The Lord is Addicted in Infrastructure

In the open space outside the castle.

Taking advantage of the Lord Earl's arrival, the craftsmen gathered together to chat in twos and threes, with uncontrollable excitement and excitement on their faces, mixed with a little apprehension.

"I don't know what kind of drawing is the best according to the standard measured by the Earl? I have tried my best to draw it..."

"I don't have any hope for the position of the president of the craftsman's guild. After all, I am very clear about how much I have, but my workmanship is good. When I join the craftsman's guild, I can't count it as a bad job. Bar."

"Even if there is no hope, living in the Earl's territory is much better than living elsewhere."

"Yeah, fortunately I made up my mind to come here at that time, otherwise I will regret it in the future."

…………

They slowly began to talk about the benefits and changes since living in Fort Comoi.

Speaking of lower taxes, life is much easier.

We also talked about the upcoming summer conscription. Those who don’t want to be craftsmen at home can consider signing up for the army.

Difu couldn't help but look forward to it: "The soldiers patrolling the city every day are so majestic."

"One team is wearing black armor, and the other is wearing white armor. I heard that they are the Black Cavalry Army and the White Cavalry Army led by Lord Fernandi Edward and Lord Walker William respectively."

"Besides, I also heard from others that most of the soldiers who made up the Black Cavalry Army and the White Cavalry Army were actually slaves. Later, some soldiers in the two cavalry armies accumulated enough merits, so they successfully escaped. slavery..."

Conrad smiled as he listened to his youngest son.

Darren couldn't help but said, "We've been so busy these two months that we hardly even have time to sleep. When did you learn about these things?"

Difu muttered: "I'm not as busy as you, Dad and Big Brother. I haven't learned many things about engineering drawings, and I can't help much..."

"If you have free time, naturally ask more about the situation in this territory. To be honest, Lord Earl is really the best adult I have ever met!"

Conrad nodded in agreement, and sighed: "Praise the Earl for his kindness and tolerance to the Creator God."

They did not talk for long.

Xia Zuoyi came out from the castle.

He held a list written on parchment in his hand, and was carried into the high chair by Judit as usual.

The craftsmen involuntarily fell silent in the open space.

Judit said: "After six days of screening, we have selected the design with the best urban planning and layout, and will appoint the owner of this blueprint as the president of the craftsman's guild."

"But those who are not chosen need not be disappointed."

"We will divide the craftsman's guild into four levels: ordinary craftsman, junior assistant engineer, intermediate engineer, and senior engineer."

"Some people who draw blueprints and do good urban design will be awarded the title of engineer at one of the three levels of junior, intermediate, and advanced."

"Of course, each level distributes different money each month..."

Before the words were finished, someone below couldn't help but speak.

"Excuse me, my lord, do senior engineers get the most money?"

Udit nodded: "Of course it is."

"If you work hard enough, you will get credit for future construction and improve your own abilities... Your level will rise."

"Ordinary craftsmen are promoted to junior assistant engineers, junior to intermediate, intermediate to advanced."

"As for senior engineers, if they have enough credit, they will be rewarded and given a large bonus to encourage them. Junior and intermediate engineers will be given bonuses depending on the situation."

After saying this.

The mood of the craftsmen was completely ignited, excited and high.

I thought that the competition would be over just by electing a president, but I didn't expect that there would be a surprise.

Some people feel that it is impossible to become the president at all.

But getting the title of an engineer might be something to look forward to.

Judith calmed them down, and then said: "Now the Earl will announce the contents of the list."

The craftsmen could not help but hold their breath.

Conrad clenched his fists nervously.

Xia Zuoyi unfolded the parchment, cleared her throat, and read like an awards ceremony.

"There are seven junior assistant engineers, Benson Nutt and Chad...five intermediate engineers, Payne Ayer and Eugene...three senior engineers, Yin Lief Barna, Fagin Inriss, Paul Snart."

Conrad waited anxiously from the first word to hear if there was his name.

However, until the end of the last word, his name did not appear...

In an instant, a sense of loss and frustration gradually appeared on his face.

However, at this moment.

Conrad only heard the earl continue: "The candidate for the president of the Craftsman's Guild is Conrad Brown, and he has also won the title of Senior Engineer."

It was as if a huge surprise hit Conrad Brown's head suddenly, making him dizzy and dazed, and even his soul seemed to be floating in mid-air without a landing point.

He seemed to be dreaming.

A wonderful dream.

Darren and Deve were the first to react.

The two of them shook his body excitedly and stuttered while talking.

"Dad, Dad, you, you seem to have become the president?!"

"Dad! Tell me, is this true?!"

Div couldn't help covering his mouth, he almost screamed.

…………

After Xia Zuoyi stood on the chair and read out the list, she waited obediently with her little hands behind her back, giving the craftsmen a little time to react.

After a while.

He whispered to Judit quietly: "It turns out that this Conrad Brown was brought back from Nilamo by Taylor and Barna, what a coincidence."

After confirming the candidate for the chairman, Walker casually revealed what happened in Nilamori.

Conrad Brown was oppressed in the craftsman's guild in Neilamo, and his abilities and talents had no room to display at all, so he was invited by Taylor to come to Wissus.

Xia Zuoyi whispered disgustedly: "The lord of Nilamo is not very good, he acts like a follower, and the people below are also so bad, with bad morals."

If you can't keep talent, you deserve it.

Wait until the noise below gradually subsides.

Conrad clutched his chest and finally digested this huge surprise.

Xia Zuoyi said: "The Thorn Craftsman's Guild is the name of the guild that will be built in Fort Comoi."

"Ordinary craftsmen who haven't won the title of engineer don't need to be discouraged. The most important thing is to participate. Later, we will distribute encouragement awards to you, each with forty copper coins."

The ordinary craftsmen couldn't help but feel a lot less disappointed when they heard this.

Xia Zuoyi: "The president and the three-level engineers who just read their names come forward."

The following people came out one after another.

Conrad stood at the forefront under the arrangement of a knight, his heart beating violently.

Judith said: "My lord earl specially made a badge representing the identity of the engineer, and the pattern on it is also the logo of the Thorn Craftsman's Guild."

"Senior engineers have gold badges, mid-level engineers have silver badges, and junior assistant engineers have iron badges. You need to wear them on your chests at all times after entering the guild."

"It's a status and an honor."

The pattern of the logo of the Craftsman's Guild is - a circle of black thorns around the hammer and chisel.

Judith continued: "You will also be rewarded."

"Junior assistant engineers will each distribute two silver coins, mid-level engineers will each distribute ten silver coins, and senior engineers will each distribute three gold coins."

Compared with money, rewarded engineers now care more about badges that symbolize their status.

This is a high recognition of their abilities by the Earl!

They couldn't help their hearts were surging, they couldn't control their facial expressions, and many kinds of emotions kept churning in their chests.

——It’s really the right time to come here!

Ordinary craftsmen never expected that there would be badges.

At this time, I was extremely envious, secretly hating myself for being incapable and inferior to others.

Conrad stood quietly and waited silently, because he knew that it would be his turn in the end.

as predicted.

After all the badges of engineers were issued.

Judith walked up to Conrad himself, and said with a smile: "I shall call you President Brown from now on, please come before the Earl..."

Conrad's limbs swayed slightly stiffly, and he didn't know how he got to the Lord Earl, and even stammered to say hello.

Xia Zuoyi smiled.

He took out a gold and silver interlaced badge to wear on the collar of Conrad's chest, and said: "The reward for the president is ten gold coins, and you will get one for free in Fort Comoi." house and have the right to see me directly."

Darren and Div couldn't help covering their mouths tightly, so as not to lose face in front of the Earl and embarrass their father.

But they really couldn't help wanting too much wanton emotion, stomping their feet, ecstatic.

And others were even more uproarious.

Sure enough, the benefits of the president are even more enviable.

Today's announcement ended with Conrad's uncontrollable emotions ending in tears.

Soldiers sent them back to Fort Comoi.

Not to mention the fact that the Brown family was crying with joy and didn't sleep almost all night, the rest of the people were also full of thoughts, and their energy was mobilized like never before.

Plans for the rebuilding of Versas and Fort Comoi were carried out simultaneously with the construction of the castle.

Soldiers are responsible for mining and transporting black ore.

Under the call of sufficient wages, many civilians and slaves in the two cities also actively participated in the construction, forming a construction team led by ordinary craftsmen or engineers.

Xia Zuoyi calculated with the old accountant Nick and Gibran, and found that the funds were still sufficient, but the manpower was greatly insufficient!

If there is not enough manpower to participate, the future five-year construction plan will be extended to seven, nine, or even longer to complete...

How is this different from planning to be a bubble? !

"........."

Xia Zuoyi was silent for a long time, and sighed deeply: "Judit, it's time for us to go out and recruit (qiang) people."

Fort Comoi vacated such a large area, what a waste to keep, and the most correct use of land resources is the most correct!

Besides, Wissas is also a model of the city university with few people, and it is necessary to recruit another wave of people to settle down.

Judith calmly said: "Lord Earl, may I ask where do you prefer?"

He wants to go down and arrange as soon as possible.

Xia Zuoyi rested her chin and thought, "Except for the royal city of Kaes, other nearby cities should do their best to promote it, and Nilamo will focus on it."

"The location of the promotion this time also includes the neighboring country Gaila. Fernandi is not suitable to go there for the time being. Let Valker take someone there."

"Yes, Lord Count."

The author has something to say:

Xia Zuoyi: It's time to flex your muscles! (Second update~)
