Chapter 21 Xintun Planning
The caravan brought back this time, sixty-three slaves were arranged to rest in the converted wooden house. Two large pots of food and hot water were burned outside the wooden house. The aroma of steaming food attracted the hungry belly of the slaves.
"Mother, are these foods prepared for us? Guoguo is hungry, gurgling..."
"Guoguo is so hungry. After waiting for a while, there will be something to eat soon. I really hope the lord here will be half as kind as the lord said."
In the corner of the room, a ragged woman comforted her child who was only six or seven years old.
"Guoguo doesn't understand where our former Mayor Harry went, why didn't you come to save us back?"
"Mayor Harry is gone. Guoguo, there is no Mayor Harry here, only a new lord, a new master, the Baron Noble named Odin, Bloodhoofed."
Guoguo still looked at his mother with confusion. He was young and didn't know exactly what it means to lose his home.
Among this group of slaves, there are as many as seven or eight such children.
Mela dragged a truck of corn and potatoes, and a few big roosters.
"Oh, are you crazy Mela, are you sure this is for them to eat?"
Rora asked, pointing at the big cock.
"You're thinking too much. This is the food for the militiamen. Teacher Ruvid ordered that it was thanks to these guys this time. Humph, these things are obviously what they should do."
Wash the corn and potatoes slightly and throw them into a large pot. The other pot is wheat porridge, which is more suitable for people who are hungry for a long time.
Everyone gets a bowl of hot porridge and a potato or corn for dinner, and all that is left is food for the militia and the entourage knights, who will stay here to guard until the slaves completely accept the town of Stone.
Odin stayed in the castle and used the ability of the Book of Faith to observe everyone.
So far, the arrangements of the town government officials are remarkable. Although Ruvid is sometimes hipster, he is still quite reliable when it comes to doing things, which is what Odin likes about him.
These slaves can relieve some labor pressure for the town, and their needs will also provide some economic impetus.
However, the corresponding infrastructure must also be arranged, and houses that can be lived in for a long time should be planned. Public toilets and septic tanks that have been considered for a long time have not started construction. These are all issues that the town needs to solve urgently.
"There are more and more things happening in the town... My breeding plan will be a little bit later. Don't hurry, take your time. I am only sixteen years old, and my father is still healthy. In a remote and barren place like me, the war will not affect me."
...
The next morning, Ruvid came to the castle to report on the progress of the caravan.
Odin also made an exception and did not conduct a knight class, allowing Kunas to continue to work in the militia.
"Lord, this is a detailed procurement list. Please check it out."
After Luvid finished speaking, he took out a piece of parchment from his arms, which was filled with dense words.
【Three Hundred and Ten Chicken Seedlings
Seventy pounds of salt
Ten pounds of spices
A hundred rolls of linen cloth
Ten rolls of silk cloth
One hundred bags of fine flour
One hundred iron farm tools
Top ten barrels of beer
Thirty stacks of parchment paper
...
Sixty-three slaves
The above cost 65 gold and 83 silver
Another 65 poultry sales earn 1 gold and 30 silver]
"These things are necessities of life except slaves, which are enough for the townsmen to need for a month. The goods are sold at the public sales office for a long time, and the price is twice the purchase price. If all sold out, they will have a profit of about 1000 yuan.
Originally, the slave was priced at a gold coin, but I ate all the children's slaves from the slave merchants, so he gave me some price discounts, which is the rule of the slave merchants."
Child slaves have no short-term value, and buying them will only make a loss. No one is willing to take a slave who cannot work, so it is difficult to take action.
But despite this, in the process of catching slaves or selling slaves, the child slaves will still be retained and will not be killed. This is a hidden rule, and it may be their only bottom line in life.
"You did a good job, Luvede, Jushi Town, not only needs labor, but also talents that can be cultivated. These children need to be well taught."
"Ruweid understands!"
"The slaves have been bought, but they do not have their own residence yet. I decided to build a new trough near the newly built water truck for them to live in."
"My lord!"
Ruvid wiped the sweat from his head, and the town was so much that it scared him.
"Xintun master plan is 1,000 households, with house specifications based on standard two-story buildings plus front and rear courtyards. The street should be wide enough for four carriages to pass side by side."
Odin continued.
"The layout must be neat and uniform in specifications, not one large or one small, and a public toilet must be built on each street, with men and women separated."
"Uh... Lord Lord, what is a public... Uh toilet."
Ruvid's forehead was sweating more and more, and he was not allowed to ask questions in the face of unfamiliar nouns.
"People living in Xintun are prohibited from urinating and defecating at will. They can only go to public toilets to urinate and defecate, dig a large pond, concentrate people's feces, and can be used to fertilize."
“This…what is fertilization?”
“Fertilization is to cover the concentrated manure on the surface of the cultivated land, which can increase the yield of plants.
Well, you can't remember so much at once. Don't worry, do it step by step. I will guide you slowly to solve the current problems first."
“Yes!”
Ruvid could no longer answer the words, and took out the parchment paper that he had put back again. He could not remember so much what the Lord said by his brain alone.
"How many people are in the construction team now?"
"Fifteen fixed personnel, two logistics."
"To expand the municipal construction team, at least there must be a fixed forty construction workers and lumberjacks, five logistics workers in charge of food, and the logistics workers will be held by the female residents of the town."
"But there are so many workers, the city hall's food storage will not last long."
"Then buy the grain stored in the residents. They have been operating in Jushi Town for so many years, and they must have a lot of grain stored in their hands. The city hall vigorously purchases it, selling necessities while collecting grain to allow the currency to flow.
But since the construction team has food, the salary needs to be adjusted slightly, just make your own decisions.”
Contracting food is a very good benefit for construction workers with high workloads. It is completely acceptable for workers to reduce their wages appropriately. After all, the landlords don’t have much surplus food.
"If the road surface is not paved for the time being, the workload is too high, but there must be drainage ditches on both sides, otherwise it will be raining and there will be water everywhere and you can't walk."
Odin stopped and took a sip of tea.
"By the way, I have set up a forest patrol team in the past two days when you go out, and the city hall is affiliated to the city hall, which is responsible for inspecting the forest and warning the monsters.
Luken, you know, he was the captain, and just two days ago, he found traces of timberwolves around the residential area and was injured.
You asked him to choose four slaves as his subordinates, and this is what I promised him."
