My Wife Is Great Fief Lord

Chapter 305 Tiangong stone house

“Today is the first harvest festival after I became the Lord of the Storm! Here I want to tell you about my hard work for the past six months. Very satisfied, all of you have paid the full amount of agricultural taxes, and I hope you can continue to do so in the future!”

Seeing the black crowd of serfs below, Gervais said loudly. No

To be honest, Gervais has nothing to say to them today, just a brief praise for the tax situation this year, Gervais is ready to end his speech, after all, it is better to give the serfs chicken soup for the soul It is effective to give money or food directly.

“I’ll announce that this year’s harvest festival officially begins, and everyone can pick up lunch at Thomas Steward!”

“Thank you fief lord for the reward!”

“Thank you fief lord for the reward!”

The serfs stretched their necks, originally thinking that the fief lord might have to chat for a long time, but didn’t expect to end the speech in just a few seconds .

Ti heard that the food distribution had begun, so the serfs beamed with joy, and under the organization of the guards, they lined up in a long line to receive the black bread and large pieces of meat that Gervais prepared for them.

Appeared in front of the serfs once, expressing his generosity by the way, then this harvest festival will have nothing to do with Gervais, after all, this is the festival of laborers, and Gervais is now a wicked exploiter.

Gervais didn’t return to the castle for cultivation immediately after getting off the high platform. Now that he has come to the seaside town, Gervais is going to go to the Tiangong stone house in the town to see, there is something that Gervais is thinking about.

There are three stone houses in Binhai Town, two of which were purchased and lived in by Bernard and Bu Laien respectively. The loss of serfs gradually decreased, and the serf leaders with only 2,000 people simply did not need any administrative officers, so this room was left empty.

Now this stone house has been cleaned up and named Tiangong stone house by Gervais himself.

The word Tiangong is taken from the previous life’s “Heavenly Creation”. As the name suggests, Gervais is preparing to make this stone house a workshop for various tools in his territory.

Gervais was just an ordinary person in his previous life. It would be unrealistic for him to invent glass and cement. After all, he only knew a little about the ingredients of cement and glass, and he didn’t know where to start if he wanted to experiment.

There are special factors in the invention of black powder. As a man, Gervais was particularly interested in weapons such as gunpowder and guns in his previous life, which made him remember the production of black powder. Yu Xin

But what about glass and cement? Although these two things can be seen everywhere, people don’t care how these ordinary cheap things are produced.

For example, glass Gervais can only vaguely remember that it can be fired with sand, because there is quartz in the sand, but what about other than sand? Gervais was clueless.

There is also cement. Gervais also remembers some of the raw materials of cement, including gypsum and iron ore, but he still only remembers these two incomplete raw materials, and more importantly, wants to make cement and glass It needs thousands of degrees of high temperature, Gervais thinks, he should not think about these modern things in his life.

Although the modern product Gervais could not be invented, there were also backward periods in the previous life. Gervais felt that if he could manufacture some tools that were not complicated in the past, but could play a great role, it would be very useful. It may play a big role in the development of their own territory.

For example, Bending Plow, which Gervais often saw when he was a child. The big water buffalo dragged an iron plow, and people could drive the cattle behind it. Compared with manual ploughing, it was many times faster and labor-saving. It also saves time, so Gervais has drawn a rudimentary blueprint and handed it over to the carpenters and blacksmiths, let them make a sample first and slowly improve it, waiting for the next year to be of great use.

In addition to Bending Plow, Gervais also drew sickle, iron guillotine, waterwheel, windmill and other primordial tools in previous lives. Although these are the most primordial tools, they are more practical and reliable. The tools are obtained through the summarization and accumulation of hundreds of thousands of previous lives.

For this backward society where the tech tree is suppressed by Battle Qi and spiritworm, these tools will definitely improve the efficiency of farming by the serfs of the Storm Lord.

Along the street, Gervais took the little maid and personal guard directly to the Tiangong stone house.

When Gervais entered the house, the carpenters and blacksmiths were busy

“Master!”

“Master!”

When Gervais approached them, the blacksmith and carpenter reacted, quickly put down the things in their hands, knelt on the ground, moved towards Gervais and greeted them.

“Get up, you won’t have to carry your luggage while you work!”

“Is this the sickle you just forged?!”

Gervais After getting the two to stand up, Gervais’s eyes were attracted by a semifinished product on the wooden table beside. It was a crescent-shaped sickle with triangular teeth, but the wooden handle had not yet been pressed. Gervais picked up the sickle and touched it. This is exactly the same as the sickle in his memory

“Yes, master, I hammered this sickle according to the note you gave, but I haven’t pressed the wooden handle.”

This slave blacksmith’s forging skills are very general, and he can’t even forge decent swords, but forging these farm tools is still no problem, so he replied to Gervais carefully.

“Very well, you have forged 50 sickles for me in the past two days. Now the stone house is being built in the territory. The roof of the stone house needs thatch, and these sickles are just right for you.”

Gervais nodded with satisfaction, and then said to the carpenter beside him: “The Bending Plow can be made in a few days, first make the wooden handles of these sickles, understand?”

“Understood, master! The villain will start making now.”

The carpenter on the side did not dare to neglect, and immediately agreed respectfully.

Gervais moved towards the backyard of the stone house contentedly. Gervais came this time not for the sickle and Bending Plow, but for the things in the backyard.

There is a water well in the backyard of this stone house. There is a stonemason sitting beside the well. The stonemason is always concerned about the arrival of Gervais, and what he is holding is what Gervais asked for from Alice. crystal stone.

The mason was very focused, cautiously grinding the crystal stone on the whetstone block, and suddenly found that a silhouette was blocking most of the sunlight, and the mason discovered the existence of Gervais this time.

“Master!”

“Well, how is the grinding of the crystal ‘cake’?”

Gervais looked towards the small stone in the hand of the mason. A crystal stone, this crystal stone has been ground into the shape of a round cake, with a diameter of seven or eight centimeters and a thickness of about two centimeters.

“Master, the villain just cut the crystal stone you gave me yesterday to no points, this is the first crystal ‘cake’ that the villain grinds today, and now it’s just according to your request Round the shape, and then the villain will grind the edges of the two sides into an arc shape.”

The stonemason did not dare to neglect when he heard Gervais’ question, and quickly put the crystal ‘cake’ in his hand. Washed it in the wooden tub on the side, and then handed it to Gervais to check. While Gervais was checking the crystal, the mason began to report the progress of the work to Gervais.

Although the mason does not know why his master cut the precious huge crystal stone into many pieces, he also let himself grind the crystal into strange crystal ‘cakes’, but these are all It doesn’t matter, the important thing is that your craftsmanship can satisfy the owner.

“Well, yes, but there is one thing you should pay attention to. When you grind the two sides of the arc, you must look in the sun a few times to ensure that the outline of the sun shining through the crystal ‘cake’ is round and clear. , and the scenery cannot be deformed.”

“Yes, master, the villain will definitely pay attention!”

The mason hurriedly agreed.

After getting confirmation from the mason again, Gervais handed the crystal ‘cake’ back to the mason.

The stonemason carefully took back the crystal ‘cake’ and proceeded to grind it.

Seeing that the stonemason continued to work, Gervais turned and left the heavenly stone house.

The crystal ‘cake’ polished by the stonemason just now is actually a random statement made by Gervais, and its real name should be called a concave-convex mirror.

The reason why Gervais asked Alice for these crystals, which are of Top Grade quality and whose transparency is not inferior to glass, is actually to make telescopes.

There is no glass in this world, but the same is true for such high-transparency crystals, the only disadvantage is that the cost is too high.

But Gervais is only going to make a few monocular telescopes for himself and the people around him, and of course he doesn’t care about the price.

Although Gervais knows the principle of telescope, but in this backward world, he can only rely on manual work to turn large crystal stones into concave and convex lenses of his previous life.

So Gervais chose a mason with the best craftsmanship among the slave masons to help him grind the lenses. The masons in this world are not simply building houses and walls. Many masons with good craftsmanship are actually Half an artist, many of the reliefs on the walls of the mansion are their masterpieces.
