Chapter 69

The mountain camp at noon is always cold. Most of the leading people work outside under the leadership of the villagers' group leader. They will not return to the camp until dinner.

The canteen, which can accommodate hundreds of people, is also deserted. Only about 30 leading people enjoy free lunch here. They are members of the second villagers' group who take turns off.

"Why is it sweet potato again?"

A middle-aged leader looked at two steaming baked sweet potatoes in the food basin and frowned. Although the sweet potatoes tasted OK, they would not only be greasy, but also have a lot of farts every day.

"There is not much flour in the camp. If you want black bread, go to the small canteen."

The canteen cook threw a piece of roasted oily wild boar meat into the Lingmin's food basin and said darkly that he was a serious worker and was always very rude to those who could only eat in the canteen.

"The meat is well roasted. It's charred outside and tender inside. Your skill is almost as good as that of the chef in the small canteen."

He was robbed by the cook. Instead of getting angry, the leader flattered the cook, because he knew very well that if he offended the canteen cook, it would be difficult to eat a piece of good meat in the back.

"You have insight. It's someone who has been a team leader."

The cook glanced up at the leader. This is the posture of the chef in the small canteen. Lord Victor said that a good cook can be called a cook, and a good cook can be called a chef. Like a painter, a chef is a master. Since then, the cooks in the camp, regardless of their skills, began to look at people with their nostrils.

Hearing the cook's words, the middle-aged Lingmin was obviously stiff. Then he took his food basin as if nothing had happened, found a position and sat down alone.

"Oh, I forgot. This is the purple cane wine that the team leader rewarded me last time. Come on, come on, everyone try it."

A young man shouted, and his side was filled with other leaders of group two.

"Little Robert, I heard that you have been recommended by the team leader to join the work point system. Now I'll wait for Mrs. Lilia's approval." A villager drank a mouthful of purple cane wine and said with great envy.

"Hehe, as long as everyone works hard, everyone has a chance." Little Robert spoke modestly, but there was no doubt about his complacency.

"Robert, can you tell me what the point system really means?"

It was wood who asked. Compared with the his son who only knew how to eat, wood was curious about everything in hill camp.

Wood and his son were promoted by the second group leader to lead the people and naturally became members of the second group. As a latecomer, wood didn't know much about the work point system. He only knew that it was extremely difficult to join the work point system.

"Hehe, the work point system is to change work points. As for the use of work points... That's great!"

Robert paused for a while. He still had a sense of superiority for the latecomer who was much older than him, but Robert would not forget that the team leader asked him to win over these ordinary team members.

"Do you know why the team leader and those old team members never eat in the big canteen? I tell you, they all eat in the small canteen!"

"Do you know the canteen? No? It doesn't matter. You just know that the food in the canteen can't even be eaten by ordinary nobles!"

"If you want to eat in the small canteen, you must have work points!"

"See those beautiful wooden houses in the camp? If you want to live in it, you must have a salary!"

"Do you know what the bathroom is? Don't look at me, I don't know, but if you want to go in, you must have a job score!"

"A work point can also be changed into a copper sol. Only fools can change it."

Looking at the envious villagers around, Robert took a sip of purple cane wine, smiled faintly and spit out the last sentence.

"Work points can be exchanged for land! And it's a fief!"

As like as two peas, the pig's bones fell into the wooden bowl, which fell out of the mouth of Pao.

The other villagers laughed. They were very familiar with this scene.

Wood thought he had heard wrong. It was a fief! Land that requires a family to serve the Lord for three generations. Once they get a fief, it means that they become feudal ministers and step into the upper society! This is the goal of all leaders.

Wood once thought that if he worked hard and his son worked hard, and had another hard-working grandson, maybe his great grandson could become a vassal, but he couldn't see it. It is precisely because of this that many leading people's families miss the feudal ministers. I work so hard. What if my grandson is lazy? Any family may have several unworthy descendants.

Wood wanted to speak, but his voice seemed stuck. He couldn't pronounce a clear syllable for a long time. He grabbed a glass of water and poured it into his mouth. He followed his voice and was about to speak. A familiar voice asked him a question.

"How can we join the work point system?" It's just Paul's voice.

Good boy! And I think of a piece! Wood looked at his young and tender eater son and his burning eyes with relief. Wood secretly determined that no matter how difficult it was to join the work point system, he would go all out!

"It's hard to join the work point system now! It's very difficult! First of all, you must have the status of leading the people. Second, you must work very hard and be one of the best in the group. Third, you need the recommendation of the leader's master and the approval of Mrs. Lilia. The leader can only recommend one person a month. Hey, hey, don't think that you can get the recommendation by flattering the leader's master. Mrs. Lilia can't It's staring at the leader's every move. So, if you want to make a wrong idea, save it. I was recommended by the leader, but you say, "how's my work?"

"Well done, I'm not as good as you." A villager nodded.

Wood also agreed. Although Robert often flattered the leader, he was diligent and meticulous when working, which can be said to be meticulous. For example, the last time he made baskets, he made more baskets than others. They were neat and round. Wood has to admit that Robert is not only diligent, but also skillful.

"Let me tell you another secret. I heard from the team leader that the work point system will soon be capped, with a maximum of 700 people. Now there are more than 400 people. Therefore, whoever is slack will be finished."

Robert's words made all the villagers look at each other, as if there were sparks.

"Don't all stare at your own people. If you have the ability, you can fight with other groups. The leader said to let everyone work hard. If our group can build the village in advance, everyone can join the work point system, and finally there will be no way for the group to build the village."

Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and the atmosphere immediately became harmonious again.

Robert noticed everyone's expression and was secretly proud. The leader specially told these ordinary team members to be encouraged so that their group could become the group of the second construction village. At that time, the leader will become the village head and will not treat him badly.

"Joining the work point system can not be regarded as a vassal. Now we have only 2000 mu of land, which has been sealed down. Most of them are guards and craftsmen."

"Therefore, whoever builds the village first will be able to open up wasteland first. At that time, the land will be distributed according to the work points, and those who exceed 10 mu will be sealed off." Robert added while the iron was hot.

"Let's work hard! It must be the second one to build the village." Paul's newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, said excitedly.

"Your father and son are new here. The leader must have told you. Let me remind you again that the rules of the hill camp are big. You should walk on the right, not to urinate anywhere. You should pay attention to water. If you break the rules, you will be punished. Don't expect the leader to plead for you, let alone lead the people. Even if the leader breaks the rules, he will be dismissed. We're not here There is a ready-made example! " Robert said and glanced at the middle-aged leader sitting alone in the corner.

"I don't know how such a cheeky person can be kicked out of the work point system. Fortunately, he wants to stay in our group." Another villager said in disgust.

Benson ate his lunch silently. He heard what these people said, but he didn't say anything because he was used to it.

Benson is the leader of the villagers, once.

When he was in the eastern province, Benson drove a carriage for the mayor. When he got to victor, he was elected as the leader of the villagers.

After he became the team leader, he was still competent and made great contributions to the construction of the hill camp.

But he carried it, in the woman's hand.

Lingmin's marriage is actually a partnership between men and women. If men are worthless, women will remarry with their children. But Benson forgot that Lord Victor did not allow the village leader to use his power to seek other people's partners. And he made the mistake.

Therefore, he was dismissed. Benson was unconvinced. He defended himself because the woman was willing.

Victor listened to his explanation quietly, only saying one thing: I has the final say.

Benson was dismissed and kicked out of the work point system. Then Lord Victor gave Benson two choices. Take the money for work points and go away. Or, cancel all work points and stay here.

Benson chose the latter. He knew that going away was death, and he couldn't live without this beautiful and tidy camp. He spilled sweat here and carried his hope here. He couldn't bear it.

So Benson is still eating his lunch, but soon he won't have to eat it.

"Benson, my Lord wants to see you." A guard walked into the canteen and said to Benson.

Benson was surprised, but he immediately stood up, cleaned up the table, and returned the rest of the food to the cook, which he could continue to eat at night. Then he left the canteen with the guard.

Benson, led by the guard, entered the upper camp. He was a little excited. He hadn't been here for a long time. But instead of taking him into the office, the guard took him directly to a fence and rang a small bell.

Benson's pupil shrinks. He knows that this is the restricted area of the hill camp. Something big must have happened, and it has something to do with him!

Soon, the gate of the fence was opened. A man leaned out to look at Benson and said, "come in."

Benson knows him. He is Bousso, one of the few people who can enter the restricted area freely, because Bousso will have a lot of things and won the trust of Lord victor.

"Don't look around. Everything here can't be disclosed." Bousso said as he walked.

Benson followed Bousso with his head down without turning his eyes. He knew that there were many secrets here, especially about purple sugarcane, which represents wealth.

After entering a small wooden house, Benson saw the Lord and five people, one of whom was his acquaintance and the other dismissed village leader, Butz.

"Benson, here you are. Come and sit down." Victor greeted the former subordinate.

"Good day, Lord victor." Benson held back his excitement and saluted victor.

Victor smiled and said to them, "boots, Benson, I called you today to leave the hill camp!"

Boots and Benson, pale but without asking any questions, are waiting for the following.

Seeing their performance, Victor nodded with satisfaction. He stood up, walked to a board with a map and said, "you see, this is our hill camp. 45 kilometers east is the large free people camp in the East. 50 kilometers northeast is Pinghu village."

Victor clicked on the map with a stick.

"This large camp in the East is actually a free people camp disguised by the chebman family. They secretly mine silver here."

"Now, there are signs that Pinghu village and chebman family camp have made contact."

"I intend to establish a free people camp in the middle of the two camps, and you will preside over the camp."

Victor clicked on the map again.

"Your Excellency, do you mean to let us cut off the connection between the two camps?" Benson asked boldly.

"No, you don't have to do anything, just build a free private land here." Victor continued: "at present, there are about 100 scattered free people in the territory. Most of them are mountain people. As long as you build a camp, they will come to take refuge in you. I want you to firmly control these mountain people."

Victor believes that the alchemical war mastiff can drive the mountain people to a predetermined area, where they will be integrated.

"My Lord, the mountain people have a strong temperament and are used to obeying the strong. We're just afraid we can't suppress them." Boots said with a stiff head.

"I've got help for you. These are bull, Colbert, Conley, and Dave."

Butz and Benson looked at the four dull strangers at this time. They found that these people were very strong, especially the guy named Manniu, which was almost comparable to that of big Renault.

"Manniu and corbert are the dead men trained by the family. They are powerful and not inferior to the trainee knights. Conley and Dave are proficient in various crafts and skills and are the craftsmen trained by the family."

Victor smiled as he watched boots and Benson turn pale.

"I believe you have guessed that Renault and Bousso, like them, are the secret forces in my hands. Even captain Nelson doesn't know this secret."

Butz and Benson are stiff. They have heard that the great nobles will secretly train dead men. These dead men have experienced cruel training, loyal to their masters, powerful but inhumane. Now, the legendary dead are in front of them, and they will work with them.

"Don't worry, since I let you know these secrets, it means that you have become the core members of the family. As long as you don't betray me, you won't be cleaned. Will you betray me?"

Victor still kept an elegant smile, but Butz and Benson thought the smile was very dangerous. They quickly replied, "Sir, we will never betray you! It's all at your command."

"Well, I trust you. You should remember that you left the hill camp because you were excluded. You must not expose any flaws in front of the mountain people."

"If Pinghu village or chebman family camp contact you, you should act like a leader of the free people. Do you understand?"

"I see!" After the panic, Benson and boots felt very excited. They are now the core members of the family. Is this a step to the sky?

"If you want to contact me, just tell Manniu. Similarly, Manniu will convey my orders to you. Usually, they are still your men."

"Do you have any questions?" Victor asked softly.

"Sir, when shall we start?" Benson and boots looked at each other and asked excitedly. It's a good feeling to be valued!

"Bousso will take you to the temporary camp and announce that you have been exiled. After the barbarians meet you, you will set out immediately." Victor continued with a straight face, "can you not be so excited! You are exiled! Not canonized!"

After Bousso left the room with two mournful former team leaders, Victor went to the map, covered the location of Pinghu village with his hands, and sneered: "Pinghu village, 500 people, 5000 mu of cultivated land and 6000 mu of lake, can you escape my palm?"

Victor's eyes were fixed on the chebman family camp, deep and cold.

"I am the Lord here!"
