How can the gap be small
The earth watching channel is full of sympathy for Baron Ackford—or sarcasm:
"You can deliberately select a group of smart people, but it's a pity that Wu Qingchen can deliberately explain it more complicatedly, so that the so-called smart people fall into the devil of details. [Zero ↑ Nine △ Novels ↓ Shuo △ Net]"
"You can watch the whole process, but it's a pity that Wu Qingchen just took the opportunity to mislead... Hehe, unexpectedly, the three beehives that Wu Qingchen specially selected for his own people to demonstrate are all the most difficult types of transplantation."
"Look at this kid's tangled appearance. He must not be able to figure out why everyone and every detail seem to have made great progress, but they just can't succeed."
"The staff team is too insidious. Wu Qingchen was specially asked to remind a few key points in each link, so as to focus all these guys' attention on the process and disrupt their overall rhythm."
"Poor these clever people who are specially selected... Tsk tsk, 1, 2, 3, 4... It's almost halfway, and I'm still confused."
"It's really an eye-opener. It turns out that the hind legs can still be dragged like this..."
"Art-level lagging behind!"
There are also new followers who do not understand:
"By the way, why didn't the baron move the beehive? Any explanation?"
"Is this extending the advantage period of Akeli Village?"
"In order not to make the church dissatisfied?"
Seniors quickly answered:
"Cut, what are you talking about? It's already too late for the Akford Territory and the parish villages! The half-year harvest gap is no more than the maintenance advantage period? How much do you look down on the earth?"
"Why is the church dissatisfied? Most of the experimental hives are the baron's property, okay?"
"It's not that the baron can't move the beehive, but that the person the baron chooses can't move the beehive."
"Huh? Why? Does it make any difference?"
Of course there is a difference.
Medieval world.
After a few minutes.
After the work of moving the beehives was over, seeing Wu Qingchen's entourage neatly tidy up the tools, and seeing the helplessness of the local farmers, Baron Ackford slammed his mouth and unconsciously frowned even deeper.
"Lord Ross..."
After thinking silently for a while, Baron Ackford slowly walked to Wu Qingchen's side: "How many people in Akeli village can move the honeycomb?"
"Hmm... Let me think about it..." Wu Qingchen raised his head slightly, and after a few seconds, Wu Qingchen read out the number he had prepared a long time ago: "It seems to be... twenty-five... No, it should be twenty-six."
"Ah! So many!?" Baron Ackford's pupils shrank instantly, and he quickly pointed at York, Harry and others who were packing up tools: "Can they all work like them?"
"Sure!" Wu Qingchen nodded of course, and also pointed to York and Harry: "The two of them didn't do the best job."
"But..." the baron asked suspiciously, "Why so many?"
"It's not that many at the beginning." Wu Qingchen shook his head, pointed to the failed local farmers directly led by Akford, and said with a sigh, "As you can see, not everyone can do this job well... The honeycomb business was very urgent, so I found dozens of people at one go, all of whom were doing the job, and practiced for three or four days without doing anything. In the end, seven or eight of them could be moved. There are about a dozen of them, and when all the beehives are removed, I can only move an average guy, and I have almost practiced... So..." Wu Qingchen spread his hands: "In the end, there are such a large number of people, which is a waste of time." There were several barrels of beans, and I was scolded by the teacher for two days."
"Waste?" Your Excellency the Baron shook his head vigorously: "No waste! No waste at all! A few barrels of beans are really worth it!" Then, Baron Ackford patted Wu Qingchen's shoulder affectionately: "Your Excellency Ross... It seems that I have to trouble you again."
"Your Excellency the Baron..." Wu Qingchen showed a wry smile: "You take such good care of me, and the matter of moving the beehive is so important, logically speaking, I don't need to bother you to speak up. I must hurry to send these guys who can move the beehive You come here... However, there is a small problem here, I must tell you."
"Well, you say." Baron Ackford didn't mind, his expression was still quite gentle.
"The twenty-six people who moved the nest are all serfs."
"Huh?" The baron was slightly surprised, and nodded in understanding immediately: "A while ago, when the farm work in the allotment was the most, it is indeed more convenient to use these slackers."
"That's one thing." Wu Qingchen said again: "The other thing is, it wasn't very convenient for me at the time..."
Needless to say, Wu Qingchen, the surrounding bureaucrats have already made up their own minds: Wu Qingchen was not a priest at the time, even if he recruited serfs, the number reached dozens of people, and it is unknown how much hard work and effort was spent on them.
Thinking of this, several people looked at Wu Qingchen with a bit of taste in their eyes. This little priest who was too young to climb to this position did not rely solely on the favor of the master.
"so… "
While everyone was thinking about it, Wu Qingchen went on to say: "A small part of these serfs are Andre's property, and most of them are the teacher's property. I can't decide."
"Well..." the baron stroked his chin and nodded knowingly.
If it was a village freeman, the baron could of course call it directly; if it was three or five serfs, Wu Qingchen could also replace the teacher and be a classmate as a favor. But these are more than 20 serfs, and they are serfs who have mastered the skills, so this is not a trivial matter that can be decided at will.
Baron Ackford was silent for a while, and paced back and forth again, occasionally exchanging glances with the steward.
"Lord Ross."
After a while, the baron spoke again, his tone more intimate: "Look, if two are exchanged for one, will John agree?"
"Ah..." Of course Wu Qingchen would not answer such a question, and quickly shook his head and smiled wryly, "Your Excellency the Baron, please don't embarrass me."
"What's so difficult about it." The baron laughed: "Okay, you also helped me a lot, add one more, three for one... But, the extra one can only be given to you!"
"This..." Wu Qingchen waved his hands hesitantly, "I dare not ask for this."
"Is there anything you dare not want?" The baron didn't take it seriously: "It's just a dozen or so serfs, Mr. Ross, you are a gentleman now, and sometimes you need to talk..."
"Cough...cough...cough..." At this moment, the manager suddenly coughed a few times forcefully.
"Well..." Baron Ackford stopped talking quickly.
I almost said it fluently! This little guy is not at all like a miser who has just advanced. He has only two or three days away from the neighboring village, and he has three cows, seven followers, and each carries a spear!
"This..." Your Excellency the baron is also a sensitive person, and he changed his words as soon as his mind changed: "I think you have also felt it. As a gentleman, daily expenses are not easy. Why not make more income?"
"But..." Wu Qingchen was still hesitant.
"Oh?" Baron Ackford's face was serious: "Why, is it so hard to take what I gave you?"
"Tsk...Your Excellency the Baron, how could this happen? Sigh...how should I put it?" Wu Qingchen became even more "terrified".
"Then it's decided!" Baron Ackford said: "Don't worry, when I write to John, I will tell him that this copy is reserved for you in return for coming here to help cure the cow's nest. I definitely won't blame you!"
"Your Excellency the Baron, I still feel that this is really not good...but..." After saying this, Wu Qingchen quickly continued: "If you really think that I have done these few small things well... there is one thing, I want your help."
"Well, tell me." Baron Ackford raised his head.
"It's still these serfs." Wu Qingchen said hesitantly: "You also know that I can become a priest mainly because of the merits of moving the nest. To be honest, I only came up with one idea from the beginning to the end of this matter. Those who really work are still these poor people.”
As he spoke, Wu Qingchen waved for York and Harry to come over, and ordered them to take off their robes.
"Here is the scar from falling from the tree. I fell five or six times in one night alone."
However, when he turned his head and thought about Wu Qingchen's background and Wu Qingchen's "grateful" trait that he valued, the baron quickly felt relieved.
"Here, it was hit by an ax."
"Well, it's really hard." Baron Ackford said, "Then what do you want me to do?"
"Here, I couldn't see clearly at night, and fell into a ditch."
"Here are the hair and eyebrows that have been burned by the torch and haven't grown yet."
"Don't worry..." Baron Ackford patted Wu Qingchen's shoulder for the second time: "You said nothing wrong, I'm not a harsh lord... speak slowly, don't worry."
It seems that this little guy... Priest Los, is much more "grateful" than I thought!
"I'm thinking... I'm thinking..."
"Your Excellency the Baron, look..."
"Here is the scar from being bitten by bees. I have been bitten almost ten times before and after."
"These serfs have helped me a lot." Wu Qingchen said almost babblingly: "So, after I became a priest, I never let them do any tiring work. But, I'm just Akeli The priests of the village can only take care of them in the village of Akeli... Now it seems that they must leave the village of Akeli. At that time... Of course, Your Excellency the Baron, I am not saying that you are harsh... Master, I am talking nonsense What! Lord Baron Ackford, I absolutely did not mean that!"
Wu Qingchen paused a few times, and said slowly: "Your Excellency, I would like to ask: When you send these serfs to your dozen or so villages, can you remove their status as serfs and make them free men?"
"Hmm..." Baron Ackford almost laughed out loud, but the feeling grew deeper in his heart:
"Well..." Baron Ackford nodded in agreement, not taking it seriously in his heart: Isn't it just a little injury? The serf thing—yes, it’s a thing, a consumable item—was a little bit injured, what’s so special about it? Need to point it out
