Chapter 50: A Thousand Clues

Building a wall or a city wall, this kind of thing is not like a war, the elderly and children can participate, the strength of shoveling soil or something may not work, who can't splash water?

In just over a day, the villagers had built a five-meter-high wall that would enclose the entire grizzly village, according to Ziggy's arrangement! This temporary wall was not only high enough, but also wide enough for the defending soldiers to walk around the wall, and the walkway on the wall could provide enough bow and arrow support if the steppe orcs came to raid.

This is not a miracle, but it is a miracle, you only need to shovel up and shovel the soil and water, the wall will be frozen into ice by the cold weather, the villagers of Grizzly Village have not learned any physics, the common sense of life is still there, after the water freezes, it is as hard as a stone, understand this principle, the villagers look at Ziggy eyes have all changed, no longer all kinds of miscellaneous feelings in the past, but unified worship!

The village chief is so wise! He can think of such a method! -- this is the unanimous voice of the villagers.

This ring of walls was built, and Ziggy didn't even pay for it, why?

If you want to become a shareholder, you must fully support the work of the village chief Zige!

Daddy Jean couldn't close his mouth this day, looking at the tall city wall, Daddy Jean felt that he was getting old.

Father Jean is both unfortunate and fortunate, although he has three sons and a grandson, but there is also a grandson and a granddaughter in the family, and the three daughters-in-law are all there, that is, the grandson and granddaughter are still young and need someone to take care of them.

This is equivalent to a difficult household.

Ziggy didn't have time to care about Daddy Jean's attitude now, for such a stubborn old man, and at the same time a poor old man who was killed by the previous village chief with three sons and one grandson, Ziegy had no way to show off his might to him, this circle of walls was already a resounding slap in the face, what else could he toss him again?

As the head of the entire village, Ziggy's most important thing now is to make sure that the frozen walls are strong enough.

"Bang bang!" Ziggy hammered the frozen earth wall with his fist, it was stronger than he had imagined, and the entire wall was frozen as solid as ice in the cold, and Ziggy was pleased with the result.

The frozen earth wall was only a stopgap measure, and in the second half of spring, when the temperature began to rise, the entire circle of the wall would become a tofu slag project, and it was estimated that it would fall down if pushed down, but this bought Ziggy time to build a stronger stone wall, and there were still four months before the snow melted in late spring, and in these four months, it was enough for Ziggy to build a whole circle of stone walls around Grizzly Village.

With the wall built, Ziggy can rest assured that he will be able to arrange the subsequent economic and military development plans of Grizzly Village.

First of all, it is to continue the sale of sheep.

In view of the excessive pressure on the sales of the previous batch of sheep, and Biden they are the main military force, and they can't keep running to sell sheep, Ziggy decided to increase the manpower, so as to ensure that there will be no hoarding of sheep, as for the sale or not, Ziggy is not worried, the nobles are much richer than the poor, and there are more than a few hundred barons and dozens of viscounts living in the entire Silver Dome City and the villages and towns near the Silver Dome City, and the number of knights is even more.

The Holy Odin Empire has been established for more than 400 years, and there are already many nobles who have been feudalized in the middle, not only do not have to pay taxes, but can also collect taxes from the residents in their own territories, and these residents must pay taxes to the empire in addition to paying taxes to the noble lords, and the gap between the rich and the poor between the nobles and the poor is getting wider and wider.

Ziggy doubted that the poor people didn't have much money to collect taxes from the poor, and the empire's financial situation didn't know how to do it, and whether it could maintain the expenses of the entire imperial system?

But Ziggy can't manage that much, as long as the whole sale can be completed.

Secondly, it is to arrange some apprentices for Finn as soon as possible, Finn is too inefficient in producing iron pots, and can only make one iron pot a day.

And looking at the appearance of the werewolf orcs of the Hegus tribe, they were more enthusiastic about trading than Ziggy, and threw those sheep to Zig like a hot potato, which made Zig puzzled for a while, until when building the frozen earth ice wall, Ziggy helped dig the soil to figure out the reason for this - the weather was cold, the grass on the grassland withered, and there was no way to support so many livestock.

This is equivalent to the fact that the werewolf orcs of the Hegus tribe are selling the mortal livestock and waste to Zig, and the ridiculous Qige also gives them a wholesale price, and even if Qige buys these livestock that they can't feed in the pasture, they will agree to it.

For the first time, Ziggy felt that he had been calculated by the werewolf orcs!

According to this estimate, in the future, the werewolf orcs of the Hegus Department will send a large number of sheep over more frequently, and Ziggy now owes the Hegus Department nine iron pots, and there is no iron pot to deliver to the orcs, maybe there are other unnecessary troubles, such as the werewolf orcs of the Hegus Department think that they are in breach of contract or something.

Now that the Hegus Ministry is coming to attack him, he is not afraid, but without a partner, where will Ziggy get sheep to sell?

Thirdly, there is the issue of military structures such as city walls and archer towers.

It is necessary to organize and hire more people to build stone walls and stone archer towers as soon as possible, otherwise as soon as the winter passes, the entire grizzly village will be in a state of naked defense, and this matter also needs a shareholder to operate, and it is also a matter that needs to be carried out as soon as possible, the construction period of the stone city wall is too long, it is best to start construction now.

Then it is to explore the limestone mine as soon as possible, only with the limestone mine, Zig can produce cement, and it will be convenient to build all kinds of buildings in the future, military buildings and civilian buildings will be used, if the development of Grizzly Village goes well, it will soon be expanded, and then the current city wall will definitely not be enough to protect the villagers.

Fourth, the expansion and development of Grizzly Village requires a large number of immigrants, and Ziggy has to find a way to attract villagers from other villages to move in, and Ziggy has no good way to do this for the time being, so that the farmers of other villages can see the wealth of Grizzly Village, so that they can consciously take the initiative to move in, but the process is very slow.

Fifth, trading with the steppe orcs can't just trade the iron pot, nor can it just trade with a Heguth department, to use a modern word, it is to diversify.

But this matter is not in a hurry, because now Ziggy and the cooperative do not have so much sales power, and the less people know about the transaction with the steppe orcs, the better, now all the northern human villages and towns are at war with the steppe orcs, and some of them have been ruined by the steppe orcs, if people know that the grizzly bear village and the steppe orcs have a close relationship, maybe a "human traitor" hat will be buttoned up.

Sixth, train more militias as soon as possible.

These things are easy to do, but it takes time, so let Jack the archer and Broadbent, the shield swordsman, train the young adults in the village, generally from ordinary people to become a qualified soldier, it takes at least three months, and the nutrition has to keep up, how can you train without food and strength?

With money and sheep, the young adults in the village who participated in the training can not only eat enough but also eat meat, and their nutrition can definitely keep up, but they can't be quick in time.

It seems that some wild land needs to be built into a training ground for soldiers.

There is also the purchase of equipment, because the frozen soil wall has been built, the defense is no longer a problem, but the soldiers' equipment is almost zero, bows and arrows, armor, shields, steel swords, are all costly, otherwise the knights equipped with armor, how can they be classified as nobles? It is because this set of equipment is too expensive, ordinary people can't afford it at all, and even the state treasury can't afford it, so they can only adopt the system of supporting knights by the people.

To sum up, it is a hundred wastes waiting to be rebuilt, and there are thousands of problems.

Fortunately, now the income of Grizzly Bear Village or cooperatives is not a problem, with money, these can be done, but it takes time to make money, and it takes manpower to train soldiers and build city walls.

Lack of people! Lack of time! There is no one and time, and the little money that Sieghard has worked so hard to save will be reimbursed immediately!

Grizzly Village is always facing the threat of the prairie orcs, just this little military strength, no archer towers, not enough soldiers, just with Ziggy himself and his eight guardian knights, it is a dream to defend Grizzly Village, the raiding team of the prairie orcs is more than fifty people, the entire Grizzly Village will be finished, and Zig will also lose his life.

But there is no way, the meal has to be eaten bite by bite, Rome was not built in a day.

The frozen earth walls were built, and of course the sheep could not live with people all the time, and the sheepfolds were moved outside the walls, next to the base of the walls, and when they were attacked, they drove the sheep into the walls.

Along these lines, Ziggy assigned tasks to Biden, his henchmen, and the cooperative's shareholders.

Little Chuck is now promoted to the position of sales manager of the cooperative, responsible for recruiting villagers to drive sheep to sell in various towns, and even to sell in Yinding City, of course, the villagers recruited are not shareholders, but are paid according to the employment price.

How much is the wage? Twenty copper plates a day!

If you do a good job and do it actively, you will have the opportunity to become a shareholder.

Three or four copper plates a day for the nobles and lords, and a maximum of five copper plates! For the cooperative, twenty copper plates a day! This is several times over! Of course, Ziggy also gave instructions to Chuck Jr. that the number of hired workers is limited, and that priority should be given to villagers who actively support Ziggy.

Because of his outstanding performance, Renard was appointed by Ziggy as the village's engineering construction committee for the construction of the stone walls and archer towers, which was also a continuing incentive within the cooperative to let shareholders know that there were more benefits waiting for Ziggy to stand firmly on Ziggy's side.

The work is not easy, from hiring stonemasons and carpenters to digging rocks to transporting raw materials, everything has to be managed, and Delenard will be busy in the future.

Blacksmith Finn's matter let him arrange it himself, this kind of craftsman pays special attention to the issue of inheritance, originally his family's iron-making skills are taught by the father's son's family heirloom method, and now let Finn accept apprentices, this change will make him very reluctant to accept it, he hopes that he is the only one in the entire Grizzly Village who can make iron, and when his sons grow up, the entire Grizzly Village will be iron-striking in his family, as long as the family's iron-making skills do not flow out, everything is good.

For this reason, Ziggy did a lot of work as a blacksmith Finn, but with little success.
