Chapter 11 Remodeling Housing

In fact, for the Earl of the Plain, one thousand kilograms of grain is not too much. He owns the entire Wolfe Plain and can produce about four to five hundred tons of grain every year. More than 100 tons have been handed over, and in fact there are still dozens of tons left over each year.It's not hybrid rice, don't think about one mu and one thousand catties!

These grains are often accumulated year after year, and sometimes they will become moldy because they are not replaced in time, so in total, there are at least nearly a thousand tons of grain stored in the castle.

However, it seems that because the Christian family has always been vigilant against the imperial capital and the Holy See, the Christian family has always been very low-key and did not show off their wealth. All the food was donated.

Therefore, the Christian family, which has been in a corner for a long time, is considered comfortable, but this time the Earl of Pingyuan has two sons, and the eldest son will naturally inherit the title, but the second son must find another way out, so he planned to let Jackett go The imperial capital is loyal to the emperor, and he will never worry about winning the title of knight for the rest of his life.

Of course, he is actually more optimistic about this daughter in front of him. He knows that Angel is very smart and has shown different views since childhood, but what makes him regret is because Angel is a girl. After all, she will marry sooner or later!The so-called married daughter is the water poured out, so he doesn't expect Angel's real deeds, he only hopes that she can grow up happily.

Seeing that his father still didn't speak, Angel frowned and said, "No, don't we even have [-] kilograms of grain to spare?"

"Tell me what do you want these grains for?" said Earl Pingyuan.

Angel said: "Of course it's my business, just watch it, it must be a good deal!"

The price of grain is actually not high. Five hundred kilograms of grain can be easily obtained for a small baron, not to mention the earl of Pingyuan who is in charge of a grain depot. He sighed and said, "You don't want to go Porridge, shall we?"

Angel chuckled and said, "It's almost the same as that!"

"Forget it, let the housekeeper give you [-] old deposits and distribute them tomorrow, so as not to ruin them!" Although Earl Pingyuan looks very shrewd, he was born into a wealthy family after all, and he still doesn't have much sympathy for the untouchables. During the holidays, we will open warehouses to release some food.In this way, for the current system, he can be regarded as a wise and benevolent monarch!

It is hard to imagine how miserable the lives of civilians and serfs in this world are. In fact, at the beginning of the [-]th century, Tsarist Russia still maintained serfdom under the militaristic system, and many peasants lived a miserable life. Otherwise, Lenin would not have reacted it!

Angel immediately made a "yeah" gesture when she heard the words, and cheered. Now her first step in transforming the city has been completed.

For the nobles, perhaps those precious stones, gold, and silver are much more expensive than the food that occupies a large area, but for the serfs under the current system, food is the only meaning for their survival.

Every year, their harvest will be taken away by the earl, leaving them with enough food for them to eat. When they are hungry and cold, the earl will also give them a little supplement, so that they will not starve to death, let alone because of Hunger and rebel.

Most people in that era were ignorant, because no one had enlightened the wisdom of the people. Only after enlightening the wisdom of the people, people would gradually say goodbye to ignorance. Of course, they would be more willing to rebel for their own benefit!

The next day, Angel called the servants to pull a cart of grain out of the castle. She was protected by several guards and walked all the way to the gate of the city. Most of these people were serfs, poor and emaciated.

"Stop!" Angel called the attendants to park the car in front of a serf's shack.The place where these serfs live is not even a house. It is just a house built with some planks and branches, and the head is covered with thick straw to prevent rain. blow in.

There will be no snow on the Wolf Plain, but the temperature will still drop to only a few degrees in winter. At that time of year, some old, weak, sick and disabled will freeze to death, which can be said to be very pitiful.

As a modern person, Angel doesn't want to see such a poor person, because she feels that she is powerless to change, and she doesn't want to bother to change, but the education of Brandon scholars made her try to do something meaningful.

Maybe I can't change the world, but I can change the living environment of some people, even if these people are just one or two people, at least I help them!

Angel's mentality has become much brighter. Maybe after five years in this world, she has finally accepted the reality and started to adapt to it!

In fact, change is mutual. If you are unable to change the society, you can only change yourself; if you have the ability to change others, then you may one day change some aspects of this society.

"You!" Angel pointed to the humble people not far away and said, "Come here!"

People looked at her with fear. She was the youngest child of the earl and the most favored daughter of the earl who was known as a child prodigy. People dared not approach her for fear of hurting her or being punished by her for no reason.

Fortunately, Angel didn't have a bad reputation. After all, she seldom went out, so people just looked at her and didn't dare to approach her, but they were full of curiosity.

Angel yelled again: "You guys, come here!" Her tone was very tough this time, full of aristocratic style.

Only then did the people tremblingly take a few steps forward, kneeling in front of Angel in fear: "Please calm down, Miss Angel!"

How cheap!Angel almost rolled his eyes angrily, if you don't listen to Nima's words, I must be fierce!She was thinking weakly, but at the same time she was helpless, this world is so perverted, seeing these people, she couldn't help but jump to another level of thinking: finally know how the ancients lived!

Angel himself calmed down and said, "You guys, do you want these grains?"

People immediately shook their heads: "Don't dare, dare not!"

Don't dare, you still follow, looking at them like loyal dogs?Angel complained again in his heart, and then said: "These grains are actually for you, but this lady will not reward you for nothing, this lady needs a group of people to work for me, and you can come to help after you finish the farm work , help me for a long time, and I will provide free meals!" She said, patting the grain on the carriage and saying: "These meals are for the full, so use these grains!"

Do you do farm work every day? In fact, as long as the serfs take good care of the crops every day, there is nothing wrong with weeding and loosening the soil properly. It is just a little more troublesome to water every few days.Most of the time they will have other jobs, such as women weaving, while men will find ways to hunt game or chop wood or something.

At this time, people were naturally moved when they heard this. After all, there are only a handful of people who can manage enough meals a year in their long-term lives. Besides, this is the local "Princess" Her Highness, so what she says must mean what she says. Now they look at each other, But no one dared to answer.

Alas, these people are really masochistic!Angel directly raised his brows and sighed, then pointed at two of the middle-aged men and said: "You two, you will be foremen in the future, do things for me, and the carpenter will bring things over in a while, you are divided into two groups, one One person handles the morning work, and another group handles the afternoon work!"

"Yes, yes!" The two serfs immediately kowtowed in response.

So, soon, a group of more than 20 serf laborers were summoned by Angel to start work!There are a total of more than 40 people in the morning and afternoon classes.

Angel first asked them to set up a pot on the side of the road, then summoned people to cook, and then sent his attendants to catch a few fish for the fish soup.Angel watched these people staring at the pot and swallowing their saliva and shook his head secretly, then sent a few serfs to get some vegetables and put them in the pot.

For one meal, a group of serfs each poured a spoonful of fish soup on a bowl of plain rice and started to eat it deliciously.

After finally eating and drinking enough, Angel ordered to open. Her first order was to say that the serf's dormitory was demolished, which made all the serfs terrified, and some even kowtowed for forgiveness. Angel was too lazy to talk to these people. It makes sense, and he said directly: "I have my own reasons!"

It turned out that after Angel demolished the thatched hut, he had people dig mud and mix it with straw and start building the wall!Angel lived in the Northwest when she was a child. At that time, when people were poor, they could not afford bricks. People lived in earthen houses surrounded by earthen walls, so she had a good impression of rammed earth houses.And it can also be seen in historical films that when the early colonists went to North America, they also relied on rammed earth to build houses to resist the cold winter, but they added another layer of firewood on the outside of the rammed earth.

What Angel has to do is to renovate the houses of these serfs, but she is made of wood planks and earth. This kind of rammed earth is extremely strong. If it is properly repaired, it will be no problem to live in it for more than ten years. It shouldn't be a problem for four years, which is much stronger and warmer than these huts.

Angel's design is basically built according to the Northwest standard of two bedrooms and one living room, with a living room in the middle and bedrooms on both sides.A simple shack was built outside as a kitchen. The walls of the house were rammed earth and wooden boards, and the roof was made of wood beams, and some idle serfs were asked to spread hay mats on it.Then add hay and soil, and a mud house is built.

After the first earthen house was built, the serfs finally understood what Angel was doing. She was doing it for their own benefit, so the serfs cheered and knelt in front of Angel when the construction was completed: "Miss Angel, you will Like the bright moon in the sky, pure and kind, please accept our piety!" The serfs said, crossing their arms and bowing to Angel like a pilgrimage.

At that moment, Angel's heart was pounding. It turned out that it's not bad to be worshiped as a goddess in this world!She finally felt that there was something about this world that attracted her, that is, it could make her feel taller in an instant, and she felt like a queen.

She smiled and said: "This is just the beginning, I expect each of you to live in such a house, so I will remodel the houses of all the serfs here!"

"Long live Miss Angel!" People cheered, maybe people are only grateful for the meager charity of the nobles!
