Chapter 21 Discussion of countermeasures
In the evening, Li Yan woke up, it was already a little dark at this time, Li Na and they were all back, in order to save some supplies, Li Na and they generally don't go out at night, even if they don't use magic stones to illuminate, just use torches or oil lamps, that also need oil, and now they have to save every bit of materials.
When Li Yan woke up, it was already a little dark, those slaves had already eaten, and there was a period of time left until they went to bed at night, they could move freely in the castle, anyway, there was no need to worry about them escaping, just let them relax.
Now the slaves were sitting in the courtyard of the castle and talking, and they lived a paradise life here compared to other places, where they could eat every day, not have to do too much heavy work, and have enough rest every day, and they liked it so much.
Ben came here, they are still a little desperate, what is the situation here on the Loess Plateau, although they are slaves, they have also heard that nothing grows here, only a barren mountain, and next to the Yunmeng swamp, such a place is a dead place, they have always thought that when they reach this kind of place, they will definitely starve to death in the future.
But they didn't expect that although they had only been here for two days, they could clearly see that their master was really too capable, and he could use magical magic to turn those black soil that could not grow things into fertile fields, so that they would not have to worry about starving to death in the future.
These people are just slaves, they have seen people use magic there, and in their imprints, magicians are omnipotent, magic is magical.
The living conditions are better than before, and the attitude towards them as civilians can get rid of the temptation of slave status, and with the addition of magical magic, these things add up enough to make these slaves loyal to Li Yan, and invisibly, a great cohesion has been formed, and now these slaves are no longer working passively, but are bent on working more and getting rid of the identity of slaves as soon as possible.
Li Yan stood quietly in the castle and looked at the slaves outside, he wanted to go up and chat with these slaves, but he also knew that now was not the time, these slaves had been oppressed, and when they saw the nobles, they would be very nervous, let alone chatting with them, for fear that they would kneel there again and dare not raise their heads.
It's easy to change a person's identity, but it's hard to change their minds, it's a long-term process to change their minds little by little, so Li Yan hasn't been in contact with those slaves now, and the time is not yet.
If you are too aggressive, things will fail, and even if you succeed, you may have an unstable foundation.
Undoubtedly, the completion of the land reform and the hope of freedom from slavery filled the lives of these slaves with hope, and they were not as dead as they had been when they first arrived.
Li Yan likes to see the performance of those slaves like this, only those who are full of hope can be creative and give full play to their abilities.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and Li Yan came back to his senses and said in a deep voice: "Come in." ”
The door was pushed open, Zhao Xuan stood in front of the door, looked at Li Yan and said, "Young Master, dinner is ready, it's time to eat." Tie Dan and Dog Dan were still standing outside the door, guarding the door for Li Yan.
Li Yan nodded, he also knew that it was almost time to eat, but Li Yan was really a little uneasy, Li Na and they had not only been busy managing those slaves in the past two days, but also cooking for him, which was really tiring.
But although Li Yan can cook, he doesn't dare to do it, don't forget his identity, he is now a man who can open his mouth for food and stretch out his hands for clothes, what kind of food will he make, he has spatial ability, which makes sense, after all, this is a continent where magic and fighting spirit coexist, what kind of strange people and strange people have it, his ability is not particularly conspicuous, but if he suddenly knows how to cook, it will arouse the suspicion of Li Na and Zhao Xuan.
When they arrived at the restaurant, they found that Li Na had already put all the food on the table, still bread and some vegetables, adding a piece of meat and a soup.
To be honest, a native Chinese really can't get used to eating this thing, but there is no way, even if Li Yan wants to eat Chinese food, no one will do it, only he will do it himself, but he dare not be depressed.
After eating a few bites, Li Yan spoke: "Grandma Li Na, I think today's things are too reckless, and we should not improve the land here tomorrow." ”
Li Na was stunned for a moment, looked at Li Yan puzzled, and said, "What's the matter, young master?" Why? Isn't it possible to improve the land? If we can't improve the land, what are we going to do? ”
Li Yan understood what she meant, and he immediately said: "Grandma Li Na, I think you misunderstood, it's not that I can't improve the land, but I can't improve it near the castle, you think, our strength is still too weak now, if those guys find out that we can turn this place into a cultivable land, will they let us go?" We'll be done then. ”
Li Na has also seen the big wind and waves, today she was just dazzled by the joy of improving the land, so she didn't think of these for a while, and now as soon as Li Yan reminded her, Li Na immediately understood what Li Yan meant, Li Yan said very right, if those old nobles of the empire find out that they can improve the land here, they will definitely come to deal with them, and then they will be finished.
Although the Carlin family has signed an agreement with the empire, it must be on the premise that the Carlin family has an heir, if there is no heir in a noble family, then the noble title of the family will be withdrawn by the king, and the fief or something will naturally be withdrawn.
The husband is not guilty, but he is guilty, which is exactly this truth.
Li Na put down her knife and fork, nodded and said: "What the young master said makes sense, we owe it to us, we just think about improving our lives, and forget that those old nobles may not just let us go, so what do you mean, young master?" ”
Now Li Na has paid more and more attention to Li Yan's opinion, because Li Yan has indeed done a lot of things in the past few days, and everything has been done clearly, coupled with his strange ability, unconsciously, Li Na and they have regarded Li Yan as the backbone.
Li Yan also put down the tableware, wiped his mouth lightly with a napkin, and then said: "The improvement of the land still has to be carried out, but it can't be improved around the castle, it is too conspicuous, as long as people come in and see it at a glance, it is too easy to be discovered, I want to find it, see if there is any place around, it is very hidden, and it can be improved, and it does not need to be too big, as long as there are more than 1,000 acres or so, it can almost meet the needs of our people here, so it is not easy to be discovered." ”
Li Na nodded and said, "What the young master said is very right, then tomorrow I will ask people to look for it and see if there is a suitable place around here, then young master, can we still raise blue-eyed rabbits and scaleless fish?" ”
Li Yan said in a deep voice: "Raise, must raise, anyway, scaleless fish are also very easy to raise, those people will not find anything, blue-eyed rabbits will be raised, they will only think that we are doing a dying struggle, and they will not care too much." ”
Li Na nodded and said, "Okay, but this water is a bit of a problem, I found that there don't seem to be any fish in our moat, even in the lake of the cave, this seems to be very wrong?" ”
Li Yan was stunned, it was the first time he thought of this problem, he was just an otaku before, not a professional fisherman, so he didn't notice this at first, on the contrary, it was Li Na, a magician of the water system, who noticed it.
Li Yan was a little puzzled, it stands to reason that there should be a lot of fish in the moat and the lake in the mountains, and there is no problem with the water quality, which he has already analyzed in the space, how can there be no fish?
Li Yan said to Li Na puzzled: "Grandma Li Na, do you know why?" There is no problem with the water, I have analyzed it, it is a very good water source, completely suitable for the survival of fish, but now there are no fish, this is a bit unreasonable, right? ”
Li Na frowned, and said after a while: "Generally, there are no fish in the water, there are only two possibilities, one is that this water is poisonous and not suitable for fish to survive, and the other is that there are fierce water-based demonic beasts in the water, and they have eaten all the fish. ”
Li Yan thought about it carefully, and also felt that what Li Na said was very reasonable, he remembered that when he was on Earth before, he had read a news that a fisherman's fish pond had two very strong carnivorous fish, and as a result, he had eaten all the fish in his pond, there may be that kind of demonic beast here, if this is really the case, it will be a troublesome matter.
Li Na saw Li Yan frowning, she knew what Li Yan was thinking, Li Na comforted him: "Young master, in fact, this is not difficult to solve, if the water is poisonous, we will not be able to solve it, if there is a demonic beast in the water, then as long as we find out the demonic beast, kill him." ”
Li Yan smiled bitterly, his thoughts were just the opposite of Li Na, if it was poisonous in the water, he could easily detoxify it with space water, but if there were demonic beasts in the water, it would be really troublesome.
Li Na looked at Li Yan's still frowning face, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Young master, don't worry, if there is really a demonic beast in the water, I will definitely find it out and kill it, and it won't affect the young master's fish farming plan." ”
Li Yan couldn't help but be stunned when he heard Li Na say this, and then he suddenly understood, this is not the earth, on the earth, if you want to go down to the sea to kill a deep-sea beast, it is not so easy, but this is the Tianyuan Continent, there is a very powerful magic here, and Li Na happens to be a powerful water magician, maybe he really has a way to destroy the demonic beasts in the water.
