Chapter 367 - 367 367 Be Self-reliant to Have Plenty of Food and Clothing

367: Chapter 367: Be Self-reliant to Have Plenty of Food and Clothing 367: Chapter 367: Be Self-reliant to Have Plenty of Food and Clothing Miller’s merchant team needed more time, as the slaves under him still had to learn and train.

With too few talents under his command, this was the situation he faced.

Even though the slaves had been fully motivated, most of them still fell short in abilities, as they all came from ordinary backgrounds after all.

When it came to culture, let alone literacy, few of them could recognize any characters.

Having no choice, Zhao Guang had to organize these children, and in the face of insufficient manpower, he temporarily reassigned an elderly man who could read to act as a teacher for these kids.

One advantage of children born to slaves was that they were relatively obedient.

They didn’t turn out to be unruly brats who wouldn’t listen to anyone, which brought Zhao Guang some relief.

Talent, oh, he needed to increase his pool of talent as soon as possible, otherwise, when would his territory develop?

Now that his territory lay in ruins and awaited revival, he had to personally get involved in all aspects.

Apart from the fixed time for training and learning research each day, Zhao Guang had devoted all his energy to the construction of his territory.

Because of this, he even went to Earth less often than before.

If he hadn’t shown up every few days, they would probably have thought he had gone missing.

Every time he went back, he had to listen to his older sister’s complaints, which was somewhat helpless.

“How did the experimental firing of the brick kiln go?” Zhao Guang asked while looking at the construction project in front of him.

Qiao Miya ran over quickly, “It’s completed.

Thanks to the experiments conducted by Miss Xi Fei, the brick kiln can now produce qualified bricks.” That’s right, Xi Fei was in charge of starting the fire.

Because Xi Fei could release flames and raise the temperature much faster than using charcoal.

Trees here were scarce, and they had to go to even more distant places to chop wood to make charcoal.

It would take some time before they had enough charcoal, and they also needed to reserve it for the winter, so it couldn’t be wasted at all right now.

“Very good, then start producing more bricks according to our planning blueprint.”

As Zhao Guang spoke, he gradually turned the sand in his hand into glass.

Excellent, the experiment was done, and next, the glass factory could be built.

Glass not only served as a building material and household item but could also be traded as a commodity.

In this world, because of the interference of magic elements, it was difficult for flames to reach a certain temperature unless a mage intervened.

As a result, the utensils used by commoners were often carved out of wood and stone, with a few being ordinary pottery of not-so-great quality.

Nobles, on the other hand, used metal products.

They had copper ware that was not prone to rust, as well as gold and silver utensils or those made from other materials that Zhao Guang did not recognize.

But with these light and crystal-clear glass products, Zhao Guang believed they would surely be a big hit.

Once production was complete, he would use glass products as his territory’s first specialty.

Anyway, without the Anti-Magic Domain, others wouldn’t be able to figure out how these items were made.

As for the Anti-Magic Domain, Zhao Guang described it as something used for alert and defense purposes.

With it, not only would mages be suppressed, but Combat Energy of various attributes would also be suppressed.

At the same time, many magic items would become unusable, just like the magic items he used on Earth.

Even if they could be used, they would stop functioning after the stored magic power was depleted.

“Master, I’ve found it, I found the clay,” Jeana suddenly ran over at this moment.

At this time, Jeana was covered in dust and looked like a little mud person.

“How did you get covered in so much dirt?”

Not minding her appearance, Jeana said, “Master, take a look.

Is this clay?”

Zhao Guang had originally planned to look for clay near the brook but had found none.

Later, Jeana had followed the stream and, before Zhao Guang had set out, had already brought the soil back.

Zhao Guang looked at it and said, “Good, it is clay.

Combined with limestone and other materials, we can start making cement.”

A smile spread across Zhao Guang’s face.

With bricks and cement, the construction of houses could begin.

As for the place where he would live and the surrounding defensive structures, he still needed rebar.

There were already a lot of these rebars and square steel stored back on Earth; he simply needed to fetch them.

Although over the past few days, Zhao Guang always felt as if someone was watching him, he didn’t bother to conceal his activities anymore.

Let them watch.

Sometimes, the more you do, the more slips you leave behind.

Let them fill in the gaps with their imagination, since, in their minds, things couldn’t possibly just disappear.

The slaves immediately came forward to report that the excavation for the foundation was almost done.

Zhao Guang walked over, looked at the site, and then shook his head, “Keep digging, make it deeper.”

The slaves didn’t argue, they simply organized the workforce to continue digging.

Yet Jeana seemed puzzled, “Master, why do we need to dig so deep?

According to our plans, this should be deep enough, right?”

Zhao Guang shook his head, “It might be enough for other places, but not here.”

Zhao Guang pointed across the way, “That’s the border with Beastmen territory.

Have you forgotten they have an enemy called Mouse-men?

These creatures are adept at burrowing underground.

We need to thicken the cement to make sure there are no issues.”

Zhao Guang had already decided that beneath all towns in the future, there would be a thick layer of cement.

This way, not only would the Mouse-men fail to burrow through, even Earth Mages wouldn’t be able to threaten his domain.

Jeana looked across and nodded lightly.

Although the Ents were mainly causing trouble in the South, who knew if they might move to the North.

It’s always good to be prepared; making his own cement would use up just some labor and raw materials.

Zhao Guang had spent quite a bit of time researching the formula for this very substance.

It’s a pity that the real special cement formula was too complex, and it wasn’t easy to replicate it in the Otherworld.

“We may have to invite an Earth Mage here to reinforce the cement ground as well.”

Zhao Guang decided he would later issue a task at the Silver Tower, even though this might expose his identity.

But being identified as a mage from the Silver Tower wasn’t an identity that would bring on trouble.

In Imperial City, many mages had their own organizations and few kept them hidden.

“Sir, the five pigs have been settled.

Do you want to go see?”

The one who called him ‘sir’ was a Slave who hadn’t signed a contract.

Zhao Guang didn’t want to hear the title ‘master’ all the time.

If it weren’t for not yet being able to improve the slave contract, he would certainly make some revisions to it.
