Transcendent Noble

The little snow started to clear, and the soft sunlight passed through this sparse forest and sprinkled on the ground with a little snow and ice, causing cold fog to rise in the woodland.

Forty sturdy men, holding iron axes and hacksaws, are walking through the cold fog. Thick and tight snow rabbit leather boots step on the muddy ground, splashing patches of snow. .

Over half a hundred years old, Maureen, who has gray hair, sighed warmly into the palm of his hand, rubbing hard on his frozen fingers, and the air in the snowy days is always very cold and humid.

However, the village leader appointed by Victor was full of joy and expectation. He knew that the season of cold and humid water was about to pass, and the season of All Living Things to Recover was approaching quietly. These branches with snow and ice have even sprouted buds.

Today, Maureen and his team members are tasked with clearing part of this grove, because Lord Victor is planning a village on a clearing close to the woodland. And around the village, the open area of ​​the Land of Three Arrows must be maintained.

"Let's start from here! Big guy put some effort today, finish it early, go back, I will use work points to ask everyone to eat hot pot!" After seeing the distance, Maureen began to greet everyone to work.

"Okay!"

"Team leader, speak for words! I want venison pot!"

"Venison? Don't be afraid to make up Damn you animal! This time Nelson Captain led the team to Black Castle Town, but you didn’t have your share."

"haha..."

Treating guests to the hot pot, these villagers were all excited. This is a delicacy invented by fief lord. It is delicious and warm, but it can only be tasted in a small canteen and spends work points.

Victor’s opening of a small canteen was a last resort. Just a few days ago, when Lilia reported to him on territorial affairs, he was surprised to learn that in the past month or so, the work points issued by the camp turned out to be Up to more than one hundred thousand.

Victor promised that one work point will be exchanged for one copper sol, so Victor needs to pay more than one hundred thousand copper sol to the people. According to the currency exchange ratio of Rand Empire, 36 copper sols are exchanged for 1 silver sol, and 36 silver sols are exchanged for 1 golden sol. More than one hundred thousand copper sols are equivalent to nearly 100 golden sols.

One hundred Kinsoul Victor certainly can afford it, but the problem is that this is only a work point issued for more than a month. If it continues to grow at this rate in the future, he will get rid of it.

Victor carefully reviewed the work points record with the help of Lilia, and had to admit that he overestimated his management level and underestimated the craze of the people’s desire for work points.

The achievements of the camp are obvious to all. Over the past 50 days, two layers of eight-meter-high iron oak fences have been erected in the camp, 8 arrow towers have been built, barracks and warehouses have been built. , Mills, cisterns, blacksmith shops, canteens, wine cellars and Victor’s offices and experimental workshops. Apart from this, the enthusiastic leaders also cultivated nearly 2,000 acres of land, cultivated nearly two hundred ground lizards, and harvested more than 100 ground lizard eggs every day. Recently, under the stimulation of the Victor team’s incentives, the leaders The group started to breed wild boars, yellow sheep, and short-tailed deer, and even caught three swiftbirds! And all the results are based on the production team's work points system.

In the human world, leading the people to work for the lord is all for nothing. If the lord is lazy, the lord will teach them with a whip. Victor snorts disdainfully on such a rude management method, which he promotes. From an efficiency point of view, the work points system can be said to be very successful. The problem is that Victor did not carefully measure the amount of work points allocated and his actual ability to pay, which caused such an embarrassing situation.

As a lord, Victor does not need to rush to exchange work points with the leader. What he needs most now is Kinsall, because he has already started producing homunculus.

The 50000 Golden Crow Victor obtained from the York family has left about 29,000. According to the plan, he intends to produce, 15 alchemy assistants, 15 alchemy militias, and 10 alchemy Golden Crow crows. It needs 26,000 Kinsoul, so he still has less than 3,000 Kinsoul on his hands. This little money is very limited for a lord.

Making money has become his most urgent desire, and before that, Victor must solve the credit crisis caused by the issue of work points.

Work points are exchanged for Copper Sol. Victor can delay for a while, but not for too long, because when he was on Earth, the most annoying thing was being owed wages by the Boss.

So, the small canteen opened in the camp.

In the past, three meals a day for the leaders in the camp were provided free of charge by the house, and the food demand of these hundreds of people was still very large. Fortunately, Victor has a vast territory and abundant plant and animal resources. , Relying on gathering and hunting, can basically be self-sufficient. However, the taste of the food prepared by the restaurant is very monotonous, and there are only two kinds of stew and roast.

The small canteen opened in the camp provides delicacies prepared by various cooking methods, such as stir-fried, steamed, iron plate, random stew, and luscious purple cane wine. However, these need to be exchanged for work points.

Victor wants to use this method to reclaim work points.

In the beginning, Lingmin would rather drool outside the small canteen, gnawing on the free food provided by the restaurant, than to consume it in the small canteen. After Victor’s questioning, I realized that, it turns out that the civil servants don’t really care about the exchange of work points for copper sol, what they really care about is the exchange of work points for Fiefdom.

Victor had to once again assure the citizens that one mu of land can be obtained for one thousand work points, and the work points can continue to be used. The leaders only started to consume in the small canteen.

The experience of the small cafeteria made the residents extremely satisfied. Not only did they have food to enjoy, but also gave them a sense of superiority. This is because the free citizens who joined later do not have work points to come in and consume.

When dining represented rank and status, the business of the small cafeteria became more and more popular.

The success of the small cafeteria made Victor realize that it is not important whether the work points can be exchanged for copper sol, and his credit problem has been solved.

What Victor didn't expect was that the small canteen he founded has become the most high-end consumption and communication place in the human world after several decades. Of course, this is something.

Molin looked at the work of his men in a frenzy, and his heart was fiery.

He spit in the palm of his hand, holding a heavy iron axe, and slashing a low tree vigorously.

The hard work and the drifting life made Maureen's body a little rickety, but he felt that his body was full of strength.

It won’t be long before Maureen will become the first village head of Fief Lord.

Victor's territory is vast, almost 12,000 square kilometers. To control such a large territory, it is far from enough to rely on a camp, so the establishment of villages and roads has become an inevitable choice for Victor.

With the addition of some free citizens, the current population of Victor’s hill camp is close to 500 people. Although the camp can accommodate these people, as the weather gets warmer, Victor believes that more free people will migrate here. In order to attract more people, Victor decided to establish the first village.

Of course, the most important reason is to deal with the Chebman family's ambitions for this territory. The Chebman family, by pretending to be free people, has actually controlled the eastern part of the territory. Victor is worried that they will continue to use this method to build freedmen's strongholds around the hill camp. By that time, Victor will be trapped by them in this area and lose actual control of the territory.

So, in order to prevent this situation, Victor must first establish villages and strongholds in strategic locations around the hill camp.

Victor chose Maureen to be the head of the first village. In this regard, although the other villager group leaders were extremely envious, they did not have any objections. Because Maureen is the best carpenter in the camp. Every wooden building in the hill camp was designed and built by Morin, including those exquisite wood houses standing on the upper camp.

All the leaders believed that Zheng Maolin’s good craftsmanship made him favored by the lord lord, but Maureen knew that he was valued by fief lord because he had enough duty.

At the beginning, a total of six people were appointed by Victor as the village leader. Now two village leaders have lost their positions. It is because these two people began to use their power to oppress their subordinates. Members of, and then they were reported by Vice Group Leader. As for who reported it, no one can say clearly except fief lord, because the Vice Group Leader is held by ordinary villagers in turn.

Now, no villager group leader dares to bully his leaders blatantly. Who knows if this guy will report to the fief lord when he becomes the Vice Group Leader in the future.

Of course, there are some bad-hearted guys who started using the identity of Vice Group Leader to falsely accuse their own group leader in an attempt to replace their positions. Unfortunately, they were all spotted by fief lord. These people were kicked out of the work-point system after being lashed severely. This severe punishment has made all the people who have bad intentions been honest.

Leaders do not know how Victor saw through these lies, but they all think that fief lord is extremely wise and does not tolerate any deception.

Actually, Victor never believed in the content reported by the Vice Group Leader. He only recorded the content of the report and then compared it before and after. Only the content confirmed by each other will Victor take it as a fact.

Mo Lin slashed hard and finally cut off the thick-mouthed dwarf tree. He straightened up, wiped the sweat from his head, and looked around at the work progress of other villagers.

Now the number of people in this village group has increased from more than 20 people at the beginning to forty people. That's because the newly joined free people are also assigned. It's just that these later members are far less motivated to work than the old team members. After all, they have no work points to get. In order to motivate these people, Victor allows the team leader to recommend a new member with outstanding performance to join the work points system every month. It is a pity that no village leader has made recommendations to Victor so far, and Maureen is no exception.

What's the joke, just because these lowly lazy freedmen want to sit on an equal footing with us, let's live the next life!

For this situation, Victor has no good way for the time being. Human nature is like this.

Of course, there are very few free people who work hard and work hard. For example, there is one such new member under Maureen.

This is a tall and burly man. He is covered with knotted muscles, which seems to have endless strength. Ordinary villagers need to chop more than a dozen times to cut the short trees with the thickness of the mouth. But this guy only needs to chop twice and see how easy he looks like. Everyone believes that, in fact, he can do it with just one axe. Cut a dwarf tree.

It hasn’t been a few days since this big man joined Maureen’s group, but his demonstrated strength and efficiency made all the members look at him, because the work he did alone was equivalent to five The workload of the villagers. Therefore, he was rejected by all the team members. Even Maureen suppressed him intentionally or unintentionally, arranged some heavy work and dirty work for him, but he completed the work Maureen assigned him without any complaints.

In the face of the frigid irony and scorching satire of other team members, the big man just smiled naively, never quarreled with others, and rarely spoke, even if someone deliberately came to him to chat, he I couldn't hold back a word for a long time. Gradually, everyone understands that this big man is a fool!

This recognition made everyone sighed in relief, and then everyone’s attitude towards big men changed 180 degrees. After all, this super capable stupid big fellow allowed group members to work. It has become a lot easier.

With a sound of "ka-cha", another short tree was chopped down by the big man. This was already the seventh tree he had cut down.

Maureen saw this scene secretly nodded, the past few days he has been observing the performance of the big man. Although he is a little stupid, he is really hardworking and practical. He is a good at work. The most important thing is , He was very obedient and never compromised in completing the tasks Maureen ordered.

Mauren decided to observe the big man for a period of time. If he has been so obedient and working hard, 1 month later, he will recommend the big man to Mr. Victor to join the work-point system. It is best to let a big man join his village in the future.

"Big man, stop and rest." After the big man cut down 11 short trees, Maureen couldn't help being instructed.

This big man is good at everything, but he has a muscle. If Maureen doesn't tell him to rest, it is estimated that he will continue to work until the task is completed.

"Team leader, the big man has strength! If you really care about him, let him eat today!" An old team member teased sourly.

The corner of Maureen’s eyes is twitched. The big man still has the problem of being particularly edible. He eats more food alone than three. Two days ago, when Maureen was appointed as the substitute village chief by Victor, he asked his team members to go to the cafeteria to eat hot pot. As a result, he spent more than 500 work points, including more than 100 work points for food. Killed by a big man alone. At the end, the big man poured the entire bottom of the pot into his stomach because he was not full. . . . .

"Just by acting as a big man, I will let him eat today. I don't believe that he can't fill his stomach!" Maureen said with gnashing teeth.

They are all people who want to be the Elder of the village, how can they be stingy like ordinary leaders?

Although it is still very painful, Maureen feels that he needs to have the imposing manner of the village Elder. Anyway, his accumulated work points are the highest in the camp, as many as more than ten thousand points! Most of these were awarded by Victor when he designed camps and houses.

"haha! Let’s take a look today, how big a big man’s belly is!"

"I bet the big man will eat up to 300 work points for the team leader alone! "

While everyone was talking and laughing loudly, the big man stood up with a heavy wood axe in his hand and shouted: "Beware!"

Tone barely fell, a huge monster rushed out of a bush, facing the defenseless crowd.

This is a wild boar weighing more than 800 pounds. It has blood-red eyes, long fangs in its mouth, and arrows on its hind legs and buttocks. It clearly tells everyone that it is a head. Wounded and mad male boar!

Without any hesitation, this manic wild beast roared and rushed towards the nearest villager.

A male wild boar, once mad, is very terrifying. Its strength and weight can easily break a bushy bush, its long fangs are enough to pierce a person's body, and its skin is rough, flesh is thick, and it is very difficult for an ordinary person to kill it. The best way to face such a guy is to avoid it in advance.

However, this encounter was too sudden. Although the villager had begun to crawl around trying to avoid the wild boar's attack, it was too late.

Just when everyone lost one's head out of fear to all around, the big man moved.

In just an instant, the big man straddled a distance of more than ten meters and hit the back of the neck of the wild boar with the blunt face of the felling axe. With a muffled sound of "peng", the male wild boar's unstoppable charge came to an abrupt halt. Its extremely fat body was directly overwhelmed by the huge and unmatched force on the ground, and it could not even let out a whine, but it was killed directly.

The big man's attack like Mount Tai overwhelmingly stunned everyone.

After a while, the leader who was only a foot away from the wild boar fangs took the lead to react. He cried strangely, crawling back out with his hands and feet together for a long time. The encounter just now He was terrified.

"Nice job! Big man." Ma Lin stepped forward patted the shoulder of the big man with lingering fear.

"I must tell Lord Victor about your performance. Although you have not joined the camp for a month, I will ask the Lord to let you formally join my village group. By the way, what is your name?" Maureen admired the big man's bravery, but he was embarrassed to find that he hadn't remembered the big man's name.

"Team leader, my name is Renault." The big man said muffledly.
