The corpse seemed to have been baptized by positive energy and had not rotted yet. Xia Duo only glanced at it and didn't take it to heart. He turned around and asked Leiden,
"I remember there was a carpenter among the slaves, right?"
"Yes, my lord."
"The construction of the first phase of housing in Linshui Village can begin. Pick a group of people for him and let him start in the area north of the altar and south of the camp." Sha Duo ordered.
Now there are nearly a hundred people in the territory. When Xia Duo came back, he noticed that except for the formal citizens who had some wooden houses similar to Datongpu, the slaves still only lived in thatched huts.
It's just a conical hut with a few branches and some hay hanging on it. It's very simple and has almost no rainproof ability if it rains.
As the saying goes
"He who has no permanent property has no perseverance." Xia Duo expects this group of people to work with peace of mind, so he must have the material incentives he deserves.
"By the way, let's build a few rows of wooden houses now so that they can live in them for a long time." Xia Duo added.
Leiden looked north, thought for a moment, and said, "Sir, it takes almost seven days to build a wooden house. If you ask to build a few more rows, it may take a long time." The wooden houses on the territory are now only temporary structures. Moreover, a lot of materials were brought over from Saville. Leiden felt that the early stage development of the territory spent a lot of time on housing, which was somewhat uneconomical.
"Priest Leiden, the citizens who came with me here cannot live without basic housing. This is the decision. And not only the current citizens, but also the future citizens will also be allocated housing." Chateau understood too well. The importance of a house has become clear. It is not only a shelter from wind and rain, but also a home where you can feel at ease.
Although there are future promises hanging in front of them, these people are still very motivated now, but they can't satisfy their hunger by always drawing cakes.
In need of some short-term incentives, all Xia Duo could think of was houses. Anyway, the residents built them themselves, and he was just doing a distribution job.
"Yes, sir." In front of Sha Duo, Leiden took out a scroll from his waist and wrote down Sha Duo's request in a few strokes.
... After patrolling around the altar, Xia Duo discovered another problem. On the eastern development line, there were several large fires burning blazingly, and from time to time locals or slaves would add fuel to them.
Xia Duo didn't care before, but now he suddenly realized that these fires were actually burning money!
Travelers crush the indigenous magic weapons: paper making, sugar, glass, and maybe one more
"Salt". Seeing the hay and wood that were burned in vain, Xia Duo thought of making paper. Although Netheril also has paper made from grass and trees, it is not widely circulated because it cannot carry spells and is more expensive than the most convenient parchment.
But Xia Duo knows the potential of this kind of paper. Even earth, stone, and metal can carry magic. There is no reason that grass, wood, paper cannot carry magic.
What's more, Xia Duo knows very well that the key to truly carrying the spell lies in ink, or materials that can connect to the magic network.
He believed that in the future there would be grass-wood paper that could be used to make magic scrolls. In addition, grass and wood paper does not require the use of bio-leather (high cost) like parchment paper. Grass and trees are everywhere. Once the technology matures and the cost drops, it can explode quickly.
This is a great weapon for spreading knowledge. Popularizing knowledge will not harm Xia Duolai, as long as key technologies are blocked.
The popularization of knowledge will promote communication and lead to an explosion of ideas and theories. Shado was really fed up with Netheril's conservative style, and being able to lead an ideological revolution was something he was very willing to do.
As for whether it will make other people stronger, that is actually not in Sha Duo's consideration, unless they are enemies.
His goal has always been himself. As long as he keeps making progress, there is nothing to worry about! Think big and start everywhere, maybe now you can try the ancestral papermaking technology.
But at the moment, Xia Duo can't actually do much. He just keeps papermaking in mind and will try it whenever he gets the chance.
Now he can only try not to look at those feverish people
The "money" fire was set up, but fortunately it only burned some hay and pruned branches from trees.
The trunk wood is still there!
"Priest Leiden, go ahead and do your work. I'll look eastward."
"Yes."...The positions that the territorial soldiers need to defend now are mainly in the east. There is the altar in the south, the river in the west, and the fence and [Magic Alarm] in the north.
However, Xia Duo is worried that going too far east will affect the mysterious lock. In actual planning, it only needs to be cleared to about 100 meters from the river.
After that, you can set up a fence and open up to the south.
"The key is the lack of people!" Crossing the eastern development line, Xia Duo continued to move forward, and walked nearly a hundred meters before he saw the simple layout arranged by the Qiaoqi team.
"Defense Line" - a thin line running through the forest from south to north, using branches less than half a meter high as stakes, and hanging a bell every 20 or so.
Not seeing anyone from Team Qiaoqi, Xia Duo deliberately shook his head as he walked by, and the bell closest to him immediately rang.
Immediately after the thin line was pulled, a clear bell sounded on this line. Soon Xia Duo heard an angry roar from the east: "Node 3 was triggered, Hadd, are you lazy?" ! Come back and have a look!" Xia Duo had been away from the territory for a while, so this voice was a little unfamiliar, but it was not difficult to guess who it was. If nothing else, it was Qiao Qi.
Such a loud voice sounded so loud even from a distance in the forest! Soon, Shado saw Harder running all the way from the east carrying a sword and shield. Harder seemed stunned when he suddenly saw the lord who had disappeared for more than ten years.
"That——Lord!" At this moment, Qiao Qi's voice came out again,
"Hard, Hadd, tell me something!" Hard finally came to his senses and shouted toward the southeast: "Captain, it's the lord! The lord is back!" After shouting, Hard was a little embarrassed. Looking at Xia Duo, he was hesitating whether to return to the guard position or stay and wait for the captain.
Xia Duo looked at this thin bell warning line with interest. The effect of this warning line should be good for ordinary beasts, but it was a bit far away from the camp.
It would be better if people in the camp could also hear it, so that the camp could also be alerted in advance.
Soon, Qiao Qi also rushed over, also carrying a sword and shield. He ran all the way to Xia Duo and said seriously: "Sir! Qiao Qi came to report!" Xia Duo nodded and pointed at the place where he came. direction,
"Let's go, let's go."
"Yes, sir." Qiao Qi sent Hard away and walked in front, leading Sha Duo and reporting on the recent situation.
"Sir, these ten, we have pushed the cordon here. It is outside the bell line during the day and inside the bell line at night."
"Are there many collisions with the cordon?" Xia Duo asked.
"There were a lot of them at first, but after clearing out the two nearby goblin settlements, there were a lot less."
"Goblin settlement?" Sha Duo thought of the goblin settlement he had solved when he first arrived here. There was also a bugbear inside. He quickly asked: "Have you found any bugbears?"
"Nothing was found, but Captain Gibb judged that there were traces of bugbears living there."
