Chapter 0146: Dedication to the Lord
The day after returning to the castle, 476 serfs who had camped in the field for the night arrived in Flower Town. After eating a few full meals, the serfs' complexion was still very poor, but at least in terms of spirit, there was a great improvement.
In the afternoon.
The sun was setting in the west, and all the serfs were lined up on the main road of Flower Town, waiting quietly.
Liszt, who was riding on the back of a dragon horse, came to the team surrounded by a team of knights. Thomas led Shake Sen and followed suit, and now when he goes out, he will take Shake Sen - quite a bit of fun with dogs.
"My lord, the quality of these serfs ...... Very poor. Marcus glanced and frowned.
"There are indeed very few serfs in the prime of life, but there are many children, and they can be trained well and become candidates for knights in the future. Liszt said simply.
While speaking, Galtai had already greeted him: "My lord, the serfs have finally reached the town of flowers, and no one has been lost. ”
"Well done, the loss of sailing at sea is forgotten, and on Coral Island, I don't want them to suffer again. ”
"So, my lord, now start arranging for them to bow down to you and offer their loyalty?"
"Yes. ”
When a serf saw a lord, he needed to give his loyalty, that is, a form of selling himself into slavery.
Old Grandet received Galtai's instructions, and immediately faced the serfs, and shouted in the wind: "Humble serfs, the great tulip family bloodline, the lord of Flower Town, stands in front of you, now, bow down to the lord, and dedicate your loyalty!"
Moment.
The serfs fell to their knees one after another, and shouted in their newly learned lame snake language: "Lord Lord!"
It's not neat, but it's loud.
The shouts of nearly 500 people, even if it were just a group of serfs in ragged clothes, uneven height, yellow and thin, old, weak, sick and disabled, still had a little momentum.
Liszt has become accustomed to such a scene, and in Flower Town, kneeling and shouting to him will happen every day. So he just looked at the group of serfs with a smile on his face, and the serfs kneeling on the ground all buried their heads deep in the ground, not daring to look directly at their future masters.
A moment later.
Liszt, who had prepared his lines, spoke: "I accept your loyalty, from now on, you have become a part of Flower Town, work hard for me, you will be protected by me and live a stable life." After speaking, he glanced at the old Grande, who was the translator.
Old Grande comprehended and translated: "The lord has accepted your loyalty, and the lord has told you that from now on you will become a part of the town of flowers, and if you work hard for the lord, you will be protected by the lord and live a stable life in the town of flowers, do you understand?"
"Understood. ”
"Yes. ”
"Thank you, Lord. ”
"I'll do my job. ”
The serfs responded sparsely, and many still didn't know what to say, just kneeling.
Seeing this, Liszt said, "Old Grande, let them get up." ”
So.
This is the end of the short ceremony of receiving serfs.
Liszt did not stop and returned directly to the castle, while Marcus continued to lead the knight squad back to the Thorn Forest to guard the logging team. Galtai and other officials began to get busy, and they had to arrange the life and work of these 476 serfs in a short time.
Fortunately, many wooden houses have been built in the town and in various tuns.
There are also many wooden houses that can temporarily provide accommodation in the commercial area, workshop area, and residential area that have not yet been completed.
There is no shortage of food, bread and vegetables may not be much, but seafood is enough, even if it is not enough, the fishermen of Oyster Tun catch the sea a few more times, it is enough.
"We need to complete the distribution of serfs as soon as possible, the autumn harvest is coming. Galtai said loudly.
"The census of resources has not yet been completed, there are too many serf women, children and the elderly, and the original arrangement plan is no longer suitable and we need to adjust. Isaiah responded.
Blair watched the serfs huddle into the hut for the night, and said with a smile: "The children and the nursing women should be put aside." It would be better for other serfs who could work to be sent to Thorn Ridge, so that they could carry timber or stones and be responsible for building roads. ”
Galtai interrupted: "This is not a responsible distribution. ”
"What I mean by this is that we don't make arrangements until the resource census is completed, and then we can make overall arrangements. ”
"Well, this is also a way, it is really difficult to arrange in a short time, and you can't raise them in vain, just send them to the logging team. ”
......
At the dinner, Galtai conveyed Blair's suggestion to Liszt.
Liszt agreed, adding: "Try to arrange for craftsmen to do some light work, among which the weak or sick serfs should not be arranged to work, let them recuperate." Among these serfs, he valued craftsmen the most.
The skill of the craftsman is the technology of this world, an indispensable part of the prosperity of the territory.
Suddenly thinking of something, he said: "You will rest later tonight, and count the list of craftsmen first, especially what skills they have mastered, and I will ask the servants of the castle to help record them, and I hope to see them early tomorrow morning." ”
Today's Flower Town, Liszt said nothing.
By the next morning, when he had gotten up and walked the dog, a thick list of pachy paper was already on the table. After taking a shower and changing into loose clothes, I sat down at the table and prepared to enjoy breakfast.
It's time for Carter to order the valet to bring breakfast.
A glass of fragrant fresh milk, a pineapple bun and milky bread, a fried egg, a large piece of fried monster meat, a vegetable salad, and a few fruits.
It's his standard breakfast.
It is worth at least a dozen silver coins, especially the value of Warcraft meat is very high.
But who made him rich recently, as the invisible rich man on Coral Island, he is not willing to wronged himself. It has never been a hard and simple style, and if you can enjoy it, you must enjoy it.
Picked up the milk and took a big sip.
"It's better to have the milk that the castle produces itself, and I think the climate of Flower Town is definitely suitable for raising cows. He licked the milk foam from the corner of his lips and made his own judgment.
"Sherlock has bought three calves, and now the pasture is the size of the horse, and there is no way to raise more cows, sir. ”
Liszt's tone was firm: "When Thorn Ridge is developed, the dairy farm will definitely be expanded, at least doubled, and I will raise more cows!"
Because of the better and better milk tea, he deliberately investigated the dairy farm, and found no reason for the improvement of the milk quality of the cows - at least not the cows entering the pregnancy period as previously speculated, compared with the milk of the cows outside, you can clearly feel the difference in the taste of the milk.
The milk from the Dairy Farm in Flower Town is not only fragrant, but also refreshing.
Later, Liszt speculated that it was not the reason for feeding the new variety of pasture corngrass. As a result, after feeding separately, it was found that it had nothing to do with corn grass. So he decided that the climate in Flower Town was suitable for raising dairy cows.
Took a bite of the pineapple bun.
Liszt focused on the thick paper on the table and flipped it open to see the information about the craftsmen recorded on it.
