Olan and Kunsang accidentally started a conversation about agriculture, which made Olan slowly fall into deep thought. However, when Kunsang saw Olan like this, he became more and more confident, and even started talking nonsense, saying that as long as he followed the Franks' methods, he would soon be able to Make the village rich.
Since Kunsang was so confident, Olan said after having a hasty meal, "Then you stay for a few days, draw up a village development plan, and send someone to deliver a letter to me."
After saying that, Olan remembered that there were so many illiterates in this era. Sometimes even the village chief didn't know a few words in the entire village.
Then he added, "I will send a 'castle attendant' who can write some words to assist you."
The castle servants who can write are all beside the steward Nanamp. They have been helping to deal with the government affairs in the territory for a long time. If one is sent out, Oran will lose one. Now there are only three left in his territory. He must recruit relevant talents as soon as possible. .
Oran continued his tour to another newly captured village, thus completing the tour.
Kunsang, who was left behind, immediately gathered the people in the village together and then delivered the decree.
But there were too many laws and regulations in the main city of Oran and he couldn't remember them all, so he decided to try another method.
In the village square, when they heard the big bell ringing for the gathering, the villagers put down their work and hurriedly showed up.
Kunsang was riding on the horse, and the horse's hooves were walking back and forth. As more and more mud marks were dug into the ground, the hearts of the people in charge became more and more nervous.
It’s as if the horse’s hooves are stepping on me!
"Who among you has served the previous lord? Come forward."
This sentence made eight men come out, including former cooks, watchtowers, carpenters, dung dumpers, leatherworkers... a total of eight people.
Kunsang asked again, "Who can write simple numbers?"
All eight people shook their heads, so he asked them to come to the lord's house, and then said, "I plan to select a steward to help me manage the village leader. I will come back to see you in my spare time. Most of the time I will follow At the Baron's side.
Your Excellency needs me to fight against the Vikings and protect the territory. Since none of you can write, whoever thinks he is qualified to be the steward of the manor, please come out. "
All eight people wanted the position and were very interested.
The lord granted the acting position of "manor manager", which was generally given to villagers with status, ability and prestige.
They could be freemen or serfs, and their power came from the lord.
Even as time goes by, they may even bully men and dominate women. The eight of them originally thought that the lord would appoint relatives or trusted people to take the position of general manager. Now that they suddenly have the opportunity to take over, their eyes can't stop the desire.
Kunsang was taken away as a slave when he was young, and now he often follows Oran, learning some principles of being a lord.
He asked eight people to enter the house and interviewed them one by one.
The final result is that seven people are talking bad things about other people, or making empty remarks.
Only one leatherworker said, "My lord, my daughter is still young and can serve you in your daily life, but maybe she is inexperienced, so my wife can follow along."
It's so good to say it so clearly.
Kunsang's realization is that the people should learn to share the lord's hard work and actively offer their good things.
Anyway, this village has only one or two hundred people. If it continues to be chaotic, where can it go?
Even if they are all dead, it is just a matter of cutting down one or two hundred trees and building a coffin.
Human life can be as valuable as a treasure, like Mr. Oran,
But it can also be worthless, such as the common people in front of you.
He spent too many years in the Vikings. The Viking lords conquered new areas and often paid taxes to the local tribes or chiefs. They did not know how to manage them and were too lazy to manage them.
It would be a waste of manpower to let the Viking wolves take care of these defeated sheep. You just need to pick out the sheep's head from the defeated sheep to take care of them, and then control the sheep's head yourself.
"If you don't do well enough, I will hang you up!" Kunsang then ordered, "Since you have passed my test, the first task the Baron has given me is to plan farmland cultivation and increase production for the coming year.
I once heard from the Franks that there was a kind of 'heavy plow' that was very helpful. I had to find a way to find someone to go to the south to get some.
There is also a usage fee for the mill and bakery in the village in the future, and I want to take 1 out of 10 of them. "
This means that farmers who bring ten kilograms of flour can only get back nine kilograms, which is a very high usage fee.
Kunsang got excited and told him about the "composting techniques" he had heard about, "Pour the things you pulled on top... add plant ash, green manure..."
Kunsang worked as slave neighbors with several Franks. The life of a slave was extremely boring. Sometimes one night would pass and a certain slave would be captured for a "blood sacrifice" or played to death by the Vikings.
These people seized the opportunity to speak to relieve their worries and depression, so Kunsang listened to people from all over the world talking about different life experiences.
For countless nights, Kunsang slept in the stable and listened to the conversations of different partners around him.
Today you are a Frank, next week you may be a Dane, next month you may be a Rus...
Kunsang taught the tanner all the agricultural knowledge he had heard in his mind.
And he ignored that the climate in central England was different from that in the south, and he wanted to implement the so-called improvement methods such as heavy plowing, three beds, and composting before they were tested.
He abused Oran's trust.
In the near future, the entire village leader will suffer greatly...
…
After two days and two nights of patrolling, after Oran returned to the territory, three days had passed since he left.
He is busy but has nothing to do. His subordinates are increasing and many matters can be communicated to them.
Then put more effort into procreating blood.
With the increase in health brought by winning the war this time, Olan's health is better, and the effects of coughing up blood and dizziness are reduced.
Oran thought, if he wins a very big battle, will his body fully recover?
It was so charming, a "strong body" that would fill him with energy.
At night, the moonlight was charming, but Karin, who was called to accompany her, was no less impressive.
The improvement of her diet and the change in her mood made Karin feel better and better.
In the hearts of Karin and Mi'er, Karin is more fond of Oran, to the point where she almost regards Oran as a god!
She felt that she was ten years older than the lord, but she still became the first lover and managed the castle servants, and her status was higher than that of the butler Nanampdu.
The adult also said that he could also learn to write and help with some chores.
What a grace this is!
A man's heart can be very big, such as Oran - the whole of Northumbria cannot stop his conquests.
A woman's heart can be very small. For example, if Karin-Olan eats a few bites of the food she prepares, she will be filled with happiness.
When their eyes meet, it's like the collision of ice and fire, finally merging together.
...
"If you can give birth to a strong child next spring, then I will give him one of the aliases of the family ancestors."
This is a kind of favor given by the lord to "illegitimate children", allowing the children to use the nicknames used by the family patriarchs in the past generations to distinguish them from other illegitimate children.
When her love became stronger, Karin replied, "As long as you like it, I will give you countless bloodlines."
Two days later in the morning, while Oran was having dinner, he heard some extremely dissatisfying news.
Written by a butler under "Lard Walker".
There are only a few simple words, "Night, thieves, flames, barn, help, your loyal servant."
When paper is so precious, each force will have its own way of communication, using the simplest and most efficient way of writing to express full meaning.
The general meaning of the letter was, "The thieves who moved at night burned the barn with flames, hoping that the lord would send reinforcements, otherwise it would be difficult to survive."
If "Send" is used in a normal tone, "Send" is a supporting tone, "Sincerely" is used in a "As soon as possible" tone, and there are dozens of other tone.
Oran recalled the surrounding map. If it wasn't the Vikings, then it was the two-year-old Baron's men?
