Chapter 46: Building rammed earth walls

Simon also ordered Made to roast dozens of pheasants, rabbits and other meat to reward his men.

It's getting late now. It's a little late to cook sheep and slaughter cattle. We'll talk about it tomorrow.

This time, after killing the Bok family, we also captured dozens of sheep and more than 20 cattle, two of which could be slaughtered and eaten.

Cattle are not particularly scarce in the Eagle Kingdom, as there are several large pastures where cattle can be raised.

Especially the north wind land is full of pastures and is rich in war horses, cattle and sheep.

From the current situation, the conditions in West Sedi are not bad, and it will definitely be a horse-producing area in the future, but the scale may not be as large as that of Beifeng.

In the Lord's Hall.

Simon and his wife Winnie are enjoying a sumptuous dinner.

Roasted venison legs and steaks, white bread with butter, and a plate of purple wild berries.

The dozens of slave soldiers who went hunting today worked really hard and actually encountered a herd of red deer and killed seven or eight of them.

The meals in the past few days will be so rich, and deer are a good food, which is very filling.

"Winice, you have to put down what you are doing and come with me tomorrow." Simon said easily.

"Huh? Where are we going?"

After Winis ate a piece of soft white bread, she licked her fingers and asked doubtfully.

"Go to the Fearless Territory in the south. You need to use the guardian magic ring to eliminate the undead." Simon explained.

"Hey, do you think the undead souls born after a person dies can still tell what happened before they were born?" He suddenly asked.

"Undead? Some undead can still remember, but very few. Most of them are confused. A few can remember some fragments.

Usually the longer they have been dead, the more chaotic and violent the undead become.

There are very few people who can transform into dark creatures such as undead or ghouls after death, and some elusive conditions are required.

There may not be even one among hundreds of people.

Why are you suddenly interested in this? "Winice asked strangely.

"We wiped out a bandit camp. I'm afraid that the undead will make it unclean at night, so I want you to use the guardian magic ring to clean it up."

Simon said this. Although Winnis was the person beside her, she still didn't dare to believe it. It was better to hide such a big thing first.

What she knew or didn't know didn't matter.

"Oh, no problem! Are there any thieves here now? There's nothing to steal..."

"Don't worry, I led my men to kill them all. Even if there are other thieves, they will never dare to harass us." Simon said confidently.

"Hmm~" Winnis responded with a charming smile.

Afterwards, the couple chatted for some time, and then he went back to the house to read a book, learn magic formations, and then went to bed.

But before going to bed, he was half lying on the bed and looking at the panel in front of him. He was currently at level three, and further upgrades required four thousand experience points.

Today, Simon led people to destroy the Pork family and gained a lot of experience, which directly helped him level up.

This is the first time in history that I have made such a big jump. It seems that I am still progressing faster with the murder and arson gold belt.

As for the newly acquired strengthening point, Simon did not rush to make a choice and closed the page in front of him.

"Winice, turn on the lamp." He looked at the beauty sitting at the table, writing and drawing.

"Hmm~" After hearing this, she put away the parchment, returned the quill to its place, stood up and went to blow out the candle lightly.

Then he crept onto the bed, and Simon hugged him around the waist.

Since he had eaten venison, his whole body was very hot, so Winnie would inevitably have to work hard...

Early the next morning, Simon got up, got dressed, and practiced with his sword for a while.

When she was sweating profusely, Winnis got up slowly. She was really exhausted last night and fell asleep in the middle of the night.

Simon is like a calf, the deer blood and meat are really powerful.

"Get up, let's go, let's go eat."

Simon smiled and handed the sword to the guard on the side, then went to the water tank to get water to wash away the sweat on his body.

After that, they walked towards the hall, with Winnis and several maids following closely behind.

After a while, they sat down in the hall, and the food was served like water.

The main course was venison and roasted venison steak, along with white bread, butter and wheat porridge.

Today's white bread is a little yellow because it is baked with freshly ground wheat flour, and impurities cannot be removed.

The high-quality white bread I bought earlier has been eaten up, and there is nowhere to replenish it.

But some of them are good to eat, so you can’t be too picky.

To be honest, if he didn't eat all kinds of large pieces of meat every day, Simon's dietary level would not be better than that of a well-off family in his hometown.

After the meal was finished, the dishes and jars were removed.

Simon rinsed his mouth, put on his heavy armor with the help of his servants, and walked out of the hall.

Outside, Sarit had already prepared his soldiers and were waiting in line.

"Call Yaman over." Simon ordered.

"Yes!" Mailan beside him responded, immediately mounted an ordinary war horse and galloped away.

Soon after, Yaman followed behind on a horse and came not far from Simon.

"Sir!" He dismounted and walked up to Simon, saluting respectfully.

"I heard you found limestone in those hills to the north?"

Simon asked with a smile.

"Yes, sir, quite a few." Yaman replied with a smile on his face.

"Okay, let's bake a batch of lime these days. First, use the earth tamping method to build a wall around the castle. It must have good defense.

This is also the prototype of Yongyi Town. At least four hundred acres of land should be enclosed. Can it be done? "Simon asked.

"Sir, how many people can you give me?" Yaman thought for a moment and asked.

"Five hundred serfs, as well as those stonemasons, builders, and carpenters, are all at your disposal.

In addition, I will teach you a little trick. Come here..." Simon waved his hand and motioned him to come closer.

Yaman immediately moved closer and listened for a while, with a strange look in his eyes.

"Baron? Isn't this a waste of food? Can it really work?" He whispered in surprise.

"This is a secret recipe that will never be passed on!

If you don't believe it, try it yourself. In order to build a solid city wall, it's nothing to pay for some food.

Remember, it must be boiled until it is thick, at least you can't see the original wheat grains, you can break them in advance." Simon smiled.

"Yes, sir! I will try it.

In this case, it will take me four months to build a rammed earth wall covering 400 acres of land. "Yaman thought for a moment and said.

"Okay, I will assign another 500 people to you after the busy farming season is over.

After the castle is built, I will make you an honorary knight." Simon nodded.

"Thank you, sir!" Yaman was refreshed and saluted immediately. He also wanted to be a noble.

But he felt that his fighting power was insufficient and his hope was slim. Simon's words undoubtedly gave him a shot in the arm.

"Go."

"Yes, sir! I will definitely complete the task you assigned to me! "Yaman patted his chest and went.

The secret recipe Simon told him was actually to mix rye porridge into the rammed earth.

Yaman knew about adding lime, sand and clay, and he knew how to make mortar.

But adding porridge was beyond his imagination, and he certainly didn't understand it. This was the method of making glutinous rice mortar.

It would be best to use glutinous rice, but the Eagle Kingdom didn't have this crop, so rye had to be used instead.

Anyway, the one that works is amylopectin, which has the function of bonding and hardening.

If the proportion is right, the finished product is not much different from concrete, and it is durable.

The amylopectin content of rye is less than that of glutinous rice, but there is still a lot, it's just not the best choice.

The rammed earth wall is used as a transition first, and if the final product is not satisfactory, it can be modified. It can be used for three to five years in the early stage.

In fact, if this kind of slurry with porridge is done right, it may be no problem to use it for one or two hundred years.
