Lord: Marry the villain's daughter at the beginning?

As soon as Linde proposed the resolution to build public toilets in the territory, Lena immediately agreed and it was quickly passed.

Lena raised the priority of this task by one level and even paid for it as an extra reward.

There is no way. Although the capital city in the game is bright and beautiful, the level of civilization on the border is hard to describe. It can only be said that it perfectly restores the Middle Ages.

Even during the Age of Discovery, most Western cities, especially Western port cities, were littered with feces. People even had to wear round-brimmed hats to avoid being splashed with last night's filth from upstairs, and wear high heels to avoid being exposed to the fresh feces of the morning.

Not to mention composting feces, some ordinary people don’t even have the concept of toilets and just do it on the spot.

Reina, who had been living a noble life, had never considered this problem at the beginning, and Linde, who had been fleeing, had not noticed this problem either. As a result, the territory is now stinking, especially after the people have had their meals. If no toilets are built, Linde feels that he will be marinated.

"My Lord, the water is already boiling."

Lila walked into the tent and reported to Linde with a stack of experimental reports in her hand.

"It's the same as before. Although the boiling water produces steam, it still doesn't produce enough propulsion as you said."

Listening to Lila's report, Linde took the experimental report and scratched his hair in annoyance.

Boiling water doesn't work in this world.

Although the process of boiling water is exactly the same as in the previous life, the power generated by steam is much smaller and is limited to making the boiling water roll twice.

Lind also suspected that the water in this world might not be water at all, but except that steam could not generate power, all physical reactions were almost exactly the same as the water in his previous life.

Something was blocking or diluting the power of the steam, and the most likely thing was magic.

The experimental report also verified Lind's conjecture. To be more precise, it was the water element in this world that diluted the power generated by the steam. However, under the current conditions, it could only be tested to this extent.

As for what the power of the diluted water element becomes, and whether the water element itself can become a new power, no one knows.

In short, relying on boiling water to generate power is definitely not feasible. If we want to start industrialization, we must find other ways to generate stable power.

What worries Lind most is that if the power of steam can be diluted, will the power of gunpowder be diluted by the fire element? What is the microscopic system of this world like? Will the actions of microorganisms be different from those in the previous life?

In that case, even the manure pile that is now being built on the territory may not be successful.

Although Lind has always believed that the greatest advantage of time travelers is not just modern technology such as gunpowder steam engines, but rather the ideas of standardized industrialization and insights that are far ahead of their time, Lind still felt a little uncomfortable when he really couldn't boil water.

However, Linde quickly adjusted his mindset. After all, this was a magical world. Insisting on boiling water to create a power source was a bit too far-fetched. Wasn't there a convenient energy source like magic?

I have inherited the heroine's skills and attributes and can rub the holy light by hand, but I still hold on to the physics of my previous life, which is a bit idealistic.

Moreover, the physics from the previous life is not completely useless. At least now it is not the state of "physics no longer exists". Both pulleys and levers can be used, and gravity and other things are the same as in the previous life. Linde does not have to worry about becoming a hydrogen man.

Linde, who had adjusted his mindset, put down the report and asked, "Did the sugar production department successfully replicate the previous results?"

"Although the quality is relatively poor, the first batch has been successful, but..."

Lila hesitated and said, "It still cannot be mass-produced."

"I understand. Don't worry. Bring a batch of finished products first and help me arrange the trip to the downstream town of Fassen."

"As ordered."

Lila lifted her skirt gracefully, but did not leave immediately. Instead, she stared at Lind with dark circles under her eyes.

In desperation, Lind had to say what Lila had said to Reina: "Maid Lila, there are still many problems in the territory that have not been solved. You can't rest yet."

Although Lila's face was full of fatigue, Linde had no choice. Reina's knights were not willing to work under him. Now he could only hire people according to the standard of his previous life where he would use the knights to death.

Although the attempt to boil the water failed, the sugar making was a success.

There were beets in the territory that could be made into white sugar. After washing, shredding, soaking, heating, sedimentation, steaming, and finally natural cooling, after repeated experiments, Lind was finally able to improve his food a little.

However, due to the lack of professional equipment, the whole process is very primitive. Even the sugar separator can only use the simplest crank and wooden barrel, and not much sugar can be produced in a day.

Even though Linde adopted assembly line operations, it was unable to make up for the shortcomings of the equipment and output was still very low.

But it was enough. When the female workers in the territory saw the separated white sugar crystals, their hands were shaking with excitement.

Lind learned from Lena that almost all white sugar in this era was made by alchemists, and the process was extremely complicated and the materials were very abstract, even including bat tears and frog urine. It took a lot of strange things to refine some crystalline white sugar.

Until now, those people still believe that it was Lind who secretly used some magic, rather than relying on his own strength, to refine these crystal white sugars.

This is also related to the assembly line operation, and these workers have no way of knowing the entire sugar-making process, but Lind does not intend to correct it.

The complicated sugar-making process was probably created because of market demand. After all, the more complicated and mysterious the production process is, the more the nobles like it.

The raw materials of the sugar brought by the Lars family were more acceptable to Lind than those mentioned above. At least they were made from bee feces, so the raw materials were sweet after all.

Well, it seems that this is not very acceptable.

It can only be said that due to the existence of magic, the technology tree of this world is a bit absurdly abstract. The beets on the roadside are obviously sweet, but because the nobles despise this kind of food eaten by the untouchables, no one considers using it to make sugar. Instead, they are all pursuing completely meaningless things made with magic.

As for the yellow mud water spraying method, this thing is no different from alchemy for Lind now. Yellow mud water is not ordinary mud. Some people speculate that it is a kind of alkaline clay, but no one has been able to reproduce how this alkaline clay is made.

This is not a record error, it is simply lost.

In his previous life, Linde hated those people who denied the entire book "The Exploitation of the Works of Nature" just because one place could not be reproduced. At least the dragon-bone waterwheel recorded in it was still in use in Linde's hometown in his previous life, and Linde had even stepped on it when he was a child.

Lind had just finished drawing the blueprints for the dragon-bone waterwheel and was ready to promote it in his territory.

What is giving Linde the biggest headache right now is not the knights of Reina who cause him trouble from time to time, nor the occasional conflicts between Linde's original subjects and those caused by the Lars family.

The territory's biggest problem is the lack of labor.

In fact, the territory now has a population of seven or eight hundred. Excluding Reina's knights and the old soldiers who were arranged by Lind as clerks, there are still too few people who can work.

It takes people to build toilets, it takes people to construct houses, it takes people to open up wasteland, and it takes people to conduct the experiments arranged by Linde. Even though Lena helps Linde go into the mountains to look for minerals every day (actually just to play in the mountains), there is still a serious shortage of population arrangements.

Although experiments on cement and gunpowder cannot be started now due to material problems, it is obvious that they require a large amount of manpower, and they cannot be serfs who know nothing.

The letter that Lena wrote to Grand Duke Lars has been sent. Lind can only pray that Grand Duke Lars can send more craftsmen to the territory and stop sending luxury goods, especially sugar made from bee droppings.

As for the matter of someone replacing the heroine, Lind has asked Lena to find that person, although it is a bit strange to let the villain daughter in the game find the original heroine in the game.

Of course, due to the lag in information in this era, Lind didn't know that before Reina rebelled, the heroine of the original work had already rebelled.
