Lord of Rot

Chapter 385 Baron Shit

"We're almost home~"

Li Qi stretched out and fell on the bed after getting on the boat. Maybe he had had enough dreams before, but this time his head was empty and he didn't have any more dreams, so he had a full sleep.

Standing on the deck and blowing the sea breeze, it blew away the dullness in the cabin.

He casually took the tea brought by the valet and took a sip.

"How is Nia?" Li Qi asked.

"Yes, sir," Pitchfork replied: "According to your arrangements, only feed a small portion of food at each meal to ensure that she will not be full."

"Yes." Li Qi nodded: "After getting off the ship, let the pharmacist check her body and pay attention to safety."

Looking at the upper body, Snake Girl Nia is a pitiful little girl, but the lower body is nothing less than the tail of a giant python. Ordinary people will definitely die if they are entangled, so it is very necessary to control her physical strength through food. .

Go to Pig Tail Bay Pier.

Li Qi got off the boat first, and he didn't need to take care of the rest of the matter, which would naturally be handled by the dock steward.

The soldier came over with a walking horse and asked Li Qi to ride on it.

He refused the others to follow him and put his legs under the horse's belly: "Drive!"

……

When Li Qi came to Scholar Thomas' residence, he was still studying the runes.

The spellcaster apprentices learned some knowledge from Thomas Scholar. It had been a day or two since the last shelling battle on the ship. The Porcupine was still being repaired, and they had nothing to do.

After seeing Li Qi's arrival, they all stood up: "Good day, sir!"

"Yeah" Li Qi nodded and looked at the caster apprentices: "The clothes are a bit messy. I will ask the tailor to make new clothes for you, caster robes..."

An idea came into his mind: "It's best to divide them into four colors, red, blue, yellow and green."

The apprentices only knew that they had custom-made robes to wear, and they thanked the lord again and again. They were all children of serfs or slaves, and they would be happy for a long time if they could wear new clothes.

Just when Li Qi and the young apprentices were chatting about whether each of them should have a scarf and a broom, Scholar Thomas finally came out.

"grown ups!"

"I have a good thing for you." Li Qi took out the "book" that he simply bound.

"This is?"

Scholar Thomas looked through it briefly. They were all symbols he didn't recognize, but for some reason, they seemed to have a magical power: "Could they be runes?"

"It's math."

Because of laziness, the thin book was filled with formulas, without any nonsense, and was as dense as runes.

"math?"

Li Qi turned over a page and said: "Just like here, this number is That’s a plus.”

He had previously listed the multiplication table of this world, and Thomas scholars had heard about it. After studying it, they were even more shocked, knowing that the lord of his family was knowledgeable.

It's a pity that the lord is very busy every day, otherwise he would definitely become the top and greatest scholar in the Lurea continent.

After a brief understanding, Thomas scholar's heart beat violently: "Could it be said that this book is all the accumulation of knowledge in your mind?"

Each line of characters is complex.

Li Qi did not take credit for the knowledge. Although he memorized it by rote, he did not understand it at all.

His intellectual peak was in high school, and now he only knows what dishes he likes to eat.

"I dreamed about it." He chose to tell the truth.

"You are indeed a great favored one by God!"

Thomas scholar asked: "Would you like to give this book..."

"The first volume of ninth-grade mathematics," Li Qi said, "and the second volume, which I haven't had time to bind yet."

In fact, he didn't want to take it all out at once.

"Would you like to lend me this great ninth-grade math volume?"

"Of course, my main purpose is to show him to you." Li Qi smiled: "But I hope you can make a copy for yourself. I may take it with me when I leave the Porcupine Collar."

Scholar Thomas nodded quickly: "I will, sir!"

Even if Li Qi didn't say it, he planned to secretly copy it.

After Thomas Scholar eagerly entered the ocean of knowledge, Li Qi, who was left alone, had no choice but to take the remaining books to Betty's alchemy workshop.

Betty's reaction was similar to that of Thomas Scholar. After getting the book, she studied it alone and threw it at the door very decisively.

Although the lord is a scumbag, he admires the top students.

……

Since he has to stay in the Porcupine Territory for the time being and wait for Qiang Shi's "evolution" to be completed, Li Qi still has to stay for a while.

After seeing the cornfield in his territory, Li Qi arranged for someone to bring some fresh corn back, peel it off, wash it and boil it in a pot.

At dinner, a group of people got together.

Lacey, Kuaishou, Grant, Crowe, Joe, etc.

Without the presence of the lord, of course there would not be such a sumptuous dinner in the castle.

But looking at the pot of boiled corn in the middle, the senior officials of the Porcupine Leader looked troubled.

Grant asked: "Sir, do you really want to eat this?"

"What is the problem?"

"It's for pigs."

"Feeding pigs?" Li Qi frowned: "First feed people, then feed pigs."

Lacey also said: "Of course serfs can eat it, but...how can you eat this?"

As a noble, Lacey was also aware of the informality of his lord. For example, potatoes, which many nobles despised or even banned from growing, were planted on a large scale in the Porcupine Territory.

No one would complain that the lord forced them to eat potatoes, they would only be grateful that the lord allowed them to eat enough.

But letting the serfs eat it was completely different from the lord eating it himself.

Lacey was a little anxious, and it could be seen that he was holding something back.

"There is no distinction between high and low food." Li Qi stood up, picked up a piece of corn and handed it to Lacey.

He had to accept what his loyal lord handed him, and Lacey just had to catch the corn.

Li Qi nodded with satisfaction, and then passed a corn to others one after another.

Finally, he sat down, took a bite of corn, and said, "The fruits of corn are rich, can fill your stomach, and taste sweet."

Seeing that the lord ate it, others had to eat it too.

The one with the most no taboos is Kuai Jian, he doesn't care what he eats.

It tastes really good.

"When I study a few more dishes for you to try, you will know how delicious corn is."

He had eaten a lot of good food in his dream, and the taste was firmly remembered in his mind, better than mathematics knowledge.

Lacey lowered his head and said: "Sir, you should not eat such lowly food anymore. Some nobles called you Potato Baron before, and now some people call you Shit Baron!"

This was the fundamental reason why he didn't want Li Qi to eat corn.

No one wants their loyal lord to be insulted.

"Hahaha!"

Li Qi laughed out loud: "I didn't expect them to see the essence at a glance. Fertilization is indeed the top priority!"

But except Li Qi, no one else smiled.

The atmosphere at the dinner table was strange.

Why do you attach so much importance to a reputation that has no objection at all? It's hard to lead a team.

Does farming without excrement make food nobler? No, it will only reduce food production and make food more expensive.

Li Qi put down the corn and called his name seriously: "Sir Swift Blade!"

"Yes!" Kuai Yan, who was chewing corn, stood up.

“How many people were there in Porcupine Collar two years ago?”

Quick Blade replied: "More than two hundred people!"

Li Qi looked at Grant again: "Mr. Grant, how many people were there in the Porcupine Territory last year?"

Grant stood up and replied: "Sir, there are more than six hundred people."

Li Qi finally looked at Lacey Sith: "Sir Lacey, how many people are there in the Porcupine Collar now?"

"More than six thousand seven hundred people!" Lacey replied.

After answering, he understood what Li Qi meant.

"In my territory, the population has increased 30 times in two years. No one will go hungry. Not only that, we can also deliver food to Iron Valley." Li Qi said, "I think they should change the name they call me. It shouldn’t be Baron Dung, but Baron Harvest, and by the way... now is the time to eat, don’t say such disgusting words.”

Lacey Sith lowered his head: "I'm sorry, sir!"

"Don't worry about clowns," Li Qi said: "Our population will become more and more."

Those little nobles who called themselves Barons of Dung behind their backs were just jealous of their rapid development and abundant food harvests.

They did not have the courage of Li Qi, and were unwilling to invest large sums of money, let alone feed the serfs. They would rather put the money in the basement to eat dust than play its due role.

So seeing Li Qi's territory getting better and better, he couldn't help but slander him.

They have seen the benefits of fertilizing, but they did not choose to learn Li Qi's method of fertilizing. Instead, they wanted to laugh, thinking that Li Qi should have the same miserable life as them. Without the ability to absorb new knowledge, they were destined to be just clowns. , Li Qi didn’t even think of paying attention to them.

If they really met face to face, when they saw Li Qi, they would definitely be more in awe than their own son when he saw his father.

Li Qi said: "Let's eat first. Tomorrow we will arrange for someone to open a new land and continue planting corn."
