Chapter 147： open up medicine fields

  Chapter 147 Opening up the Medicine Field

  Fifty recruits are too exaggerated. There are only more than 400 people in Cold Winter Town. Floyd and Gareth Stanton think that recruiting another 20 recruits is enough.

  If these twenty recruits can all complete the training and become formal soldiers, plus the original ten soldiers, exactly three teams, it will be enough to ensure the safety of Cold Winter Town, and they can even take a proper rotation.

   "These matters are left to you to be fully responsible. For matters concerning the temporary barracks, you can just go to Edwin directly."

  David is not involved in specific affairs, not to mention he doesn't know how to train soldiers, and through previous conversations, he has discovered that the world seems to have some special methods for training soldiers, and he is very curious about it.

   Wait until the two guard knights are busy with their own affairs: one is going to conduct today's daily patrol; the other is starting to prepare for the recruitment of recruits.

  David glanced at Eva beside him, and asked about the situation of the pharmacist Cordell.

  If Freud hadn’t mentioned this pharmacist, he would have almost forgotten that there was such a pharmacist in the town: “What has that pharmacist Cordell been up to lately?”

   "Mr. Cordell usually walks around the vicinity of Cold Winter Town, as if observing the land situation."

   "Observe the land situation?"

"Well, Mr. Cordell came to me yesterday and said he wanted to reclaim a medicine field in the south of the village." Even if David didn't ask, Eva would report this to David: "He should have been looking for a suitable one before. place."

   "Oh! That's it..." When Cordel came to Cold Winter Town, the weather was still very cold, which was not suitable for planting medicinal materials.

   Moreover, Cordell is not familiar with the land and climate of Cold Winter Town, so he needs to observe for a period of time, so there is no movement.

   Now you should have completed the inspection and officially started your own work.

   "You can deal with this kind of thing directly."

  Eva just smiled sweetly, and then started to say the next thing: "Miss Sylvanas found me before and asked me something."

   "What did she ask you about?"

   "Something about elves."

"Elves? Oh..." David understood why Sylvanas wanted to ask Eva about the elves. He probably noticed that some people in Winter Town were looking at her and Liadrin strangely. Bar!

   Fortunately, most of the townspeople in Cold Winter Town are craftsmen from the Kingdom of Stormwind, and there are only a few farmers from Iron Tree Fort.

  Others such as Floyd, Gareth Stanton, Elias and pharmacist Cordell are all from King Tilan.

  The relationship between Iron Tree Fort and elves is extremely bad, but the people in Tilan King City only know some things, and they are not as hostile to elves as the people in Iron Tree Fort.

  If Freud and the others were from Fort Iron Tree, they would have asked themselves what happened to Sylvanas?

   After dealing with trivial matters for a while, David took Eva and Elias and found Cordell who was wandering south of Cold Winter Town.

   "My lord." Because he accepted the recruitment of Lord Glamorgan, strictly speaking, Cordell, like Gareth Stanton and Floyd, are all loyal to David's subordinates.

  In terms of affiliation, he is even closer than Elias Parker next to him.

  Elias was sent by the Kingdom of Tilan to David, not David's subordinate. He was loyal to the royal family of Tilan.

  But for some reason, the pharmacist has been treated coldly by David since he came to Cold Winter Town, and he didn't really have a private conversation until today.

   "Mr. Cordell."

   "Your Excellency, please call me Cordell." Cordell was very respectful, and his posture was very low.

   "I heard that you plan to cultivate a medicine field?"

   "Yes, my lord." Cordel simply explained that as a pharmacist, he must have a source of medicinal materials. If he is in the capital, he naturally doesn't have to worry about not having any medicinal materials to use.

   But after coming to Cold Winter Town, he could only choose to grow medicinal materials by himself. If he couldn't grow them, he could only go to the nearby big city, which is Iron Tree Castle, to purchase enough medicinal materials.

   Only in this way can he prepare various potions and help the baron solve various medical problems—this trouble is not limited to Baron Glamorgan's own needs.

  When a large-scale disease occurs in the territory, the pharmacist serving the lord needs to give solutions and suggestions.

   "Reclamation around here?"

   "Yes, my lord."

  David looked around. This place is located in the south of Cold Winter Town, and just north is Will's blacksmith shop, but there is a distance.

  In terms of location, this place is a bit far from Cold Winter Town.

"Is it a little far away from the town?" David didn't think the pharmacist was trying to play tricks. He followed him to such a remote place as Cold Winter Town, and he lived alone outside the town. It didn't matter to him. What an actual benefit.

   "The main reason is to avoid the busiest area of ​​the town."

  After Cordell explained, David understood the pharmacist, and deliberately set aside a space for development, allowing himself to open up medicine fields in the outermost area.

   "If this is the reason, this side is even more inappropriate. It's better to go to the north." David suggested that Cordell should not cultivate medicine fields in the south of the town: "This side may become a residential area for new residents."

   "But the north side is under construction, right?"

   Cordell ran to the south because there was a large construction site to the north of the town. Only the area near the Cold Winter River was not "harmed" by the craftsmen, but he couldn't cultivate medicine fields there because it was too close to the river.

   "The edge of the Winter Forest should also be suitable."

  David refers to the open space on the south side of the Winter Forest, to the west of the simple railroad track that connects the mine to the construction site.

"Well, it's really suitable there." Cordell thought for a while, and it might be more suitable there than here, so he decided to open up medicine fields there: "My lord, I heard from Knight Stanton that a new village has begun to be established nearby. ?”

   "Yes." David looked at Cordell, wondering what the pharmacist wanted to say?

   "In that case, there will soon be a caravan coming to Cold Winter Town."

"so…"

   "My lord, I may need to purchase a large amount of medicinal materials from the caravan."

  David finally understood what Cordell wanted to say. This and the two knights came to him for the same reason: money!

   At the same time, he also remembered that he also had not paid Cordell.

   However, what Cordell wants is not his own wages, but work funds.

  In theory, the funds for his purchase of medicinal materials must be provided by the lord, so the medicines prepared by the pharmacist are the property of the lord.

  In addition to receiving the due remuneration, the pharmacist’s extra income mainly comes from the lord’s reward, and usually does not need to rely on selling medicine to live.

   "You can ask Eva to withdraw part of the funds later. If it is not enough, you can ask Eva for it again."

   "I see, my lord."

   After coming for so long, these people who came from the capital are all aware of it.

  The real person in charge of Cold Winter Town is actually the young woman Eva McKenna. It seems that he is the butler of Cold Winter Town and the chief assistant officer of the Lord of Glamorgan.

   But no one underestimates this beautiful woman, because Eva does the job well.

   Moreover, after observation, everyone found that this Eva McKenna seems...seems...probably...not that kind of relationship with Baron Glamorgan.

   "Ahem, my lord!"

  Thinking of this, Cordell suddenly remembered what was important, and whispered to David, "Although you are healthy and energetic, you should exercise some restraint..."

  Cordel secretly handed a bottle to David while no one noticed.

  David took the small bottle in a daze, and then realized what Cordell meant.

   "..."

   Secretly sighed, the sound insulation of the new home can no longer be so bad. He put the bottle away casually, and walked back with Eva and Elias who pretended they hadn't seen or heard anything.

After getting the permission, Cordell went directly to the north of the town. He planned to determine the location of the medicine field first, and learned from the baron. .

  David returned to the table in front of his cabin. As the temperature rises, he prefers to deal with things here. Even if there is nothing to deal with, it is a pleasure to just sit and look at the surrounding scenery.

   Before he had time to sit down, he noticed that several people were walking towards Cold Winter Town from a distance, led by Gareth Stanton. Judging from their clothes, they should be ordinary civilians.

  Standing by the wooden table, waiting until Gareth Stanton brought someone to the front.

   "My lord, these are people who want to settle down in Cold Winter Town."

   Gareth Stanton explained the situation clearly in one sentence. After David nodded, he turned his attention to these civilians.

   There are four people in total, three are in their early twenties, and one is around 27 or 8. They are all young people.

   "Welcome to Cold Winter Town."

  David carefully looked at the young men, they all looked thin and their complexions were not very good. But David didn't dislike it. He believed that as long as they recuperated for a few days, these young people would soon recover and contribute to the development of Cold Winter Town.

  Since King Abelson helped David promote Cold Winter Town all over the country, David was looking forward to people from all over the country coming to join him.

  He had heard that people came to the northern plains one after another, but very few came to Cold Winter Town.

  To be exact, only one person has come so far.

   Until today, I finally saw more civilians who wanted to settle in Cold Winter Town. Maybe this is the beginning of the population explosion?

  While David was imagining a bright future here, Elias on the side had already introduced David's identity to several people: "The one in front of you is the lord of Cold Winter Town, Baron David Glamorgan."

   Taking advantage of the situation, he welcomed several people.

   "Rinwinter Town welcomes you very much. As long as you are willing to work hard, you will get whatever you want here!"
