85_85536 As mentioned before, William acquired a small village with more than 300 peasants.

According to the laws of this era, like most countries and regions on the mainland, this small manor of the border barony of Hereford, which is subordinate to the Archduchy of Mazovia, under the Touchy of Winter, under the Ostrogothic Empire, together with the five horses, three ploughs, more than 20 sickles, and more than 300 men, women and children, are all the private property of the William family.

Yes, according to the present statement, then these people were William's serfs. William wanted them to live and die. Even if you get rid of all these people, there won't be any gossip...... Of course, this is only theoretical.

As usual, William had breakfast—of course, there was no extra breakfast for him this time—because Charlumie had also begun to exercise, so his cousin had recently been afraid to eat a vegetable salad alone to keep her body warm.

For this matter, William's psychology is very complicated. On the one hand, I secretly like this stupid person, and most of the time I will become a man's wife-like figure, and no in-laws will dare to ask her at that time, even if she gets married, she will definitely be ntr by her girlfriend or something. The second is to sigh that such a beautiful object is about to be destroyed.

Although, William doesn't like Charlumie very much. But for Charlumi's youthful and energetic body, slender and soft waist and slender figure, William still likes it very much.

If he had to choose, he would definitely choose an obnoxious cousin with a beautiful body, not a nuisance cousin with a bucket waist and a stout body.

"I hope so. William prayed secretly for this: "My current figure hasn't changed much, and I hope that Charlumi guy doesn't either." ”

In this way, with such expectations, William ate his portion of the breakfast that he was not hungry or full of. Then there's the practice of routine.

Since William has officially taken over the manor from today, he needs to finish the training a little earlier. Whether it's jogging, swinging a sword, or training for sparring. William was a beat faster than before.

It was astonished to see such a hard-working William, captain of the castle's guard and John's father, Konstantin:

"Little William looks very happy today, did you encounter something good?"

"Well, that's a good thing. William nodded.

"But even if that's the case, you're going a little too far, aren't you?" said Konstantin, frowning—next to William, a dozen soldiers lying on the ground and grunting. They were all defeated by William in a simulated battle - and other weapons would have been much worse. Like a sword, a mace, a spear or something. But with a short sword, it's fine.

Because in the previous life, in his previous life, William's training in cold weapons was the training of daggers and military stabs. And the dagger and the routine used in the military stab also have tricks, which can also be used when using a sword. But the most, it's the short sword. Preferably a short sword - this is why William was able to use his sword in a short period of time and gain the advantage in the previous heads-up with Huntai Gisere.

In the previous battle with the guards, William also used a replica of his very handy short sword, a wooden sword of similar length and weight, and he easily defeated a dozen guards in succession.

"Ah, I'm sorry, I'm very sorry. William apologized with some embarrassment.

“...... Pay attention next time. Although there was some help, in the end, Konstantin forgave William. And just after William left, Konstantin walked up to the group of guards who were still lying on the ground and snorted, and kicked them one by one:

"Alright, don't lie on the ground and pretend to be dead. Hurry up and get me up and keep practicing!"

Like a pump, the guards, who had been kicked hard by Konstantin, who was as strong as a bear, jumped up at once, one by two, as if they had been full of breath - William would have been astonished to see this.

"Hmph, a bunch of slackers. It's okay in front of the young master. But now that the young master is gone, then no one should be lazy with me!" Konstantin yelled.

"But Captain. One of the guards said with a little hippie smile: "The young master shot really hard just now, maybe my ribs are broken." ”

"If your ribs are broken, you can't die!" Konstantin shouted back: "On the battlefield, no one will show mercy to you because your ribs are broken, or if you are broken!

In this way, the tension and busyness of the past were restored on the training ground. Seeing that the group of guards had entered the state, Konstantin frowned again. I don't know what I'm thinking.

At the same time, in the field of the small manor where William was in charge. The men and women of the entire manor, old and young, a total of about three hundred people, were standing nervously together, one by two, their faces were timid and dry.

They had already heard that in the coming year, probably even longer, the baron's son, William, would rule over them as their lord.

Unlike Baron Otto's policy of approaching stocking. Looking at William's enthusiasm and interest in this matter, you can know what kind of management this guy wants to carry out on this small manor.

In such a situation, there was no one who would not be nervous - all of them were afraid of annoying William, and the matter of being whipped was a small matter, and there was no reason to be killed.

In addition, what they are more afraid of is that William does not have the ability to command blindly. Annoyed him, whipped or cut off, at most a matter of one or two people. But if the indiscriminate command delays the farm work and reduces the harvest, then it is the entire estate owner who is affected.

And whether William will command indiscriminately, and whether he has the most basic knowledge of agriculture. There is no bottom to these two questions. However, judging from the fact that he was able to mobilize the entire manor to welcome him without hesitation, the situation was absolutely not optimistic.

In this way, the people of the manor waited anxiously, and finally waited for their temporary lord at noon. And when he first arrived, William saw the forced smile on the faces of this group of people, and he understood everything at that time.

"Luckily, I'm not unprepared. He thought to himself, and then looked at little John. I don't know when, John, who has become his exclusive follower, immediately understood, and then pulled out the life props that William brought over this time, which bought people's hearts, the simplest and most basic, but can have an immediate effect.

A stick.

No, to be precise, it should be a board, because it is a long flat shape, and it is a little reluctant to say that it is a stick.

On either side of this oblate strip, there is also an iron hook that looks like it can be attached to an object. For example, a bucket, or a box, or a basket.

Of course, the Gothic serfs who saw this thing all looked inexplicable, and they all guessed what this thing was for.

There are many people who guess weapons, and there are also many people who are torture tools. All in all, no one could have imagined that this thing was for work. And William took out this thing at the first time, and his purpose was naturally to intimidate the serfs, asking them to listen to themselves, otherwise they would have to hit the board or something.

If William could hear the mental activity of these people, he would be laughing and crying - a Goth living in another world might not be able to figure out what this thing was in the first place. But an East Asian living on the earth, or a Southeast Asian living on the earth, will definitely blurt out at the first time after seeing this thing: Isn't this a flat burden?

This is neither a weapon, nor a torture instrument - of course, if the situation is urgent, it is not impossible to make a cameo. But its basic function, the most basic purpose, is indeed to "pick things".

Yes, flat tan. Pick something, a simple and practical super artifact that perfectly makes use of the principle of mechanics and leverage. Another ironclad proof that the brain circuits of the yellow people in the Central Plains are different from those of the whole world. In East and Southeast Asia during the agricultural era, production and living tools were widely used. Even today, in the 21st century, it can still be seen in some areas.

The first artifact that William took out was this flat pole. It is the thing which can greatly improve the efficiency of carrying water, and produces an immediate effect
