Chapter 64: Change

The small village of Nisse has undergone several changes recently.

First, the wild slaves found that their food had changed.

The hard, unpalatable black bread was gone, replaced by a brownish-green powder.

Listen to the people who distribute food to them, this is called sweet powder.

At the beginning of the replacement, some of the wild slaves were in a panic.

They thought that the small village of Nisse was running out of food, or that they were no longer useful, and were ready to abandon them.

This kind of thing is not uncommon for them, in fact, as the leading figures among the wild people in the past, they often do this when they lack food and clothing, and often do this to the old, weak, sick and disabled among the wild people.

They were afraid that the walls of the small village of Nisse were about to be built, and it seemed that these wild people, who could only consume food, would be useless.

A person without value has no need to survive.

These savages understand this very well.

However, after they ate the sweet powder that had been added with water to turn into a batter, the uneasiness subsided.

The batter made of this sweet powder is sweet in the mouth, warm in the stomach, and very hungry.

Compared to the previous brown bread, it is completely incomparable.

Just grab a handful of sweet powder and add water to it to expand into a large bowl of batter.

Each Wild Slave is allowed to eat 3 bowls per meal.

Each time, the wild slaves ate their stomachs full.

A sense of happiness flowed through their hearts, so much so that their enthusiasm for work was much higher.

As a result, the various projects in the small village of Nisse have progressed faster.

The sweet powder tasted so luscious that it not only fascinated the wild slaves, but also made some villagers who had tasted it fall into this pit.

However, the sweet powder is provided by their esteemed lord, Baron William, and no one else will provide it except for the wild slaves and the members of the guards.

They work and are rewarded only with money.

However, the reward of money is not very useful in this scarce village, where there is no trade and commerce.

They can't buy sweet powder.

They could only bake hard and unpalatable black bread, and then watched with their eyes as the savage slaves drank sweet porridge with great delight.

The so-called does not suffer from a small number but suffers from unevenness.

This discontent grew so much that they could not bear it anymore and sought out old Gretel, hoping that he would come forward and ask the lord to be treated in the same way as a wild slave.

When William heard this cry from the crowd from old Gretel, he took a moment of thought and then refused the request of the villagers.

Old Gretel was disappointed at first, after all, he was one of the villagers who wanted to eat sweet porridge.

He was old, his teeth were starting to loosen, and it was difficult for him to eat the hard, stomach-hurting black bread.

The batter has no taste at all, it is bitter, astringent and unpalatable, and it is often uncomfortable to eat it in the stomach.

As long as the sweet porridge made of this sweet powder tastes sweet, it is resistant to hunger and does not hurt the stomach, which is really fascinating.

However, after William told Old Gretel about his plans, Old Gretel became happy again.

Two days later, a grocery store opened in the small village of Nisse, in a thatched hut not far from William's "Lord's House" earthen house.

Kerry Mark's father, the first man to sell the goldenrod to William, was hired by William to be the head of the grocery store, and was paid three hundred and fifty copper Poole coins a month.

This was the reward he received for his loyalty as the first to surrender and his son.

William is cultivating a class of interests that belong to him.

There are too few of his interests in the small village of Nisse.

Without a stable interest class as the cornerstone of his rule, he is like a reed fluttering in the wind, which may be carefree for a while, but when the wind blows, it will be scattered.

In fact, if there were enough interests on his side in the original small village of Nisse, he didn't have to be so gentle and detouring, and directly enforced it with the orders of the lord, how could the villagers have room for resistance?

In addition, at the strong recommendation of old Gretel, his eldest son, Grand Gretel, was also stuffed into the grocery store as an assistant to old Mark, and was paid a lesser amount each month, only two hundred and eighty copper pooles.

Big Brother Gretel has been very depressed since the last incident, and Old Gretel's move is also to cheer up Big Gretel.

For this small request of old Gretel, William did not refuse.

Anyway, everything is in the hands of the magic mirror, and William is not afraid of them turning over the waves.

The job of the grocery store is simple, it is to buy and sell sweet powder shipped from William's earthen house.

As for how the sweet powder came from?

William didn't say it, and no one in the small village of Nisse dared to ask.

A kilogram of rye can only be sold for three Poole copper coins.

But a kilogram of sweet powder was sold for ten Poole copper coins.

Although the price is high, the villagers have made a lot of money from the lord William during this time.

First of all, some villagers couldn't hold back their appetite and bought sweet powder at the grocery store.

The taste of sweet porridge easily conquered the appetite of the villagers, and the brown bread that used to be hard to swallow.

William was secretly fueling the flames, creating the notion that one would be inferior if he did not drink sweet porridge, and sweet porridge became popular throughout the village at a rapid pace.

Through this scissors difference, William quickly collected the funds that had been distributed, and then paid them out again as a reward.

After solving the food crisis in the small village of Nisse, Sweet Powder also alleviated William's economic crisis to a certain extent.

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

The weather is getting colder and colder.

The wind is biting, and I don't know when the lizardmen will invade!

With these trivial matters taken care of, William was ready to devote all his energies to the training of sixty members of the Guardians and fifty Wild Servants.

After all, force is the key to dealing with lizardmen.

However, a wave of unevenness has arisen again and again.

Just two days after training the guards, William's housekeeper Old John came to report in a hurry that there were eight wild slaves sleeping in the shack and freezing to death in the cold night, and a villager family had a high fever because they soaked sweet powder directly in the turbid sewage.

There weren't many effective medicines in this era, at least for civilians.

When civilians get sick, most of them choose to resist.

If you can bear it, you will continue to live.

If you can't bear it, you will be born as soon as possible.

Every year, many people die of illness like this!

People have long been accustomed to it.

For this, William was helpless.

He had to put aside his training work for the time being, and first went to the sick villager's house to check, and found that the water in the villager's water was polluted and had a faint foul smell.

Such water, even boiling, they dare to drink it directly? William's heart was full of calls for the courage of this villager!

William guessed that they drank these "poisonous waters" first, and then the temperature dropped sharply last night, and their bodies couldn't bear it all of a sudden, so they collectively launched a high fever.

The only one who didn't have a fever was the eldest son of the family, who was young and strong, and it was estimated that he was able to survive by his body.

At this time, he squatted next to his family with a sad face, panicked and didn't know what to do!

William was speechless, and he asked the villager, who was not sick, to pick up some clean living water, boil it and cool it, and give it to the sick to drink.

He then asked him to find some pieces of clean linen, soak them in water and moisten them, and put them on the patient's forehead to reduce the heat.

The rest can only look at creation.

After leaving the villager's house, William asked old John and old Gretel about the drinking water of the villagers, and was surprised to find that there were many cases in the village where the drinking water in the homes of sick villagers was degraded.

At most, the water quality is not as bad as this villager, but it is not much better!

In particular, the village is now in a hurry, and the villagers are obsessed with working to make money, and they are even more neglectful of the sanitary conditions of drinking water.

Anyway, drinking the undead is what they think.

Before, it was okay, because their staple food, black bread, was baked and eaten, or broken and boiled in soup, so it was rare for the whole family to have a fever together.

But now the whole village is hooked on William's sweet powder.

This "magical" sweet powder is easy to eat, as long as you add water.

William's wild slaves were fed in strict accordance with William's requirements, and they used boiling hot water.

However, in order to save trouble, the villagers often directly add cold water.

The knowledge of his past life made William know how serious the security risks were here.

He immediately demanded that the water he drank in the future must be boiled.

Old John and Old Gretel looked at each other, stopped talking, and finally replied, "Yes!" ”
