"Mission completed. Reward: a new variety of mushrooms."
"Mission: as a Knight, one not only needs courage and wisdom, but also enough life-saving ability to display the greatest significance of life. Please learn Markus' complete set of archery. Reward: black pearls from the deep sea. "
After the logging work on the Thorns Ridge Passage was completed, the smoke mission was updated in time.
A new variety of mushrooms was apparently growing somewhere in the shiitake settlement and was about to be discovered. Liszt had enough patience to wait.
"Black pearls from the deep sea, what are they?" He was somewhat confused. However, pearls on the market were not cheap. They were relatively popular accessories for aristocrats. Black pearls should be more valuable and could be sold for a lot of money.
Recently, he had been so poor that he could hardly afford to pay his wages. He was thinking about money like crazy.
"Learning archery from Markus was a plan that was put on the agenda a long time ago. Starting tomorrow, I will officially learn archery … Tomorrow doesn't seem to be possible. Markus has to go to the Coral City to pick up his family. Let's start the day after tomorrow. First, have the caravan go to Tulip Castle and help me buy a bow and arrows. "
On the Coral Island, only a few aristocratic families were allowed to sell weapons.
Liszt, on the other hand, didn't need to go to Tulip Castle to buy one. After all, he was a direct descendant of the Tulip family.
Early the next morning.
Under the leadership of Old Grandet, the newly formed Flower Town's caravan, consisting of three merchants, six coachmen, and seven assistants, set off for the Coral City with the castle's six old horses. On the backs of each batch of horses, there were a few packets of seafood, as well as a few pots and firewood. This was for cooking seafood on the spot.
Riding his yellow-gray horse, Markus followed the caravan and escorted it in passing.
The Knight squad's training course was temporarily handed over to retainer Knight Carl Hammerstein. He was the only retainer Knight who already had a sense of qi and was about to cultivate qi.
As for the other three retainer Knight, there was no sign of qi so far.
As for the Knight squad, the youngsters had eaten their fill during this time and trained hard. Their muscles had already begun to bulge. Phillip Wool and Xavier Cow Dung, who had the best physiques and had reached the standards of Knight Academy, had already begun to sense Qi and could cultivate Qi at any time.
Blair also went with the caravan to pick up his family and settle down in the Flower Town.
Gort and Isaiah, whose families were unwilling or inconvenient to come, continued to maintain the town's administrative operations. There was still a lot of work to be done. The roads were still being repaired, the oyster settlement's houses were still being built, the wasteland was still being reclaimed, and a new and important work had also begun to be planned.
"Teacher Gort, Isaiah, the town needs to be reorganized. Probably tomorrow, Markus and Blair's families will arrive. Arrange for their accommodation as soon as possible. They're all big families, so they can't continue to live in the administrative office. "
"Don't worry, Sir. I've already considered this last night. I've already rented two houses next to the administrative office for Markus and Blair's families to stay temporarily." Gort's tone became more and more respectful. He had already followed Liszt for the sake of his upcoming illegitimate child.
Following Liszt meant that he had become Liszt's subject.
It was no longer just an equal relationship of nobility and the friendship between teacher and student.
"I'm glad that you've thought of things ahead of me." Liszt was satisfied with Gort's current attitude, "Then let's continue with the town's plan. In about three months, a group of five hundred serfs and freedmen will settle down in the Flower Town. The settlements will have to build more houses and the town will have to be expanded. "
Gort already knew that Liszt wanted to sell slaves. He asked directly: "How will this group of commoners be distributed? How many serfs will there be? "
"If nothing unexpected happens, there will be four hundred serfs to supplement the settlements' farming. There will be one hundred freedmen, most of whom are craftsmen. As appropriate, some workshops will be planned in the town. "
A simple map of the town was spread out.
Liszt drew a horizontal line with his finger on the original only street and said: "We will build another road so that the town is laid out in the shape of a cross."
"This is not a small project. Three months may not be enough."
"Let's build it first." Liszt was not an expert. He could not accurately budget and long-term planning. He often did what he thought of, "The streets must be spacious. The four areas of the cross will be divided into the east, south, west, and north. The west will be planned as a commercial area. Later, the exchange and food market will be built."
The development of the social system in this world was very backward. The cities were more like densely packed dilapidated houses with no concept of a planned area.
But Liszt was not willing to do this: "The south will be planned as a workshop area. Later, mills, slaughterhouses, and blacksmiths will be moved to this area. The north will be a serf residential area and the east will be a free residential area. In addition, further west of the commercial area, near the castle, will be planned as an aristocratic residential area. "
It was very immoral to divide people into different classes.
But this was the social system. It was impossible for aristocrats to live with commoners, and freedmen and serfs could not be in the same pot.
After carefully thinking about Liszt's words, Gort couldn't help but exclaim: "Sir, your idea is really unique. It has opened my mind. It turns out that a city can be built in this way. In this way, no matter how far away a merchant is, they will still be able to find a place to do business. "
Isaiah was a little slow, but after listening to Gort's explanation, he also understood the benefits of urban planning: "It is also an eye-opener for me. The Flower Town will become a pearl of the Coral Island!"
Liszt smiled slightly: "Most importantly, more toilets must be built. I don't want to see anyone urinating and defecating in the town! Even if it is a three-year-old child! "
Immediately after, he added: "Hang signs in every shop, hang conspicuous signs in every toilet, and set up signs at the entrances to the roads. No matter who comes to the Flower Town in the future, they must abide by the rule of not urinating and defecating anywhere! "
He had a deep feeling about this.
Because just a few days ago, during the Out to the Sea Festival, the count's accompanying Knight had defecated more than a dozen times in the vicinity of his castle at noon!
For many Knight, this was a normal thing. If they wanted to defecate, they would do it.
But Liszt didn't allow it. He didn't want to stroll in the horse field and accidentally step on a pile of feces.
As natives, Gort and Isaiah didn't care about this. They had done things like urinating and defecating everywhere before. But Liszt had already ordered them to do so.
They nodded in agreement: "Sir, please rest assured. We will give top priority to the town's hygiene."
Liszt suddenly remembered something: "By the way, Isaiah, my Knight Squad's youngsters are illiterate. I hope to hire you as the Knight Squad's teacher to teach them common words. At the very least, they must be able to read. "There was no Knight College in the Flower Town, so he could only hire teachers.
