In his previous life, Ryan also used the winter and summer vacations to work the construction site, mixing cement or pinching it in his hands.

Under the puzzled and puzzled eyes of Delai and others, Ryan dug a pit in the cement pile in the open space and explained: "This thing is called cement, and it is a building material, which is mixed with a certain amount of water and stirred, and the hardness after air drying is comparable to that of stone.

If you add materials such as stone and river sand, its hardness can be increased by another level, and it is extremely hard, and it can be used not only as a binder, but also for paving roads, building houses, etc., which is very useful. ”

"Although it is fired from limestone, it has become a powder, and it can still have a hardness comparable to that of stone? Unlikely. ”

Delai looked left and right at the pile of cement, and couldn't imagine how this thing could be as hard as a stone.

"Okay, don't you know if you try it?" Ryan smiled and began to add water to the crater-like pile of cement.

After full stirring, as much as possible to expel the bubbles, and finally turned into a lump of plaster-like things, Delai shook his head, after wasting so much time and so much manpower and material resources, he made a whole thing?

Ignoring the constipated Delai, Ryan filled the mixed cement into a wooden box, intending to make it into a cement block to test its hardness.

The original cement sets slowly, often taking more than half a week, and it needs to be watered frequently in the process.

Ever since listening to Ryan's words, Delai has been running there from time to time, and he has restlessly poked a few pits on it with his fingers, and found that it is indeed slowly hardening, and he can't help but believe it a little.

After the cement block was almost solidified, Delai volunteered to test the hardness, and a large hammer was picked up by him and smashed on it, and for a time the debris flew and the cement block was smashed out of a small pit.

Delai's eyes widened in surprise, his strength was very clear to him, the ordinary stone must have been torn apart under this blow, but he didn't expect this pile of powder to solidify into a pile of fragments as he expected.

"This ...... Is it really made from the powder burned from limestone? It's a big rock. ”

Hans on the side was also very surprised, he didn't see Ryan mixing cement with his own eyes, and he was a little incredulous at the moment.

"Compared to the hardness of bluestone, it is even stronger if it is made of concrete, but its advantages are obvious, with it we can quickly build a fortress here, and it is not a problem to defend against ordinary demonic beasts."

Ryan patted the cement block, and was still quite satisfied, with which he could finally get rid of the evil dirt road.

Gathering a group of laborers, Ryan personally told them how the cement should be mixed, how to use it, precautions, etc.

In particular, it is emphasized that the cement should be kept dry, the lime should not touch the water, and attention should be paid to protecting the eyes.

Master Ryan taught in person, and they didn't even dare to breathe, and they didn't blink their eyes, for fear of missing something and making a mistake during construction.

…………

After explaining everything clearly, Ryan finally planned to return, but the person who was stationed here became a problem, after all, this place was in the Warcraft Mountain Range, and there must be extraordinary strength to sit in it.

Ryan and Xiyue didn't have to think about it, so the choice was only chosen from Delai and Hans, and after several trade-offs, he finally chose Delai to lead 500 soldiers and 500 civilians to garrison here.

This is also considering that Hans has just made a great achievement, so it is time to rest and rest, and then rotate for a while, and it is just right that you can regularly encircle and suppress low-level demonic beasts and train the army.

No matter how well you train, it's not as good as the effect of actual combat.

In order to facilitate contact and deal with emergencies, Xiyue left a letter bird there to maintain communication. After all this time, the two faith birds have been completely tamed by her.

……

When Ryan returned to Dorman City again, it was already more than half a month later.

In less than a month, it is time to plant rice seedlings, and the leaders along the way have begun to cut down the green cane that has encroached on the land under the leadership of the village chief and the town mayor.

During this time, Hevian also managed the territory in an orderly manner, and also offered a copper pound of green cane to cut down and buy the people back, and further expanded the sugar mill.

He is now the second-in-command of Dorman City, and Ryan did not hide it from him, and he has already told the secret of sugar pressing after taking over the government hall.

The large-scale construction and spring ploughing preparations are in full swing, and Ryan also feels that he is busy again, spring ploughing is the top priority, but he can't be sloppy.

Although supervised by officials, he still ran to various towns from time to time.

During that time, the people who were busy in the fields could often see their admired Lord Ryan squatting on the edge of the field with one or two retinues, watching them work.

Of course, Ryan is not idle and has nothing to do, he was also the son of a farmer in his previous life, and he is not proficient in farming, but he is not a so-called "city man", he is observing the cultivation methods and levels of this world.

In general, there is not much difference from the previous life, but there is no help from machinery, and there are not many ploughing cattle and iron farming tools, which leads to relatively low efficiency.

Looking at the farmers sweating in the fields, Ryan began to think about what tools could improve the efficiency of their farming, but unfortunately, although he knew a lot of modern agricultural equipment, he didn't have any of them now, after all, he couldn't even make electricity.

"Do you elves have any ways to increase food production?"

After thinking about it to no avail, he finally threw the problem to the bored Xiyue, who had recently felt that he had nothing to do except help him tame the wildebeest.

"We? It's very simple, just use extraordinary power. ”

Xiyue glanced at him and said as a matter of course.

Ryan: "......"

"Say something I can use."

"Hmm...... If you humans want to increase food production, you usually use the divine power of the Harvest Goddess, as long as you invite the priests of the Harvest Church to bless the land.

Of course, there are also those who use alchemy potions to increase production, but the price is much higher than hiring a priest. ”

In the end, she lived for a long time, although Xiyue herself didn't know anything about farming, but she knew about it quite clearly.

Ryan rubbed her brows with a headache, she seemed to have given a lot of solutions, but she seemed to have said a piece of nonsense.

The distribution range of the Harvest Goddess Church is far inferior to the Holy Light Church, at least according to Lane's understanding, there is no Harvest Goddess Church in the entire Linton County, there are many pan-believers, and almost all farmers believe in the Harvest Goddess.

Not to mention the alchemy potion, the alchemist is originally a rare species, and Liman is half of it, but he will also configure so many potions, and it is the same as not saying it.

"Well, I'd better think about how to get started with fertilizer."

Ryan stood up and walked away with his hands behind his back.

Just as he was thinking about how to increase production, a large team entered Canna's territory......

When they saw this team of hundreds of people, the officers defending the city were very confused, especially when they saw that the other party was still armed and carrying the banner of the Black family.

A young man on a tall horse turned over and dismounted, and said to him in an excited tone: "Hey, this gentleman, go and tell the Baron, that Madame and Mademoiselle have arrived." ”

When the officer defending the city was a little unsure, a big hand was placed on his shoulder, and when he looked back, it turned out to be the deputy commander Allen, and he was immediately relieved that he didn't have to ask for instructions himself.

Alan was patrolling the city wall just now, and he saw the Black Family Eagle Eye Banner raised high in the distance.

He knew that Ryan's mother and sister would come to the territory during this time, and when he saw this, he didn't understand that the person had arrived, so he hurried down to greet him.

He had also lived in Black's house for a while, and he had never seen the young man in front of him, so he couldn't help but say, "I'm the Knight Captain of the Canna Lord, Alan. Davis. Is it Mrs. Kaelin Mann and Miss Susan who have arrived? ”

"You're the Knight of Allen? Hey, I've heard of you, my name is Levi. Clinton, a cadet knight, and my mentor was Raheem Sterling. Nord. ”

The young man looked a little lively, and his tone of voice was also very cheerful, and from every point of view, he was a handsome guy.

Trainee Knight is a general term for officially embarking on the path of knightly cultivation, just starting to cultivate the Dou Qi method, not a real knight, he still has to go through the ghost gate of breaking through the junior knight.

"Fortunately."

Alan nodded, but his eyes fell on the team not far away, and sure enough, he found Sterling's figure next to a carriage, he knew that this was Ryan's sword master, and it seemed to him that their identities were fine.

At this time, a small head also poked its head out of the window of the carriage and waved at Allen.

Alan showed a smile, walked quickly to the carriage, and said respectfully: "I have met Mrs. and Miss, I have worked hard all the way, your arrival will definitely make Lei very excited, please allow me to lead the way into the city." ”

Susan is a lively character, and when she heard this, she smiled and said to Allen, "Susan wants to surprise my brother." ”

Kai Lin Man, who was sitting in the carriage, also lifted the curtain and said with a hint of exhaustion: "Then thank you so much Mr. Allen, the people who are with us are already very tired, and I hope to arrange a place for them to rest as soon as possible." ”

"Madame, rest assured, they are all family members of the soldiers, and Lei has already arranged a place for them to live." Alan smiled slightly, knowing that they were coming, Ryan had already ordered Hevian to vacate a place in the south of the city to settle them, they were all their own people, so naturally they couldn't be treated badly.

Alan greeted Sterling and the old butler De Man again, and then led the team into the city.

At the time of their conversation, Lane had already been informed, and when he heard the news, he didn't even care about his image, so he mounted his war horse and galloped towards the north of the city.

When he arrived, the team was only halfway there, and looking at the familiar and friendly faces, Ryan turned over and dismounted, and said happily: "Teacher, Steward Deman, it's great that you can come safely." ”

"It's thanks to Mr. Stirling along the way, otherwise we would have been in a bit of trouble."

Kai Lin Man got out of the carriage, looked at Ryan with a smile, and saw the extra temperament of a superior in her son, she was happy in her heart, this is what a nobleman should look like.

"Mother, Son......"

Ryan was about to meet his mother when a smaller figure rushed from the carriage into his arms at a great speed, a small head rubbing hard.

Fortunately, Ryan restrained the fighting spirit on his body in time, otherwise he would be injured if he bumped into it so recklessly.

"Susan, do you miss your brother?"

Rubbing the little head dotingly, he asked happily.

"Hmph, my brother is a big villain, and he sent a letter back in so long. I don't want you. ”

Susan raised her head arrogantly and looked at Ryan angrily, but the hand holding him did not let go at all, a typical hard-mouthed late-stage patient.

"Alright Susan, let's go back and talk about it, it's on the street." Kailinman smiled as the two siblings connected and the family was finally reunited.

"Hmph, I'll forgive you this time." Susan shook her head and returned to the carriage like a tsundere white swan.

It's really bad for so many people to be stuck in traffic on the main road, and they have a long journey, so they should rest as soon as possible.

A few soldiers were arranged to take the people behind him to the residential area divided in the south of the city, and he found that there were dozens of simple carriages in this team, and looking at the rut marks left by the wheels on the dirt road, it was obvious that they were loaded with things.

Seeing that Kai Lin Man didn't mean to say it for the time being, Ryan didn't ask much, and he and Alan personally led them to the castle and sent someone to arrange the huge carriage convoy before he asked, "Mother, what are these carriages filled with?" ”

"There is aid for you from His Majesty the King, who has given us a hundred experienced craftsmen, as well as three thousand Jindelek in exchange for supplies.

I didn't know what you wanted, but I listened to Mr. Stirling's advice and changed a hundred sets of armor, as well as a large number of bows and crossbows and weapons. ”

Ryan glanced at Sterling, who was standing silently behind, in surprise, and said happily: "The mentor's choice is correct, these are indeed the things I urgently need now." ”

Whether it is armor or bows and crossbows, they are extremely time-consuming and labor-intensive, and Kanna Collar can't produce them at all now, so this batch of equipment is very timely.

"In addition to the resources obtained from the sale of the territory and the kingdom, in addition to a large amount of cash and more than a hundred craftsmen, there are many blueprints and magic crystals and other things you need."

Ryan stopped when he heard this, looked at Karinman with some anticipation and said, "Then the sound ball I want?" ”

"I also got a set, and it was expensive." Kailinman nodded, in order to exchange for this thing, she found a lot of connections and paid a lot of benefits.

"The price is not the problem, the value it can play is the most important thing." Ryan shook his head nonchalantly, this thing is a guarantee for long-distance communication.

"In addition to that, a blueprint for the design of the ballista has been changed, which Mr. Sterling says is important to you."
