If I let you farm, will you become the emperor of the empire?

Roman regained his sanity and suppressed his body instincts.

A young body is good in everything, except that the desire is too strong, and some impulses are difficult to suppress.

When the lower body controls the upper body, the lower body becomes the upper body.

The Hanged Man is a case of that.

Therefore, Roman would never allow his lower body to command the development plan of Sige Town, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous, and the scene would be unbearable to watch.

He thought it was a good thing to have desires, and young people all had desires, but...

This damn lower body!

How could he not distinguish the primary from the secondary!

What's the point of fucking a woman!

A real man should fuck the earth!

Now the territory is poor and white, and there is no room for slackness. It is the kingly way to use all your energy in the right way!

The labor force in Sige Town is the most scarce.

He must devote all his energy, all his strength, again and again, and inexhaustibly to the construction.

That afternoon, the laborers in Sig Town were surprised to find that their lord, the honorable Lord Roman, had joined their work again.

Some people were used to it, while others were terrified.

The effect was immediate. Roman's presence on site increased the entire construction progress by 10%.

As the chief engineer, he drew all the foundations with lime lines and planned the construction standards. Now he has readjusted the allocation of manpower in different positions. The division of labor and cooperation is dynamic and needs to be adjusted according to the actual situation. Roman has made everyone's work process more reasonable and smooth.

But he only supervised for 10 days before he had to leave because of other things.

...

189 days after Roman came to Sig Town.

Seth encountered a problem.

There was not enough thick parchment paper - to be more precise, there was not enough sheepskin.

Because Roman asked him to collect all the information on the number, gender, age and other information of all the people in Sig Town.

This is a large-scale census.

Let alone collecting information, the difficulty of compiling it into a book is extremely high.

That would require at least hundreds of sheepskins.

Even if ten tanners worked until day and night and killed all the sheep in the barn, they still couldn't make so much parchment.

This is also a problem that everyone in this era has to face.

The cost of paper is too high.

There is nothing to say, Roman put the task of papermaking on the agenda.

He mobilized a dozen people and asked them to collect mulberry bark.

Papermaking is basic knowledge, which was lit up when the [Manufacturing] skill was upgraded to level 2.

The process of papermaking is not complicated, and the first batch of paper can be obtained in two months at most.

He didn't have time to do these things before. When the population was less than 2,000, ten people couldn't spare a hand. This is not a joke, because only those people really worked.

Any demand cannot beat the most basic survival needs - education also has to wait in line.

Now that the population has exceeded 3,000, a few people can be squeezed out.

In the past, universal education could only be regarded as a small fight. With paper, this aspect can be accelerated.

Roman plans to give each of his soldiers a literacy booklet in the future, so that they can learn literacy and improve their military capabilities.

And he will design a reward and punishment system to give various rewards to a group of soldiers with the most literacy and increase the training intensity of a group of soldiers with the least literacy.

Anyway, either literature or sports, one must bloom!

Those soldiers who bloom in both literature and sports will receive more generous rewards from Roman.

Now, the town of Sige has entered a stage of initial acceleration.

Every day, thirty or forty brick houses are formed.

And the blacksmiths and carpenters are also very busy, especially the carpenters, who are very busy from morning to night every day.

In the past, they had to build various ox carts and horse carriages, but now they have to build furniture such as tables, chairs, benches, doors, windows, beds, etc. to fill the demand for brick houses.

But this task is too huge.

Fortunately, the new batch of slaves relieved a lot of pressure on Vichy.

Roman has only one requirement - whoever dares to pile grass as a bed in the brick house, who dares to squat on the ground to eat, who dares to urinate anywhere, he will twist off that person's head.

...

One month later.

Eight hundred standard brick houses stood before everyone.

The red walls were solid and reliable, the gray tiles were stacked, and the houses were lined up. Only some finishing work had not been completed.

The roads were neat and the houses were neat. There were eight residential areas in total. Each residential area had 100 houses scattered everywhere, similar to the nearby small villages.

Each house was also numbered.

Everyone had to live in a numbered house and could not change the residential address at will.

Roman asked Jimmy to serve as the director of the town residents part-time, and also arranged ten one-star and two-star apostles he carefully selected. They were all seed players and formed a grassroots skeleton.

It doesn't matter if some people can't read. They will learn slowly in the future!

Must learn!

Anyone who doesn't learn will have his legs broken!

In addition, there are five former managers of Sige Town as assisting units.

It's a pity that paper has not been manufactured yet, so it is impossible to start recording everyone's information data immediately.

But Roman is not in a hurry. This matter is not very important. The only advantage at present is that with the brick house number, the management and statistical costs in the future can be reduced to a very low level.

Resources can be used in a centralized manner to improve efficiency and avoid waste in the process.

For example, how did Roman's little clerk check household registration in the past?

There are too many places to go, and those huts are scattered and disorganized. Even if you have a good memory, it is impossible to remember them all.

But now you just need to click on the picture to find out.

They live densely and ride dozens of carriages to various places every morning to work with cattle and horses, which can greatly save physical strength and walking time during working hours.

After building all the brick houses, Roman recruited fifty more soldiers and gave them three days off to move and pack up their new houses quickly. In order to improve their efficiency, they even lent them large animals. Give it to them.

…

During the period of building the brick house, the 300 slaves Morey promised arrived as scheduled, speeding up the construction.

The slave merchant responsible for the transportation was called Scarhead.

He is a tough, bald man with a fleshy face, thick body hair, and a long and narrow scar of more than ten centimeters on the back of his head.

The dangerous men on these narrow roads always have a name worthy of their name.

Scarhead came to Origin Manor and brought his news to the lord here.

"Is this what Morey told you?"

A flattering smile appeared on Scar Tou's face. "The son of Selin promised that as long as I bring people here, you will fulfill some of my small requests."

Selin's son paid him 10,000 kilograms of salt in advance, which was considered a generous sum.

Those deposits were enough to buy these slaves at a fair price and pay for the shipping.

But according to Morey, after bringing those slaves here, he could get another price.

Scarhead thought about going back on his word.

His agreement with Morey was not enforceable. You could just take the money and do nothing, and then sell those slaves to others.

The so-called win-win situation is that a group of slaves are sold twice. There is no need to go to the inland to sell them twice. It may be a trap.

He used to be a part-time pirate mercenary, but now he is a slave trader.

The former can go back on his words, the enemy will pay twice the price, and he can even turn around and chop off his employer's head, which means he has no credibility at all.

But doing business requires long-term interests.

So he chose to head south, but fortunately he didn't encounter any setbacks.

The rule of the land nobles is limited to land, and their ships are not as flexible and fast as the Arctic ships. Although they go deep alone, Scarhead feels there is nothing to fear.

Their trip was not a plunder.

Because this was related to the subsequent slave transportation, Roman set out to see the slaves brought by Scarhead.

On the dock.

The transport ship converted from the Arctic longship has a narrow hull and is lightweight and flexible. Although it is camouflaged, it is still very aggressive.

They rowed upstream from the Buro River, so they didn't have to make a detour, which saved them several days of effort.

Roman frowned and looked at the group of crooked melons and cracked dates. He could only say that they were worse than the slaves brought by Daken.

"How many people are there?" Roman raised his chin.

"I haven't counted, maybe more than four hundred. There were more than five hundred when we set off."

When Roman got the answer, he moved his fingers, feeling the urge to kill someone. He turned his head and looked at Scarhead with his sharp eyes, which had a terrifying cohesion.

"You didn't take care of them? These are my slaves and you made me suffer?!"

Scarhead immediately put away his flattering smile, and the two Beihai warriors behind him secretly clenched the battle axes in their hands.
