals! These are only the lowest-demand building units, and those larger buildings such as barracks and towns are not going to eat up the wealth that I have accumulated with great difficulty?"

A lot of spars are spent like water. But seeing the farm that appeared in front of him in an instant, Donald also felt that it was worth it.

Of course, you can use materials instead of some elemental crystals, and naturally you can bring your own materials, and then summon a sufficient number of Terran labor farmers to build farms, but in that case, although he can withstand the low-level Warcraft crystal nuclei consumed, the speed is far from being comparable to what it is now.

Real farmers build farms and other buildings, but not as fast and convenient as in the game, everything must conform to the basic laws of this world.

After the four farms were built around the center of the manor, Donald built four watchtowers at the four corners of the manor.

This kind of scout tower, which is built with stones as high as 15 meters and 8 meters in diameter at its thickest point, is the cheapest building among the four races of Warcraft. With a sufficient supply of stones, such a tall building, each watchtower only consumes about five low-grade elemental crystals, which is lower than the price of Donald's small guardian ring!

"With the existence of these four watchtowers, the safety of the manor will be greatly guaranteed in the future. ”

"Although the beginner watchtower has no attack ability in either the game or in reality, it can only be used as a scout building unit if it is not upgraded. However, in the real world, most situations can be worked, and only a few archers need to be placed on it to turn the tower into a temporary arrow tower, and there is no need to spend resources to upgrade and rebuild when the energy reserve is low. ”

Of course, such a pseudo-arrow tower is difficult to compare with the actual arrow tower with a crossbow arrow machine tool in terms of defense, but judging from the fact that he only has this remote and cramped manor, Donald does not think that there will be any strong enemies to capture this place. So it's good to get a few towers that cost the least resources out and use them for reconnaissance.

"It's a pity that the area of the small manor is not large, at most it is only enough to build six farms, and the land in the middle is still left for the construction of villas, so when the small manor develops, you can plan the vast manor!"

After doing this, Donald returned to his home in Red Maple Town and instructed the housekeeper to reduce the order for some building materials.

"The farm of the manor has been built, and the timber and stone continue to be purchased, but the other materials will be put aside for the time being, and we will talk about it when we find an architect to design and build the villa!"

"Really, young master?"

Kede, who received an affirmative answer, was pleasantly surprised.

"The power of the mage is amazing, now we need to hire a few farmers to take care of the farm, and we need to be prepared to buy a batch of livestock, poultry and crop seeds!"

Donald nodded and said:

"Yes, while spring is not over yet, we will vigorously develop this manor and strive for the first harvest before the autumn harvest!"

Although Kede has been idle for more than ten years, he is undoubtedly very competent as a housekeeper. First they contacted the architects of a chamber of commerce, and at the same time hired enough workers, and then hired three peasant families among the commoners they knew in the neighborhood, making a total of eleven working adult populations. This also includes Donald's coachman's family, which is now a farmer belonging to the Merliner family's estate.

The reason why these three families would abandon their original livelihood and prepare to work on the Merlinna family estate was because Donald gave double the conditions of the other nobles. He asked the steward to promise that in addition to the fixed cost of food and lodging, each farmer would receive 10% of the products they had grown and raised, which was at least double their original wages, and with such encouragement, the farmers would be motivated to do their work!

Looking at the excited appearance of the three families, the butler Kede asked on the side:

"Young Master, are your conditions too high?"

"Of course it's not high, you have to know that only if they feel that they are working for themselves, they will work willingly, and have great expectations for the harvest, so that the estate can develop as soon as possible!"

Based on the experience of his previous life, Donald knew that if he wanted the horse to run fast, but also to make the horse not eat grass, this kind of greedy and stingy thinking was unacceptable!

After explaining this reason to the butler, Kede admired the kindness and wisdom of his young master, and if he could come up with such favorable conditions, and the peasants would work hard for their own interests, then the manor would certainly produce much more than the other nobles in the future.

Three days later, Donald returned to the manor with his butler, attendants, and a few farmers who had been hired by the Melina family, and the butler Kord was stunned by the new manor in front of him!

The sturdy and elaborate fences, the imposing farms and houses seem to have been built overnight. The last time he came, he didn't have so many buildings!

"What a rich manor, look at these farms, it's a gift from the gods!"

"Thank you, goddess, thank you, Master Mage!"

None of the others, except the coachman, had ever been to the manor, so there was nothing surprising about them. They were all amazed by the fertility, beauty, and prosperity of the estate where they would work in the future.

As for the coachman, since following Donald, he has learned not to be alarmed. His employer is a mysterious and powerful mage, what else is impossible? In the minds of ordinary people, mages are either evil humans similar to demons, or they are powerful beings second only to gods!

Seeing that the coachman didn't say anything, Donald was satisfied. Naturally, his housekeeper will not betray himself, and the coachman, an outsider, may not be, but it seems that he is still trustworthy at present.

Donald turned to face the crowd and said:

"While the spring is not over, I plan to plant all the crops on the farm first, and take care of the livestock, so that when the harvest comes in the autumn, it can bring at least thousands of gold soles, and the investment in the early construction can be quickly recovered, and the balance of payments will be reached!"

"Yes, sir!" "We must work diligently!"

Under the leadership of the housekeeper, more than a dozen energetic farmers pulled several truckloads of livestock and crop seeds to the farm and placed them. Since only three families were now employed, the housekeeper assigned them to a large house on the farm, which had enough space to accommodate the three families.

There were still three farms to spare, and Donald had no plans for the time being, eleven laborers were almost enough for this small estate that had just been developed.

Because the houses on the farm were empty, when the villa was not built, Donald chose one of them to be his and the steward's temporary residence on the manor.

When you walk into your embodied room, you can see that you have all the basic facilities except for the lack of furniture.

"The houses on this farm are much larger than the houses in the town, and we will live here temporarily from today, which is also convenient for the management of the manor and farm!"

Donald turned back to the butler and commanded.

"Over there in Hongfeng Town, I don't plan to continue to live, after all, it is the territory of other nobles, so it's better to keep it as a contact point! Ke De, you have worked hard in the past two days, bring someone to move all the things and utensils at home! When the villa is built in a few months, this place will really look like a noble manor!"

The butler Kod got the order and went to organize the people to move.

After two days had passed, and the manor had basically settled down, and the peasants were busy, Donald went to Kamchatka with the hired architect, and before coming to the reserved place of the villa, he pointed to the open space and said:

"The construction of the manor villa can be done slowly, but it must be strong and durable, and there should be no mistakes or omissions, which will be troublesome to Mr. Dona!"

"Master Mage, please rest assured, the area of this villa is not small, but it is nothing compared to the entire manor, as long as the design drawings are determined, it is estimated that within three months, the project will be roughly completed!"

Kede, the butler, hired an architectural designer from the Boulder City branch of a chamber of commerce in Wangdu, and this designer was a scholar who looked to be about fifty, and the general professions of architects, accountants, etc., were all held by knowledgeable scholars.

The reason why the professions are different is because the scholars focus on different aspects of knowledge.

And the scholars, most of them are non-heirs from aristocratic families, and they must have a skill in order to be able to gain a foothold in this world and continue to live an aristocratic life.

This Dona scholar didn't pay attention to Donald's status as a small nobleman, after all, he was born in the royal capital and had seen too many nobles. But Donald's seventeen-year-old status as a full-fledged mage had to make him stand down, and in a world where it was widely believed that if anyone was more knowledgeable than scholars, it was the mages who cast spells.

And unlike scholars who are only auxiliary management talents, even research mages who are not good at fighting have powerful powers that ordinary people can't imagine, and such mysterious powers are in awe of ordinary people.

Faced with such a strong man, Dona decided to do his job as well as possible, so after surveying the terrain, he temporarily decided to live on the farm to facilitate the design and construction of the villa.

After a night of hard work by the Dona scholars, the sketches of the villa's design were preliminarily completed.

After getting the drawings, Donald was quite satisfied with the architectural appearance of the villa, and the Dona scholar adopted the architectural style of Sauron, the world's most commercially developed commercial alliance in the southern part of the continent.

Sauron is a beautiful kingdom, known not only for its financial prowess, but also for its large number of tropical resorts, sunny beaches and many delicious fruits that are rarely found in the north.

After many years of development, the architecture in the Solon Resort Manor combines the advantages of the architectural styles of the mainland countries, forming the architectural style of the most beautiful aristocratic villas that are now recognized.

Although the cost is at least 30% higher than the ordinary Northland style, but imagining the effect after completion, Donald feels that it is very worthwhile, anyway, he is not short of money now, and he will build the best if he wants to build.

In Donald's view, this architectural style is very similar to the seaside villas in the tropics of the previous life, and the function is mostly focused on ventilation and moisture protection. He put forward his own opinions on this, and asked the Dona scholars to make some changes to the design sketches, removing some ornate and useless decorations, strengthening the overall structure, and adding some European style arrangements from previous lives.

And Donald had Donald scholars enlarge the foundations of the villa by at least five times deeper. It didn't matter if it was a little more expense, it was all for the sake of the overall stability of the building, as well as enough space for the basement and his future alchemy laboratory, etc.

Since you want to build a villa, try to build it perfectly, although all kinds of houses in this world look very classical on the outside, but they are not as comfortable to live in as the rural bungalows of the previous life. So Donald couldn't help but bring the things of his past life into the world.

Then Donald put forward some requirements for the internal structure, which was nothing more than a running water system, an indoor toilet, and space reserved for the necessary facilities of a previous villa, such as a swimming pool, garage, cold storage, and basement.

For some designs that are too advanced in this world, Donald doesn't plan to circulate them yet, so as not to attract the attention of those who care. So he didn't specify in the blueprints what exactly the blank spaces he left behind were for. It was also intended to hire workers from different chambers of commerce to complete the construction of these facilities, so that the situation of the villa would not be leaked out.

With so many blank plans, Donald had signed contracts with the Chamber of Commerce and the architects, and had notarized them at the Temple and the Administrator's Office of the Noble Council, specifying that some of the design ideas in his villa could not be disseminated to other buildings through the employer.

This is also a patent right from another world in disguise!

The Dona scholar was obsessed with some of Donald's otherworldly ideas, but the thought of that contract made his teeth itch with hatred.

A few days passed quickly, and the three farmers were in charge of each of the three farms, taking care of everything in them. Crops have begun to be sown and livestock have been sized.

And the blueprint of the main body of the villa also came out, in which Donald pointed out several omissions and undesirable points, and then formalized the drawing, ordering the workers brought by Dona to start construction.
