People are building infrastructure in another world

Aurora apologizes for having despised the ex-baron's ambitions, which was not easy, and so was Miguel.

Everyone who lived in Beichen before was a strong man, in a sense.

There are big things to do, and Miguel is naturally indispensable.

Aurora goes to the training ground to find Miguel.

On an autumn day with the howling cold wind, the training ground was full of children, and the sporadic three knights and attendants could only be forced to practice swords in a pitiful corner.

They didn't feel resentful because the children occupied their space, but their expressions were relaxed and happy.

After all, the more people in the territory learn martial arts, the less burden they have on them, which is a good thing.

Even if they contribute less, Madam will not lose a copper for them.

What's more, my children are also learning.

If you can't learn martial arts, you can learn other things, all for free, so why not do it.

The soldiers were not wronged, Aurora felt wronged for them.

Aurora felt that the school had to build a playground, and soldiers were the main force for territorial security. Not enough training grounds would affect their combat effectiveness.

When Aurora walked into the training ground, Miguel immediately put away the sword.

Aurora didn't like the smell of men sweating, so she usually wouldn't come here if she had nothing to do.

Miguel knew her obsession with cleanliness, and he also knew that something must have happened and he needed to solve it.

Miguel wiped his sweat, only kissed her on the cheek, not daring to hug her, "Is there something wrong?"

As soon as the words fell, the sleeves were grabbed and pulled outside the patrol field.

Looking around, Aurora bit her lip, "This winter will last for a long time, help me send the letter to Lacey through the magic road. Let him prepare according to my instructions."

Miguel looked at her complicatedly with deep eyes, wondering if her prophecy would cause her any damage, "You..." The concern on the lips was swallowed again, and concern meant that it was not the time to get to the bottom of it.

Miguel raised his hand and stroked the delicate skin of her face with his fingers. He cherished the remaining four years, "I will help you, whatever you want to do, I will help you."

Being touched so preciously, Aurora's heart softened into cotton candy. She stood on tiptoe, hugged his neck, and kissed his face, "Thank you, dear."

Miguel's eyes were deep, "Thank you, let's talk about it at night, I'll call for someone to deliver the letter for you."

He didn't ask anything, but Aurora could see the worry hidden in his eyes, and always felt that she had secrets, and he had a lot of secrets.

Aurora couldn't help but want to share the secret, and whether he could open up and tell her.

It's a pity that Aurora has too many worries, and she can't say it for the time being. She said that she has a goddess system in her body, who can predict the future direction, give her tasks, and obtain epoch-making knowledge through the system?

It's ridiculous, even more ridiculous than magic.

If one day the secret cannot be hidden, she will confess, but if Miguel doesn't ask, she won't say it, and it's hard to explain it clearly.

……

Miguel and Aurora have always been action-minded.

Miguel sent a knight to the imperial capital from the magic road.

After Lacey received the letter, he read the contents of the letter repeatedly, and after reading it, he burned it until the paper was reduced to ashes.

After that, he started to prepare for what Aurora ordered.

Beichen is also busy preparing for the winter.

In the past, farmers and castles would only prepare firewood for about four months.

Obviously not enough, Beichen would die without heating in winter.

So Aurora remodeled the kiln for burning lime, and took the lead in going to the forest to collect more firewood and burn charcoal.

Charcoal is more burn resistant and easier to make.

While making charcoal, the news was quietly released, saying that winter will last for a long time, and everyone had better make some plans.

The free folk were dubious when they heard the news, but the big move in the territory was visible, and many people were willing to believe in Aurora's judgment and prepared every minute.

In autumn, there are still more frost-resistant mushrooms that can be collected. Aurora dispatched all the farmers to pick mushrooms, Hericium erinaceus, pine nuts, hazelnuts, ginkgo, mountain grapes, wild apples, etc.

Normally, ginkgo and wild apples are just left to rot, but this year is different, all of them are bald, and none are left.

Mushrooms are all dried in the sun, nuts are fried and ground to make nut butter, and wild grapes and wild apples are used as preserved fruits.

Even some potatoes that grow underground in the forest are dug out and thoroughly cooked and ground. These potatoes are slightly poisonous. After cooking and grinding, most of the toxicity can be removed, but they still cannot be eaten in excess.

But when you are suffering from hunger and cold, this is life-saving food. No matter what it is, Aurora eats everything she can eat, even coming to the territory of Viscount Hunter next door.

With the characters of Viscount Hunter and Jennifer, Aurora could imagine the situation of their subjects in winter, and the freemen and even slave farmers in their territories might flee over.

The viscount's territory has a lot of fields, and there are also a dozen or so mountains. They secretly harvest the unpicked sour fruits, sweet potatoes, and pastures needed by the farm.If you don't squeeze white, don't squeeze it, you can't squeeze it in winter.

Lisa organizes the children to catch rabbits with rice balls, which can be dried in the sun and made into meat sauce, which is an important source of protein in winter.

Mrs. Taylor and the servants cleaned up the room and the basement. The castle is big enough and has a lot of spare rooms, so it is very convenient to use it as a temporary warehouse.

Miguel, on the other hand, went out to sea to fish, and he harvested a lot every day. Hundreds of children directly assisted by the sea, spreading salt, drying or smoking fish.

The entire territory was mobilized together, and everyone felt the tense atmosphere.

The lord didn't say anything, and the peasants and the children didn't ask the reason, and just immersed themselves in their work.

The two lords never do wasted work.

Two weeks before the first snowfall, Aurora finally filled several granaries in the territory, and the meat was hung on the top of several temporary warehouses.

The important material storage point is guarded day and night to prevent thieves from thinking about it.

The fired charcoal is also piled up in more than a dozen rooms.

Looking at these results, Aurora felt a sense of security.

The main preparation event is too short, otherwise, Aurora can definitely make a sinister plan to collect food from other territories.

The first snow, the wind blowing is particularly strong, very cold.

There was a trace of sadness on the face of Linong who was nestled at home, and everyone gathered around the fireplace to discuss the countess' recent behavior.

"I think the Countess made a prophecy again, that's why she made a big move."

"The first snow is so heavy. It's almost half a month later than in previous years. It's probably quite cold."

"Yeah, I'm really cold right now. Fortunately, last month my family bought cheap leather jackets for the winter."

Their clothes are much better now than before, and the slaughtered dragon skins are made into clothes of various sizes and sold in grocery stores.

Residents of Beichen Territory can buy one cheap per person per year.

In order to ensure that residents cannot buy more cheaply.

Now all residents of Beichen have a resident card with a number. After Linong takes out his resident card, he can tell the waiter his name and age, and he can get a discount.

The residence card is made of special paper, and there is no paper produced outside, so it is very difficult to imitate.

Everyone kept their IDs tightly covered to prevent others from seeing their serial numbers to prevent fraudulent claims.

Surrounded by Linong wearing the same style of clothes, the grateful heart is the same.

The teenage boy who had been studying for half a year said, "The countess is right in everything she does, we just do what she says."

"Yes."

"Yep."

They remember clearly what happened in the previous two years.

How could other lords care about their life and death as slave farmers? They have all gained weight and gained a lot of strength. The children have practiced martial arts again. If they are talented, they are said to be able to serve as knight servants.

In the eyes of all slave peasants, the profession of servant is equivalent to a signal that they can climb up. Although only the next generation of slave peasants who have escaped from slavery can become knights, working behind the Earl has a bright future.

As Linong talked, he returned to the topic of the countess' grain storage. This winter, I am afraid that this topic will be discussed.

In the castle, listening to the howling wind, Aurora thought that the school had just built the second floor and sealed the roof.

The doors and windows are temporarily boarded up, and I don't know if the inside needs to be refinished after winter.

Refurbishment is another expense. Regardless of the fact that the territory is making money quickly, if Aurora hadn't been staring at it, it might not be able to make ends meet financially.

Infrastructure was the most expensive. The seemingly simple construction of a school cost her more than [-] gold, and the speed of spending was faster than building the walls of the manor.

The heavy snow continued to fall, and there were no undead to harass, only little monsters looking for trouble.

The manor's wall to defend against little monsters is a trivial matter.

The small town gradually formed outside the manor was also surrounded by strong fences, and the resident knights could solve it single-handedly.

With the completion of the wall, knights and squires have a lot more leisure.

But they can't be cats and dogs, and they still patrol as usual, but they don't need to march around in a hurry.

In order to cultivate children's awareness of protecting their territory, teenagers over the age of 15 also take turns to follow the knights to go out on patrol. Those under the age of 15 are divided into several groups to start learning crafts.

Aurora hired ten craftsmen, all of whom Aurora found when Ogri went to pick up his wife and daughter to the territory.

Because Aurora only asks to be able to teach students, and does not require that she must be a famous person.

Even if it is disabled, she will accept it.

So Ogri really found her unique craftsmen regardless of the details.

A one-eyed carpenter, a stone carver with a cane, a painter with six fingers, an old bard, a retired alchemist, a gardener who offended the nobles of the imperial capital, a homeless middle-aged tailor, a disfigured jewelry appraiser, A retired soldier with a broken leg who was stationed in the Warcraft Fortress, and an old and frail daughter-in-law.

The last one was not mistaken, it was a woman who entered the gold sales den and couldn't get out, and was thrown to the street by the bustard after she looked old.

Fortunately, the others have skills, and they have started to teach their apprentices skills. Aurora signed a one-year probationary contract with them, during which they will be paid as usual.

If you do well, you can become a school teacher in the future.

For those who have difficulty making ends meet, Aurora is their savior.

They are all very good at crafts, and may have a bit of a bad temper, but they are all dedicated to teaching the students, and there is no bad behavior of beating or scolding at will.

Only the woman who came from the selling gold nest, she didn't move, she stayed in the house except when she came out to receive the meal.

Today, Alu reminded Aurora that there was still this person missing, and it was only then that Aurora realized that there was still someone not arranged?
"Call her over."

The woman stood in front of the table, not daring to look up at Aurora at all.

She has no name, her stage name is Nana, and the place where Aurora meets her is a small warm living room.

"Don't be timid, just raise your head."

When Nana raised her head, Aurora didn't quite believe why the gold sales den threw people out.The facial features are exquisite, but there are wrinkles at the corners of the eyes, but the age should not be too old, so it won't be discarded.

Nana brushed her hair and put it behind her ear. Two months of street experience made her very afraid of noble ladies.

But she still maintains the charm in her bones, and every movement is presumptuously seductive.

The old bustards in the selling gold nest are really extraordinary in training.

Aurora thinks the old bustard is powerful, but she doesn't appreciate it.

Nana whispered: "Madam called me, is there anyone who needs to vent, or is there any knowledge that needs to be known?"

Aurora was helpless, pointing to the chair opposite, "Sit down, I let you come, not for any purpose."

Nana was embarrassed, she had received preferential treatment from the lady there.She thought about many reasons why Aurora hired her from all the way.

Is it because the nobleman has a quirk?Or do you need her to teach you how to serve men?Or maybe Ferguson is inexperienced and needs guidance?
Not all of them.

Aurora: "I heard that when you were there, everyone said that you had a beautiful voice and learned to sing. Is this true?"

Nana was in a daze. It was a long time ago. The bustard accidentally discovered that her voice was clear, so she found a street musician to teach her to sing.

With a good voice, she once became the top card in the gold sales den, and she was famous for a long time.

But those reputations are all illusory, the prosperity is gone, she is no one, "Ma'am, I haven't sung for a long time."

Aurora: "It's okay, you can sing a few lines now."

Nana was terrified, and said obediently: "But the songs I learned are all pornographic songs, which will dirty your ears." She had a shadow, and was once caught and sang by a noble lady. She sang half of the song and slapped her ten times. The face was swollen for half a month.

Aurora: "Is that so? Will you hum? Humph twice."

Nana nodded. In front of Aurora, she unconsciously put away her coquettish attitude, put her hands on her knees, and parted her pale lips lightly.

The beautiful singing voice flows slowly. Nana's singing voice is different from when she speaks. She speaks cowardly and softly, but her singing is full of penetrating power. Her abdominal cavity resonates, and her humming alone is very contagious.She sang a sad song with a sad tone that reminded people of a sad picture.

After Nana hummed half of the song, Aurora clapped her hands, "You sing very well."

Aurora's gentle encouragement and friendly smiles are the only sincerity Nana has ever felt from so many noble ladies in her life.

"Don't cry, girls' tears are the most precious." Aurora handed Nana a tissue, a newly developed tissue, soft and easy to break down.

Aurora also thanked the system excitedly for this. God knows how great it is to have paper towels.

Nana took the tissue and touched the corners of her eyes, which were indeed wet.

"Thank you, madam." Nana didn't dare to look directly at Aurora, and only now did she look up at Aurora.
