Chapter 203

"This looks like clay. Wait, why don't I use clay to make bricks."

Field picked up the doll and looked at it in surprise, "Where did you dig it?"

"The well that is being built is by the river near the lumberyard." Alexia stood on tiptoe and pointed far to the east, "The soil used to dig the well is piled next to it, so we played with it."

"I'm so stupid that I even forgot the simplest material for making bricks." Field was very surprised and laughed, "I'm lucky today, with both salt mines and clay, saving me the effort to find them."

"Hey? Praise my dear lord."

Alexia's sea-blue eyes turned around and she said sweetly, "I think I have done a good deed. Can you please not punish me?"

Since you are young, you won't be punished for defeat, so just be happy.

"No, let's put it this way." Field refused mercilessly, and then changed the subject, "I will ask the kitchen to make a caramel pudding for each of you as a reward."

"It sounds delicious, thank you, sir."

The three of them were drooling.

The supplies in the Night Territory were in short supply, and they were reluctant to eat desserts. It was very generous to squeeze out some of the precious supplies to reward them.

After driving away the three naughty children, Field came to the designated industrial area of ​​the Night Territory.

This was originally a logging site, with a river leading directly to the Starry Night City, and a coal-burning earthen kiln was also built here. The original logging hut has become a staff dormitory, where fifty or sixty people sweated profusely.

Since they can get food and coins every day, most slaves work very consciously.

The craftsmen of the Night Territory, except for the stonemasons who repaired the castle, all surrounded Field and saluted.

"Sir, we have built the brick kiln, and we have also made the mold you need."

The simple brick kiln built with stones and soil has been built and stands alone on a large piece of wasteland. Field ordered the construction of the brick kiln long before going to the Mountain Monkey Territory.

Field nodded: "Listen to me next, remember and try boldly, whoever makes the bricks I need first will get a coin reward."

The principle and steps of brick burning are very simple. In short, it is to play with mud.

The best way to remove impurities such as stones from the excavated clay is to expose it to the sun and air dry it.

After adding water, beat it hard, and let the cows trample it until the clay fully absorbs water.

Finally, fill it into a rectangular wooden mold, take it out and dry it in the shade, and finally send it to the brick kiln for firing.

As for the firing time or temperature, Field was in the dark. He had his own expertise and had never fired bricks.

"Anyway, I've given you the direction. As long as you're willing to try, you'll always succeed."

Field looked at the energetic craftsman and nodded with satisfaction.

"Sir, why do you want to burn bricks?"

With her super strong recovery ability, Ashina regained her vitality, but she looked very lazy and her cheeks were flushed. She stretched and walked over with Gaoglisi.

When Gaoglisi saw the slaves around her, she would even shrink her neck in fear. She dared to run here and succumbed to Ashina's wolf power.

"Clang clang~ I brought your little craftsman here. I saw she was bored, so I brought her out to get some fresh air."

"Indeed, there is no entertainment in the Night Territory."

Field nodded thoughtfully. Now everyone was busy all day and night, and with the threat of the rotten corpse, no one paid attention to entertainment.

"I'll design some games these two days."

Ashina didn't care: "It's very interesting to be with the lord."

Gorglis barely breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Field. She rushed over and hugged Field's thighs and refused to let go. She only showed one eye and looked at Asina timidly.

Wolf subhumans are really scary.

"Bricks are of course used to build houses, but I haven't found limestone yet, so I'll burn bricks first." Field looked at the slaves who had pushed a cart of clay, and poked it twice with his fingers. "Brick houses are solid and reliable. Although they are not as good as pure stone houses, mass production is much faster than stone houses."

"But... we already have a castle."

"It's not for me, but for the people. Once it's built in batches, my people will no longer suffer from severe cold and wind and rain."

The two subhumans were stunned. They couldn't understand why there would be nobles who would consider what the lower class people live in.

Ashina's breathing became rapid.

"Why is this little girl suddenly like this? Are you thinking about it again?"

Field was thinking wrongly and was shocked. It has only been a short time.

"By the way, since Gaoglisi is here, I have a task for you."

Gaoglisi said nervouslyHolding the hem of her skirt, she suddenly stood up and bowed deeply: "Master, please give me your orders."

"Ahem, why does it sound so perverted?" Wiping the cold sweat, Field took out a blueprint like a magic trick, "This is my rough sketch of the restoration, called Zhuge Crossbow. I will leave the carpenter to you to restore it. Of course, it would be best if it is improved."

In his previous life, he was a weapon fan and was very familiar with the Zhuge Crossbow.

Field considered the compound crossbow, but it was a pity that with the material and manpower of the Night Territory, it was difficult to build a bench. Don't think about compound crossbows or muskets in the short term.

"This is a crossbow that can fire continuously. Although the penetration is not as good as the ordinary crossbow, it can be called a magic weapon against lightly armored and unarmored corpses."

The same applies to thugs.

"This...amazing structure!"

Gorges opened her mouth so wide that she could stuff a carrot into it. She said in disbelief, "Very clever. How did you come up with this idea?"

Field looked amused: "Ahem, the wisdom of our ancestors."

"Which god is our ancestor?" Gaoglis scratched her head.

"You don't know him if I tell you. Okay, make him. It's better to improve him. I believe you can do it."

Field gave a thumbs up.

"No problem!" When talking about her area of ​​expertise, Gaoglis's voice became louder. "I promise not to disappoint you."

The little fox was full of enthusiasm: "I'll go back and make it now. I can't wait."

"Very good, the basement of Starry Night Castle will be your laboratory." Field patted Gaoglis's head, turned to Ashina and ordered, "Go back and call thirty soldiers and mobilize fifty slaves. Let's go find a salt mine."

"Yes, sir."

Looking at the hurried figures of the two, and then looking at the slaves and craftsmen working hard around them, Field suddenly had an idea.

"Wait, the Sin Ring can increase the attributes of ordinary people. If I activate the Sin Ring on the slaves, will their work efficiency be greatly improved?"

Field rubbed his chin: "It's too inhumane, but I can try it. It's interesting to think about using it on captives in the future."
