Chapter 191 Demonstration of a heated kang bed
Looking at the two identical iron keys in her hand, Li Mosi felt a pang of emotion.
Why are all the locks on this side the same style?
This is the weapon used by the slave-catching team, the weapon used by the Valos Knights, and even the weapons used by the Matica Knights and the Tufat Knights!
Who hit him?
From the original owner's memories, he only remembered that lock-making was indeed a rare craft, and the market was so small that it could be said to serve only lords.
Within Baron Talis, only the town's blacksmith knows how to make this.
Could it all have been made from him?
That's too lazy.
However, he was the only one who cared about the security of the lock.
"Now we can eat whatever we want in winter."
"Yes, the people will have no problem with food next year."
Ziyi and Zian were delighted with the harvest from the two estates.
The quantity of various items found in the main warehouse of Tufate's mansion was roughly the same as that found in the main warehouse of Valos' mansion.
Only the colors of the highest-grade fabrics have changed.
After all, both of them actually belonged to Baron Talis.
Only the storeroom in Matica's house had more spears.
Additionally, at Farol's suggestion, the group checked out the stables they had previously overlooked.
After all, there are no horses in it anymore, so there's not much point in watching it.
Although there were no horses left in the stables, there were still many small carts that the people could use on their own.
There were a total of forty-six carts across the three estates.
Although you can't pull too much stuff at once.
But it can at least provide some assistance to their work.
The trees that were cut down, the grass that was pulled up, and the tree stumps that were dug up today can all be transported back.
The oak trees in these woodlands are not tall, at most close to ten meters, but they can still be used as building materials.
The pulled grass can be taken along with the acorns from the woodland to feed the livestock.
With the small cart, tree stumps that originally required several people to move can now be pulled back by one person.
Besides the small cart, there were many other things he didn't immediately pay attention to.
For example, the clay piled up in the shed, the haystacks piled up in the corner, the vegetables planted on the ridges of the field, and so on.
These things are too varied.
If he hadn't taken over the Knights' Territory, he really wouldn't have known there were so many items available for supplies.
"Ugh."
Hearing the sigh beside her, Li Mosi turned to look at Hagi Saint.
The two looked at each other.
The saintess couldn't hold back any longer and spoke first.
"If I had known this place would turn out like this, I should have had the Vatican send soldiers to guard the forbidden area."
Then you'll probably never know the true situation here in your entire life.
Li Moss shook his head.
"There's no need to regret the past. Let's think about how to deal with the present. Baron Stern is still vacant. Baron Talis isn't far from here either."
The situations of the Matica Knights' Territory and the Tufate Knights' Territory are more abstract than those of the Valos Knights' Territory.
When it came to his own territory, the Knights of Valos could be described as simply taking what they could and running away.
However, what his steward and his soldiers did to the Tufate Knights could only be described as plunder.
The chickens and geese in the homes of the villagers were taken away, and the money and valuable, easily portable supplies in the homes of several craftsmen were also looted.
The blacksmith's house was so empty that all he had left was an anvil.
The coachman was taken away, but the cart maker was not.
The situation was even worse in the Knights Territory of Matica; the locals said they were directly attacked.
The resisting soldiers were killed on the spot.
Some houses were even burned down.
The coachman was still abducted, and the cartwright was also abducted.
It can only be said that Knight Valos valued the wheelwright more than the butler.
It's pretty outrageous anyway.
Li Mosi didn't know what to say, so she could only promise to work hard and that there would be meat for dinner.
Although they didn't get to eat it on the spot like the people of the Valos Knights, with Farol and his people sharing their experiences, and with hundreds of warriors present, they had no choice but to believe.
There were only three pregnant women in these two estates, and they were all sent to the main house to help with cooking.
I guess they've already seen the meat.
Incidentally, about ten people ran away from each of the two manors.
I just don't know where they went.
Li Moss could only say, based on his intuition, that he most likely ran to Baron Talis's territory.
Then he needs to pay even closer attention to his surroundings.
It would be fine if Baron Taliss sent his steward or some administrator with a dozen or twenty soldiers to loot the warehouses of these territories.
But what if he personally led his soldiers to loot...?
Even if he brings the soldiers guarding the house, it seems there are only about two hundred people.
There may be a price to pay, but it's not necessarily unmanageable.
"Sigh. If I were... sigh."
Li Mosi listened to Haji Saint's repeated sighs and became somewhat curious.
What if you do that?
If she could use divine magic, all the nobles in this area combined would be no match for her in a single move!
The saintess met Li Moss's gaze again.
"Craftsman, last time you... oh dear."
The connection was clearly restored when the craftsman asked her to plow the land last time!
But this time, when she said it, everyone thought she was a fool!
Li Mosi had no idea what Hagi Saint was thinking.
She frowned as soon as she opened her mouth, interrupting herself.
How would he know if she didn't tell him?
Like an idiot.
The Vatican is truly blessed to have such a saint.
Li Moss no longer looks at Haki Saint.
He looked up at the sky; the sun was already setting heavily in the west, and the woods were beginning to darken.
Farol walked a short distance in front of him.
"Sir, it's getting dark. Most of the people in our village are cursed; should we go back?"
Li Mosi didn't immediately grasp the logic behind it.
What's wrong? Are you going to turn into a vampire and bite people tonight?
What does it mean to be a cursed person?
Zi Yi had absolutely no idea about this.
They use this word to refer to someone who is sick.
These people didn't eat very well and looked rather thin.
But I haven't seen anyone get sick, have I?
Zi'an was also very curious.
Farol offered his answer.
"Farmers' families are cursed; once the sun sets and they are no longer under the protection of the god of light, they can see nothing."
Is that true?
Ziyi and Zian looked at Li Mosi.
is this real?
Li Moss frowned and asked, "Is there any way to get rid of this curse?"
He had barely seen any magic since arriving in this world, yet there were such widespread curses?
Hasn't the Vatican tried to solve this?
"this……"
Farol glanced at the silent saintess before continuing to speak.
"Eating animal organs can grant you their life force and lift the curse. Alternatively, being around blessed nobles like lords can also slowly lift the curse."
That's night blindness!
The original owner's memories didn't include this concept?
Li Mosi felt somewhat helpless.
He suddenly remembered what happened in the early hours of this morning.
The new tribesmen who followed him at that time also used the word "curse".
He was in such a hurry to take control of the knightly territory that he didn't think it through at all.
Looking back now, it was probably because I was busy eating the horse's internal organs the other day.
The night blindness of the new population improves immediately once a large amount of vitamin A is supplemented.
However, they brought mostly horse meat on this trip.
It seems it will take some time before the condition improves.
But it doesn't matter anyway.
Sixty tons of horse meat.
Eat up, eat as much as you want!
It's a pity that the local carrots are purple.
It's not a variety high in Vitamin A.
Li Moss nodded: "Then let's go back now. The livestock will still be managed by the shepherds. The people will all sleep in the open space in the main house's yard tonight."
The climate is still mild, so sleeping outside is not a problem.
As soon as they returned to the vicinity of the main house, everyone smelled the aroma of meat.
The people were filled with anxiety.
The people were astonished.
The people were overjoyed.
Seeing that they could actually eat meat, they thanked Li Mosi profusely, swore allegiance, and ate until they cried.
Li Mosi was numb.
He doesn't want to watch this anymore, he just wants to sleep!
But he can't sleep.
There are still tasks that haven't been completed.
"Chief, there are so many more people suddenly, we don't have enough food."
Upon hearing what the chef goblin said, Zi Yi reported the situation to Li Mosi.
Li Mosi was not surprised.
After all, they only brought three days' worth of food, and with the arrival of the newcomers, suddenly there were 60% more people who needed to eat.
That's only enough for one more meal tomorrow.
Although the wheat in the warehouse could be eaten, he could not possibly allow his people to eat meat to their heart's content every day.
But the horse meat still needs to be processed.
Even if they don't eat it, the people should still be made to make it into dried meat.
This is suitable for younger children, the elderly, and pregnant women.
He called the old man over directly.
"Tonight you go back to the tribe with a bunch of goblins, and tomorrow bring me half the horse meat and all the offal. Oh, and bring Zwan with you too."
"Yes, sir."
Seeing that the old man had accepted the task, Zi Yi also made arrangements for the goblins.
Zi'an watched Zi Yi walk away, then turned to look at Li Mosi.
"Master, it seems this road won't take too long to build. Shall we have them start constructing the road towards the tribe tomorrow?"
It wasn't until the afternoon that the people of the three manors were finally gathered together, and as a result, the Valos Knight Territory and the Matica Knight Territory were almost connected.
I estimate we can clear the Tufate Knights' territory by tomorrow morning.
"Don't rush. Have them go outside the stone wall on the north side to pull weeds and cut down trees, so they can get used to it."
Li Moss shook his head.
"Aren't we making a heated kang (a traditional Chinese bed-stove)? Since all these craftsmen are here, let's teach them how to make one first."
