Master Overlord
Chapter 11
Gustav is the mayor of Shanghe Town, and his father once managed the iron mine for the tustra family. He is a very famous businessman in the north of the whole kingdom and a guest of many nobles.
Since he started his business with his father and walked around the Kingdom since childhood, Gustav has also developed a set of exquisite and eloquent skills.
When Arthur was a little boy, Gustav''s father brought him some strange things that didn''t exist on the river every time he came to Lingfeng castle.
One of the rarest is Gustav himself.
Gustav, like a tumbler, naturally gives people a sense of intimacy. In particular, the other party deliberately shakes and pretends to be a tumbler, which makes little Arthur laugh and giggle.
In addition to these, what Gustav expected Arthur most was all kinds of strange stories.
Elves who hide in the forest and lure travelers to lose their way; Every once in a while, it will spit out the mire of treasure; Shout three times and return to the cave where the spring water gushes out; And the majestic castle that suddenly appeared on the mountain
Gustav''s story is always the most interesting. Unlike the stereotyped and hypnotic nannies, it is always the old saying that justice defeats evil, and it is not comparable to the serious preaching of a bachelor.
Arthur in the age of little fart child, the most expected visitor to the castle is the fat Gustav.
Looking at Gustav pouring wine for himself, Arthur smiled and asked, "how''s it going?"
"Arthur, you''ve hurt me!" Gustav looked wronged. "You can''t imagine what they call me now - dung Gustav! Damn it! Those guys secretly gave me such a nickname."
"It''s too much," Arthur said with a smile. "They should call you" dustman Gustav ". And they should thank you for saving them from the dunghill."
Arthur''s words are not exaggerated at all. They are not for humor, but for facts.
Shanghe town is the most visited place except Lingfeng castle. He can''t understand the situation there.
Because they do not know how to use manure, people naturally do not realize the value of manure, and it is impossible to build thatched houses and cesspits to collect these filth.
In a world without a thatched house, it is common to shit.
When walking around the farm, you should pay special attention to your feet, because if you are not careful, you may step on a lump of hot feces.
Of course, as an aristocrat, Arthur will not pout his ass in the wild. Even the servants in the castle are not allowed to solve it nearby, but there are special rooms and dung barrels.
In order to keep the air fresh in the castle, the tustra family set aside a "dung field" in the forest on the east side of the castle as early as a hundred years ago.
Every morning, the servants responsible for transporting feces will drive the carriage to transport the accumulation of the castle a day to the forest a few miles away.
But this is the luxury of the nobility. For the residents of Shanghe Town, dumping feces directly on the streets is the most reasonable behavior.
There are two or three thousand people in Shanghe town. Every morning, it is time for every family to dump feces. Before dumping, qualified people will shout "pay attention to feces", and most of them are spilled directly. If you have bad luck, it is not too strange to be drenched all over.
After hundreds of years of accumulation, a thick layer has been accumulated on the ground of Shanghe town.
In the past, Arthur naturally didn''t think there was anything wrong. Even the king capital was the same. The difference was that the accumulation of the king capital was more profound.
But now Arthur is absolutely intolerable. What a waste it would be if so much feces were dumped wantonly!
In view of this, Arthur''s first task after recruiting Gustav to the fortress is to let him build public toilets and collect feces!
This has also become a hot topic in Shanghe town in recent months. It is said that Gustav, who is the most fastidious in Shanghe collar, actually had the idea of excrement.
Seeing Arthur''s grievance, Gustav was very happy and stressed: "especially those women! Because I''m Gustav, they don''t have to worry about getting into trouble because of dumping feces, and they can walk in the street as freely as men, instead of covering their noses and holding long skirts."
With that, Gustav also compared the action of a woman carrying a skirt, which looked very funny.
Speaking of this, Gustav asked suspiciously, "Arthur, can you really harvest more food by pouring those feces into the farmland? I drenched all the fields of the three farms as you ordered."
"You''ll know if you can harvest more food with your own eyes."
Because of the short time, Arthur only asked Gustav to spill the simply fermented fecal water directly into the field.
Later, he also prepared to hand over various methods of preparing manure to serfs, such as heap manure, boil manure, burn manure
Making manure can only use human and animal manure, such as straw, plant ash, pond sludge, leached plant stems and leaves, etc.
It''s impossible for Arthur to make fertilizer in this alien world.
But as a Chinese descendant, when it comes to the use of manure, Arthur is not aimed at someone in this alien world
Arthur believed that when the serfs realized the role of manure, the situation of pulling wild shit would no longer exist, and Shanghe town would not be filthy and smelly.
Because according to historical experience, in ancient China, dung and soil could already be sold as commodities.
In ancient times, Jiangnan could become a land of fish and rice, the main source of taxes, and even grain storage was related to the survival of the dynasty. It was inseparable from the development of manure processing technology and agricultural development.
Seeing Arthur''s confidence, Gustav was slightly relieved.
"Stop talking about it." Arthur finished the topic and asked, "are you ready for the iron ore bureau?"
During his months in the fortress, Arthur was most concerned about the iron ore Bureau he asked Gustav to set up.
"Please rest assured, my friend! There are few things that gold coins can''t do in the world." Gustav looked confident. "According to your instructions, I have arranged special people to manage from mining, beneficiation, smelting to forging to ensure that there will be no mistakes!"
"I can rest assured that you do things..."
Gustav has a family background in managing the iron mine. Arthur is naturally relieved to give it to each other.
"Now that we are ready, let people release the news. We must not wait too long. We can see businessmen from all over the Kingdom at Shanghe collar."
"Release the news?" Gustav looked surprised, and Thorne looked at Arthur suspiciously.
How does it feel different from what I said before
Arthur nodded. "What''s the problem?"
"Arthur, aren''t you going to cooperate with those two? Or have you negotiated a new way of cooperation?"
Gustav felt as if he had missed something. Arthur asked him to set up an iron ore bureau to manage the iron mine, but he didn''t mention the caravan.
Without caravans, the iron products leading up the river cannot be transported out.
He always thought Arthur was going to leave the work of the caravan to the two families when the animal tide was over. He also thought it was an excellent way.
But now it seems that things are not what he thought.
