Chapter 166

After that, Nord didn't talk to village head Joel much, so he went to the other two villages directly with village head Joel. Nord had forgotten about the saving grace of village head Joel.

It was not until he came to Bligh village again today that Nord remembered this thing. It turned out that there was a life-saving benefactor here. Maybe he just made an unintentional remark, but it did change Nord's fate.

As for the arrangement for village head Joel, the life-saving benefactor, Nord has thought well. Although he could not think of it at that time, Nord would become the master of the territory now, but he really saved Nord's life.

But Nord didn't take special care of him and promoted him directly. If he really had the ability, Nord would certainly let Hill scholars reuse him. If village head Joel didn't have the ability, Nord could ensure that he could live a prosperous life in peace for the rest of his life.

In the next half day, Nord and his party quickly invited the heads of the other two villages back, thanks to the help of village head Joel. If Nord and his party alone, I'm afraid it would take more effort.

With the help of village head Joel, even if the two village heads can't believe it when they hear the news, the addition of village head Joel is somewhat persuasive. Nord and hill scholars can see that village head Joel has great prestige in this area.

From leaving the city in the morning to returning at noon, Nord didn't spend much time. Things went better than Nord imagined. They didn't believe that in the hearts of the three village chiefs. After arriving at isaacburg, they all disappeared.

In fact, when they were on their way to isaacburg, they already believed Nord. If Nord and others were liars, they didn't dare to go in the direction of the castle, because it was undoubtedly a trap, but Nord and his party rushed to the castle with a calm look, which showed that Nord and others were not afraid.

But when they thought that they would not be ruled by the kreisen family in the future, their emotions were very difficult to calm. They didn't really accept the result until they came to the study in the main building of the castle.

Of course, the first thing to understand must be the village head of Joel, because he can get on with Nord and think of his future, Joel's heart makes waves again.

It's still in this study, but it's different from yesterday. During the time Nord left, abbot housekeeper has sent someone to clean up the study, which is not new, but Nord's feeling is really very different from before. At least now Nord can't smell the blood in the study.

Of course, the overall layout will have to wait a few days, but it is estimated that the renovation of the castle will not be completed before Nord leaves isaacburg. It seems that the plan can not keep up with the changes. Abbot's housekeeper estimates that he will stay in the castle for a long time.

Nord sat at his desk and looked at the hill scholar and the three village chiefs opposite. He gently raised his right hand to indicate that hill scholar can start talking. The work is still arranged by Hill scholar. Nord just listened. If there is anything missing, Nord will choose to add.

Scholar Hill cleared his throat, looked at the three village chiefs around him, and said with a calm expression:

"Viscount Nord may not have time to meet you again in the future, so I will be responsible for the daily work. If you have any questions in the future, you can directly ask me. My office is in the market outside the castle. I can familiarize you later."

Hill scholar's words paused, his eyes showed a thoughtful look, as if he was sorting out his thoughts in his mind, and then he explained the next work tasks to the three village heads in an orderly manner.

"First of all, the first thing is that the census will be carried out in a few days. I will register every villager in your village. At that time, I will take someone personally. You just need to cooperate with my work."

Not only isaacburg, but also Tami village will conduct a census for some time. Although Nord can see the total number of villages from the construction panel of the territory, he still knows nothing about their specific situation.

Nord has long wanted to have a population census, because in this way, Nord can better explore and cultivate talents and lay a foundation for more convenient management in the future. Although the system is being upgraded, Nord estimates that with its urine, Nord will not provide such convenient services to Nord.

Moreover, there were two other conditions limiting Nord before. The first is the shortage of talents. The problem of talents has not been solved yet, but now it can meet the conditions of the census.

Nord plans to hand over the census of Tami village to reed. He first learns from hill scholars and then practices in Tami village. Nord believes that reed's ability will be excellent.

Another is the problem of paper. Not long ago, the papermaking workshop in Tami village has started, and the papermaking technology is not so difficult. In fact, the most difficult thing to think about is how to turn wood into paper. Nord admired the excellent imagination of the ancients and was able to come up with such a great invention.

However, Nord didn't have to take so much trouble. He directly used the technology. Nord also looked at the paper in the previous paper workshop. Although the quality is not good, the color is yellow, and the feel is rough, which is far from snow-white and delicate, it has been used enough for Nord, and then let the master of the paper workshop improve the process.

So now everything is ready. In other words, the first place to use paper is the school managed by Hill scholars. With paper, Hill scholars' teaching and students' learning become simpler.

Nord has discussed this issue with hill scholar before. He also agreed to conduct a census in isaacburg, because he can just have a comprehensive understanding of the newly acquired territory and strengthen the control of the territory. Now the territory is large, and the census is imperative.

"You three first report the approximate number of people in each village. I'll arrange the time then. Let's start with village head Joel."

Hill scholar plans to conduct a census in the shack area first. Now the number of people in the shack area is not so many. It can be counted in a few days, not to mention that reed has come to help him with the students of Tami village school today, which makes Hill scholar feel very gratified.

Although Hill scholars do not agree with these students who have just entered school and immediately set foot on the job, they are still children. They should continue to stay in school to learn knowledge, rather than bear the pressure of work too early. The oldest of them is only 13 years old and the youngest is only 8 years old, but Nord can't help the children of the poor to take charge of the family early.

However, these jobs are not manual labor. They just let them use their knowledge to help Hill scholars file and deal with some things within their ability. This is also the reason why Hill scholars compromise with Nord.
