Outside the humble wooden house, a group of tenant farmers in simple coats gathered around the fire in a daze, and layers of thick calluses and mud could be seen on their hands that were rubbing together from time to time.

The wooden house is very simple, there is no overly ornate decoration, it is only used as a makeshift residence, even the windows are omitted, and the room is only lit by a wooden frame partition to provide light, and if the weather is not good enough, even during the day, a fire candle needs to be lit to provide light to the room.

"Mr. Peter Ryder, don't blame us for not being able to catch up with the deadline, it suddenly snowed on this day, who knows if it will rain even more next, and then everyone will stop, or give some motivation, everyone will not be able to work." There was a little snort on his face, as if he had found a reason, this man was not an illiterate tenant farmer, but a member of the yeoman farmers.

"You're threatening me? If you want to increase the money, our wages have already been set, this is not an excuse, I will not agree. Vinock was stubborn, Arthur trusted him to hand over the entire project to him, not to mention that in his opinion, as an elder, how could he let Arthur suffer the loss of these evil men.

The man smiled and didn't speak, the tenant farmers outside who were roasting the fire were all under his persuasion, planning to advance and retreat together, unlike some other tenant farmers sent by lords and nobles, these people could only do odd jobs for yeoman farmers and ordinary farmers, and they were not afraid of being questioned by the people above at all.

Although there are not many people, there is one-tenth of the total number of people, if there is a trouble, not only will the construction period in Vinnoke's mouth not be able to catch up, but it is difficult to say whether more people will join in and ask for a salary increase together.

"Uncle is right, if you want to add money, get out of here! For you to eat, for you to live, do you still want me to give you a pension and send you to the end? The door was pushed open, and the snowflakes rushed into the room with the cold wind, and the dim light flickered twice, but the room did not darken, but became brighter because of the sunlight in the door.

"Arthur, are you here?" Uncle Vinnock was stunned for a moment when he saw Arthur, he was thinking about whether he had to discuss countermeasures with Arthur just now, but he didn't expect Arthur to appear here.

"You...... Mr. Mario, I'm not doing this for myself, don't you just watch everyone suffer from the cold, without a little pity? "To be able to move so many tenant farmers, there is still some effort in his mouth, his purpose is nothing more than to make more benefits, if Arthur is willing to give him money alone, he will not care about the life and death of those people.

Hum! Play this set? Pulling a group of people to threaten himself, wanting to reap the benefits, Arthur has eaten and seen the house, and he can see a lot in the news that the Americans and Europeans are making trouble.

Compared to these temporary organizations outside the door that don't even have a slogan, Arthur seems to be a chicken and a dog, and he found their weakness at a glance.

"Alfred, right, your family's land is almost sold, I don't think you are needed here, if you have time, you should go back and take care of your family." Arthur glanced out the door, and the tenant farmers seemed to be indifferent, but their ears were standing up, and his words must have pierced their ears word for word, and Arthur believed that this would be a good warning.

"What are you going to do, I'm a yeoman farmer, you can't ......" Alfred was stunned, the yeoman farmers are quite friendly with each other, after all, the ancestors have gotten along with each other for so many generations, and they are all good families, and the ancestors have shed blood for Morado, and they have something to say to each other, but they have never been so direct.

"What can't be? Isn't it possible that I can't decide who I can and can't ask for my money? Uncle Vinnock, please pay this guy, don't say that we cheated other people's money, not a single copper coin is missing. Trying to use the same trick against Uncle Venoch as he did against himself, Arthur pouted, he really underestimated himself.

Trade union leader...... Ah, no, it was the leader of the extortionists who was expelled, but it was a great shock to the tenant farmers outside, and looking at Alfred, who had taken the money and left the construction site without looking back, the dozen or so people who were baking the fire at the door also silently retreated.

"Arthur, this is my fault, I ......" Uncle Vinnock blamed himself a little, after all, it was not good to let Arthur come forward to say these words, and it was not good to spread the ears of other homesteaders, and homesteaders were very particular about reputation, after all, their ancestors had planned to pass it on on to this land for generations, and if their reputation was bad and in danger, no one was really willing to help.

Arthur smiled, knowing what the uncle was worried about, but did this really work for Arthur? In the past, Arthur, or should I say his Mario family, also had a bad reputation.

His father was an experimental otaku, and he was a newcomer, and the profession of warlock was not well received, except for the Peter Ryder family, after his father was gone, Arthur did not have many friends from the homesteader family.

"Don't worry uncle, I'm the benefactor who helped Morado get rid of the farmland destroyer, how could a homesteader come and blame me for some people's nonsense? Everyone knows who Alfred is. Arthur comforted him.

He didn't blame Uncle Vinnock for doing it at all, after all, he had been in this world for more than ten years, and he had long known what the relationship between yeoman farmers was.

The relationship between neighbors, comrades-in-arms, and relatives is so complex that it is difficult to explain, and it is impossible to use a certain standard to measure what is right and what is wrong, and what can and cannot be done.

Arthur is special, so he can cross Uncle Vinnock to offend people, and he is not afraid of others gossiping behind his back, or some relative will come to the door to seek justice from him.

"The construction period is okay, I didn't expect to learn so early this year." Arthur didn't come to the construction site to act with the clown, but the progress of the construction site was what he cared about the most.

"The ditches have all been dug and the timber has begun to be shipped out, but now the main canal is a little troublesome, and the tenant farmers are all busy building the houses, and it will be too late to learn when they are really big." Vinok looked at the drifting snow outside the door, couldn't help but tighten his robe, and said uneasily.

nodded, it was about the same as he expected, after all, it was impossible for this snow to have no effect at all.

In particular, the progress of the excavation of the main aqueduct will certainly be affected, but on the other hand, the timber that used to be dragged out of the forest with great effort is now much easier because of a thin layer of snow.

"The progress of the main aqueduct can be slowed down, let's build the workshop first, I'm afraid this snow is not only us, but the canals in other places have also stopped." Arthur couldn't help but smile wryly when he saw something unclear along the way.
