When he heard that there was an attack here, he crawled out of bed on the spot. He even suspended his work with his wife, and ran over on the spot.
After arriving here, he breathed a sigh of relief looking at the intact warehouse and people.
But the only prisoner didn't say anything. A great knight was either a commodity found everywhere, or a rare figure in the ordinary baron-viscounty territory.
Even in the earldom, he is considered a mid-level figure.
When he got out of the shack and was blown by the cold night wind outside, he didn't want to find out who was behind it. Everything was based on his own development.
If he is a powerful viscounty, then what difficulty does this have for him? If he has a knighthood, then what else does he need to worry about.
"Raven..." The Viscount said something to Raven.
Raven raised his head, looked at the stars in the sky, and then looked at the Viscount, "Construction will start here in a month at most."
"The wheat fields have been cleared during this period, and I will let them do some preliminary preparations."
"Okay, if you need anything, I'm ready to give it to you." The Viscount said without hesitation.
Raven nodded, and then said, "I need some people who can help. The more, the better."
People? The more the better?
The viscount was a little confused.
"It's just to renovate the territory or something else. The current number of people cannot meet the conditions, so I need some people."
In fact, these things can be replaced by some wild beasts as labor, but there is no territory for any of them.
His purpose is not just to build this town, but to take advantage of this winter to bring everyone back to life.
"No problem." The Viscount agreed wholeheartedly.
Raven nodded and ended the conversation.
——————
The next day, the viscount asked the cavalry to bring in many people, including young people in their prime, men and women.
The age is probably just before adulthood to middle age.
Since it is a labor force, of course these strong laborers who are still a few years old are powerful.
Raven accepted it all and settled more than a hundred people in the warehouse's shack.
Then, he started a new journey as a contractor.
First, he found the wandering knight who opened the tavern. This guy used to be a construction worker. It seemed that he was deceived by the nobles in some territory and built the city without giving him any money.
I endured it there for a long time, but finally I couldn't bear it anymore and left there.
"I need you to take them and build something." Raven got straight to the point.
"???"
There are question marks all over the bearded forehead. Have you forgotten what I told you before?
"I'm not a noble, believe me." Raven looked into the bearded eyes.
The bearded man looked at the middle-aged knight and took a sip of beer, "Why are you doing this?"
You are already in your forties, why are you still fighting?
Raven opened his pocket and took out a piece of paper filled with something written on it and handed it over.
"How to make rye beer?"
The bearded man looked at the method of processing half a piece of wheat and the method of building a boiler recorded above...
Yes, just think of it as the production method of this film.
"Hey, dear Knight Raven, when you get older, your heart doesn't grow old. You still have to fight when you have to." The bearded man said with a slightly playful tone, and stroked the beard at the corner of his mouth.
Done, the construction workers are in place.
——————
The first construction task Raven gave to the Bearded Wandering Knight was to build a water mill to grind wheat using water power.
The bearded wandering knight scratched his head, sent a letter, and called his old sweetheart over, but it would probably take some time for her to get here.
It's about a few hundred meters from the mountain to the bottom.
For other places, a few hundred meters is a bit close, but for a town, a few hundred meters is still far away.
During the day, Lei Wen asked these people to go up the mountain to quarry rocks, and they had to carry all the broken and whole rocks on their backs.
Under the influence of humility and fighting spirit, it didn't take long for these people to work with enthusiasm, just like the common people before.
Then, under their physical limitations, Raven set the time for starting and ending work, and Raven did not waste any free time during the day.
Instead, he took the Sirk Knight together to train these young civilian men and women, shaved some wooden spears for them, taught them how to stab, and taught them how to use their hands. This was right.
Then, Raven taught them some simple formation methods and told them that the best performers could train with the Knight Squire.
The Viscount's heart is like a mirror, this is to increase his reserve of knights.
With his second son, third son and fourth daughter who had already arrived, he watched Lei Wen instruct these militiamen from a distance.
"Stark, aren't you afraid that his prestige is too great?" the Viscountess asked the Viscount with a somewhat complicated expression.
The Viscount was startled, then relaxed, touched his youngest daughter's golden hair, and looked down at her.
"No, dear, you don't understand."
Yes, she didn't understand. Only Raven could make his territory better. For now, he had no other way to restore the glory of the earl, and Raven showed him the possibility.
"All conspiracies and tricks will be shattered by absolute power." The Viscount looked at his 12-year-old second son, his 10-year-old third son, and his six-year-old daughter.
His heart was full of determination. Since he chose to believe, he would not doubt it.
He is just a knight, and he is a noble.
This is an iron-clad rule that cannot be broken. It is impossible for him to ban him, no matter how prestigious he is, this is his confidence.
——————
Soon, winter arrived and frost came.
The people here put on slightly thicker clothes, and under the leadership of Raven, they learned how to freeze in ice and water.
The speed of digging out rocks is faster.
The stone here is pretty good, more than enough for building foundations for houses.
"Hey, I heard there is white bread to eat today."
A civilian said to his friend. He looked at the big stone under him and knocked it twice left and right.
"White bread?"
"You're not sick, are you?"
His friends obviously didn't believe him.
"No, I have already seen it. The fist is so big, and it smells delicious. There are many, many, many." The civilian retorted, and what he said was reasonable and well-founded.
But no one would believe someone would ask them to eat white bread until they saw the real thing.
Soon after, he fell silent and took a big bite of the white bread in his hand. It was soft and crispy. Not only was it very good, it was almost delicious.
Throughout the winter, although they only ate bread once, it was enough to make them remember it for the rest of their lives.
Later, they can brag to their descendants, "Hey, you know what? I ate white bread once before, and it was delicious..."
Winter is over, the ice and snow all over the mountains have melted, and there are some more figures in the frozen rivers and lakes, which are some fish and wetland birds.
