Lord Harland

Chapter 86 Brick Order
Li Cha had just finished his spring plowing when an acquaintance came to the territory.

This person is Richard's old chief, Sharp Walra.

I haven't met Captain Sharp for several years, and Sharp's strength has also improved, and he has advanced to a sixth-level fighter.

When he was in the eighth brigade, Li Cha was on Roland's line, and his relationship with Sharp was very ordinary.

Of course, at that time, Sharp's status was high, and it was impossible to pay attention to a small officer like Li Cha.

When Sharp came to the territory, Li Cha had some doubts.

No matter what purpose Sharp had, Richard welcomed him into his tent politely.

Li Chaling is still barren, Sophia Fort is a large construction site, no houses have been built for the time being, and most of the slaves live in tents.

Although Li Cha is the lord, his living conditions are better, but he still lives in a bigger and thicker tent.

From the late autumn of last year to the present, thousands of people have worked for half a year, and Li Chaling has undergone some changes.

The foundation of Fort Sophia has been half dug, and construction materials such as lime and boulders are piled up near the foundation.

In order to protect the slave laborers, Li Cha brought the newly formed squadron to practice nearby, hunted some wild beasts by the way, improved food for the slaves, and supplemented their nutrition.

The new squadron has been training for three months, and its equipment has improved slightly.

Although he still has no armor, he has a longbow in his hand.

There is a large amount of wood suitable for making bows and arrows in northern Xinjiang, and the territory of the Harland family also has a large area of ​​oak forest.

Yew wood is also very common in northern Xinjiang. In addition, elm and ash wood are suitable for making bows.

Although the forging of armor is not easy, the territory of Harland can only forge dozens of pieces a year.

But bows and arrows are relatively easy to make, and a large amount of wood in the territory is suitable for making longbows.

Humans in Dawn Continent are generally very powerful, and they are also very suitable for using longbows.

Whether it is the central main army or the noble private army, they are all equipped with a large number of longbows.

In a few months, the bow and arrow have been manufactured.

Sharp entered the tent, and Li Cha made him a cup of brown sugar water.

"This is brown sugar water. The taste is similar to honey. It is a specialty of our territory, and the output is relatively small. You should try it, old sir."

"The taste is good, I think it tastes better than honey water."

Sharp put down the water glass. He was a soldier, and he was also a straightforward person, speaking very directly.Seeing Li Cha, he said straight to the point: "I came to Harland this time to seek your help."

"We are old friends. We were still in the same brigade before. You are my old officer. As long as I can help you, I will definitely not shirk."

"The last time the orcs invaded the war, I accumulated enough meritorious service and obtained the fiefdom. The Platos fortress group we fought before is in my fiefdom.

Because of the destruction of the orcs, the walls of the Platos fortress group were severely damaged. I now need a lot of bricks. Your territory is the closest to the Platos fortress group. I found out that you are building a castle and have transported a lot of bricks.As a last resort, I can only ask you for help. "

Captain Sharp's strength is not as strong as William's, and his accumulation is not as deep as William's. Their family does not have talents like Bernie, Powell, and Richard to help them. It stands to reason that they cannot be granted the title of hereditary baronet.

Seeing Li Cha's puzzled expression, Sharp immediately understood his thoughts and explained a few more words.

"I married a new wife, Baroness Raphael."

Hearing this, Li Cha nodded in a sudden realization.

There are more than 100 barons in the northern region, and the number of female barons is very small, no more than ten.

In the three provinces directly under the royal family, there are fewer baronesses. After all, compared with men, women are not very suitable for war.

Baron Raphael is almost the opposite of a woman. She is tall and strong, with strong fighting power. She is a seventh-level silver knight, and her fighting power is somewhat stronger than William.

This baron is the second daughter of Baron Fanta. She has followed her father to fight against the orcs since she was 13 years old. She has been entrusted with the territory twice. She is a very famous baron in the province of Gascoigne.

Richard met Baron Raphael once in Flame Castle a few years ago.

The baroness is more than two meters tall, weighs three hundred catties, and has strong muscles on her arms and thighs.

Even if you find a rich woman and sister, you can save decades of struggle.

Anyway, Li Cha would rather be a bachelor for the rest of his life than marry such a woman.

Relying on the heroic wife's military exploits, Captain Sharp successfully realized the class leap, obtained the fiefdom, and realized the long-cherished wish that many people could not realize in their lifetime.

The Platos fortress group was originally the base of the Wild Lion Legion, but the continuous war caused heavy losses to the Wild Lion Legion, and they had no choice but to shrink their strength.

The Prato fortress complex is now in disuse.

In order to re-operate the Platos defense line, this area can only be handed over to the noble private army.

The land near the Platos fortress group was confiscated to three powerful barons, Richard, Raphael, and Harden.

The higher-ups also hope to use their strength to stabilize this area and relieve the pressure on the Wild Lions.

Compared with Richard's Territory, the area of ​​the Shaprafel United Territory is only half, less than a thousand square kilometers.

However, there are many complete castles in the territory. Although the castles need to be repaired, their value is much higher than that of Li Chaling in a short period of time.

At the very least, Sharp didn't need to build castles and open roads in the wild territory, saving tens of thousands of gold coins.

However, in the long run, only a large territory has the potential for development. Castles can be built with gold coins, but military exploits are paid for expanding the territory.

Military exploits meant sacrificing countless lives.

"Mr. Sharp, how many bricks do you need? Although the distance between our two territories is close, the roads are still impassable. If the quantity is small, we can use oxen and horses to carry them. If the quantity is large, the road will need to be repaired."

"The bricks of the nine castles were smashed by the orcs. We plan to rebuild the fifth, eighth, and ninth castles in a short period of time. According to statistics, we need 600 million bricks. Such a large transportation volume should indeed Repair the road.

We went to the royal capital to buy [-] slaves. If all of them were used to build roads, [-] kilometers of roads could barely be repaired in ten days. "

"You need 600 million bricks? If it's 10 yuan in bricks, according to our relationship, you don't need any money. I can't give away such a large amount.

Now the ex-factory price of the brick kiln outside is that one gold coin can buy 3000 yuan of bricks.We are comrades in a brigade, and one gold coin can sell you 4000 yuan of bricks.

I am also in charge of transporting the bricks to Fort Sophia, and I will rely on you for the remaining fifteen kilometers. "

The price given by Li Cha is very competitive, 25% cheaper than the market price outside, and Li Cha also provided a [-]-kilometer transportation task.

Bisharp bought bricks from big cities such as Flame Castle and Black River Castle, saving 50.00% of the cost.

After hearing the conditions given by Li Cha, Sharp immediately agreed.

In this transaction, Sharp felt that Li Cha was really a good person, he didn't put too much emphasis on the interests, and he was very concerned about the feelings between comrades-in-arms.

The total value of this order is 6500 gold coins.

But Li Cha doesn't need to pay too much cost. The workers in the brick kiln factory are not free citizens, and the labor cost is very low, as long as they take care of the food.

In fact, this extra sum of gold coins is equivalent to helping Li Cha in a timely manner.He was afraid that the cooked duck would fly away, so the asking price was naturally very low. The efficiency of firing bricks in the Harland Territory was dozens of times that of a single kiln. high profit.
