Elkeson presided over the construction of Flame Mushroom processing workshop, and worked hard for Curly Blessing every day.
Granney devoted himself wholeheartedly to the production of Sea-Settling Divine Pearl.
Gortai and other officials presided over the autumn harvest work of Flower Town.
The civilians in the town also joined the harvest team, harvesting Wheat, Barley, rye, leveling wasteland, picking wild fruits, sorting vegetables, and collecting Tulip capsules. After autumn, there will be a long Frost winter, and all crops will stop growing throughout Flower Town.
"Sir, this is the Dragon Sunflower newly picked today." The butler Carter brought over a plate of small dark fruits.
With Black Nightshade Bug's support, Dragon Sunflower's output has increased dramatically, and he can harvest a plate of fruits every day. This stuff tastes really good, but it doesn't feel good if you eat too much. Liszt only tastes it occasionally, and the rest is given to his subordinates.
Since the outbreak of Thorn Bug.
Black Nightshade Bug becomes the most useless one Elf Bug.
In fact, the output of Dragon Sunflower is low and cannot be sold in batches. It can only be used as a condiment to improve the taste.
However, with the example of Thorn Bug, Liszt will not despise Black Nightshade Bug. Who knows one day, Black Nightshade Bug will have a big outbreak and trigger a set of serial tasks, evolving into Dragon Sunflower Little Elf.
"You should also try it together."
"Thank you, sir."
After eating a few Dragon Sunflower fruits, Liszt asked, "It's almost October now, and winter will come in two months. Have you started stocking up on food in the warehouse and starting preparations?"
"I have entrusted Captain Harpagon and Captain Shylock to be ready at any time to acquire the newly harvested Wheat."
"Wheat alone is not enough. We have to start purchasing corn, beans, salt, sugar, etc. Even in winter, I don't want the food conditions of the castle to decline." Liszt is not willing to wrong himself. "I will inform consultant Gortai to build a warehouse near the castle specifically to store supplies for the winter."
Suddenly.
What did he think of, "By the way, remember to remind me that we will hire someone to build an ice cellar at Flower Town."
"Okay, sir."
Saltpeter is indeed very convenient to make ice. You can get it on demand and it can be recycled. But unfortunately, it will cause wear and tear during use. Now, of the more than 300 kilograms of saltpeter powder, only more than 260 kilograms are left, a total loss of nearly 40 to 50 kilograms. After another year and a half, there will be no way to make ice.
I can't find any new saltpeter mines even if I try to find them.
Therefore, in the final analysis, we still need to dig a large ice cellar and store the winter ice for use in the coming year.
Warehouse, ice cellar, falcon house, doghouse, Dog Prison (Earth Wife), Apple tables, stables, clam shells, Liszt discovered that the castle that should have been independent on the hillside and surrounded by green grass was almost surrounded by various illegal buildings.
"No, the warehouse and ice cellar have to be built far away; the dog kennel will be moved to the gate of the castle; the falcon platform can be moved to the top platform of the castle to build a third floor in the form of a loft. The Apple table, Apple tree, and clam shells can be regarded as scenery, but the stables will have to be moved farther away."
The reason why open space should be reserved around the castle.
The purpose is to arrange a safe area where the body cannot be hidden to prevent assassins from entering covertly.
"Not only must the illegal buildings be moved away, but a circle of green hedges must be planted, and a moat must be dug. If financial and material resources permit, the castle walls must also be reinforced, especially the main entrance. It is best to build a bridge-type gate."
Depending on the terrain of the castle, the gate can be built at a very high position and then connected to the outside with a bridge. People can walk directly under the bridge.
This makes it difficult for the attacking side to charge a large number of knights at the same time, thereby ensuring that the castle will not be captured in a short time.
Time to win friendly support.
Speaking of which, Flower Town is unlikely to be attacked. After all, Liszt is the son of the earl, and the blood of the Tulip Family is the flag on this island. But if you encounter pirates, if the pirates insist on attacking, a castle with complete fortifications can save lives.
"If you want to carefully complete the castle, you need a lot of money. I am indeed very rich, with fixed assets worth tens of millions... But with working capital, even with the support of the seafood business, I still can't make ends meet. It's a headache."
A castle that can have its own name.
At least it must be able to support the independent living conditions of the castle. It must have sufficient food, strong defenses, and water sources. Tulip Castle, which is built on a cliff, has a fountain. Even if it is besieged by soldiers and horses, it can last for at least half a year or even a year. In this regard, the castle of Flower Town is very lacking.
There was no water source, so water had to be fetched from wells in the town.
"Should we find an opportunity to sell some mithril, crystals and jade? Then we can get a few thousand gold coins!"
The high-value items he can sell to the outside world are a box of Magic Power metal mithril, a box of Dragon Mine crystals, and a box of Magic Power stone and jade.
And there are only a dozen Black Pearl left.
Black Pearl has extremely high value, especially the Black Pearl with the large basin and basketball, which is a powerful navigation weapon. The smaller Black Pearl can also be made into personal defense accessories. It is not cost-effective to sell them now, as clams are not often seen.
Especially such a big clam.
The remaining mithril, crystals, and jade were all good things with a price but no market, and he was also reluctant to sell them.
"Forget it, don't think about this anymore. It's not time for me to lie down and enjoy it yet."
"We still have to fight!"
As I thought about it, I became enthusiastic and couldn't stay in the castle.
He simply took Retainer Knight and the increasingly powerful Dousen and wandered around - went to Dog Prison to see Earth Wife who looked pregnant, let Dousen be affectionate with it; go to Dairy Farm to see the three pregnant cows, and touch the belly of the cow, which is most likely the calf of Dragon-Blooded Dairy Cow.
Go to the Fruit-Stealing Monkey training ground of Oyster Hamlet and see the very obedient Fruit-Stealing Monkey climbing a tree to pick Fragrant Coconut, as well as three female monkeys with swollen bellies.
Go to Wheat Hamlet to see the 12 big fat pigs in the pig farm. By winter, these big fat pigs will be slaughtered for meat.
There is also the growth status of each Elf Bug grass.
This day is over.
Turn around again.
Three days passed in a blur again.
There has been no news about the new breed Bramble yet, so Liszt has been cooperating with Elkeson to train Curly Blessing. Curly Blessing, who had not eaten or drank for three days, had become hoarse from screaming, could not sleep, and his eyes were red. After seeing Liszt, his screaming was particularly fierce.
"Gaji!"
"Gaji!"
The handsome appearance had disappeared, leaving only a large fat bird with messy feathers. After calling for a long time, Liszt did not feed it any food. Curly Blessing seemed to have lost strength and fell down from the falcon platform.
Liszt was just about to go up and help it.
Elkeson stepped forward to stop it. "Liszt Baron, now is a good time to break Curly Blessing's mind. Don't interrupt, otherwise you will have to waste more time."
"It looks like this and it hasn't surrendered yet?"
"No, it didn't lower its head. This doesn't count as surrender."
"Okay, you continue to suffer." Liszt shook his head, glanced at Curly Blessing who got up from the ground, turned around and went out. After walking a long way, Curly Blessing's screams could still be heard vaguely in his ears.
"Gaji..."
