Another thing that I don’t know can be regarded as a hidden worry is that the airship of the Hyder Empire entered the Estali living area a few days ago, and the azure dragon was wreaking havoc.
Although the location of my mansion is close to the outskirts of the Holy City, it is not a no-nonsense zone. Especially after the airship was destroyed by the Azure Dragon and the wreckage fell nearby, those places are not within the range where no one lives, and even caused
damage, including damage to human life.
But to this day, no one has come to the door because of these two things? It's so quiet that it makes one's scalp numb.
The calm before the storm refers to this kind of atmosphere.
Lin only hoped that this was just his unfounded worries and overthinking.
At this time, the gray cat Hardy jumped on the table and sat in front of Lin. While wagging his tail gently, he said: "Sir, it seems that this matter has caused you a lot of trouble."
"You can see that." Lin replied casually.
"The guests have left for a while, and you are still sitting here thinking about things. It is rare to see such a situation. The most likely possibility is that this matter has embarrassed you, so you need time to think about it." Ha.
Dee said.
Lin did not refute Gray Cat's statement. Instead, he said: "That's true. Unfortunately, there is too little information to judge what they are planning."
"Haider Empire? The Kingdom of Silk?...or the Holy City?" Hadi asked tentatively.
"Ha, you noticed it too."
The gray cat Hardy licked his paws and combed his fur comfortably, and said: "The wreckage of the airship fell down a few days ago, smashing and injuring many things and people. Although there is a mansion in the Holy City
It is the custom that the courtyard is treated as a private domain and outsiders are not allowed to interfere. So the airship and the dragon came over your house to show off their power, but no one paid attention to it. This is somewhat reasonable. But it hurts people.
They have destroyed other people's territory, but they still remain silent. No matter how you think about this matter, it's weird."
"That's true." Lin nodded and said, "It's a pity that I don't know what they are thinking. After all, the comments on the forum have some meaning. On individual matters, they are not targeted enough."
"So, do you want me to go out and explore?" Hardy leaned forward and asked tentatively.
Lin has always kept these magical cats from the cat forest in the southern border of the Gwana Empire and used them to do some household chores. In someone's mind, kittens are playful and old cats are troublesome, so
He never asked them to do anything. Now Hardy mainly offered suggestions for help, which really surprised Lin.
Perhaps the surprised expression was too obvious, and Hardy, who was experienced in the world, saw it. It said: "I just help Bu Feng, Lily and Nini find something to do, and exercise them by the way. Otherwise, continue.
If they stay here, I'm afraid they will really turn into house cats. Also, you can try to let those guys out. They come from the streets, and their ability to collect gossip is no worse than your ability to collect information from forums. After all,
There are things people talk about but don't necessarily stay on the forum."
"Are those kids willing to go? I thought they came to me just to get off the streets." Thinking of the situation of those kids, Lin said uncertainly.
Hardy replied: "There will be people who want to get rid of the past and move towards a new life, but there will also be people who don't care. Even their experiences and connections on the street are regarded by them as important assets. So.
Talk to those children, you don’t have to force them, there will be people who are willing to help you find out the information. As for the conditions, of course, you have to talk to them yourself."
"It's just a small matter to have conditions. It seems that I have to change my positioning towards them."
Although Lin did not limit the conditions and number of children he could take in, the increase in equipment could not keep up with the number of children willing to defect. However, Lin did not turn away future children. However, some people did not like the environment here, or would
Giving up the opportunity to others and leaving voluntarily.
Fortunately, this situation has slowed down recently. Some people stayed and some left, so the current size of nearly 300 children has been maintained.
However, Lin has never cared about this. He just ordered a few of his apprentices to manage them. Mainly letting the older children take care of the younger ones. The adults only cared about preventing them from bullying each other, or finding excuses for corporal punishment.
.
In such an environment, it is impossible to say that there will be any innocent and beautiful childhood. It just provides them with three meals a day and teaches them basic knowledge. Of course, it will not help them find families willing to raise them, let alone do population work.
Buy and sell.
Someone thinks that he is not running an orphanage, but an educational institution. He treats them with the same attitude as adults. Even if these little guys from the streets can't be called cunning, they are definitely not innocent.
Evil. If you really treat them as children, you are just torturing yourself.
However, Gray Cat Hardy's suggestion made Lin think that some people could use it first instead of requiring them to learn some knowledge and skills and become craftsmen in the future.
Although it is not the intention to cultivate some thugs and hidden lines, you may not necessarily use them. But people should make the best use of their talents and materials. Some people are just not suitable to be craftsmen or scholars. If you force them to go that way, won't you miss someone's future?
.
Besides, if I don’t need any thugs, I can use my own industry. Now it’s not like before, when one person has enough to eat, the whole family is not hungry. It’s easy to feed a few apprentices. This is nothing to say. The main thing is that there are more scattered worries.
.There is nothing wrong with having someone help take care of the head and tail so that you don’t have to do everything yourself.
Thinking of this, Lin Yan smiled shyly and said: "Hadi, let's discuss it."
The gray cat took a few steps back warily, looked at the person with ill intentions, and said, "What's going on?"
"I'm going to talk to those kids. If you're willing to help, you can help take care of it. I'm familiar with writing things down. But for the parts I'm not familiar with, there's no rules for how to manage them. Since you want to
To train those three kittens, let’s use a group of children as cats and take care of them together. How about that?”
Hardy couldn't help but give him a disgusted expression. He looked at someone with squinting cat eyes.
Holding out a finger, Lin smiled and said: "One pound of Polygonum spp."
This is a plant that is not found in Mao Sen. We entrusted the Ruan brothers of the Jialong Chamber of Commerce to find it.
Because the names of plants in Midland are not exactly the same as those on Earth. On the one hand, it is to find tea, and on the other hand, it is also so that I can use the plants based on the knowledge of Earth. Before doing this, of course, I must first find out whether there are certain plants in Midland.
Plants are the only ones. So Lin had planned to compile a compendium of mythical herbs for himself, and at the same time let Fen take a DNA sample.
It’s a pity that we couldn’t find any tea either. But we found a plant that is enough to drive cats crazy, Trichosanthes esculentum. I was not sure whether Trichosanthes trichosanthes would work on magic cats. After all, ordinary house cats and devil cats have different genetic properties from the DNA level.
Technically speaking, they are two organisms of different species.
But one day when he saw three kittens causing trouble in the plant variety library, Lin knew that the attractiveness of the goldenrod to cats was still there. In order to prevent the three kittens from going crazy, Hardy took the initiative to confiscate the goldenrod! Parents
Everyone understands the formal confiscation.
However, the demon cats did not deliberately put forward Mu Tianli's request, and Lin did not continue to purchase goods from the Jialong Chamber of Commerce. This was because Hardy was a bit old-fashioned in his way of life, and he would not receive payment if he did not do anything. In order to stay in this home, the demon cats had a
Eating three meals more or less means finding some unimportant things to help myself with.
Now that he was entrusting the demon cats to do something, Lin smoothly stated the conditions. After Hardy heard it, his ears twitched back and forth, which was obviously a sign of emotion. Lin was even more happy and continued: "One pound
One month, until you don’t want to do it. Or if you want to just take Jin Ke Yin and buy what you need, that’s fine.”
After jumping forward a few steps, Hadi leaned forward and stretched out his paws, saying, "No, Mu Tian Polygonum will do. Anyway, I have to teach the three little ones, so it won't be a problem to take care of those children."
Lin smiled and put his hand on the cat's paw, shook it, and said, "Then it will be a happy cooperation."
Hardy's cat face also showed a professional smile and said: "Happy cooperation!"
By the way, cat grass is also found in the cat forest. It is specially planted and managed by cats. It is common to all magic cats and can only be used during a certain period of the year. Before leaving the cat forest, the three kittens were too young to use the cat grass.
Grass, so I have never used it. Hardy is old and accustomed to the irritation of cat grass, so he has no need for that. Wooden polygonum is a new thing, so it attracts Hardy.
The peaceful days continued after that. Whether it was the people of the Haider Empire or the people of the Kingdom of Silk, there had been no news from them since Princess Xindu met the dynasty for the last time.
Lin guessed that if they came over in an airship, after the airship was destroyed, it would be unlikely to walk back on two legs. The road between the Gwana Empire and the Haider Empire was not that group of people.
Can pass easily.
Not to mention robbers and bandits, there are natural chasms along the road, and monsters are rampant. If a group of people wants to go back, they must hire strong adventurers or mercenaries as guards. Then there are people who need to carry supplies, and there are even nobles and women in the team.
Consider things like carriages and horses.
However, this kind of long-distance employment is risky. After all, it is in an unfamiliar environment and it is impossible to obtain accurate reputations of employees. So for them, the best way is probably to wait for the empire to send a second airship.
Accept the process.
But these are just some people's own thoughts. As an earl, one of the five empires, although he is not yet in the rank of a great noble, he is capable of being an airship captain. Such a person has certain abilities.
Lin can't guarantee what kind of tricks he can pull off in the holy city of Estali.
Although the Holy City is a city dominated by magicians, it does not have a strong core. This means that as long as you have money, a flexible mind, and know how to work hard, you can actually do a lot of things.
In the territory of other nobles, if any civilian develops some achievements, there is no guarantee that the noble will reach out to pick peaches. Therefore, someone can have today's status because of the tolerance of the Holy City of Estali.
Atmosphere.
It's just that such advantages are also advantages for others. What others can do with such advantages is beyond Lin's control.
