The construction in the castle was in an orderly manner, although the monks responsible for helping the construction were puzzled by many of Arude's designs and plans, for example: Arude did not allow live poultry and livestock to live in a mixed place. This was because Arude knew that many human diseases were infected with live poultry and livestock. In order to avoid diseases that were even more terrible than the enemy, he prepared to separate poultry and livestock in advance.

Some of Arod's other ideas were extremely rare in the eyes of monks. The foods eaten by the medieval people were fruits, cheeses and barley bread. Among them, barley bread was not what we ate in later generations. The hard bread was harder than stones. When eaten, it had to be soaked in water and soup before it could be put into the mouth. Therefore, Arod ordered the serfs to soak the burnt wood ash in the water, and pour some water soaked in wood ash when the baker made it with barley flour. People found that after baking, these originally hard barley breads became soft and delicious.

"Why is this?" He tore off a small piece of soft barley bread with his hands. Julian's mouth was filled with bread. He sat in the hall of the Saxon house and had dinner with Arod. John Berg was also chewing. He was also very confused about this. He felt that Arod was like a magician, who actually made such soft and delicious food from wood ash. Julian and John Berg were important figures in Arod's team. Therefore, when Arod had no family, they lived on the second floor of the Saxon house.

"Because there is something called alkali in the burnt wood ash, which makes the originally hard barley bread soft." Arod had long hated the hard bread. He looked at the people who were so motivated by eating soft food, and felt that he should make innovations and improvements in food. The thin people are not a good source of soldiers. There are elk herds in the forest here. The venison obtained by hunters after hunting. Arod asked people to smoke it with pine needles and sawn wood ash. This bacon tastes not only good, but also conducive to long-term preservation.

"Earl, we have divided the peasants into hunting teams, construction teams, farming teams and workshop workers as you told me. But our staff are still insufficient." Julian is now Arod's personal servant. He has to arrange everything in the castle. This is also impossible. Arod does not have his own court ministers, and the only nobles who can be used now are Julian. Although Arod does not discriminate against the nobles and the civilians. He is willing to promote as long as he has the ability. But the problem is that his people are a lot of illiterate people, and it is impossible for the peasants who rely on stupid people to complete their plans. Unfortunately, Arod just gained a foothold in Mecklen County. His reputation has not yet made the nobles surrender.

"It's okay, Jeff helped me contact the slave merchants. I will come to the Ryushi Castle recently. The problem of manpower is easy to solve. The construction of houses must be accelerated, and sewage canals must be built. The abandoned water is discharged into the river through the sewage canal. Summer is approaching. We cannot let the castle be covered with mosquitoes." Arod picked up a cup and took a sip. He looked at the two current officials in front of him, and was a little worried about whether the construction of the canal canal can be achieved. Although the canal only digging a ditches on the ground, how to guide sewage into the river water along the terrain is indeed a science, which made him a little worried, but John Berg helped Arod solve this problem.

"Monster Elvit?" Arod was stunned when he heard this name. He felt that the name was very familiar. He seemed to have heard it somewhere and then he remembered that this was the traitor that Monk Barth asked him to kill.

"That's right, this monk Elvit was originally responsible for the water conservancy management of the Monastery of St. Fonso and had a lot of experience in water conservancy." Johnberg took a chicken leg and bit it halfway and said to Arod.

"Oh, then let him try." Aruod held his chin and thought about it. It was very easy to kill a monk on the land of pagans. He originally planned to do this, but since this monk named Elvit had special talents, the plan to kill him could retreat, so Aruod said to Johnberg.

"It's the Count." John Berg put down his chicken legs and nodded to Arod and said.

The breakfast meeting of the Rage Lion Castle decided the day's work. After the meal, Aruod walked around the castle to check. The plans in the castle were progressing smoothly. Although there was a little insufficient manpower, because the goals were set, all projects were progressed. Anyway, the most important defense was already in place, and other supporting service facilities could be taken slowly. Because Aruod brought a lot of food and the serfs were full of energy, some of them were assigned to work, and some worked hard to build the castle. When they saw Aruod, they took off their hats and saluted him respectfully. This was not a fear of the nobles but a respect from the heart.

"Have the Count accepted your suggestion?" Johnberg came to the mercenaries' long house. One of them was imprisoning Monk Elvit. In fact, he could not escape without being imprisoned. In addition to the archers on the arrow tower, Aroud's Rage Lion Castle also installed various secret whistles in addition to the guards at the city gate. These secret whistles were equipped with horses. If you find that there are people who leave without permission, the secret whistles will ride on horses and capture them back.

"Yes, just like you said, the Count accepted your order as the administrator of the sewage digging. Are you planning to escape?" John Berg looked at the young monk in front of him. He knelt under the window of the long house, as if praying. John Berg did not take the captive seriously at first, but Monk Elvit told John Berg about the Earl of Geneva, which forced John Berg to give in to him. Monk Elvit was actually related to the Earl of Geneva, which means he was a relative of the Monk John Berg.

"Escape, no, why do you want to escape? I want to help Count Arod." Monk Elvit stood up, his body was slender and looked very straight, and there was a proud aura standing in front of the strong Johnberg, as if he was not a prisoner but a noble monarch.

"Help Count Arod?" Johnberg frowned. He did not believe the monks in front of him. He heard from the monks of Saint Fontso Monastery that Monaster Elvitt betrayed Monk Bart and helped Robert kill several high-level monks. Now should he betray Robert and throw himself into Arod's arms again, or this was just a conspiracy to approach Arod and wait for an opportunity to be detrimental to Arod.

"Yes, the only thing I hate is that I cannot obtain a status that matches myself. Hof Hannis cannot recognize my talents, nor can I, of course, there is a stupid monk Barth. Of course, there is a stupid Robert. This made me think that no one in this world can make me loyal. But Count Arod is like a messenger of God. Everything he did is beyond my imagination. There are such young and talented nobles in the world. It seems that the Lord has not abandoned us." Monk Elvit talked to John Berg. His face was flushed red with excitement, and his eyes were emitting a fanatical light.

"I don't know what you said, but Count Arod has saved me. If you dare to do it against him, even if you are a relative of the Earl of Geneva, I swear to God that I will chase you to the ends of the earth, insert the sword into your stomach, pull out your intestines, and stuff them into your mouth." Johnberg said to Monk Elvit in a threatening tone, and after that, he turned around and left without looking back.

"Well, interesting, he actually gained the loyalty of the most stubborn Swiss." Monk Elvitt just smiled. He had his own set of rhetoric for the betrayal he had made, but Arud's mysterious knowledge was fascinating. Looking at the soft barley bread in a wooden plate placed on the wooden table, who could know that the secret of making food soft and refreshing was hidden in the ashes of the wood, Arud, an ordinary nobleman, could actually unveil the veil of God's secrets.

Monk Elvit is worthy of being a monk with rich experience in water conservancy. Under his command, the serfs dug a connected drainage ditch behind the house building along the terrain. The exit of the drainage ditch was digging under the city wall. Sewage could flow into the moat from here without affecting the hygiene in the castle. Arod stood on the roof of the Saxon house and looked at Monk Elvit's masterpiece. At this moment, the monk Elvit, who was commanding the serf, saw Arod standing on the roof of the Saxon house, wearing a chain mail cover, a black lion emblem shirt, carrying a sharp sword, and behind him, he bowed respectfully to Arod with a smile. Arod nodded and returned his greeting.

"Our Lord Earl Our light cavalry received news that the slave merchants sent by Jeff were coming, and they were almost coming." At this time, Julian climbed the roof and pointed his finger at the south side of the castle, where was a path extending from the forest, and you could vaguely see a carriage coming towards the castle.

"Good news." Aruod smiled on his face. The arrival of slaves could replenish manpower. When the population reached a certain level, he could build another wall on the periphery and divide the land into various streets. He even planned to build a comprehensive area of ​​markets and yards. Mecklenburg County was close to the Baltic Sea. Following the Baltic Sea, you could enter the Nordic Strait and the English Channel to the west, and you could enter the territory of the Grand Duchy of Ross to the east. There was a large area of ​​resources and land. In addition, the fur trade points of various countries were concentrated here, and nothing was easier to accumulate wealth than building a port to develop commerce.
