Back in the room, Chris lay on the small bed and began to review tonight's battle.
The Demon Warrior has a dragon-like form, making him almost invincible at the same level.
Chris's current strength is roughly equivalent to that of an intermediate third-level knight.
It is quite difficult to deal with someone like Flanton, who is the pinnacle of the third level.
Now he still has to improve his level as much as possible. Whether it is the Edmund Black Mage Association or the mastermind hiding in the dark, they have put a lot of pressure on Chris.
At this moment, pale golden fonts appeared in front of my eyes.
"Ding, the mission has been updated."
Mission: As a qualified baron, you must have enough people under your command to develop the territory. Please expand the number of people under your command to 2,000.
Progress:212/2000
Mission reward: Brick kiln construction drawings, brick-burning process
The system, which had been silent for a long time, actually updated its tasks again.
When he saw the reward clearly, Chris was so excited that he was almost ecstatic.
There is no brick-burning technology in the Magic Continent, and cities are built by mobilizing manpower to quarry stones from nearby mountains.
If Chris possesses this craft, he can use it to build a more luxurious castle, or sell the bricks and develop it into an industry in the territory.
And the more people you have, the more reputation you can gain.
It can be said that it accomplishes multiple things with one stone.
Chris yawned and closed his eyes to sleep.
······
Chris woke up the next day, feeling sore all over. The battle last night had left him a little exhausted, and the sequelae were coming.
He got up, washed up under the service of his maid, Ruth, and went to the dining room to eat.
The two female magicians were already dining here.
Tina asked with concern: "Chris, how is your injury?"
"Much better." Chris looked at his arm. The wound on it had scabbed over. With the recovery power of his second-level magic warrior, he would be able to fully recover in two or three days.
"Be more careful in the future. The person hiding behind the scenes will not give up so easily."
"I know." Chris took a bite of the jam bread and looked at Linda and said, "I need you to cultivate more warning trees for me and increase the surveillance area."
Linda agreed: "Okay."
This time, the warning tree played the most important role. If a sub-tree hadn't warned Chris first, then they might have been caught off guard, and the casualties would have been much more serious than they were now.
After breakfast, Chris came downstairs and prepared to take the knights and servants to Mote City to sell sandwich bread and recruit free people.
Jonathan's condition is not very good. He was seriously injured yesterday and now it is very difficult to even stand up and walk. Chris can only give him a few days off.
The other four first-level knights had no major problems. Under the treatment of Qingyun Guo, they were alive and well, and their work was not affected at all.
Chris released the root again, only to find that the guy also looked sick, so he could only leave it at home and ask the maids to take care of it.
Chris rode on the bay horse, first went to the orchard to put a hundred jars of jam into the ring, and then led the knights and male servants to Mote City.
Selling sandwich bread today is secondary, the main job is to recruit people to Hope Town.
Two hours later, the group of them arrived at Mote City.
Chris opened the shop, took out all the jam, and asked Shiloh and the others to make sandwich bread, while he himself came to the city gate.
The door has the largest flow of people, with people coming in and out one after another.
Chris took out a large piece of parchment and wrote on it: "Recruiting workers! I hope the town will recruit young workers for a long time. The daily salary is fifty copper coins, and food and accommodation are included."
He didn't want to keep people there from the beginning. Many people were nostalgic for the prosperity of the city and were not necessarily willing to live in the countryside.
Therefore, Chris simply hired some people to work in the territory first. After those people adapted to life in the country, they might be willing to settle down and develop into territory residents.
It would be great if you can bring your family with you.
Mote City is filled with many free people, who often make a living doing odd jobs.
If there are any large-scale events at the homes of nobles in the city, and there are not enough servants, they will come and hire free people.
The notice posted by Chris attracted many people's attention.
"My dear, 50 copper coins also includes food and accommodation. Is this true?"
"Why do I feel like I'm lying? Isn't Hope Town just a small town in the countryside? I've passed by there before and it's very deserted. Can that lord really get such a high salary?"
Some people just stopped at the front and did not have the courage to accept recruitment.
Finally, a middle-aged man with a beard on his face came over and asked: "Sir, what exactly do you do in your territory?"
Chris whispered: "Simple, just build a house."
The requirement of the system mission is to expand the number of people in the territory to 2,000.
Then Chris needs to build a thatched house that can accommodate two thousand people before then.
As for the work in the orchard, it is a core technology in the territory. Only when the free people voluntarily become the citizens of Hope Town can Chris dare to let them do things with confidence and boldness.
The middle-aged man rubbed his hands and said, "Then the salary of fifty copper coins you mentioned."
Chris grabbed a handful of coins and held them in front of the other party: "Here, this is your salary for today."
He usually comes into contact with gold and silver coins, but these fifty copper coins were finally collected with great difficulty.
The man took it hurriedly, feeling a little flattered.
Reputation from Brown 1
Seeing Chris making such a generous move, those who were watching flocked over in droves.
"Count me in."
"My lord, I am diligent and diligent, choose me."
In the end, Chris selected about twenty young, strong, old, weak, sick and disabled people to pass directly.
Taking the twenty people back to the shop, Chris said to Shiloh who was working: "Leave five people here and teach them how to make sandwich bread."
There is no core craftsmanship here, just spread the jam between two pieces of bread.
"What about the remaining people?" Shiloh asked.
Chris said: "Take all the rest back to the territory and let Robert choose some suitable places to build a house."
"Yes, sir!" Shiloh began to make arrangements for those people: "You five stay, and the rest follow me."
He took a dozen people with him and set off in a mighty manner, returning to Hope Town.
"Go to the sink and wash your hands and follow their example." Chris pointed to the five people left behind and said.
"Yes, sir."
After a while, they learned the lesson well.
Chris felt relieved, walked to the door, and started selling sandwich bread.
