After dealing with Cinderella, Richard thought about it and decided that since everyone had already been summoned, he might as well save some trouble and finish the matter at once, so that he wouldn't have to summon them again next time.
So he temporarily blocked the deterrent effect and said:
"I know what you are expecting, don't worry, I will not break my promise to you."
Everyone felt the shock and pressure suddenly dissipate, and then heard the words of the lord, their hearts were so excited that they almost jumped out.
Richard's voice continued:
"I have said before that I will give you houses after the wheat is harvested. Now I declare that you can live in the new house starting today!"
With a bang, everyone was boiling with excitement.
They jumped up with joy, and shouted"Long live the lord" and so on.
Some people were stepped on without noticing, some fell to the ground while jumping, and quickly got up, and took the opportunity to kowtow to Richard in the middle, the main point is not to waste opportunities.
There were even three or five people who fainted from excitement.
Richard was speechless. They had worked for several days in the hot summer before, and they did not faint, but now they fainted after hearing the good news.
Fortunately, he found that those people were not in danger of life by checking the system information, so it didn't matter.
However, in order to avoid being trampled to death, he still pressed his hands and signaled everyone to rest. Silence.
Everyone stopped jumping and used their hands to calm their chests, but they couldn't stop smiling, and their muscles were sore from laughing.
Only the eight people who were previously lazy and were publicly pointed out by Richard looked dejected.
They all wanted to get the reward, but they didn't expect Richard to be so observant that nothing could be hidden from his surveillance.
But the good thing is that except for one of the bachelors, the families of the other seven people worked very diligently and there was no sign of laziness, so their families could all live in the new house.
Only a few of them were not allowed, and had to continue living in the shed where they had been living all this time.
Richard spoke:
"I will have someone make a small sign for you eight people to hang around your neck. From today on, everyone has the right to monitor your behavior. If I don't receive any reports within a month, you can live in a stone house like your family.
As for Cummings, you have no family, so don't worry, there will be a house left for you.
But!
If you still don't repent within this month, you will go down to the cave with the slaves!
You don't have to worry about someone slandering you because of the disputes and grievances with you in the past. If anyone can bear the crime of slander, I will naturally deal with it myself!"
The eight people immediately burst into tears and knelt on the ground to thank Richard.
"Thank you for your kindness, lord. From now on, I will work hard and be the first one to get up and work every day!"
"I am willing to work for the lord with all my strength, just to make up for my past mistakes!"
"I will never do it again, and I will never be lazy again!"
For a moment, the eight people made promises one after another.
They thought of Ewing's previous fate, and then thought of going to the salt mine. They were afraid just by looking at the scars on the slaves standing by that were stung by the salt water and healed.
In the past few days, when they were working in the wheat fields, they also communicated with the slaves and knew that it was very hard there, much harder than working outside.
Whether it was to regain the house or to avoid going to the salt mine, they were willing to repent from the bottom of their hearts.
This time, they were really scared.
Richard noticed their inner changes, and with the prohibition of lying still in effect in the square, he nodded immediately.
These people are actually in good physical condition. Now that they can turn over a new leaf, it is a gain, and it is also a warning to others.
Then, he spoke to everyone:
"I'll be frank with you and reiterate that everything here belongs to me. The house is only for you to use for a hundred years, not forever!"
Everyone was stunned for a moment, not knowing what 100 years felt like.
Before, their average life expectancy was only in their thirties, and 100 years was three lifetimes for them.
So they didn't care about this number of years at all, they were just excited.
And this time, even the eight people who survived the disaster were very happy.
Although they couldn't move in right away, they definitely had hope for at least a month of trial period.
……
""Start allocating houses! Draw lots!"
With Ali's shout, the whole scene reached a climax!
There are a total of 688 households in the entire territory, of which nearly 500 have militias, so there are nearly 200 households that need to be allocated houses.
Richard had nothing to do, so he decided to draw lots for them himself!
There are more than enough houses, and Richard's original design was also fully prepared for the possible increase in population in the future.
And these people can only live in a small part of the area.
At this time, Ali was shouting on the scene, and Charles and others brought militias to help maintain order.
"The seven guardians stand here, and then the heads of each household of the other households line up in order and stand behind the guardians. Don't be chaotic, line up in an orderly manner!"
"Only the head of each household can queue up. If you have no family members, you are the head of the household, so hurry up and follow!"
"Hey, isn't your son a member of the militia? You already have a house, why are you here to cause trouble? Get out now!"
"Attention everyone, if you have militiamen at home, please leave the team and go home with your militiamen family members at night. Remember to move your luggage over when the time comes. There is no need to remind you about this!"
"What? Separate households? What did you do before? There are 8 people in your family? You didn't know when the house was built. There are enough rooms for each household!"
"When drawing lots, everyone must report the number of people in their family. If there are more than 10 people, the lord will divide the households for you on the spot. If it is impossible to divide them, proper arrangements will be made to ensure that everyone in every household has a house to live in!"
"If there are any problems with the housing afterwards, the head of the household shall report it to the head of the village, and the head of the village shall report it to the head of the village, and you heads of the village shall go directly to the clerk to deal with it!"
The situations of each household are different, and there are still many concerns. Now, after hearing Ali's words, they all feel relieved.
It must be said that Ali is born to be an official. After several months of training, his originally calm character can face any situation without panic and handle it in an orderly manner.
Except for the two or three knights who were recently promoted, the original four knights can now stand on their own.
Ali coordinated the people and slaves, and was excellent in comprehensive management of engineering, work, and people's livelihood.
As the top master among the four knights, Hinton had a more bookish air. In addition to the large amount of teaching materials and various humanities that Richard got from the system, Historical works, this kid can write articles whenever he opens his mouth, and he has many ways of doing things.
Charles, on the other hand, is dressed in iron and blood, standing there with the militia. Even if he doesn't exude an aura, he gives people the feeling of being a veteran in the battlefield.
As for Helen, because he has a lively mind and is flexible in doing things, Richard's original plan to let him set up another militia in the future has changed.
In a short period of time, there will not be too many new recruits, but many things in the territory can be divided into different responsibilities.
He plans to let Helen lead a group of people to be responsible for public security and law enforcement investigations.
If Charles is asked to do this, it will be awkward no matter how you look at it. No matter what he does, it looks like he is going to war.
……
In the square, Old George had been waiting in line for a long time. When he saw that it was finally his turn, he was immediately excited:
"Greetings, Lord. I am from the 7th 3rd Athlete, and there are 4 people in my family."
In the square, Richard was sitting at the table, drawing lots for everyone.
Hearing this, he nodded, took out a bamboo slip from the alley next to him, took a look at it, and then handed it over:
"Do you know the characters? Read them out loud!"
During this period of time, he had been asking these people to learn to read characters after work. Now that he was drawing lots, he could also be considered as testing them.
Old George quickly took the bamboo slip, and after a quick salute, he looked at the bamboo slip and said:
"Area 1, Lane 14, Lane 28, No. 3"
"Well, that's right! There's a house number on it, don't go wrong! Next one!"
Old George was immediately excited, holding the bamboo piece happily, as if he was holding the most precious treasure in the world.
The militiaman next to him saw him about to leave, and quickly stopped him and reminded him:
"Register it with the clerk, otherwise if the bamboo slip is lost, your house will have no proof!"
Old George nodded quickly: (To read the violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
"Right! The chief just said that���Later, the Lord will have our address information, so we don’t have to worry about losing this bamboo slip!"
He looked at the soldier with a bit of embarrassment and smiled:
"I was so excited just now that I almost forgot. Thank you, brother!"
"You're welcome, come over! There's a queue over there too!" The militiaman said with a smile.
This was a time of national carnival, everyone was very happy, and the militiamen were very friendly.
After all, after several months, they could finally live with their families, and that feeling was really exciting.
Before joining the militia, when they lived with their families, they were still in the cesspool in the old town, and they woke up every day covered in feces.
Now, several months have passed in a blink of an eye, and they can finally live with their families again, but it's such an environment that makes them feel as if they were in another world.
Old George did not stop, and soon came to the clerk's side to queue up. After a long wait, he finally completed the registration, and he could no longer hold back his excitement.
As soon as he left the registration site, he came to his family as quickly as possible.
"How about it, George, did we win the house?" The wife was so excited that she thought to herself that she was a young girl.
"Of course I got it!" Old George handed the bamboo slip over excitedly,"Let me show you!"
""Mom and Dad, we want to see it too!" The two children jumped and pulled their mother's clothes.
The mother smiled and squatted down. This time the whole family could see it.
"Wow wow wow! We have a home, mom, we have a home! We don’t have to live in a big shed with a bunch of people anymore!"
Several people gathered together to look at the small words on the bamboo slips, and then hugged each other excitedly.
""Hey, George, where do you live?" Someone shouted.
Old George saw that it was an acquaintance, and as if he was worried that he had said it wrong, he quickly read out his address by looking at the bamboo slip.
"You are on 14th Street, we are on 7th Street, we are not neighbors!" The man was a little disappointed,"Come visit my house in the future! When your house is ready, do you welcome me to visit?"
"Of course, you are my best brother!"Old George smiled and put his arm around the other's shoulders.[]
At this time, a young man came over and said:
"Uncle George, we are neighbors!"
"Really? Which room do you live in?" Old George asked curiously.
"No. 1, Lane 28, 14th Street!"The young man said with a smile
"It’s one store away, but it’s very close!" Old George nodded, but he and the young man were obviously not very familiar with each other.
The young man shook his head:
"My brother is a militiaman. I heard from him that No. 1, No. 3, and No. 5 are on one side, and No. 2 and No. 4 are opposite each other on the other side, so we are really next to each other!"
Then, he suddenly suggested excitedly:
"By the way, Uncle George, if our two families get different types of meat in the future, we can eat them together! This way we can eat two kinds of meat at the same time!"
Seeing the hesitation in old George's eyes, the young man smiled and said:
"Don't worry, there are only three of us in our family! We won't take advantage of you!"
Old George seemed to have his secrets revealed, and he immediately said awkwardly:
"That's not what I meant. After all, the lord distributes the meat based on the number of people, so no one will suffer any loss! Then let's do as you say!"
""Let's go look at the house together after we disperse," the young man said.
At this moment, Ali's voice suddenly sounded in the distance:
"Attention everyone, those who have drawn lots and registered for houses can take your family to see the houses, and you can also move in!
Family members of the militia, one person each, come out and line up here to determine the living location, and you can go home first!"
Hearing this, everyone jumped up happily.
Old George waved excitedly at his wife and two children, and then said to the young man next to him:
"Let's go! Let's look at houses together!"
Everyone was so happy that they rushed to their new houses with their families! On the way, Old George saw many people hugging and kissing the stone pillars at the door of their homes. He was envious and regretted that his home was not so close to the square.
At this moment, he wished he could grow wings and get to the new home quickly.
That would be the place where he, his son and grandson would live for the rest of their lives!
……
Here, half an hour later, Richard finally finished drawing all the houses, and turned to Ali and said:
"I'll notify everyone later and ask them to come to the square in the evening. We'll hold a bonfire celebration party with plenty of food prepared to celebrate the harvest in our territory!"
""Okay, lord! I'll arrange for someone to prepare food right away!" Ali said happily.
