Chapter 154

"There is only too little fuel, not too much." Field snapped his fingers happily, "I will give you new drawings in two days. I will make bricks. When the iron ore is mined in the future, charcoal can also be used to make pig iron."

"Sir, but we have a problem." A craftsman said timidly.

Field nodded calmly: "No problem is the biggest problem, you say."

"We don't have enough manpower. If we go to make...that...by the way, bricks, what about charcoal?"

"You can teach some apprentices."

Field said subconsciously, but seeing that everyone looked embarrassed, he immediately understood the crux of the problem.

In this era, there are craftsmen guilds. The guilds will absorb children from poor families, and then sign contracts with professional masters for mutual benefit. Generally, masters will not avoid the guilds and teach privately.

Field thought for a moment and said mysteriously: "It's time to pay attention to the future of the territory. I will notify you in two days."

After returning to the big winery, the first thing Field did was to call Kao and Tate.

"How many children are there in the territory? Do you know?"

Field's eyes passed over the bookshelf. The existing data did not even know the population. Fortunately, the lord's panel had records.

"Sir, we have too few civil servants to do a detailed statistics, but we still know the general number." Tate replied.

"I plan to gather the children in the territory."

Before Field finished speaking, Kao stumbled and almost fell. He immediately said tremblingly: "Sir... Sir, this is not good. It is not good for your physical and mental health."

"Ahem, I want to train some highly educated talents, not to play with them."

Field's face was full of black lines. Is he a very strange uncle?

"Is that so." Kao smiled awkwardly.

"I suggest only teaching the children of freemen." Tate tilted his head and pondered for a moment, then added, "If freemen and slaves receive the same treatment, the freemen will be dissatisfied, and the slaves will be content with the status quo."

Field had already considered this, but he didn't want to say it himself. Letting his men use their brains is what the lord should do.

"You are right. Leave this matter to Kao. Tate, you are doing very well now. Keep up the good work and I will reward you. As for the reclamation task of the other half of the manor, you are still responsible."

"Thank you, sir. I can experience my own value here."

Tate said it seriously, but he meant it. At least there would be no complicated interpersonal relationships to deal with here, and he didn't have to worry about the threat of the gangs. He could participate in the construction every day.

"Very good, does anyone have anything to add?"

Kao immediately raised his hand and said in a high-spirited tone: "Sir, there are too few servants in the castle. This is not in line with your status. I suggest expanding the number of servants, especially maids. At least maids should be assigned to the Chosen Ones, especially Lady Charlotte."

"That's right, the servants should be expanded."

He is a baron, and he has fewer servants than knights. The Starry Night Castle is much larger than the winery. If he moves there, with the current number of servants, he can't even clean it once a day.

Since Charlotte came, Kao and others have been very proud. With the support of the Chosen Ones of their own race, they can instantly become tough in front of the sub-humans, and their backs are three points straighter than before. Although the two sides have never had a conflict, they do have confidence in their hearts, and Field can understand it very well.

"Don't forget to bring some animal-eared maids, uh, I mean sub-humans, you know."

What bunny girls, cat-eared girls, etc., it would be so exciting to keep two in the castle.

"Your will is up to you."

Soon, the news that the castle was recruiting servants spread like wildfire.

For a small territory, the lord's business is the biggest thing. If the lord falls one day, I'm afraid the children in the territory will not be able to sleep at night.

"Have you heard? The baron is recruiting servants."

The woman who was talking was loosening the soil while chatting, and she secretly glanced at the supervisors in the distance. Those supervisors were usually guards who took turns.

"Of course! The whole Night Territory knows about this."

"It would be great if I could become a maid, and I could stay in the castle happily in the future, just like a lady. Do you know Scissors? She only needs to clean the room twice a day and wash and dry clothes, and she can get high pay, rest time, and eat good food."

More importantly, the servants of the castle can also enjoy invisible benefits.

A seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister will have his own aura wherever he goes in the future.

"It's a pity that only people aged 16 to 18 are eligible, otherwise I would also like to participate."

An old woman who was stirring the fermented manure came over and whispered.

"Don't even think about it, I guess that person is always surrounded by a bunch of stinky men.Only those who have turned into geraniums can be selected into the castle. Tsk, isn't it just that she is prettier? "

"Impossible, she always looks unhappy, and the lord will be in a bad mood when he sees her. "

The crowd chatted more and more excitedly, and finally disturbed the supervisor. After being scolded, everyone stopped chatting in dismay.

On the day of the interview, all the women of the right age in the whole night came, and the interview took place in the open space at the entrance of the big winery.

The scene was not a scene of beautiful women. Don't expect free people or slaves to be as gorgeous as noble ladies. Most of them were dirty, pale and thin, and very ugly. They excitedly made noises in the hall, just like a vegetable market.

Field himself will not select them personally. He only needs to show up and examine them at the last stage. After all, it is not to select wives, and married women are also eligible to participate.

The key to this job is to be diligent and have a good appearance. If you are good at cooking, you can also work in the kitchen that everyone yearns for.

"Be quiet, line up and follow me. I want to check your body and appearance one by one. "Scissors put his hands on his hips and yelled at the crowd. Seeing that someone was still talking, Scissors just glared at him with a sharp look, and the person wilted. "I will not allow anyone to bring dirty diseases into the castle. No one can get away with it."

"Scissors is so powerful." The clay pot was scared and took a step back.

Sparrow said intentionally or unintentionally: "She may become a housekeeper."

And Kao was constantly reviewing.

"The quilt is too bad, eliminated."

"Oh my God, are you sweeping the floor? It's just tickling Mother Earth, eliminated. ”

“Woo woo woo~”

The failed interviewee ran out with tears in his eyes.

When the butler Kao showed his professional skills, he instantly became reliable and rejected one interviewee after another in a ruthless and old-fashioned way. He mainly examined their words, personality and professional skills.

The screening lasted for half a day, and only four people were selected in the end, one of whom was a dog-like person, and the rest were humans.
