In Warhammer, I am Ultraman Noah

"It stinks, lift me away. Who said locusts are edible? They don't taste good when roasted."

After Ryan became a scene-stealer, he collapsed on the stretcher, shaking his arms weakly, signaling the knights to lift him upwind, unwilling to continue smelling these terrible odors.

Kamo thought for a while with a rigorous attitude, and said: "Sir, no one has ever said that locusts can be eaten. In religious texts, disasters are the punishment of the great sun or the devil's chaos, and they don't look like something that can be eaten." He also sniffed the air around him carefully, and after a moment, he concluded: "It should be the smell of burnt feces in the farmland. In the past-" "Stop, stop, stop! I'm not in the mood to listen to this," Ryan waved his hand in front of his nose, "Let two teams of knights take turns to guard the fields, and catch any suspicious people who approach and observe them alive. Wait until tomorrow daytime, and continue to recruit the next batch of farmers to clean up the locust corpses and fill the land, so that this batch of farmers can go home and rest. Send me back to Ironthorn now, I think the lord has not rested yet, I still have something to talk to him about." Kamo nodded, with some respect in his expression. He has abandoned his prejudice against this noble son who was once convicted of heresy. Just as the priests guessed, the piety of the nobles and knights to religious beliefs was superficial, but the charge of heresy was very suitable for targeting their enemies and accusing them of heresy.

But people knew that these were all false charges.

The knights respected those who were capable of solving problems. Since Ryan could destroy the entire locust plague overnight and save the grain harvest of the territory for the second half of the year, they would respect Ryan.

"In addition, your humble appearance is good now. It is better not to return to the domineering appearance before."

Ryan finally said, and was carried on the carriage and headed towards the Iron Thorn Castle in the middle of the night.

Most of the people in Turin had to wait until the next day to know that the locust plague had been cleared, but those nobles who also lived in Turin and "loyal" to the Will family, after knowing this news tonight, I don't know how many people can sleep peacefully.

Lord Gaogat saw Ryan lying on a stretcher in the front hall. The confident and lively young man who liked to shout during the day was now like a drunkard who was exhausted from overwork.

Well, with skin this pale, he barely looks like a noble, but not a very good person.

"Bring me some porridge, not thick."

Ryan said hurriedly when he arrived at the castle. The previous operation consumed too much of his energy.

The servants hurriedly brought the prepared food. Seeing Ryan swallowing it, he regained some energy and sat up.

"All of you go down." Gao Gat knew that Ryan was going to talk to him about some confidential matters again.

"Wait, let Camo stay. He will be my man for the next period of time. You don't mind, do you?" Ryan touched his stomach with satisfaction. "I feel more at ease with a familiar person in command. It won't be other spies or assassins. At least this guy won't kill me while I'm asleep." Gao Gat nodded, so Camo stood up and stood a little later.

Then, the lord reacted and said, "Do you still think there are people with bad intentions in Turin who will find a way to kill you?"

Ryan opened his eyes wide and said sincerely, "Isn't this obvious? You are also a lord after all. I thought you were very good at political struggle. Why do you give me a silly and naive feeling now? That dead eunuch Boboli has not left yet. He will definitely write a letter to inform the Principality that we have solved the problem of locust plague. If the locust plague was originally the way others attacked Turin, how could they let me go."

Gorgat tried his best to ignore Ryan's look like a fool, took a deep breath, and then said, "Don't worry about the loyalty of the Mast Family to us, let Camo follow you. As for other families, you are right, they are just my vassals, attached to the territory of Turin. If the locust plague is not solved and there is not enough food, they will defect to other lords."

Ryan waved his hand and said, "Now that the locust plague has been solved, you only need to worry about whether the fields that have not been damaged by the insect plague can be harvested normally, and the granary Fire safety issues. Huh, starting tomorrow, we will start digging canals from the two rivers and build fixed irrigation channels. In addition, all residents near the southern river abyss will be slowly relocated. You should know that I killed a zombie in the south that night. I looked at the map and found that the zombie group could not cross the river abyss. The zombie was probably brought here by someone, so we must also avoid the outbreak of plague in the territory. "Gorgat thought for a while and said, "I will send someone to investigate. Someone has tried to cross the river abyss to explore the destroyed Duchy of Genoa. If it is from Turin, there will be records at the port. Alas, it is a troubled time. It seems that a web of fate has been woven over us for Turin, and I can't see who is going to attack us now. Where is the way to break the deadlock? "Ryan pointed at himself and said shamelessly, "Well, I am here to solve these problems. "Gorgat's tired expression finally eased a little, and said, "Then I believe you. "Ryan went to rest soon, and Gorgat still had government affairs to deal with.

Although Ryan didn't see the need to process these cumbersome documents, he heard that the best outcome for Terra's officials was to die of exhaustion at their jobs. Perhaps these jobs were the meaning of their lives.

This Lord Gorgat has not returned to the embrace of the empire, but he already has such a dedicated attitude. Well, he is very suitable for being transformed by the Mechanicus in the future and continuing to shine for the empire!

Early the next morning, Ryan got up refreshed and took a shower. However, the sanitation system of the medieval castle was a bit strange. When defecating, he always had to worry about whether the building near the cliff would collapse or whether the strong wind in the valley would collapse. Blow the filth back.

Moreover, the paper used for cleaning is indeed a bit rough. It seems that I will need to strengthen special training in the future to develop a pair of iron eyes.

In the future, when I have the opportunity to face those Forbidden Soldiers who are suspected of having special quirks, it might be useful.

Today's breakfast was milk and rye bread, with a piece of fried venison.

Rye is less tasty than wheat and somewhat difficult to swallow. However, Ryan accepted everyone who came, and his body functions were far beyond those of ordinary people, so he quickly ate everything.

Most nobles should eat more refined wheat, but when the disaster just happened this year, Lord Gaugart ordered that the daily rationed meals be replaced with rye to save food.

He himself took the lead in setting an example, but apart from Ironthorn Castle, the houses of other nobles probably would not be so frugal.

Ironically, the lord thought he had set an example, but in fact the quality of life he enjoyed still far exceeded the living standards of most civilians.

Nobles can also legally enjoy the meat hunted in the mountains and forests, because the entire territory belongs to the nobility, so the wild animals produced in it also belong to the nobility. Hunters must regularly turn in the wild animals they risk their lives to hunt.

Farmers can only raise some poultry, but they are reluctant to eat them and want to keep the eggs. In most cases, the meat that can be eaten comes from fish caught in rivers.

This is also the reason why there are more foods like caviar and dried fish in Western culture, because civilians with a larger population base can only eat this. This way of eating has been passed down. In modern society, caviar has become a kind of food. Representative of food culture.

Just like Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs were food for the poor in the early days, but later became extremely precious ingredients.

Ryan planned to deal with the digging of irrigation canals today. Due to the drought, the original water bodies receded.

Although farmland is no longer infested by locusts, it still needs daily irrigation.

If manpower is needed to transport water resources, too much productivity is wasted.

Therefore, it is best to repair the irrigation canal and set up the valves of the barrage at once, so that the irrigation needs can be met during drought and flood seasons.

When he went out, it was already past ten o'clock in the morning. A group of people wearing simple and dry clothes were returning to the territory. Their faces and hands were a little gray. Only a few of them were wearing shoes, and a considerable number of them were ten years old. How old are teenagers.

Some wrinkled facial skin and sunburn marks make these teenagers look old and ugly. Their hair is as messy as a chicken coop, and they also exude a faint dry smell.

"They are farmers who get up in the morning to fill the pits and finish the task before noon, so they still have time to return to their homes and fields to take care of their crops and poultry."

Kamo explained that he could see Ryan's confusion.

Ryan yelled, his expression calm, and he didn't know what he was thinking. He asked the knights who were guarding him to dismount and get out of the way. Camo thought that Ryan was disgusted with the smell of these untouchables, so he habitually pulled out his whip to reprimand these people for leaving. Hurry up.

"What are you going to do?" Ryan took Kamo's hand.

Kamo was puzzled: "Sir, these untouchables are like livestock. You have to wave your whip and shout loudly before they can act. Otherwise, they are all a bunch of lazy people, without noble conduct or diligence." , I can’t even read a word of it.”

"That's enough!" Ryan stopped Kamo from continuing. He stared into Kamo's eyes, his scalp numbing and his body trembling.

He said: "Do you think they will have the energy to do things if they don't even have enough to eat for a day? Tell me, Kamo, did the territory provide food for these people who were recruited this morning?"

Kamo was a little nervous and forced himself to calm down: "Sir, farmers do not need to be paid to work for the lord. This is their obligation. Just like us knights are loyal to the lord, we are willing to dedicate our lives. "

Ryan slowly exhaled and watched the group of people leave. They consciously stayed far away from the knight's group. They only glanced cautiously in their own direction and did not dare to look at them again.

"We must change the world."

Ryan firmly made up his mind, mounted his horse, and galloped towards the location where the irrigation canal was about to be dug.

The beating heart in his chest seemed to respond to this wish. Under the cover of his clothes, there was a dim light flickering.

The first irrigation canal to be dug is near the Agate River in the southeast, while the Bailey River in the west will be dug later. There are many noble families' territories there, and the interests involved are huge.

As we all know, just as there is no wife in the wife cake, there is no agate in the agate river.

The main trunk of the Agate River radiates to four or five towns, then enters the gloomy forest further south, and finally benefits a few small villages, and then plunges into the river abyss never to return.

Due to this year's drought, it has been difficult to irrigate the fields in the inland areas normally. People here originally had to carry buckets to the rivers to transport water, but they were notified at short notice to gather in the fields.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

They did not dare to disobey the knights' orders and gathered cautiously at the edge of the field. Some old farmers worriedly looked at the crops poisoned by the scorching sun, and discussed in a low voice what the noble gentlemen were going to do that required labor, and whether they could save time today to find water and irrigate the farmland.

However, before Ryan arrived, news that the locusts had been dealt with began to spread in the territory. After hearing this, people here looked in disbelief, asking and looking around as if seeking confirmation.

That's right, there was indeed no news of any insect infestation today.

"I know, it must be that after the heretic was burned to death not long ago, the great sun blessed us and destroyed the locust plague!"

"That must be the case. I heard the news last night. The heretic seems to be named Ryan Will, and the insect plague is related to him."

"But how did I hear that Ryan escaped from being burned at the stake?"

"Nonsense, there were carnivorous flies attacking at that time, and even a master of the Mast family died. How could that heretic survive?"

Ryan never expected that the news that would make these lifeless people active would actually be the rumor that burning oneself to death would solve the locust plague!

When he arrived at the field, the local administrator had already built a shade shed and prepared some fruits.

It's just that there is no ice water here, and the room temperature water tastes warm when you drink it. It can only quench thirst, but cannot dispel heat.

"Sir, the 721 laborers that can be recruited are all here. I have received the order from the lord, and the towns in the south will fully assist you in your plan to dig irrigation canals. However, please forgive me for being stupid. , why not let these farmers carry water for irrigation? The locust plague has been resolved and there is no threat. In previous years, when droughts occurred, it was just more laborious. It’s so tiring. You can’t use this canal until summer is over, and there’s no guarantee that there will be a drought next year. Isn’t it worth the loss?”

The local administrator, Old Bryce Bellows, stood respectfully in front of Ryan and explained his doubts.

This is also his duty as an administrator, and he hopes to get a reasonable explanation.

However, these nobles may not explain, but enforce the order. At that time, he has no way to refuse the order.

"Mr. Bryce, please sit down. I know what you are worried about. Is this another young aristocratic kid who has a whim and works hard to do some meaningless things for his own benefit? But I can Guaranteed, building irrigation canals has no harm at all, humans cannot leave their fate to natural climate changes every time. If we can manually control the use of water power, not only food production, but also the infrastructure construction of nearby towns will be greatly improved. improve?"

Old Bryce murmured: "Infrastructure construction? How to build the foundation of the water canal?"

Ryan nodded, yes, irrigation canals are not just for irrigation.

At that time, tap water pipes will be introduced from the canals into the town, and water for residents and sanitary water will be guaranteed.

Once water is sufficient, people's hygiene will be greatly improved, which is very necessary for future plague prevention and control work.

As for the construction of the control valves and hydraulic systems required for the dam and domestic water, I have to leave it to the middle and high school physics knowledge in my mind to continue to exert its residual heat in the other world.
