Otherworld Management Manual

"Zhang, Zhang Feng..."

Caroline hesitated to speak.

"What's wrong?"

Zhang Feng gave his residence to Erica to train the slaves, and is now on his way back to the castle.

"We are running out of food. If we supply unlimited supplies to those slaves, we probably won't even last a week."

Caroline knew that saying this might make Zhang Feng unhappy, but it was the truth, and she had to say it.

After Zhang Feng announced the unlimited supply of food to these slaves, Caroline almost wanted to interrupt, but she still held back, she could not affect the authority of the city lord, she could only ask Zhang Feng when no one was around. complain.

In fact, Zhang Feng’s order just now, not to mention these slaves, is the envy of the soldiers who are maintaining order. If it weren’t for their high quality, they might have voluntarily become Zhang Feng’s slaves. Salary, the most important thing is that there is no danger to life, you don't need to do heavy work, you only need to learn noble etiquette, this is simply the life that most people dream of.

"Of course I know. You don't have to worry about the food problem. It will be solved soon—or soon."

Zhang Feng seemed to have remembered something, and suddenly turned around and shouted:

"Knight Marlowe."

"exist."

Marlowe on the side responded immediately.

"I left something in my house. Go and help me get it back. It's just a burden. It's about this big. You can see it on the second floor."

Zhang Feng stretched out his arms and made gestures with his hands.

"Yes."

Marlowe, who was wearing shiny knight armor, didn't ask any questions, and went back straight away.

Zhang Feng looked thoughtfully at the background of Marlowe's departure.

It is a bit unreasonable to let a knight run errands for him, mainly because there are too few knights in Hongye City.

At present, there are only two knights left. Knight Marlowe usually stays by Caroline’s side to protect her. Knight Baker is temporarily in charge of the security affairs of Hongye City, patrolling every day, plus a dozen soldiers, this is Hongye the entire force of the city.

Originally, Zhang Feng was not very concerned about the matter of military strength, because he felt that Hongye City seemed to be very safe, but after seeing Erica today and hearing that there were horse thieves as professions, he felt a sense of crisis. I should put recruitment on the agenda.

Although Zhang Feng has no idea of ​​fighting for world hegemony and doesn't need a lot of soldiers, it's one thing to have them, and another to use them.

Go back and discuss with Marlowe to see what conditions can attract the knights. As long as there are enough knights, they can train soldiers.

As for training in person? Zhang Feng didn't think about it at all. After all, professional things should be done by professional people.

He can bring the advanced military training methods from another world to the knights for reference, but the specific operation method still needs to be done by the knights. After all, if you want to become a qualified knight, you have to start training from the age of six. Zhang Feng doesn't think so. Looking at the theoretical knowledge for a few days by yourself is better than the experience of others for more than half a lifetime.

When Zhang Feng and Caroline leisurely returned to the castle hall, Knight Marlowe came back.

He was holding a big black bag with shock and disbelief in his eyes.

Zhang Feng sat on the main seat and waved his hand.

"Open it."

When Marlowe found the big bag, it hadn't been zipped up, and he had seen what was in it for himself, which was why he was so shocked.

After receiving Zhang Feng's order, Marlowe unzipped the zipper jerkyly.

A bunch of beautifully packaged things caught Caroline's eyes.

"This is?"

Caroline walked in to observe curiously.

First of all, I saw a translucent bag, which contained grains of white objects.

"Polished rice!"

Although I know that Zhang Feng has polished rice,

After all, Caroline had eaten the polished rice porridge made by Zhang Feng in the morning, but she was still a little surprised to see so much polished rice placed in front of her.

Due to the climate, the production of polished rice here is very scarce. Even the great nobles rarely buy rice. They usually eat meat and bread as their staple food.

Polished rice is the food pursued by many nobles. Deliciousness is only one of the reasons, and more importantly, it is rare. This is capital that can be shown off in the aristocratic circle. The price of polished rice can be imagined, and naturally it will not be cheap.

There are 3 bags of polished rice in this big bag, and each bag weighs 5 catties. As for the price, it is not very easy to estimate, because this kind of luxury goods can be sold at different prices in the hands of different people, which vary from person to person.

But it certainly won't be cheap.

Caroline was a little excited and looking forward to it, because the three bags of polished rice only accounted for a small part of this strange black package.

"what is this?"

Caroline picked up another package of items in a transparent package, and the crystals inside looked like white sand, which looked very white. This bag was much smaller than polished rice, only about the size of her two palms.

"That's salt."

Zhang Feng came over.

"Salt?"

Caroline was a little confused. All the salt she had seen were thumb-sized and yellowish crystalline particles. How could there be such white and fine salt?

Zhang Feng didn't talk nonsense, and directly took it over and tore off a corner of the package.

"Try it, how is this different from the salt you eat."

Gently holding the tip of Caroline's palm, Zhang Feng poured some salt into her palm.

Caroline was a little shy about Zhang Feng's actions, but she didn't refuse, because she was more curious.

Dab a little bit with your fingers and put it in your mouth.

"Hmm~ so salty!"

The salt Caroline had eaten before was unprocessed coarse salt, not only salty, but also bitter, astringent, and other strange tastes.

For a chef, how much salt to put in cooking is very important. It should be salty but not too bitter. Even the chef of the Santo's family can't control the amount well. Caroline Often tastes bitter.

And most importantly, salt is expensive!

There is neither sea nor salt mine near Hongye City, and salt is a necessity and needs to be transported from far away, so the price of salt has always remained high.

That's still regular kosher salt.

If this pure white salt appears on the market, Caroline is sure that even if it is ten or even a hundred times more expensive than coarse salt, there will be people willing to buy it.

Although the commoners are poor, the nobles are rich!

Seeing Caroline's brow wrinkled by the salt, but she was reluctant to spit it out and swallowed the salt in one gulp, Zhang Feng felt inexplicably cute.

"Then you're trying this."

He opened another bag of the same white granular items.

"Is this also refined salt? But it feels coarser than refined salt..."

Caroline frowned inwardly.

"Come on, open your mouth, ah~"

Caroline opened her mouth subconsciously, and Zhang Feng took out a small spoon from nowhere, scooped a spoonful, and before Caroline could react, directly stuck it into her mouth.

"Hmm~"

Caroline's eyes, shining like lakes, widened instantly.

so sweet!
