King: Start with tauren plowing

Chapter 107 Shire: Drink More Hot Water

The size gap between the two sides is too big. Silver Fox has tens of thousands of people, and there are flat river valleys and plains to produce food. One infantry regiment can equal the entire population of Cold Winter Fortress.

However, the Noxus family has a small population and little food. In the final analysis, war is an economic loss. Charles is worried that if the war goes bad, or there is a possibility of a stalemate, the Silver Fox family will consume him to death.

Now after a fight, the dog-skin mask on the Silver Fox family's exterior has been pulled off by Shire.Without the cooperation of the infantry corps, their knights are a joke.Although their knights are all in heavy armor, but you ask them, do they dare to risk their lives to attack the infantry regiment?A knightly lord and a cavalryman are different.

Just when Charles was delighted, Carlos came over and said beamingly, "Master Baron, I have some good news for you."

"What good news."

"The infantry regiment we defeated was actually just the front army, and there were more than 1000 people behind them. And the more than 1000 people behind were serfs transporting luggage, carrying thousands of carts of grain."

Thinking of the grain, Carlos shed tears at the corner of his mouth: "A thousand carts of grain, millions of catties of grain, if given to him, he won't be able to eat it all his life."

No, don't tell him, just take a look, Winter Fortress is a poor place, he has never seen so much food.

"A thousand carts of grain? How could this infantry regiment transport so much grain?"

"The Silver Fox family is planning to build a Bright Church next to the Sunset Fortress in the north. It is said that more than 1 serfs have been recruited, and they have been working since autumn." Carlos replied casually, turning the topic to food again, "My lord, We can't let go of this thousand carts of grain, this thousand carts of grain is enough for our Winter Fortress to feed us for more than half a year."

A thousand carts of food can indeed feed 3000 residents of Winter Fortress for the first half of the year.But Carlos is still too limited, and the current Winter Fortress is no longer the previous Winter Fortress.

In addition to 3000 humans, there are more than 9000 tauren, about 300 centaurs, 1200 people who have newly joined Winter Fortress, and 10000 people who will join Winter Fortress in the future.

Putting aside the bright and not bright, he mainly wanted to visit the newly built Guangming Church. 10000 serfs, what to do if they quarreled with the great God of Light, it is more appropriate to hand over such dirty pariahs to Winter Fortress.Anyway, their Winter Fortress is not a good place, and there are not many good people.

When we go back, Derek the tauren must continue to cultivate the land. It is best to reclaim all the land on both sides of the Noxus River to prepare for future farming serfs. Food will always be the most important material in Noxus. With food To support more people.

Charles looked at Carlos, "We can't let go of the food, and we can't let the people go. Let the soldiers attack them tomorrow, let the soldiers get a good rest tonight, and make a few more bowls of hot soup, so that the soldiers can go to the cold.

In addition to our soldiers, a bowl of drink was also given to the newly captured Silver Fox soldiers, and a few more black breads were distributed to each of them. If they had a cold, they would drink a few more bowls. "

Drinking more hot water is the 'panacea' for colds. If he can't get artemisinin, can't he get hot water?Really.In addition, drinking hot water is not easy to cause stomach problems, and it also removes the cold, and there will be no parasites.The most important thing is that it is cheap.

"My lord, for these prisoners? Are they worthy?"

As soon as he opened his mouth, it was the authentic taste of winter. Shire said: "The prisoner is only valuable if he is alive. Pass my order. All soldiers, all prisoners must drink three bowls of hot soup. If you don't drink it, tell me, and I will go there personally." Ask him why he doesn't drink.

Light more fires tonight, whether it is a soldier or a prisoner, there must be a fire to keep warm.

There are also hygiene issues, no one is allowed to defecate near the Ars River, Noxian soldiers were caught, lashed ten times, and starved for a day, and the prisoners of the Silver Fox collar were caught and hanged. "

After a catastrophe, there must be a catastrophe. Although I don't know if the storm is a catastrophe, it is still necessary to take precautions.Otherwise, if the epidemic really hits the face, there will be nowhere to cry.

……

In the camp, the flames were soaring into the sky, and the fires were piled up like stars in the sky, lighting up the dark night.

The orange fire light is bright and warm, and it is very comfortable to shine on people.

But Brian still felt cold, so he put more firewood into the fire to make the fire more intense.

Brian is a serf in a certain village on the river valley plain. He works for Lord Silver Fox in the fields every day. Although he can’t get enough to eat, he can’t starve to death either. After all, they are the property of the baron. lose money.

But one day a group of people came and took them away without saying a word. Later he found out that he was a soldier.

Being a soldier is not as fun as plowing the land, at least Brian thinks so, although there are always people who say that a soldier can plunder if he wins a battle, rob any woman he likes, and kill anyone he doesn't like.

But fighting kills people, and Brian is afraid of death, so he just wants to plow the land safely.It's a pity he doesn't have the right to choose.

A couple of tauren interrupted Brian's sentimentality.

"Hey, come and eat." A few ferocious tauren came over. They carried a large earthen pot and put it on the ground with a bang, muttering, "My lord priest has an order that everyone must drink three bowls."

Then another tauren put down the pole full of black bread and kicked it over, "This is your dinner."

Lord Priest, it should be the human baron, Brian thought to himself.

"Drink quickly!" Some tauren urged dissatisfiedly, they still had to rush to the next fire, if they didn't have military merits to do this job, they would not be willing.

Brian walked over slowly, not because he suspected that the soup was poisonous, after all, a little serf like him was not worth the price of poison.

He was just too cold and weak.He walked slowly to the pot and poured out a bowl of hot soup. He stuck out his tongue to try it first, and when he found it wasn't hot, he drank it in one gulp.

Hot soup is rarely eaten. It’s not that Brian doesn’t like to drink it. It’s because he needs to chop wood to make a fire. He needs to work for the baron all day. How can he have time to chop wood for himself, even if he has that time? , He also just wanted to take a good rest at that time.

The hot soup went down his esophagus to his stomach, and his stomach was warm.Brian felt very comfortable, and drank two more bowls one after another. Then he took out two black breads from the shoulder pole and soaked them in the hot soup.

Brian took a small bite, as if he was testing something, and then he seemed to realize something, and he ate it with big mouthfuls. There was no sand or small stones in the black bread.He took two more black breads one after another and stuffed them into his mouth together.

The tauren was amused by the voracious appearance, and they laughed, they would not eat this kind of broken bread with sawdust and wild vegetables for nothing.

Originally they were supposed to eat mutton and broth tonight, but unfortunately they didn't, so they had to eat pure wheat bread, but it was better than this broken black bread by more than 01:30.

The comparison produced superiority. Looking at the miserable scene of these captives, their loyalty to the priest increased a lot.

The wanton laughter of the tauren did not anger Brian, on the contrary, he was grateful to the tauren.It stands to reason that the tauren and humans are enemies, and it is not an exaggeration for these tauren to kill them, but they didn't.

Later, he helped cut down trees to make a fire, and now he brought them hot soup and brown bread, which was black bread without stones and sand.What's wrong with a few words of ridicule, usually they are ridiculed and even bullied in the infantry regiment, these tauren just laugh and don't do anything.

If he had known it was this kind of treatment, he wouldn't have run away.
