Chapter 174

Two teams of well-equipped cavalry escorted a huge carriage along a simple road. These cavalry are in pairs, keeping pace with each other. They are tall, their eyes are frozen, and there are rose patterns on the fine iron lock armour. The carriage escorted by the cavalry is four meters long and two meters wide. The green teak carriage is wrapped with red copper. The red copper skin is polished. It is also engraved with exquisite rose patterns, which looks gorgeous and thick.

In the carriage, Sylvia's star eyes closed slightly and enjoyed the aftertaste of happiness. She opened her blue eyes and saw Victor lying motionless on the antelope velvet pad pretending to be dead. She couldn't help laughing and reaching out her slender hand to touch her lover's forehead.

The daily life of the local nobles is relaxed and monotonous. The affairs of the territory are handled by the village head, town head and officials at all levels, and the family affairs are handled by the housekeeper. In order to protect the animal resources of the territory, the hunting event can only be held once a year. In the rest of the time, in addition to grinding their morale, they work hard to reproduce their blood. Many knights and nobles have more than one lover, but Sylvia is an exception.

When communicating with the element sea, high-level Knights must strengthen their faith, otherwise they will be assimilated by the element. First of all, the knight's belief cannot be the pursuit of power. There is no power comparable to the element sea. The knight who pursues power will be assimilated by the element sea immediately. We can't take lust as sustenance, because it's too simple for knights to get it without stepping into the peak. The vast majority of knights take guarding as their belief, guarding the Kingdom, the family and the family. Therefore, knights do not abstain, but they do not indulge.

For a long time, in addition to their own guardian beliefs, they temporarily lost the joys and sorrows of ordinary people and became indifferent and ruthless. In order to regain the fun of life and step into the legend field, peak Knights often need to return to normal people's family life to comfort their cold heart.

Sylvia entered the peak field with the belief of guarding the family and encountered the same problem. But she is still an extremely rare flame gold knight. The flame gold knight was called the divine knight in the wizard age. Divine Knights represent powerful and untouchable. They can't bear offspring. They will also destroy the element bit of the knight's partner and turn it into an ordinary aristocrat. After Sylvia reached the peak, in order to help her get rid of the influence of the element sea, the old Duke of York family ordered his eldest son's orphan that whoever married Sylvia was the heir of the family. Finally, enbisser York accepted this responsibility. As a result, he got a title but became an ordinary nobleman. The Duke of York, who had lost his knight form, was full of defects in Sylvia's eyes and was kicked away from her. From then on, Sylvia had fun growing roses until Victor appeared in her life.

The life level of Victor, who awakens the blood of the moon elf, can be comparable to that of the Silver Knight, which is why Sylvia is willing to get close to him. However, lover is only a dispensable adjustment for Sylvia. It is the faith of the guardian family that can really move her. In this regard, Victor gave her too many surprises. Purple cane wine, giant brick kiln and rock brick made her happy, and she was excited by the farming and animal husbandry system and water conservancy and irrigation system. Sylvia finally came to the door.

A cold air current spread from his forehead to his whole body. Victor felt refreshed and tired. He could not fit it anymore. Seeing Sylvia raise her hand and prepare to pull a rope in the carriage, he hurriedly said, "no! I'll help you."

This rope is connected to the bell outside the carriage. As soon as the bell rings, the female trainee Knights outside will come in and serve them to wash and dress. Victor doesn't like strangers peeping into his privacy.

"I'll do it!"

Sylvia smiled like a flower, put on a spider silk dress, and carefully dressed Victor, with a gentle look like a little wife. Seeing Victor's strange face, Sylvia understood what he meant and said angrily, "do you think I can't even dress?"

Victor Shanshan said, "the top Knight dressed me. I'm not used to it."

"Didn't you get used to it when you were with the top knight?" Sylvia glanced sideways at Victor.

Victor touched his nose and said honestly, "I'm still a little uncomfortable. I'm afraid one will be crushed by you accidentally." Seeing Sylvia's Willow eyebrows tend to stand up, he remedied, "but who makes you so beautiful?"

"Ha ha."

Sylvia smiled and leaned against victor at the most comfortable angle. Whether true or false, Victor's love words always make her happy.

"Victor, the stream reservoir you designed is very practical. How did you think of it?"

The working people of China build dams and dikes in low-lying areas surrounded by mountains on three sides, intercept mountain torrents, form reservoirs, irrigate land in drought, divert water in flood, raise fish and generate electricity. There are many benefits. However, the reservoirs on earth are often tens of meters deep, and the dams are poured with reinforced concrete. Victor has no such conditions. He can only build small sluice gates, ditches two or three meters wide and small reservoirs eight to ten meters deep to achieve the purpose of water storage. The water storage capacity of this small reservoir is quite limited. It can irrigate about 8000 mu of cultivated land at most. Fortunately, it has low cost and is safe enough.

Victor thought for a moment and replied, "I didn't think of it, but saw and heard it."

"See and hear?" Sylvia looked at Victor in surprise, reached out and rubbed his hair, and said angrily, "don't make me worry, tell me quickly."

Holding Sylvia's hand, Victor smiled: "What do you usually do when it rains? Arrange flowers? Sleep? Or enjoy the rain? I used to do nothing, but after becoming the Lord, I began to inspect my territory personally, because I didn't have a housekeeper or officials. In the rainy season, I saw many small rivers flowing into Heishui River from the West. In other seasons, they were just dry waterways ... just when I need water, I wonder where the water comes from? So I asked the Lingmin, and there happened to be mountain people among them. They told me that when it rains, the rain in the mountains converges from high to low, forming mountain torrents and flowing into lakes or rivers... The idea of building streams and reservoirs came into being. "

"Then you have a bolder idea. Draw water from the Jinshui River to form a stable water system and irrigate millions of mu of farmland. But you don't intend to tell me. If master Edwin didn't see through your attempt, when would you hide it?" Sylvia raised her willow eyebrows and asked with a smile.

Victor really didn't intend to sell his artificial river plan directly to the York family, and he still had many problems to figure out. If he wanted to build a large-scale water conservancy project, he couldn't do without timing, geography and human resources. Timing was the vacuum period after the ant disaster; geography was the Jinshui River, the mountains of man horse hills and the Heihe River; human and material resources were not so simple Single.

In essence, man-made river is the product of centralization rather than enfeoffment. Even in the case of centralization, it is not uncommon for villages to fight blood and head because of the problem of water, not to mention the lords who run their own affairs. Man-made river involves a series of problems such as repair and dredging. How can more than a dozen lords, large and small, coordinate with each other? It can be said that the resulting artificial river management coordination mechanism has shaken the foundation of the enfeoffment system.

The change of the political environment is unpredictable. Victor just wants to develop his strength and doesn't want to cause great turbulence. However, if he doesn't lead the Jinshui River at this time and wait for the fish people on the river bank to reproduce and grow again, victor will really miss the good opportunity.

"I haven't thought it over." Victor said with a stiff head.

"I didn't think about it!"

Sylvia came up to victor and breathed out like blue. Her blue eyes were full of laughter and appreciation. Victor realized that Sylvia also thought of the political problems brought by the artificial river, and then heard her say, "honey, we don't have to worry, don't we?"

"The stream reservoir is enough. Let go of the man-made river running through the man-made hills. I can help you build the first sluice, the first man-made canal and the first reservoir. However, the man-made river led by Randall is built by yourself, and I can give you some support. But you must promise me a few conditions."

Victor was overjoyed and hurriedly asked, "what conditions?"

"First, you should help master Edwin to complete the site selection of the stream reservoir and prepare for the connection of the artificial river in the future."

"Second, after the completion of the artificial irrigation facilities led by Randall, half of the grain led by Randall will be sold to the York family at half the market price."

Victor thought about it and nodded: "no problem. I designed the farming and animal husbandry system and water conservancy system to increase the strength of the human horse hills and prepare for the next ant tide."

It is the consensus of the human kingdom that ant people invade the human horse hills again, and the traditional tactics of Knight plus castle can no longer deal with a large number of ant people who can't be defeated. The best way to deal with the ant disaster is to block them at the entrance of the Everglades. But Sylvia and Victor think that the ant colony may bypass the three fortresses and attack from the north of the human horse hills in order to deal with this situation Moreover, the man horse hill must have more fortresses, castles and soldiers. Therefore, the man horse hill needs more population. This is the starting point of Victor's territory development strategy and the basis for Sylvia's cooperation with victor. Victor's secretive attitude makes Sylvia very dissatisfied.

"Third, tell me what you think in time! Otherwise, I'll take phoenicos away!" Sylvia stretched out her tender white finger and shook it in front of Victor's nose.

Victor nodded with a bitter smile and said, "I promise!"

"Fourth..."

"And fourth?!"

Victor was shocked, but Sylvia said in a straight voice: "I hope you keep the secrets of farming and animal husbandry system, water conservancy and irrigation facilities, giant brick kiln and rock brick. From now on, farming and animal husbandry system and water conservancy project are the inventions of master Edwin, and the giant brick kiln is the invention of interior official Anthony... I know these creations can make you leave your own traces in history. But I don't want you to have an accident, let alone streams and reservoirs The sluice can make the Neville crazy. They will try to tie you away, so... "

"No problem! I promised." Said Victor repeatedly.

Sylvia thought it was the most difficult one. Victor agreed so simply. She looked at Victor's face carefully, shook her head and said with a smile: "you don't look like a 19-year-old aristocrat at all, but like a full... Like... Forget it, maybe the idea of genius is different from others."

Victor smiled and thought to himself, "I didn't invent these things originally. I just get benefits. What's the use of fame..."

"Come on, what compensation do you want? How about I choose a female trainee knight for you as a personal maid? They must be happy..." Sylvia smiled.

"Er... No, no! I have you enough." Victor quickly waved his hand and refused Sylvia's "kindness". He has so many secrets that even Nicole has to hide. How can he let other female Knights intervene in his life.

Victor thought for a moment and added, "just help me convince the priest sent by the church to supervise."

"Honey, your problem is not a problem for me." Sylvia said: "I have ordered that the northernmost fortress be built first, and the people of the church will go there. As for the fortress here, I will leave 10000 people for phoenicus in two years. The kingdom will transport stones, but will not provide food. The food of the hired workers is supplied by our York family for two years, so you have two years to use these manpower... Victor, let me see your ability!"

"I won't let you down!" Said Victor confidently.

"By the way, Sauron Wimbledon has sent someone to build a castle in his territory, and the territory to your North borders Sauron's territory. I suggest you send someone to garrison early so that the territory will not be occupied by them." Sylvia warned.

Victor frowned. He wanted to come to the northernmost territory of the man horse hill. As the base for the free people's business group to go north, he didn't have time to take care of it. He didn't expect Sauron to become a neighbor of that territory, and Sauron's territory also isolated the 300 square kilometer territory from the man horse hill. Now, Victor must consider sending someone to garrison, otherwise later If you want to send someone over again, you'll have to take the mountain road.

"I see."

Sylvia sat up straight from Victor's arms and knocked on the wall, and the team gradually stopped.

"Victor, you should go back. I don't want you to spend the night in the wild."
