Chapter 77

"Master, this is the message of those serfs."

Karis put a stack of parchment on the table, "Most of the serfs here can only farm, a few have certain skills, and a few have certain reading and writing skills."

Lynn took it over and looked at it carefully.

"A carpenter who can read and write, a beekeeper, a cloth dyer." Lynn murmured.

After reading it, he looked up and saw the serfs were waiting outside the yard.

And the panel in front of him also changed.

"Task 30: Increase population, task completion rewards talents [long-term task 30/0] (completed) the next stage (50/[-])"

[Task Reward: Beekeeper, Excellent Carpenter]

Lynn nodded slightly, it seems that the reward should be on the two of them.

The status of an excellent beekeeper is very important, even more comfortable than ordinary freemen. This is a rare occupation, because bees are aggressive, and they will sting people if they don't pay attention.

Beekeepers need to understand the habits of bees and how to collect honey, which is not something that ordinary people can do casually.

In particular, there is a kind of honey wine among the nobles, which is deeply loved by the upper class nobles. Most nobles have no money to buy it, and the main raw material of this wine is honey.

Ashes Town is located in the Great Sunset Forest, surrounded by a large number of flowers, and it is also possible to plan places to plant flowers, which is especially suitable for the life of bees.

Once the bees are successfully raised, not only can you drink mead, but you can also add honey to your usual diet.

As for the excellent carpenter, I don't know what he can do at the moment, but he can follow Farr to make waterwheels.

Lynn tapped his fingers on the table, wondering: "Are there so many capable people among the serfs? They master a craft, so they should be free people."

Karis replied, "I asked, these people who possessed the ability were all free citizens before, but they were later sold into serfs because of some things."

Lynn probably understood what Karis said.

"Taxes!" Lynn muttered twice.

"Master, how should we distribute?"

"These incompetent people were sent to Old Tom. Some were used to cut down trees, some were used to reclaim the land, and young and strong people were found to mine the mining area."

"Mining area?" Karis was puzzled.

Lynn smiled and said, "Where do you think those potions came from?"

"Isn't it the Mage Tower?" Karis replied. Lynn told him something about the Mage Tower earlier, and he swore he would never say it.

Karis was extremely moved by the master's trust.

"Outside the mage tower is a mining area, where I saw iron ore."

"Ah?" Karis' eyes widened in shock, "Is this true?"

Afterwards, he slapped himself, "Sir, you definitely won't joke about this kind of thing."

"Mine area, even the Earl doesn't have many mines."

Karis was really surprised. As a housekeeper, he naturally understood the importance of iron ore. If a large amount of iron ore can be mined, whether it is for personal use or for sale, it will be a huge fortune.

but
Carliss suddenly thought of something, "Master, iron ore involves too many interests, we may."

"I can't protect it, can I?" Lynn seemed to know what he wanted to say.

Although everything in the territory belongs to the lord, if you leave the territory to sell it, you will face many problems.

"So, I'm going to set up a militia." Lynn said little by little the plan he had made long ago.

"Find out those serfs who are adult without disabilities and diseases, including the original serfs, and I will train them."

Karis hadn't come out of the surprise in the mining area, and was shocked again, "Master, training serfs is not in line with noble behavior, and they don't even know how to read, how can they train them to ride horses and use swords."

In his opinion, the militia formed by the lord is just like the knights. They are all for the protection of the territory, but generally speaking, those who can enter it are civilians and above, and serfs do not have this qualification.

These serfs didn't even know their real age, so it was simply impossible for them to learn how to use a sword.

Lynn glanced at him, "We don't have enough civilians, so we can only use serfs. As for the noble behavior, do you think the things I have done before are in line with it?"

Carlisle thought about it, then shook his head.

"That's it. Here, don't care about the behavior of nobles, as long as it is useful, as for how to train, that's my business. By the way, you can also tell the common people in the town. It's best for them to be willing."

Lynn paused, and continued: "Tell those who meet the requirements, as long as you participate in the training and persevere, you can drink a bowl of meat porridge every day."

Karis' eyes widened again.

“our food”

Lynn interrupted him, "Now that the trade has been established, there is no need to worry about spending money but not making money."

Caris kept her mouth shut.

"In addition, those who have crafts, let them display their abilities again." Lynn pointed to the parchment, "This Naiji, I will assign it to Farr, and let the two of them study the waterwheel. I hope that as soon as possible Made it.

As for the beekeeper, try to meet his reasonable requirements. "

Lynn looked at several tailors, and had other thoughts in his mind, "Let's go to Nezel's house later."

"Okay, let's make arrangements."

Karis bowed his head and walked out.

Lin En continued to look at the parchment. To be honest, the quality of the serfs purchased this time was quite good. He did not expect that there would be so many people with skills, which greatly improved the basic system of the town.

With more people, he can gradually implement the plan he made before.

However, these people are still not enough. If he wants to speed up, he needs more serfs. Most of the serfs in Sheep Town have already been bought by him. If he wants to continue buying, he will need to wait for time, or go to other towns.

Lynn's fingers kept tapping on the table, thinking about how to increase the population.

Carliss came back, "Master, it has been arranged. Those who have the skills, because there are no tools, I will let them cut down the trees first, and let them come back after they are made."

Lynn nodded, approving of Carliss' arrangement.

"Come on, let's go to Nezel."

Walking on the street, Lynn suddenly asked, "Caris, do you think these freedmen who have mastered skills are willing to teach others their abilities?"

Karis replied, "No, because it means taking away their customers."
