Hearing the maid's greeting, Kant was slightly stunned: "Good morning?"
Turned to look out the window.
It was bright, but not as bright as noon or afternoon.
"Dang-dang-dang-dang..."
The dull bell rang.
It is the bronze bell that is being struck to tell the time.
After thinking for eight times, it means that it is exactly eight o'clock in the morning, and it is not considered morning, but it can be regarded as morning.
"This..." Kant was a little stunned.
This seems to be no different from the time when I just came to the room to sleep.
Did he just sleep for a short time
Kant was puzzled.
The pretty maid pursed her lips and smiled slightly, and explained to Kant: "My lord, you have slept for a day and a night, and now it is the morning of the next day. I think you must be very hungry. Please fill your stomach with these desserts first." .”
In the tray, there are desserts similar to yesterday.
But it was steaming hot, and obviously freshly prepared, with a dusting of dried date palms, and it looked very inviting.
"one day one Night."
Kant rubbed his hungry stomach and got out of bed.
There was a stiff feeling of lying down all over his body, he twisted his neck, sat on a chair in his pajamas, and ordered these pretty maids: "Tell the kitchen to prepare breakfast, I am very hungry now."
"Yes." A maid immediately turned around and conveyed.
There was dessert on the table, and Kant stuffed a few pieces.
It's really mainly to satisfy hunger. Regarding sweets, he doesn't like to serve them as a main meal, even if the price of this kind of food is slightly heavier.
This is a long-established eating habit.
In the Lion Principality, the food is mostly salty meat products.
Although there are also desserts, most of them are honey. Items such as white sugar and brown sugar have never appeared. After all, to obtain such sugar products, sugarcane, a plant with high sugar production, is needed.
But the Lion Principality has no sugar cane.
In Kant's impression, such a thing as sugar cane has never appeared.
Just like camels, livestock, have never been recorded in the human kingdoms of this world.
For example, when Kant and Manide led the camel team to Jianshi Pass, they attracted a lot of curious eyes, but most of the soy milk camels were used as alternative large-scale pack horses. So curiosity quickly turns to ignorance.
Among the horse breeds, the most precious are naturally war horses. As long as a country has a large number of war horses, it can form a large and powerful cavalry unit. It is the trump card on the battlefield and can easily determine the situation on the battlefield.
As for the horse breed that is beneficial to people's livelihood and can only carry goods, it is not considered at all important.
This is the difference between the two worlds.
After all, not even the crystal wall system is the same, and even the basic laws are fundamentally different.
At least there are no camels and sugar cane in this world. In comparison, there are no demons, spells, gods, etc. on the earth.
Soon, the pretty maids brought the breakfast.
Fried steak, fried eggs, fried fish, and unknown tender wild vegetables, small bunches of edible berries.
And porridge and toast, and dates.
The food is plentiful.
It can also be seen from this that the Sanwaya Mountains are stepping into the right direction and have begun to supply some supplies to the sentry oasis, such as these delicate wild vegetables and berries, which were brought back by the camel caravan.
Uprooted, temporarily transplanted into wooden pots, watered and transported back, can guarantee half a month of vitality.
If you are lucky, you can also plant them in the shade of date palms.
The shade of the tree can block the sun, and the running water in the canal can nourish these edible wild vegetables and berry bushes. Due to the load capacity of the camel caravan, although the number of transplanted ones is small, it can supply Kant, the lord, with three meals a day. Enjoy hard-won greens and fresh berries.
Just like Kant now, enjoying the delicious food.
Fresh and tender lamb chops, well-fried whole fish, and berries and wild vegetables as side dishes.
It tastes great.
Kant was stunned, this was even better than before he left.
After taking a bite of the baked soft and crispy bread, mixed it with fried eggs and swallowed it, Kant turned to the maid who was waiting beside him and asked, "Are professional chefs in charge of the current kitchen?"
"You are right, my lord."
The maid next to him showed a sweet smile, and replied respectfully to Kant: "The three chefs and seven assistant chefs in the ruling hall are all full-time chefs trained by the craftsmen's guild."
"Well, that's pretty good." Kant nodded.
And the maid added: "Even the chefs in the tavern and the barracks are full-time chefs trained by the craftsmen's guild. Now the quality of food in the castle has improved a lot. Compared with the food cooked by our aunts , it’s much more delicious.”
"So that's the case." Kant chuckled, it seemed that this was a full-time staff recruited and trained by Fatis after leaving.
Artisan guilds can cultivate all kinds of talents.
Especially handicraft talents, whether blacksmiths, tailors, chefs, salt cookers, or tanners, can be trained, so that ordinary civilians who do not have any skills before can become the pillars of jobs that are urgently needed in all walks of life.
That's what chefs are.
But more are the talents of weapons workshops, blacksmith shops, salt workshops and sugar workshops.
The current "Drehem" castle has produced 500 bags of salt per week from the original 200 bags, and the monthly profit has reached 25,000 large silver coins.
Thanks to the purchase of more dromedary camels to form a caravan, more coarse salt can be transported back.
But more thanks to the excellent salt workers who can make up for the loss.
25,000 large silver coins per month, which was considered a terrifying number by Kant at the time, if it could be converted into dinars, it would make him laugh so hard that he couldn't find his way!
Unfortunately the currency cannot be exchanged.
Can only be exchanged for dinars by exchanging for gold.
So Kant sent Manid to Stone Pass to inquire about the price of gold, a precious metal.
Now he has accumulated close to more than 100,000 large silver coins. If they are converted into gold, according to the rough price Kant knew, he should be able to have 1,000 golden eagles, this kind of country-to-country currency.
Similar to a large check, it is not circulated outside, only among high-ranking nobles and countries.
But if you have the money you can still buy it.
Kant only sent Manid to secretly probe.
If you can get a golden eagle, then you can know the price of these golds and how many dinars can be converted into, so that Kant can know how to make money quickly in the future, and how to exchange a large amount of dinars is convenient.
After eating breakfast quickly, the hunger in my stomach disappeared suddenly, bringing a kind of satisfaction.
The pretty maid quickly cleared the table.
Kant walked towards the top floor.
The executive hall has 6 floors, and the scenery on the top is very good, overlooking the entire castle.
And if you want to overlook your sentry oasis and Nalun Desert, you can also go to the 40-meter-high advanced watchtower to look at the surrounding scenery, which is even more magnificent and spectacular.
But Kant did not go to admire the scenery.
He went to the apprentice dormitory.
This is the basic building of the mage's tower in the Ernfas Empire, where apprentices live and rest.
Since Kant extracted this building, it has also been combined with the governing hall. It costs 50 dinars per week to allow the recruitment of 1 mage apprentice who has mastered basic spells.
Kant came to the apprentice dormitory, the exquisite patterns carried the mystery and the grace of the Enfas Empire.
His thoughts communicated with a certain golden card in his mind.
"System, use the rule card!"
Kant gave an order in a deep voice.
A dialog box pops up instantly on the retina in front of my eyes.
[Ding... system prompt]
[Double recruitment (constant) has been used.]
[Apprentice Dormitory: The number of weekly recruits has increased to 2.]
The golden card suddenly shattered into pieces, and the data flow gathered in the apprentice dormitory in front of him. The rules of this building were changed, although not much, but there was a qualitative improvement.
This is an upgrade Kant had already planned.
After solving this problem, he came to the edge of the top floor of the governing hall.
Vekia Marksman is on guard.
Seeing Kant coming, they all bowed respectfully and saluted: "My lord."
"Um."
Kant nodded.
The castle in front of him was planned neatly, and the roads and buildings were like a chessboard. They were clearly organized and pleasing to the eye. The distribution of military areas, residential areas, and handicraft areas was reasonable, with a sense of symmetry.
This is his castle.
Turning to the Vikia sharpshooters standing guard, he asked, "Have you noticed any abnormalities?"
"No, the castle is very peaceful!"
The Vekia marksmen quickly replied: "Everything is peaceful!"
"very good."
Kant showed a smile on his face: "Be more vigilant."
"Yes!" The sharpshooters answered firmly.
Just as Kant continued to look at other areas, a caravan of 20 camels came in at the city gate on the east side, and the people around stepped aside one after another, condescending and conspicuous.
"Manid is back."
Kant understood in his heart, turned and walked towards the stairs.
Manid should be able to bring back a lot of good news this time, well, or bad news.
After all, Kant agreed to open trade at the central post station. Any caravan can enter the post station to trade. There will definitely be a lot of nobles and businessmen who will get the news, as well as the Baron Dylan.
Baron Dylan of Stone Pass regards Kant's sentry oasis and salt mines as forbidden.
Post station trade is now open.
Everyone can go to buy salt, but his profit is offended!
If there is no action, Kant will definitely not believe it, and Manid, who is trading and inquiring about news at Jianshi Pass, is definitely the first to bear the brunt. After all, everyone knows that this young man is actually Kant's commercial spokesperson.
Go back to the first floor of the governing hall and sit in your own lord's hall.
Manid walked in quickly after arranging the camel caravan.
"Thanks for your hard work."
Kant spoke first, and welcomed him with a smile, "I'm glad to see you back."
"Thank you for your concern, Lord Kant."
Manid stood still, bowed respectfully and saluted Kant.
"alright."
But Kant smiled lightly, looked at the tiredness on Manid's face and said: "It seems that you must have encountered some difficulties in the rocky pass, and you are usually not so serious."
