Chapter 132

Sylvia held her chest in her hands and looked helplessly at victor who occupied her sofa. She said angrily, "Victor, that's my sofa!"

Victor lay on Sylvia's favorite sofa with his head on his hands. Facing the questioning of the hostess, he still struggled to sit up and said, "I've just finished today's exercise. I'm very tired. I can't help lying down for a while before I see you. To tell the truth, your sofa is really comfortable and has a particularly cool feeling."

Sylvia looked at Victor carefully, saw that he looked depressed and said sympathetically, "well, you can continue to lie down for a while. The scorpion lion skin really has the effect of restoring energy... Hey, you can only lie down for a while. I just killed two ant leaders!"

Before Sylvia finished, Victor lay down again. He didn't treat himself as a guest now. "Sylvia, what can I do for you today?"

Victor's tired and lazy appearance made Sylvia shake her head and laugh, and secretly rejoice. She always felt that Victor had some resistance to herself, and now she looked much better. Of course, Sylvia didn't know she had infringed Victor's patent, and Victor already knew that there was no patent in the world.

"In two months, the Senate of the kingdom will begin to vote on our proposal. Do you have anything to add?" Sylvia sat down in the chair opposite victor and said softly.

"So fast?" Victor sat up again and asked in surprise.

Victor and the York family have reached a consensus. He ceded 3000 square kilometers of land around the entrance of the Everglades to the York family. The York family will set up a baron there and build a fortress at the entrance of the Everglades to defend against the next wave of ant man attacks. At the same time, Victor also handed over the manufacturing method of special bricks to the York family and instructed them how to operate the giant brick kiln. Victor's reward was to retain his territory and title.

Victor has no objection to this. There are three entrances to the Everglades. Unless he can block them all, the ant people will still invade the man horse hills, and it takes at least 2000 troops to stick to a fortress, which is a huge burden. Since the York family is willing to undertake this important task, Victor has no reason to object. However, the Senate has decided to vote, which means that the kingdom of Gambis will completely solve the problem of ant tide. But vikdopa had to wait a little longer so that his secret fortress could be completely formed.

"We can't delay any more. We must eliminate the ant people before the water season. If we miss the sowing of this season, the Lords of the whole west will be involved, which will have disastrous consequences." Sylvia said in a deep voice.

Now, 120000 people have gathered in Heibao town. The York family has taken out all the grain reserves, but it can't last until the end of the wind season. Because ant people deliberately destroy crops, the grain harvest of Renma Hill must be gone this year, and the surrounding Lords have suffered losses to varying degrees. If everyone misses the opportunity to sow this year, it is not Renma Hill family that needs assistance.

Victor didn't know that chaimi was expensive, so he had to surrender after receiving Sylvia's charming eyes, "I have no problem."

"Let's talk about our problem." Sylvia gathered her golden hair and said, "you took out the manufacturing technology of rock brick, and you invented the operation mode of giant brick kiln. I need to build three fortresses in three years, so I need you to try to increase the production of rock brick, and help me find a way to prevent the leakage of the manufacturing method of rock brick."

Victor wrinkled his eyebrows. The operation of the huge brick kiln requires many people to participate in it. People have many eyes. It is almost impossible to keep the manufacturing method of rock bricks secret unless the York family has absolutely loyal alchemists like themselves.

"Sylvia, you should know that as long as you start producing rock bricks, you can't stop others from coveting. Moreover, there are so many people involved in making rock bricks..." Victor said gently.

"I know what you said, but I need five years to build more fortresses in the man horse hills. I don't want other lords to obtain the method of making rock bricks before forming a defensive advantage." Sylvia sighed first and said with expectation, "Victor, you are very smart. You can design division of labor and cooperation, and you will help me get enough time, right?"

Victor thought for a while and said with a smile, "it must be no problem in five years. It can even be kept secret for a longer time. The production mode of division of labor and cooperation is the key!"

Victor's method is very simple. Let the mower harvest more than five kinds of weeds, burn them into ash, classify them and put them into different containers. The embryo maker takes away the designated container and blends the golden grass ash into the clay embryo in proportion to finally make the brick embryo. In this way, neither the mower nor the embryo maker knows which kind of grass ash is added, or which kinds of grass ash, or all of the grass ash.

"When making rock bricks, the proportion of gold grass ash is very important. It is almost impossible for those lords to find out the secret. They will only keep trying, and they will certainly not succeed, because they have to solve the problem of building huge brick kilns and the temperature of firing rock bricks. However, when you start cultivating gold grass, the secret can't be kept. Also, those lords always lose When you are patient, you will also be under great pressure. I suggest you sell finished rock bricks, which will make you much easier. "

Sylvia thought quietly for a moment and smiled, "great idea! Victor, I really didn't read you wrong. You are really a genius. But I don't suggest you sell rock bricks. Don't you blame me for being greedy?"

"From then on, the rock brick was invented by the York family. However, you should help me build a castle in the territory for free. I'm not talking about the six meter high one." Victor smiled.

The benefits of rock brick are huge, but it is also very hot. Victor's current strength can also keep the interests of rock brick, but he has a more ambitious goal. Compared with establishing a semi commercial and semi military organization, the interests of rock brick have become a chicken rib. As long as someone participates, no matter how perfect confidentiality measures are. The production method of rock brick will leak out sooner or later. It is better to usurp more wealth and develop greater power for the sake of rock brick and other nobles.

Sylvia chuckled and said softly, "Dear Victor, I will help you build a 40 meter high castle. For your own castle, help me find a way to increase the output of rock bricks!"

"There is no other way to invest more people and build more giant brick kilns."

If there is no breakthrough in technology, it can only be solved in terms of scale. Victor spread his hand. This is the only way he can think of.

Sylvia frowned and said, "I can only mobilize 5000 people to build ten giant brick kilns at most."

"But Heibao town has 120000 people, and the human horse hills are so large that it can accommodate more people. Why don't you recruit more free people?" Victor asked in surprise.

"Victor, 120000 people are the limit that our York family can accommodate. In this ant disaster, we not only lost 2 knights, 11 trainee knights, but also lost 1000 elite soldiers. These soldiers are loyal vassals to the family. Without them, the potential of our family has been weakened. After all, we can't solve it with the work point system like you The problem is, in fact, your work point system has proved to be greatly flawed. " Sylvia sighed, and her tone became heavy.

Victor was silent. The York family did suffer heavy losses this time. Although the high-end force was still intact, the middle class was badly hit. The Lord of the world has no way to manage the territory. He simply enfeoffs the land and lets the vassal complete the activities of planting, animal husbandry, forging, training soldiers and so on. The Lord only needs to collect offerings from the vassals in proportion. By employing free people to engage in production activities, the feudal ministers also promoted those who were practical and willing to work to become the leaders of the family. A vassal can manage at least 30 people. The loss of 1000 vassal means that 30000 labor forces are lost. How much less wealth will be created if 30000 labor forces are lost?

Victor suddenly understood why the York family handed over 12000 square kilometers of land to themselves at the beginning, not because they were generous, but because the York family could not control so much land at all. The York family, like themselves, needs time to strengthen themselves.

Thinking of this, Victor suddenly became serious and said, "Sylvia, I'm afraid it's not a matter of increasing the output of brick kilns, but how many troops can you build?"

Sylvia looked at Victor in surprise and said, "if I count 120000 people, I can form an army of 5000 people, but it will take ten years. What's the problem?"

The standard equipment of York's family is worth 80 kingsol, equivalent to 28 cows. Moreover, an elite soldier still needs years of hard training and learning to skillfully use weapons and equipment. Sylvia said it would take ten years to expand the army to 5000, which is indeed true. But Victor's heart sank.

"Not enough! This is far from enough! Sylvia, if you want to keep the Renma hills, in addition to three fortresses blocking the exit of the Everglades, you have to build more fortresses in the north of the Renma hills! You need more soldiers to guard and more people to engage in production and construction!" Said Victor in a deep voice.

Sylvia said suspiciously, "Victor, are you worried that the kingdom of Dodo will attack us from the north? I can tell you that dodo people will not touch the human horse hills. They are also unwilling to deal with ant people."

Victor shook his head and said, "I'm worried about ant people!"

"Ant man? Then you don't have to worry. Although they are fierce, they are very stiff. The entrance of the Everglades is low-lying. We have built three fortresses, which can block them in the Everglades. Moreover, we have killed 74 ant man leaders. I believe there won't be so many ant men in the next ant disaster. In fact, if it wasn't for the ant man who would destroy crops, they wouldn't have died What's terrible. " Sylvia smiled and shook her head.

Victor sighed. No one knows ant man better than him. Victor knew very well that ant talents were not his biggest enemy. The alchemy tower robbed ant people of their wealth and soul fire, which threatened the survival of ant people. This ant tide can only be regarded as the foraging behavior of ant man controllers, so the next ant tide must be aggressive. This is also the reason why Victor is willing to work closely with the York family. As long as the York family can keep the human horse hills, Victor expects the ant people to come and send benefits to himself.

But if the York family can't keep the man and horse hills, Victor can only run away. Therefore, Victor especially needs the York family to buy some development time for himself. Therefore, he can't sit back and watch Sylvia make mistakes, and even try to support the York family.

"Sylvia, the ant man is not as simple as you think! You told me that the ant man destroyed an alien empire. Can the rigid ant man do this? Will they come back for revenge after the ant man leader has been killed so many? If the ant man is blocked in the swamp, will they go north along the mountains and look for a new exit? If they enter the kingdom of Dodo, what will happen Will the Lord of the kingdom of modor lead the ant man to the man horse hills? "

Victor's series of questions plunged Sylvia into meditation.
