What is it like to be a teacher as a magister?

Chapter 163 The Centennial Granary Project
It's been a long time since Colin stayed overnight in the castle. The quilt that the senior sister dried by herself was sweet and soft, which made him sleep until late.

Today is Sunday, and the college is usually on holiday, so you can stay in the fortress for a while.

He first visited Olivia, an elf lady who happened to be on the city wall, leading more than 20 companions at the moment of killing.

Roderick is very aware of the importance of this elf to the lord, so he will accompany him whenever he has time.

As long as there are elves, the fortress guards generally have no chance to make a move. These powerful archers, combined with the special magic arrows of the fortress, are simply a disaster for the orcs.

"Your Excellency Olivia, I have an idea, I don't know if it's mature." Colin watched the elves slaughter the orcs, cheering like the first time, as if they would never get tired of it.

"Say it." Olivia withdrew her short bow.

"I hope to move the walls of the fortress to the other end of Dragon's Breath Canyon."

"Why do this?"

"From the point of view of Xia Ya, the most fertile land is the section of Dragon's Breath Canyon, not only because of the warm monsoon in the Wind Whispering Plain, but also because of the orc's flesh and blood on this land, which is used to grow some special plants. The best soil." Colin expressed his thoughts.

"Sounds good." Olivia nodded: "But in this case, the supply line of the city wall will be extended a lot."

"It doesn't matter, I will gradually build the entire canyon into a part of the fortress, and there will be no big difference by then." Colin said with a smile: "It's just that the pressure on the guards at the beginning will definitely be greater, and you have to thank Your Excellency and everyone .”

"No problem, we like this job very much." The elf nodded.

Colin's plan will not be implemented so quickly. It is not as easy as it sounds to build a city wall to withstand the attack of the orcs at the same time, but as he said, the fertile soil in Dragon's Breath Canyon is mouth-watering, and it is indeed a good place to use it as a battlefield. It's a pity.Especially on the coral side, many new varieties of medicines have been developed one after another, and the number and types of herbal medicines are all in a hurry.

These plants with magic attributes are hard to buy even if you have money. Red winter grass is already a relatively common type, and you can only pick it near the Longji Mountains. If you don’t have your own herbal cultivation base, the development of pharmaceuticals will be inevitable. will be limited.

He watched a group of elves happily descend the city wall, obviously planning to go back to the woods to have a day of mint.

Looking at these races that seem to have no worries forever, and thinking that he is still a hard worker after crossing, Colin felt a little unbalanced.

He laughed at himself, exchanged a few words with Roderick, and then returned to the fortress.

……

Outside of Twilight City.

Near the plantation.

Wald and Sophia stood on either side of Colin.

The three looked at the dozens of huge circular buildings under construction on the open space in front of them at the same time.

"My lord, according to your request, 65 giant granaries can store grain for more than 10 people for more than six years. It seems to be one step closer to your century-old granary plan... ahem..." Wald said halfway, He paused, coughed twice, and then finished speaking again.

"You can laugh out loud, Walder." Colin said indifferently.

"No, my lord, I have absolutely no doubts about your meaning." Wald quickly pretended to be serious, and then asked: "But I'm curious, my lord, we have enough space here, even a millennium granary can be built, but the problem is, these How to store food for 100 years?"

"You don't need to worry about this, just build the granary." Colin didn't explain.

Although Wald found this kind of thing incredible, but the lord's order could not be disobeyed, he could only call Matthew to discuss the specific construction details after designing the blueprint.

The construction team is currently focusing on road repairs. In order to connect to the original Earl Frank's territory as soon as possible, Matthew assigned most of the troops to Daeron Knights.

The knight who was obsessed with building roads had never fought such a rich battle. He was so excited that he couldn't restrain his emotions, and he built a third of the road in one month in one breath.

This speed was completely unimaginable before.

The area of ​​Xia Ya is not large, but it is narrow and long overall. Not only is this road running from north to south scary in length, it will definitely become the busiest road in Xia Ya in the future, so the quality must also pass the test.

The plan of the granary was thought of by Colin very early on.

As a natural grain lover, there are tens of thousands of people who need to be fed. If he doesn't build granaries around him, he can't sleep well.

But at the beginning, he just wanted to set his goal in about three years.

After all, food has a certain storage period, and if you want to use ordinary magic methods to keep it fresh, the cost will not be affordable.

However, after getting to know Olivia and learning the natural magic, this problem seems to have ushered in the dawn, especially after the elf lady taught Colin a natural method that can keep apples for half a year but still look as fresh as when they were just picked. After the spell, Colin's ideas started to go crazy—he wanted to build a granary that could last Xia Ya for 100 years—although the practical significance of doing so might not be great, and it might only be used in the last days, but no matter From the perspective of magic practice or the abnormal psychology of the lord, it is something worth trying.

Colin felt more and more that there was a connection between natural spells and time.

Whether it is "pushing seedlings to encourage growth" or extending the freshness period of food, it is to some extent to control time.

However, this idea has no basis at present, and there is no historical evidence. Even after discussing it with Olivia, the elf lady shook her head and said that this idea is too bold-after all, there are still many natural spells that cannot find similar characteristics.

Colin didn't think about it any further.

However, using natural spells combined with magic patterns to extend the freshness of food seems to be something that can be tried.

Although there is no satisfactory solution yet, it does not prevent the construction of the granary first. After all, the original granary can no longer meet the current requirements.

"Miss Sophia, the decree to purchase grain from free farmers has already begun to be implemented."

"Yes." Sophia nodded and said, "But my lord, I still want to say that with the current output, it is already a very kind thing for farmers to only hand in half of the grain, and there is no need to spend money to buy it." half……"

"Gold coins are the most wasteful in a castle."

Ke Lin said with a smile: "Every farmer who gets the money will eventually use the money to buy things in the store, and the store will buy from the workshop after getting the money, and the workshop will pay the workers. When it comes to wages, they will go to buy food and commodities, so you see, after a round, the money is still the same money, but everyone gets what they want, which invisibly increases productivity."

Jennifer and her senior sister understood this simple truth, but Sophia, who was so focused on magic biology, thought about it for a long time, and still couldn't turn the corner.

Colin even had some doubts about how this alumnus graduated from Cambridge.

"By the way, I saw in Jennifer's report that Dadamir suffered a famine that never happened in a century?"

"Yes, it is said that they have been in drought for two consecutive years, and except around Emerald Lake, there is no harvest in other places."

"Are our current food reserves sufficient?"

"My lord, our problem is that we don't have enough granaries and preservation methods. The fortress has so much food that there is nowhere to put it. If it's too late to build a granary, when Miss Jennifer's next season's grain matures in the earl's territory, my suggestion is to stop it." Annual food collection." Sophia sighed.

"In this case, let's sell a batch of grain to Dadamir at a low price." Ke Lin said: "When we were in trouble, the other party offered to help, and help if you can."
