I, a fallen nobleman, started the farming system

Chapter 50 Household Registration System
On the table in the castle hall, there are a lot of papyrus and a small amount of parchment, which are full of words.

After two days, they collected the information of everyone in Ashes Town and recorded all of them on it.

Carliss said: "Master, we are running out of papyrus, and there is only a little parchment left."

In fact, he didn't quite understand the purpose of the young master's doing this. In his opinion, it was meaningless to waste a lot of paper and write down the information of the people.

Anyway, you just need to know how many people there are and what they do roughly. If you really want to find someone when you encounter something, you just need to find someone who knows them.

"Yeah!" Lynn nodded.

The tasks on the panel have changed.

"Task [-]: As a lord, you should know how many people are in your territory and what they are doing, count them, and reward a bag of potatoes after completion. (Completed) [Whether to receive the reward]"

"Master, why are you doing this?" Karis couldn't help asking.

Lin En rested his hands on his chin and looked at the words on the papyrus. There were two purposes. One was to complete the task, and the other was to gain a detailed understanding of the people in the territory.

"It's a normal thing to know the situation of the people." Lynn replied casually.

Karis always felt that a lord didn't need to waste time on such unimportant matters, but he didn't know how to refute, so he opened his mouth slightly for a while, and didn't say a word in a daze.

Lynn took the papyrus and looked at it one by one.

According to statistics, there are 310 townspeople in Ashes Town, and the majority are freemen. On the contrary, there are not many serfs, which is completely different from other territories.

Generally speaking, serfs did not have their own personal freedom, and everything they owned belonged to the lord, even their descendants.

One generation was a serf, and another generation was a serf.

Commoners need to be paid for doing things, but serfs work, noble lords do not need to pay, which leads to the serfs' enthusiasm is very low, and they will not move unless they are whipped.

One, two, or ten serfs work slowly, so the lord will continue to buy serfs to speed up the speed. Anyway, the price of serfs is cheap, and you can buy as many as you want.

The situation in Ashes Town is quite special. Before the Warcraft came, it was still a wealthy town, and there were several villages under its management. The combined population was more than a thousand people. Since the Warcraft came, many people were killed. .

Dead and running, the number of people in Ashes Town has dropped drastically, while the free people can walk freely, but the serfs can't. After coming down a few times, the number of serfs has dropped greatly.

The land suffered from the so-called curse. The serfs had nothing to eat, and many of them died of starvation. Fortunately, old Tom ventured into the forest to find a lot of mushrooms, and only a few of them survived.

But later, some serfs were burned alive by the mayor Raff in the name of being cursed.

After so many incidents, the number of serfs dropped sharply and could not be replenished, resulting in such a situation.

Lynn thinks that there are still more than 300 people in Ash Town, which is not bad. Many of these people are still young, and some of them have good craftsmanship.

Basic jobs such as food farmers, vegetable farmers, herdsmen, and hunters, as well as artisans, winemakers, oil presses, bakers, cobblers, stonemasons, carpenters, etc.

The number of craftsmen was far beyond Lynn's imagination. He didn't expect that a remote town would be small and well-equipped.

According to them, some of them can only do the most basic work. It can also be said that they are apprentice-level craftsmen who have not yet reached the level of formal training, such as bakers, cobblers, oil presses and so on.

The reason for this is that they haven't learned a bit yet, and there are not enough materials for them to practice.

Even so, Lynn is very satisfied. If you don’t count, you don’t know. After counting, if you encounter any problems in the future, just go to the relevant craftsman.

Lin En put down the papyrus, "That's right, the statistics are complete, Carliss, in the future when the trade route opens, we will definitely buy a large number of serfs, no matter how many there are, we will record all their information and put them together."

Carliss asked: "But this will waste a lot of papyrus. With the money to buy paper, we can buy a few more serfs, and it is not very useful to record it."

Lynn shook his head, took out a piece of papyrus, and said: "This is written on a stonemason named Kumas. If we had known that he had this skill, we would have called him over when we were repairing the castle. Don't have to wait that long."

He placed another piece of papyrus on the table, "This Mrs. Keeney once worked in a bakery in a big town and is proficient in four methods of baking bread. If hired here, will it improve the life of the castle?"

"Master, you are right, it is indeed like this." Carliss said, "In this case, if we lack something, then we can ask these people to come and help, so as not to waste time."

Lynn: At least not too stupid.

He stacked the papyrus papers together, "Since the statistics are carried out door-to-door, and so much paper is used, it can be composed of books. From now on, this method of counting the population will be called household registration statistics."

Karis murmured twice, "Household registration statistics, household registration statistics, this is a good name."

Lynn smiled, "Go talk to Farr and ask him to help me build a bookshelf for these papyrus with recorded information."

"I'm going!" Carliss left.

Lin En returned to the study on the second floor, and the tiger cub was sleeping soundly in the den, purring.

He chose to receive the reward.

A linen bag appeared out of nowhere and fell to the ground.

The bag is not small, and it is full of potatoes. It is relatively uniform in size, equivalent to the palm size of half an adult.

Lynn took out a potato with a smooth surface and slightly green tops on both sides. He cut a piece with a dagger, and the taste of the potato came out immediately, and there was a faint white layer on the surface of the dagger.

The quality of the potatoes was good, and the quantity was beyond Lynn's imagination. The high-quality wheat seeds last time were the same as the potatoes this time.

With so many potatoes, if each one is cut into pieces, it can be divided into at least ten pieces, so this bag of potatoes is enough to plant a large area of ​​land.

After the potatoes grow and bear fruit, one potato block can bear a lot of potatoes. After all, this is a high-yield crop. In this way, the food problem will be solved.

Moreover, potatoes can also be boiled, baked as a meal, and fried as a vegetable, which is a good thing.
