Chapter 40

Just out of the gate of the manor, reed, who was already impatient, began to report his work achievements to Nord in the past ten days.

"Lord Nord, I have planted more than 100 mu of yam in the west of the village for more than ten days. Now there is a large mountain area, all of which are our yam fields."

Nord was really surprised when he looked at reed as if you were praising me. He didn't arrange many people with reed. The labor force in the village was basically dominated. Adult men either joined the guard or built a manor on the construction site, and women went to the nearby mountain forest to dig yams every day, Especially after Nord bought yam at the price of two copper shells per kilogram, the women in the village went into the mountain to dig yam from morning to night, so reed didn't have many people at all.

Nord originally planned to ask Reid to do some preparatory work, buy some yams collected by the villagers, and then pour some water on these yams to make them germinate. As for planting, Nord didn't report much hope. After all, Reid's labor force was too small. Nord originally planned to wait until the manor was built, and then let the villagers plant them. Unexpectedly, Reid, who is a total jerk, has done so well.

"How did you do it? I really underestimated you."

"Hey, Lord Nord, it's nothing. Just a while ago, many yams sprouted, and I couldn't contact you. I was so anxious that I almost jumped to the roof. What if no one came to help me? I asked my father, but he didn't help me. He also said it was my own business and I had to find a way to solve it myself."

"On my way back, I just saw half the children in the village running crazy on the road, so I thought of a good idea. Guess what?"

"Did you find the minor children in the village?"

Nord Zou raised his eyebrows. Influenced by the previous life, Nord has never regarded the minors in the village as labor force, but it is different from the previous life. Children are not the flowers of the motherland. Teenagers have to help their mother do housework and farm work. Let alone here, it is a mountainous area with underdeveloped economy in the previous life, Poor children are early masters.

"I promise in the name of the herald that they can be soldiers under me when they grow up, plus a reward of bread every day, so I coax them over. Lord Nord, you don't know how much these children want to join your guard. They play the game of playing the guard and run around the village every day."

Nord sighed. There was nothing he could do. Originally, Nord planned to let Abbot housekeeper recruit some teenagers to teach them written knowledge and cultivate talents slowly from an early age.

Colin is basically the only literate family in the village, which is due to Colin's early life as a mercenary. The head of the mercenary regiment, who came from an aristocratic background, taught Colin some words, which Colin cherished and passed on these knowledge to Lehman and Reid.

"Since you have organized these children in the village, they will be under your control in the future. You will recruit all children over the age of 10. After a while, I will ask Abbot to teach them knowledge. As for planting yams, I will leave it to the idle villagers."

"OK, Lord Nord, I have the children. Can I go to the mountain forest with you next?"

"Didn't you say that you should be responsible for recruiting those children, and planting yams should also be your responsibility. Go into the mountain... Forget it, you will be very busy next. I also want you to go with me. After all, you are my Herald, but you don't have time."

"Ah? I still have to do these things. I've done so well, can't you reward me for going into the mountain?"

"I really should reward you, but I really can't take you into the mountain. Er... I think these children you recruit should have an official name, so... Let's call them the young pioneers. Reed, I now appoint you as the captain of the young pioneers. You should be a mature and steady Captain like your brother Rayman."

Hearing that he could not enter the mountain, reed felt a little aggrieved, but after he was appointed by Nord as the captain of the young pioneers, reed smiled again. Although he could not enter the mountain, at least he was promoted. The name of the captain of the young pioneers was very powerful. Reed liked this position very much.

"Yes! Lord Nord, promise to finish the task!"

At last, reed was bluffed. There were too few people to use. Reed could only stay to look after the scene and arrange the affairs in the village. Nord took reed back to Colin's yard and just met Molly who came out of the wooden house.

"Lord Nord, you're back. Are you going to see those wild boars? The pigs have grown up a lot these days."

As soon as Molly reminded Nord, she remembered that she had caught a wild boar and walked in Colin's backyard and gave it to Molly to feed. Now she doesn't know what to do. After all, it is related to her future pig raising plan, so Nord wants to go and have a look. Under Molly's leadership, Nord came to the backyard.

The pigsty uses a relatively thick fence to prevent the female wild boar from escaping. To Nord's surprise, the att brothers and sisters are standing in front of the pigsty and talking.

"Big Boar, come here! I'm not afraid of you."

Then art threw the yam in his hand at the sow. The hit sow didn't respond much. I don't know whether she thought the two little guys were not threatening or the lazy nature of the pig. The sow arched her head, ate the yam in her mouth, and continued to close her eyes.

When the att brothers and sisters heard the news behind them, they saw that Nord had not come back for a long time. They just met the wild boar who bullied him, and immediately hid behind Molly.

Nord is speechless. Is he so scary? Normally, his appearance is relatively beautiful, with black hair and black eyes, and the facial lines are relatively soft. Why is it that every time art sees himself like a ghost? Nord smiles bitterly and ignores this problem.

When he came to the front of the pigsty, the pigsty was divided into three rooms, each with a sow and eight or nine piglets. Nord mainly observed the piglets. These piglets were around the sows. When he caught them, he was a big circle and adapted to the life of being kept in captivity. Seeing that the piglets were growing so well, Nord was relieved.

Turning to Molly

"You've raised these wild boars well. It's hard for you. I'll ask Abbot to give you some money later. You can also ask reed for yams for pigs. You don't have to dig in the mountain forest."

"Thank you, Lord Nord. I don't work hard. I feel honored to help you."

After a brief talk with Molly about Lehman, Nord went upstairs to have a rest. He didn't have a good rest every day for more than half a month. He just came back today, so he stayed here and had a good rest for one night. He will go to the boar cave stronghold tomorrow and prepare to start again.
