Age of Empires From Scratch

  Chapter 74 The increasingly bustling Winter Village

   "Do you have experience in managing a battalion?" David looked at Sharon Rogers, the daughter of Captain America and Agent Carter. Maybe she had not only received relevant training, but even had actual experience early on?

   "Hahaha!" Sharon smiled triumphantly, and then said simply and neatly: "No!"

   "..."

Sharon is only in her early twenties, and she would be at the age of not graduating from college on earth. She can complete courses including hot weapons, cold weapons, hand-to-hand combat, tactical command, special operations concepts, etc., as well as what normal people need to learn All kinds of knowledge are already very powerful, even if she wants to experience what it's like to actually command an army, she doesn't have the spare time.

  According to Sharon's future plan, she will participate in several actual battles in the future. If she performs well, she will officially take over the title of her father and become the new generation of Captain America.

  If the performance is average... She hasn't considered this situation, as the daughter of Steve Rogers, she can't be average!

"Let Eva help you. She used to do clerical, intelligence and liaison work in the army. She is better at these trivial things than you." Peggy looked at her daughter in another world and opened the door unreliably. After a few jokes, he gave his own suggestion: "The current situation in the village is similar to that of the army."

   "It's a good idea." David glanced at Eva. He had thought before that he would have a headache with all kinds of paperwork when the population of the village increased, so he sent a clerical worker to his door. Does Cheat have a certain screening function? "What do you think, Eva?"

   "No problem at all, sir." After a habitual answer, Eva realized that this is not an allied army, so she wanted to change her words: "I mean, the village chief...or the lord?"

Don't look at Eva's height, long legs, protruding front and back, but she always looks cute. When she smiles, she looks like a fool. At this time, her face is full of doubts, which really makes people doubt her ability to work—the Allied Forces will not Was it because of this that he was defeated?

   "Just call me David, the village chief feels weird, and I'm not a real lord." David briefly said about his situation: "Not yet!"

David's goal has always been very clear, and he casually expressed some of his thoughts: It's not counting now. When four hundred newcomers arrive, the whole village will be rebuilt, and the village will be successfully upgraded to Cold Winter Town. At that time, he will Can obtain the identity of the lord.

   "At that time, will you still get a knighthood?" David continued to write in his notebook, while chatting with the three women sitting in front of him, and broadened his mind by the way: "Normally, yes."

"The Baron?" Sharon was very curious about these things, which may have something to do with her living environment—people in the United States despised all kinds of "feudal customs" in Europe, and at the same time looked highly at the "nobles". . Sharon grew up in this environment, it is normal for her to be curious about these things.

   "Hope!"

  Theoretically, a knight can also be sealed off. Although it would seem a bit 'strange' for a knight to manage a town, considering that it is a remote town in a remote area, everyone will not think it is a big deal.

  Even if Rinwinter Town is successfully established, it will not become an important town in the Kingdom of Tilan because of its geographical location. There is no need for a "big man" to sit in the town, and David is dismissed as a knight. From a legal point of view, there is no problem.

"Do you think there is anything missing besides bedding and daily necessities for washing and eating?" David wrote for a while, looking at the contents recorded in the notebook. After reading it out, ask the women on the opposite side.

"I think that after the construction of those big wooden houses, there is no need to spend time building beds, you can buy bunk beds directly, so that each big house can accommodate more people." Eva looked Peggy and Sharon next to each other, after a day of familiarization, they are quite familiar, and they know that they are giving themselves a chance to express themselves: "This kind of thing should be easy to buy, right? If it is a detachable metal tube structure, It's not too difficult to transport."

   "Good idea!" David didn't think about it at all. He only thought about building more wooden houses. If he chose to buy a double bed, it would take only half the time planned to arrange all the craftsmen.

   "If you can, you can buy some radiators." Compared with the log cabins, the main building in Cold Winter Village, the heating of the big log cabins is a bit more troublesome. If you build a fireplace in a small log cabin, the temperature of the entire log cabin will be very high when the fire is lit; it is not possible in a large log cabin, because the space is too large and empty, and the fireplace alone cannot ensure sufficient indoor temperature.

  If you can install enough radiators in the house, you can ensure the temperature of the whole house.

"Almost forgot about this." David slapped himself **** the forehead. He actually forgot this kind of winter artifact. Always stuck in one train of thought: "Thanks to you, Eva, it really helped a lot."

  Looking at the list of radiators, bunk beds (metal tube splicing structure), quilts, daily necessities, etc. recorded in the notebook, he knew that the next thing he needed to do was to rely on Laura to show his money-making ability and purchase all these materials.

  Read the list again, discussed with Eva and Peggy a few more words, and after confirming the approximate amount is enough, David finally closed his notebook.

  David, who had finished the necessary work, was also in the mood to chat some gossip: "Where's Steve? I don't seem to see him today."

   "Steve said that he may be busy with some things recently, and he may not come here every day." Regarding Steve, it is correct to ask Peggy, while Eva took the opportunity to ask who is Steve?

   "Steve Rogers, also a super soldier..."

   "It seems that there are many people in the village that I haven't met yet." After listening to Peggy's brief introduction to Steve, Eva became interested in other people in the village.

   So far she has only seen Laura, Mark, Peggy, Sharon and Jonah, and has not seen anyone else.

  As a result, just as Eva finished speaking, a 'group of figures' appeared in the open space not far away, and then Fording brought Van Cleef and the craftsmen of the Stonemasons Union over.

"This is Tirion Fordring." David pointed to the middle-aged man with the most prominent physique and introduced: "The one next to him with a red kerchief around his neck is Edwin Van Cleef, and the others should be craftsmen. …Oh, you and them are not communicating yet, you both speak completely different languages."

   Speaking of this, David reminded Eva by the way: "Remember to ask me for a copy of English learning materials for local lingua franca."

"OK."

Get up to welcome the new craftsmen, and then, together with Van Cleef, take them to the newly built big wooden house to resettle - it is not completely built, but it can barely live in, the craftsmen came in advance, just to finish it as soon as possible Construction work of a wooden house.

While introducing the small village of Cold Winter to several craftsmen, David explained his ideas and some plans: For example, these two wooden houses are only temporary residences, and then they will give priority to building all craftsmen and their families, which are completely personal As for the construction work of Cold Winter Town, we will wait for everyone to adapt to the life here.

During the conversation, Fording 'shipped' more craftsmen, and then David took many craftsmen to the cafeteria, and Jonah made a sumptuous dinner for everyone, and asked these craftsmen what they had need.

  The small book was opened again, and it kept recording according to the requirements of the craftsmen—because they only brought their belongings to move, and the craftsmen needed to buy various tools to start working.

   In addition, the craftsmen hardly mentioned their personal needs. They felt that having a place to live and being able to eat enough was enough for now.

   "I have written it all down, and I will solve these problems for everyone in the fastest time."

   When he chatted with the craftsmen for a meal, and sent them to the big wooden house to rest and leave, David found that Leonard had actually come.

David took a closer look and found that Leonard had brought those friends over. One of them was a tall, thin man with a bright smile on his face and circled around Fording, completely ignoring the few people beside him, including Laura. women.

Instead, one of the blond women was sitting with Laura and the others, looking at the tall and thin man who seemed very excited, talking in a low voice. At the same time, there was an Indian standing next to a thin Jewish man, who seemed to be chatting What... well, the Indian didn't speak, just gestured.

David took a look, and the main characters from the original Big Bang Theory were here: the lanky theoretical physicist Sheldon Cooper, the blonde waitress and part-time street-crawler Penny, the Indian astrophysicist scientist Rajesh Kusapari and Jewish engineer Howard Wolowitz.

   "Hello, Leonard!"

"Hi, David." Leonard greeted enthusiastically after turning his head to see David. He was very proud of being able to bring his friends to visit this magical place, and he finally saw the legendary mention Leo Fording: "Thank you for letting me bring my friends over."

   "You're welcome, it seems that your friends... like this place very much." After taking a look, he immediately retracted his gaze, ignoring Fording's helpless eyes: "Introduce me to your friends!"

   "Oh, of course, this is Penny!"

Just as Leonard finished speaking, the blond woman named Petunia stood in front of David and quickly straightened her hair: "Hi~ I'm Petunia, are you the village chief here? It's completely different from what I imagined. Same!"

  Looking at the enthusiastic Penny, David felt that the eyes of Eva, Peggy, Sharon, Laura, Leonard, Howard, and Rajesh all focused on him in an instant.
