If I let you farm, will you become the emperor of the empire?
Chapter 45 Bewitching
Roman's voice was firm and his expression was calm, suppressing all Barlow's full words.
The young man thought of his dead father.
He lowered his head and said nothing, feeling very sad.
Roman gave him a reassuring pat on the shoulder and told him to get lost.
Picking up the kitchen knife, he chopped the vegetables with his hands.
After preparing today's lunch, Roman shook his sore shoulders.
He took Gweil to find Seth.
"Seth, let everyone take an afternoon off today. I am going to plan a route to the salt mine. Next, these people are going to build the road."
Faced with Roman's request, Seth also knew the importance of the salt mine, and for once he didn't feel that Roman was in a hurry.
"Master, you should also pay attention to your image. You have been cutting vegetables on the field for two days, which will make those farmers look down upon you. They will forget your majesty and will no longer be afraid of you. This is very important to the nobles. Very deadly behavior.”
Seth tidied up Roman's rolled-up sleeves, messy collar, and messy hairstyle. He made Roman look neat and tidy, and at the same time, he was still imparting noble experience.
"Hmph, what does this mean? I will tell those nobles in the future what the truly deadly thing is." Roman snorted.
And Seth was immune to Roman's bullshit.
I have no idea what this kid is talking about.
Where was your butt when you said this?
Under the leadership of Roman, the farmers who had been busy for nearly half a month finally got a half-day of rest.
Although the labor intensity is the same as before, it is still very tiring.
Although the labor intensity is the same with and without standards, the effort required is different.
Because the sowing ended in the morning, Roman announced in the morning that there would be only one lunch and no dinner today.
This dispelled the little thought of the farmers who were working slowly - if they delayed the work until the afternoon, there was a high probability that they would get a free dinner.
Roman wouldn't give them that chance.
The spring plowing lunch is cancelled.
But then the road-building lunch begins again.
…
On the big map of "The Story of Life", Roman planned a specific route.
He wanted to build a solid and durable road instead of a bumpy dirt road. Only people who have lived in this era know how bad the road conditions here are.
The two factors of road conditions and vehicles greatly affect transportation efficiency.
Sige Town is relatively comprehensive in all aspects. After all, it has been developed for decades.
In the entire town, there are more than 80 cattle, several draft horses, and a large number of various livestock including pigs, sheep, and chickens.
Farmers with spare time will not refuse to raise these animals.
After raising those poultry, selling them to Moore or other stewards, or selling them to businessmen is also an important part of the family's income source.
Roman plans to build a wooden cart specifically for transportation.
The amount of this project is relatively huge.
Moreover, Roman didn't have any research on wooden carts - this would have to wait until he improved his [Manufacture] skill.
But the matter itself is not difficult.
So he called in Vicky, a carpenter from Skytown.
This man was very skilled in craftsmanship. He also made the wheels of the previous heavy plow, and many of the oxcarts and horse-drawn carriages in Sige Town were basically related to him.
According to Roman's request, it is not difficult to design a transport vehicle with a simple structure.
Anyway, it cannot escape the limitations of the times.
It doesn't take much to pull a cart like this.
According to Roman's expectation - two meters wide, three meters long, with a load of one or two tons, it can be pulled by a draft horse - it is essentially a modified ox cart.
After learning about Roman's needs, Vicky said: "Master, this kind of thing is not difficult, but I don't know how many pull carts you need."
"Ten vehicles now, a hundred vehicles in the future, I will use as many as I have."
The most important thing for development is transportation.
Vicky said nervously: "Sir, this kind of pull cart is very time-consuming. I can't build ten pull carts in a short time."
He still vividly remembers the scene when he was building a plow.
He had to work as soon as he opened his eyes, and sometimes he didn't even have time to eat, which made him extremely haggard.
Although the pay was staggering, if he maintained this intensity of work for a long time, Vicky felt that death would catch up with him faster than silver coins.
Roman waved his hand: "Then let them divide the labor and cooperate, pass on your carpentry skills, and carry out large-scale production. Your number of helpers will triple from today on."
Vicki opened her mouth, showing no reluctance, and said, "It may take me ten days to build the first pull cart."
Roman said: "There's no need to rush this matter. I'll give you one month. Is that enough?"
Vicki looked a little embarrassed. She had to work overtime.
"After the matter is completed, I will pay you 1 gold coin separately as a reward, how about it?"
Vicky's face jumped, "I will do my best."
It seems that death is too late!
Because what is chasing him is gold coins!
Roman continued: “Vicci, if you can’t finish it, you can train a carpenter apprentice.
"As many qualified carpenters as you can train, I will give you the same number of gold coins.
"You can also tell Lux about this. If he can train a qualified blacksmith, I will give you double or even triple the gold coins."
He had no hope for the production efficiency of the town of Seg, so he had to use some means to train more craftsmen and improve the production efficiency as much as possible.
The carpenter in his thirties or forties was immediately moved.
He realized that one carpenter could not satisfy the appetite of the lord.
If that was the case, it would not be impossible to teach the carpenter's skills to others.
Although his life as a carpenter was good, his income was low. He could only earn 1 gold coin throughout the year, and in most cases, farmers had to buy on credit.
And Lax's annual income was at least 2 gold coins.
"Vic, you don't have to work hard every day, you don't have to get up early and go to bed late, you just need to teach your skills to others, you only need to train ten carpenters every year, and you can get 10 gold coins...
"The upper limit is 100. As long as you can train 100 carpenters, I can pay you 100 gold coins. "
If the previous sentence made Vicky feel moved, then this sentence directly ignited Vicky's heart and made his pupils tremble, like a meteorite falling into a lake, causing huge waves.
He originally had two carpenter assistants and slaves who had worked in his carpentry shop for several years.
If I could...if I could...
He never thought that he could earn a hundred gold coins in his life!!
Vic's lips trembled, his face turned red, and he gritted his teeth and said: "I will! I will obey all your orders, sir!"
He left the Origin Manor with his feet drifting.
