Chapter 39: Reading

The next few days were uneventful. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

With the help of the local villagers of Moon, the residents who migrated from Yaxing quickly set up shacks that could barely shelter from the wind and even the rain, and relied on the daily completion of the work arranged by Lu Sien to receive the subsistence allowance, and successfully integrated with the previous residents.

However, there are no conflicts between the new villagers and the old villagers, and there may be some trivial frictions in daily life. However, under the pressure of the black-hearted old man Lu Sien, he is like tightening the clockwork every day, he is as tired as a dog when he works, and he sleeps like a pig when he rests, but he has no spare time to make trouble for Lu Sien.

Although as far as the current situation is concerned, there are no gatherings in the village, and there are no entertainment facilities, but it can't stop the villagers from gathering to complain about their lord when they are eating a big pot of rice.

Like, alas, the lord is a good lord, but why deprive me of my freedom to?

Yes, yes, I still go to that public bathhouse every five days to take a bath, and every time I go to take a bath, I am terrified, and I am really afraid that the gods will bring me sickness.

That's right, if only you didn't have to take a shower and just eat apples......

In this way, this idea of retardation resonated widely among the fish-lipped humans, and quickly brought the relationship between the two sides closer.

Without Lu Sien knowing it, if he knew, he would probably have to whip them to death.

Besides, it's the mountain people who are prisoners of war, well, now called coolie slaves. Nearly two hours away from Moon was a rocky hill where the son of Ford's butler, a fellow named Matthew, with a few strong men, set up a quarry (the name was very high, in fact, a shack on the edge of the hill) to mine some large pieces of rough every day, and then carry them to the estate with special rations.

Except for the first few days, after running away a few diehards one night, and the rest were whipped by Lu Sien with a whip, the rest of the people were all corrupted by the wheat cakes that were full of two meals a day, and they worked honestly every day, but they did not continue to make trouble for Lu Sien.

Every evening, the unprocessed rough stones are sent to the manor, and the six knights under the command of Lu Sien are processed into standard size stones. For the skilled knight Ji, using the armed hand half-sword that sharpens iron like clay, it only takes six brushes at most, and a few seconds of work can be worth the work of a stonemason for several days.

Of course, these are just expedient measures, Knight Ji and Lu Sien are not strictly subordinate, the relationship between the two sides should be followers, maybe not either. Hmm, it can be classified as a mercenary, exclusive mercenary, high-level special exclusive mercenary. If there are some inherent attributes to explain Lu Sien half-faced, it can be regarded as a specialty of the Dawn White Dragon Knights.

And although it is said that it is a hire, but Lu Sien, the black-hearted boss, when he was in Pande, gave each member a super black-hearted price of 1 dinar per week, maybe this pot should not be carried by Lu Sien, it is the fault of the bastard who modified the MOD before.

Now, Lu Sien pays the knights a fixed commission every week, uh, not a dime, and each knight may have pocket money of a hundred gold coins, but in this poor and remote place, there is not even a channel for consumption. In exchange, Lu Sien is now responsible for the maintenance of each knight's weapons and equipment, war horses, and also provides food and lodging for the knights.

Having said that, the knight's work should include a combat section, but considering that the first stones from this beginning were all used for the construction of the temple, it is a special case.

If you are a serious knight, I mean that most ordinary knights, when there is no war, in addition to daily exercise, in their free time, they are doing middle and high-level management work in places such as blacksmith shops, breeding farms, tanneries, wineries, orchards, etc., but now little Moon does not have a stage that allows them to display these talents, not only them, but even Lu Sien does not look down on this place.

It's a little far, and I'm looking back at Lu Sien's side.

Lu Sien is now engaged in a very shameful job, reading!

That's right, all three elements of the reading of the Code of Order have been satisfied, and it can finally be read. However, however, there is no other extraordinarily extraordinary, as Lu Sien imagined, and its demand is to read all the previous texts, including chronicles, singing praises to the gods, and the ancient myths of Pande, 1,000 times!

The most important thing is to read it out loud! There are actually not a lot of similar appearances, the whole article is only nearly 10,000 words of content, Lu Sien is now hiding alone on the second floor of the manor, driving out all the others, including his mother and little Lori, and is reading the Code of Order aloud for the 247th time, Dad, this thing has to be read out loud, the key is that it must also be on the core of the territory under his control, more than two hundred times, Lu Sien is about to memorize it backwards, but there are still more than seven hundred times waiting for him.

So these days, in addition to sweating every morning to do the daily exercise, every afternoon is to read and read with everyone to eat.

As an aside, these days, the cook has become the most popular person in the entire manor, because when Lu Sien, the bastard, starts reading in the afternoon, he will be very irritable, and the six relatives will not recognize him, and this situation will continue until the beginning of dinner. Because of a few limited trespasses in the afternoon, Lu Sien had already smashed several delicate ceramic teacups, which distressed Mrs. Cabas.

"Tell me about today. At dinner, Lu Sien rubbed the corners of his eyebrows, which were a little swollen, and asked as usual.

"Hmph!" "Hmph!" little Lori expressed her dissatisfaction every day, Lu Sien offended little Lori a lot these days, little Alice saw that her brother was studying so hard, and kindly brought fruit over to condole, but before she had time to knock on the door, Lu Sien threw a glass of water on the door, scared people away, and scared to cry, and the cup that Lu Sien broke was counted on Alice's head by the bullying and afraid of Mrs. Carbas, and said again. Makes little Alice angry, "My brother is a big fool!"

Lu Sien's face darkened, he touched his nose and had to laugh dryly, speaking of which, now only Alice in the entire manor can cure Lu Sien a little.

"Well, yes, young master, by this day the barn and the sheepfold have all been erected, the cattle are in good health, and we will be able to harvest the first wool before midsummer.

200 acres of farmland have been reclaimed in the place you have demarcated, but what kind of seeds are planted, the big guys have not yet come to a conclusion......

"Well, 200 acres, it's almost, let's arrange it tomorrow, plant cabbage, beans, oats, barley, wheat and hemp, get it faster, the first rain will fall in the next few days." Lu Sien replied as he tore at the roast pheasant (sent by Rupee) in front of him. "Also, after doing this, if there is spare manpower, let them open 100 acres of land in the west, this is not in a hurry, just scatter the alfalfa seeds when the time comes. He subconsciously rubbed the corners of his forehead, and his brain hurt from reading in the past few days.

"Ellie, what's going on over there. Lu Sien turned his gaze in the direction of Knight Ji again.

"Your Excellency, Grand Master, we have sent a two-person team to patrol the borders of the territory every day in the past few days, but there is nothing unusual to find, Earl Morn only bluffed the peasants in the territory at the beginning, and then I don't know what the reason is, it seems to have died down. However, we still can't let our guard down, maybe there is some conspiracy behind it. ”

(Actually, the news that Lu Sien had exterminated the Red Dog reached the Black Hoof territory.) )

"Well, that's what I'm saying, I understand, so do you have enough stone for building the temple?"

"I'm about to report to you that it's complete, and the warehouse in the village is already full of 80 standard units of stone bricks, and even a temple like the main church in the town of Rolls is barely enough. Can we stop this work and concentrate on restoring our strength?" the knight reported like Lu Sien.

"Well, I'm a little embarrassed to say that, but the situation now is that you need to continue to work hard and process some more stones. After hesitating for a moment (in fact, there was no hesitation at all in my heart, the expression was acted!), Lu Sien still spoke, "However, I can pay you extra money......"

"Captain!" Lu Sien's insincere performance was seen through by the knights at a glance, and Yuna interrupted Lu Sien's speech without hesitation, "Work like a coolie, but it's not what a knight should do. Moreover, not to mention that you paid us, in this place, even the pocket money you gave us last time has no place to use it!"

"Uh" This is very embarrassing, but Lu Sien in his memory seems to do this kind of thing often, so he doesn't care at all, although if he finally gives the order, the knights will still obey, but this will hurt the favor of the knights, this thing is much more important than the favor of the group of villagers outside. "It's not a shortage of manpower, you know, but I found out that my father chose a good place when he built this village, do you know why there is not even a well in such a large village? I also found out the day before yesterday, there are several mountain springs on the hill behind the house, if I plan it well, I would like to use it to build a big bath before the summer comes......"

"Don't say it, Captain!" Ellie suddenly slammed the table, startling the lady and little Alice, who were looking at them in a daze, saying that during this time, most of the mothers and sisters had such expressions when they observed the communication between Lu Sien and the knights. "With all due respect, now that the territory is in such a state of ruins, the regiment commander is still not suitable to directly launch these large-scale projects that waste manpower, but, considering such a sincere request from the regiment leader, this time, this time, not as an example!"

"Ouch, you're ...... ,Uh,Um,Well,Uh,Don't take an example,Don't take an example,...... next one," Lu Sien's head chick pecked rice, "Come on, come on, cheers!"
