Lord of Rot

Chapter 51 Volume!
"Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!"

"Be quick with your hands and feet, do you want to massage the wood?"

The dwarf roared loudly, while the half-grown boy standing in front of him worked silently.

Others did not dare to mess with this carpenter. Everyone knows that the lord is very optimistic about the dwarf carpenter. Not only carpenters, masons, blacksmiths, and even bards are extraordinary in the eyes of the lord. To imitate the words of the lord: "What is most important? Talent!"

The lord appreciates talents with special skills very much. People often get better working conditions than usual because they know a little bit of masonry work or small handicrafts. Not only civilians, but also some slaves can get different advantages because of this.

"So angry?" Li Qi walked over.

The dwarf carpenter, who was aggressive just now and scolded someone as soon as he caught him, immediately bent down when the lord came, and he was almost knee-high: "Good day, my lord."

Li Qi looked at the young man who was working silently. As far as he knew, a carpenter would not allow outsiders to intervene in these tasks.

The young man just called out to Mr. Li when Li Qi came over, and continued to work in a dull manner.

"He has a sharp nose, my newly recruited apprentice." The dwarf carpenter said with a smile, and looked completely different from the one who was about to fly up just now: "You have too much work, I have to find an apprentice to help with the work."

"And enjoy your married life." Li Qi smiled.

A dwarf who works from dawn to dusk every day has no time to fight with his new wife at night, so it is reasonable to hire an apprentice to help him with work.

The carpenter grinned, understanding what the lord meant.

Li Qi is very happy to have craftsmen get married here, and having a family means that there is care, and talents are not easy to lose.

Craftsmen are scarce everywhere. If they feel uncomfortable in the porcupine collar, or make enough money, they are likely to pat their ass and leave.

It's as if Li Qi used double the price to poach a few skilled craftsmen, and now he is like a thief in defense of Iron Rock City. If it weren't for the business of small pills every month, he believed that Becky, the "heartbeater", would have arranged for it a long time ago. The knight under her crotch rushed over.

The construction of the water mill continued, and Li Qi just came to check it as usual. After all, he had just eaten and hadn't digested much.

The dwarf continued to reprimand his new apprentice. Even if he was scolded, others would be envious, wishing it could be him instead.

After a while, Ake limped back with the support of his youngest son.

"My lord!" When Ake saw Li Qi, he always maintained a humble attitude.

"Joe should bring back a batch of new slaves in two days," Li Qi nodded and said.

Dongxia does not restrict the purchase of slaves, but the premise is that they do not buy many slaves. Li Qi also knows that his purchase of slaves will be stopped by other lords in a short time. Every lord is very concerned about the population of the territory, and slaves treat them It is cumbersome, but it is also the most quickly pulled up meat wall cannon fodder at the beginning of the war, that is, it is too much trouble, and you are not happy to give it to others, and you would rather let the slaves rot and stink there.

For this reason, Li Qi has already ordered Joe the "lucky boy" to go to other big towns to buy, but judging from the few purchases, it should not be long before the porcupine collar was blacklisted.

It is estimated that the population of the most porcupine collars will be around 600, and it will be extremely difficult to buy slaves.

Slave traders generally have aristocratic backgrounds, and it would be fine if Li Qi had a good relationship with any nobleman, but the Porcupine family did not engage in sophistication and did not form cliques.

"Just in time for the spring planting, arrange the new slaves to open up wasteland and farm, and don't cause trouble." He continued to tell the lame Ake: "I know that it will be difficult to manage when there are too many people. If you have any troubles, go to Glenn , he knows what to do."

He has only strong farmers under his command, but a whip that cracks the air can still buy the loyalty of the slaves in a short time.

Ake nodded again and again. The recent introduction of [Work Points] has indeed made the lazy slaves more active in their work, but with so many work points, there are more wolves and less meat, and conflicts are inevitable.

Before the work-point system was implemented, the slaves were lazy in places where people could not see them. Anyway, everyone had food to eat, and it didn’t matter how much they worked. Now that the work-point system is implemented, the lord no longer cares about the food. Everyone wants to If you work hard to eat enough, you can only work hard to earn work points.

The advantage is that the work is fast. Whether it is the construction of new houses or the repair of river channels, the speed is almost twice as fast as before.

There are also shortcomings, volume, lifeless volume!If you rush to do the work, it is easy to catch fire.

If you have work to do, I don’t have to do it. If I don’t have to do it, I don’t want to do it well. If everyone is unhappy, then fight. This is why the slaves have been rioting recently.

Often at this time, Ake will go out in person, first whip two whips, and then deduct work points. The slaves are honest, but Ake feels that many people look at him with red eyes, as if they are ready to pounce on him at any time. kill him.

For slaves, making money is not practical, but work points are their life!
Li Qi added: "The people in the castle are very busy now, I am going to ask Simon to choose a few maids, Akeke can try it, Simon's temper is very stubborn, I can't guarantee that Akeke will be hired .”

Ake immediately raised his head and went to the castle to be a maid, which means that his daughter can get rid of the status of a slave. The noble lord will not let slaves wander around in the castle, just like Ake himself, although he is a good hand to help Li Qi take care of the slaves , but was never allowed to approach the castle. He has great power, but he is a slave, and his status is naturally lower than that of commoners.

As for the butler?That harelip, the lord has already spoken, does he dare not agree?
But thinking about it, it seems very possible, because from the chatter of the maids who came to serve meals in the castle, it can be heard that he is an old-fashioned, stubborn bastard with aristocratic etiquette.

As a slave, Akeke might not have much advantage even if the lord offered an amnesty.

"Thank you, sir!" Ake knelt on the ground and burst into tears of gratitude.

Li Qi originally planned to tell Ake his idea of ​​choosing a knight retinue. His two sons are tall and handsome, and they can control bugs. Although they are only a few steps away, as time goes by, maybe It can also reproduce the sea of ​​insects in the memory of the iron hoof knight.

After thinking about it, he chose to suppress it for the time being. Candy can’t be fed enough at one time, and he doesn’t have a knight instructor under his command to help with training. It’s enough to paint big cakes once or twice, there’s no need to paint every day, eat when you’re so hungry Those who don't get the cake may temporarily build a street lamp and hang him on it.

After a few more instructions, Li Qi left on horseback.

He immediately ordered his eldest son to call the little girl who worked to earn work points. That's right, he would also let his own children earn work points.
Although he has a headache because of the work, on the other hand, Ake is also greedy for these petty profits.

Soon, news spread that the castle was recruiting new maids and servants.
