Chapter 247 Inspection of the transformation plan!
"By the way, Thomas, the castle will continue to recruit servants, and you can decide on the number! In addition, Sir, I plan to start training the servants to be literate, so when selecting servants, try to choose smart ones!"
Due to the tulip shop, there are only half of the castle servants left, so it is no longer enough. It is urgent to recruit servants again.
In addition, Nalant suddenly remembered his education plan and gave the instructions immediately.
"Yes, sir, you are truly a far-sighted lord!" Thomas patted the horse and was then dismissed by Nalant.
…
After seeing the Warcraft Horse, Nalant was not idle, he still had a lot of things to do.
After returning yesterday, he helped Catherine complete the intermediate awakening and slept until dusk, so he didn't have time to check the renovation plan of Maiye Village.
Of course, what's more important is that he hasn't gotten the green elf yet!
At that moment, Nalant led his guards directly out of the castle.
"I've met you, sir!" Arriving at Maiye Village, Mario saw his arrival and immediately came forward to greet him excitedly.
"Mario, it seems that you have been working very hard during this period!"
Although I passed Maiye Village last night, I couldn't see it clearly because it was dark.
When we arrived at the square, we saw single-family villas rising from the ground around us, and even the surrounding low courtyard walls had been completed.
"My lord, it is the duty and honor of a villain to manage affairs to the best of your ability!" Mario bowed humbly.
Nalant nodded and headed towards the nearest villa.
Of course, villa was what it was called in the previous life, but in this world it still has to be called a manor.
Among the estates planned this time, the first and second rows of estates near the square have the largest area, because these estates are prepared for commercial use.
As for the houses in the back rows, although they have a small front yard, they are purely residential areas, so the size of the yard is only a few square meters.
Walking into the first row of built large manors, Narant began to look around.
The front yard area of this large manor alone is at least over a hundred square meters.
The world is short of food and people, but the only thing that is not lacking is land, so when Nalant planned it, he generously expanded the area.
"Sir, according to your plan, this front yard will be paved with lawn and then equipped with stone tables and chairs. It will definitely be very beautiful!"
"Well, it's really good."
Nalant nodded and looked towards the empty house ahead.
Although this house, Nalanant, borrowed the appearance of the villa and bungalow in its previous life, it is not too far removed from the style of this world.
In fact, some details have been transformed into the manor style of this world.
For example, due to problems with building materials, the doors and windows of stone houses in this world cannot be opened too wide because the weight of the stone does not allow it.
Otherwise, the cost will have to increase exponentially, which only the great nobles can afford.
But bricks don't have this concern, they are not heavy, so the windows and doors can be as wide as possible.
If it weren't for the fact that there was no glass in this world, Narant would definitely build some floor-to-ceiling windows.
In addition to the windows, the shape of the house is also as beautiful as possible, no worse than the exquisite marble stone houses in the east of Tulip City.
Originally, it was difficult to see exquisite stone houses in such a rural place. After all, the lords and commoners did not have that much money, so they usually only needed to be sturdy, and they were all regular square houses.
"Mario, when the time comes, add a circular pool to the front yard of these manors, and put a beautiful sculpture in the pool!" Suddenly, Nalant felt that the front yard was too spacious, so he immediately added a landscape.
"Yes, sir!" Mario's eyes lit up and he immediately wrote down this instruction.
As an elite valet in the Earl's Castle, he has also seen the pools in front of some very large manors, which are indeed very beautiful.
"It's a pity that we don't have the technology of the previous life, otherwise it would be more perfect to have a fountain!"
After a cursory inspection, Nalant had no intention of entering the house. Anyway, the doors and windows were not opened, and he could still have a panoramic view outside.
"Mario, I think the manor in the first row is almost completed! Let's start arranging the decoration. As for the houses in the back rows, the construction can be postponed later!"
Because a large number of noble guests were to be welcomed in a month, Narant changed his original plan and wanted to complete the first row of buildings as soon as possible.
This is not because of his vanity, the biggest reason is that he wants to promote bricks, and this is the best opportunity.
When the real thing is in front of his eyes, Nalant feels that there must be nobles who will be moved by it.
"Yes, sir!"
"Well, I have purchased a lot of lime powder and tree paint this time. Then you can ask a few craftsmen to adjust it and see how to achieve the best painting effect!"
The style of the manor is not the small bridges and flowing water in the south of the Yangtze River in the previous life, but more European style. Therefore, whitewashing the walls is still necessary, otherwise the blue brick shell will look nondescript.
Fortunately, there is also lime in this world. To apply lime on walls, just add water.
Of course, in order for the plaster to adhere firmly to the wall, some adhesive still needs to be added.
There is a kind of tree paint in this world, which is used by carpenters to paint high-end furniture.
It is even used when repairing castles, because with its addition, it fills the gaps in the wall and makes it less likely to peel off.
Therefore, by adding this tree paint, the lime powder outside the wall should also be stronger.
However, the specific adding ratio still needs to be tried by the craftsmen themselves!
After completing the instructions one by one, Nalant did not plan to stop in Maiye Village. Instead, he directly opened the system panel and clicked on the search function!
"The distance is not far! Little one, I'm coming!"
Looking at the flashing green dot on the radar, Nalant led everyone directly towards Lucky Village.
After walking forward for more than ten minutes, Nalant excused himself to urinate and asked his men to wait where they were, while he got behind the bushes on the side.
Not surprisingly, with the help of the system's radar, he accurately found the crater.
Kaka!
Use your long sword to smash the outer shell, and the little green guy among the meteorites will be revealed.
"Little one! Come on!"
Apply the magic tulip powder on your fingers, and with a chirp, the elf's contract of recognition is completed.
Migu Migu!
After signing the contract, the green elf slowly woke up and opened his eyes. When he saw Nalant, he immediately called out affectionately.
Migu Migu!
But at this moment, a response suddenly came from Nalant's arms.
With a squirming movement under the clothes, a yellow elf came out, revealing half of its head. It was the saltpeter elf that Nalant bought in Tulip City.
The two little guys looked at each other with big eyes and small eyes. There was no hostility or competition for favor. Instead, they looked like fellow villagers meeting fellow villagers.
"Two little guys, let's have a good chat for a while, you will be separated again later!"
Nalant has another task today, which is to let the saltpeter elf open up the mine.
Although saltpeter powder used for making ice can be used repeatedly, loss is inevitable.
The large box of saltpeter ore he got from the cargo owner last time had been used a lot when Narant left Tulip. Now he needs to open the saltpeter ore quickly, then mine it and send it to Tulip City to ensure the supply of shaved ice.
Putting the two little guys on his left and right hands respectively, Nalant returned towards the dirt road.
