Warhammer Seal

Chapter 123 Liberating Productivity

"Here, to build a market, it is required to accommodate 300 people. At the same time, a fountain should be built in the center, and the best sculptor in Bretonnia should set up one among the fountains."

"Well, Ryan knelt down on one knee to worship the goddess, and the goddess held a cup to bless her. This is wages."

Wende contacted the craftsman from Bordello City, and he only needed to put three gold coins in the hands of the craftsman leader, and he knew the meaning immediately.

Of course, he has to solve the materials and labor for the completion of this square, but it is also very cost-effective.

A square with a fountain is only a few gold coins for materials, and I and my workers can earn a whole gold coin.

And the construction period is not long, at most one month can be completed.

This is too much money, and it is hot to hold. It is better to build a few stone roads after the market is completed, so that the construction team will feel better.

As the market's foundations began to be dug, Wind also found other construction teams.

"You guys! Go build three logging camps."

"You guys! Go build some quarries."

"You guys! Go dig a well."

. . .

In the case of money, it is cool to engage in infrastructure construction.

This is Wende's first five-week plan.

It is necessary to store enough basic resources for Ryan Castle. Although gold is very good, it cannot be used directly as a building material.

At the same time, if there is an urgent need, it cannot be immediately turned into a resource.

The most important thing to build a town is the basic resources, of course Wende has taken these into consideration.

Water, fields, wood, stone, population.

Ryan was like a hands-off shopkeeper, watching Wende from the sidelines, and went to practice riding and hammering until he felt bored.

I have to say that the hammer that the Imperials like is really easy to use.

Because of Ryan's absolute trust in Wende, he also has the confidence to do whatever he wants.

"Everyone, everyone, gather and line up to distribute money and meat!"

To get the support of farmers, you don't need to tell them any reason, say good things, or make any promises.

You just need to hand over the benefits that are visible to the naked eye to them.

"Thank you Lord Ryan, thank you Goddess of the Lake!"

After getting new clothes, meat, and money, the serf wanted to kneel down and kiss the stone at the base of the castle wall, but was picked up by Wende.

"Work hard, you must be worthy of the goddess and Lord Ryan, there is no such good gift in other places."

Why does it sound a bit like a capitalist painting a pie?
No, no, this is not painting a big cake. Wende took out the big cake directly, making sure everyone took a bite before speaking their truth.

"Work hard, don't spoil the kindness of the goddess and the lord!"

Cash can only be used for infrastructure construction. If you really want to develop a good economy, what you need is to liberate productivity.

The serf system bound farmers to the land, which was not conducive to the liberation of productive forces.

If you want to liberate the serfs, it is against Bretonnia's national policy.

However, there are countermeasures, and Wende figured out the countermeasures in less than a day.

First of all, the serfdom system must be legally recognized.

Due to the previous precedent of distributing money, clothes and meat, Wende, who represented Ryan's authority, was also welcomed by farmers.

With Wende's order, these guys can immediately put down their work and immediately gather around the periphery of the market where the foundation has been repaired.

"Everyone sign it to prove that you are serfs."

These words fooled all the serfs, even Ryan who was watching.

All serfs were born serfs, so why do they have to write a document to make a written commitment like the empire?Too much trouble.

However, considering his status as a member of the Wind Empire, Ryan still acquiesced in his use of such a strange and troublesome system.

Wende also took into account the fact that the serfs could not write. The hired noble girls also wrote their names one after another. By the way, he also counted the number of people in the entire Lane Castle.

In Bretonnia, only the nobles had the right to study and study. Boys generally went back to study chivalry, while girls studied art and culture.

Most girls learn art and culture and become servants to their husbands and the goddess of the lake, wasting what they have learned.

This liberation of productivity is not only aimed at serfs, but also to show favor to those noblewomen and noble girls who have no inheritance rights.

Let them have work to do, there is no need to stay at home every day, and it can also let them experience the fun of making money with light mental work.

There are a total of 520 serfs in the territory, all of whom are Ryan's private property.

After signing, Wende also collected all the written promises, so he had reason to say what he wanted to say next.

"Everyone, Ryan Castle doesn't need so many farmers to farm. You can do other work, but don't try to escape. I have recorded your serf status."

Run away, why do you want to run away when the life here is so good.

In the past, I could only fill my stomach two days out of eight days a week, but now I only go hungry one day a week.

The farmer is not stupid, it seems that Wen De is just worrying too much.

The world he lived in was so beautiful, and in this Warhammer world, even filling his stomach was considered a happy thing.

People have low thresholds and are easily met.

Some serfs still chose to work in the fields, while others walked out of the fields.

This is exactly the kind of start that Wende is looking forward to, liberating the labor force from the fields and letting them go to places where they are needed more.

And all of this does not require manual distribution by Wende. The natural profit-seeking nature of human beings will produce an invisible hand to plan all economic activities and personnel arrangements in the dark.

The size of Ryan's soldiers has also begun to expand, and now there are actually the first batch of professional soldiers in Bretonnia.

After getting rid of the farmland and corvee, these serfs who joined the army had a lot of time and energy for military training. Perhaps the weak situation of the Bretonnian peasant army will start to improve here.

At night, Ruixi lit the oil lamp for Wende, and then sat on his lap.

Wende also picked her up and placed her on the stool next to her, then opened the parchment in front of her, stirred the ink made of charcoal powder and resin, and licked the tip of the quill pen.

"Today I will tell you about the relationship between production and consumption."

"Production determines consumption."

"Consumption has an important reaction to production. Consumption drives economic growth and promotes the development of production."

"Consumption is the purpose of production. Only when the produced product is consumed can the production of this product be truly completed."

"The new needs formed by consumption play a guiding role in the adjustment and upgrading of production."

"Consumption creates new labor force for production, improves the quality of labor force, and increases the enthusiasm of laborers for production."

Ruixi, the dark elf, is also really smart. When listening to Wende's lecture, he neither felt sleepy nor confused, but instead brought his own thinking.

"Then we increase production efficiency by increasing consumption power, but these, what can these slaves consume?"

After all, they are still dark elves, who think that slavery is a matter of course and cannot be changed, and they don't quite understand the spending power of slaves who depend on a mouthful of food for their lives.

"I will let every serf household have bread and milk! Even wine!"

　Hey, the listing failed, and the mood of adding more is gone. . .

　　Maintain the two changes, and the mentality cannot change.
