"beautiful!"
In the castle, Mia and Dorothy finally came back.
After returning to the castle, the two beast-eared girls were amazed by the shining crystal lamp in the middle of the castle hall.
The crystal lamp looks extremely beautiful when it is not powered on.
Now after the power is turned on, it is simply not too beautiful.
Mia and Dorothy, as well as Caiwei and the other fox-ear girls in the castle, all stared at them with bright eyes.
Such a beautiful lamp looks as if there are countless stars shining.
If such a lamp is known by some big nobles in the mainland, I am afraid that they will be willing to spend a lot of money to buy it!
Of course, without electricity, the effect will not be so good.
In fact, Richard also installed such a crystal lamp in a special living room.
It's just that there are not enough level guests for Li to use the parlor.
Mia and Dorothy observed for a long time before leaving the hall and went to visit other rooms.
Then they discovered that there were also such lights in their bedroom.
Recently, perhaps because of concerns about Richard's safety, Mia asked Dorothy to move the bedroom to Richard's side after discussing with Dorothy to protect Richard.
And Mia stayed on the second floor.
In this way, if any assassin arrives, she will be the first line of defense.
Dorothy was the second line of defense.
After Mia returned to her bedroom, she couldn't wait to turn on the lights in the bedroom.
The lights in the bedroom have four color temperatures.
One is white, one is bright yellow, one is pale yellow, and one is starlight.
Different color temperature represents different brightness.
This kind of lamp is also bought by Richard on a certain treasure. It costs several hundred yuan each. The whole is a circle, but you can also see some beautiful crystal decorations inside.
Turn it off once, turn it on again, it will change to a different color temperature.
After Mia turned on the light, her bedroom was filled with light immediately.
"Great~"
Mia couldn't love it.
As for the other beast-eared girls, such as Mi Wei and the fox-eared girls who were in charge of cleaning up the castle, they had already tried it.
They all raved about the lights in the bedroom.
And Mia soon discovered that there was a switch at the head of her bed, which could instantly turn the room from darkness to light with just one click.
Although the cat-ear girl's eyesight at night is also good, but such a light still makes Mia fond of it.
"Everyone come here."
Richard called several beast ear mothers over, and specially told them the precautions for using electricity.
Electricity is of course convenient.
However, electricity is also dangerous.
In another world, children are taught various precautions for using electricity and the dangers of electric shock from an early age, but there are still many electric shock incidents every year.
Therefore, this point is emphasized again by Li Xueli.
The beast ear girls listened very carefully.
In fact, they will not use electricity indiscriminately.
Even Mia has a certain awe for such a magical thing as "electricity".
After all, it was something she had never touched before.
After teaching a few beast ear girls, Richard went back to his bedroom, ready to go to bed.
The lights outside the castle were still on, but of course the lights in Richard's bedroom were not on.
In Richard's territory, many residents watched the light show very late.
Some people studied the street lamps for a long time but didn't see why, which made these people have some curiosity and desire to find out.
Therefore, in the second issue of the newspaper, Richard specifically asked the printing store to add a comic version of electricity knowledge, but Richard made some changes and rearrangements to the language
Make it easier for people in this world to understand.
For big customers who send thousands of dollars every few days, the store is naturally very cooperative.
After the second issue of the newspaper came out, it was quickly consumed by the residents of the territory, and everyone read it with gusto.
Some people can even recite the contents of the first and second issues of the newspaper by heart.
Although they didn't know all the characters, after listening to the newspaper reader read it several times, they listened to each of them very carefully, especially the last few editions of the stories, and they remembered each and every one of them quite clearly.
In addition, the layout dedicated to commending outstanding personnel is also quite popular.
Nowadays, after getting the newspaper, many people go to see that page immediately, wondering who is being praised again.
Those who are praised will basically become the "stars" and "stars" of Richard's territory, and their status among the residents will be much higher invisibly.
Therefore, many people are working very hard, hoping that one day they can be on this page, honoring their ancestors!
Well, in the eyes of the people in the territory, being able to appear on that page is a very honorable thing!
Therefore, this small layout has greatly improved the enthusiasm of the people in Richard's territory.
In the next period of time, Richard perfected the city's street lighting system one after another, and then began to connect electricity to the homes of residents in the city after the knowledge of electricity use was almost publicized.
Naturally, these electricity are not free.
Of course not expensive.
Each household charges an electricity fee of 5 to 10 copper coins per month according to the electricity consumption.
Richard didn't install a meter, and basically only charged 5 copper coins.
The reason why a plan based on electricity consumption is proposed is that people are worried about wasting electricity.
But his worries are unnecessary.
The residents in the territory are quite self-conscious and full of fear of the "magic power" of electricity. Except for necessary lighting every day, they don't use much electricity.
And after having electricity, the residents in the territory simply respected Richard.
Under such circumstances, Richard soon got another chance to draw a lottery.
The prizes for this raffle are pretty good.
Richard's physical fitness has been improved to a level equivalent to 3.5 times that of ordinary people.
This level is already comparable to a strong tauren.
In addition, Richard also drew a new magic.
Not fire control ability.
It is a magic related to wind, that is, the elementary wind control ability.
Wind and fire are a good match.
The only magician Richard saw in this world now was the half-elf girl.
However, after more than a month, the half-elf girl disappeared and did not appear again.
He really wanted to know what level his magic level was in this world.
"I don't know if I can see her again?"
Richard thought.
Richard didn't think too much about it.
After the completion of the hydropower station, Richard asked those horse thieves to build some defensive measures around the hydropower station and the dam.
For example, a small castle that integrates watchtower, arrow tower, and residential functions.
This kind of small castle is a cylinder, with a diameter of only about ten meters and a height of about twenty meters. It can accommodate dozens of people. The gate is made of a thick iron gate, which is not easy to break open, and is not afraid of fire. Attack, even if the first floor is captured, the second floor can continue to hold on.
They usually store some food and water, even if they are besieged, the soldiers inside can persist for a long time.
This kind of small castle was also designed by Richard. He knows a little about military affairs, and there are quite a few castles of this kind in another world. Richard has seen many of them before, so it is not difficult to design them.
Such a small castle is also connected with some thick walls to protect the hydropower station.
Richard plans to station an army of fifty people here to protect the hydropower station.
In the future, the army on the territory will be divided into two types: garrison troops and troops that can be mobilized to fight at any time.
The main function of the garrison is to garrison and defend the city and facilities. The requirements for soldiers inside are not so high, and the age requirements are also relaxed. Of course, the requirements for loyalty are not low.
Under normal circumstances, only those whose whole family has moved to Richard's territory can join the army.
Some people with unknown origins, unless they pass a long observation period, Richard will not accept them either.
Richard didn't want the horse thief and spies to happen again.
And the city's tap water system has also begun to be used one after another.
The whole city is completely new.
When the tap water was enabled, it also surprised the residents of the entire territory for a long time.
When the tap water system was started, nearly two months have passed since the locust plague.
If the normal rhythm is followed, it is already time for the autumn harvest.
However, there is no food in the field, and all the food has been eaten up by locusts.
As the temperature drops, the locusts are slowly disappearing, but the damage caused by the locusts is not so easy to stop.
If all the food is eaten up, even if all the locusts are dead... what's the point?
According to the news received from some businessmen who came every day, the rebel army in the interior became more and more violent, and had swept many provinces of the kingdom.
The number of refugees is increasing dramatically.
Not all refugees will go to join the rebel army.
After all, everyone knows that once the rebel army is suppressed, it will be beheaded.
While building the territory, Richard did not forget to increase his military power.
After all the tribes of people and horses joined, almost half of them were able to fight, almost a thousand.
In this way, Richard is equivalent to a warrior who is more fierce than a surprise soldier.
After another cash withdrawal, Richard equipped these centaur warriors with full armor and weapons, which cost a lot of money.
But in Richard's view, the money is worth it.
Then the foxman archers expanded to three hundred.
The number of crossbowmen has been expanded to 800. The age of these crossbowmen is very wide, and anyone under the age of forty-five is fine. They will be quite good for defending the city.
The number of elite human soldiers has been unable to increase, until now there are only 1,200.
At this time, because Richard's requirements are very high, and the population of the territory is still relatively small.
In addition, Richard also summoned a group of garrison troops in their thirties, a small number of only 200 people, who were stationed at hydropower stations and agricultural bases, and were also responsible for security patrols.
"Lord, there are so many refugees!"
On this day, Richard received a report.
During this period of time, refugees occasionally came, but there were no large groups of refugees.
After all, the border area.
In addition, Richard eliminated more than 8,000 horse thieves...which also led to a great reduction in the number of refugees.
However, another large number of refugees came this day, and the number was still quite large, thousands of people!
When these refugees fled, they panicked and didn't know where they fled.
On the way to escape, many of these refugees died,
There are basically no refugees who are too old. It is estimated that they could not survive and died on the way.
Richard sent troops and governors to gather these refugees in accordance with the refugee management regulations.
Since many refugees were too hungry to walk, Richard first asked people to cook a lot of porridge, and distributed a small bowl to each of them.
w Don’t snatch, don’t snatch, anyone who dares to snatch someone else’s will be shot to death!”
When serving porridge, there was some confusion, but it was soon overwhelmed by Richard's men's thunderous means.
As a result, the refugees became more disciplined, and after receiving a small bowl of porridge and drinking it, Richard asked for a second bowl of porridge.
The reason for this is that after a person is extremely hungry, if he sends too much food at once, the person is likely to choke to death.
"Where are you from?"
After the refugees ate porridge, Richard personally asked a man who seemed to be well dressed.
The man saw that Richard was surrounded by a large number of soldiers, and knew that he was a big shot here, so he quickly stood up and said, "My lord, we came from Moshi City, which was attacked by the rebels."
We were trapped, and we didn't want to be caught in the rebel army, so we dragged our family and escaped. After escaping, we encountered several rebel army chaos, so we had to flee all the way to the northeast where no one came.
It took several days to escape here. "
Richard's territory is located in the northeast of the kingdom, southwest of the orc kingdom, a proper border area.
Richard asked: "Has the rebel army started to attack the city on a large scale?"
The man said: "Yes, my lord, they are quite large, and it is said that there are different factions. It is said that the attack on Moshi City was led by a saint, and there were tens of thousands of them.
As for people, when they see a strong man, they will catch them as a strong man, and when they fight, they will let you rush to the front as cannon fodder, and we can only run away.
Richard asked a few more questions to get a general idea of the situation.
In short, the situation in the kingdom is getting more and more chaotic.
With the passage of time, the food crisis began to appear completely, and more and more people in Haozhao made uprisings.
After all, people are going to starve to death, so you have to resist, right?
This man used to be a teacher who taught a nobleman, and he took his family of four to escape for several days before he escaped here.
Richard took him in and sent someone to settle him down.
There is a shortage of teachers in his school.
Immediately afterwards, after these refugees were also registered, they were successively settled in special refugee areas.
The treatment of these refugees is still the same as that of the previous refugees.
Some strong and reliable refugees will be absorbed into the army.
As for other refugees, as long as they are willing to work, they can get a lot of wages every day, which is enough to support their families.
In troubled times, it would be nice to survive with a bite to eat.
Ordinary nobles simply do not want to pay attention to these refugees.
Otherwise, they have been fleeing for so long and have passed through many noble territories, why do they keep fleeing?
Richard is willing to take in, which makes these refugees very grateful.
The next day, some refugees joined the work.
And from this day on, the number of refugees began to increase again.
After the insurgents broke out, more and more refugees fled, and more refugees fled to the border. After all, the border rebels had not arrived yet.
And there is more than one rebel army... There are good and bad people in it, and some rebels also burned, killed and looted everywhere, and what they did was not much better than horse thieves.
These refugees, Richard sent people to take them in strictly according to the regulations he made.
In Richard's view, these are the population of the future territory.
Under such circumstances, it didn't take long for the number of people in Richard's territory to break through 30,000.
The human soldier army under him finally expanded to three, from one thousand to three thousand.
Richard promoted three new Legion Chiefs from among the former veterans, and Jim was promoted from Legion Chief to Grand Army Chief.
Of course, the thousand-man army is actually the smallest size of the army. First, configure according to this scale, and then make another plan when there are more people in the future. .
