Lady of the Lord From the East - Chapter 165

The formula used in the new year is somewhat different from the first attempt last year. The corn stalks have been used up last year, and the chemical fertilizers originally used have also been used more because more new crops have been planted in the manor this year. In those fields, the culture material was replaced with a formula that did not require chemical fertilizers and corn stalks, so the petri dishes lacked nutrients, which was also a premonition early in the morning.

After seeing the mushroom house, Wei Wei decided to directly remake a batch of culturing materials and replace the original culturing materials, and the original culturing materials would not be thrown away. The immature spores, together with a part of the base material, are transplanted into the new medium, and the mushrooms will still grow until the spores mature and reproduce in the new medium, which saves them the time to collect the spores again.

As for the remaining useless culture materials, although the output is reduced, some mushrooms can actually grow, and they are directly used for composting, which is a little wasteful, so Wei Wei asked the slaves in charge of the mushroom house, if If they want, they can put them back under the bed or some other dark and damp place, regenerate some mushrooms, add food to themselves or sell them.

There is such a good thing, of course, the slaves chose to ask for it. They divided these culture materials, and each brought a large bag back, because there were a lot of culture materials, and the slaves lived in collective dormitories, and several people shared a room. , so if a person brings it back, it is equivalent to everyone in a room. There is no need to hide it. If they can’t use it up, they can easily share it with other slaves in the same room. Life was not good before, and the slaves It is inevitable that there will be filth between them. Although it is not completely peaceful today, the situation is much better. The relationship between people in a room is better than that with others, and it is also necessary to take care of each other and help each other.

Just as the slaves on the manor were busy making new compost, a piece of good news came back.

After more than a year, the wharf, which was jointly built by thousands of people, was finally built.

The completion of the wharf, such a big thing, as the masters of the territory, Felix and Wei Wei, naturally have to go to Slot to check the results in person.

Slaughter’s pier was built by a professional team. At the beginning, Felix only planned to temporarily build a small pier that can accommodate small and medium-sized ships. Of course, this does not mean that the pier has always been of this size. , just build a temporary one to facilitate the passage of ships, and then continue the construction in a more suitable area next to it to expand the scale of the wharf.

However, after the on-site inspection, the construction team he invited felt that it was more appropriate to build a large-scale wharf in one step, because this place is very suitable for building a wharf. It is not impossible to build a small one first and then expand on this basis. , the ships will start to come and go, which has a great impact on the subsequent expansion, and it is easy to prolong the construction period. Since Felix has money and people, he can do it in one step, so don’t dawdled for so many unnecessary things. It is convenient to delay the construction period.

Felix was persuaded, and with additional funding and manpower, the construction team completed the project in just over a year.

Wei Wei and Felix drove the carriage to Sloot County again. It was the last time she received the church.

At that time, Sloot County was in the recovery period. There were only serfs in the local area. The roads and houses were made temporarily. The road conditions, which would throw up a lot of dust when running with horses, were really simple and abysmal.

But now that she comes back, the road has been re-constructed. A concrete road has been added beside the original dirt road. The previous earthen house has not been torn down, but more have been built. There are rows on both sides of the road. A restaurant and hotel for the past business travelers to rest and eat.

But after these houses, there are more newly built houses, some of which are muddy and some of stone, and even a few brick houses can be seen sporadically. They surround the road on both sides, making this place built along the road. small town.

Wei Wei couldn’t even remember where the fishing villages were, because they had become part of the town, and the old buildings seemed to have been rebuilt long ago.

When Wei Wei got off the carriage, she couldn’t tell that this was the place where the serfs lived. Although it didn’t look very good, it was very lively, a kind of liveliness that the serf villages in the manor did not have.

The people who live here are all serfs. Except for the thousand serfs who have lived here for generations, the rest are all foreigners who have migrated from the border. These foreigners have settled in the Sloth house for only a year. It is unavoidable to emphasize with foreign countries that whether it is food, clothing, housing, or behavior, it is no different from the Prady people.

The biggest difference between this and Sardinson is that the serfs of Sloot can move freely throughout Slootshire. Whether it is the wharf in the south or the New Town in the north, there are traces of their labor and work, except that they cannot leave the county at will. , almost indistinguishable from ordinary citizens.

And the life is much better than before, and the life is getting better and better, and these foreign serfs born as refugees have a stronger and stronger sense of belonging to Sloth. They have no concept of a country at all. Think of it as a Sloot.

Before sighing about the changes here, under the guidance of the construction team, they avoided the serf settlements that had become extremely excited after hearing about the coming of the lord, and walked quietly to the seaside, where they saw the completed dock. .

Said to be a wharf, in fact, it can already be called a seaport. The original coastline has been pushed out by ten meters, and a large area inside and outside is built with building materials such as stone, wood, cement, etc., making it flat and spacious, and the entire ground is covered It is two meters above the sea level. Even the high tide will not let it be covered by sea water. At the edge, you can still see neatly repaired steps. In front of the steps, there are several long trestle bridges. The wooden stakes are fixed in the sea, and the distance between the bridges is very wide, even ships like the Great Song Mission can enter and moor, and the firm trestle also facilitates the docking of these ships and loading and unloading of goods.

Wei Wei is not familiar with the harbour terminal. She used to live inland and never saw the sea. It was the first time she saw the sea when she came to Slot, and she only saw some tourist attractions in the pier for tourists to play. The kind of small pier, other impressions are from TV, anyway, in her opinion, this newly repaired place is very good.

Felix had seen the Royal Seaport, so he felt that his own seaport was not particularly impressive. It was even a lot smaller in comparison. Naturally, he would not feel shocked, but he was satisfied with the construction team’s work, going back and forth. I went back a few times and found no major problems, and the details were also well done.

Of course, it was the professionals he invited who were really responsible for the inspection – Pierre Architect and his colleagues. Although Pierre also didn’t understand the dock, he could see whether the construction team was cutting corners, as long as he could Make sure that the quality of the docks passes, there is generally no problem, even if there are some minor glitches, Felix will allow them to settle the balance after the changes.

And the construction team really lived up to the descendants of the architects who used to be the Royal Harbor. Pierre and the others checked it out. Everything was remarkable, and there was no corner-cutting situation. They turned back and told Felix the results. The latter simply asked the accountant he brought to settle the final payment with the construction team.

However, the person in charge of the construction team did not personally go to get the expensive final payment. He stayed and asked Felix a little to please about the construction of the dock. Obviously, the person in charge wanted to take over this project.

Felix was very satisfied with the pier answer sheet handed in by the construction team, so he was willing to cooperate with them again, but: “The dock was built by Allen and I, that is, the Count of Princia. If you want to join, I can directly agree on my side, but if you want to get an overview of the project, you have to convince him yourself.”

The construction of the dock is also a big project. It should have started a long time ago, but the dock on Felix’s side has not been built. In order to avoid conflicts between the two projects, they have not started repairing the dock for the time being. People are monitoring the environment to see how to repair the shipyard, which spans two counties.

In fact, if the place is not big enough, Felix prefers to build the dock by himself, not because he doesn’t want to share the benefits with his friends, but because the dock is a production unit that requires extremely high confidentiality. If there are too many managers, It is easy to cause the possibility of leakage, and it is not conducive to management.

And now that he has a good relationship with Allen, it does not mean that the descendants of the two families can always maintain this relationship in the future, and exceptions to the relationship caused by the uneven distribution of benefits are very common, even Felix There’s no guarantee that his friendship with Alan will last forever.

Fortunately, Allen is a reasonable person. When he and Felix discussed the construction of the dock together, he had clearly stated that after the dock was built, Princia only had the right to share dividends. The sea area for the construction of the dock and the manpower and capital investment during the construction period are exchanged for 30% of the annual income, and Felix, who enjoys the remaining 70% of the benefits, not only has to take the lead in the construction of the dock, but also in the later stage. The management and operation of the company will also be carefully arranged by him, and Princia will not be involved.

It was also because Aaron guaranteed this and signed a contract with Felix that Felix persuaded Wei Wei to agree to their cooperation. Wei Wei, will definitely not agree to this plan.

Now the survey work on the Princia side has long been completed, and some preliminary construction preparations have already begun on the land on the Princia side. , and then put into construction after making adjustments.

Felix was going to send someone to work with Allen’s people, but if the construction team was not willing to submit to others and wanted to grasp the sovereignty, they had to find a way to convince Allen.

However, the person in charge of the construction team does not have such great ambitions. He wants to take charge of the construction of the dock. He just wants to find a stable and high-income project for his construction team, so Felix said that they can join the dock. He happily said that he would pack up and report there as soon as possible.

Anyway, as long as there is money to be made, it makes no difference whether it is the top person in charge, and with the backing of Earl Williams, even if they go later, they will not be able to encounter any exclusion. After all, the actual owner of this dock is still Williams. count.
