Chapter 118 Wilson's Complaint

Chapter 119 119. Wilson's Complaint

After Browning's explanation, Roning learned a lot about taming magic beasts.

Generally speaking, the methods used to tame magic beasts are five sets of combined punches: starvation, endurance, beating, reward, and training.

For some magic beasts with weak willpower, starving them for a meal and then giving them some food can make them surrender after repeated several times. With training, after two or three generations of reproduction, you can get a relatively docile pet.

For fierce magic beasts, it is not so easy to tame them. After all, they are not only violent, but most of them have high intelligence.

Some guys would rather starve to death than eat a bite of food thrown by humans. If you want to make them surrender, you can only rely on auxiliary props such as magic beast contract scrolls to establish a master-servant relationship from the soul.

However, the storm wolf cub Roning obtained was a little different. First, it did not stay with the mother wolf for too long, and second, it was so small that it didn't even open its eyes.

There is an unwritten saying in the animal training world that cubs will have a deep impression of the first person or animal they see when they open their eyes.

So Browning suggested that Roning interact with the cub more in the past few days to ensure that he is the first person the cub sees when he opens his eyes.

At the same time, he also gave instructions that Roning should be close to the cub after it opens its eyes, interact with the cub in a gentle, friendly and patient manner, and try to minimize the interference with the cub.

In this way, the foundation of trust is built, and then it is almost enough to let the other party know the identity of Roning's master through training, rewards and punishments.

Storm wolf is also a wolf. Humans can tame wild wolves into dogs, and it is still very feasible to tame magic wolves into "magic dogs".

After sending the trainer away, Roning and Irene played with the storm wolf cub for a while.

"Let's give it a name, brother?"

Irene gently stroked the cub's head, as if she felt that she had another playmate in Shanlin Town.

Maybe because it was touched too many times, the cub was a little resistant at first, but now it just hums and doesn't resist.

Roning thought for a while and said, "I see it has black hair all over, so let's call it 'Little Black'."

"Little Black?"

Irene tilted her head and thought for a while, "Brother, can you change it to a more domineering name? Little Black sounds weak, how about calling it 'Black Tiger'?"

"My father said that tiger-like monsters are very powerful!"

"Black Tiger is also OK."

Roning smiled and agreed, "Looking at its tiger-like appearance, it's appropriate to call it this name."

"Hehe, Black Tiger, Black Tiger~"

Amid Irene's cheerful shouts, the butler Galen knocked on the door again, "Master, the political officer Wilson is here, he has something to report to you."

"Let him come to my study."

Roning touched the little head of the black tiger, let Irene play with it, and then left the temporary pet room.

"Sir, long time no see!"

In the study, Wilson greeted Roning warmly.

"Long time no see, Wilson. How are the accommodation arrangements for the craftsmen?" Roning asked.

"Sir, although we have been building wooden houses for the past two months, the number of people you brought this time is a bit large, and they are all famous craftsmen. It is a bit difficult to let them live in a single room."

Roning nodded, frowned and thought for a while.

"It is my promise to provide accommodation for the craftsmen, but if there are limited houses in the early stage, they can live in one room with multiple people, and then promise to change them after the expansion. Most of the craftsmen come in groups, so living together should not be a problem."

These people came to Shanlin Town not as guests, but as workers working for Roning, and came to start a business.

It is enough for Roning to provide a house that can shelter from the wind and rain, and there is no guarantee of luxury.

"Oh, by the way, let Master Daen live in the outer fort, and make better arrangements for the potter Jim."

Master Daen is related to the manufacture of looms, and Jim is related to porcelain. These two are the pillar industries of Shanlin Town in the future. It is not excessive to treat these two people, especially Master Daen, with some courtesy.

Wilson remembered the names of these two people firmly. It was definitely unusual to be singled out by the lord.

Next, Ronin explained to Wilson about the work arrangements of these craftsmen.

The carpenter can be arranged to the iron and wood workshop, where the newly built factory area is relatively large and has enough space to display;

The two new masons and five apprentices will naturally join the army of house builders to prepare for Ronin's subsequent population expansion;

The only difficult arrangement is the blacksmith-Kales's blacksmith shop is not big and can't accommodate so many people to work.

Shanlin Town needs to build a new blacksmith shop.

Luo Ning thought for a moment and ordered, "The day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow morning, let all the craftsmen come to Shanlin Fortress for a meeting, and call Carles, William and others from the town."

"Okay, sir, I will notify them tomorrow."

Wilson wrote down everything, "Sir, we have planted the cabbage according to your ridge tillage method, and applied urine fertilizer according to your method. After more than a month, the growth is very good. Do you have time to inspect it?"

The first wave of crops planted by Shanlin Town using the ridge tillage method was cabbage. Now, after two months, it has indeed grown.

Chahar, who had been standing aside, also reported: "Sir, according to Maxin's report, several piles of feces at the fertilizer base have turned black as you said, and they no longer smell. I went over to take a look, and I should be satisfied. I heard your request. When are you going to check it out?”

Luo Ning nodded, "Let's go to the fertilizer base first, and then check the cabbage planting situation tomorrow. Oh, by the way, Wilson, have you planned the experimental field?"

Wilson nodded, "Sir, with the assistance of the four village chiefs, I have planned ten acres of land in each village."

These forty acres of land were specially used by Luo Ning to cultivate wheat.

Luo Ning planned to have people cultivate it intensively, and then select large and plump wheat ears as seeds, which would also serve as a base for testing the effects of fertilizers.

If he wanted to get seeds with good properties, he could only think of this method.

As for other wheat fields, in terms of the original planting method, Luo Ning has asked the village chiefs and team leaders to take the lead in collecting dead branches and leaves and other things to burn fire dung before spring plowing, and at the same time applying a little fertilizer to ensure that the wheat fields are in good condition. Irrigation and weeding can be carried out effectively.

In short, we must never grow food with the "seven gods bless" mentality like before.

The conversation lasted for a long time. Most of them were Wilson and Chahar reporting on the situation in Shanlin Town in the past month. Luo Ning also asked a lot of questions.

Overall, the agricultural aspects of Shanlin Town are basically moving in the direction Luo Ning expected. The only problem may still be the lack of manpower.

When Luo Ning came back, he thought about whether to take a detour to Muma City to buy a group of slaves. However, considering that the winter was coming, it would be difficult to transport so many slaves, and there were not that many houses in Shanlin Town, so he had to give up.

"grown ups……"

Wilson was hesitant, as if he had something he wanted to say but didn't dare to say it.

Seeing this, Luo Ning smiled and said: "Wilson, you have done a good job recently. If you have any ideas and opinions, please feel free to mention them."

After receiving the affirmation, Wilson plucked up the courage and said, "Sir, can you recruit an assistant for me?"

He quickly explained: "With the assistance of the village chief and team leader, it is very convenient for me to handle agricultural matters. But sir, regarding the arrangement and supervision of slave work, logging, and construction, I can't handle it alone. ”

When he first applied for Luo Ning's job as a political officer, Wilson never imagined that a political officer would be so busy. After all, the previous Prince seemed very idle.

But since becoming Luo Ning's political officer, Wilson has never had a good night's sleep.

Although he very much enjoyed the enthusiastic honorifics given to him by the village chief, group leader and the people, and also enjoyed being busy and seeing the harvest process, the lord's team was getting bigger and bigger, and there were more and more things to do, and he was alone Some are too busy.

Taking pity on his ordinary riding horse, he was afraid that it would be exhausted if he ran too much every day.

Luo Ning nodded slowly.

"I understand your situation. There are indeed more and more affairs in Shanlin Town. It is really difficult for you to be responsible for them all."

"One assistant is clearly not enough."

The main reason is that there are still three places, Qingzhu Village, Ziguo Village and Huitu Village, where there are no political officers. Luo Ning needs to ask Wilson to bring out a few people.

"Let's do this. I'll give you five places. You go to the town to recruit five administrative officer assistants. Each assistant will earn about three copper coins a day. It's best if you can read. If you can't read, arrange other jobs."

Wilson's eyes widened, a little overjoyed.

He only needed one assistant, but he didn't expect that the Lord would approve five of them at once.

"My lord, you are so generous!"

Luo Ning chuckled. Now he has money. The five political assistants add up to only five gold coins a year, which is nothing.

"Let them learn from you. If they perform well, I will arrange for these people to serve as political affairs officers in the three villages in the north. At that time, Wilson, I will promote you to the position of 'political affairs chief', responsible for seven villages in Shanlin Town. All government affairs in the village.”

"Of course, the salary will also increase." He added.

The political officer is a civilian position he made up, which is one level higher than the political officer.

Wilson's eyes sparkled after hearing this, and this sentence alone swept away his recent fatigue.

He had long seen the extraordinary qualities of the lord in front of him.

Although he is currently trapped in Hillwood Town and is just a little baron, Wilson believes that sooner or later Ronin will get out.

He was very worried about whether the lord would stay here as the political officer of the town if he left Shanlin Town in the future.

But now that the lord has said this, it means that he will also have the opportunity to follow Luo Ning's footsteps out of this mountain town and go to the wider world outside to make a name for himself.

"Don't worry, Sir, Wilson will definitely live up to your expectations!"
