Little Lord of the Beast World

Moon Lake is the busiest in the early morning. Animals came to the lake to drink water in groups. They were all in peace, but suddenly there was a noise from far and near, which scared away a group of vigilant animals.

More than 20 strong young people are rushing towards the lake.Some of them held farm tools such as wooden shovels and rakes newly made by the carpentry workshop, and some carried baskets, talking and laughing loudly while walking quickly.

A young man with a few dirty marks on his face who obviously hadn't washed his face in the morning asked his friend beside him curiously: "Why does our little lord always have so many thoughts? What's the use of digging the mud by the lake?"

The friend glanced at his dirty face in distaste: "Why do you ask so many questions? You can do whatever you are asked to do. Anyway, pick a trip and count. The work points are so high, and you will have to eat later."

"I just want to ask. Although I have to do more work every day than before, I also have more food to share, and I don't stop working." The dirty-faced young man muttered, "Like those lazy bastards, they are all punished. I went to dig a hole, and with the fat manager and those people, the work is tiring, and I don’t give work points, I really deserve it.” Seeing other people’s misfortune, I don’t seem to be so tired anymore.The dirty-faced youth gloated a little.

His mouth was rarely idle, and he continued to mutter: "I'm just curious, what will our little lord do again, as expected of the beast god's darling, he can always come up with such strange things. It's just too hard, Teaching people how to work during the day and teaching people at night, children don’t have much rest.”

My friend knows this guy's virtue, and pouted slightly: "What do the lords do? You can arrange it? You just can't learn to count. You can't count to twenty when the lord made you several times that day, I just want to beat you to death just looking at it, the kid didn't even frown, he has such a good temper."

When the embarrassing thing was mentioned, the dirty-faced young man was a little embarrassed. He coughed a few times before covering up his distress: "Oh, can you blame me? That thing is too difficult! Those numbers look weird. I saw them. I feel dizzy, listening to a class is more tiring than doing a day's work, it's better to go out and dig the soil. I really admire that guy Xiao Hui, the lord even gave him a class alone, how did he survive?"

"Hmph, who doesn't want the lord to teach alone. That guy, because he is a guest, pesters the lord all day long." A younger half-year-old boy interjected angrily.The lord is so cute, but he has to work hard to teach a guy from a foreign race. The half-grown boy felt sour: "I can't learn anything, it means that our little lord has a good temper, otherwise he would have fought out."

As a result, before he finished his words, he was mercilessly ridiculed by his companions: "Haha, you really want to beat him out, but how many times have you lost to him in wrestling?"

The half-grown boy blushed, and held back for a while before explaining in a low voice: "That's me, I haven't practiced much before, if I practice more... Hmph, the lord praised me that I can count." He proudly Raise your chin.In order to see the little lord every day, I insisted on attending the evening class for so long, and finally I was able to count to a hundred. I was really moved.

Speaking of class, there was a young man beside him complaining depressedly: "Our little lord is good at everything, but he likes to let people go to class, and we don't want to join the scoring team. Why do we learn that thing? I really want to know, which royal capital is it? The guy who came up with this thing, adding and subtracting, will cause trouble!" A vicious look wished to find out the guy who invented numbers and beat him up.I didn't say anything, it seems like another scumbag.

The young people chatted lively about the latest news in the territory, and soon came to the lake, and began to throw their arms and dig the soil.

These people dig the earth not to build a house, but to make pottery.At the meeting that day, Lin said solemnly again that he came up with a possible way to make pottery by referring to the notes of those scholars.The reason he is looking for now is more and more perfunctory, and he doesn't even bring the animal skin notes. Anyway, a group of orcs have never questioned it.

In daily life, pottery is more indispensable than paper to ordinary tribes. If successful, it can become a key product in future trade exports.And just like paper, he didn't plan to keep the pottery making technology private, and when the technology matured, he could also pass it on to the small and medium-sized tribes selected for cooperation.

Xuefeng leads only one or two hundred laborers, so there is no need to hide it, because there are endless good things to be done.There are a lot of ideas in Lin's mind, but it's a pity that there are not enough people and talents.The surrounding tribes have developed, and various commodities can be sold.All counting on selling the capital, the risk is too great.In the royal capital, they are weak and weak, and they have no ability to protect themselves when they meet a greedy big tribe.

After Lin finished explaining, Wu suddenly stood up from the mat, bowed to Dongfang with a serious expression, and kept chanting something.

At first Lin didn't understand what happened to Wu, could it be that he doubted himself?Lin had a plan to deal with it in advance.But after listening carefully, I found that Wu was thanking the great beast god for making their lord so smart...

Lin was silent.Wu likes to attribute all miraculous things to the beast gods, which is also good, so as to save him from explaining.

What Lin didn't know was that Wu and the others had discussed it in private, and had acquiesced that their little lord was the beast god's darling.In the Beastman Continent, everyone likes to refer to those talented and lucky people as the darlings of the Beast God, so is there anything wrong with their little lords being so smart?

There must be nothing wrong with that.Xiaolin's little brain is better than most adults, and what he said is more convincing. Wu and the others all agree with it, and the matter of firing pottery is quickly put on the agenda.

It is best to fire pottery in a cave, which can maintain high temperature.Dan Lin had no experience in building caves, so he was worried about collapse, so he decided to dig a small tunnel first, and build the caves later when he gained experience.With experience, it will be easier to burn bricks when the territory needs large-scale construction.

They first arranged for a group of people to dig a hole.There is little rain in Xuefengling this season, and the land is very compact. Digging a hole is not an easy task.The most lazy guys in the spring plowing were forced to share the work of digging pits. If they could not complete the task, they would be locked up in a small dark room and not given food.

In front of all the villagers, Lin announced the punishment with a cold face: "The territory does not raise lazy people. Anyone who is capable but unwilling to do things will be punished. Those who have been punished three times will be deprived of All belongings should be expelled from the territory." Laziness is actually not a crime. In modern times, as long as you can support yourself, who cares if you stay at home fishing all day.Not in this era, every villager is a part of the territory, strictly speaking, it belongs to the lord.Now that the development of the territory is still in its infancy, Lin does not allow anyone to hold back.

Many people were severely punished, and then Lin arranged for a group of villagers to dig soil by the lake.

In fact, pottery does not have as high requirements for raw materials as porcelain. When conditions do not permit, pottery can be fired with ordinary soil and simple treatment, but the quality is lower.The soil around the lake is richer in minerals, making the pottery harder.The Xuefeng collar happened to be close to the lake, so it had such a convenient resource, so of course it had to be used.

The soil from the lake was transported back, dried for a long time, sieved to remove impurities such as gravel, added water, kneaded once like dough, kneaded the air in the soil, and finally kneaded into mud sticks. The strips are coiled up like mosquito coils, and then pressed tightly, it is a chassis.

Along the edge of the chassis, continue to add mud strips in circles to make the desired container.Because there are no modern tools such as turntables, it is easier to use this method, and it is easier to make the desired shape, and the pottery blanks made are stronger.

Making pottery blanks is not simply playing with mud. It requires certain aesthetics and hands-on ability, and it is also a technical job.Lin selected a few villagers who were good at handicrafts and gathered them in an empty house near the paper mill.These villagers often weave rattan baskets, and after Lin explained a little, they did it better than Lin, the teacher.

For the first time making pottery, Lin only asked everyone to make some bowls and plates, as well as smaller jars and jars.The villagers were skillful with their hands, and soon they made a pile of pottery blanks in front of them.

Among the few villagers who were good at handicrafts, the one who caught Lin's attention was a man with some disabled legs and feet, and beside him was a little wolf cub who couldn't walk properly.Although he has to take care of the cubs, his movements are not slow at all.When Lin walked up to the pottery he made, he directly reported the number.

This is the first person who can count how many pottery blanks he has made, Lin is a little surprised.He has a good memory and can remember the names of people he has met.He recognized this man as Xiaosui's father, named Cang, who rarely went out and never came to math class.Lin gave Cang a strange look: "Have you ever learned how to count?"

"Yes, lord, I learned it from my daughter Xiaosui, thank you lord for teaching this child." Cang's tone was faintly proud.The daughter was selected by the lord as an assistant, making their family a big hit in the neighborhood, and the occasional pity in the eyes before turned into envy.In the hearts of ordinary villagers, being able to help the lord is already a capable person.

Compared with the group of scumbags he usually taught, Lin was very happy that there were villagers who were so eager to learn, and the expression on his face softened: "It's good that you are willing to take the initiative to learn. This pottery workshop also needs someone who knows how to count to manage it. Leave it to you."

Cang froze for a moment, then nodded excitedly: "Yes, yes, lord." Looking at the quiet face of the young man in front of him, Cang's eyes turned red suddenly, and he started to cry.

Since his leg became disabled, he has changed from being one of the best players in the hunting team to a useless person who can only make a living by weaving baskets. Even he himself no longer regards himself as a human being.Unexpectedly, the lord would hand over such an important pottery workshop to himself, and Cang's eyes and nose became sore all of a sudden.

A man cried in an ugly way. He buried his face in his palms. Seeing this, his cub anxiously grabbed his father's leg and cried out "woo woo".Lin quietly waited for Cang to calm down. After a while, Cang stretched out his hand to touch his son, and said with a sob, "Thank you Lord, I will definitely do a good job."

"Well, now you and I count the pottery blanks together. Whoever made the thing should have a unique mark, and how many successful ones after firing should be recorded." Lin continued to arrange as if he didn't see the other party crying. matter.Cang also hastily wiped away his tears and stood up leaning on a simple cane.

Several people around looked at Cang enviously, regretting that they didn't learn arithmetic well before.

After half a day, several pits of different sizes were dug in the open space outside the empty house: the pits six to seven meters long, one meter wide, and more than half a meter deep were used for firing pottery, and there were four square ones. Cisterns, several sewage ditches.

The pottery workshop is located next door to the paper workshop in Yuexi Village. The place is remote and there are almost no residents. Lin plans to concentrate the more polluting workshops here in the future.Although there are only a few workshops for the time being, Lin has also prepared a special industrial area.

Thanks to the system map here, although the function has not been fully opened, Lin has already tried a usage.The buildings on the map can be moved freely like a sand table, and various marks can be made on them. After completion, they are saved in the system's photo album and can be recalled at any time, which is very convenient.Lin made a preliminary territorial plan on the system map, and designed special industrial areas, trade areas, residential areas, etc., which were exactly the appearance of Lin's ideal town.Each place has a clear purpose and is standardized and clean, which is really pleasing to the eye.

While Lin was thinking, several dexterous villagers had already made more than 100 small pottery blanks, and then everyone helped carefully put the pottery blanks into the tunnel one by one, and put a layer of firewood on top.

It was time to light the fire, but after a lot of pushback, Wu finally insisted on asking Lin to light the fire.

The orcs are very superstitious. They believe that some people are the favorites of the beast gods, who are born to bring good luck, and no matter what things pass through their hands, they will always go smoothly.Wu, Mai and the others thought that Xiaolin was such a favorite of the beast god.

Hui also nodded at the back, and the old god was there: Well, the leader of Xuefeng stayed with Xiaolin for a long time, and his brain has become smarter. Xiaolin is so powerful, of course he will succeed in everything.
