Gawain couldn't explain his plans and visions to anyone — even the most trustworthy people like Rebecca and Hetty, he couldn't explain to them what he was thinking, so all he could do was break down his big plans, break them down into stages, details, and slowly pile them up.

What we are doing today is arguably the most basic part of it, and even the construction of this territory is only the foundation.

For Rebecca and Herty, Gawain showed them the incredible side of the commoners and serfs.

They had never seen commoners and serfs work with such enthusiasm, and to do things that they had never done well before.

They thought it was Gawain's promise of "meat at night" that inspired them, and it was.

It is still too early to build the so-called upsurge of people's self-confidence and the glory of labor, and the simplest and most effective way to motivate the labor force with a meal of meat is to motivate the labor force to work.

Back in the tent in the center of the camp, Gawain found a pen and paper and began to write down something, while instructing the Byron knights who followed: "Send two men to take out the meat and cook it, and prepare ten servings." In addition, as long as they participate in labor, vegetable soup and brown bread are full, and we still have food, and no one must fall ill because of cold and hunger in the early days of territorial construction. ”

"Do you really want to prepare meat for ten people?" Byron asked, a little surprised.

Gawain replied rightly: "Of course, I have to keep my promise." Any questions? ”

"I thought you were just going to make a pot of broth," Byron explained, "and it only took a few pieces of meat the size of a walnut and vegetables to make a big pot of soup, and those people would be grateful to Dade." ”

"Do as I say," Gawain waved his hand, "I made a promise that would not allow for a single discount." By the way, let the men set up the cauldron in the most conspicuous part of the camp, and I want everyone to see the stew, and at the same time let the soldiers keep order next to them, and no one will be allowed to loot. ”

The Byron knight bowed slightly strangely and took the order to leave.

Gawain noticed the gaze coming from the side, and he turned his head to find Amber staring at him without blinking.

"What are you looking at?" He moved his neck uncomfortably, "Something on my face?" ”

"I don't think you've been possessed by something that affects your mind when you're in the treasury, but it doesn't look like it," Amber said with a serious face, "I've never heard of a nobleman voluntarily cutting down on his wealth......"

Gawain felt a little amused: "You think my actions are cutting my fortune?" ”

"Or else?" Amber spread her hands, "Turning serfs into freedmen means that in the future, they only need to give you a part of the food they grow, and you also have to pay the freedmen, which is even more money from your own pockets...... Can the aristocracy do this? ”

"If I asked you to help me paint the walls, how much would you be able to do in a day without giving me money and just giving orders?"

Amber thought for a moment, "I'll steal a few coins from your pocket, hire a boy from the handyman room to do it for me, and exchange the rest of the money for wine!" ”

Gawain: "...... I'm full enough to reason with you, the shame of all things! ”

Amber: "I'm ashamed of everything! ”

At this time, Hetty walked into the tent and interrupted the burst of amber, and the lady still had an expression of disbelief on her face: "Ancestors, it's just incredible, they've never worked so hard - especially those serfs, they can get things done without even overseing......"

"Because they were only working for the lords before, and now their work is tied to their food," said Gawain without surprise, "and this is only the first step, as you can already see, we get much more than we have to pay for it in terms of food and wages." ”

"I used to think about incentivizing them to work, but I didn't do it to that extent," Herty shook her head, "I can't imagine what the future of the territory will be like if these systems are really continued." ”

Gawain laughed: "It will definitely go in a good direction, you can trust me." And what I'm doing today is just the first step, you come and see these ......"

He had been writing and drawing on a few pieces of paper since just now, Amber had been bored and stopped paying attention when he had come over and looked at it twice, but now Hetty heard Gawain's command and immediately walked over obediently: "This is ...... What the? ”

The paper was full of sentences that she couldn't understand, and it looked more like a pile of weird terms, such as working groups, such as competition and contracting, such as assessment methods and efficiency statistics, and on the other sheets of paper there were also words about the medium-term plan, on which were general education, magical talent census, talent introduction, etc., which seemed even more puzzling.

"I've come up with these things all this time, but I haven't had the time to implement them before, and now that the construction of the territory has begun, then some things should be on the agenda," Gawain pointed to the top piece of paper, "I'm afraid these things are still difficult for many commoners and serfs to understand, so I'm going to tell you about them first, and then you can tell them to the Byron knights and the overseers, and then I'll tell you about them again and again—by the way, what about Rebecca?" ”

She ...... Helping to burn down the weeds and bushes on the south side of the riverbank," says Hetty, "it's one of the ways she usually practices magic." ”

The corners of Gao Wen's mouth twitched: "Let her come over too, the big fireball is the same when you practice." ”

Soon Rebecca was called in, and the viscount's face was black, and her body smelled of fireworks, not so much to practice magic, but more like she had just come out of the room—no wonder there was a big fireball by now.

"I'm going to tell you about the working shifts in the camp for the rest of the year," Gawain explained in detail as he spread out his schedule, "First of all, the work groups—I asked all the workforce to be divided into groups of five to ten, and to divide the work and rest in shifts in small groups......

"All teams should report to the supervisor before starting work, and report when the work is completed, and the supervisor is responsible for counting the work of each team. In addition, each team has a team leader, who is responsible for assigning the work within the group......

The leader of the group let them choose for themselves, and told them that the leader of the group was not fixed, and that if a group leader interfered with the efficiency of the work, or deceived the overseers and lords, they would be removed immediately.

"According to the group as a unit to assess the effectiveness of the work, the whole group of rewards, the whole group of punishments, the reward and punishment system and the competition mechanism I will talk about later......

"With regard to the points system I mentioned earlier, considering that most people are illiterate or illiterate, let us start by Hetty, you will record the completion of each group. Let's discuss the specific contribution count slowly......

"We're also going to talk about how each group picks up and returns their tools."

Gawain said a lot of things in one breath, not only Rebecca, but even Herty was dizzy, the latter looked at Gawain in a daze as he continued to write and draw on the paper, and there were soon some scribbled shorthand content under the entries that only had one noun before, and she couldn't help but be a little confused: "Ancestor, making a simple job so complicated, doesn't it reduce it...... Efficiency? ”

"These systems may only seem complicated, but at the end of the system, the commoners and serfs, they only need to work quickly and well to reap the benefits, and when they taste the sweetness, they will naturally follow it seriously, and when they begin to obey it, you will see an even more astonishing efficiency than today's tent pitching. Of course, it can be a little bit difficult to implement at first, so you have to keep preaching them and explaining them. Beyond that, it has to be enforced, enforced, and there is no reason for that – just tell them that this is Cecil's new law. ”

At this time, Gawain couldn't help but be a little grateful for this backward era, the wisdom of the people was not opened, both the free people and the slave class took obedience to orders as a matter of course, the lord's words were absolute, and the so-called "untouchables" had no room for resistance, in this case, many of his ideas could be implemented without much explanation......

However, this is not the situation Gawain wants, his purpose is to break this environment, so that every "untouchable" in Cecil's territory is no longer a pariah, but a living person.

He needs people, lots of people.

Because what he wants to do cannot be done by himself.

That's why he asked Hetty to enforce these systems and keep preaching them to the people, and it doesn't matter if the civilians don't understand it now, they will understand it one day.

Hetty is not stupid, she has enough wisdom, and she is far ahead of the contemporary aristocratic class in terms of opinions, so after Gawain explained and thought about it herself for a while, she already vaguely understood the meaning of doing so, so she nodded and agreed.

"What about me?" Rebecca saw that Aunt Hetty already had a mission, so she couldn't help but come up with great interest, "What am I doing?" ”

This viscount, who was the lord of Cecil not long ago, had completely put herself in the position of Gawain's assistant at this time.

"You take some people to survey the soil tomorrow and confirm the difficulty of clearing the land and the scope of the land that can be cleared in the early stage. Don't run too far. ”

As he spoke, Gawain quickly sketched a rough map on a blank piece of paper beside him, which was a large area centered on the river beach, and he also marked the distance numbers of each place on it, although it was only an outline line that was not even a sketch, but Rebecca was stunned.

"You just go with it - don't worry about the places outside of it."

Rebecca took the "map" in a daze: "Oh...... Oh......"

Amber next to him looked at Gawain like a monster: "You ...... Are all the guys you guys who did the second exploration back then monsters? ”

Gawain thought for a while, and felt that the other old guys seven hundred years ago should not have jumped out of the grave to beat themselves, so he said nonsense: "Yes, it is the standard of our generation to draw a topographic map of half of the kingdom with our eyes closed. ”

Amber: "......"
