Winter wheat is grown in the forest house, and the small mining village is below.

The land that Baron Galle gave to Romon included the hilly terrain and the small mining village below.

Romon rushed to the small mining village with a large number of men.

In fact, the conditions in the small mining village are several times better than in the forest village, where there is already a small fertile plain.

Coupled with the investment of a large amount of money and very detailed planning and design, the small mining village has undergone earth-shaking changes.

All kinds of dilapidated houses have long been demolished and rebuilt, and, according to Romon originally conceived, small wooden houses lined up on the left and right of the streets, each with about 100 square meters of vegetable fields, fenced up.

The brand-new houses make the villagers here feel like they have flown from hell to heaven all at once.

The smooth village road, paved with stones, will not bring up dust. And on rainy days, there is basically no such muddy scene.

In a small remote village where there are few shops in general, because of the transformation of the village and the convenience of Romon for the convenience of these villagers, they have opened some simple shops.

Department stores, mills, bakeries, and blacksmith shops, although not as good as the town, are also small and well-equipped, but they are also some of the places that benefit the people.

By now, most of them have been built, and those that are still under construction are the lord's villa and the basic shrine.

So, in the morning, there were construction workers coming and going, and horse-drawn carts carrying stones came from far away. And all kinds of materials are constantly being transported.

"My lord, where does the altar begin?" someone in the village asked respectfully.

Although the style of each god is different, the model is exactly the same as the most basic altar.

In front of him, Romon was holding the blueprint in his hand and looked down. Hearing the construction worker's inquiry, he raised his head, and then pointed to the nearest place to himself and said, "From here, all the way around this line is covered with stones, and here, here, all the thicker......"

"Yes, sir, don't worry, we'll do things seriously. The man hurriedly promised.

And Luo Meng nodded, his thin lips pursed slightly, looking at the altar that had already begun to be built, and he was quite expectant in his heart.

In a few days, the work here will be completed, and a brand new village will appear in front of everyone. This is the second village in his domain, and managing it well will not only bring him a harvest, but also bring enough glory.

"Romon!" someone urged the horse to come.

Romon looked up and saw that it was Sukar, who he was waiting for.

Sukar has always appeared as an overseer of various constructions, and because he has many acquaintances in various places, has been to many places, and his surname is resolute, and what is even more rare is that his loyalty to Romon is absolutely undoubted, so every time he buys materials, he is the one who comes forward.

And the construction site can't leave him, so this time, as soon as he finished buying the materials, he rode over, and those materials were transported in the back, and they were transported immediately.

Seeing that Romon was standing outside the construction wall, Sukar quickly turned over and dismounted, tied the horse aside, and walked over.

"You're here, what's the matter, the materials are ready? Is the purchase going well? Are you tired? If you're tired, go and rest first. Romon said.

Sukal smiled: "Yes, Romong, I have bought it back, I am not tired, I rested for a while, and now I am in good spirits." ”

"Really?" Luo Meng looked at him, and sure enough, he saw that there was no tiredness on his face, and he also knew that the other party's physical strength was quite good, so he put his mind at ease.

"It's good for you to come back, since that's the case, it's still up to you to take care of the affairs here, you are responsible, I don't worry, I'll go back and discuss the land reclamation with Nick, here, please leave it to you." ”

This resolute and resolute man was really the best choice to be an overseer. Seeing him rushing over, Romon immediately easily gave way.

Sukar nodded: "Romon, leave the matter to me, you can rest assured, I will definitely do it well." ”

"Eun, I believe in you, but don't be too tired, just point them out on the side. Romon handed a sketch to Sukar and explained it carefully.

“...... That's it, you understand everything, don't you?" asked Romon after he finished speaking.

Sukar simply repeated the content again, and then asked, "Well, is that so, my lord?"

Luo Meng sighed secretly, sure enough, he is not a person, such a resolute and fierce person with such a strong appearance has such a good memory: "Well, that's the case, Sukal, then this place will be handed over to you, I will go over and see the reclamation first." ”

"Okay. Sukar agreed.

When Romon turned over and got on the horse, urged the horse to take a few steps, and looked back, he saw that Sukar had quickly entered the state, and was seriously watching the workers to build.

Seeing this, Romon smiled knowingly, and then, urging the horse to leave, came to the plain outside.

It was already October, and the land was a little bare, with only brownish-yellow dirt exposed to the air, as it had just been cleared.

The smell of the fields stimulates people's sense of smell, and the lush vegetation that still grows on the hillside not far away still tells everyone that although autumn is coming, winter is still far away.

Because of the need to transport materials for construction during this time, it is inevitable that some trivial stones, clods of soil and other things will fall on the road, and the road will not be so smooth, making the horses very bumpy.

Not far away, Nick was leading a large group of people to plant winter wheat.

The area of the small mining village is very large, and the fields within the walls, there are also 1,000 acres, which are divided into the lord's own land, and the fields outside the walls have been ploughed with 16 oxen, and there are 2,000 acres, and the hilly slopes have not been developed.

"Romon, your face isn't very good-looking. Nick was also taken aback when he first saw him like this.

As soon as Nick commanded the people to work, he saw Romon with this appearance and hurriedly walked over.

Luo Meng looked at him angrily and looked at his fuss: "It's not that this road is not easy to walk." ”

"Yo hehe, it turned out to be a faint horse. Nick knew that Romon would be fine for a while, and Suo laughed. In other words, he learned the word "fainting horse" from Luo Meng, and now he has used it very skillfully, at least, he uses it very well now.

Romon came down depressed, walked a few steps, and then felt alive again. Immediately, he said, "This road needs to be repaired, especially the one that goes down from the hills, it is better if it does not rain or snow, but if it is winter, it will definitely cause trouble." ”

"I've noticed this, but that's not the point, and when the construction is all done, it will be dealt with. Nick was once again accustomed to conjuring a pen and a book from his hand, and the reason why he used a word was because Romon really didn't see where he had put the book and pen together.

Nick was wearing a robe with a round neck, no pockets and no pockets, and I don't know where he put his pen and Ben with him.

"What do you want to say?" Romonso didn't guess his surname, knowing that Nick would definitely tell him what he had summarized next, so Romon took a leisurely stroll, looking at Nick with expectant eyes.

Nick was accustomed to his appearance for a long time, he turned the page of the small book, and told Romon as he read it: "The problem we are about to solve now is that the development of the land around the small mining village is now in October, although it is a little late to plant, but it is not completely overtime, we just need manpower now, within this month, all the land will be sown, and take care of it, after all, these lands used to be fertile farmland, it is a pity to be wasted like this! Our territory has just been built, unlike other territories, which have squandered capital, so no piece of land can be wasted......

Romon nodded, looking at the two thousand acres of land, even if there were cattle ploughing, this land would be difficult to take care of.

"At present, there are 32 households in the small mining village, each with 30 acres of land, all of which have been allocated, only 1,000 acres of land have been allocated, and there are 1,000 acres, at least 30 households. In addition, Luo Meng, you also need manpower for all kinds of workshops, and it is estimated that there will be 30 households, and on the hills, it is said that you are going to plant all the apple groves? This is a big project, and it also needs to be taken care of by manpower, and the special pasture left behind also needs manpower, in short, now in the village, at least 100 or so households are needed to meet the needs, and besides, you have built hundreds of wooden houses, so it is really not good to have vacant land and houses, I mean, can you solve the problem of people? That's what we should be concerned about right now. ”

"Oh, yes, these are questions that do need to be considered, you continue. Romon nodded, looking at Nick earnestly.

Nick continued: "Isn't there already a migration of people here, and since this model is good, we can continue to move some people from other places, so that the population of the village can develop and solve the immediate difficulties." What do you think?"

"Yes. Not bad. After a moment of silence, seeing that Nick's eyes were already beginning to glow with anger, Romon said, "Just do it." ”

After a pause, he said: "However, the lords belong to the lords, and if we want to recruit the lords, we must be in the city to recruit, but Apus City, after all, the scale is not large, don't look at the last time in the forest village, it is easy to recruit dozens of families, but if you want to recruit hundreds of families in a small mining village, it will be difficult to do it." ”

Under the feudal system, not only the land belonged to the lord, but even the people belonged to the lord, and a peasant was the "person" of the lord.

Theoretically, even if the peasant family starved to death, it was his lord's people, and he could not move to other territories to live casually.

Of course, in every world, there are rules, and in return, the peasants do not participate in the war, and the gods have jointly issued a myth that they are not allowed to attack the "non-combatants", especially the peasant class, and at the same time the lords are not allowed to send the peasants into battle unless the peasants are granted the status of freemen - this is because the peasants are the flock of the gods, and they do not have an effect on the victory or defeat.

Only freedmen can move freely, but how can freedmen, if they are idle, be willing to surrender their right to liberty and be reduced to peasants?

"So, are freedmen allowed?" asked Nick.

Romon frowned and said: "There can be and must be a certain percentage of freemen in the territory, because management, trade, craftsmen and the like must be freemen, but the foundation must be tenants, otherwise, the territory will not be maintained." ”

"It is said that there are not many free and poor people in the city of Aps. Nick frowned as well.

In a city, the inhabitants must be free men. Free merchants naturally belong to the ranks of free men, while unfree people such as serfs from the countryside acquire the status of freedom and become free citizens once they have lived in the cities for a year and one day, and their former masters cannot recover them.

Freemen are not allowed to be arbitrarily summoned to appear in court, arrested and interrogated at will, imprisoned and tried at will, and have considerable authority, so they are not in difficulty and do not become tenants.

"That's only one recruited among the mercenaries again, but unfortunately those who are willing to accept the recruitment are all disabled or old mercenaries. Romon frowned as well, and that's why.

Most of the mercenaries, who were not freedmen or tenants, gained some of the rights of the freedmen, and thus lost some of the security guarantees - for example, war, which often dragged them into battle as cannon fodder.

The two thought for a moment, and Luo Meng waved his hand and said, "No matter what, this time we will use the people of the Forest Village first, and join forces to plant the winter wheat first, and then we will talk about it later." ”

"That's all there is to it. Nick agreed, and after a moment, he asked, "What is the pasture in this village for? Cattle and horses want to graze, so they can be put in the field, so why bother to open up a field?"

"I said you're stupid, you still don't believe it, it's for Fafer. Seeing that Nick was still a little puzzled, Luo Meng said: "Fafer has a formal knight education, and he has made rapid progress, maybe he will be promoted to level four, and he may be promoted to level five in the future, this basic configuration, you must always prepare!"

said, and explained: "The regular knight's armor is worth 150 gold coins, and the knight's war horse is worth 120 gold coins, which is equivalent to the price of 50 bulls, and that's not all, the key is that this kind of war horse, because it has to bear hundreds of kilograms and fight, so it can't eat ordinary weeds, and there must be special pastures to provide high-quality pasture." ”

"Besides, a knight, with at least five armed attendants, must also be provided with chain mail, spears, shields, and swords, and horses of inferior rank, so that it is more convenient to have pastures. ”

"A knight must have at least 1,000 acres of land to maintain, and although I can't afford to give me a fiefdom now, I must at least have the treatment of a knight!" Romon said.

Nick understood this and nodded again and again.
