Lord of the Oasis

The splendens beach is quite lush.

The entire west side of the lake has been occupied by these stubbornly growing vegetation on the sandy soil.

Even a lot of desert antelopes who are alone, see these grasses in the distance between the dunes, as if they have discovered a new world, they sneak in and disappear into the 5 acres of splendens grass beach.

Apparently, these desert antelopes, who are in a hurry, regard these splendens grass beaches as grasses that can avoid hunters.

"Stupid and cute."

Kant shook his head, showing a helpless smile to these little cuties.

If the 5 acres of splendens grass beach is really regarded as a life-saving nest, it is estimated that the sheep will enter the tiger's mouth, and all their small body will be buried in it.

But when Kant thought of this, a flash of light flashed in his mind.

Turning his head to look at Manid, he asked, "Can we tame these little guys?"

"Desert antelope?" Manid sounded a little weird.

"Yes, it seems that they should be able to domesticate." Kant nodded.

Manid hesitated, but shrugged and said: "Lord Lord, although these desert antelopes can indeed be domesticated, the value of domestication is not high. It is better to buy sheep or goats directly and stock them. The wool, sheepskin, and mutton, Goat milk is much better than simply domesticating these desert antelopes for food."

"Is that so?" Kant paused in his heart and smiled regretfully.

Manid was right.

Desert antelopes are wild animals, not to mention the difficulty of domestication, but the value of domestication is not much.

This antelope, which lives on the edge of the desert, is not as valuable as goats and sheep. The lack of wool cannot be collected, and the milk supply cannot be milked to make cheese. In addition to killing the meat, perhaps the sheepskin can be used to make something to save it. point value.

All in all, this is a good prey, and no domestication is necessary.

"New week, get busy."

Kant clapped his hands and signaled that the soldiers who were still gathered around the street would disperse.

But looking at the desert antelopes that were brought over and piled up beside the spice workshop, Kant still arranged: "Peel off the skin, we will eat the fresh meat today, if we can't eat it, we will dry it and make it into air-dried meat."

"Understood, my lord." The soldiers behind him nodded.

The soldiers surrounding the street had all dispersed and continued their own business, so that "Dehrim" was back to work.

At the dunes, another group of desert antelopes arrived.

However, this time the number of ethnic groups is relatively small, roughly only more than 500, which can be regarded as a small antelope group.

Kant also did not order the hunt.

Today's "Dehrim" is not short of food, and there are only more than 100 people in total. Even if they are provided with unlimited supply, they can eat every meal. The bread and dried meat they currently have, as well as flour and other reserves, can eat 1 months.

What's more, at the end of each month, new desert antelopes will arrive.

Kant calculated in his heart: "In this case, the formation of a caravan will be put on the agenda as soon as possible."

Caravans are currently one of Kant's strategic goals.

It is obviously irrational to spend precious dinars and rely on system merchants to purchase certain materials.

After all, relying on such a rich country as the Principality of Lions, for example, some of the food and tools that are sold at a relatively high price in the system merchants are extremely cheap in the Principality of the Lions market.

The most typical example.

System merchants sell tools, such as axes and hoes, for a full 100 dinars.

This cost can catch up. The upgrade cost of a Swadian knight is 120 dinars. If you think about it, you can see that it is not cost-effective at all. It is better to spend a few big silver coins to buy tools that are calculated in a dozen or so. .

As for salt, a cherished trade item, it is not a problem to exchange a bag of salt for hundreds of tools.

Kant was thinking.

The system dialog box appeared on his retina.

[Ding... With the rising sun, a new week begins. 】

[Income: You receive a tax of 0 dinars in Dehrim (village). 】

[Expenditures: You paid 2,186 dinars to all the troops. 】

[Financial overview: At present, there are no farmers paying taxes, no businessmen paying taxes, no factories paying taxes, and no income in "De Herim". The main expenditures are: Swadian light infantry 369, Swadian heavy cavalry 1472, Sarandian rider 145 dinars. Fatis 100 dinars, Manid 100 dinars. 】

Here are the financial statements that appeared early Monday morning.

Kant scanned the numbers above with a calm expression.

He was already mentally prepared for this.

The current "Dehrim" is completely dependent on the help of the system to support the present.

Moreover, the population has been converted into combat soldiers, and the overall development model is also based on military priority. If you want to build factories and conduct commercial activities, at least you have to wait for the further development of "De Herim".

Just like now, "Dehrim" can continue to upgrade.

"Remember, I still have an upgrade card."

Kant calculated in his mind.

This is the quest reward obtained after helping the system absorb strange objects.

Looking at this golden card floating in his mind, Kant's thinking connection system, silently said: "Use."

【ding...system prompt】

[Unable to upgrade the village, please build all the village-level buildings in time, and the upgrade can only be done after the construction is complete. Remarks: Please properly consider the number of houses to be built according to the type of subsequent upgrades. 】

But the system pops up a dialog box.

The golden cards in his mind did not disperse, but still floated in Kant's mind.

Looking at the introduction, Kant frowned: "Build all the village-level buildings?"

As Kant's thinking spreads, a dialog box reappears on the retina. It is the existing buildings in "De Herim", as well as the unbuilt buildings, and the building package.

[Buildings: Consulate Hall, House (6), Watchtower, Desert Bandit Camp, Grocery Store, Sugar Workshop, Training Ground]

[Buildable: houses, walls, mills, wells]

【Building Package: Post Station, Stone Wall】

Kant understood in his heart.

"And walls, mills, and wells?"

He opened his mouth softly, but frowned slightly.

The reason why I didn't build these 3 buildings by myself is that these 3 buildings are useless in "Dehrim" at present, and even if they are built, they are just a waste of time and dinars.

An introduction to pop-up buildings on the retina.

[Mill: Agricultural buildings can be divided into two types: wind power and water power. Barley and other grains can be ground to produce flour. Construction cost 200 dinars and took 14 days. 】

[Wall: a military building, the stones are built into half a meter and then surround the village. The function is to prevent poultry from running into the wild, not to defend against the enemy. Construction cost 100 dinars and took 7 days. 】

[Water wells: civil buildings, excavated from the ground. There needs to be water veins in the ground, otherwise the wells dug out will not produce water. Construction cost 100 dinars and took 7 days. 】

Kant was still helpless.

Now that his wheat fields have not been harvested, it is useless to build a mill so early.

The half-meter-high wall can really only prevent livestock from running into the wild.

As for the wells…

Kant now has spring water and lake water, and he builds wells when he is full. This is the most useless thing.

If the ruins of the Gnoll Tribe were regarded as a village, perhaps Kant could build a water well, but it would be too naive to build a well in an area with abundant water sources in the sentry oasis.

"Wait..." But Kant was stunned.

The thoughts in his mind diverged, and he looked at the post station of the construction package, and he suddenly had a bold idea.

The post station is the transit point between the Sentinel Oasis and the Sanwaya Mountains.

If the salt trade starts, Kant intends to build a post in the middle, arrange some soldiers and farmers to garrison in the past, and provide some services for the caravan between the two places.

Including fresh water and accommodation.

In the previous idea, Kant was transported by water bladder, but now it seems that it does not need such trouble.

"System, build a post station, can you build a water well next to it?"

Kant thinking communication system to ask.

"Yes." The system's answer was still straightforward: "As long as there are water veins in the ground, wells can be built."

"it is good."

Nodding lightly, Kant's eyes flickered.

If you look at it this way, it seems that the well is not so useless. If it is well matched with the post station, it can completely become the next gathering point of the village, and to a certain extent, it is also Kant's bridgehead for the Principality of Lions, an observation post. .
