Chapter 88 The first person to move into the house
The efficiency of group work is simply frightening. Karis has never seen serfs work so hard. They take the initiative to work as soon as they come in every day and don't finish until they eat. They even run to the toilet.
Oh, by the way, they originally solved it on the spot, but adults strictly prohibited it. Later, they built multiple toilets nearby, which eliminated the problem that occurred halfway.
Trees were continuously cut down, and wooden houses were built one after another, arranged neatly, with a certain distance between each house.
This was an order from the lord, saying that the construction of houses should be large-scale and unified. Although the serfs did not understand what this meant, they were all looking forward to living in it.
In front of the newly built house is a small square, where a notice board is erected, with everyone's name and work score posted on it.
Caris and Little Tom made statistics and updated them every day. Thanks to Little Tom's identity, the serfs trusted this data and there was no longer any doubt.
Every day in the evening, this place is crowded with people.
Today is no exception.
"Sam, how many work points do you have?"
"I'm only twenty-three, what about you?"
"I have two points more than you, and I don't know how many points I can get today."
"Anyway, watching these points increase every day, I really feel a sense of anticipation."
"Do you think the lord really allows us to live in the house?"
"I don't believe it. I used to farm in a lord's territory, and they said it was to reduce taxes. It was not true at all. They were all fooling us."
"Hush, don't say such things too much. If the lord hears it, he will hang you to death in a fit of rage."
"Speaking of which, Darcy's work points seem to be more than forty."
"Well, forty-eight, this young man is very hardworking and very strong. One person can hold up to two or three people. Otherwise, he would not have been selected into the militia."
"So, his work points will reach fifty today, and we will know whether the lord will give him a house or not."
The discussion among the serfs continued until Caris and Little Tom came to the notice board.
They will update the work points counted today.
Karis said: "Darcy, your work points have reached 50 and you have obtained the permission to live in the house. You can choose."
Darcy, who was called, ran out from among the serfs, with an excited expression on his face, "Really, really, I can choose at will?"
Karis nodded, "Yes, choose. This is the Lord's promise to you."
When he knew that his work score was very high, Darcy had fantasized about which house he would live in. Now that he got permission, he quickly ran to the front of a row of houses.
"I choose this one!"
"Open the door!"
Darcy stood in front of the door. Now, he didn't dare to open the door.
He felt uneasy, nervous, and excited, his heart was beating fast, and he seemed a little unbelievable.
"Open the door!"
"Why are you standing there?"
"Darcy!"
The voices of the serfs brought Darcy back to his senses. He opened the door and walked in. The serfs followed closely. Because there were too many people, many people could only gather in front of the door.
The house was empty, there was no furniture, only the setting sun shone on the ground.
But Darcy shed tears. After becoming a serf, he lived in a shabby place with no wind or rain protection, no food, no warmth, and a numb life every day.
When he came to Ashes Town, his life changed drastically. Not only did he often drink meat porridge, but he was also able to live in such a nice house.
All of this is a gift from the lord.
At this moment, he knelt down and shouted sincerely: "Praise the lord!"
As if infected by his emotions, the other serfs also knelt down.
"Praise the lord!"
Voices of praise came one after another, and Karis, not far away, had a smile on his face and muttered, "That's right, it's the lord who gave you all this."
He left the fields and returned to the castle.
"Master, the first serf to live in the house appeared, and he was very excited." Karis told in detail.
Linn sat on a chair, with many pieces of papyrus placed in front of him. There was no way, there was not enough parchment, and even he, the lord, had to save it temporarily.
There are plans drawn on the papyrus, which are the results of his two days.
"Well, there will be more and more in the future. This is a good phenomenon. Look at these pictures."
Lin En pushed the papyrus over, and Karis looked at it carefully and read: "New city area, commercial area, farmland area, old city."
He raised his head and asked with confusion, "Master, what is this?"
"Town planning, Ashes Town can't continue to be so messy and disorderly. I made a simple plan before and determined the residential area where the serfs are located. Now I have made a detailed breakdown of the entire town. Where Ashes Town is located, the town
The residents' houses here and there, and those on both sides of the main roads, are not bad, but they are also quite chaotic.
We cannot demolish these houses and rebuild them for the time being, so we will treat them as old cities, which means old towns."
"Oh, that's it." Karis is very aware of this problem. There are actually related divisions in large towns, such as markets dedicated to trading and streets full of shops. This is indeed very convenient.
"In addition, I discovered a problem when planning, how big is my territory?" Linn asked.
To be honest, Lin En had never had a detailed understanding of the size of the territory before. At that time, he was considering developing the town. Now the enthusiasm of the serfs for work has been aroused, and a large number of fields have been cultivated in a short period of time. As the number of serfs increases,
, this reclamation speed will also increase.
He only knew that his territory was actually very large, but he didn't know exactly how much it was.
Karis replied, "Sir, Ashes Town is located in a rather special place. When this place was divided into the Earl's territory, there was no strict planning. In theory, the entire Sunset Forest is the Earl's territory.
Since Ash Town and its surrounding areas are divided into your territory, it stands to reason that the Sunset Forest is also yours."
"So big?" Linn was a little surprised.
Karis explained, "The Sunset Forest belongs to the area where the Warcraft is located. No one has gone deep into it until now, so the boundaries of this land are not clear."
"In other words, other noble lords close to the Sunset Forest can also develop it?"
Karis pondered, "Theoretically, that's the case. We still need to ask the Earl for the specific situation."
Linn nodded, "It seems that I need to find time to go back."
"Sir, the blacksmith is here, and he is carrying a strange-looking thing." The servant Biton said.
