The princesses all come to help me move the bricks [Infrastructure]

46.

"You are a princess?!"

One of the dwarves looked at her in shock. He was wearing a yellow scarf around his neck, but because of too much dust and dirt, it looked a little dirty and not like the original bright yellow.

"what!"

"Princess! No, it's the Grand Duchess!"

"The lord of Oran is the Duke..."

"It's Princess Anastasia!"

Several dwarves stood up, whispered to each other, and then stared at Anna to observe.

Anna was a little stunned by their reactions, and couldn't continue what she planned to say.

The "false princess" Anna began to feel guilty, but she felt that she was still very good as a lord and grand duke.

Although she may not be a good princess in the traditional sense, she should still be considered a good lord, and she did not pursue to be a good princess in the sense of a fairy tale, which would be more restrictive for her.

Just like Anna may never be able to sing like a princess and make small animals addicted to singing, nor can she dance very well, although she is confident, she also has self-knowledge.

And in the fairy tale world, these skills are almost standard for princesses, not to mention their fascination and love for princes, although it is not clear what kind of love brain similar to her Cinderella looks like.

Even Alisa, who once married a king by default, made a choice and decision between the family affection of her father and brother and the love for the king. She also has her own thinking and understanding, and has always been one of Anna's boudoir friends. One, up to now, I have maintained the angle of supporting my friends.

Of course, being able to be the best version of yourself in different fields is enough.

Especially in the lord's career she is looking forward to, she will use her spirit of making money and spending money in her previous life, and work hard to do it well.

"actually……"

"She's not bad either."

"Looks good! Look at that beautiful blond hair, like wheat waves."

"Yes, yes, the eyes are also very good-looking, but the force value is too high, so fierce, she doesn't look like a gentle princess..."

"Please, she is the female lord!"

"That's true, but she just arrested us..."

"That's because we also captured her subordinates... In this way, she is still a good princess who loves her subordinates..."

It was evident that the Dwarfs were not all in agreement.

Anna and the others glanced at each other, but Petty and the others were a little nervous, especially when they heard something about Anna's flaws, they were more excited than Anna herself. I will be relieved, and if there is a compliment, I will nod in approval, but I am too devoted.

Anna glanced at the dwarf who was "discussing" without much control of the volume, then at the subordinates who were listening very carefully, and decided to keep silent.

She was also a little curious about what kind of evaluation these dwarves would give in the end, because according to fairy tales, the best princess in their eyes should be Snow White, and Anna was just Snow White's sister.

After a while, the dwarfs finally negotiated a result that was not considered a result.

"We decided to investigate again." The biggest dwarf in the red scarf said.

"Yes, we want to take a look at your territory." The description of the dwarf in the blue scarf is the most sophisticated dwarf, while the orange dwarf is the one who reads the most.

"I'm sorry for exploiting your mine without permission." Not every dwarf seemed to agree with the words of the cyan dwarf, but the other brothers did not refute him.

They are used to mining everywhere, and some places are indeed unowned land, but like Anna's territory, Oran belongs to her, and the natural mine should also belong to him.

"But you have already dug..." Petty answered on the sidelines, "This is wrong."

"We can make up for our mistakes with labor." The yellow dwarf retorted unhappily, "We have the best mining skills in the whole continent, as long as we have seven brothers."

"Yes, that's right."

"exactly."

"No race knows how to mine better than we dwarves."

"And our seven brothers are the best! The best dwarfs!"

"Brother, we must dedicate the jewel to the best and most beautiful princess, so that we will be the first among the dwarves..."

"Shut up, idiot!"

As they talked, the dwarfs saw that they were about to quarrel again. Anna looked at the sky and invited the seven dwarves to go back to the territory together.

Anna first told them the preferential welfare policy and compensation for the four subordinates, and then they will join the labor as the human part of the mining farm and get paid 20 copper coins a day. If they can become worker leaders, Remuneration will continue to increase.

Then she said to the seven dwarfs:

"I agree with your ideas, and I am very glad that you are willing to work in exchange for remuneration and make up for mistakes. I can not hold you accountable for the harm you did to my subordinates before, and I also have the responsibility of digging my mine without permission, but you need to support me. Work."

Anna's reward for the seven dwarfs had to be reconsidered.

Objectively speaking, according to their labor ability, their daily salary must be higher than that of other human workers, but if the difference is too large, it is easy to arouse racial conflicts, especially when there are a few humans listening secretly, It is also unlikely that her future mine will only have seven dwarves as workers, although they are the best.

In addition, they have some other problems, such as the mistakes they made before, and they have to arrange new residences for seven of them, and according to their poor housekeeping and hygiene standards, she may have to arrange servants for them every day, Whether it's doing the laundry or cooking.

After returning, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

The worst that Cinderella and Judy feared did not happen, and all four workers came back intact, and after Anna talked about the relevant rewards, they were all happy.

Everyone seemed content, and nothing disturbing or unfortunate happened.

After appeasing everyone, Anna finally returned to the Lord's Mansion.

She asked Catherine to prepare new clothes for the seven dwarfs, rearranged the bathing and lodging rooms, and re-served hot food for her and the seven dwarfs.

Thanks to the gradual improvement of the Lord's Mansion during this period and the two new tailors who just arrived a few days ago, there are two tailor shops in their territory, and they are still partly controlled by the Lord's Mansion, similar to the shops supported by the Lord's investment one.

At present, almost all the shops in the territory are of a similar nature, including a cousin of "Propaganda" Jack, who also contracted a shop in the territory to sell some daily necessities, including various sundries. He was doing business in the second district, and he came back after listening to Jack's persuasion.

Now there are a grocery store, an iron shop, an old York tavern, a tailor shop and a handmade custom clothing shop opened by two tailors, four handicraft workshops selling different foods, and a small rattan and bamboo weaving shop in the territory.

In addition, the opening of the market for the first time is also good, with a high degree of participation, and relatively speaking, it is already very lively.

According to the current growth rate of population and labor force, Anna estimated that by the end of the month, her District [-] could really have a population of about [-], which is equivalent to a District [-], and the quality of her population is better than expected. Without defensive shields and sufficient supplies of medicinal materials, many people have been pulled back from the dangerous state, and Anna has also dispelled and healed some people.

The proportion of the old, the weak, the sick, and the disabled is decreasing, and the young and middle-aged labor force is gradually becoming the majority, which shows that her territory is very healthy, and it is a good place that is full of vigor and is on the rise.

In this way, although requests are relatively rare, Catherine, a proper and excellent housekeeper, quickly gathered what she needed.

According to the request that the seven dwarfs must live together, even if they sleep on the floor, she asked someone to add an extra bed in one of the larger guest rooms. They are not big, and they can sleep four in one big bed. The other bed sleeps three, and all other daily necessities are prepared for seven people.

However, she was still a little annoyed.

"I should have prepared more carefully." Anna heard Catherine whispering to Cinderella over there.

"It's quite convenient to prepare seven sets of children's tableware in the kitchen, as well as food, but I haven't thought through other aspects of life..."

"You are already excellent." Cinderella comforted her.

"No one expected such a special guest to arrive, and it was rather sudden."

Just now, Catherine specially sent someone to search outside for a long time, and then went to the tailor's shop specially, and asked people to rush to make seven sets of clothes with seven different marks on them, so that they could be regarded as ready for them.

In just over an hour of meal time, she prepared all these, which was really not easy.

"You're right," Catherine said.

"I should have thought that our lord will receive more intelligent creatures of different races in the future..."

"Our territory is not as impoverished as it was at the beginning, objectively speaking, the Lord's Mansion has already made some revenue. Although the public farmland is not our Lord's Mansion, but by arranging other 'extra money', the Lord's Mansion is currently barely able to Make ends meet.”

Once the small alchemy props made by Anna are sold, half of them will belong to her, and the other half will be distributed to the lord's mansion, because Catherine and other arrangers are selling and handling them, including some goods that come in from the second district. Compared with the distribution of income, in addition to the principal, the rest will also be included in the ledger of the Lord's Mansion.

"Then I should work hard to provide better service and more comprehensive preparations, not just fulfilling the lord's request..."

An excellent housekeeper should know how to manage the family property for the master, be as thorough as possible, remain loyal and make profits for the master.

Seeing that Catherine had started talking, Cinderella stopped forcing her to speak.

"Next time I should consider more guests, prepare properly in advance, and try not to let these stocks go to waste..."

On the contrary, Anna was a little embarrassed. She should have sent someone in advance, or a stinky bird like Nightingale, who had just broken the ice with the little oriole and showed off in front of her, to send a message to Catherine, so that she would not be so hasty in preparing.

Fortunately, everything was resolved because of Catherine's excellence.

In less than two days, things were finalized.

The dwarves didn't tell her whether Anna was a good princess in their eyes, but it seemed that they liked the territory of Oran very much.

It's the only place where they don't feel hugely discriminated against.

Although the people here would look at them curiously, most of them were not malicious.

Then, the seven dwarves also knew that the clerk's assistant in the lord's mansion here is a rabbit lady named Judy. Among their brothers, only the dwarf with the orange scarf who can read the most can read her universal beast. language name.

This surprised Ms. Rabbit, and Judy did not expect that besides the wise and great Lord Anna, there would be other people or beings of other races in the territory who would read her name. This is a very different kind of pleasure.

Among the seven dwarfs, only the second child will always call her with a long and strange animal language name that sounds respectful, and because of this, Judy has a very good impression of the seven dwarfs, although his other The brothers have no talent for reading and learning, and they can't read at all.

In addition, the seven dwarfs also know that there is a majestic lion patrol officer in the territory.

The citizens respected and even feared characters with any such powers and were very powerful. Although they knew that most of the patrol officers had a good temper, after they dealt with several incidents vigorously and vigorously, from the text After Wuta suppressed the wrongdoer very convincingly, everyone was even more in awe.

In this way, because of the patrols during this period, everyone's acceptance of other races has gradually increased. In addition, there is also the attitude of the lord here. In addition, she also issued a policy before to let everyone not go to the woods to disturb animals. Kingdom life hibernates and more...

Their attitude towards the dwarves, apart from the initial curiosity, became ordinary afterwards.

So, soon, the dwarf also began to try to buy wine in the tavern of Old York, and got the same treatment, and gradually integrated into the life of the people.

In the blink of an eye, the second fair opens on the 16th.

Anna also participated in it this time, but this time she didn't come to speak, but to visit the market.

She held Maria with her left hand, Emma with her right hand, Catherine followed behind, and Cinderella walked a little beside her.

Several people were walking around the market together. Everyone was very enthusiastic about the lord and his family and friends. They were also familiar with Cinderella, the secretary. After all, they had done a census for them and were responsible for arranging recruitment and other things at that time. .

The things sold in the morning market should be newer, and there will be more vegetables and fruits.

Anna clearly saw that because of the temperature-controlling alchemy props she sold, many outstanding farmers in the territory grew many vegetables of very good appearance and high quality, and the varieties were also higher than expected. need more.

In terms of this alone, it is better than the situation of a cart of vegetables that are not very fresh after a long time in the second district next door.

In the past, everyone had the habit of buying a little more for storage, but now... there are temperature-controlling things, and you can grow them yourself, and the supplies are extremely rich.

While shopping, Anna asked people to buy things that the two children were interested in, including some small toys.

Amy is still a little shy and reserved, and she is not willing to ask for anything, but Maria will handle these things well, calm down the mentality of her little friend, and then let her and herself get some new gifts together.

Not long after, they saw Stephanie the Little Red Riding Hood, her mother Stephanie the Big, and her grandmother the old Stephanie going out to the market together.

Then, the three little girls held each other's little hands and played together. After a while, they became familiar with each other.

After today's market, Anna and the others are about to go back to Wangcheng, but fortunately, other things have already been arranged.

Anna glanced at the task list and felt a full and abundant satisfaction.

……

Anna took a special fruit juice sold by their family from a citizen. Although it might be a little too much water for her, it happened that she was a little thirsty.

It can be seen that the current development of the Territory [-] is still concentrated on industry, agriculture and animal husbandry. The animal husbandry conditions here are good, but they are not particularly good, just as the agriculture here also depends on some magic potions to ensure improvement The fertility of the land is the same, but these are not difficult for her.

As for the planting industry, such as the development of orchards, there are trees nearby. It should be relatively easy to find out the type of fruit trees to plant.

But because of the special nature of fruit trees, it may be relatively troublesome to use alchemy props to deal with them. In addition, she is leaving for the time being, and it is unrealistic for people to plant trees in winter, so Anna temporarily didn't move.

It is because the mining side is going well, and the quarry side is also the same. The stone processing plant may have to wait until the end of the month to be built. In winter, it is not convenient for the smelter to start construction. in the warehouse.

She has arranged for repair work and long holidays belonging to the territory from the end of December to the middle and late January. This period is also the coldest time and it is not suitable for labor.

Maybe after they come back, which is almost exactly the end of January, construction will start here and arrangements will be made to start road construction.

Cinderella euphemistically stated that she didn't want to go home, she could stay here to help manage the territory, supervise the last bit of work by the way, and pay the wages to the construction team workers at that time.

She only asked them to bring them presents and her greetings if they could pass by Württemberg's house—

To put it bluntly, Cinderella is no longer the silly girl she used to be.

She doesn't care about them at all, and she doesn't plan to go back. They don't need to think about it, just keep a little face.
