I'm an Aristocrat, but I've Started a Farming System

The sale of serfs is not illegal or against the rules. It happens in every noble territory. However, for some big nobles, this is a low-level way of making money, which is commonly known as being unworthy of publicity.

Ordinary nobles don't care about this. As long as they can make money, it doesn't matter. And although the big nobles look down on it, they won't do anything to stop or ridicule it, because they also need serfs to work.

Sheep Town and Pea Town are not big towns and have a single industry, but they have serf markets, and serfs can be sold at regular intervals. This can only prove that the noble lords of the towns are conducting serf transactions and sales on a certain scale.

This would be of some help to Lin En, otherwise he would have to go elsewhere if he wanted to buy more serfs.

The purchase of serfs needs to be continued, according to the standards I mentioned before. Linn said, If there are serfs with skills and craftsmanship, as long as the price is not too outrageous, we must buy them.

Karis nodded and expressed his understanding. The last time the master bought so many serfs, he thought the number was too much and could not support it given the current situation of the town. Only now did he realize how short-sighted he was.

If there are more serfs, there will be more people to work.

Sir, those serfs have been training every day recently, but because of this, their efficiency has dropped a lot when doing other things. Old Tom said they are too slow. What should we do?

Lynn was not too surprised by what Karis said. After all, a person's energy is limited, and it is impossible to do too many things in one day. People in the militia undergo training in the morning, and in the afternoon they have to cut down trees and cultivate land. Land, I have to learn to read and write again in the evening.

This is still the result of providing meat porridge, otherwise, they would not have the energy to do other things.

The best way is to completely transform them into professional warriors, that is, out of work. They only need training and don't need to do chores, but it is impossible to do this due to the current situation in the town.

According to the normal ratio of a person's off-the-job training, if he wants to achieve a stable and sustainable development state, it must be at least one to one hundred, strictly speaking, one to fifty, and the ultimate state is one to thirty or fifteen.

Even in the extreme situation, it mainly occurs when fighting the enemy. Such planning has to be carried out, and the duration must not be too long, otherwise it will completely collapse.

The crop production in Ash Town is still too low, and there are not enough gold coins. At least for now, they cannot be allowed to stop production, otherwise the virtuous cycle they finally entered will completely collapse.

Let's do this for now. Linn replied.

Karis wrote down, One more thing. Old Tom told me that the new serfs were not active in their work and were a little disobedient. Such people should be hanged. It was you who bought them. When I came back, I was provided with porridge every day, but they didn’t know how to be grateful.”

Karis said angrily. In his opinion, only by hanging a few disobedient serfs can others know what the lord's anger is.

Lin En waved his hand, Don't think about hanging them. You also said that I bought them with money. It would be a pity to hang them. Besides, a temporary threat will only make them afraid for a while. Then they forget that if they want to change the situation, they need other methods.”

Karis made a gesture of listening carefully, but did not wait for the follow-up words.

When I go there tomorrow, you will know what to do. Lin En gave up.

The next day!

Lin En came down from upstairs, and the tiger cub followed him, running very fast with his short legs, until he came to the dining table, waiting to drink milk.

Jimmy brought the hot milk over, and the tiger cub immediately started licking it, getting milk all over his head.

Good day, sir.

Yeah! Linn nodded and came to the yard. The saponin soap made yesterday had solidified, but the surface was not very smooth.

He took the soap out of the mold, waved his sword in his hand, and cut it into evenly sized pieces.

Linn took a piece, dipped it in water and used it. It felt like that. It didn't make much foam, but it was able to wash away the oil and stains, and both hands became smooth.

You will also use this saponin soap to wash your hands and clothes from now on. Linn ordered.

Maybe it was the success of making soap that made him feel better, and his appetite was very good. The meat in his stomach was constantly digested, and his physical quality was improved through the conversion of life seeds into energy.

Matthew in the yard looked at the hall with a thoughtful expression on his face.

Karis, arrange for a few people to make soap in batches. Instead of using olive oil, use other vegetable oils. The effect is acceptable. Make it and sell it as a product of Ashes Town.

After dinner, Linn explained the matter to Karis. Olive oil was used when making it yesterday, and the cost of this oil was still too high.

Karis has used saponin soap and knows the convenience of soap. Sir, I believe the saponin soap you make will be liked by many people.

Lin En shook his head, Don't be so sure yet. After all, many people don't take a shower. We will talk about it after selling it. Now let's go to Old Tom's place.

Thanks to the increase in serfs, both cutting down trees and reclaiming land have achieved good results.

Linn came here and saw that a large area of ​​forest trees ahead had been cut down. The trees were transported to planned locations for processing, waiting for houses to be built later. As for the branches, they were thrown everywhere.

Large tracts of land have been reclaimed, part of which has been cultivated and planted with crops.

A serf came from a distance carrying a bucket, poured water into the ground, and then went to fetch water again.

The serfs each have their own affairs, but the differences can be clearly seen.

Old Tom's group of serfs were highly motivated. Whether they were cutting down trees or clearing land, their speed was faster than that of later serfs.

As for the newly arrived serfs, the overall impression they gave was that of laziness, weakness, numbness, and a sense of muddle along.

Lin En handed over the management of these serfs to Old Tom. It seems that he did a lot of things, but it did not have any good results.

Karis frowned on the side, A serf is a serf. The adults give them opportunities, but they don't know how to seize them.

Go call them over!

Karis immediately walked over and shouted: The lord is here, put down what you are doing and come over here.

Only then did the serfs notice, and they quickly trotted to the Lord and knelt down.
