"These things, each broom has two copper coins, each dustpan has four copper coins, and each basket has four copper coins! You don't have to buy it, but if after today, if anyone is found to have something that does not meet the requirements of Dika
If there are things stipulated in Sri Lanka's laws and regulations, then he will have to accept punishment!" William said expressionlessly.
As soon as he said this, the whole place was in an uproar.
The villagers in the small village of Nisai could not control themselves and complained softly.
The sounds are superimposed together and make a buzzing sound.
Hustle frowned slightly.
Adams' face was full of pain.
Old Grete looked like "I knew you would be like this" in his eyes. His eldest son Gretel touched his arm lightly, and Old Grete nodded silently.
Great Gretel's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had received some signal, and soon his eyes became the same as usual.
"Lord Baron..." Old John said worriedly.
William didn't look back, he still looked at the villagers, but his eyes became cold, and he suddenly shouted at the villagers, "Quiet!"
The villagers were all startled and shut their mouths, and the scene became silent.
William's eyes scanned the villagers.
Every villager he saw lowered his head in fear, thinking to himself, just pay for those things and just think that all the hard work these days has been in vain.
William then said, "In addition, I still have several jobs to recruit people for. Of course, I will pay a lot of money."
The villagers said nothing, but their faces showed a lack of interest.
William also understands the mental state of the villagers. If the money you earned through hard work is taken away by people using various excuses without covering it up, do you still have the motivation to continue working hard to "make money"?
It seemed like it really existed! William suddenly thought of the house in his previous life, and his heart burst into tears.
Although William felt bitter, his acting skills were still sufficient. William seemed not to be affected in any way, and continued to the villagers expressionlessly, "I need two people to dig a big hole at that location. It doesn't need to be too deep.
But it must be big enough.”
William pointed to a place not far away in the leeward direction outside the village and said.
The land in this place is barren, and only the toughest weeds can survive, so there are no villagers cultivating the land here, and it is barely an ownerless land.
Some villagers followed William's hand and looked over, and became indifferent after finding that it was not their own field.
William had no choice but to use his trump card and said, "The daily reward is ten copper coins."
How many Puer copper coins are not going to go? This is what most villagers think at first, and then wait a second, how many Puer copper coins are there? Ten! Ten Puer copper coins can buy the few things that the lord wants to sell,
Did you buy the same one each? And every day? If you had done it for a few more days, wouldn't there have been a lot of ten Puer copper coins?
The villagers are not very good at arithmetic, but they have a keen intuition about money.
The whole place was quiet at first, and then suddenly exploded like boiling water.
The villagers rushed to wave to William and shouted, "Baron, I'm going!"
"Lord Baron, I am willing to serve!"
The villagers' voices were so loud that they came to William in waves like a tide.
William had no choice but to yell, overpowering everyone else's voices, and said, "Old John, help me see who has violated the laws of the Decas Territory, and punish every one I see!"
As soon as the sound came out, everything was silent!
Old John understood what William meant and pretended to look at the villagers.
The villagers kept their mouths tightly shut for fear of being caught and fined by Old John.
At this time, William's stern eyes swept across the entire audience, causing the villagers to lower their heads uneasily, and then he said in a deep voice, "I hope this is the last time this happens!"
"Dikas Territory does not welcome such disorderly citizens!"
After a moment of silence, William continued, "Besides digging holes, I have other things for you to do!"
"Pick up dung! For every basket of dung, pile it into the pit in front of me that I asked people to dig, and I will give you two copper coins."
Old John was still cooperating with William to keep an eye on the villagers and maintain order on the field. When William said this, his eyes widened, "Baron, do you need to think about it again?"
William pretended not to hear what Old John said.
But the villagers heard William's words clearly, and their eyes were burning.
Can feces be sold for money these days? Can it still be sold at such a high price?
The villagers can't wait to collect dung in exchange for money!
No villager would have the thought "Is the lord lying to me? What if he doesn't pay me?"
The main reason was that in the past few days, William was exchanging money for golden grass, and William gave money very readily, which made the villagers have basic trust in him.
In order to establish credit, the ancient Shang Yang did not hesitate to spend a thousand gold as investment capital.
William was relatively poor, so he could only use these small favors to gradually build people's confidence in him.
So far, the effect is pretty good.
"In addition, I need you to help me find a few things." William was quite satisfied with the villagers' response. After nodding secretly, he added, "The first thing is a kind of brown-red or brown-red soil, which has a certain
Sticky! When you find it, bring it to Old John. If I’m sure it’s the kind of soil I want, I’ll give the finder a silver franc as a reward!”
One franc silver coin is worth one hundred copper coins. The task given by William was so simple, but the reward was so exaggerated. The villagers took a breath of cold air, their brains started to spin rapidly, and they began to search their memories to see where they had seen something like this.
soil.
The soil William asked the villagers to find was actually clay. To be precise, it was red clay.
Red clay is highly recognizable and easy to find.
Clay has a wide range of uses. As a building material, it is needed whether it is burned or made into cement.
The small village of Nisei needs a wall instead of the previous wooden fence, so that some villagers will be willing to stay and tide over the difficulties with him!
The magic mirror could have helped him search for these things, but it needed to consume energy, and the energy of the magic mirror was running out. William was reluctant, so he had to mobilize the power of the masses.
Anyway, for him, problems that can be solved with money are not problems.
Money is a bastard, it's just for spending.
Old John, on the other hand, felt extremely distressed when he saw William "spending money indiscriminately"!
"The second thing is a kind of stone, a light blue or milky white stone."
The villagers were confused, how could one stone have two colors?
In fact, the second thing William asked them to find was limestone. Different limestone content will lead to different appearance colors. If the limestone content exceeds 50%, it will be light blue, light blue like the sky.
This kind of limestone is also a key tool for farming, so the bounty offered by William is not low.
"Whoever finds this kind of stone will be rewarded with an Aiju silver coin!"
"Wow!" The villagers couldn't help shouting in a low voice. One Aiju silver coin, but three franc silver coins, which is three hundred copper coins of Pur, is sixty loaves of black bread!
The villagers' eyes glowed green.
"The last thing I want you to find is the black stone."
Blackstone is the name for coal in this world. People in this world have long discovered the role of coal, and use coal to boil water for heating, calcining, etc.!
It's just that there aren't many open-pit coal mines in the world, so the amount of mining is relatively small.
When William came here, he had never seen villagers burning coal for heating. They all used dry firewood.
He said this just casually. It's good to have it, but it's okay not to have it. There is a lot of firewood in the dark forest!
"Whoever finds the Black Stone, a Pis gold coin!"
These words were so shocking that the villagers' bodies were trembling, which was caused by excitement.
If William hadn't still been on stage, there would have been an uproar here.
Old John was already despairing of William's "spending money".
He looked at William numbly.
William seemed to be aware of his gaze, turned his head, looked at him, and suddenly gave him a weird smile. Old John's scalp suddenly went numb!
Then Old John heard William say, "Of course, all these jobs will only be released to the villagers who have purchased those tools. I feel very sorry for the villagers who have not purchased those tools! Even if you do it, I will not
I won’t admit it!”
This means that the villagers must pay for those handicrafts first!
William's words were like pouring water on the raging fire of the villagers, just like when you were looking for a job in your previous life, you were asked to pay a deposit first.
Everyone will have doubts in their heart!
But the next second, the villagers' eyes became hot again.
As long as there is enough profit, no one will dare to take risks.
What's more, William's credibility has been pretty good these days.
Compared with other lords, it is already much better!
"If you want, ask Old John to sign up." After saying this, William walked back to the earthen house.
Time is running out, and he must race against time to improve his strength. Today's knight training method has not been practiced yet!
Poor old John was stunned for a moment when William waved his hand away like this, and then he was surrounded by the green eyes of the villagers.
"Master John, I want a broom, a dustpan, and a basket."
"Stupid Cuza, that's called a dustpan! Master John, give me two brooms, a dustpan, and two baskets! Master John, do you think I can sign up for the Baron's jobs?"
"Damn Hahn, get out of here! I was the one who came first..."
"Get out of the way, stupid Kuza! I have a lot to buy, so I go first!"
"Master John, I will also buy three brooms, two dustpans, and three baskets. Master John, I am very strong, and I want to dig a hole for the Baron!"
Someone new has chimed in!
"Stand back, I was here first!"
"Me first! Master John, I have ten copper coins ready!"
It's also because William is not here. If he hears someone trying to dig a hole for him, he won't kill him with a sword.
At this time, Old John, who was surrounded by villagers, was already in a state of complete confusion!
The crowd is raging!
For William, that means the people’s support can be used!
