Chapter 38: Knights

The thick clouds continued for five days and showed no signs of dissipating, but the Sears area was not affected much, all because of Irina.

Of course, food and gold coins are indispensable as a reward, and when Irina saw a small box of gold coins for the first time, she cheered excitedly, and she was in a state of excitement all night, and even slept with the box in her arms.

Then the next day, Irina, who got the gold coins, did not strike, according to her words, the amount of gold coins was not too much, so three drainage channels were dug in three days.

It was only on the seventh day that the sun in the sky pierced the clouds and warmed the earth, and it was also the busiest time.

After the rainstorms, the Sears area was devastated, and none of the old bazaars, villages, towers, etc. were intact.

The Sears area is a foreign household, and most of the residents have migrated from all over the world, so there are people from all over the area, and even the buildings are varied, but there is also the difference between wooden houses and stone houses.

Most of the wooden houses had to be rebuilt because they had collapsed and their roofs had been washed away, while most of the stone houses only needed to be repaired.

At this time, Luther was in full swing preparing for construction, and at the same time he scattered all the scouts to investigate the movements of the Minethil family, but because the rain had stopped for a long time, the information that could be explored was very limited.

Thankfully, the leaders did not lose much because of the previous proper settlement, except for a few people who went out in the rain and disappeared, a few people were injured before the resettlement, and in the end the injuries were too serious to survive.

"Young master, the sick have all been isolated, and at first they begged not to execute them, and then they were relieved to see the isolation ward you prepared.

Hmph, these idiots don't deserve such preferential treatment from you, young master. ”

Linear looked at Luther as he was writing and drawing on the table, and although he didn't know what the markings were, it was clearly Sears' map.

"Don't say that, every lord is wealth, and they are worth more than you think.

Although I am kind-hearted, young master, I am not a saint, have you told them that it means to work for relief?"

Now Sears is simply a refugee camp, all the facilities are basically scrapped, just take this opportunity to plan to build a city, but even if it is a city, there is no way to become fat in one bite, so he can only plan first and build the necessary things first.

Luther, who kept writing, casually asked about what he had told Canadian Solar before, which he repeatedly emphasized for Canadian Solar not to forget.

"Tell them, but young master, I think it's okay to just let them work, there's no need for this, right?"

Scratching his head, Canadian Solar didn't understand what his Earl did, and it was obvious that he couldn't just let them do it, why was it so troublesome.

Luther, who sighed in his heart, didn't explain, anyway, he couldn't figure out what Alexander couldn't understand, and he would only understand what the butler meant if he came.

To put it simply, there are two benefits, the first is to increase cohesion and unity and let these people not have to worry about the rest of their lives, and the second is to keep people.

There is a division of the lords under the lord, only the lords who have lived for more than 3 generations are the private property of the lord, except for the slaves, they are considered free people, and they have the right to choose to leave the territory without being punished by the lord.

At present, there are enough people, of course, to keep a little free people, so Luther provides them with temporary shelter and food free of charge in order to keep this part of the people.

At present, Sears only has less than 4,000 people, and the two or three hundred people who are missing don't know whether they ran away or had an accident, after all, it would be good to be able to gather so many people in an emergency situation at that time.

After putting down the pen and rubbing his eyebrows, he looked up at Canadian Solar and asked, "Won't the purchased carriage still get out?"

Although there was also food in the castle, and it could be supplied for many days if it was temporarily rescued from a farmer's house, he was worried that the surrounding area would run out of food or increase prices due to the heavy rain, after all, Sears was not the only area that was unlucky.

So as soon as the rain stopped, he counted the current population and calculated the cost, and now Luther has some savings and some liver tremors.

The daily expenses of nearly 5,000 people are really terrifying, according to the calculation of 4-6 copper coins a day for one person, one person has to consume at least one silver coin worth of food a month, so one gold coin can only supply about 30 people for a month.

Luther's plan is to supply it for two months, at least in these two months, and roughly figure out the future urban outline.

Of course, so much food will definitely not be bought at one time, the first batch of Luther is ready to buy enough food for everyone to live for half a month, and then decide the purchase and quantity after the situation is in place.

As for the route, Luther considered it or chose a closer city, although there may also be a price increase, but it will only take more than a week to go back and forth, and he can rescue in time in case of situation.

And now the Earl next to him hesitated for a moment when he heard the Earl's inquiry, and then he said his concerns a little tactfully, he had indeed heard that the Earl intended to let people purchase food and carriages on the spot.

"The soldier's words do get out, but it's not safe. ”

"Hmm. Luther, who answered, also knew what the other party wanted to say, and he must have been worried that someone would take the money and run away directly.

200 gold coins is a huge amount of money even for low-level nobles with a small fortune, and even Luther himself before him could only make up more than 100 gold coins by smashing pots and selling iron.

"I also have a bit of a headache in the staffing arrangement, can you be worthy of my trust?"

Getting up and taking off his shawl and putting it on the chair, Luther turned to look the other man in the eye, although there was no expression on his face, but it made the visual arts who understood the meaning in an instant a little overwhelmed.

Luther has a good impression of this person, although he is sometimes a little silly, but he is still loyal to himself, and although the butler does not praise him, he also tells Luther that he is a real knight.

Overwhelmed, Canadian Solar froze for a moment, and then his chest rose and fell violently, as if something was about to jump out of his chest.

It wasn't until Luther grinned at Canadian Solar that the reaction of American Solar quickly knelt on one knee, and he respectfully bowed to Luther in the knightly salute that he would only do when he was loyal to him.

Luther smiled and picked up the wooden stick he used as a ruler on the table and put it on the other party's shoulder, and then Luther scratched his head and said: "That's it, young master, I haven't canonized a knight, be wronged, and I'll make up for you in the future." ”

Just like that, the shabby and very irregular knightly allegiance was accomplished.

After helping the other party up, he patted the other party's shoulder and said softly: "Don't let me down, and remember to send someone back to report at any time." ”
