After the efficiency of the brick kiln factory was improved, in order to avoid leakage of the process, Richard had arranged for troops to be stationed nearby.

Half of the squadron of soldiers was stationed at the foot of the brick kiln hill, and the commander was Bradlik.

This person is an indentured slave and has no relationship with the lords near Heihe County.

In addition, Richard, Powell, and even William were also very concerned about the situation in the brick kiln factory.

Strangers are forbidden here, and all supplies are purchased through the hands of the Haaland family.

Richard assembled a caravan of a dozen men to take care of this task.

After the slaves in the brick kiln factory were freed, Richard prepared to make them brick kiln factory workers.

When the territory is built, export bricks to nearby lords.

In order for the brick trade to gain a dominant position, the production process must be maintained.

Therefore, Richard took precautions in advance, prolonging the time of process leakage as much as possible, and striving to bring more income to the Haaland family.

In fact, bricks are a large quantity of materials, and it is very difficult to transport.

If it is more than 100 kilometers, even if the bricks in the Harland Territory are cheaper to produce, plus the cost of transportation, they will not be able to compete with the local products, and can only be transported through the Bernie River and sold to a few lords downstream.

Richard said goodbye to Uncle Powell and went to the brick kiln factory, where he met Poppy and Rooney.

After the army arrived at the brick kiln factory, the slaves could no longer leave the factory at will. In fact, it is like going to prison, and the freedom of life is restricted.

But ordinary people in the Dawn Continent are very difficult to leave their hometown too far in their lives.

In particular, the lords of the noble lords will never leave the noble territory for the rest of their lives, and will not even leave the village where they have settled.

was restricted in the freedom of life, and it was not too much tyranny for the slaves.

Of course, Richard also gave some compensation to the slaves in the brick kiln, the supply of meat increased a lot, and some single female slaves were also selected to marry the outstanding slaves and let them start families.

Outstanding technical backbones, also issued brick houses, eliminated slavery, became a free people, and paid a salary of six silver coins a month.

Six silver coins per month, which is already considered a high income in the Grant Kingdom.

The city defense army of Heihe Fort is only six silver coins per month.

The average citizen's salary is only about three or four silver coins per month.

The farmer who farmed the land, in addition to the food ration, could not save more than ten silver coins in a year.

In the brick kiln factory, there were three groups of more than 100 slaves who performed very well and became the backbone of the technology and gained freedom.

In addition to not being able to leave the brick kiln factory at will, the standard of living of the slaves was actually quite good.

The food supply here is very abundant, and some game is occasionally delivered.

Ordinary slaves who farm do not eat a few meals of meat throughout the year.

In addition, cloth and salt will be provided first.

The families who were freed not only had land in the neighborhood, but also the elderly and children could make bricks, and they could earn a little salary for doing odd jobs in the brick kiln factory.

Living in troubled times, most slaves were content to live a stable life when they were uprooted from their homeland.

Arriving at the brick kiln factory, Richard overheard Bobby and Rooney arguing from afar.

"It's impossible to stop work. Now the territory is very short of bricks, Lord Powell, Lady Ola, and Master Richard have all asked me for bricks. I can't afford to mess with these people, and you can't afford to mess with them. Bobby, you still listen to me, put away your advice. Once the process improvement fails, delaying production, we are all in trouble. ”

"Director Rooney, maybe you're right. But the production task is always full, and the process is not improved today, tomorrow is not improved, and it will never be improved in the future. Because we are constantly improving our processes, the success rate has increased fivefold. ”

"Can you be sure that the process will be successful?"

Seeing that Poppy no longer spoke, Rooney became more imposing.

"I know you can't, but this time you have to raise the chimney and dig a deep smoke ditch. With such a large amount of work, it will take at least 20 days of shutdown, and 20 days is 600,000 bricks. If the improvement fails, it needs to be reworked, and the delay is more than 30 days. Thirty days without bricks will seriously delay the construction of the territory. ”

Richard walked into the factory director's office.

The two saw Richard arrive. Immediately stop arguing, Poppy is secretly happy, and Rooney has a trace of displeasure on his face.

"I've heard both of you arguing, but this time I'm going to support Rooney. In normal times, I support Bobby's improvement process, but now the situation is special, it has been two years since the orc invasion, and I think it is possible whether the orcs will come again next year.

According to the past law, orc invasions are about three to five years apart. The last few have been basically three-year invasions.

Next year will be the third year, and the fortifications of the city have not yet been completed, and we cannot afford to stop the work.

After driving out the orcs, let's slowly improve the craft.

I was very satisfied with the results of the Bobby improvement process, and I would suggest to my father that the brick kiln factory be renamed the Bobbi Brick Kiln Factory.

Bobby, I hope you can cherish this honor and use your wisdom to build a better brick kiln factory.

In five years, I will give a small number of dry shares in the brick kiln factory and reward you managers.

Rooney, you have to maintain the stability of the brick kiln factory, and I am very satisfied with your work. ”

After the establishment of the Harland Domain, the Castle of the Lords was named Fort William, and the two rivers that flowed through the Territory were named the Powell and the Burnie.

The canyon where Fort William is located is named Harland Canyon.

Naming a place after a person is a great honor for an individual.

This distinction was only earned if it had made a very large contribution to the territory.

The three brothers, William, Powell and Bernie, can be said to be the creators of Haaland's territory.

It was through the efforts of their three brothers and Richard that the Harland family became hereditary nobles and achieved a leap of class.

Hearing Richard's decision, Bobby's mood was so excited that his neck and face were flushed.

Although he is very smart, his background is very low after all.

Hearing that Richard had his name associated with the brick kiln factory, Poppy suddenly felt a sense of the Holy Spirit's mission.

This is how the so-called soldier dies for his confidant.

Although Poppy hadn't heard of this, Richard didn't frown at this moment even if he let him die.

Even Rooney was extremely shocked when he heard this, and an expression of envy appeared on his face.

At this moment, he really believed that Young Master Richard was indeed a benevolent and generous nobleman.

Mediated between Bobby and Rooney, Richard spent two days in a brick kiln factory, using healing techniques to treat several sick slaves, gaining some prestige among the slaves and preparing to return to Fort William.

In the morning, he had just left the brick kiln factory when several soldiers hurried to catch up on horseback.

"What's wrong?"

"Young Master Richard, a rhinoceros has been found near Camp No. 1."

"Is it really a rhinoceros? How can it be? ”

"You can't be wrong Young Master Richard, Squadron Leader Martin has seen this monster with his own eyes, and it can be sure that the rhinoceros beast. In addition, the Rhinoceros killed three of our soldiers, and two slaves in Camp 1 were also killed by the Rhinoceros. ”
