Chapter 436 Toilet Supervisor

After establishing a cooperative relationship, Li Yu handed over the specific details to Zhang Yanlin to discuss with Coke Bear, and he was finally able to transfer more energy back to Bratis.

As early as one or two months ago, the farmers in the green field were already talking about this summer's harvest with great interest.

Thanks to the abundant rain and moderate temperature after winter, the crops in the field are growing well, which indicates that this will be a bumper harvest year.

Moreover, these winter wheat and carrots are just appetizers, and the results of spring plowing will be seen in two or three months.

The new farm tools and farming methods vigorously promoted by the Shuangxiu Church, coupled with a series of corresponding preferential policies introduced by the female lord, have greatly improved the farmers' farming enthusiasm and efficiency.

At the same time, the use of composting technology has also significantly improved the environmental sanitation of the green field.

After Yileiya led people to inspect Li Yu's dry toilets, she also built [-] toilets on her own territory in one go.

Anyway, it's not difficult to build this thing, just dig a hole in the ground, if you don't have enough bricks, build a shed with wood first, although it's not that strong, it doesn't affect its use, and it's more economical.

In order to encourage the people in the territory to relieve themselves in dry toilets and get rid of the habit of defecating indiscriminately, the female lord not only set an example, but also sealed up the high-altitude hut in Teacup Fort and transformed it into a small dry toilet, and by the way solved the problem once and for all. The risk of being assassinated by people digging into the latrine.

Later, a group of toilet supervisors were appointed in the farm villages, who were responsible for patrolling and checking who did not pull in the dry toilet.

These people are called toilet officers by the locals, but later the female lord found that it was not realistic to rely on toilet supervisors to monitor whether everyone had a good bowel movement.

After all, the green field is not a modern society. There are cameras everywhere. In such a big village, there are hundreds of people running around everywhere. arrive.

It is not feasible to count whether the villagers have ever been to the dry toilet every day. After all, physiological needs are different for each person every day. Some people have to pull several times a day, and some only go once in two or three days.

In addition, even if you are forced to go in and out of the dry toilet every day, it does not mean that you must relieve your hands in it.

In addition, the quality of low-level officials is generally worrying. Once some people have power in their hands, even if they only have the power to supervise whether everyone has the power to go to the toilet properly, they can play around and seek personal gain for themselves.

Therefore, the toilet supervisor only existed for less than a month, and was revoked by the female lord because of various malpractices.

In the end, it was through the use of the name of Saturday by the Hughes who taught on weekends to continuously educate the believers that the number of people using dry toilets gradually increased.

There are also tragedies, such as a drunk who got out of bed at night to go to the toilet, slipped in accidentally, and was drowned in feces.

Generally speaking, people's acceptance of dry toilets is still getting higher and higher, especially after the winter has passed and the temperature has warmed up, people are not so resistant to walking more to go to the toilet.

In June, the wheat and rye in the fields and the carrots planted in February finally matured, and the fields were full of hardworking figures.

The Hughes of the Shuangxiu Church also have new tasks. Since the growth of crops has its own natural laws and does not depend on human will, farmers often need to work continuously when harvesting.

This requires counting the working time of each person, and then taking time off and compensatory time off when you are free.

Especially those farms owned by the nobles, the working hours and work intensity of the serfs are also the focus of the Shuangxiu religion.

The court where Jintong is located is the busiest at this time. In addition to daily patrol inspections, they will immediately dispatch to the scene of the incident to investigate after receiving corresponding reports and complaints.

Contrary to what most people think, the living conditions of serfs in the Middle Ages were generally better than those of black slaves in later generations.

I don't know if this counts as a retrogression of civilization in some sense.

Like black slaves, serfs in the Middle Ages were also attached to their lords, and they were not allowed to leave the lord's fief for the rest of their lives. They could be bought, sold, and mortgaged, but unlike black slaves, they could not be killed at will.

A trial was required before a serf could be arrested or executed, although this trial was often left to the lord's discretion.

In addition, serfs were free to form families and own their own private property. In addition to paying land rent like free farmers, serfs also needed to work for the lord without pay.

According to the tradition of the Bratis continent, serfs worked for the lord for four out of every ten days.

This is also an important reason why most lords in the western region do not welcome Li Yu and his Shuangxiu religion.

If the serfs in the territory join the Shuangxiu religion, abide by the precepts of the Shuangxiu religion, and rest two days a week, assuming that their working hours for the lord remain unchanged, the time left to cultivate their own land in a month is only The next ten days or so.

This is obviously not enough for the serfs to make a living, but if this part of the rest time is counted on the lords, it will undoubtedly cause dissatisfaction among the lords.

Even with the support of Ilea, Luye still quarreled on this issue for a long time.

After all, Ilea is only the biggest lord of the green field, and there are knight fiefs below. If one is not handled well, it will easily chill the hearts of those vassals who have served the Arias family for many years.

In the end, after several rounds of negotiations, the top and bottom of the green field reluctantly reached an agreement. The lords reduced the monthly working hours of the serfs from 12 days to 8 days.

Converted to a week, it is almost five days off and two days off, and an extra half day of rest is given as a gift.

When signing the contract, Pablo's distressed hands trembled, but in the end he was cruel and wrote his name on the white paper.

After signing his name, Pablo said to Li Yu, "Master Merlin, please tell Supreme Saturday that the Hogg family has dedicated all their loyalty to it."

Li Yu replied, "You will not regret today's decision, Sir Pablo."

As Pablo, who had the toughest attitude and the most meritorious service, accepted the new serf employment schedule, the remaining nobles stopped resisting and stepped forward to write their names.

Afterwards, the handwriting on this white paper will be engraved on the stone tablet, and it will stand forever beside the Teacup Castle, binding all the nobles on this land and their descendants.

However, although the written oath has been fulfilled, it is not so easy to fully implement it.

Even if those little nobles themselves are willing to keep their oath, the people below them may not be able to faithfully implement it.

Jin Tong is going to deal with one such thing now.
