The apprenticeship system can cultivate many skilled young people and ensure that there are enough craftsmen and craftsmen in the territory.
The price of goods is set by Oran, which also prevents these craftsmen or merchants from threatening themselves.
During the operation of the guilds in the past life, as time progressed, great problems and conflicts also occurred, but this is not what Olan needs to consider now.
It won’t show up in one or twenty years.
Many people still don't understand this system, but a few wool merchants immediately understood the benefits.
Master Oran sets a minimum price for the items to purchase, and can also send troops to protect them.
And now there are so many thieves, whether on land or at sea.
Doing business involves taking great risks, and some lords who are short of money may even directly rob them.
Protecting merchants by force is very attractive and will definitely attract many people and even merchants outside the territory to want to join.
There are still many details that Olan cannot explain clearly. Only after practice can we know how to adjust.
Some people think that it sounds too good, so it definitely can’t be done.
No matter what, as soon as the guild said it, it began to plant seeds in the hearts of the people, waiting for the opportunity to sprout.
Oran then asked Southamp to follow up, admonishing him, "Handle trouble well, be as lenient as possible, don't make mistakes, remember fairness and justice."
"Okay, my lord."
These two qualities are difficult for Olan to achieve by himself, but now he "hopes" that his subordinates can achieve them.
After becoming a "county uncle", his subordinates "must" do it.
Other laws such as territorial crop improvement, planning of farming periods, collecting fertilizers, organizing wells, and prohibiting indiscriminate pollution of water sources (pouring excrement or rot) are all fragmented, but if they can be operated for a long time, they can reduce illness. Risky government orders.
After the meeting was over, the young man who had just spoken was left to freshen up. The dirt on his body was scrubbed away by the valet with a thick brush. His skin was scraped red and itchy, but the old dirt was also quickly dissolved.
The boy quickly adapted to the comfort of hot water brushing against his body.
It's so refreshing, I really want to keep washing, but my stomach growls again when I take a shower, and this hot water can't satisfy my stomach.
His hair was also shaved off directly with scissors in the bathroom, making him almost bald to prevent lice from getting on his hair.
After finishing the work, the servant brought him clean linen clothes and straw sandals.
After getting dressed, the boy was called to the hall.
It was almost night, and the moonlight filtered in, and the light from candles and ovens filled the hall with warmth.
In the past, at this time, the boy would drink a lot of water, then think that he was full and find a place to sleep, so that he would not be so hungry.
When the dark sky was about to get dark, he woke up to look for something to eat. He ate rotten fruits, tree bark, and even sneaked into the Lord's Forest to catch small animals to fill his stomach.
No one was willing to hire outsiders, so he could only do various jobs. On several occasions, he was asked to carry corpses rotting in the ditch in exchange for a few cakes. However, after that, his whole body became itchy and he almost died of allergies.
When he saw the table full of food, he couldn't take his eyes away.
Olan gestured to come closer. When the young man timidly walked to Olan's table, Olan put down his napkin and said,
"You were the first to ask a question instead of me calling for an answer. I want to reward you."
"I just want to be full, my lord."
"Are you like this, hating Vikings?"
"hatred!"
"Want to get a sword?"
"think."
“Sometimes you can exert a lot of power without holding a sword.”
"I don't understand."
"You dare to speak in front of so many people. You are more courageous than many people. From now on, you will be the first official apprentice in the territory, but not with those businessmen. You will follow him."
Oran pointed at Nanamp, the butler.
He will use a group of young men to learn the simple affairs of the territory, and of course there will also be apprentices (the lord's retinue) who learn swordsmanship.
But the young man looked too thin, and he might not have much chance of getting ahead in swordsmanship.
Because the young man was persecuted by the Vikings and had the same revenge goal as himself, Oran gave him a chance.
As for how far he can go, it depends on the young man's own efforts.
"What's your name here?" Nanamp asked.
"Everyone calls me whatever they want."
"What did your parents call you?"
"My father called me trash, and my mother called me 'three' because I was the third child."
Nanamp snapped his fingers, and the servants put two tables together and lined them up in front of the young man.
The food above is not too rich for Olan, it is just scones, vegetable soup, and a few clean fruits.
But for teenagers, this is a delicious taste of heaven.
The boy began to eat, one bite after another. At first he was careful about his appearance, but soon as there were more and more plates in front of him, he ate faster and faster.
The boy's stomach was like a bottomless pit, and he finally ate four adults' food.
Oran said as he finished his last bite of food, "Now you know what it feels like to eat until you're full?"
"I know... burp!"
"There is nothing more comfortable than having a full stomach."
After Oran finished speaking, he stood up and left, returning to the study to continue working.
Nanamp followed up and whispered a few words to the lord before returning to the hall.
The boy was then placed by Nanamp and led to a small side room in the castle.
Although it was full of dust, it was covered with tiles and was very safe.
A big, old wooden bed. When the boy saw it, he almost couldn't help but lie down on it!
"All the close servants who serve the Lord in the castle will be rewarded with names. The Lord said that as the first apprentice, and your appetite is the same as that of a giant, I will call you 'Titan'."
This is the Latin word for "giant (Greek god)".
Latin was the official language of the Roman Empire and the sacred language used by priests. A large number of scriptures were originally written in Latin, so many nobles were proud to be able to speak Latin.
Therefore, when nobles choose and give names, they often use "advanced words" in Latin and translate them into local languages.
However, servants are usually given ordinary names, but Lord Oran gave a young servant the nickname "God".
Above God, that means the adult considers himself to be...!
Nan Anpu didn't dare to think too much and continued,
"You have to organize this place yourself. There are rules and etiquette in the castle. You must learn it immediately. Do not talk to the maids without permission, especially if you are close to the adults' room - the room of the two ladies (Karin and Mi'er).
There is no order, don’t act rashly, listen more, watch more, talk less, there is no chance to make mistakes here, boy, do you remember?”
After the butler showed off his power, "Titan" nodded quickly, this would be his new home from now on.
No matter how cruel the housekeeper is, he is not as cruel as the homeless criminals who drive him away.
"How old are you?"
"My mother said that I was born in March of the year the previous king succeeded to the throne."
The long wandering life made the young man forget how much time had passed and how old he was.
"Your Majesty Osbert? That's fifteen years old. Seeing how thin you are, I thought you were less than thirteen years old. Take it. Your Excellency gave it to me, but I won't eat it."
The housekeeper threw in some "hard candies" wrapped in white paper.
"Sugar" was one of the luxury goods at this time, often cooked with other foods, and even used as medicinal materials.
But the cavities in the butler's mouth made him uninterested in any delicious food.
All his family members died or died of illness during the Viking invasion. He was alone and had no pursuit other than serving the lord. He always took good care of his servants.
"Work hard, maybe one day you will get the right to use your last name." Nan Anpu patted the boy.
The young man's desire for delicious food made him unable to resist taking a bite after the butler left...
Then the tears fell.
He had an older sister who once stole sugar and boiled it into sugar water to treat her grandmother's illness. In the end, she had one of her hands chopped off!
So sweet...so delicious!
Touching the scene, Tai Tan burst into tears.
Unintentional kindness, one day, it will blossom and bear fruit, giving off fragrance.
Nan Anpu would never have imagined that these few candies would bring him rewards in the future...
