On the second day after returning to the castle, the 476 serfs who had camped in the wild for the night finally came to Huahua Town. After eating a few full meals, the serfs still looked bad, but at least their spirits had improved a lot.
afternoon.
The sun was setting to the west, and all the serfs lined up on the main road of Huahua Town, waiting quietly.
Liszt, riding on Lilong's horse, came in front of the team surrounded by the knight squad. Thomas led Dou Sen, following the same steps, and now he would take Dou Sen with him when he went out—a bit like a man fighting a dog.
"My lord, the quality of these serfs...is very poor." Marcus glanced over and frowned.
"It is true that there are very few serfs in the prime of life, but there are quite a few children. They can be well trained and become candidates for knights in the future." Liszt said simply.
While speaking, Gao Ertai had already greeted him: "My lord, the serfs have finally reached Huahua Town, and none of them got lost."
"It's a good job. I don't care about the damage during the sea voyage. On Coral Island, I don't want them to suffer any more damage."
"Then, my lord, now arrange for them to kneel down and offer their loyalty to you?"
"Can."
When serfs see their lords, they need to dedicate their loyalty, which is a form of selling themselves as slaves.
Old Grandet received Gao Ertai's instructions, and immediately turned to the serfs, shouting in wind language: "Lowly serfs, the blood of the great Tulip family, the lord of Huahua Town, stands in front of you, now, to the lord Kneel down and offer your allegiance!"
for a moment.
The serfs fell to their knees one after another, using their newly learned lame serpentine script, and shouted: "My lord!"
Not neat, but loud.
The shouts of nearly 500 people, even if it was just a group of serfs in ragged clothes, uneven height, yellow and emaciated, old, weak, sick and disabled, still had a bit of a turbulent momentum.
Liszt has become accustomed to such scenes. In Huahua Town, kneeling and shouting to him happens every day. So he just looked at the group of serfs with a smile on his face. The serfs kneeling on the ground all buried their heads deeply in the ground, not daring to look directly at their future masters.
After a while.
Liszt, who had prepared his lines, said, "I accept your loyalty. From now on, you have become a part of Huahua Town and work hard for me. You will get my protection and live a stable life." After finishing speaking, read A glance at the old Grandet who was acting as an interpreter.
The old Grandet understood, and translated: "The lord has accepted your loyalty, and the lord told you that from now on, you will become a part of Huahua Town, and if you work hard for the lord, you will be able to get the protection of the lord. Live in peace, do you understand?"
"Understood."
"Yes."
"Thank you Lord Lord."
"I'll work hard."
The serfs responded sparsely, many of them still didn't know what to say, they just knelt down.
Seeing this, Liszt said, "Old Grandet, let them get up."
in this way.
This is the end of the short serf acceptance ceremony.
Liszt did not stop, and returned directly to the castle, while Marcus continued to lead the knight team and returned to the Thorn Forest to guard the logging team. Gao Ertai and other officials began to get busy. They wanted to arrange the life and work of the 476 serfs in a short time.
Fortunately, many wooden houses have been built in the town and in various villages.
In the unfinished commercial area, workshop area, and residential area, there are also many wooden houses that can provide temporary housing.
There is no shortage of food. There may not be much bread and vegetables, but there is enough seafood. Even if it is not enough, the fishermen in the oyster village will be enough to catch the sea a few times.
"We need to complete the distribution of serfs as soon as possible, and the autumn harvest is coming." Gao Ertai said loudly.
"The resource census has not yet been completed. There are too many serf women, children and the elderly. The original arrangement plan is out of date and we need to adjust it." Isaiah responded.
Blair watched the serfs crowding into the wooden hut, ready to spend the night, and said with a smile: "Children and nursing women should be put aside first. Other serfs who can work, why not send them to Thorn Ridge, let them To carry lumber, or to carry stones, to make roads."
Gao Ertai interrupted: "This is not a responsible distribution plan."
"What I mean is, don't make arrangements for now, wait until the resource census is completed, and then make overall arrangements."
"Well, this is also a way. It's really not easy to arrange in a short time, and we can't keep them for nothing, just send them to the logging team."
…
At the dinner, Goltai conveyed Blair's suggestion to Liszt.
In this regard, Liszt recognized it and added: "Try to arrange craftsmen to do some light work. Among them, serfs who are weak or sick should not be arranged to work, and let them take a good rest." Among these serfs, he The most important thing is the craftsman.
The skills of craftsmen are the technology of this world and an indispensable part of a prosperous territory.
Suddenly thought of something, he said again: "Tonight, you rest a little later and make a list of the craftsmen first, especially what skills they master. I will ask the servants of the castle to help record it. I hope to see you tomorrow morning."
In today's Flower Town, Liszt is right.
By the next morning, after he got up and walked the dog, a list of thick thick paper had already been placed on the dining table. After taking a shower and changing into loose clothes, I sat at the dining table and prepared to enjoy breakfast.
It was time for Carter to order the footman to bring breakfast.
A glass of fragrant fresh milk, a pineapple bun and milky bread, a fried egg, a large piece of fried Warcraft meat, a vegetable salad, and a few pieces of fruit.
This is his standard breakfast.
It is worth at least a dozen silver coins, especially the value of Warcraft meat is very high.
But who made him rich recently, as an invisible rich man on Coral Island, he is not willing to wrong himself. It has never been a hard and simple style, and you must enjoy it if you can enjoy it.
He picked up the milk and took a big sip.
"The milk produced by the castle itself is better. I think the climate and environment of Huahua Town is definitely suitable for raising cows." He licked the milk froth on the corner of his lips and made his own judgment.
"Sherlock has already bought three calves, and now the size of the pasture is occupied by horses, so there is no way to raise more cows, sir."
Liszt's tone was firm: "When Thorn Ridge is developed, the dairy farm will definitely expand, at least double the size, and I will raise more dairy cows!"
Because the milk tea is getting better and better, he specially investigated the dairy farms, and found no reason for the improvement of the milk quality of the cows—at least not the cows that were guessed before entering pregnancy. Compared with the milk of the cows outside, it can be clearly felt that the milk tastes better. gap.
The milk from Huahua Town Dairy Farm is not only fragrant, but also more refreshing.
Later, Liszt guessed whether it was the reason for feeding the new variety of pasture corngrass. As a result, after feeding separately, it was found that it had nothing to do with corngrass. So he decided that the climate in Huahua Town was suitable for raising dairy cows.
I took a bite of the pineapple bun.
Liszt focused his attention on the thick leather paper on the table, opened it casually, and checked the craftsman information recorded on it.
