Lord of Riding and Slashing

Chapter 40 Reed's Reward

As soon as he walked out of the gate of the manor, Reed, who was already impatient, began to report to Nord his work achievements in the past ten days.

Lord Nuode, in the past ten days, I have planted more than one hundred acres of yams in the west of the village, and there is now a large mountain area there that is our yam field.

Seeing Reed's appearance that you are about to praise me, Nord was really surprised. He didn't arrange many people with Reed, and the labor force in the village was basically dominated. Adult men either joined the guards or The manor was being built on the construction site, and the women had to go to the nearby forest to dig yams every day, especially after Nuode bought the yams at the price of two copper shells per catty, the women in the village went to the mountains to dig yams from dawn to dusk. There are not many people under Germany.

Originally, Nord planned to ask Reid to do some preparatory work, buy some yams collected by the villagers, and then water the yams to make them germinate. As for the planting issue, Nord did not report much hope. After all, Reed There are too few labors under his command. Nord originally planned to wait until the manor was built before letting the villagers plant it. He never expected that Reed, who was generally idle, could finish it so well.

How did you do it, kid? I really underestimated you.

Hey, Mr. Nord, it's really nothing. It's just that a lot of yams sprouted a while ago, and I couldn't contact you. I was so anxious that I almost jumped to the roof. What should I do if no one comes to help me? I'll ask my father, He didn't help me either, and said it was my own business, and I had to find a way to solve it myself.

On the way back, I happened to see half-grown children in the village running wildly on the road, so I came up with a good idea. Guess what it is?

You found the underage children in the village?

Nuode raised his brows. Under the influence of his previous life, Nuode has never regarded the minors in the village as labor force, but this is different from his previous life. Children are not the flowers of the motherland. Children in their teens have to help their mothers with housework. Doing farm work, let alone here, even in the mountainous area where the economy was underdeveloped in the previous life, the same is true for underage children, and the children of the poor have long been in charge of the family.

I used the name of the herald to promise that they could serve as soldiers under my command when they grow up, plus a reward of one piece of bread per day, so I coaxed them over. Lord Nord, you don't know how much these children want to join Your guards are playing the game of playing guards every day, running around in the village.

Nord sighed, there was no other way. Originally, Nord planned to ask Abel Butler to recruit some teenage children after he was busy with the work during this time, teach them the knowledge of characters, and gradually cultivate talents from an early age.

In the village, only Colin’s family was able to read and write. This was attributed to Colin’s early life as a mercenary. The head of the mercenary regiment, who was a nobleman, taught Colin some characters. Colin cherished this knowledge and passed on this knowledge to Lehman and Reid.

Since you have organized the children in these villages, they will be under your control in the future. You will recruit all the children over ten years old. After a while, I will ask Steward Abel to teach them knowledge. As for planting Let the yam matter be left to those idle villagers.

Okay, Mr. Nord, those children are handed over to me, so can I go on an adventure in the mountains with you?

Didn't I say that you are responsible for recruiting those children, and you are also responsible for planting yams, entering the mountains... forget it, you will be very busy next time, and I want you to go with me too , after all, you are my herald, but you don't have time.

Ah? I still have to do these things. I have done such a good job, can't you reward me for going into the mountains once?

It is true that you should be rewarded, but it is true that you cannot be taken into the mountains, uh... I think the children you recruit should have an official name, then... let's call it the Young Pioneers, Reed, I am appointing You are the captain of the Young Pioneers, and you want to be a mature and stable captain like your brother Lehman.

Hearing that he couldn't enter the mountain, Reid felt a little wronged, but after being appointed by Nord as the captain of the Young Pioneers, Reed smiled again. Although he couldn't enter the mountain, at least he was promoted, the captain of the Young Pioneers, this name always It sounds very imposing, and Reid likes this position very much.

Yes! Master Nord, promise to complete the task!

Finally, Reed was bluffed. There were too few people available under his command, so Reed could only stay and take care of the scene. After arranging the affairs in the village, Nord took Reed back to Colin's small village. In the courtyard, I happened to meet Molly who came out of the cabin.

Master Nord, you are back, are you going to see those wild boars? The little pigs have grown up a lot these days.

As soon as Molly reminded Nord, she remembered that the wild boar was caught and walked in the backyard of Colin’s house before, and it was given to Molly to feed. Nord was going to take a look, and under the leadership of Molly, Nord came to the backyard.

The pigsty used relatively thick fences to prevent the wild sows from escaping. To Nord's surprise, the Arthur brothers and sisters were standing in front of the pigsty, still muttering words.

Big wild boar, come here! I'm not afraid of you.

Speaking of Yate, he also threw the yam in his hand at the sow. The sow who was hit didn't react much. I don't know if he thinks the two little guys are not a threat, or the lazy nature of the pig. The sow arched He turned his head, ate the yam near his mouth, and continued to close his eyes.

The Arthur brothers and sisters heard the movement behind them and saw that Nord had not returned for a long time. They happened to meet the wild boar they bullied him, and they were scared to hide behind Molly.

Nord is a little speechless. Is he so scary? Logically speaking, his appearance is relatively handsome, with black hair and black eyes, and softer facial lines. Why is it that every time Art sees himself, it is like seeing a ghost? Nord smiled bitterly, ignoring the question.

Walking to the front of the pigsty, the pigsty is divided into three rooms, each of which houses a sow and eight or nine piglets. Nuode mainly observes the piglets, and these piglets are all around the sow. Binode When they were caught, they were fully grown up, and they were more adapted to life in captivity. Seeing the piglets grow so vigorously, Nord was relieved.

Turning to Molly on the side, he said:

You have raised these wild boars well. Thank you for your hard work. Later, I will ask the butler Abel to pay you some wages. You can also ask Reed for the yams for raising pigs. You don't need to go digging in the forest.

Thank you Lord Nord, I didn't work hard, I feel very honored to be able to help you.

After briefly talking about Lehman's situation with Molly, Nord went back upstairs to rest. In the past half a month, he hasn't had a good rest every day. He just came back today, so he will stay here and have a good night's rest. Go to the Wild Boar Cave stronghold tomorrow to prepare for another departure.

During this period of time, I have listened to a lot of suggestions from book friends, so when I write a book, I want to try some new things, so if there are any problems, I hope everyone can point them out, and I will correct them. I hope everyone will take care of them and give me more support. ,Many thanks!
