There are many kinds of jobs in Zhenbei City. When the sheriff counts the population, he has already explained how many points he has earned for all his work.

Even if you don't have any skills, you can do a job as a coolie here. If you have a variety of skills, you can get a job according to the difficulty of the skill, and then you can get the corresponding points and money.

To George's surprise, he was able to have a working meal here while he was working. And the working meal is much more abundant than the food distributed, and there is also fish among them.

However, the points and money given for these jobs are not high. It will take a long time to rely on these jobs to get better housing and land. As for those jobs that get high points, it is to become a soldier and go into battle.

Of course, there are also lucky ones, who also have a chance to get high points if they don't participate in the battle. The most famous one is a human, who, with great luck, discovered an open-pit mine. After reporting the discovery of the minerals to the lord lord, he directly obtained large tracts of land and spacious houses, and was hired by the lord as a mineral advisor, directly from a slave to become a realm official.

Of course, there is only one case of this kind of thing. The odds of wanting to rely on this good fortune to get a house and land are too slim.

George had just come of age, and he was ready to get acquainted with the environment before trying to sign up for the army.

There are many benefits of joining the army, as long as you pass the assessment and successfully join the army, you can directly obtain the status of a citizen. Here, citizenship can bring higher status and convenience. The most obvious benefit is taxation. The tax of ordinary civilians is 30%, and the tax of citizens is 10% less than that of ordinary civilians.

The day passed quickly, and all the half-elves had been settled. George and his sister were assigned to a house, and the city hall distributed some simple daily necessities, of course, not much. If you want a better life, you need to work hard for yourself.

Early the next morning, George went out to find a suitable job for himself. Since he was not familiar with the place, he planned to find a job first to get used to it. As half-elves, they are naturally more agile and dexterous than humans. After observation, he decided to get a job as a mason.

In this job, you get a little more points and money than the average job. Originally, he wanted his sister to take care of the children at home. But her sister refused, and she took a job as a seamstress.

Large-scale construction is underway in Zhenbei City, and there is a need for manpower everywhere, and the demand for labor is extremely strong. George easily got a job as a mason.

The job was piecework, and by building three walls a day, they would get three cents and 30 copper coins, 10 of which could be exchanged for two pounds of food, enough for the family to eat.

George was quick with his hands and feet, and he built walls quickly, and he relied on his hands and feet to build walls quickly and well. The foremen who were in charge of the records were happy with him.

The food for noon was potatoes and salted dried fish, which was enough for an adult. Although the taste is average, it is satisfying to be able to eat these foods in the Northland Heath.

Time passed quickly at work, and in the blink of an eye it was late afternoon, George exchanged enough food for food, and then returned to his residence with the rest of the money and food.

The other people in the yard have returned, and most of them have chosen to exchange their points for food, and the children have no worries about the adults, and soon the surrounding yards are filled with joyful sounds.

When night falls, there are not many entertainment activities in this era, and many people have already rested early. There was a commotion in the courtyard next door. George glanced at his sister, who was already asleep, and quietly went out. After moving his muscles for a moment, he planned to sneak over and take a look.

There is a curfew in Zhenbei City, but you can move around freely in the neighborhood where you live.

"Kane, congratulations on passing the assessment and joining the army, I heard that the army is very well paid. ”

"It's okay, the allocated house is a bit bigger than the average house, and the food is much better in other aspects. ”

"Congratulations. ”

"Come and have a drink. ”

"I wish you a speedy general. ”

"Accept your good words. ”

......

George saw that there was a table in the courtyard, on which there was wine, meat, and various daily necessities, which was much more abundant than his own home. After listening for a while, George understood what had happened.

Kane is an experienced ranger with quite good qualities. He also has an animal companion and successfully passed the test to become a full-fledged soldier after signing up for the army today. Then he was directly assigned a house, and got a resettlement fee, and today I came here to drink, and the old guys said goodbye.

Tomorrow he will move to a separate courtyard specially prepared for the military. The status is also much higher than that of the people here, and it is estimated that it will not be long before the contribution can be exchanged for a piece of land of 10 acres.

In Zhenbei City, as long as you buy land, you can become a citizen of Zhenbei City, but civilians do not have any rights here, and they need to pay 30% of taxes every year, and after becoming a citizen, the tax will be reduced by 10%, 20% will be handed over, and they can leave 80%.

Moreover, after becoming a citizen, you have the right to participate in the training of officials, and after passing the study and training, you can become an official.

Soldier. George couldn't help but show a hint of envy on his face. Sure enough, people with strength can stand anywhere.

From the chats of these people, George knew that there seemed to be a lot of people like Kane, rangers, archers were recruited. After successful passing, they will be placed in a new yard. In addition to joining the army, there are also special care for some with special skills.

Some of the blacksmith skills he knew were sent to work in the blacksmith shop. Some of the literate and hyphenated people were assigned to study at the town hall, and it was said that they had the opportunity to become employees of the town hall. Because of their skills, these people have obtained a better living environment.

The people quickly dispersed, after all, after a hard day, many people were already tired. Seeing that these people dispersed, George also left.

After a night's rest, as soon as the second day dawned, George rushed to work full of energy. Now he is hopeful about life. The town hall has very few living supplies, and he needs to work hard in exchange for more living supplies.

A week passed in the blink of an eye.

The house where George lives has changed a lot. All kinds of daily necessities have been purchased, and what he wants to do most now is to have a house of his own. However, it is difficult to own a house by relying only on the work of a mason. He plans to go to the army to sign up, pass the assessment and join the army.

On this day, George went to buy some wine and meat, and then found Kane and asked him for martial arts techniques. George wants to become a Ranger and join the army to get better treatment and status.

Although the town north of the town does not look big. But it's full of hope and life.

......

In the blink of an eye, the time has entered February, and the spring ploughing in Zhenbei City has also begun, and when it is time to cultivate, those half-elves found that the land here in Zhenbei City is obviously different from that in the wasteland, and the two druids are even more surprised and can't close their mouths.

You must know that their entire half-elf tribe has very high agricultural skills, but even so, they need to use the power of the druids to ensure a good harvest of food every year, but without their druids to cast spells here, all the land is very fertile.

After learning that all this was the effect of the Harvest Altar, these druids almost fell out of their eyes. I was full of curiosity about the Harvest Altar and wanted to go up and check it out. It's just that Su Lun directly rejected them, and no one is allowed to go up to the Harvest Altar except him.

A large number of people were assigned to farm, and Suren selected several homeless people from the territory who had reached the full value of loyalty to make and train farm manure for farming.

At the same time, he also began to let people reclaim more land outside the north of the town, and the land outside the north of the town was divided into three kinds according to fertility, and he began to distribute land to the soldiers again, according to the rules and regulations formulated, the soldiers could allocate another ten acres, plus the previous land, that is, twenty acres per person, of course, if you want more land, you need to exchange military merit and money, and the upper limit is one hundred acres of land.

The officials of the realm could also exchange land for the same amount as the soldiers, and the heroes of Suren also distributed the land, ranging from 100 to 500 acres. Su Lun didn't give them a heavy reward at the beginning, after all, they would have to face many enemies in the future, and if they had too many rewards at one time, it would make it difficult to reward them in the future.

Last year, because the land reclaimed in Zhenbei City was on both sides of the river, it was very convenient to get water, and there were basically not many irrigation projects, but after more land was reclaimed this year, the irrigation equipment needed to keep up.

It's the same big water wheel, but this time the irrigation ditch doesn't have to be built very high.

The newly reclaimed land was planted with potatoes and sugar beets, both of which are generally high yields and use less fertilizer. One part is food, and the other part is the raw material of sugar.

Now that the sugar trade has become an important pillar of Zhenbei City, in order to avoid the shortage of raw materials, it is becoming more and more difficult to collect sugar beets in the wild, and now increasing the planting of sugar beets is naturally the best result.

Next, Suren commanded more than 3,000 slaves to begin clearing the land, and it took a week of hard labor of 3,000 slaves to take shape in the territory's irrigation system.

Ditches are excavated, the land is leveled, and water is diverted for irrigation. They are already familiar with the construction of large waterwheels, and with the help of the power of large waterwheels, they lift the water source to a certain height, and then pour the water down. The river water is channeled along the dug ditches to the various fields.

In addition to using large water wheels, Suren began to build a series of buildings such as water mills.
