Well, in fact, there is only one thing that is really useful.
"Move them all out. Lu Sien sighed helplessly, and together with the knights, he piled all the rusted parts that had not been properly maintained on top of the cart, and let a colt drag them to the garden. After the battle, the only income at the moment is these horses, but most of them are some colts, which are slow and have slightly higher stamina. Just endure hardships and stand hard work, and there are no other advantages. In Lu Sien's standards, there are only three horses that can be used in battle, the mount of the red jackal, a red military horse, a cyan steppe horse of the Viper, and the hunting horse ridden by the unknown knight who was shot to death by Lu Sien with an axe.
The speed is a little slower than the previous dead horse, but the body is much stronger, which is reflected in the upper limit of health, and in this backward frontier land, it can be regarded as a good breed horse. Rao is so, none of these horses can reach the level of armor combat, and the best red military horse in the sky can barely hang a metal baffle on the chest. None of them are Lu Sien's ideal mounts, barely making do.
After all this, the people of the village had to wait in the open space at the gate of the manor.
Lu Sien sat on top of his new mount, looking at the respectful, admiring, and delighted leaders who looked at him with satisfaction, and nodded secretly in his heart.
For these struggling tenant farmers, the only prayer was to have barely enough food, to be free from burning and looting, and to have a fire to ward off the cold wind in winter. Lu Sien, who fulfilled all these prayers, was undoubtedly a perfect lord in their hearts.
Lu Sien spoke: "I am very satisfied with the changes I have seen during this time, looking at your appearance, it seems that no one has violated my decree, and now I have a new order to announce!"
I heard that the people were accustomed to a tightness, but then they relaxed again, probably to levy their labor, and now even the most stupid people understand that doing work for Lord Lu Sien has enough food every day. Over the past month, not only the changes in the manor, but also the daily work and adequate diet have made the people much stronger and stronger, and most of the dishes on their faces have gradually disappeared.
After a pause, Lu Sien looked through the crowd, and suddenly pointed out that a person was coming, "You, come here, yes, it's you, come forward and tell me your name." Lu Sien chose the cleanest of all the people in the crowd.
"Old, sir, my father named me Raul. Raul, who was pointed out by Lu Sien alone, saw this formation for the first time, and he trembled so much that he straightened his tongue.
Lu Sien carefully observed this cautious man, compared to others, the difference was very big, the exposed skin on his body was very clean, his hair was also neatly groomed, and although the clothes on his body had a long history, they were shabby. But it can be seen that it has been washed with a serious pulp. This man used the public baths a lot when they were first set up, and they made an impression on Lu Sien, a positive one, and now he was about to be rewarded for his enthusiastic response to the lord's call.
"Raul, tell me, how often do you go to the bathhouse on weekdays?" Lu Sien tried to make his expression as kind as possible.
"Once every two days, my lord. "I don't understand Lu Sien's purpose, Raul can't help but wonder in his heart, is the lord dissatisfied with his frequent use of public property, but he still doesn't dare to hide it, "The weather has been too cold recently, and I've only been there twice this week. ”
"Very good!" Lu Sien nodded again, "I still need two more people, people who are almost as clean as you, do you understand what I mean? ”
According to Lu Sien's instructions, Raul called out two more people in the crowd, both of whom were villagers who often met when bathing, a man and a woman also stood in front of Lu Sien with a cower, waiting for Lu Sien's next instructions.
"Alright, just the three of you for now. I am about to announce a new appointment. Lu Sien's gaze swept around again, and as far as he could reach, his voice quickly quieted, "I will appoint Raul as the first consular officer of Moon, and the remaining two will be his deputies." ”
There was an uproar in the crowd again, good guy, it's time to take a shower and wash up as an official. Before that, there was only one official in the village, the lord of the lord's butler, Lord Ford, who was the tax collector and treasurer. Now Raul is also an official master, he is really a lucky guy, and the villagers who went to the bathroom before were envious and regretted.
"Your daily job is to ensure that there is enough firewood and hot water available at all times in the public baths, and I give you the privilege of collecting firewood in my forest all year round without restrictions. Lu Sien continued, and there was a lot of chatter, this is a real benefit, but the main thing is still to come, "From now on, every adult who comes to use the public bath, equal to two children, must pay you a peso in return for providing them with hot water. ”
"Also, this part of the money can be divided into three parts, one part belongs to me, the one who provided this bathhouse, one part belongs to the three of you, the one who maintains this bathhouse, and the last part is used to maintain this building from damage. ”
"In addition, I give everyone a special privilege, as long as they clean their bodies according to the standards I have established, after bathing, they will receive an apple provided by the estate at each time, and of course, those who receive this preferential treatment will need to use the public bath at least twice a week. Whether the standard is met, in general, there will be three Raul to check. ”
"In addition, the three of you will receive a bag of wheat (a month's ration for two men) and twenty apples at the estate every month, and five pieces of dried meat or sausage and a barrel of ale wine from the estate every year, well, and a set of clothes. ”
And so Moon was born, and so the first civil servants of Moon were born.
Looking at the various expressions of the people below who were mostly full of remorse, Lu Sien was secretly refreshed, in this way, the implementation of the decree in the future would be much easier.
"Next, well, some time ago the tools in the village were all used up, but there is a lot of wood, starting tomorrow, well, wait a few more days, continue to work in a few days, these days Samon is working with all his might, all the iron materials and these discarded weapons sent by Pete are re-smelted into the tools I designate, let's make some axes, iron saws, chisels, by the way, first make a few big iron pots, give you three days, and I will pay you a subsidy of lim for each finished product. ”
"And these bows and arrows, Rupee and Vins, which will be my reward for your loyalty and the reward for your successive deliveries of prey to the manor these days. After knowing the meaning of arming, Lu Sien completely lost interest in this kind of bow and arrow that could only penetrate ordinary leather armor at most, and there were no resources to recycle the wooden bow and arrow, and this weapon that was sharper than the hunting bow used by the rupee for hunting was also rewarded by Lu Sien as an ordinary tool.
There was nothing else to do, so he beckoned the villagers who were all right to carry the sundries to the blacksmith shop together.
The crowd slowly dispersed, Lu Sien leisurely looked at the scattered hopeful people, and continued to think about what to do next, suddenly, he saw a few strangers in the crowd, and his brows furrowed obviously.
"Who are you from?Why are you so dirty, ignoring my decree?" Lu Sien suddenly shouted angrily, causing the surrounding villagers to look left and right in fear, secretly complaining about who was such a bastard and annoyed the lord.
Following Lu Sien's gaze, three or four children in their late teens were so dirty that they stared at Lu Sien with a blank gaze.
"Hey, it's just a few of you, what about the adults in your family?" The dirtiness of these children was obvious, they hadn't entered a public bathroom during this time, and Lu Sien really didn't expect that there would be such a bold person in his territory.
The eldest boy looked dumbfounded, and when he heard Lu Sien's question, he just shook his head silently, protecting several timid children behind him.
"Are you dumb? Who knows what's going on?" Lu Sien asked left and right, he didn't believe that no one knew, and thought that he could fool the past without speaking, and he had to teach them a good lesson today. Seeing that there was still no one to answer him, Lu Sien became more and more angry, held the whip in his hand, and was about to make a move.
"Sir, none of them are from any of them. Seeing that the lord was furious, the old rabbi who was still smiling and carrying things just now ran over and stopped Lu Sien.
"What do you mean?" Lu Sien forcibly held back his desire to get angry, why did he say something he didn't understand one or two today.
"Some of their parents have long since died, and some of them are farmers who have fled from the village and have been displaced in the village, and their parents may have been separated or died a long time ago. The child's name was Tommy, and a few years ago the men of the family had gone on an expedition with Master Cabas, and his mother had been killed by the wild beasts in the mountains one winter, and he lived with them, and was their leader. The old rabbis, the only one in the village who knew a little about the situation, busily explained, "In previous years they still had several people, but over the years there have been fewer and fewer children, and every winter, a few children are no longer visible......
The old rabbi muttered something at the end, Lu Sien didn't care anymore, he really hadn't thought about this kind of thing before, he was silent for a while, pointed at Tommy with his horsewhip, and spoke again, "Your father is a soldier in the village?"
"I don't know, sir. In a trance, Tommy finally spoke at the anxious signal of the old rabbi, and his dodgy eyes were hesitant, "When my mother was still there, it seemed that this was what she told me, and when my father came back with the lord, I would have warm clothes and enough food." But after you came back, I still didn't see my father. ”
This somewhat stunned kid couldn't tell the difference between the two masters at all, and tried his best to follow Lu Sien's question.
"That's enough, take me to your house!" Lu Sien's face sank, and he couldn't tell what he was thinking.
