Civilization spreads to another world

"More than 100 young and strong recruited 42 people, less than half?"

Huo Ci looked at the numbers on the paper and frowned: "No, too few."

Shi Yu spread his hands: "There are only so many who meet the conditions."

Between the ages of sixteen and twenty-five, they must be healthy and strong, and have no record of making mistakes after entering Baishan Village. Only these 25 people were screened out.

Huo Ci gritted his teeth: "Then relax the conditions. Including the existing guards, there must be at least 100 people."

Shi Yu did the math, minus the current 28 members of the escort team, there was still a shortfall of thirty.

"Let me see..." He took out his notebook, "Five of those who made mistakes were brushed down, and six of them were too short and thin. If all of them were included, there would be a difference of 25. The age limit can never be lowered. If you don't, those whose physical fitness exceeds [-] will definitely not be able to keep up..."

The serfs at the bottom, not to mention over 25, some 20 years old look like 40 years old, coupled with long-term malnutrition, overdrawn labor, and physical fitness is worrying.

Huo Ci heard something: "You mean..."

"Accept people." Shi Yu expressed his intention, "Accept another group of people, don't say one hundred, just make up two hundred for you."

He didn't agree with relaxing the conditions, not to mention how it would make those selected think. Rules are rules, which can be supplemented and revised in the next recruitment, but they can't be broken as soon as they are set.

After all, there are still too few people, and the selection range is limited.

"Jin moved to Xiangkui Town in two days, and asked him to bring another group of people back."

"Now is a good time for spring plowing. Try to reclaim as many varieties as you can. You also said that the farming team is short of manpower, and we must add more people. We can't let everyone put down their work and start farming."

"Paper mills, soap factories, pottery factories... there is a shortage of people everywhere."

Huo Ci tapped on the table and didn't answer right away.

During this time, they sent Jin to Xiangkui Town three times, and sold out the remaining four bottles of wine in exchange for more food and supplies, including livestock.

It also confirmed their previous guess that something big was about to happen.

The two analyzed that either the situation on the front line was not good, Baron Cypress's father, the Marquis Changchang, was defeated, and the baron was ready to pack up and run away at any time.

Either the marquis won, the baron was promoted, and he planned to buy property to take over a larger territory.

Either way, it's not good news for them.

It doesn't matter whether the baron goes or not, the important thing is that if a Baron Cypress leaves, another baron will come again.

Sooner or later, the changes in Baishan Village will be discovered, and the news that they are angels will spread. If they are really angels, there is no need to be afraid, but they are not.

A real envoy should look for the pastor and the Holy See as soon as he arrives. How could he hide in a small mountain village and secretly build infrastructure like them.

The fate of heretics in the Middle Ages is obvious to all, and it would not be any better to come here.

From the attitude of the serfs towards them, we can see how the Holy See exists.

Shi Yu and Huo Ci never underestimated the people here. The serfs were not smart enough to be fooled, but the nobles and the Holy See were not.

So they never thought of seeking cooperation with the Holy See.

This is the trouble caused by the unequal information. In this world, the classes are clearly divided, the knowledge is all monopolized by the nobles, and the bottom serfs know nothing but obedience.

Even though Shi Yu and Huo Ci had good intentions towards this world, they still had to start from scratch. After traveling for so long, they still haven't got a single book about this world, even if they can't read it.

So right now, we can only shrink back to a corner and grow ourselves first.

"It can't exceed three hundred." Huo Ci withdrew his thoughts and said, "I'm afraid there will be trouble if there are too many. I still don't know who the serf behind the scenes is. If they come along..."

Shi Yu's heart trembled, it was a good thing for the serfs to have a sense of resistance, but if the mind was used on them, it would be insensitive.

Although this person is commendable for his sense of resistance, but hiding behind his back and pushing dozens of serfs to be cannon fodder in exchange for benefits, the means are too inferior and cruel.

"I'll take these 42 for training first." Huo Ci said, "When the new refugees are brought back, there must be someone to help maintain order."

Shi Yu nodded, looked at the list he made on the paper, and sighed: "I really hope that the marquis loses, maybe the baron can save some manpower when he runs away, even if it is a maid and a male servant. "

The class division is too severe. Finding talents from the serfs is like winning the first prize in the lottery. There are more and more people in the village, and there is an urgent need for management talents. Now it is all done by him and Huo Ci. The serfs are afraid of making mistakes. I even have to come and talk to them about digging out the dung.

I hope those students will have at least three to five years. There is no teaching material, and it is all based on his and Huo Ci's memory. The two have been out of school for many years, and many basic knowledge have been returned to the teacher. Fortunately, Huo Ci has a nephew who happened to be in elementary school and asked him to tutor him. Homework, otherwise you won't even be able to make up a complete set of pinyin.

There are not too many people to compile textbooks and manage these chores every day. If they can be busy, if there are hundreds more people, it will definitely be chaotic.

He wanted to cultivate Qingfengmingyue, but the servile thoughts of the two of them were deeply ingrained. They only wanted to be their servants, and they had no complaints about serving tea and water and doing rough work, even if they worked hard. Kowtow straight.

Whenever this happens, Shi Yu deeply admires the protagonists in time-travel novels who can train servants to be their own.

Qingshi once again took the guards to escort Jin to Xiangkui Town.

With previous experiences, everyone is no longer afraid. Although Shi Yu was worried, it was not as heavy as it was at the beginning.

Perhaps because he was afraid that the robbers would unite with the serfs, the baron sent knights to wipe out the robbers after the serfs' siege was resolved.

It happened to be convenient for them.

·

Jin Yi and Qing Shi arrived at Xiangkui Town before dark.

From afar, the bonfires scattered outside the town were serfs gathered outside the town.

Jin Yi was a little surprised that these serfs were still there.

At this time in the past, everyone had already started farming. For example, Baishan Village wanted to grow cabbage, and the land had to be reclaimed in January every year. This year, because there were no seeds, it was several days late. He and Qingshi switched to seeds and went back to plant.

There are also peppers, red fruits, eggplants, lettuce, sugar cane...

All the envoys who could plant were allowed to plant.

At the busiest time, even the construction of the city wall stopped, and the construction team was sent to help the farming team.

The last time he came was ten days ago—in order to conceal Baishan Village, he kept telling others that he bought grain to sell in the two neighboring towns.

At that time, he wondered why the serfs hadn't returned to the village, but he didn't expect them to be there again. The cabbage in Baishan Village was almost ripe.

He went to ask some village chiefs he knew.

"No seeds," they said.

Jin Yi: "Why don't you ask the baron to borrow it?"

In the past, if the seeds were lost or damaged, they could be borrowed from the baron, and they could just pay them back with grain.

"We went and met the baron's steward."

"The butler said that the baron is sick and cannot be disturbed, let us wait."

Jin Yi felt a little strange, even if the baron was sick, how could he miss the plowing, if he didn't plow, he would starve to death.

Several village chiefs were a little afraid of him, so they dispersed after speaking.

Jin Yi snorted, knowing why they were afraid of him.

Besides him, there were other wandering traders who also took away the villagers. They were not as kind as he was, and they sold those people as slaves.

When he came for the second time, someone came to ask him where the people who had gone with him had gone, but the envoy told him that he could not tell, so he lied to them that he had gone to the next town, but he was misunderstood like other businessmen.

Misunderstanding is misunderstanding, they are willing to go with those businessmen themselves, so why blame others.

Look at the shacks behind them. In their Baishan Village, the livestock live better than this one.

Not even hygienic.

Jin Yi didn't pay attention and almost stepped on a lump.

Or their Baishan Village is better.

He is sincerely moved.

After entering the town, he first went to the bakery owner to buy food, but when he got to the door, he found that the door was closed and no one was there.

He went to ask the tailor next door. The tailor seemed to be worried about something, and shouted through the door: "I don't know!"

Jin Yi was resentful, and took Qingshi to the hotel first, planning to come back at dawn tomorrow.

When they arrived at the inn, they found that the innkeeper was not there, only two slaves came to help them move things.

In order to save money and safety, we all lived together in the Tongbu on the first floor.

Before going to bed, Qingshi came back from the outside, hesitantly said: "I think something is wrong."

After walking for a day, Jin Yi was tired and sleepy: "What's wrong?"

Qingshi couldn't speak again.

Jin Yi wiped his feet. Now he is used to washing his feet every night before going to bed. He still feels uncomfortable if he doesn't wash for a day: "You think too much, wash your feet and go to bed."

As a result, when they got up the next day, they waited all morning, but they didn't wait for the bakery owner.

The owner of the bakery lived in the bakery, and Jin Yi didn't know where to find him. He knocked on the door of the tailor's shop next door, but no one was there.

Now he also felt something was wrong.

Soon other people in the town found out too, and everyone went out to find the missing person.

"It must be those serfs!"

Someone said angrily: "They sneaked in and took people away."

"It's the devil, it must be the devil."

Someone was afraid and trembling.

Jin Yi was taken aback.

When everyone was uneasy, someone ran from the direction of the manor: "The baron is gone! They are all gone!"
