Chapter 19: Initial Construction of Territory, Planning for the Future
"I don't know yet what my manservant's name is." Field asked the butler.
"Sir, his name is Crock. He is sixteen years old. His parents are farmers. The chef is called Plate, and the maid is called Scissors and Sparrow respectively."
In this world, only people with knowledge, nobles, or people with extraordinary power will have nice names.
For example, Field's full name is Field Rose, and Rose means rose, but as a name, it is more appropriate to call him Rose directly. Just like President George W. Bush, whose full name is George Walker Bush, you could translate it as George Walker Bush, but it sounds too weird.
"Sir, do you have any orders?" Cun Guan was so frightened that his voice trembled when he was called.
He was worried that he would be fired, so he was lazy for ten minutes yesterday when mopping the floor.
"The temporary bed you made for the carriage is very soft. If it hadn't been for the temporary bed you made, I might have fallen apart all the way." Field said in a relaxed tone, snapping his fingers, "Kaa, reward Crock with a silver coin. "
"Hiss~"
Others immediately cast jealous glances. One silver coin was equivalent to more than 6 days' salary.
Crock was stunned for a moment, then showed an ecstatic expression, threw himself at Field's feet, and kissed Field's boots: "Goddess above, thank you for your generosity."
"Good luck boy." Scissors pouted, very unhappy. What's the big deal about making the bed? She can also warm the bed.
Cun Guan silently vowed in his heart that he would never be lazy again, even for a minute.
"The selection is held once a month. Everyone may be rewarded with silver coins. As long as they perform well, everyone will have a chance. The chef makes delicious meals, the maid cleans the room, and so on. I see it all."
Everyone was breathing rapidly and looking at each other, seeing the fierce competition in each other's eyes.
The corners of Field's mouth raised slightly. From now on, their work efficiency will be ignited by silver coins. The most important thing is that there will be situations such as reporting and snitching, and Field needs them to do this. It may not be a good thing for his subordinates to work together, and there will be a phenomenon of working together to deceive the lord.
"Okay, you go and do your work." Field smiled at everyone and waved his hand to indicate that they could go. Everyone left quickly, but the housekeeper took two steps and came back hesitantly. Field asked doubtfully, "What's wrong?"
"Sir, uh, although it's not good to say this, but as your steward, I need to give you some suggestions." Since Kaa entered the Night Territory alive, he changed his previous complaints and began to work seriously.
Field raised his eyebrows: "Speak freely."
"It's about race. You seem to have given demi-humans a way to rise, promising them the possibility of becoming free people, but... demi-humans are different from us, they are stupid, uh, sorry, except for Lady Asuna, the rest There seems to be no need to give them freedom.”
Field pondered for a moment: "We are now in a cursed land, surrounded by death. The proverb says: When you are in Azerlia, you must be an Azerian."
"We Night Leaders should have our own rules. I will announce a unified decree tomorrow. You will know then."
In the evening, Field took out a pen and paper and drafted a farming plan for Nightfall Collar.
He wrote in Chinese characters that only he could understand: "Plunder and explore."
"I don't even have any territory. If I want to develop rapidly and accumulate production means, I can't do it with just two hundred people."
Even the land is full of toxins.
"Dong dong dong~"
There was a knock on the door.
"Sir, it's me." Asuna's voice came from outside the door.
Field's plan requires Asuna's support: "Please come in, I'm waiting for you."
"Good evening, sir." Asuna was wearing a slender maid uniform. The girl's slender legs were posing in a shy posture, but there was a slightly shy look on her face. After being separated from the hard life of a slave, her cold jade-like skin was able to Seeing the sun again, in fact, even her feet were very cold, her toes were long and white, and extremely beautiful, "What can I do for you?"
I don’t know if it was an illusion, but the atmosphere immediately became ambiguous.
Field slapped his head, no wonder Asheina looked embarrassed.
Anyone who calls a girl to his room in the middle of the night will think nonsense.
"Ahem, it's about the development of the territory."
"Oh." Ashina's little hand with nowhere to rest immediately dropped. She breathed a sigh of relief, but she was slightly disappointed in her heart. "Sir, I have no management experience, so I may not be able to help you."
Before Asuna became a slave, she was just a free citizen, the daughter of a wolf-human Orion family. Can't read, write, or manage.
"It's okay. You can learn. I will teach you step by step. Besides, you are the chosen one, so you have a natural advantage."
The biggest class jump in the world is to become the Chosen One.
One moment you may face the death penalty, but the next moment you become the chosen one, the local nobles will directly declare you innocent and treat you as a guest. After all, God will never choose the wrong person.
This is also the reason why the lower class are unwilling to resist the lord, because everyone has the opportunity to jump in class. As long as their daughter or daughter-in-law becomes the chosen one, they will naturally have no worries about food and clothing.
"I decided to rob my brother." Field said Wang Fang.
Ashina was confused: Can I listen to this?
"Okay, I support you unconditionally!" After confirming that Field was not joking, Asheina thought for a moment, "You are not a cruel and evil person, I can feel this."
When she was a slave, Field never abused her or did anything worse than an animal while he was asleep. On the contrary, Field was the most unique person she had ever met.
He could treat subhumans equally, er, or even like them a little? This might be an illusion, but there is no doubt that Field was a gentleman!
"Thank you." Field poured a cup of black tea for Ashina, "It's a long story."
He still remembered that his brother's fierce and perverted eyes really made him sleepless.
His brother was clamoring to kill the people he cared about, but Field was not the soft persimmon that the original owner could manipulate.
Fight back fiercely! And you must start preparing from now on.
"I will tell you the reason slowly. I need you to help me train a light cavalry team that is specially born for looting."
Field's dear second sister "aided" him with twenty war horses, which came in handy now.
After agreeing on the plan, Field convened a meeting of all the people the next day, and even every slave had to participate.
Everyone who came to participate would be attracted by the wooden box next to Field, which was full of silver and copper coins.
Field did not start with a long speech, but took out a list.
"Members of the Guard, come and collect the bounty according to the name I reported. One silver coin for each corpse killed. I will do what I say."
