After lunch, William issued a task to a few followers, "Old John, you and Little John continue to collect the golden grass, as much as I want." ”

Old John nodded.

"Add, you have a new mission this time."

Hearing that there was a new mission, the blacksmith Eddie's eyes lit up and he looked at William expectantly.

"This time, when the villagers came, you were in charge of recruiting people. Well, tell the villagers about our conditions, and I'll give out three Poole copper coins a day as a reward, and if you do a good job, I'll reward you again. William said.

Blacksmith Add's face suddenly became bitter, "Lord Baron, I think it's okay to let Little John do these things." ”

It was the first retinue to refuse his order.

"Oh, Add, do you have an issue with my orders?"

William's gaze wandered, and he stopped at the blacksmith Add, and an invisible pressure pressed on the blacksmith Add.

Blacksmith Eddie was suddenly under pressure, and he remembered that the baron in front of him, the scene where the face of the two knight-level killers did not change that day, cold sweat flowed.

It's all because William behaved so kindly during this time that Eddie forgot that the status gap between him and William was like a world apart.

Eddie, the blacksmith, panicked, "Baron, that's not what I meant. I respect you more than anyone else! ”

As soon as Eddie said this, Old John had an opinion in his heart, but at this time it was inconvenient for him to say it, so he kept it in his heart.

"It's just that, Lord Baron, I want to do something more meaningful and valuable for you!"

"I'm a blacksmith, I can make farm tools for you, and I can make weapons for you." In the end, the blacksmith Eddie is still a little aggrieved.

I see! Looking at Eddie's youthful appearance, William's mind suddenly turned around.

The fledgling little blacksmith always wants to make some achievements and be recognized by others!

William's face suddenly melted into a smile, and the majestic power disappeared with William's smile.

"Add, I understand! I also know that you are a brilliant blacksmith! Really, I never doubted that. William affirmed, "I'm sure your future will be bright!" It's just that the road to the top of the mountain is at your feet, and even the most majestic castle has to be built step by step. ”

"And right now, it's when I need you!"

"Lord Baron, I will fight for you until death!"

A nobleman spoke so earnestly to a commoner blacksmith? They will only be on top!

The aristocracy of this world has not learned the trick of "looking at the thatched house"!

The so-called "death for the confidant"!

Eddie, the blacksmith of this world, was so moved that his eyes were red, and he immediately knelt down and assured William.

William nodded in understanding, and then let him up.

Looking at Add's current performance, it is estimated that William asked him to go to the Shadow Swamp to find out the whereabouts of the lizardmen, and he passed without even thinking about it.

Of course, William doesn't need Eddie to go!

Eddie's role now is to help him farm well!

With the blacksmith done, William looked at Charles again.

Charles was also looking at William, a little smug in his eyes.

"Charles, I'll teach you how to weave a basket later! The people that Eddie recruited will be handed over to you for training, and you will supervise and guide them to complete the task, you know? ”

"How do you weave the basket?" Charles's eyes were full of joy, after all, in this era, technology is equal to money, and mastering one more technology is mastering the cost of eating.

If he had known these methods in the first place, Old John would not have been able to convince him to follow William to this remote territory.

"Hmm." William nodded disapprovingly, it was just a basket weaving, William could also make baskets, sieves and other supplies, but there was no need to get them all out now.

"Lord Baron Xie!" William didn't care, but Charles was overjoyed, and the other attendants looked at him with a little envy.

Who wouldn't be jealous of learning one more skill for no reason?

Charles was in the middle of his spirits, not paying any attention to his companion's eyes, but patted his chest and assured William, "Rest assured, Lord Baron, I will train those villagers to make sturdy and useful brooms." And I, day and night, will go all out to weave the dustpan and basket for you......"

The broom basically has no technical content, and Charles is not distressed to teach it for free, not to mention that those villagers have done a lot, and he also has a Poole copper coin reward, why not do it!

William noticed that Charles had misinterpreted him, frowned, and said in a deep voice, "Charles, I mean, you have to teach not only those villagers how to make brooms, but also how to make dustpans and baskets!" ”

Charles's heart pounded, he looked at William, and asked in a low voice, "Lord Baron, do you mean that you want me to take them as apprentices?" ”

The apprentices of this era were not the kind of students of William's previous life, but naked personal dependence.

Being an apprentice is equivalent to signing a deed of sale, the apprentice becomes the master's slave, and the master must not disobey if he beats and scolds, and he must also work hard to make money for the master!

This system ensured the transmission of technology in some cases, but it was not what William wanted.

He needs more people to learn technology, so as to liberate the productive forces and thus lead the development of the territory.

So William shook his head and said, "No, Charles, I want them to be workers!" ”

"Workers?" Not only Charles, but even Old John were puzzled. The concept of the worker did not yet appear in this era.

"Yes, workers! You have to teach them how to weave, and for every twenty brooms, five dustpans, or five baskets you make, you will get a Poole Copper Coins, and they are under your control, but not your own. They have nothing to do with you, and if they really have anything to do with anyone, then it can only be me, got it, Charles! William's tone was calm, but he looked at Charles with a stern look in his eyes.

"As you wish! Everything is yours here! "The arms can't twist the thighs, not to mention that even the technique is taught by William, Charles has no confidence, he looks very depressed at the thought that the whole village will master this technique.

When William saw this, his tone softened, "Cheer up, Charles!" ”

"Lord Baron, Charles will try to complete your account!" Charles is still weak when he speaks, and it seems that the blow is not small.

Old John and the others were not jealous now, but looked at Charles sympathetically.

Poor Charles! That's what they thought to themselves.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

The small village of Nisse, home of miller Adams.

As one of the wealthy people in the village, his thatched hut was much larger than that of the average villager.

While others have only one thatched house, he has two.

At this time, the old Gretel, the messenger, the carpenter, Merton, the carpenter, and the silent Hugh of the swineherd, gathered at Adams's house.

These people are all wealthy families in the village, not only do they have more land than others, but they also have a kind of technology.

Before the lord William came, these people were the leaders of the village.

"Mr. Gretel, Mr. Merton, Mr. Hust, winter is coming, the rats have prepared their food for the winter, and the birds have flown to the warm south, and what about us?" Adams asked in a loud voice as he looked at the crowd.

Hugh the Swineherd didn't raise his head, but just stood there dumbfounded, his eyes on the ground, and he didn't say a word.

Old Gretel didn't seem to hear Adams.

Only Merton, the skillful hand, said, "Yes! Mr. Adams, what do you think we should do? ”

"Hehe......" Adams laughed dryly, but his eyes rolled in his heart, if he knew, he would have found a few people.

In fact, among these people, Adams cares most about the attitude of old Gretel.

After all, he was the one who had the deepest ties to the big guys in Patras City, and the big guys trusted him.

After thinking about it, Adams said politely to old Gretel, "Mr. Gretel, your wisdom can illuminate the whole swamp, you say, what shall we do?" ”

"Hey, hey......" Old Gretter squinted at Adams and said, "Adams, nature has its laws, and we can't disobey them!" ”

"Mr. Gretel, he's not nature!" Adams was a little angry in his heart, when did it be, this old fox still refused to tell the truth!

"For the village of Nisse, he is the master of everything!" Old Gretel still doesn't eat oil and salt.

"But our lord wants us to pay with our lives!" Adams retorted angrily.

"But he also showed us a way!" Old Gretel said on the ground.

Discouraged, Adams took a deep breath and said helplessly, "Mr. Gretel, you know it's a dead end!" ”

"Now that we're done, let's get it straight." Adams suggested.

Seeing that old Gretel still didn't react, Adams had no choice but to say to himself, "Mr. Gretel, Mr. Merton, and Mr. Hust, would you like to stay in the village for this winter?" ”

The crowd was silent.

Adams continued, "Have you forgotten the bloody plague? ”

When it came to the "Bloody Disaster", the faces of the other people turned pale, and even Old Gretel was not surprised, obviously thinking of something very terrifying.

Adams was silent for a while, his face calm, his eyes looked deeply at old Gretel, and said solemnly, "Mr. Gretel, you are the only one among us who is familiar with those big people. How do you think the big names would feel about this? I think not only I want to know, but both Mr. Merton and Mr. Hughste want to know. ”

Adams said, and Merton the Carpenter and Hust, the Swineherd, looked at Old Gretel.

Apparently they are all concerned about this issue.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have accepted Adams' invitation to come and meet them.

These people looked at old Gretel without blinking, and old Gretel was also a little stressed in his heart, he pondered for a while before he considered his words and said, "I heard that Viscount Greon intends to repair his new Will Castle, and I guess that Viscount Green's demand for Pith gold coins will be a little greater recently." ”

As soon as they heard old Gretel say this, the other people's faces showed joy.

What about asking for a little more money? They are all big families in the village, and they occupy a lot of land in the village, and it is not that they can't afford to pay it, and there is a surplus.

What they feared most was that Viscount Grion chose to abandon them for unspeakable reasons among the nobles.

That's what they're most worried about.

Without this big stone pressing on his heart, Adams looked much more relaxed.

At this moment, an excited voice came from outside Adams's house.

The sound was loud, reaching the ears of Adams through the barely soundproofed grass walls.

"Ina, Ina, where are you?"

"I have a great thing to tell you! Fast! It's too late, it's gone! Don't pull weeds! ”

Adams could tell it was Mark from the village.
