In the days of rebirth as a lord

"There is no church in my territory, so I just need to follow my rules. I said that a slave can also be a doctor, so that's fine. Of course, people who have opinions can not seek medical treatment from Fang Bo after they get sick. , go to other places to find a doctor from the church for treatment."

When Cecil said this, he didn't even look at Berwick, but Berwick felt a "thump" in his heart.Oops, he mentioned the church again before His Highness, which made His Highness unhappy!

Appointing a doctor in the territory is not a big deal at all. Cecil has made up his mind. Carona, who is the representative of the knights, and Conrad the steward, have no objections, so the matter is settled.

Then, Cecil asked Carona: "Carona came to see me, what's the matter?"

"Oh, it's not a big deal, I just saw the mud in the morning... Han slaves running around the village, I wonder what they are doing. If you have the strength, let them plow the ground or repair the road, it's not a waste of what they eat Those grains."

coming!

Cecil's face remained unchanged: "Oh, run? This is what I ordered. They are better than ordinary slaves, and being a serf is too wasteful. It's just about the snow season, and hungry beasts in the forest may break into the village , Let them be responsible for patrolling the edge of the village to resist the invasion of wild beasts."

Carona frowned: "Your Highness, slaves cannot become soldiers, I will not agree!"

"Soldiers? I didn't say they are soldiers now! They are only responsible for patrolling and defending against wild animals in the snow season. They will have other duties in spring. After all, there are only dozens of knights, and they have to guard the safety of the castle. If they are responsible for patrolling There is not enough manpower, anyway, there is not much farm work during the snow season, so letting them idle is also idle."

If you're not a soldier now, you won't necessarily be in the future.And what other duties will be arranged after the beginning of spring, Cecil does not intend to tell Carona.

This reason made Carona unable to express any objection. In addition, the Han witch doctor only saved two knights. If he did anything to suppress these Han people at this time, others would question his chivalry. .

"Your Highness is thoughtful." Carona could only say so.

After Carona was sent away, Pickle, the agricultural officer of Ott Village, came to the door again.

As soon as he came in, Pickle said courteously: "Did Your Highness rest well last night? Aote Village can't even compare to the worst street in the capital, and I really feel wronged Your Highness. It's also because I'm useless, I didn't do it for His Highness. Otto Village is well-managed and prosperous..."

After listening to the other party's nonsense patiently, Cecil finally got to the point.

"How's the situation in the village these years?"

Pickle immediately sighed with a bitter face: "Since the last owner of the previous baron's family fell ill and died, the freemen and serfs in the village have become lazier every year, eating more and working less, and slaves Escaping secretly... more and more abandoned land in the village. This year, nearly two-thirds of the arable land is vacant. In addition, wild animals often break into the village and destroy the crops. In recent years, the grain harvested is basically only enough to feed the village. People here, if His Highness doesn't come, I'm afraid there won't be enough grain to eat next year. Fortunately, His Highness is here now, and after the snow season is over, it will be the planting season, and those lazy people will not dare to be lazy anymore."

Well, before Cecil could ask, Pickle explained why the castle's granaries were empty.
