Chapter 67 Listening to the report

Tonight, Shanlimbao is back to life. ♦♗

In the back kitchen, Mrs. Bandele and her helpers, who had been honing their cooking skills for the past few days, finally found their way to use. They spent all their thoughts on the lord in the past few days on delicious dishes and bread.

Juwitt and Sim, who were newly promoted to junior knights, also walked into the restaurant of the inner castle with a restrained and proud attitude, and had dinner with the lord and many seniors.

Ronin got the details of the two newcomers from David.

Both Jewett and Sim were under twenty, the former nineteen and the latter eighteen.

To be honest, the probability of activating the seeds of fighting spirit and becoming a professional knight at the age of eighteen or nineteen is very small, and the future potential is estimated to be very poor.

But having said that, it would be nice to have a new transcendent in Shanlin Town now, so who is left to pick and choose.

At the banquet, Luo Ning first introduced the identity of Redal to the others in a grand manner. Especially with McCann's profile, everyone knew the strength of the red-haired man, and it was officially established as Commander Redal. status.

At the same time, he also praised the newly promoted Juwitt and Sim, and raised their salary to thirty copper coins per day, which was at the same level as David.

As a result, except for Tom, all the extraordinary people present had a minimum daily salary of thirty copper coins.

Taking into account Tom's performance during this period and his good attitude towards everything, Luo Ning generously made him a "regular" in advance, and his salary was restored to the same level as other junior knights.

Tom was completely moved by this.

At today's dinner, he finally gained the recognition of the lord, and he was considered to have entered the current circle of core members of Hillwood Town.

The dinner ended happily. Under Bella's service, Luo Ning took a good bath, sweeping away all the dust of the journey and feeling refreshed.

After not seeing each other for half a month, Bella's complexion has become a lot fairer. Perhaps the change in life has made her less busy and toil than before.

Well, Luo Ning feels that he still has a lot of merit. At least he has improved the lives of some people and brought happiness to some people.

He believes that there will be more and more people like this in the future.

In the study, Chahar and Wilson came to report their work. Luo Ning asked Galen to serve them each a cup of barley tea to quench their thirst.

"Master, one hundred and two slaves have been settled by us. But there is one thing we must remind you, there are not many vacant houses in the town."

Chahar began to complain as soon as he came up, "I couldn't allow those slaves to live in the castle, not even in the outer castle. So Wilson and I placed them in the home of former defense officer Dison and knight Kate. "

Dison and Kate were knights arranged by the Thane Territory in Hillwood Town. After they were killed by Ronin, their houses naturally belonged to Hillwood Castle.

"But Master, the conditions of these two people's houses are not bad. To be honest, I really don't want to give them to these slaves. It's a pity that there are no other vacant houses in the town."

Wilson agreed with what Chahar said, "Sir, if there are new people joining Hillwood Town later, I think we should plan the construction of houses in advance. ♡"

Luo Ning nodded slowly, "Yes, what you mentioned is exactly what we are going to do next."

"The growth of Hillwood Town is inevitable. In the future, our population will catch up with the normal barony, or even exceed the barony. It is very necessary to build enough houses in advance."

Ronin does not need to pay any form of wages or remuneration to the slaves, but he needs to provide clothing, shelter and food for this group of slaves, and building houses is essential.

Of course, the requirements for a slave's residence do not need to be that high, nor do they need one room per person, as long as they can accommodate people.

"Let's not talk about the slaves for now, Wilson, how is your village divided?" Luo Ning asked.

Wilson quickly stood up and took out a piece of parchment from his arms, "Sir, it has been divided. There are four villages in total. The total number of people in each village is 4. The 20 people who serve you in the castle are basically the same. big."

Luo Ning took the parchment and looked at it. The largest number of people in the four villages was 503, and the smallest number was 4, which was about the same.

At the same time, Luo Ning noticed that the names of the village chief and team leader were written on the back of the village, which had obviously been chosen.

"Well done, Wilson, but you didn't name the villages?"

Wilson said humbly: "I think it is better for you to decide such an important matter.

In addition, the village chief and team leader at the back are people I selected after inspection. They are either strong at work or able to grow crops and harvest well. If you think anyone is not suitable, I will re-select them. "

"I feel at ease when you do things."

Luo Ning didn't have the time to inspect the farmers one by one. Anyway, the village chief and team leader were just workers, as long as they did their jobs well.

"The village chief and team leader will follow what you wrote. As for the name of the village."

Luo Ning was very interested in naming, so he picked up a pen and wrote four village names on the blank spaces on the parchment.

The one with the most people is called Fuqiang Village, the one with the least people is called Diligent Village, and the one with 4 people is called Qianjin Village and Jingye Village.

He handed the parchment back to Wilson, "Gather these village chiefs and group leaders to meet in the outer castle hall tomorrow afternoon."

As he spoke, he looked at Chahar and said, "Although you are the steward of the castle, the expenses of these village chiefs and team leaders come from the castle. Although Wilson is responsible for the government affairs of this group of people, when it comes to results and You need to supervise assessment matters.”

It's one thing for him to be assured of Wilson's attitude towards doing things, but it's another thing to have someone supervise him.

He knew that Chahar was capable. He had to take care of the castle's accounts, resources, etc., and he also needed to figure out the external expenses.

This arrangement may make Chahar busier, but who isn’t? After all, Luo Ning is the lord of Shanlin Town, so he is very busy.

"I will divide the hundreds of slaves I bought this time into a construction team, an ironwood team, a logging team, and a dung collection team."

"The construction team consists of carpenters and masons as well as ten men and ten women. They are responsible for building the residence. The initial requirements are not high. They will build on the fast mountain land in the farm area far away from the center of the town."

"The ironwood team is used to cooperate with the carpenter Uncle William to develop the black iron tree. It requires fifteen strong men and two women responsible for logistics. Let the construction team first build a few houses in the west as a temporary base for the ironwood workshop. "

"The logging team consists of ten men and five women. They are responsible for coordinating the lumber needed for the construction team and later building the road out of Shanlin Town to the south."

"The feces collection team is responsible for picking up feces and garbage in the town. I will instruct them later on how to decompose, ferment and turn the feces into fertilizer. For now, let's put in five men and five women."

Luo Ning looked at Wilson, who was sweating profusely and taking out the quill he carried with him and writing quickly on the palm of his hand.

"I will keep a few of the remaining slaves depending on the situation. If there are any left, they will be divided into four villages for farming. You first divide them into groups as I said tomorrow."

"Okay, okay!"

Wilson recorded and responded. Things happened again, and it was a big deal.

Chahar snickered secretly on the sidelines. Fortunately, he was not a political officer and had much more leisure.

"Chahar, tomorrow morning I will pay the salaries of the guards, castle servants, administrative officers, etc. You can help me calculate everyone's compensation in the evening and give it to me tomorrow morning." Luo Ning said.

"Uh...Okay, sir!" Chahar quickly maintained a serious attitude.

Thank you for your monthly votes, thank you~
