The craftsmen, in addition to bringing their tools, brought large wooden basins that León had requested.Large wooden basins and large wooden barrels are actually valuable items in this world, of course, for ordinary people.A cooper is a specialized craftsman who has to assemble wood into a barrel, which is a technical job.Therefore, in many languages in this world, rice buckets are curses, not because rice buckets can only hold rice, but because rice buckets are all failed products made by cooper apprentices, and they can't hold water and will leak.Although the Duchy of Gretel is located south of the Muller Confederation, the upper echelons here speak the Facian language, which Leon had learned by his time in Dyrier.There are also some local dialects, which Leon and Eldi have been able to speak on the way here.These large wooden basins were used by Leon to bathe everyone.He first called the wife of Tom, the captain of the second team, and her name was Lily.It's like Leon yelling at the tenant farmers Tom!
At least a few hundred men will agree to him, and Leon will call Lily, and there will be hundreds of women who will agree to him.And it's not just the earth that gives children nicknames, these tenant farmers, and the poor people of Dyriel, they also give their children nicknames.Many families will call their children according to one, two, three, four, and wait until the child is about eight years old to give them a big name.Basically, the eldest son and eldest daughter have the same name as their parents, and the children in the back are named according to the neighbors, or furniture and utensils, or the flowers and plants on the side of the road.Lily was actually in her thirties, but she was already gray-haired, her thin face was full of wrinkles, and compared to others, Lily was just as timid, but at least she dared to tie her hair up, and her face was cleaner than the others.Master.Lily knelt on the ground, before they called the two children by the young master, but now they also know that there is no young master, only two masters.Lily, men and women will do different jobs in the future.Leon looked at her and said, So, I want you to pick a woman, and you are the captain of the first woman.Lily grabbed her skirt tightly: "What are we going to do, sir?"
Do you want a young girl?
Leon raised an eyebrow: Lily, what do you think is the reason why we killed those men?
Leon explained it to Eldy, but it seems that his explanation is also incorrect, so why take it for granted?
It's better to ask.Lily immediately fell to the ground: You, your will is everything, sir!
Don't you think these men hurt so many girls and they deserve to be punished?
Lily jerked her head up, looked at Leon with the look of a monster, and when she realized what she was doing, she lowered her head, and then fell silent, apparently not knowing how to answer the question.A small bug on the ground saw Lily's face hidden in the shadows, and it was full of disapproval.Leon sat down on the ground, cross-legged: Talk to me, you see, there is no one else around now.We have killed those who have hurt others, so why are you afraid of us?
If I don't say it, won't I be able to be the captain?
Lily bit her lip and looked up again.Her husband, Tom, is the captain of the second team, and in addition to the same rewards for their work, they also receive a reward that no one else has.In the case of the female captain, it should be the same.I need someone with courage, and if you don't have courage, you're not someone I need.And, of course, be honest.Lily trembled nervously, she was afraid of being killed for telling the truth, but she was also afraid of losing her position as captain: I have been a female branch girl, and the best seller is that the mother and daughter serve a man together.Men don't like little girls, not because of hurt, but just because little girls don't tolerate X.The word hurt is strangely pronounced in Lily's mouth, and it seems that she rarely uses the word, and may not even use it at all.We are afraid of the old man, we are afraid that the old man will kill us too.I understand.Leon nodded, this time he really understood, don't want a little girl, I want you to choose an adult woman like you, strong and able to work.The first thing you have to do is shave everyone's heads, one team at a time, and take them to the water's edge to bathe.Scrub it clean and soak in hot water.Because I don't want to see lice on people.Leon they, along the way, will scrub their bodies with cold water.But awakened people are not the same as ordinary people, and the awakened physical fitness will not be a problem even if they take a bath with cold water in the ice and snow.But ordinary people, even in such a warm environment, they are likely to get sick when they take a bath.So it's not that ordinary people don't know that a dirty body can make people uncomfortable, but taking a bath is almost the same as killing people.Don't worry about getting sick, if someone is not feeling well, you can go to the warriors, or Father Hogan.I am the one who gives you a bath, and if you get sick from bathing, I will bear the cost of treatment.Also, all the clothes that have been changed are burned, and I will also match you with two sets of clothes for each of you.Thank you for your kindness!
Master!
Go to work.Leon nodded, and Lily left happily.As soon as she left, Eldi came out from behind the tree, touched his chest, and exhaled with emotion: the stinky fish that grew up in the mud would not think that they were full of stench.The reason why they think that these people have seen too many untrustworthy lords is only part of the reason, and the reason why they really dominate is that these people have faced countless difficulties since they were born, and the kind of harm that adult men have done to their children has also been regarded as a kind of difficulty and ignored by them.Leon and Eldi killed people, which was reasonable for both of them and the soldiers in the team.As far as the tenant farmers were concerned, they could only understand that the old man had killed someone, because that kind of thing was reasonable for them, and they had experienced it themselves as children, or had seen others do it.The children who are not harmed are not pampered by their parents, but the men around them have other targets for venting.You're going to choose a warrior from these people, and you regret agreeing to me?
Of course not.Eldi glanced at Leon, clenched his fists, and just fished out the stinky fish, washed it, and put it in the water, when they knew that the water was more comfortable to swim in, and that the fish and shrimp tasted sweeter than the stinky mud, they would become a clean fish.Lily chose nine women, not just from the second team, but from several other teams.They themselves bathed under the protection of the female warriors, changed into clean clothes, and arranged their hair.Then follow the team, team by team to go to the bath.There was also some chaos in the middle, but they were all dealt with by themselves, or directly suppressed by the fighters with strong means.Then the first team of women became the first adults to live in the big house after the children, and then they began to sew quilts and bed sheets for the other tenants in the big house.During this time, the men were clearing and building houses, and other women and children were still gathering.However, the man who built the house worked very hard, and it was good.The women and children who collected were working very hard, which was good.The women who do sewing in the big house are also very hard-working, and they are still good.However, the tenant farmers who opened up the wasteland hehe.The warriors all have sharp eyes, and training as warriors is also heavy physical labor.They knew very well whether the tenant farmers were not strong enough to wield their hoes, or whether they were deliberately lazy to stop three times.Even the three team leaders who opened up the wasteland were only a little better than ordinary tenant farmers.Leon and Eldi discussed it, this situation is also very troublesome, in the end it is still a matter of trust, and has already told Jack that the team that does the best work can get the right to use the land first, they either think it is impossible, or they can't think of what they can get by getting the right to use the land.Cut their food?
Eldy thought of punishment.It's useless, right?
It's like killing the men, and the tenant farmers only see us killing.If food is cut, they won't think it's the punishment for their mistakes, they'll just see us cut their food, further undermining trust.Eldy puffed out his cheeks in anger, if he couldn't cut the food, he couldn't let people whip people, otherwise there would be no trust at all.It occurred to me that we could do this at noon, and Eldi went to the big house where the women sewed sheets and quilts: these are the sheets and quilts you sew, and these are good and good, and they are of inferior quality.From today onwards, as long as you sew enough five qualified products, you can eat in advance, and one excellent product is equal to one semi-qualified product.If you make more than five qualified products, you can get a reward, one copper coin for each qualified product, and one and a half copper coins for one excellent product.If you make more than three inferior products in one day, you will not be allowed to eat on the day!
If you make more than three inferior products for three days in a row, you will be kicked out of the sewing group!
The knights, who had gone out to hunt every day, finally had their work to inspect the sheets and quilts.If there were extra sheets and quilts, they had to transport them to the city and sell them.After Eldi made the announcement, lunch began, and the women who were able to eat it first were shocked to find that there were very few pieces of white bread, cheese, and ham in the food!
In their previous lives, they had only seen these things, and they might have smelled them from afar, but they never imagined that they would be able to eat a bite, and now their dream has come true.The women were fed, and the next batch was served coarse bread and a thick mushroom and vegetable soup.The last batch of waiting for them was only pure vegetable soup that didn't get anything.People who have eaten enough for a few days before today suddenly become hungry today, and the feeling of hunger is especially uncomfortable.In the afternoon, the collection team and the construction team also had a feeding standard.The collection group is relatively simple, divided according to the quality and weight of the collection.The quality and speed standards for the construction group are a bit cumbersome.Another day passed, and the next morning, the cultivation group also had a division standard, not only to see how much land was excavated, but also to see the depth and fineness of the cultivation.Whoever finishes it first will come out to eat first, and if no one has finished it by the certain time, then the best food will be taken and divided among the other groups for the next meal to eat.Subconscious: People take food as the sky.By October, almost everyone had lived in a large simple house, or dormitory, a long wooden house, each with about twenty bunk beds, and each person could have a small box and a chair.It's not just the tenant farmers who live in this environment, but others, including Leon and Eldi, who live in this environment as well.For the time being, there were no tenant farmers looking for trouble, because almost all of them had exhausted their physical strength in their labor, and sugar appeared in their food, and honey appeared, and milky white and delicious pastries appeared, and everyone was desperate to be able to taste it.In other countries, it seems that some knights swore allegiance to a lord not for money, but for food, and it does not seem to be rumor.Now the weather is finally starting to cool down, but it is not as cold as Dyrill City, and people can still walk outside in single clothes.Even some of the first vegetable seedlings to be planted have begun to sprout.After the dwellings, the first ones to be built were not churches or lords' mansions, but factories.I heard that in the northwest mountain range of Yarman City, there are several mountains, and the mountains are full of wild cotton, many of which are natural colored cotton, and every year the local people will organize people to pick cotton.But the people of the Duchy of Gretel were lazy, and the organizers did not pay much, and more cotton was picked and more was rotted in the ground.Leon and Eldi arrived just in time for the cotton harvest.In addition, the cotton harvest was caught up with the merchants who came to scream the spice auction, some of whom came to eat, drink and have fun, and some of whom did not want to waste a little time and began to look for business opportunities in the local area, and the latter found colored cotton.The cotton cloth spun from colored cotton is not as gorgeous as the cotton dyed by dye, but there is another beauty, and the advantage of this cotton cloth is that it does not fade.However, the cost of transporting cotton peaches out is huge, after all, the transportation in this place is not an ordinary inconvenience.Therefore, at least it should be spun into thread, or woven into cloth, it is best to even make clothes, this kind of cloth can not be sold at the high level, and it should be timely middle class, as well as a small number of low yields, so it is best to sell ready-to-wear garments.At that time, Leon had the extra sheets and quilts, as well as some pillowcases, curtains and ready-to-wear clothes pulled over to the city to sell.He was buying fabric, and the clothes he was wearing were old clothes he bought from thrift stores.Prior to this, Alman City also had ready-to-wear stores, but they were all small.The goods pulled out by Hope Village are all real materials and cheap enough, which has attracted many customers.But after all, this is a small city, and the demand is not large.It only attracted these merchants, including the Mo Duosu who threw away 30,000 gold coins for nothing.The location of Hope Village is really good, as long as you drive a road to the southwest of the village for about three or four hours, you can reach the edge of a large lake, which is a deep lake, and you can transport a large number of goods by waterway from the lake.Although the waterway is not very safe, there are water monsters and the like, but it is also several times stronger than the land route.The road to the lake had been opened, and another group of people had built a port by the lake, which was paid for by the merchants.After the completion of the port, the first batch of goods has also been booked, leaving the port is the clothing sold in Xiwang Village, and the port is the energy stone loom purchased by Leon, and the factory building is now for the textile machine.This year, the cotton peaches in Yarman City were also picked very carefully, because it was not only the local merchants who bought the peaches, but also the purchase price tripled compared to previous years.Passing through the streets of the city, you can see many men, women and children picking the seeds in the cotton peach in the sun and drying it by hand.Of course, there are still many people who don't do anything and lie lazily on the ground.But everyone in the Duchy of Gretel is lazy, and now it seems that it is not necessarily whether we should grow cotton or not?
Food can be bought, and there is no food in this place and there is no food.Eldy was a little impressed.The warehouse in Hope Village is already full of baskets full of cotton, and there are some small black bugs crawling around in it, as long as they are dried and processed again, the little bugs don't matter.If this business can be continued, cotton will bring great value to them.In fact, he didn't just think about it, there were already people around Yarman City who were already planting cotton.In the climate of Yarman City, peaches can bear fruit twice once in a while, and although it is not the season to grow cotton, if you plant it, maybe you will harvest it?
Anyway, it must be more than food.No, we can grow some of the land next year to grow cotton, but this year we have to grow all the food according to the plan!
Cotton can be bought, we just earn a little less.Although you can buy food, it is tantamount to giving your own throat to someone else.Eating wild fruits and grilled meat gives you a completely different feeling than nibbling bread.Leon immediately refused.Not only because of the reason for saying it, but also because the matter of saving food seems to have become an instinct of Leon.It didn't matter when it was just him and Eldy, the two of them could always have food, but when they became a big family, Leon's need for food suddenly became urgent.Chapter 97 Leon's excitement surprised even Eldy, and he thought for a moment: Okay, listen to you.Afterwards, Eldi went to Mombe and asked for the weather records for Yarman City.The Church of the God of Nature has a record from the day the church was completed until the church was destroyed for some reason.It turned out that more than 50 years ago, the city of Yarman experienced a major drought, then a pest plague, and then a flood, and the disaster continued for eight years.Because of the climate, the local people have little habit of storing food.If it weren't for the church's help, almost this city, which was not fought in the first place, would have disappeared from the map at that time.Eldi said to Leon again because of this incident: Your decision is right, we should grow our own food and have our own food stockpile.At the same time, Hope Village began to hire female workers from Yarman City, and almost no one applied for Leon to secretly use points.
Isn't it good to become human, mingle with the locals, and observe their reaction to hiring?
The factory is also well paid, so why doesn't anyone go?
