At noon on January 20, the south of the iron ore mine was covered in a cloud of dust.

The plain, which stretches about 30 kilometers from east to west and is about 10 kilometers wide from north to south, from the east shore of the iron ore lake to the west 7 castles, is full of scenes of people digging earth and transporting earth and rock.

On the shore of the frozen lake, a junior knight shouted to the hundred and ten demonless ones: "Brothers, come on, do it quickly!" The guy who did the most work, I'll double the dinner for him! Don't eat the least dry, don't eat it today! ”

The land, less than 2 kilometers west and less than 1 kilometer wide from the east shore of the lake, is the parcel of the young man of the Galloping Horse family, Enps Galloper, whose father is Enkris Galloper, who has reached the level of a high-ranking knight, that is, the knight of the Galloping Horse family who previously went to Whitetree City on behalf of the Rand to reinforce the city.

Empers only entered the Galloping Horse Academy in November last year, and broke through from an apprentice to a junior knight in just 2 months, if it was in previous years, he would have been able to become the heir of the family, ready to receive a small piece of knight lords, and slowly learn to be a lord.

However, after only 2 months in Night Qi City, he changed his goals, he felt that his future should be a high-ranking or great knight like Tierney and Inuya, even if he couldn't become an earl, it would not be a problem to win a viscount.

Especially when he heard that there was an opportunity to build a new city near the iron mine, he did not hesitate to give up what was originally the most comfortable winter in his life, and chose to take the 20 beginners and 100 demonsless people provided by his family to dig in front of him in this land where magic turbulence was raging and the grass and trees were desolate.

Seeing that his plot gradually took shape, the rudimentary shape of the wall was erected around the plot, and the mound of earth was built in the center, Enpers felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart, and he felt that the 120 people under his command not only worked hard, but also proposed a lot of good methods to dig the ground and build the soil, so that the progress of the whole project was much faster.

Seeing this, Enpers thought of something, and beckoned to his younger brother: "Euns? How's the progress of the other plots? Especially those people from the royal capital and the imperial capital, is their progress as fast as ours? ”

Younes looked dark and thin, and he smiled and showed a mouthful of white teeth: "Hehe, those demonless people of each family, how can we bear hardships and stand hard work, and we can't stand it after plowing the ground one by one, but the slaves of His Majesty Rand and the students of the Galloping Horse Academy are making very fast progress." ”

"His Majesty's slave is an ordinary slave, who eats better than ordinary civilians, and that is his own people."

"That's right," Gaines said with a smile, "Just now Lord Yuling specifically told you, let each work area write a few ways to improve efficiency and project quality, and communicate with each other during the noon meeting, whose method can be promoted, you can get more points?" ”

"What about such a thing?" Enperth heard the spirit, "Points are good things, you can exchange a lot of useful things, you write out all our articles, and go to see them together at noon!" ”

However, Yuns, who had just arrived on the Plains of the Galloping Horse, said with some hesitation: "Are you sure? Don't let people learn from us at that time, but we didn't get points, that's thanks to that! ”

As it turned out, Euns was overly worried, and at noon they met the captains of more than 30 other teams in the big tent outside the lord's castle, each of which came with a few methods or tricks to sell each other.

"Empers?"

The young man of the Galloping Horse family heard a familiar voice and turned his head to see that it was his classmate Umoni in the Galloping Horse Academy.

"What's the way you're bringing it?"

"Me? My family's method is about managing the people, and I get the best 3 people to get more rations, and at the same time punish the 3 people who do the worst, so that they can be more efficient. Empers smiled and asked, "What about yours?" ”

"Me?" "We had 20 people carry buckets on their backs and splash water on the way, and when the water freezes, it pushes faster." ”

"Oh,"

Umoni and Empers nodded at each other, and there was no doubt that while both had jotted down each other's methods, neither was prepared to pay points to the other.

Nearly 60 captains began a heated discussion in the wide tent, and about half an hour later, the chief commander of the iron ore project, the archmage Yu Ling, walked in with a group of young demon supporters, and as soon as he entered the room, he said loudly:

"Captains, I think everyone has already figured out what methods to provide just now, now please write them down, we hang these methods in the tent, each method you provide at the same time, you need to mark the price of your own method, who wants to learn from it, you need to pay you, once you receive the points, you must ensure that the other party can learn and apply."

As Yuling spoke, her young men handed out a wad of blank paper to the captains and asked them to fill in the paper, which they hung on the wall of the tent.

But ten minutes later, strings of notes were hanging under the beams of the tent, and each captain was constantly wandering, reading the contents of each note.

"According to the group of 5 people, divided into 20 groups, and the 20 groups are evaluated once a day......" Enpers saw one of the notes, feeling similar to his own method, but he could also learn from it.

"Use your own 20 laborers to exchange 5 pack beasts with the barbarians in the city?" Umoni read another, "That's outrageous, isn't it?" How can there be so many pack beasts? ”

"Yes!" Yu Ling suddenly said, "You can exchange some leaders for pack beasts, and the price ratio of the replacement has been posted at the door, and each group can only exchange the leaders at hand with their own hands." ”

"But Master Yuling, didn't we make it clear when we came that we weren't allowed to sell the people?" One of the captains asked.

"Who said that the ownership of labor and pack animals does not change, it is just a daily workload." Yuling said with a smile, "However, our total number of livestock is limited, and it is impossible to meet the needs of all teams. ”

"Huh? It can really be like this! There was a discussion in the tent.

After another half an hour, the captains withdrew from their tents one after another, some of them left satisfied, some felt a little regretful, and some were dragged by others to each other's plots to teach their own experiences and methods.

After Yuling and everyone left, she walked out of the tent, holding a large stack of papers full of various methods and experiences in her hand, frowning as she looked at it.

"What is this?" Yuling muttered as she walked into the lord's room of the Iron Mine Castle, and as a circle gradually glowed, she opened a door and entered the cardinal's control lock.
