"I have this feeling that ancient times are getting closer and closer to us, and modern times are getting further and further away from us."

——Feng Yan Crazy Talk

......

Late at night, the guest bedroom on the second floor of the castle.

Li Jiashu woke up from the extended wooden bed, his forehead covered in cold sweat.

Will the devil have nightmares?

This question can be extended,

Will a bad guy have nightmares?

Will a good person who is like a sage have nightmares?

In short, the day is thoughtful and the night is dreaming. The tired devil has just experienced a nightmare.

No, to be precise, it is a number of absurd nightmare.

Li Jiashu dreamed that he led an excavation team to unearth the laboratory of alien creatures from the underground, reverse engineering to crack it, and transformed the biotechnology of Xia Gai Demon Worm, brainwashed all the humans on the island in the form of biological parasites, and turned into a "worm swarm" that completely obeyed himself.

Then, in just 6 months, the bugs rebuilt the castle under their command.

He returned to the Nine Prisons and was awarded the devil title of "Jade Sect".

In dreams, it is normal to rewind movies.

Li Jiashu dreamed again that he extracted his devil's blood, combined with the alchemy of this world, diluted, and refined enhancement potion, allowing adult men on the island to take it and strengthen their bodies. He then widely promoted colonial theory and cooperated with the pirates to allow adult men on the island to participate in slave hunting activities in the north. Not only did the castle obtain a continuous stream of new slaves, but the leaders on the island were also assigned to slaves from all households.

Then, in just 9 months, under his supervisor, only a few hundred Madame Slay slaves died, and the castle was rebuilt.

He returned to the Nine Prisons and was awarded the devil title of "Blood Whip Supervisor".

Nightmare is absurd, and it is possible to dream of anything.

Li Jiashu dreamed again that he participated in the invasion war launched by the Kingdom of Siga against the Kingdom of France and Portuguese through his extraordinary ability - the "Deal Poison" given by Grand Duke Ad, and used his extraordinary ability to and the devil's trick. Within half a year, he assisted the noble coalition forces in Siga to conquer cities and occupy a large area of ​​the Kingdom of France and Portuguese.

The Sigali royal court was very happy and rewarded Li Jiashu with a large amount of wealth and craftsmen. Then, taking into account the length of the war, the dilapidated castle on the island was rebuilt in just 18 months.

He returned to Nine Prisons and was awarded the devil title of "Classic Villain".

Another most bizarre nightmare is:

Li Jiashu dreamed of...

He relied on his knowledge in his previous life, combined with the alchemy of this world, and replicated it, and the magic changed a new set of "paper making techniques".

Under his command and arrangement, the leaders of the island began to build [paper mill], and at the same time began to [cut down trees] with extremely high efficiency, using the island's forest resources to produce "high-end paper", continuously exporting them to the outside world, and continuously obtaining a large amount of trade income from Spain, France, Portuguese, and Sarasen.

Then, 9 points of the profit will be given to the castle and 1 point of the profit will be given to the people.

The island's civilians used this 1-point income to live a 'good life' - compared with the past, it was indeed a 'relatively good life' - although some people were "refreshed" about this, they could not rebel under the control of the devil.

The castle used these 9 points of income to introduce a large number of craftsmen and contractual labor from outside the island. Under the command of Li Jiashu, the construction of the castle was easily completed in 24 months.

I returned to the Nine Prisons and was awarded the devil title of "What, are you not convinced?"

After the nightmare was done here, Li Jiashu was awakened by fear.

There is something to think about the day and dream about the night.

"mmp, what kind of devilish dreams, the extreme thinking that efficiency is paralyzed..."

He took out a copper pot from the cabinet in the guest room, and the three poisonous snakes transformed into his palm spit out a trace of flames, heating the cold water in the pot.

Soon, a rolling hot fog overflowed between the gaps in the lid of the copper pot.

Washing his face with hot water, then Li Jiashu leaned against the window and looked at the quiet village at midnight from afar, the scattered harbor town, and the undulating storm ocean.

In a sense, the previous nightmare was indeed some of Li Jiashu's subconscious thoughts.

I told Chuyang at that time that the reconstruction of the castle would be completed in three years, but it was actually estimated in a conservative direction.

This world is a pre-modern world.

There are significant differences between pre-modern morality and post-modern morality.

If Li Jiashu is willing to completely abandon his moral burden and adopt the general policy of "efficiency first", the employer's task will naturally be completed quickly.

But, he refused!

Qualified workers should learn appropriate fishing skills!

Li Jiashu suddenly figured it out!

"We are all in the gutter, but there are still people looking up at the stars."

His gaze moved upward from the chaotic and depressing sea, looking at the dazzling exotic starry sky from afar.

Maybe the world is fucking, fate is chaotic, ideal is painful,

Only slutty fishing is eternal.

Let those who work are the job, and those who stumble fish are the fish.

Li Jiashu felt that he could take a break from his busy schedule and have some hobbies to relax.

For example - digging a grave!

......

The next day, early morning.

"Chuyang, I've decided."

"You said?"

At the long table in the restaurant, the devil said to the lord while spreading butter, sugar, and matsutake sauce on sliced ​​white bread.

Although Li Jiashu used to go to the construction site for breakfast and lunch, and ate the same big pot rice as the Sreve workers to keep in mind his butt position. But occasionally, he would come to Chuyang for a free meal and experience the differences between classes.

(Supplement: After the collective canteen was built, Sreve workers finally didn't need to squat on the open-air ground to have a meal)

Chu Yang sat in the main seat of the long table, wiped away the honey stains from the corner of his mouth with a napkin, and looked at the devil in surprise.

The young lord felt that the devil today seemed to be a little bit, um, happy?

"Ah, Chuyang, didn't you report to me yesterday that those adventurers found another entrance on the island, suspected to be the underground ruins of ancient paganism? And brought back a spoil?"

Li Jiashu asked.

Chu Yang nodded, "Yes, Alcadio's trophy, yesterday he showed me...well, a huge cockroach frozen in ice."

Looking back on the "big cockroach that was tall by one person.jpg" that the noble young man showed him yesterday afternoon, Chu Yang couldn't help but have a headache.

What messy things are buried under the land of my own territory!

The ancestor of the family is probably really an extremely evil alchemist, otherwise he would not have specially chosen to build the family castle on this island.

The devil rubbed his hands, looking very excited, and said:

"The underground remains related to biological mutations are likely to be laboratories or factories of alien bugs, hehehe."

Chu Yang: "?"

The devil took a deep breath and calmed down his emotions.

Then, he said seriously: "Chuyang, I decided to have 4 days off on the construction site. Well, it's not a holiday, it's really a holiday."

"In addition to maintaining the operation of the collective canteen, the leaders who come to work will be suspended for four days, and the workers in Sreve will have four days off."

"Oh, it can't be considered a holiday for all members."

Chuyang was confused at this time.

The devil gestured, "I will pick a group of experienced people. The number of people is not large, so it is better to control it to about 20 people. Well, the kind that volunteers to work overtime."

"Plus that adventurer."

"I'll take them to pour...diggle the grave!"

"Strength does not distinguish between good and evil. Since the treasures of the demons outside the domain are here, they are destined to be with us!"

Chu Yang: "???"
Chapter completed!
