The first circle of defense system is being established, this is a huge project, to surround the entire Orson Manor, it is impossible to complete it in a short time, we must be prepared for a protracted war.

The first crop has been harvested smoothly under the care of the Tree Man, and under the care of the Tree Man, an authoritative professional plant care worker in the Aris continent, the harvest of rice and glutinous rice is exaggeratedly good. The harvest of each plant is three to five times that of the dwarf's planting, and the eyes are so red that it is unfair to cry out.

In the first season alone, more than 44,500 kilograms of rice were harvested, and nearly 10,000 kilograms of glutinous rice were harvested. The whole Orson Manor cheered and celebrated, finally it was no longer a barren place!

At such a harvest, others smiled, but Xu Zheng and Lu Ther couldn't laugh. One is the current owner, and the other is the current number one housekeeper, both of whom are staring at the records on the paper and worrying.

Xu Zheng said: "How much grain do we have in total?"

Ruther sighed, "The harvest of the Treants, with the aid of the gnomes and elves, is close to 120,000 kilograms. ”

Xu Zheng lowered his face: "We have a population of more than 13,000 ......"

Ruthor also looked pained: "Orcs and dwarves are very good at eating...... New seeds have to be selected from these 120,000 miles, and less than 120,000 kilograms can be eaten. Xu Zheng, the days of being able to eat will not be too long, and soon everyone will stare and drink the northwest wind. ”

"I know. Xu Zheng said depressedly.

Ruther piled up the records and said, "It seems that relying on self-sufficiency in a short period of time is still no longer realistic. The last way out is to find trade routes, open trade routes, and obtain food from the outside world. ”

Xu Zheng nodded, he thought the same way. The problem is that there are only Elf City and Dwarf Island nearby, and the elves are already helping to eat for free. The same is true for gnomes, so there is no question of trading with them. And the nearby human cities, due to their arbitrariness. In addition, it was cut off by the elven territory, and there was no possibility of trading until the appearance of long-distance transportation.

Seeing that Xu Zheng was hanging his head in contemplation, Lu Se said tentatively: "I have a proposal

Xu Zheng's mind was not slow, and he raised his head and said, "Watchtower?"

"We thought of a piece. Ruther said, "It seems to be the only window door we have to the outside of Orson Manor at the moment. The Blue Silk Land Starlight Song and Dance Troupe is stationed there, and it seems that it has also broken out a little prestige. Why don't you figure it out there. Take what we produce and exchange it for what we need?"

Xu Zheng nodded: "Blue brought one million gold coins, and the teacher brought another million, in addition to the salary used, there is quite a lot left." You can use it to buy food. Moreover, there can be no endless mining around the Orson Manor, and soon our building materials will not be enough to consume. The only way to get them from them is through trade. ”

Ruthor said, "Yes. If the Watchman is functioning properly, it will at least solve the problem greatly. ”

Xu Zheng said: "However, in addition to gold coins and paper, gold coins can be bartered for money, paper can be bartered, food can't be moved at all, you can't eat enough, and there is a considerable lack of things to exchange." I've thought about building a hotel where you can eat, stay and play, but it seems to be a drop in the bucket. The root cause of the problem cannot be solved. ”

"Trinity Hotel?" asked Ruther curiously.

Xu Zheng paused for a moment, and then realized that the people of the Aris Continent had no concept of the full-service service method provided by star-rated hotels, so he talked about it.

After hearing this, Ruther slapped his thigh excitedly and said, "This is good, as long as there are stable people to come, it is guaranteed to make a lot of money!"

Xu Zheng said: "Look, it's back to square one." Earned money. How do we get what we need? There are too few varieties and not many quantities. ”

Ruther chuckled, "You don't think about that as well as I did. Don't forget. We are a multi-ethnic settlement. Come, come, I'll tell you what we can all produce. Needless to say, the continent of Aris is full of human races, and if the things produced are not treasures, there is not necessarily anything unusual. .... However, we have dwarves who are good at mining, and the associated boutique mines are not a problem for them. Not to mention the fine gear they build. Dwarven women are also very good at making leather armor, and their workmanship is excellent, and their physical defense is higher than that of the elves. The dwarf tribe is good at making all kinds of strange things, and it must be very easy to sell. The elves have all kinds of exquisite handicrafts, the carpets they weave, and the essential oils they refine are unparalleled in the world. Orc...... Uh, skip, they're a mess in production. And our friends we haven't met, cavemen, we can trade tools for their mushrooms, and then take the mushrooms for other places. The mushrooms they grow, no one in the Aris continent can compare with their variety and level, which is also a specialty of Orson Manor, because they only trust dwarves and are slowly accepting you. ”

After a pause, he said with a glint in his eyes: "Before this, can anyone else buy dwarven things except through abnormal channels? No." Can you buy elf stuff? No. Can you buy a dwarf? I don't think I've even seen it! But all of this is possible with us. Because we are a multi-ethnic Orson estate!"

Let Lu Se dial a little, Xu Zheng's thoughts suddenly opened, and he said excitedly: "We can build a blacksmith workshop in the manor, no, the scale should be larger, and we can build a factory directly!" Build a gnome machine factory, produce all kinds of props, tools, and even dwarf flying machines can be sold! I can make wine, and the elves also make good wine, so I can build a distillery. Ha, all kinds of industries are waiting to be prospered! Now you don't have to worry about the money you can't spend, you will only worry about the money you don't have enough money to spend!"

Ruther smiled: "Step by step, according to my idea, the main goal is still to focus on residential housing and road paving, and other production facilities can only be placed behind these." ”

"Yes. Xu Zheng said: "Everything is based on life! It's so decided, and tomorrow I will find you to study and study in detail." ”

He turned his head to look at Ruthor and said with a smile: "Hey, big butler, it's amazing!

Ruther smiled happily and said, "Thank you! Thank you!"

The two looked at each other, stretched out their palms, struck each other, and then laughed together.

Ruther laughed and coughed, and sighed contentedly: "Such a day is so happy! I used to always calculate people, but now I am planning for myself and the people around me, and I feel that this kind of life is truly full and happy." To be honest, although catching the little orc now makes me feel guilty in my heart, I don't regret it at all. If it weren't for this, I wouldn't have found an opportunity to live in Orson Manor. ”

"Hey, you're justified. Xu Zheng laughed.

Ruther glared, "Of course I didn't pay attention. I just feel blessed and blessed with my good fortune. ”

Xu Zheng chuckled: "This can only show that you are not a bad person in your heart." When I saw that the three of you brothers were so willing to defend each other, I knew that you were not a bad person. Where can a person who will lay down his life for the sake of those who cherish him be sent?"

Ruther was warm in his heart, but he deliberately concealed it and laughed: "Beware that I ran away with the money!"

"You won't. ”

"Why?"

"Because you can't give up on me, you can't give up on everyone, you can't give up on Orson Manor. It's home, and it's home, doesn't it?"

Lu Se glared at Xu Zheng, smiled lightly, and said, "Of course." Today, even if someone kicks me out of Orson Manor, I will be on my knees crying and begging to stay. Hey, I love it here. ”

"Who is willing to drive you? You are the most powerful Tianzi No. 1 housekeeper. If you want to leave, it's going to be me on your knees crying and begging for you to stay. ”

"Come on, this sycophant is too hard to bear. ”

Xu Zheng sneered: "Who filmed you? Don't forget that you still have half a year's salary and can't receive a penny." ”

"I don't care!" Ruther laughed, "I'm a little worried about Adam and Vic, who are always following me as henchmen, and I'm worried they'll be unhappy." Well, in fact, they are not unhappy, but my two brothers don't seem to play to their strengths, and I feel uncomfortable. ”

Xu Zheng patted Lu Tser's shoulder and comforted: "I was born to be useful." With your good brother caring and loving, no matter what they do, they will be happy. If it were me, I would do whatever I could for my family and friends. Besides, Adam likes to learn alchemy, and I'll go and tell Mr. Forrester to let Adam learn with him, and I think he'll like it. As for Vic, he could consider evaluating the Defender, or continuing to be his warrior and going out on an expedition with Kano's adventure party or something. I'm homesick, I'm missing you, I'll go back to Orson Manor, hey, this home will open the door for everyone in Orson Manor!"

"That's good. Ruther smiled: "I won't be false with you, please help me say a lot of good things for Adam in front of the old master, even if he is not qualified to be a disciple of the old master, please take care of it and satisfy Adam's hobbies." Vic, this person is too real-eyed, so I'm more at ease by myself. I can't see him being wronged. ”

"I know, I know, it's so red-eyed, why haven't I seen you so good to me?"

Ruther smiled again and said, "I'm not good to you, I'm not telling you lies, you're the third person I've really put in my heart after Vic and Adam." ”

Xu Zheng suddenly closed his mouth and smiled wryly: "Uh...... To be honest, I was impressed. Hey, would you like a hug?"

"Get out!"

Xu Zheng laughed and ran out in a hurry.

"What are you going to do?"

Without looking back, he called: "I'll arrange it." ”

Ruther shook his head amusedly: "Aren't there three heralds in Balil...... This kid will never grow up......"
