Chapter 144 I want a beautiful house(1/2)
Author: Aunt Sibai
At the foot of the castle, Wheatfield Village.
The wind blows the wheat waves, turning them golden.
Li Qi stood in front of the field ridge, looking at the busy crowd harvesting, followed by the secretary and his subordinate Luo Bo.
"Your great guidance has enabled everyone to have a good harvest," Luobo said.
He saw with his own eyes that the development of the Porcupine Territory was due to the leadership of Lord Li Qi. It was not a miracle sent from the sky, nor was it the food given by the gods. If we really want to talk about miracles, then Lord Li Qi is the miracle itself.
"It would not be possible without everyone's hard work," Li Qi said.
At the same time, he thought to himself: There is still a young man who kowtows to worship God.
Use the time of worshiping gods to develop and create your own, rather than praying for charity from gods. He believes that this is the reason why the porcupine collar can develop.
There is a good harvest this year.
The farmers stooped into the wheat fields. This year's harvest was good, and they had food in their homes, making their lives easier in the winter.
Farmers and women went to the fields to harvest, and children ran around barefoot on the field ridges.
"Heitan, give me some water!" A farmer stood up and shouted to three children at the edge of the field.
Of the three children, two were playing well, while the other was being squeezed out and followed miserably.
It seems like this is the case no matter which world.
'Little Boss' The little boy heard the shouts in the field and turned around, "I know!" he replied, and then said to his two companions: "I'll be back soon, let's go dig worms!"
After giving a few careful instructions, Heitan ran back, went to the ridge of the field, picked up a water jug, poured a glass of water, and hurriedly ran to his father, holding up his hands to send it up.
The farmer took the cup, took a sip, and felt refreshed: "The porcupine collar has really changed. Back then, our family was so hungry that we dug wild vegetables to eat."
The earliest civilians living in the Porcupine Territory could feel the changes, with wider roads and a bumper harvest of food.
"Drink it quickly." Heitan looked at his father anxiously, turning his head back from time to time.
The farmer took a sip, drank the water, and handed the cup to Hei Tan: "Okay, let's go, don't go too far."
"Got it!" Heitan took the cup and trotted away.
Not only the farmers but also the slaves were sighing at the harvest. The first batch of slaves who were ordered to open up wasteland and cultivate the land were working hard. The lord said before that there would be rewards for those with the best harvests, and they still have them now.
Li Qi looked at the busy scene, but his heart was not very relaxed: "These grains, plus some that were stored before, are probably only enough for more than 2,000 people to survive the winter."
After the harvest, the heavy plow developed by Li Qi would be used to plow the land to loosen the soil, dig out the roots in the ground, and burn them to make fertilizer.
Oats planted in autumn are not as delicious as wheat, but they can be harvested around December and the yield is not low.
If you plant some more cabbage and other vegetables, you will still be able to survive this year.
At the same time, Li Qi was also preparing to buy grain. He had food at home and was not panicking.
Land reclamation has been going on there for some time, and nearly a thousand slaves have become serfs. The blacksmith factory even had to stop its work and give priority to the production of agricultural tools.
Today is destined to be a special day.
The slaves who later arrived at Porcupine Territory were filled with envy as they looked at the cheering ‘seniors’.
Slaves were tools that belonged entirely to the lord and did not have any freedom, but serfs could have a small amount of property and only needed to hand over most of the harvest to the lord.
Porcupine collars can spend money to buy off their slave status, which means that as a serf, as long as they work hard and make money, they can one day become a commoner.
The little gazelle followed the team and left her dormitory. As a slave, her luggage only had a change of clothes, which she earned in exchange for work points.
Now that their status has changed to serfs, they are going to a new dormitory.
"When you save money, you can become a commoner in the porcupine collar." The person chattering excitedly in the front was an aunt from the same dormitory. She had previously hoped to use her big ass to seduce a commoner and directly exchange her status, but she failed.
.
Since the lord's order was issued, few people are willing to marry slaves in order to live a comfortable life. However, the young soldiers in the castle look at them enthusiastically. According to Little Gazelle, the aunts usually take some business, and at first they even
The rich soldiers wanted to redeem themselves, and later they simply exchanged them for some food and drink, some of which were even free, as long as they came to play together.
The dry firewood and the strong fire, the young and strong body met the age of sitting on the ground and absorbing the earth, and they hit it off.
At first, the matter was brought to the castle, but both parties were happy, and the lord had nothing to do about it. He only said that if you are pregnant with a child, you can't hold up your pants and deny anyone.
You love me, no one can do anything about it.
When it comes to becoming a civilian, there seems to be a burning flame in everyone's heart.
"I want to make my son a commoner first." The speaker was another aunt, who was next to the little gazelle in bed: "I heard that the lord has a construction team of masons who are short of people all year round. When he becomes an apprentice, he will definitely make a lot of money.
money."
Women do not work as much as men. Porcupine collars are in the early stages of development and most of them are strong.
"Women can also go to the brick kiln to make clay pots." Another aunt said, "When I save enough money, I will go to the brick kiln."
"I want to farm"
Farmers still have to live on the land, which is food-based, but they can become civilians and farm the land, and then they will have to pay less taxes.
"I heard that the blacksmith factory also recruits women to tan leather and sew leather armor, and they will be given 50 bronze stars for each piece!"
"How much? 50?"
"Yes, I heard what that person said, but there is no shortage of people. The only ones who can get in are the blacksmith's wives and daughters." That person must be a certain soldier.
Tanning leather and sewing leather armor is not a difficult job, but there are more wolves and less meat, so you can't get it.
After all, everyone wants to get rid of their status as slaves and become civilians.
However, if the serfs wanted to save money to buy out their status as slaves, it would take many, many years even if they had a good harvest every year.
"Little Gazelle, what are you going to do in the future?"
The little gazelle was stunned when he was suddenly called: "Me?"
She just wanted to go back to her hometown, but when she thought about it, her hometown was too far away. She walked from there for who knows how long before she reached the Porcupine Territory. Countless companions died on the way. Even if she really went back, her life would not be as good as the Porcupine Territory.
"I want to make money," said the little gazelle, "and buy a beautiful house."
Have a home in Porcupine Territory.
Only common people can own their own houses, but until now I haven't heard of anyone who has the money to buy one.
The aunts were a little stunned, but they changed the topic tacitly.
The newly built dormitory has left the former slave living area and is closer to the reclaimed farmland, although it is still far away from the villages where civilians live.
The concept of class is deeply rooted in people's hearts.
Then there is the allocated dormitory. The dormitory space is larger, and only eight people live in each room. They have their own cabinets where they can store their belongings, etc. There is also a unified warehouse where Ake will send people to supervise and guard future harvests.
The little gazelle was assigned to a dormitory that she didn't know very well. The girls in the room were about the same age as her. The seven of them had a good relationship and were chatting. There was no special reaction after the little gazelle came in.
"Knock knock" the door knocked, and then the aunt in charge of managing the dormitory said with a smile: "Little gazelle?"
"Yes!" The little gazelle got up from the bed.
"Your friend is looking for you"
"My friend?" The little gazelle was confused. Those aunties who came with him? In fact, after separation, everyone will not deliberately get together again, unless they are very close when the fields are divided tomorrow.
She put on her shoes and walked out. When she saw the girl in a long cloth skirt, the little gazelle walked over in disbelief: "Sister?"
It’s true that I haven’t seen my sister for a few days recently.
It turns out that my sister has been bought as a slave by her brother, who is a knight servant.
"Are you a civilian now?" she asked softly.
"Yes!" The younger sister nodded: "Last time, my brother won a battle with the adults and got a lot of money as a reward."
"Great!" The little gazelle was sincerely happy for her sister.
The younger sister's character was at a disadvantage among the slaves. If she hadn't had an older brother who was a knight, she would have been hungry in the porcupine collar where the rules were becoming more and more complete and the slaves were protected.
But if you think about it carefully, maybe it's because she has a brother who takes care of her that she has this kind of character.
"Let's go" her sister took her hand and walked out.
"What's wrong?" The little gazelle didn't know why, but it was still led away obediently.
"You are free now." My sister said, "As promised before."
"What!"
The little gazelle felt like the world was spinning.
Are you free?
Free!
"I want to go back and get my clothes." She looked at her sister and said solemnly: "And, thank you!"
At the same time, I made up my mind to make money and return it to my sister!
