Chapter 37: Watermill (Ask for Recommendation Votes)
When Sylvie heard it, she was naturally moved, and she had a pretty face that wanted to speak and stopped, and Martin was a little frozen.
Martin can't get down to business.
Coughing slightly, he continued to explain: "Actually, the key to the matter is an attitude, a signal. The new Lorraine needed manpower, but not casual outcasts, but real people. β
Old Kuden understood on the spot: "Young master, what do you mean, as long as you are a talent, no matter what the situation, you will either?"
"Yes, whether it is a man, a woman, tall or short, fat or thin, an old man or a little one, as long as there is talent, we in Lorrainburg can give him a chance to get ahead. Martin affirmed.
This time, everyone understood.
Sylvie's ascension is a living example.
From Martin's perspective as a traverser, this is Martin's otherworldly version of 'Buying Horse Bone'.
Sylvie nodded heavily, "How many do we need?"
"In the first batch, I hope there will be no more than 1,000 people, preferably young and strong. I've calculated that with the available food, the limit for New Lorraine is 3,000 if it is to survive this winter. β
There is room to do things, and Martin's small detail was suddenly recognized by knights such as Kouden and Charlie, and many people have secretly nodded.
"Okay, what else do you have to say?" asked Sylvie.
Martin pondered: "Originally, I wanted to ask Your Majesty directly for money, but according to what I knew before, in fact, Your Majesty does not have much money......
Bakaria has always had a population explosion, and there are many places that need money.
Even if the king wanted to use money, he asked the interior officials to tear down the east wall and make up the west wall, and divert the funds from other places. Moreover, it has always been a tradition of Bakaria to hold a grand tournament, and of course this thing is also very expensive......
As soon as Martin said this, the knights looked a little bad on the spot.
They had made their fortune on this bounty, and now they suddenly said that His Majesty might also be a poor man, and they felt pain on the spot.
Come to think of it, the king had set a bounty on the orc's head before, and he really didn't think that someone would burn so many orcs to death with one fire.
If it was just a small fight of those adventure squads, how many orc heads could be harvested?
Although Martin helped the whole Bakaria to save a big disaster, it also added a problem to the king.
However, Martin immediately smiled: "As a courtier of His Majesty, I am still very considerate of Your Majesty. The bounty of my knights is absolutely not missing. Counting the part of the bounty on my head, Sylvie, you can ask Your Majesty to exchange it for supplies directly for me. For example, good war horses, armor, weapons. Well, thrift is fine, but at a discount. β
This time it was Sylvie's turn to force hard: "I understand the reason, but I can't do it in practice! I have never studied internal affairs, in case I ...... it."
The second half of this heroic female knight's sentence is, of course, "What if I get caught?"
Don't say that she doesn't want to do it, even if she does, Martin has to worry about the goods being sold and helping others count the money.
Suddenly, a man's face came to Martin's mind.
This is a fragment of memory from a previous owner.
Martin quickly recalled, and then let out a long sigh: "So, Sylvie, you go back to the royal capital, and before you meet Your Majesty, you have to find a way to find someone and pull him onto the ship of Lorrainburg." If he is willing to help, then Lorrainburg will have a super-strong interior officer. You can rest assured that all internal and commercial matters will be left to him, while you concentrate on recruiting talent for Lorrainburg. β
"Really?" Sylvie's eyes sparkled. Recruiting talent for the lord is a tough job. It can be a big drop of long face for her, and it can even become a material for her to be officially knighted one day.
"You helped me to invite him, which is the greatest contribution to Lorrainburg, and I will reward you with good things when you return. Martin patted Sylvie on the shoulder, then changed the subject: "It's quite difficult to find him, though. β
Sylvie crackled in a slang word for Bakaria, which probably meant going to the soup and going to the fire anyway.
Then Sylvie listened to Martin's instructions again, and ran off to get ready.
At this time, Kouden suddenly asked, "Wait, who is that internal genius you are talking about?"
A sly smile appeared on Martin's face: "None of the active home affairs officers are reliable. And most of the people who are willing to come to Lorrainburg are guys who want to make money. I'm talking about my classmate, the once-in-a-century genius of the School of Internal Affairs......"
This time, not only Kouden, but also Charlie and other knights had a constipated expression.
Martin sighed, if he could, of course he wanted to go back to the royal capital himself and get everything done.
Unfortunately, the new Lorrainburg has not yet been built.
I don't even have a stable nest, so why do you talk about going out to make trouble?
It's like a waterwheel. After defeating the orcs, the watermill is on the agenda. In Bakaria, no one would have built the watermill that Martin wanted. This kind of invention involving a time-traveler can only be done by Martin himself.
Three days passed, and the waterwheel was ready.
Seeing that the wooden waterwheel the size of a Ferris wheel could turn on its own under the washing of the river, pouring water from bamboo tubes into a higher waterway day and night, and then the second waterwheel was sent up to the new Lorrainburg highland dozens of meters high in the same way, the people and the knights were all dumbfounded.
"Divine skill! This is simply divine skill!"
"It's a miracle!"
"Praise to Lord Martin Lorraine!"
"Your wisdom shines across the Rick Riverβ"
The crowd bowed down to Martin.
On the continent of Kaos, it was quite inconvenient to get water in this era. Except for those cities that have fountains on the ground themselves, wells are often dug. The people laboriously fetched buckets of water from deep wells and brought them to their homes.
Now it's completely different.
On the highest elevations, the clear water of the river is carried directly by waterwheels to the plasterers' pools on the elevations, where they diverge into four parallel channels that run from east to west over the entire highlands and finally converge into the plasterers' overnight waterways, which run the slopes from the heights to the bottom of the heights.
It can be said that almost every household has access to clear water directly at their doorstep.
"Well, in the future, when the defense is done, we can build pools and even fountains along the waterways. Martin said casually.
Unexpectedly, when he said it casually, he received thunderous applause.
"Oh my God! Lorraine Castle will definitely become the most beautiful castle in all of Bakaria, no, in all of Kaos. β
