People are building infrastructure in another world

Chapter 20
Lacey wanted to scold the village chief, but swallowed the words again.

Aurora told him that she did not wish to arouse Linon's anger, so he was expressly forbidden to resort to violence and insults.It's better to speak softly, and if Linon doesn't obey his orders, say Miguel's orders.

Well, Miguel will be the bad guy, and she will be the good guy.

Aurora is very clear about her positioning.

Lacey said to them: "The planting will not be delayed, the baroness is kind, and will provide two meals a day for labor. The purpose of this labor is to increase the fertility of the land and increase crop production. If it is done well, the fields will not need to be fallow in the future. "

Lacey was actually a little guilty, because he didn't know how those stinky things enriched the land, but Aurora's determined attitude inexplicably gave him confidence.

Anyway, the method was given by Aurora, and after investigation, he is just a tool for the master.

"Two meals are really included?" The village chief asked cautiously, as there was no such thing in the past.

In the territory, everyone in the castle is worthy of fear by the slave farmers. They are closest to the baron. If they say something bad, they may be punished.

That's what the previous lord did.

Butler Lacey nodded as gently as possible. He originally looked down on these slave farmers, but Aurora was right. Without slave farmers, the people in the castle would have no food and clothing.

People get along with each other.

Aurora wants to treat everyone equally.

If he wants to be a confidant, he can't do what he wants.

"Yes, two meals are included. The construction period is five or six days. It is best to start today. The job is to clean up the dirt under the castle."

The village head is submissive on the surface, but in fact, he was amazed when he met the servant of the castle so gentle for the first time.

Sure enough, the higher the class, the better the upbringing, not at all like the tax officials who come to collect taxes every year.A job with a bigger fart is a look of contempt.

It's just cleaning up the cesspit, and it's okay to smell. Is there anyone in the village who doesn't smell.

If it can really increase the fertility of the field, he must support it.

"Housekeeper Lacey, wait a moment, I'll call for someone right away." The village chief immediately informed, and Li Nong turned pale when he heard that he was going to work.

No matter how nice the village chief said, they panicked.

Every year's hard labor has to go to half life, who knows if the lord really distributes meals.

"Butler Lacey said it himself. Everyone knows that the new baron will not promise easily again. He will definitely do what he says. You don't have to worry about it." There is not much difference between early and late.

Now I can still cover two meals. I don’t know if there will be such benefits in the future. No matter how urgent the spring planting is, it will not be short of five or six days.

The weather is still cold, so a little warmer is more suitable for planting.

If it's really too late, at worst, people from the village will help together, and the next time they work, they will share the working hours.In order to live, everyone came here like this.

Even with the guarantee of the village head, the peasants still don't want to work hard.

In the end, Lacey ordered sternly that no random spring planting is allowed in this year's fields, and fertilizers must be added to start.

This is not what Aurora said, but Lacey can only use this method to accomplish this matter.

I planned to pick five or six people, but Lacey was very upset because Linong's hesitation delayed him all morning, so he quickly picked more than ten.

Both men and women.

The grace time given by Aurora is not much, and it must be completed within five days.

Lacey first asked some people to dig deep pits a little further away from the castle to create a place for sealed fermentation. Some of the knights knew simple earth magic, which could harden the soil and change the shape of the stones to form a fermentation tank.

Once the place is dug, the knights can come and help.

Fertilizers are best sealed and fermented, and centralized processing can save a lot of time.

Because of the rush to make fertilizer, Lacey split up three groups of people, one group went to the kiln to burn quicklime, one group dug pits, and the last group cleaned up the dirt under the castle.

The work was urgent and intense, if Lacey hadn't been tempted by the temptation to get the meal before going home, they would not have moved so fast.

It lasted until it was dark, and more than a dozen people gathered at the kiln. Using the heat outside the kiln, Lacey ordered people to boil water and let everyone go to take a bath.

Be sure to brush it clean.

Fifteen slave peasants were forced to take a bath with a dazed look on their faces. Men and women washed separately, flushing basin after basin of water.

Until all the dirt is washed away, and the stench can't be smelled even close.

Lacey gave them a linen jacket that was convenient for work, saying that it was work clothes and was used for changing and washing.

The slave peasants looked at each other, unexpectedly, the castle laborers gave out clothes, and they all changed into new clothes. Everyone couldn't help touching the sleeves and corners of their clothes, which were not soft, with a happy expression on their faces.

Even if the sackcloth is worthless, a few coppers are needed.

Lacey was expressionless, "Because this job is special, Madam likes to be clean, you must come here to wash after daily labor, if I see you don't wash, don't blame me for not giving out meals."

Threatening words are very useful, all the farmers said that they must wipe themselves clean after hard labor.

Then there is food.

Because it was too late, Lacey shared a bowl of stewed beans directly, and ordered them to arrive before dawn tomorrow, and sent them home by the way.

Linong held a wooden bowl full of soft and rotten beans, looking at the thick food inside, it was their daily food at home.

They thought that butler Lacey said that two meals were included, but it was just porridge, the watery kind.They were mentally prepared to tighten their pants and finish the hard labor.

On the way, Linong asked, "Did our baron get rich?"

"Shh, don't say it, it's not good to be heard later."

Linong had a good opinion of the former baron, and he thought the current baron was similar.

But the current baron is much more majestic than the former baron.

Many people have seen how the baron killed monsters. He cut off two monsters' heads with one sword.

That stalwart figure made them tremble when they spoke.

"The baron and the baroness are both good people, and they will give out food tomorrow." A young-looking slave farmer didn't think much about the nobles in the territory, he only knew that the promised meals were really delivered.

He stared at his bowl of beans, his eyes full of confusion, he was too hungry.

Young people under eighteen are the time to eat poor old men.But his parents are gone, and he needs to support the family.

The other peasants were aware of his family's situation, and said pitifully, "Yes, he is a good person, and he will definitely distribute food tomorrow."

The young Linong nodded and hugged it tightly, for fear of accidentally knocking it over.

Back home, the boy showed the stewed beans that he got today, and the young siblings hugged their elder brother like a bird waiting to be fed.

They were so happy that they could get extra meals.

The soft and rotten bean stew was the feast of the three orphans.

They usually only eat black bread.A piece of black bread has to be eaten in three meals, not even three full.
