For nearly a month, Roger practiced riding horses every day. His riding skills improved rapidly, from slow walking to fast walking, to riding the baron's horse to patrol various places.

The baron was very indulgent to him and said: "Go ahead and fly like an eagle."

Angelica was so envious that she secretly told Roger: "It would be great if my mother was like the Baron. I also want to walk around, but my mother doesn't allow me to leave the village."

Now Roger could ride past the gossiping villagers proudly, but the pony following him became dejected.

It can be said that everything went smoothly during this period, and the deep trench has been dug.

Rows of wooden stakes were driven down, and the baron's face turned pale and his lips trembled: "That's all money."

Roger felt that the baron was worrying blindly. With the ranger around, how could the good wood be turned into a wooden pile?

He is now worried that the stakes driven down are too strong and will not take root and grow into a row of trees. It will be too troublesome to clean up later.

The dam was constructed in sections, and it was easy to see the speed of each section. Roger rewarded a few people and punished a few people, so each section worked harder.

Now you can see that the dam is increasing every day. The construction progress of the dam has exceeded original expectations, which makes Roger very happy. He feels that this is due to his proper arrangements.

The only bad thing is that the stone gate is not ready yet.

When Roger went to the church site to find a stonemason two weeks ago, his two stone doors were still half-finished on the ground. When he went to look at them recently, they were still there.

But this is not to blame for the mason, after all, he is currently building a wall for the short canal.

The mason said, "You can't make me do two things at the same time."

Roger expressed his understanding and said that the matter was not urgent.

In comparison, Roger found that the progress of the church was very slow. They were currently digging the foundation, which required a lot of manpower. However, the villagers along the river were busy plowing and sowing, and Roger would not agree to borrow money at this time.

A large number of mountain people came out.

But Roger knew that the dean didn't have the mind to care about this now. The dean's wooden prayer room had been opened and the "business" was booming.

After a long drought, the villagers lined up to confess. The dean and the few monks he called were busy with pain and joy.

"My little brother, do you know?" The dean now comes to Roger when he has questions, and does not treat him as a child at all.

He said: “We are very willing to spread the gospel of God to more people. But the villagers are too enthusiastic, especially those unclean women, without realizing it, like a flood rushing towards us. I now know that when

It is really not easy to be a priest. And my brother monks have already complained that they want to go back to the monastery. They said that if this continues, it will affect their practice. Sigh."

Roger said: "Can't we just reject them directly?"

The dean showed an embarrassed look. Roger knew that this newbie still had a thin face and was embarrassed to say some things. He thought about it and came up with an idea.

Roger first asked: "Would you Benedictine monks reject a girl of my age?"

The dean said naturally: "Benedictine has a convent, and we do not exclude sisters. We only exclude uncleanness. Girls are pure, and we will not exclude them."

So Roger suggested: "Maybe you can find a female assistant."

He said to the suspicious dean: "You can find a young girl and ask her to admonish those unclean women."

The dean's mind was opened: "Like the dam you built?"

"Maybe it's just a weir."

"That's better than the flood coming straight down." The dean agreed.

Roger suggested again: "You have met Angelica, right? She is Jack Knight's eldest daughter, and everyone in the village is familiar with her."

"Ah, that cute little chaffinch."

The problem was solved and the dean was in a good mood.

Roger said: "Her mother is very strict, maybe you need to communicate with her."

"This is what it should be, and I believe that Mrs. Jack will not refuse her daughter to make a contribution to God."

Roger silently complained that this bastard had no intention of paying his wages at all.

But he knew Angelica would be very happy.

Roger and the dean discussed the church affairs for a while. The dean said that the master's estimated construction period is fifteen years.

The director said that he had made an appointment with the mountain people to hire a group of people to work on the dam when it was completed.

This is also good news for Roger. According to his plan, a group of mountain people will be left to farm here.

However, after the dam was completed, the sowing period had passed, and oats were planted at most, which was not enough for the remaining mountain people to survive the next harvest. The dean also solved the problem for him.

After Roger returned, he quietly reported a message to Angelica. The little chaffinch was very happy.

The little chaffinch chirped and thanked Roger, hopping around in circles.

Roger warned her to be calm. Monks like silence. He told her about what he had seen in the Benedictine monastery and their rules.

He said: "If you are still chattering like you are now when the dean comes to see your mother, I guess the dean will find someone else."

Angelica became anxious all of a sudden, and she burst into tears. She said, "No, I will be good. I have always been good."

Roger then had to busy comforting and coaxing her.

He felt that he was really nosy and just let her be, it was none of his business.

But he was still very happy when he saw Angelica bursting into laughter.

Early the next morning, Angelica went to the village gate.

Roger saw that she was well dressed, but she had two dark circles under her eyes. She was also trying her best to suppress her excited steps and pretend to be a lady, and he couldn't help but feel funny.

It was not until after noon that Angelica came back with her guests. To Roger's surprise, in addition to the dean, she also brought back an acquaintance.

"Hi Roger, how are you? Do you remember me?"

The man was carrying a large package, leading a donkey, and had a money bag tied to his belt.

"Ah, it's you. Of course I remember it. What's your name?"

Roger saluted the dean, then greeted the traveling merchant warmly, apologizing for forgetting his name.

"Mather, Gérard Mather."

The businessmen didn't take it seriously. In their line of work, they were naturally familiar with dealing with all kinds of people.

The traveling businessman said: "I didn't expect such a big change to happen here. When the monks asked me to come, I was still hesitant. I was still thinking, isn't this a bad basin? What else can there be besides mosquitoes? Is it possible?

Mosquitoes also want to buy something?"

Roger looked at his package and asked: "Then what did you bring this time? The blood of a male mosquito or a girl?"

"Haha, of course it's salt. When you're not sure what to eat, it's always good to bring salt."

The dean went about his business, and Angelica followed nervously and excitedly. Roger saw that she seemed to have really turned into a sparrow and could not even walk.

Roger invited the traveling businessman to sit inside and asked, "What are your plans next?"

"Of course I'm taking advantage of the excitement here and walking back and forth a few more times to do business," the traveling merchant said happily, "I guess I can make a lot of money this time."

"I remember that your eyes are very accurate in seeing everything."

"Of course," the traveling merchant pointed at his eyeballs with two fingers, and with this iconic gesture, he said, "I never made a mistake."

Roger curled his lips disapprovingly and said, "Then you didn't see anything else?"

"Huh?" the traveling merchant calmed down. He looked at Roger and said, "You're talking a lot. Tell me, brother, what else is there?"

"There is another plan here..."

When the dean walked out of the side room with satisfaction, greeted Roger and was about to go back, he found that the traveling merchant was missing.

"Hello, Dean Benedictine, please allow me to introduce myself,"

The man bowed to the dean, leaving him dumbfounded.
Chapter completed!
