261 police service
Not to mention Wu Qingchen, who has already seen the exaggerated salary slips of the earth, casually replaced by other souls from the 21st century of the earth, and he also has a natural immunity to all the so-called wealth in the medieval world.
However, this moment is a great opportunity: a shared collective experience is quite conducive to strengthening our relationship.
Looking at Wu Qingchen, who was holding two parchment rolls in both hands:
Pastor Praia's face was full of relief......
Steward Ifrit continued to admire......
The head of the village, the clerk, and the head of the police are full of envy......
All the other freedmen present entered a state of heat, heat, and fanaticism......
These different emotions expressed because of the difference in identity are quite immersive, full of the ritual sense of "witnessing the history of the village of Akrya".
Wu Qingchen could fully imagine that in the near future, even a few hours later, these people would use what tone of voice, what expressions, and people who did not appear here would talk about this moment.
- Not to mention the day-to-day freedmen and serfs, even for the ruling class of the medieval world, the granting of land was extremely rare.
In other words: this force, people can pretend for thirty years......
In this situation, is Wu Qingchen suitable for a calm face?
Therefore, as the protagonist, Wu Qingchen shook his spirits, performed the appropriate excitement exquisitely, and accompanied everyone to spend this unforgettable, pleasant, and wonderful together, which is guaranteed to make everyone present have endless memories...... Smoke time after the fact.
After about half an hour, the atmosphere finally returned to calm.
After Master Wu's land issue was dealt with, it was the turn of the servants to issue their houses and land.
"Lord Los's ......"
It was the clerk Thor who spoke first, he leaned over to Wu Qingchen's side, and pointed to the servants who were standing more than a dozen steps away: "Next, your land is going to let them work as police officers, right?" ”
"Yes." Wu Qingchen nodded.
The land that belongs to the lord is indispensable for the serfs who are forced to sweat and blood, and the police service who is responsible for forcing the serfs to work hard.
The large area of mature cultivated land that has been assigned to Wu Qingchen's name needs nearly fifty serfs to work, and the endless forest to be cultivated in the distance needs several times as many serfs.
Judging from the serf-police service ratio in the medieval world, the land area owned by Wu Qingchen is already close to fifty, and the scale of serfs that will exceed one hundred after a while, and it will take at least ten to twenty supporting police officers to operate normally.
The duties of the police dictate that they had to spend most of their time supervising the serfs.
Thus, each additional police service in the village means that there is a reduction in the mobilizable labor force and an increase in the ration allowance to support the survival of the police service.
Between this entry and exit, with the productivity of the medieval world, every increase or decrease in the number of police service places is the result of careful consideration.
A turnip and a pit, there are no idlers in the medieval world.
Half a month ago, in order to arrange for two police officers to accompany Wu Qingchen on a business trip, the steward and the pastor spent a lot of effort to coordinate; Now there is a double-digit shortage of police service, and stewards and priests are not satisfied with their hair.
The arrival of this group of minions solved the problem well.
First of all, this group of people are all servants of Wu Qingchen's students, and Wu Qingchen can naturally call them;
Secondly, this group of people are all financial personnel who are fully funded by the higher authorities (the lord and the church) and do not add an additional burden to the village of Eckley;
Again, being able to carefully select and follow out to take care of the master, the physical fitness of this group of people has passed the test;
Again, the use of this group of outsiders as police officers not only avoids the intricacies of interpersonal relationships in the village, but also avoids the impact of adding a large number of police officers all at once to the stable social structure of Ackri's village.
These are not secrets and are easy to deduce.
On Wu's way back to the village of Aikri in the early morning, the servants from the three regions, speaking their own dialects, were barely able to communicate through the difficult communication of several messengers.
At this moment, squatting next to the ridge, seeing the clerk coming to Wu Qingchen's side, pointing in the direction of his group, and hearing the words "land" and "police service" faintly heard, Arles from Fort Akford grabbed his companion beside him: "Angus, do you hear that?" Lord Loss wants us to do police service! ”
"Yes, I heard ......" Angus nodded: "...... You let go. ”
"Policeman...... Is the work of a police officer troublesome? ”
"It's okay, I'm not tired of work, I should be able to get more food...... Angus shrugged: "Whatever, anyway, it's our duty to serve Master Barson well." ”
"Hmm...... You're right. ”
"Another ......" pointed to the black marks that appeared on his wrists, and Angus looked at his companion coldly: "Can you let go?" ”
"Ah, I'm sorry......" Arles hurriedly let go.
At this moment, hearing Wu Qingchen's confirmation, the clerk Thor turned his head and beckoned in the direction of the servants: "Angus, Arles, Chas, Capa...... Come here. ”
The four names Thor called out were all servants from Fort Akford.
Under the gaze of the wives full of worry, apprehension, nervousness, hope, and many other complex emotions, four men from Fort Akford slowly walked up to the old men, took off their hoods, and looked at their toes obediently.
"Angus, Arles, Chas, Capa...... Right? ”
Thor had opened yet another parchment, and every name he pronounced, one of his servants answered.
"Good ......"
After confirming, Thor nodded, "Keep your heads up, don't look at the ground, Angus ......" ordered everyone to stand up straight, and Thor pointed to a dirt slope to the northwest in the direction of the stream: "See there?" There were two trees, and there was a slope where the stones were about to fall. ”
"See." Angus nodded.
"Well, that's good...... Thor nodded, "Your Excellency Praia, Your Excellency Ifrit, graciously allow you to build your family's wooden house there." ”
Angus leaned over and bowed deeply: "Thank you, Lord Praia, may the Lord always favor you." Thank you, Lord Ifrit, and may the Lord always be on your side. ”
The steward and priest waved their hands, and the clerk read out the next name: "Arles, look over there, there are some red trees on top of the thorns and stones, see?" ”
"Yes, clerk."
"That place, Lord Praia, Lord Ifrit, graciously allows you to build a family hut there."
"Thank you, Lord Praia, thank you, Lord Ifrit......" Arles also immediately bowed deeply to the two masters.
Next, the clerk also designated the location of the house for the two remaining servants.
As the clerk successively designated the location for the construction of the house, the faces of the four servants and the wives of the four showed surprise.
Close to the water source, moderate terrain, road on the side...... The four locations designated by the clerk were all very suitable for building houses.
However, what really excited the four families was that the clerk gave another surprise to the four families at the designated place to build their houses!
Judging from the conversation between the clerk and Lord Los just now, these people will indeed soon become the police service of the village of Akri and be responsible to Lord Los.
Therefore, it is obviously a good choice to place the residence of this group of future police officers close to the land of Lord Los to form a line of defense against serfs inside and thieves outside.
From this point of view, in order to make this line of defense stronger and more durable, it is inevitable that the land next to the residence of these police officers will be allocated to their new group of police officers.
For these ordinary freemen, it was no small surprise that they could obtain a piece of land that was far more fertile, smooth, and soft than ordinary land as a source of food;
And now, judging from the place where the clerk had designated the hut for the four men, and the interval between the four places, which exceeded the psychological expectations of the four, this surprise had surpassed the most optimistic expectations of the servants on their journey to the village of Akrya.
Sure enough, at this moment, pointing to the land in front of him, the clerk Thor took a deep breath and announced a heavenly decision:
"Lord Praia, Lord Ifrit, Lord Los, mercifully stream water...... Well, the little water, all the way to the common land where your hut is located, is lent to you to cultivate while you take care of Master Barson in the village of Anchore. ”
Every household was given a piece of land that was almost the same size as that of an ordinary free man's house, but far more fertile than it was, how flat it was, how soft it was, and how easy it was to cultivate!
"Ahh
Although they had a certain amount of psychological preparation, when the clerk really said this, the four servants couldn't help but exclaim in an instant, and their wives also covered their faces almost at the same time, and bean-sized tears couldn't help but gush out from between the fingers of the four women.
