When Gervais reached the first floor, he was stopped by a servant before he could be asked to find Thomas.

"My lord, Captain Laurie has returned to the castle, and he asked you what to do with the corpse of the beast!"

"Oh, I almost forgot about it, you tell Laurie to find Jimmy, the cook, and deal with it like the storm wolf last time!"

Hearing the servant's report, Gervais remembered that Laurie had returned to the castle with his booty in tow, and just now he only cared about the green elf worm and forgot about such an important thing, and when the monster died, of course it could only become the meat of the monster, so Gervais did not go to check, Jimmy did these things beautifully, and the fur of the storm wolf was the masterpiece of Jimmy's superb knife skills.

"By the way, after you tell Laurie, go to the stables and let Thomas come to the hall, I'll wait for him there!"

"Yes, sir!"

The servant hurriedly complied, and then walked out of the inner fort quickly.

Then Gervais came to the hall alone, sat in the sand, and soon a servant brought juice and pastries and other snacks, Gervais leaned comfortably on the sofa and looked at the wall: "This time, the three-colored deer specimen should be hung on the wall, and if you kill a few more demonic beasts, it is estimated that you can decorate this hall!" ”

"The power of the grenade against the demonic beast is still a little lacking, if you want to use the grenade to deal with the demonic beast, you must increase the charge amount by three times before you can seriously injure the low-level demonic beast!"

"No, the current reserves of nitrate are not much, muskets and ice making need a lot of nitrate, you should save a little, there are not so many monsters for me to fight, and it is a waste to make it!"

"Your Excellency!"

Just when Gervais was full of thoughts and thoughts, Thomas had already come to Gervais's approach, and carefully called Gervais back to reality.

"Thomas, come and sit down for a moment!"

"Thank you, sir!"

This time, Thomas did not shirk again, because he was not sitting on a sofa, but a wooden chair specially for distinguished guests and cronies.

"Thomas, you're going to Winterfell with the caravan tomorrow, so I have some things you need to explain to me today!"

Since becoming a lord, Gervais has only understood what it means that those powerful people in his previous life mean that talents are rare, his territory is now in ruins, but only Thomas is the only one who can help him manage things, Anna is a girl after all, and her temperament is weaker, and she is definitely not as smooth as Thomas when she manages people and arranges things, so Gervais is ready to take advantage of this afternoon to let Thomas arrange his affairs, and then Gervais only needs to send someone to supervise it casually, and it can be completed.

"Your Excellency, please command!"

"First of all, I have been the master of the Storm Territory for so long, but I haven't done much about the affairs of the territory, in order to develop better in the future, I have formulated a five-year development plan, and the first article of this plan is to let the serfs eat first!"

Gervais slowly said the plan he had made during this time, and after a pause, Gervais took a sip of juice before continuing: "Eat well, this matter is actually already being done, as long as the caravan you set out this time can make money, then the serfs can not only farm the land, but also rely on the work of finding seafood or picking grapes to support themselves." ”

"After you have had enough to eat, the second thing is to develop the infrastructure! At present, we do not have the manpower and material resources to build a large number of buildings, but we can start small, that is, to build public toilets. ”

After a long conversation, Gervais finally finished speaking, and then stopped, waiting for Thomas's question.

"My lord, what are you talking about in a public toilet?"

To be honest, Thomas really didn't understand some of the words that Gervais said, such as infrastructure, and it was only later that he heard Gervais talk about the big construction that he slightly understood that Gervais wanted to build something.

"It's a thatched house! But I'm going to build a hut that can be used by multiple people, and there's more than one! ”

"Your Excellency is wise!"

Thomas's brain was very useful, and when he heard Gervais's words, he immediately understood the benefits of building a public toilet.

"It's just that my lord, the serfs are used to dumping indiscriminately, and I think you need to issue a decree that anyone who dumps filth indiscriminately will be punished, so that they can be prompted to go to the public toilets!"

"That's a good suggestion, Thomas! But there are penalties and rewards! ”

Gervais nodded and smiled at Thomas, and he also thought of what Thomas said, but his solution was slightly different from Thomas, that is, Gervais also increased the reward, so Gervais told Thomas his idea.

Gervais is going to build 20 new toilets in the storm collar, each toilet can accommodate 20 people at the same time, and, in order to put an end to the phenomenon of serfs not wanting to go to the public toilet, but also for the cleanliness of the town's streets, Gervais is also ready to divide the toilets by area for the serfs to use and maintain, in an area, if the roads are clean and not as filthy as before, then Gervais will reward them with black bread per head every week.

"Your Excellency, you are too merciful, in fact, you are already an extremely merciful lord to build a public toilet for them, I don't think you need to spend any other money to reward these serfs, otherwise they will become greedy!"

As an indigenous, Thomas really felt that Gervais had the qualities of a legendary knight, but as a butler, Thomas had to think about Gervais and put forward his opinion directly.

"Thomas, I'm not worried about them becoming greedy, that's human nature, but if you want more, then you have to show your due value and contribute more!"

Thomas didn't understand, but Gervais knew very well that if he wanted to mobilize the enthusiasm of the serfs, he needed to give them motivation, if he used a whip to drive these serfs to work like other nobles, it would basically not be possible to do great things, only the turnips and sticks could make the serfs full of enthusiasm and complete the things they had explained well and quickly.

If you want the horses to run, you have to give the horses grass, there are only about 2,000 serfs in the storm collar, and each person has a meal of black bread every week, and only a few silver coins, but these silver coins can not only buy people's hearts, but also allow the serfs to take the initiative to take charge of the sanitation work on the streets, and after building the public toilet, Gervais is not only a loss, he can also compost, and he can use it in the spring of next year, which is a multi-win deal.

"Thomas, you write down this matter, and do as I say, there will be punishment and reward! The bonus period is one year! ”

Once the habit of loving cleanliness is formed, it will be difficult to return to the original mess, so Gervais set a date of one year.

"It's the adult, the villain has already written it down!"

"Well, I have one more thing you need to call someone to do for me, find some serfs to work, and I'm going to build a new cage on the cliff by the sea!"

The cage that Gervais said is actually a closed courtyard, which is prepared for the orcs in Eve's space, and Gervais is not going to open Eve's space after a month, but after his own guards are equipped, he will open up space in the small courtyard of the cage to release the orcs and see what the orcs look like.

"Yes, sir!"
