Chapter 049
"This ...... This really refreshed my stereotypes and prejudices about aristocracy. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Jiao Ming muttered. Jiao Ming originally thought that the so-called nobles were all old with fat brains, small oily heads and noodles, and women were sour and mean...... Wait a minute. But this kind of noble lord who personally farmed the fields was really unexpected, and then suddenly remembered that there were several stone arch bridges on the way from Sardinia to the castle estate, and thought that those huge stones should also be the masterpiece of these giant monsters.
"You built the bridges on the road yourself?"
"Of course, otherwise those huge piers would not be able to lift these coolies from exhaustion. Binglian then explained: "Those guys in the south should be very much in line with your imagination, so your original impressions and prejudices can't be miscalculated. In fact, in the whole continent, the lords of the remote areas still retain some aristocratic spirit, and the rich areas are nine out of ten corrupt and degenerate. ”
Binglian then patted the table lightly and said, "Don't talk about those things that are far away in the sky, what to do about this problem of insufficient labor?"
Jiao Ming turned his thinking back from the direction of the nobles going to the fields to farm and moving bricks on the construction site, and finally fell on the third one. "We have to hire the people from the nearby villages. ”
"Why?"
"In the long run, when the territory develops in the future, it is impossible for the lord and the lord to be in a semi-antagonistic state all the time. Jiao Ming recalled that when the new Zhongguo was established, the people's sentiment on both sides of the victory and defeat, as well as the importance attached to the people's will by all dynasties, understood that the people's sentiment would have to be passed sooner or later. In other words, the relationship of trust is a necessary condition for the development of the territory, and trust is cultivated little by little, which is the first step in establishing a relationship of trust. ”
Binglian shook her head with a bitter face and said, "This is really difficult. ”
"Freezing three feet is not a day's cold, and if you want to resolve it, it is naturally not a day's warmth. Jiao Ming roughly translated this proverb into the local dialect of the crocodile collar. He added: "The human heart is made of flesh, and as long as you persevere, trust will inevitably be re-established." ”
"But what we're missing is time. Binglian retorted.
"Alas, why are we short of time?" Jiao Ming was a little puzzled. In Jiao Ming's plan, the purpose of building a house for the cow is to improve the sanitary environment, and winter has a natural sanitary advantage, so it is only necessary to build a house before the beginning of spring next year.
"My father would come back here during the autumn harvest and I wanted to make some achievements before then. Binglian explained.
"Otherwise, ......?" Jiao Ming asked.
"Nothing, otherwise, even if you don't show results, it's nothing. Binglian smiled bitterly. "After all, I've let him down for years, I just want to ......"
"Don't say it, I understand. Jiao Ming immediately felt empathy, when he was on earth, he was also placed on high hopes by his parents, and although he wanted to, he never met his parents' expectations, this feeling is not difficult to understand. "Unfortunately, there is no such thing as time. ”
Binglian took a few deep breaths, suppressed her impatience, calmly thought about the development of the territory, and finally nodded, and discussed it step by step: "If you want the territory to be rich, you really can't let the people of the territory be poor. There is still some time before the autumn harvest, and the lords should be idle, so let's recruit from nearby and give it a try. ”
"There is another problem, the two of us are only two people when we are tired, and we should find some like-minded helpers. Jiao Ming has been spinning like a spinning top in the past few days, but he always feels that it is far from his expected goal, the limitation of coal and metal is on the one hand, and the lack of available manpower under his command is on the other.
The old door panel is twenty years younger and has the current sleekness, which is the ideal subordinate, and the small door panel can only let you do whatever you want. The others Jiao Ming had little contact with and didn't know about it, but it seemed that they were either martial idiot-type guards or completely numb coolies, and they didn't have the passion to build a territory at all.
When Xiao Shi heard this, she suddenly raised her hand timidly: "I want to help." ”
"I know you haven't read a book, you've been listening to us. Jiao Ming said angrily, and rubbed Xiaoshi's head. "You read the book well, and figuring out your magic is the greatest help. ”
"It's good that I can know a third of the words in this book, and it's all those simple conjunctions, I can't understand them at all. Xiao Shi complained.
Jiao Ming set her eyes on the ice lotus, but she replied like this: "I can't understand the part of the earth-based magic medium, there are too many rare words. "After making trouble for a long time, it turned out to be the same situation as Jiao Ming.
"Ahem. It seemed that this answer was a bit embarrassing for the lord's heir, so he coughed twice and then changed the topic and gave a solution to the talent problem: "If you really can't do it, let those children go to it, it's also a kind of exercise." Binglian is also aware of the lack of managerial talents.
"It's so reasonable to hire child labor, you're amazing. ”
"Strictly speaking, it's not hiring, it's not paid at all. Ice Lotus smiled slyly.
"Won't it delay the course?" Jiao Ming tried to convince Jiao Ming to give up the child labor program from another angle.
"There is no lesson plan at all, so why delay, the lingua franca and mathematics are as much as they are spoken. The most important thing for children is the cultivation of magical warriors, so if they are asked to move stones in the name of cultivation, they will even get the approval of their parents!" Binglian seems to have figured it out, and the child labor plan is even more cruel.
"Then I'll have to follow the locals. Jiao Ming smiled bitterly and stopped persuading, but slapped his thigh again, and suddenly remembered those guys who followed the white-haired and muscular old man: "What about those guards in the castle?"
"I'm just a lord heir. It was fine to command them to defend the fortress, but it was difficult to direct them to do the work of coolies. Binglian said helplessly.
"Not in the name of training?"
"Where is there a child so easy to fool. ”
For the time being, the matter was settled, and after the cement kiln was built, we began to recruit laborers in nearby villages, although it was not optimistic, but the first step was always difficult, and after setting a good example, I hope that the situation will improve.
Tonight's discussion ended here, the magic lamp was extinguished, Bing Lian pushed Jiao Ming back into the room as usual, and when he was about to leave, Bing Lian spoke: "You are a natural six-ring water magic talent, and you are the second in the castle in terms of the number of rings, are you interested in starting some basic training, so that you can also speed up the regeneration of limbs." ”
"Like Vera's father?"
"Yes, I said it the day before yesterday. I'd like to ask for your opinion again this time. ”
"Let me think about it again, I'm really scared of pain. "A big man said to a girl that he was afraid of pain, and he was really a little faceless, but Jiao Ming understood that if he was big at this time, he would really be 'trained' very miserably tomorrow.
"It's that I'm a little anxious, if you can really become a six-ring magic warrior, it really helps a lot. Binglian nodded slightly and apologized: "I will respect your thoughts, even if you are not a six-ring magic warrior, you have already given me great confidence and help." Finally, I wish you a good night's sleep, sleep seems to help in the recovery of the soul's abnormal state. ”
Ice Lotus's figure faded away in the corridor. Only Jiao Ming and Xiao Shi were left in the room.
"I don't know what you experimented with the magic you did the night before, but don't be lazy. Jiao Ming reminded Xiaoshi.
"Got it. The hour said impatiently: "Come and lie down, big fool." ”
"I don't accept calling me stupid, you elementary school scumbag, I was ...... when I was in elementary school," Jiao Ming said as he lay on the bed.
"No matter how good the grades are, you're stupid!" Xiao Shi interrupted Jiao Ming's words. "Don't talk anymore, concentrate, I'm going to start. ”
Jiao Ming did as he was told, and soon fell into a deep sleep.
