A wooden house, which was much larger than other houses, was slowly built. Almost all the able-bodied men in the entire territory joined the team to build the wooden house, while the women had to stay on their own land to cultivate and water the land.

Almost all the men on the top of the mountain were shirtless, and they were either cutting wood or removing the stubble from logs.

Kane didn't rest either, he joined the working team.

When he was a slave, he felt only pain while working, and his mind was full of hatred.

But perhaps it is because the labor now is his own choice, so he only feels satisfied now. Labor makes him feel happy for the first time.

The construction of the wooden house was not difficult. With the concerted efforts of so many people, in less than two weeks, a rare large wooden house was finally built on the top of the mountain.

Kane started to lead his people to make "shelves" again. Since they had no steel, they could only use wood.

Since there were no nails, Ye Zhou also provided them with drawings for making the wooden frame with mortise and tenon structure.

The civilians were illiterate and could only speak from pictures. Compared to building a wooden house, the mortise and tenon wooden frames required higher levels of precision and took them more time. After wasting countless amounts of wood, the supermarket branch finally took shape.

Compared to a real supermarket, this wooden house is more like a grocery store from the 1980s, or even worse.

Without adhesive, the wooden house has gaps that allow air to leak in, but the roof is woven very tightly. I don’t know how many layers of local leaves used to make roofs are laid. As long as it is not a heavy rainstorm, it can withstand small hail.

After Kane set up the branch, Ye Zhou brought the goods and the simple cash register purchased from the system.

This cash register is different from the one in Ye Zhou Supermarket. It does not need to be connected to a power source and is driven by a light source. It can be used as long as there is light, and it can also call on stored energy when there is no light.

Of course, the price is not cheap, and this cheap energy is only used by business-related products in the system.

The system prefers to sell consumables that need to be constantly updated and replaced, and will only be a little generous when it comes to "making money".

Ye Zhou still did not appear in front of everyone. He sneaked into the "supermarket" late at night and asked Sarah to call Kane to him.

The servants in the stone house have now abandoned it and moved to the wooden house on the mountain. Now the top of the mountain is more like a town than the bottom of the mountain. After building the supermarket, the civilians at the bottom of the mountain began to build houses for their own homes. When building houses, they would subconsciously leave pedestrian passages and keep a certain distance.

They had already created the prototype of a town on their own without even needing Kane to manage it.

If it weren't for the difficulty in reclaiming wasteland on the mountain and the limited land, almost all the civilians living below the mountain would have crowded up.

But this won't take long. Once there are enough tools and the land can be reclaimed more easily, the civilians living at the foot of the mountain will probably move up directly - they have all started to take up space and build houses.

This time when Ye Zhou came, he also brought Kane some information about composting - because the branch store cannot sell things that are out of date, so the only things that can be bought and sold here are probably agricultural products, meat and grains, but pesticides and fertilizers probably cannot be sold, so they can only rely on traditional methods.

The people here haven't learned to use farm manure yet, and their excretion basically goes to the woods, away from their own land.

Because they considered excrement to be unclean and something that would affect the land's output.

Kane took the information from Ye Zhou. He held the pages of paper as if they were priceless treasures and asked carefully, "Sir, are you leaving?"

Ye Zhou nodded: "I will tell you how to use these things later. I will leave after you learn them."

The system has unlocked the next two planes, and Ye Zhou has also chosen the next plane. He does not plan to stay here any longer.

It is better to teach people how to fish than to give them fish. He has already given the people here enough to survive. It is not his business to ask what happens next.

A person's destiny depends on himself.

There is not much that external forces can do.

"You have to be careful." Ye Zhou said to Kane, "You have to know how precious the things in your hands are. If someone finds out, you might get into trouble. Without me, not many people will be afraid."

People may be afraid of the existence of the Moon Goddess at the beginning, but when some time passes, people find that the Moon Goddess has not appeared. If they try to do something to Kane again and find that there will be no consequences, it is hard to say what they will do in the end.

Ye Zhou: "I will leave you ten pistols, six machine guns and four rifles."

"How you use it and who you give it to is up to you."

Kane knew what a gun was. He had seen Chen Shu shoot birds with a gun.

Kane opened his mouth, wanting to say something but stopping himself. He didn't know what to say at this moment. He didn't want Lord Moon God to leave. Once she left, his backbone would be gone. He didn't know if he could complete the task assigned to him by Lord Moon God.

"You don't have to worry too much." Ye Zhou comforted him, "The roads here are blocked, and everything is basically self-contained. As long as there are no rats coming in or out, no one should notice the situation here in the short term."

"Even if you are discovered, you still have your noble status to protect you."

Although Ryan is only a viscount, in this country where there are not many nobles and illiteracy is everywhere, the status of viscount is already very noble.

"And Kurt." Ye Zhou, "You have to keep an eye on him and be careful of him. He is very useful, but he also has a lot on his mind."

"When you feel like you can no longer control him, don't hesitate."

Ye Zhou looked at the swirl above Kane's head and said, "If you do as I say, you may still be alive when I come next time."

Ye Zhou: "Now that you are in this position, you cannot hesitate at all."

Kane immediately said, "I know, sir."

Ye Zhou walked to Kane, patted Kane on the shoulder, and slowed down his voice: "Come here, I will teach you how to use these things."

Kane clenched his hands into fists at his sides, pursed his lips, and his eyes turned red involuntarily. He sniffed and tried hard not to cry.

Ye Zhou placed all the goods in a dimensional box, and he would put them out when he was ready to leave.

It took him two hours to teach Kane how to use the cash register.

Kane was not a fast learner, and he could not quickly convert Arabic numerals into Roman numerals in his mind. Ye Zhou could only debug the machine and change the displayed numbers into Roman numerals. There was nothing else that needed to be changed.

While he was teaching Kane, Zou Ming went to the warehouse with boxes and put the goods brought by Ye Zhou into the warehouse.

After teaching Kane, Ye Zhou took Kane to the warehouse. Before Kane built a branch, Ye Zhou reminded him to leave a piece of land for building a warehouse, and the door of the warehouse had to be stronger than the door of a supermarket.

Kane did build a warehouse according to Ye Zhou's requirements, but it was more like a cellar than a warehouse.

Perhaps because there were not enough people to build a sturdy warehouse at the same time as the supermarket branch, they took another approach and dug a huge cellar. The cellar was supported by logs that served as pillars, and the cellar door was made of the thickest wooden boards.

In this era, the only door that could be safer than this wooden cellar door is probably a stone door.

The goods Ye Zhou brought basically filled up the place. Most of them were daily necessities, such as pottery jars and basins purchased from the system at low prices, which would not expire or mold like food. Probably because there was no clay suitable for making pottery jars in this land, so the price of these things was low in the system, but very high here.

At least in one civilian family, the most valuable thing should be the pottery jar.

However, clay pots are easily damaged, so most families use broken clay pots because they have no money to replace them with new ones.

When Kane and Ye Zhou walked into the cellar together, they saw these things that were priceless to the local civilians in the dim light.

Seeds, pottery jars and various farm tools.

There were also dozens of bags of bacon jerky.

Kane had seen more magical and luxurious things in the real "temple", so he didn't seem too surprised.

But he knew in his heart that compared to the fine wine and holy grail in the "temple", these seeds and farm tools were what the people here really needed.

Ye Zhou: "You need to train your own people and teach them to read. Even if they can't write, they must be able to read."

Among the several planes Ye Zhou had visited, except for the Luoyang Base, the Daliang Dynasty and here were all full of illiterate people.

For people like Cao'er Niang and Zhou Wen, learning knowledge is like their life. But in fact, they are not stupid. Whether it is farming, working, or how to use things in the supermarket, they can learn it quickly.

Only being able to read and write and writing one's own name can be considered outstanding.

They are resistant to learning knowledge in their hearts, and Ye Zhou doesn't know why, but the only thing to be thankful for is that the children's learning ability is no worse than that of modern children.

However, whether Cao'er's mother and the others are literate or not has little impact on Ye Zhou.

But whether Kane can train people who can read and write is very important.

The only literate people here are the servants and butlers around Ryan. Although these people are following Kane now, no one knows what they are thinking. It is best not to use them when you can use people you have trained yourself.

Kane said softly, "I know, Master Moon God, I will remember everything you said."

Ye Zhou looked at Kane.

Kane has shed his once panicky shell and no longer looks like a teenager, but now is a calm, adult man.

Ye Zhou smiled at Kane and said, "Please be careful."

Before leaving, Ye Zhou patted Kane's shoulder again.

Strictly speaking, Kane has just reached adulthood in modern times.

But Ye Zhou had no better choice, and neither did Kane.

Ye Zhou walked up the stairs leading to the cellar. On the stairs, Zou Ming had already stretched out his hand.

·

Kurt killed three horses along the way, and he finally thought of a way to persuade Claire to go back.

But before he could do anything, Claire died in a bloody fight among the nobles on the way back to the city.

It was common for nobles from the two territories to clash, simply because of something like water sources, and it was rare for people to be killed in a fight - slaves' lives were not counted, and no one knew that Claire would be so unlucky. He didn't even participate in the fight, but his head was cracked by a stone flying from the sky.

No one knew which strong man threw the stone, and it hit Claire before it hit anyone else.

Claire died so hastily that she didn't even leave a single last word.

After confirming Claire's death, Kurt didn't care about what happened after his death. He just said a few words to the Knight Commander and ran away on his horse.

It wasn't like he was really planning on going to Claire's territory.

Now that Clare is dead, his sons still have a fight to make.

After all, he has a lot of illegitimate children.

It's just that Claire died too easily, so easily that Kurt even thought it was the Moon God in heaven who did it.

The reason why Claire went back was also because of the issue of heirs. Kurt told him to go back and decide on an heir. After all, he would be staying in Ryan's territory for a long time. Even though Kane was the nominal lord, Claire was the de facto ruler.

This made sense, and Claire quickly agreed - he had six sons, not including his illegitimate children.

Although the eldest son is the successor, Claire does not like her eldest son. She thinks that he is not like herself and is a fool who has become stupid because of reading too much.

He liked his youngest son more than his eldest son. His youngest son never did any serious work and his favorite thing was hunting. He had many "preys", but among all the preys, his favorite were young slaves.

It is challenging but not impossible to catch, so it is a "high-quality prey".

Claire thinks that her youngest son is most like her. When Kurt heard this, he thought Claire was mentally ill, because his youngest son's hobbies were not really advantages. But Claire believed that his youngest son was braver than his eldest son and had a pioneering spirit, and might make the family more glorious in the future.

So Claire quickly asked the Knights to pack up and set off back immediately.

After all, his eldest son and youngest son were both born in wedlock. If he wanted to promote his youngest son, he had to find a way to make something happen to his eldest son.

Claire had no fatherly love for her five sons, except for her youngest.

Only the youngest son could be considered as someone he had raised; the first five sons were like sheep on the grassland, and had to be raised by grazing.

Although Kurt felt that he was a liar, this was the first time he had met someone like Claire who didn't even care about her own son.

So when Claire fell off her horse and died without saying a word, Kurt even thought that it might be because Lord Moon couldn't bear to watch it anymore.

The knights could only carry Claire's body back.

The weather is hot now, and the knights will probably suffer for a long time.

If they brought the corpse back, the smell of decay would always linger in their noses.

It took Kurt nearly a month to travel back and forth to return to Ryan's territory. When he arrived at his destination, he looked no different from a beggar. Because he had no time to bleach or dye his hair and beard, his black hair and beard had grown back.

So much so that when Kane saw him, he didn't even recognize who the thin middle-aged man in front of him was.

"Mister Moon God has left?" Kurt's eyes widened. He walked up to Kane and grabbed Kane's wrist with all his strength. However, he remembered the other party's identity as a divine messenger and did not dare to be too rude. "When will the Lord Moon God come again?"

He thought he just missed the coming of the Moon Goddess.

Kane shook his head slightly: "I don't know."

Before leaving, Lord Moon Goddess told him that if he couldn't lie, he shouldn't lie.

There are two prerequisites for lying: one is not being exposed, and the other is not being afraid even if being exposed.

If he can't satisfy either of these two, then he should tell the truth.

Kurt didn't look at the village that appeared on the top of the mountain, nor did he look at the huge supermarket. His mind was full of thoughts about what he should do after the Moon Goddess left.

He doesn't know how to farm or do any work. He has been a liar for half his life. Asking him to support himself through labor is like asking a porcupine to learn from a lion. He will never do it.

He knows exactly how to harm others, but he has no idea how to make people work.

Kane looked at him calmly. Behind Kane was a large tract of farmland. In the farmland, farmers were bending over to work.

"Lord Moon Goddess told me about your arrangements."

Kurt finally regained his sanity and composure. He released his grip on Kane's arm and bowed his head respectfully once again.

Kane: "You can stay here, but you have to be like them, put your feet into the soil, grow food with your own hands, and devote your whole life to the Moon God. After you die, the Moon God will come to take you to the temple personally."

Kurt couldn't help but look up, he looked at Kane in surprise.

Kane: "Our food, our clothes, everything comes from this land."

Kane looked toward the horizon, where his god was. He looked at the clouds blocking the sunlight with a nostalgic gaze and whispered, "Lord Moon God hopes to see a new world."

“One day, He will see.”

Kurt opened his mouth several times, but this was the will of Lord Moon God, so he could only close his mouth and lower his head helplessly.

Kane: "If you want to leave, I won't stop you. You can leave anytime."

However, Kurt did not ask to leave as Kane thought.

He just said calmly: "I will obey the will of Lord Moon God."

It was true that he had never worked and did not want to work, but the thought of being personally taken to the temple by Lord Moon God after his death was too tempting.

What's more, before coming here, he had never found a place where he could stay for a long time.

Rather than wandering around again and relying on luck to cheat the nobles, it is better to stay here.

Changing the way of life...maybe it's not a bad thing.

Kane smiled and said, "Go take a shower and rest for two days. We will build a waterwheel in a while, so that we don't have to carry water again and again to irrigate the farmland in the future."

After watching Kurt leave, Kane recalled what Lord Moon God really planned for Kurt.

Lord Moon Goddess told him that Kurt was a useful person and he was very useful. He was smart, although he did not use his intelligence in the right way. He also had no sense of morality. As long as he was given a job that he thought was beneficial, he would do it without hesitation, even if it meant killing people.

But such people are good for him.

But if one day, Kurt does more harm than good...

Kane took a deep breath.

He couldn't let down Lady Moon God's expectations of him, and couldn't let these civilians become slaves again. No matter how difficult what he had to do was, he would continue along this path.

Until the end of life.

After leaving some things for Kane, Ye Zhou took Zou Ming and the others back to the supermarket.

In addition to the cash register, there is also an intercom, which can directly contact Ye Zhou.

Like a cash register, this intercom also uses a light source and can be used as long as there is light, whether it is sunlight or fire.

The guns and ammunition were also handed over to Kane. He did teach Kane how to use them, but as to whether he could use them well, it depended on whether he had the talent or whether he had time to practice.

"You didn't even confiscate a single employee here." Sarah asked Ye Zhou on the way, "Don't you feel sorry for them?"

Ye Zhou was puzzled. When did he ever hire someone out of pity for the other person?

He could only say to Sarah: "I think the current staff is barely enough, and even if it is not enough, it is very troublesome to hire people here."

"Although Cao'er and the others are also illiterate, at least the culture of their plane is similar to my original plane, so communication is simple and convenient."

“It’s totally different here.”

"Besides, even if I want a European face, you are enough."

A smile instantly appeared on Sarah's face: "Yes, I am enough."

She glanced at Zou Ming and found that he didn't react. She emphasized again: "I am enough."

This time Zou Ming did react, but it was different from what Sarah had imagined. Zou Ming glanced at her and a smile appeared on his usually expressionless face.

But that smile was so ironic and annoying to Sarah that she wanted to pounce on Zou Ming and bite him to death.

But she held back.

I have to be merciful. It didn't kill it before, and the chance of it being killed now is not high.

Ye Zhou: "In the next dimension, I plan to go to Chen State."

The two planes that appeared this time were the State of Chen and the Cobul Empire.

This time, in addition to giving him a name, the system also gave him two pieces of text information, allowing him to have a general understanding of the destination before making the time and space jump.

Ye Zhou was even a little moved.

He felt that he was being manipulated by the system.

After being exploited by the system for a long time, Ye Zhou felt that the system giving him the information was a great favor.

The era in which the State of Chen existed was similar to the Warring States Period. It was the last one among the vassal states. Its earliest marquis, that is, the ruler, was the king's groom. After the king successfully founded the country, he was allocated a small piece of land and was promoted from a groom to a marquis.

The State of Chen was not poor. On the contrary, it was very wealthy and ranked among the top three among the vassal states.

During the farming era, the land of Chen State was very suitable for farming, and 96 percent of the people in the country were farmers.

But the tragic thing is that it is rich, small, and has limited military power, and cannot compete with the big countries in terms of manpower and combat effectiveness.

Therefore, it is very good at dancing among the major powers, flattering them everywhere, and giving food to whoever asks for it.

In short, the State of Chen was rich, but also poor.

Originally, Ye Zhou didn't want to go to Chen State, a country that could be attacked at any time. He was afraid that Chen State would be attacked if he went there.

But after seeing the information about the Cobul Empire, he quickly decided to go to the State of Chen.

The Cobul Empire is an abbreviation, its full name is: Cobul Salakala Wenli Elf Empire.

Its social background is similar to that of Middle-earth, with magic that Ye Zhou has always been curious about, and other races - such as humans, dwarves, tree people, and so on.

But according to the information, the Elf Empire is at war.

To be precise, it is resistance.

They were fighting wizards.

One was suspected of being beaten, and the other was fighting. Ye Zhou spent a second weighing the pros and cons and decided to go for the one who was suspected of being beaten.

At least the fight hasn't started yet.
