Chris slept soundly that night and didn't wake up until about three o'clock in the morning.
After getting up, he went to the dining room, ate two slices of sandwich bread, sat in front of the window sill, and sunbathed beautifully.
"Humph, we are very busy, so you might as well just come and enjoy it." Tina moved a chair and sat in front of Chris, her forehead covered with crystal clear fragrant sweat.
Chris looked up at her and said, "I'm sorry, thank you for your hard work. I will make arrangements later and select female freedmen to cook, so that you can relax a lot."
The population of Hope Town has surged in recent days, and Mrs. Ellen and the others alone are simply too busy. Fortunately, Tina used wind magic to stir and knead the dough, which relieved a lot of pressure.
Tina asked: "Tell me, why did you recruit so many people to the territory?"
"The development of the territory requires labor. Don't you think this place was too barren and desolate before?" Chris asked rhetorically. Of course, he would not say that he was doing it to complete system tasks.
"Then do you plan to keep letting them build houses? In the end, everyone can be assigned a thatched house, and then what?" Tina said, "You can't go to the orchard, right? With Linda's total magic power, you can maintain the orchard.
The current scale has reached its limit. No matter how much you increase the manpower, what's the use if the fruit production can't keep up?"
"Don't worry, I have something for them to do and they won't be idle." Chris smiled slightly.
His idea was to let the freedmen build houses for the time being, and take this opportunity to inspect the houses, weed out the unqualified ones, and slowly expose the remaining ones to the core crafts.
Another point is that Chris needs to select some people with management capabilities and builders who are accomplished in construction.
All of this should be done slowly and not in a hurry.
······
For the next three days, Chris had nothing to do. He searched for some wild rabbits in the territory to practice archery, and when he was tired, he went to supervise the work of the freedmen.
In order to become a squadron leader or squad leader, those guys work very hard and never slack off.
In three days, they cut down the entire forest and built more than 1,500 thatched houses. From a distance, they looked like a large village.
Chris named it Rising Sun Village, which means the rising sun in the east.
In the middle of the village, a thirty-room house was built as a canteen. Twenty female residents were responsible for three meals a day. There were also five people who purchased grain, fruits, vegetables, etc. The division of labor was quite clear.
Now those freedmen are gradually adapting to life in Hope Town and voluntarily becoming territorial citizens, and everything is on track.
In the early morning of the fourth day, as the sun just rose, Chris summoned the citizens of Xuri Village.
He held a piece of parchment and read: "After three days of inspection and the selection of three stewards, I have successfully selected the squadron leader and squad leader, and now I will announce the list."
"Jed, Payne, Dis...the fifteen or so people will be the squad leaders."
"The ones appointed as squadron leaders are Donnie, Fred, and Kolida..."
The twenty people who were selected were overjoyed.
"Thank you, sir!"
"I am willing to do my best for the lord."
Reputation from Jed 5, Reputation from Payne 6...
At the same time, Chris felt surging energy emerging from his body, like a rushing river.
Hello, third-level magic warrior.
With a thought, the system panel unfolded before his eyes.
Name: Chris Jordan
Level: Level 3 Demon Warrior
Reputation value:92/50000
In three days, the citizens provided 4,300 reputation points, and at that moment, Chris was successfully promoted.
To upgrade to the fourth level, it actually requires 50,000 reputation points. This amount can be said to be very terrifying.
Unless Chris recruits a large number of people, there is no possibility of promotion within half a year.
After finishing, Chris dismissed the crowd, leaving only the steward and the squad leader.
He took twenty-three people to a thatched house. There was a large round table and more than twenty chairs, which Chris specially ordered his men to move here for discussion.
After the group sat down, twenty-three pairs of eyes focused on Chris.
"Ahem." Chris cleared his throat, "You are all carefully selected by me and are also the backbone of Xuri Village. What I am going to say next is related to the future development of Hope Town, and it will also
It involves core secrets. After learning this information, you must swear allegiance to me. Once these secrets are leaked, I will kill him even if I chase him to the end of the world. So if anyone wants to
It’s still too late to quit.”
The people present looked at each other, then their eyes were firm.
Brown said: "Sir, you are joking. It is you who gave us dignity, allowed us to have enough food and clothing, and money to spend. In these few days, we are happier than in the decades in Mott City.
We are all part of Hope Town now, and we are willing to follow you to the death."
"Me too."
"Me too."
They finally had the happy life they have now, so who would want to go back to Mott City and live a life where they only had one meal but no one?
"Okay!" Chris took out the map of Hope Town as well as the brick kiln drawings and the process flow chart for firing bricks.
In case the files are lost, the drawings and flow charts were all copied by Chris with Tina and Linda at night, and the originals are still lying in the space ring.
"There are rare metal minerals in these places in Hope Town. Starting tomorrow, Hank, you will take people to mine. Send people to Mote City to buy the missing mining tools." Chris drew a few on the map.
A red circle.
"Sangji, you are good at identifying and preparing rare metals. According to this brick-making flow chart, you can use the metal minerals mined by Hank to make a batch of green bricks. If the quality is up to standard, you can use these green bricks.
Come and build a brick kiln.”
"Brown, you have a lot of construction skills. I want to build a giant brick kiln here. This arduous task will be left to you. The drawings are here. You can take them back and study them first."
Chris assigns tasks reasonably based on the areas in which the three stewards are good at.
The three of them have been freedmen all their lives and have worked in various jobs. They have learned many and complicated things, but in fact they are also proficient in some areas.
Brown and others looked at the parchment Chris took out, their heads buzzing.
Mining is understandable. When they were free people, they were recruited by some nobles to work in the mines.
Brick burning, brick kilns, etc. were all unheard of.
Seeing the confused look of the people in front of him, Chris explained: "Blue bricks are clay mixed with rare metals and burned into a small square piece. They can be used to replace stones and be used to build castles and walls. Brick kilns are large-scale
