Chapter 140: Crooked Ways

As in his previous life, Arthur found a common denominator, there are advantages and disadvantages to outsourcing the project, and the benefit is naturally that the cost is reduced, and the cost to be borne by himself is reduced.

But the disadvantages have not changed, and the quality and efficiency are all no longer guaranteed.

Arthur looked all the way, and more than seventy percent of the canals on the land of those homesteaders had been dug up, and some even hired people to dig them like Arthur, and all the sections of their own land had been dug through.

But there are some canals, Arthur looked straight at the tooth flowers, dug half of them, dug thirty percent of them, if it weren't for Arthur's urging again and again, I'm afraid there are still people who haven't started work yet.

"The shorter the distance, the poorer the family, the less they will dig, I am afraid that others will think that as long as they dig through the dozens of meters of their own house before winter, it is enough, they deserve to be poor, and they can't even do something that is so beneficial to themselves." Arthur found a gap between the two groups of people.

The richest yeoman farmers were the most active, and even the barbed wire fences for interception were installed according to the specifications required by Arthur, and even had been connected to water, apparently wanting to test whether it was as Arthur said, as long as the barbed wire and gates were installed, the ooze monsters would not enter the canal and block the canal.

But the deeper you go, the smaller the land area is that doesn't lie close to the riverbank, but they are not so active, after all, for them, small canals are enough to divert water, and digging more large canals is cheaper than others.

If it weren't for the fact that Arthur had a credit for Morado, and the benefits that he had done to the entire Morado, which had saved them the cost of arguing with the lord and recruiting mercenaries, they would probably not have been willing to do this troublesome work.

These yeoman farmers are basically the fastest to stop work after the snow, and the ordinary farmers in the depths, as soon as they see that the yeoman farmers have stopped, they also start to 'strike' one by one, causing the entire project to be stopped, even if Arthur's side digs fast, it is useless.

"You shouldn't give them water!" Uncle Vinok was also angry, what did he work hard for.

"Forget it, uncle, if they see that this canal flows through their own land but can't use it, I'm afraid it will be more troublesome in the future, and I will trouble you to communicate with them again.

If we can't start work for special reasons, we can send someone to dig for them, but if someone wants to ignore the contract, I think someone will naturally teach them a lesson. Arthur said and looked out the door in the direction of the canal, if you don't want to do it, you can't do it? Is the contract you should be justified by your lord a waste of paper?

Vinock nodded, he watched Arthur plan the canal and calculate the progress of the project.

He also knew how much Arthur had conceded for the sake of those farmers, and even made a few bends in the main canal in order to make the canal benefit more farmers, adding a lot of distance.

Don't look at the lord who has nothing to do with the yeoman farmers, but he has extremely high rights to the tenant farmers and local farmers, depriving the land ownership to buy it at parity, and even directly issuing a decree to detain some people who break the law, which are all within the scope of the lord's rights.

If it weren't for that Alfred in the lead, even if those tenant farmers were stupid and unknowledgeable, they wouldn't have followed them to make trouble, and even then they were just watching and cheering, and they would never have the courage to let them play on their own.

After all, a person with courage and courage has already gone out to be an adventurer when he becomes an adult, and even if he is not strong enough, it is far better to be a hired person who drives goblins than to give his life to a lord.

"I can definitely get it done before spring ploughing, but if there are still problems by then, it's a big deal...... I'll beg my teacher again. Arthur said and shook his head, if he had become a wizard, I am afraid that he would not really have to go to the half-goblin.

Arthur certainly couldn't do it if he wanted to fully irrigate and fill the entire reservoir with water, but as a special negative energy element that could attract all the natural elements, it would be no problem to get a little rain out of this forest with plenty of moisture.

"By the way, uncle, when the snow gets heavier again, you can arrange for some people to fill the entire reservoir with snow, and it is best to build a high slope." Of course, there is more than one note, and Arthur came up with a simple solution when he saw the snow.

"Snow ...... That's right! I didn't think that you were still smart, but your teacher was really good, and I searched through the books describing magicians at home, but I couldn't find how I could make a magic that covered a huge crater in rock formations. Vinok slapped his head and exclaimed.

Isn't it just a lack of water, isn't it water when the snow melts?

Although it is not as convenient to use as a canal that can fill the pool at any time, when watering, I am afraid that it will have to be watered by hand.

However, when the reservoir was designed, Arthur took these into account, and the layers are like a downward extension of the staircase, so that when the water level drops, there is no need to worry about the trouble of fetching water, especially in drought times, and it is the only way to ensure water for crops.

After all, there was probably a lack of water in the air at that time, and no matter how awesome the half-goblins were, it was impossible to turn soil into water.

As for why you don't do it now, just look at the snow outside, if there are leaves to cover it, the ground is not covered yet, and shoveling snow now is a waste of physical strength.

By the time the snow actually falls in winter, the pool will be half-filled without shoveling, and if it weren't for the highly absorbent soil around the pool, it would be enough to melt the snow when the snow melts.

Knowing that he could rely on snow water to solve the temporary needs of spring snow, Uncle Vinock was completely relieved, but he immediately remembered the reason why Arthur left.

"Uncle, don't look at it, it's a failure, if you want to be a magician, you probably have to save up a few more months of magic power." Arthur didn't hide it from the Peter Ryder family, after all, Vic and Serena's magic were taught by Arthur, and if he could teach both of his own families so well, how could Arthur's magic be so bad.

"Failed? It doesn't matter, where did this get there, when Adena's kid came back before, he was not still a trainee, and he bragged to me that he couldn't beat him as a full-time soldier, and he didn't know how to learn well with you, so he walked step by step, don't take any crooked paths. Uncle Vinock tugged at his beard as he spoke, feeling that he must have made sense.

Uncle, your eldest son really didn't brag, compared to his physique, Ade, who was born with divine power, may not be weaker than those full-time fighters who neglected to exercise after breaking through.

Of course, Arthur didn't intend to expose the facts when he looked at his uncle's happy appearance, after all, who could be more crooked than himself than to go down the wrong path?
