The super lord of the island

Chapter 67 067. McGonagall's Proposal

"Master, how about I come up later?"

Butler Mag looked at the maid Irina who had changed her clothes, and knew that he had come at the wrong time.

"Cough~ It's okay, you came just in time, and you are about to let Elena find you, tell me, what happened."

After such a long period of training, Mag's ability as a housekeeper has been fully tempered, and Magni summons characters systematically, with uncompromising loyalty, so Jialan gave Mag great authority to manage Aurora Village, and can handle almost all affairs on the spot .

In this situation, the importance of allowing Castle McGray to report the situation in person is self-evident. As for Irina's dance, it's not too late to enjoy it at night.

After getting the lord's nod, McGonagall began to talk.

"My lord, Maihe Malya suggested to me that the rainy season will last for three or four months, and if so many people are idle in the village, I'm afraid it will cause trouble, so it's better to find something to do."

"Oh? Not long after a few slaves were executed last time, did someone dare to make trouble?"

Jia Lan couldn't help admiring the courage of these people.

"My lord, you misunderstood, the thing is like this, they found out..."

McGonagall leaned forward and whispered something in a low voice, and even Irina who was beside her couldn't hear the content of the conversation clearly.

After whispering something, Mag took a few steps back and stood still, while Jialan fell into deep thought.

In fact, what Mag said was not a big deal. The slaves ate and lived together. Although men and women were separated, they were all in the village after all. Before, everyone went out early and returned late, and the work was heavy. After returning to the village, everyone basically fell asleep. Communication is minimal.

Now that the rainy season is leisurely, there is no worry about eating and drinking, and the life is stable, and there is no entertainment to resolve it. It is inevitable that there will be some hook-ups, especially when the two are husband and wife, and they often appear side by side in the woodland near the sea.

Jialan knows that the relationship between men and women is not a bad thing. On the contrary, there are some sayings that men and women can work together without being tired. Not many human resources.

So no matter what, we must find a way to prevent this phenomenon from continuing to expand, and we cannot directly order to prohibit this simple and rude way.

Only by respecting human nature can we make better use of human nature.

If you want to become a qualified lord, it is not advisable to treat the head and feet with a headache.

"We can't let them do nothing anymore..."

Jia Lan looked at Mag, "Since you brought it up, you should already have an idea, let me hear it."

"My lord is wise. Yesterday, my subordinates went to Maihe and the others to discuss it. The slaves have recovered long enough. Restoring normal work and rest will free them from thinking about other things. It is the best solution."

"Well, but what can they do with the frequent rains during the monsoon season?"

"Although there is no immediate need in the village, there will definitely be a problem of insufficient housing in the future. We can expand the scope of Aurora Village and build more wooden houses."

McGonagall spoke her mind.

The development of Aurora Village must be based on population driving resources, resources driving markets, markets driving profits, and using profits to attract more people, forming a virtuous circle.

In this process, the biggest role of Aurora Village is to carry the population, living, living, entertainment, consumption, etc. will all rely on Aurora Village to complete.

With the current size of Aurora Village, there are only 32 stone houses in the area, which simply cannot accommodate too many residents. If there were not more than 100 slaves crammed into a few stone houses, the village would have been full.

After having an idea, it seems clear which aspect of Aurora Village's next construction should be carried out.

"You're right, Mag! Aurora Village is too small. It's okay for so many slaves to live together for a short period of time, but it's not appropriate to continue like this.

It is necessary for us to build exclusive wooden houses for slaves, and allocate better single-family wooden houses to freedmen who have escaped from slavery, and even pay them wages! "

Thinking of this step, the rigid thinking suddenly became clear, as if foreseeing the day when Aurora Village would become Aurora Town.

"My lord, don't be impatient. Converting slaves to people is not a day to cook. The construction of the territory requires their dedication."

"Frozen three feet is not a day's cold, I naturally know."

Jialan calmed down and began to think about possible problems in the process of expanding the village.

"Is there enough wood?"

"Well...the lumberyard has accumulated a lot of wood, and a small part was used to build public toilets, and the rest is enough for use."

"It's raining constantly outside, how to do outdoor work?"

"Collect shrub branches to make simple raincoats and rain hats. At the same time, let Wali make cold-dispelling decoction. Take a bowl before and after work to dispel cold and damp. With these two preparations, light rain will not hinder."

Mag thought for a while and gave a solution.

"It's feasible. If this is the case, then I will leave the construction of the wooden house to you. Knight Carl and I will be responsible for the safety issues."

During the rainy season, there will be powerful monsters wandering deep in the forest. Even the back of the village is not absolutely safe. It is necessary to do a good job of investigation and early warning, and they can be killed if necessary.

In fact, when he learned from Karl that there were high-level monsters such as hyenadons entrenched near the village, Jialan began to hunt and kill monsters to obtain materials.

You must know that in the two transactions he had with Philip, the monster leather and magic core accounted for most of the income. If there is no hunting, the income of the next transaction will drop sharply.

It just so happened that Mag had a new suggestion for the development of Aurora Village, and Jialan simply combined the two and implemented them together, since there was no conflict anyway.

……

……

After the lord issued a new order, the entire Aurora Village mobilized one after another.

The male slaves went out to collect shrub branches or rattan suitable for weaving, and handed them to the female slaves to hand-knit raincoats. In order to ensure waterproof performance, soft plant fibers such as brown hair, thatch, and bark were added into the weaving process.

The raincoat made in this way is almost the same as the coir raincoat made by the ancients of Blue Star where Jialan lived in his previous life. Although it is not 100% waterproof, at least it will not affect his actions due to rain.

Apprentices in the pharmacy where Wally works collect corresponding cold-dispelling herbs, such as turmeric, pepper seeds, perilla grass... Anyway, this forest is primitive enough, and almost all common herbs can be found here.

Regarding how to build houses, plans to expand the scope of Aurora Village have also been initially drawn up.

The first step is to choose a site.

Considering various factors, Jialan decided to expand to the east. After all, among the eight directions around Aurora Village, the east is the most ideal place to expand.

As far as the only disadvantage is that it is close to the sea in the east, and the available area is only 1.5 kilometers from the village to the beach. This area is a prime location, and it is a bit wasteful to use it to build wooden houses for slaves.

Considering the actual situation of the poor and the poor, we have to use it first, and then relocate or renovate if necessary in the future.

The second step is to build the fence.

Delimit the area to be developed with new fencing.

The third step is to build a wooden house inside the fence.

The plan was very simple, and after a few days of preparation, the construction officially started.
