Suellen put all the gold and secret silver mined in the Orlando treasure house into the storage space, and then gave more than a dozen barrels of vodka and rum to the grey dwarfs as a reward.
The grey dwarfs who had long coveted vodka cheered. Seeing this situation, Suellen directly announced that he would hold a banquet with enough drinks. Hearing the news, all the grey dwarves put down their work and began to prepare. In fact, they didn't need much preparation. As long as there was wine at the dwarf's party.
The grey dwarves are still very satisfied with their current life. In the past, 80% of the minerals they mined needed to be handed over to the king. That's why Su Lun was able to win easily because of the ruthless exploitation. Otherwise, the dwarves must fight to the end because of their bad temper like a stone.
Su Lun has now considered sending these grey dwarves to the blacksmith shop or the army. As for mining, he is going to hand over to the dog head man. Before, these grey dwarves were allowed to mine because of insufficient ore production. Now the ore production has increased, and the production of weapons and equipment has not kept up. This is also one of the reasons why Su Lun came here.
Compared with dwarf miners, the cost of dog headed miners is extremely low. They don't need wages. They just need to manage food. Of course, the mining efficiency of dog headed miners is far lower than that of grey dwarves, but these are acceptable.
The banquet in Orlando is very lively. The grey dwarfs are not good babies. After drinking, these guys almost demolished the banquet hall one by one. Fortunately, vodka is very strong. After a while, when the wine comes up, everyone is drunk and unconscious.
"What a bunch of thick lines." Su Lun put down his glass and shook his head. He had made up his mind that he would never let these grey dwarfs watch the night or take any guard work in the future.
It was just a banquet. These grey dwarves didn't even leave a guard. They all came to drink, and they all drank like this. If they met the enemy, they wouldn't solve them all easily.
"Sir, the guards have been arranged," said a drow elf.
"It's hard for you." Su Lun nodded. These drow Elves were specially called back to the north city of the town.
After arranging the guards, Suellen left Orlando with secret silver and gold. When I returned to Zhenbei City, several dark clouds floated in the sky. Zhenbei city is located in the north, and the rain is far less abundant than that in the south. There is little heavy rain here. However, looking at the scope of the dark clouds, it seems that there will be a rainstorm.
As a result, as soon as the idea came out, the big bean raindrops fell, and then the sky was like a leaky pot, pouring rain. In the face of this weather, it is natural that no further construction can be carried out, and all construction sites are shut down for rest.
Rainfall delayed the construction period, but there was another problem. There were some slight water leaks in the houses where many refugee serfs lived. There is no way. The technical level of this era is limited. At the beginning, those camps were built in a hurry and did not intend to live for a long time. It is normal for rain leakage.
Fortunately, the thatched roof was not used at the beginning, otherwise it would have rained heavily outside and drizzled inside. It's OK in the city. Su Lun had asked for it when he was building. All houses used tiles. Although the cost is high, there will be no rain leakage.
The whole world seems to be hung with a water curtain. Ponding soon appears on the ground. Fortunately, the drainage system in Zhenbei city is very good. Rainwater flows outside the city through the drainage system, and there are no major problems in the city's roads. Some roads in Zhenbei city use stone roads, and the other part is stone slabs. Although the stone pavement is not comparable to stone slabs, However, after repeated compaction and extrusion, these gravel roads will not go down to a mud pit.
When she was in southern Karen City, what sulun hated most was the rain, because Karen city was like a bird like other cities in this era. There were few drainage channels in the city, and most of the roads were dirt roads. When it rained, the whole city became a land of Ze.
Moreover, the sewage flows across the city, and some dead mice or things suspected of excreta will float on the water from time to time. The best business in Karen is selling cloaks and boots.
Naturally, there is no such situation in Zhenbei City, but there are also some troubles. More than 50000 people live in the camp. The living environment of the camp is not good. Now it rains, and these people are likely to get sick. These are the population brought by sulun from northern provinces all the way. If there is an epidemic, it will be troublesome.
It's ok if you are strong. You can probably carry it, but not if you are weak. All grass-roots officials in the north of the town sent out to arrange food and hot water for those people. The climate in the northern wasteland is bad. Fortunately, the role of the harvest altar has been improved. Otherwise, just acclimatization can make many people sick.
There is always some trouble without a priest. A lightning flash across the sky, the whole world is illuminated, and it looks like the end of the world. It rained cats and dogs all day. If it was a house built of wood and thatch, it would have become a funnel.
At this time, the most popular place in the city is the tavern. The mercenaries of the caravan, the soldiers of the North Town and some people with some spare money all go to the tavern to drink. In this case, they don't have to work.
"If the wizard tower is completed, with the help of the wizard tower and array, the climate in the nearby area can be forcibly reversed." seeing the heavy rain outside, Hathaway frowned and said.
Su Lun shook her head slightly and held Hathaway in her arms. "It's better not to use this spell to change the sky."
"There is a harvest altar. Although the rain is a little heavy, it will not form a flood. Moreover, with the heavy rain, there is no need to irrigate the farmland."
"And although there is no problem with forcibly reversing the weather for the time being, it still has side effects after all."
Witches' spells sometimes say that the weather is right and the place is right. For example, in the current environment, if they cast flood, they will not only consume low, but also have great power. If they cast fireball, their power will be greatly reduced, and the difficulty of casting spells will also increase. Many times, witches also pay attention to following the trend.
Hathaway nodded and moved her body to make herself more comfortable. "By the way, how are you going to deal with the church? After you officially founded the country, this problem can no longer be avoided. Those churches will certainly notice here, and they will certainly ask for missionary work at that time."
"The influence of gods must be controlled within a certain range, otherwise the kingdom of St. Vilk is the best example."
Su Lun's expression became a little dignified: "I'll pay attention."
Sulun, the kingdom of St. Vilk, also knows that this is a * * * * kingdom. The whole kingdom believes in the sun god. In this country, the king must believe in the sun god to be eligible to inherit the throne. Similarly, he needs to go to the church in person to ascend the throne and coronate. Only when the church agrees, he is the legitimate king.
Even the people of this country are required to believe in the sun god. It can be said that the status of clergy in this country is the highest, and the royal family and nobility can only rank behind. In addition to paying various taxes, this country also has a tithe tax, that is, everyone needs to give one tenth of their income to the church.
At the beginning, the Welk kingdom was not like this. At the beginning, because the Sun God church provided help when the country was founded, the Welk Kingdom stipulated that only the Sun God church was allowed to preach. At the beginning, although the church was strong, it was still the king's decision, but after some things, the Church took power and finally became the present St. Vilk kingdom.
The original operation of the Sun God church also aroused the vigilance of other kingdoms. Although they did not dare to completely tear their faces with the church, they also began to restrict the church. At the same time, no country will limit the value to allow a church to preach. This practice also allows the churches to restrict each other.
The rainstorm stopped for a day. There was no serious waterlogging in the North Town, but some problems were exposed. Sulun had asked people to modify it, and there were more problems in the phase III project under construction. After all, the drainage system in the outer city was not established. After a day and a night, the soil was very soft and could not be constructed at all.
After the rain, Su Lun mobilized people to repair and clean up the city, and repaired the damaged houses. After the rainstorm, the sky was clear, and there would be no rainstorm in the northern wasteland for some time. The two rivers outside the city were flowing rapidly, and some hydraulic machinery on the bank also had large and small problems, which also needed to be repaired.
Although there is a harvest altar in the North Town, the weather is good here, but there are still a lot of troubles.
There are many things to do in urban construction. Fortunately, it is not the first time to have nothing. Due to the rainstorm, the project in the north of Zhencheng has been delayed for four days. In order to speed up the construction period, Su Lun also joined in. He had a whim to use magic on workers and slaves to speed up construction.
For example, group acceleration is added to all people to increase the working speed of these workers. For example, it is added to the workers to cheer up the whole army, boost morale, improve their strength and physical strength, and keep the workers in an excited state, reduce laziness and improve their work efficiency.
It is estimated that after these spells were created, Suellen was the first to bless the workers and slaves to work quickly. However, at present, the effect is still very good. The progress of the project has been increased by one third. Of course, this also has side effects, that is, the food consumption has been accelerated. After all, the energy is conserved. If you speed up the action, you will consume more and eat more naturally.
Su Lun doesn't care about the consumption of food. Now there is enough food in the north of the town. It's cost-effective to consume some food and speed up the progress.
