In this battle, a number of snow robber armor, one-handed swords, axes, and short bows were seized, and a pair of armor with chain mail, steel helmets, and metal leggings of the robber leader were seized, and a one-handed long sword was seized. Witt rewarded the best performers with the captured leader's armor and weapons, and replaced the rest of the trophies with the less defensive guards.

In fact, Witt would prefer to get some spears or spears with metal spear tips to form a real spear or spear formation. Because Witt learned in the art of war that this formation has a great combat advantage, both offensive and defensive, and can inflict a heavy blow on the enemy in a war of attrition, and even win more with less. But things can't be rushed, and this kind of thing can only wait slowly.

After returning to the cottage, Witt instructed Banderney: "The defensive wall of the front village is a large amount of work, and there is a shortage of manpower, so all the prisoners in the prison, including the new snow bandits, are rushed to repair the wall, remember to send more men to watch over them, so as not to let them escape." ”

"Don't worry, I will send a few archers to stand guard there, if they eat leopards and dare to run away, they can only feed them arrows!" Bandney swore by it.

"That's right! In the future, the task of hijacking the past caravan will be jointly responsible for you and Rum, and I don't have to compliment everything, Twin Peaks Village has been in the limelight recently, and it is on the cusp, and there are obviously more troubles than before. With you and Rum taking care of the day-to-day affairs of the cottage, I can also free up some time for other important matters. Witt explained to Banderney, hoping that Banderey would be considerate.

"Don't worry, the owner of the village has several actual combat experiences in the matter of hijacking the caravan in the past, and the guards inside and outside the cottage have several actual combat experiences, not to mention that with me and Rum here, the owner of the village doesn't have to work." Waiter was pleased with Bandney's reply, and Witt stopped inking and wandered around the front village.

The ruins of the former village were cleaned up and rebuilt by the villagers, and in just a few months, houses of comparable specifications were re-erected, and nearly half of the houses were still vacant. Because the situation of refugees coming to Shuangfeng Village has long been slowed down, and the number of villagers has basically stagnated in the past few days. This situation was unexpected for the steady Banderni. But it doesn't matter, if these houses are uninhabited, they can be used for other purposes in the future.

Although the cottage has solved the problem of food and clothing for the villagers, saving them from the torment of war and hunger, the villagers living here seem to be quite empty. Except that children maintain their playful and innocent nature, playing with each other in the open space. The women were weaving clothing in groups of hands and feet, and Witt didn't understand it very well, but felt that the atmosphere in the village was too oppressive.

Witt thinks that perhaps because of low productivity, the villagers in the village are self-sufficient, and there is less contact with each other, unless it is friendly exchanges between neighbors. If the farming season had come and there had been no violent exploitation by the territorial lords of the past, these hard-working villagers would have a lot of surplus wheat. With a surplus of wheat, there would be trade, and slowly small businesses would emerge, and the atmosphere in the stockade would become as lively as that of Fesdena, with specialized lumberjacks, blacksmiths, butchers, etc. As the owner of Shuangfeng Village, he should find a way to support the local villagers and let the business atmosphere flourish earlier.

There are many vacant houses in Shuangfeng Village, which can be used as a special store or product processing factory, and then try to get a special agricultural product processing machine, which can not only provide the quality of life of the villagers, but also collect processing fees in the middle, providing a source of income for the normal operation of the cottage, as the so-called killing two birds with one stone, to achieve a win-win situation.

As long as Wittur takes the lead in entering the processing industry, the villagers will see that this move is profitable, and they will definitely follow Wittur to earn the difference in price for arbitrage. With the passage of time, and by virtue of the desire for profit of human nature, the commercial atmosphere of the cottage will become more and more apparent, and Wittur can also collect a certain amount of tax in business dealings, which will not affect the production of agricultural products, reduce the burden of grassroots workers, and also drive the growth of wealth of all villagers.

However, the ideal is beautiful, and the reality is skinny. All this is just a blueprint, a skeleton, the reality is cruel, it is impossible to develop in the direction of your ideas. How the muscles of the skeleton grow and how the skin of the muscles are painted can only be left to fate, after all, people cannot decide what they look like.

Back in reality, wheat can be processed into flour, which can be made into bread and other foods. In addition, if you want to promote the business atmosphere of the cottage, you must first grab the wheat processing machine that you will get before the farm is busy two months later. But Shuangfeng Village is a barren place, originally a dangerous place for bandits, and it is not easy to obtain processing machines. In the vicinity of Shuangfeng Village, only Riwache and Fesdena have wheat processing machines. Riwache is a large city, and there are specialized equipment manufacturers who sell machines, but the price is very high, and it is estimated that it will not be possible without a few thousand dinars. Fesdena's processing machines were mainly in the hands of the lords, and were the tools used by the lords to exploit the tenant farmers. It is impossible to obtain a processing machine from a lord.

Just when Witt was troubled by this, he suddenly heard a grief-stricken cry from the village, Witt immediately looked for the sound, and found an old woman sitting on a grass bed in a house, her eyes were red from crying, and there were two cottage guards standing around. Wit wondered, and immediately asked, "Why is this old woman crying?" ”

The guard of the cottage next to him saw Witt suddenly appear, hurriedly bowed and saluted, and then replied: "Back to the owner of the village, this old woman's son is also one of the guards of our cottage, and he is familiar with the two of us, but just now he was killed by an arrow in the battle with the robbers, and the old woman was difficult to accept for a while, so she cried bitterly, disturbed the owner of the village, and asked the owner of the village to forgive me." ”

When Witt heard this, he realized that he had been negligent and did not have a good life to settle the family of the deceased brother, but as the owner of the village, Witt did not say anything about it directly, and instead said: "It's okay! Then Witt walked up to the old woman, crouched down, and said, "This old lady, I am deeply sorry for the death of your son, but your son also died under the arrows of the snow robbers in order to defend the cottage and all the villagers. You can rest assured that Shuangfeng Village will provide for you in order to give back to your son's contribution to Shuangfeng Village. ”

The grief in the old woman's heart for the death of her son could not be resolved by a few words from Witt, but because of the status and majesty of the owner of Witt, she had to nod and say no more.

Out of the old woman's house, Witt was about to go back to the main village to discuss the matter with Bandni, and just twenty meters away, he heard a hurried call from behind him: "Please stay!" Big things are not good! ”

Witt looked back, but saw Safin's anxious face and he was rushing towards him.
