After becoming an animal, I also have to farm

Lin Miao brought the six witches into the house and asked each of them to find a comfortable high stool to sit on, while he himself sat down on the carpeted floor.

Cheer for yourself in your heart, the first witches' congress to liberate France begins now!

Although the witches didn't know what Lin Miao meant, they all sat obediently on the stools, folded their hands and waited for Lin Miao to continue speaking.

Clearing his throat strategically, Lin Miao raised the first major problem they would face together.

Keep warm

Lilith was the first to make a suggestion on this issue.

She said that the manor she worked in before had a smaller population, and every winter, the overseer would squeeze the servants and livestock together to prevent the lord's property from freezing to death.

People and animals huddle together for warmth, living in livestock houses, which is also very convenient. All you have to do is cover the livestock pen before it snows.

When Lin Miao heard her talk about the livestock pen, he seemed to remember the lingering smell of feces, and was the first to pass her up.

Lina and her two sister witches also had some experience when they were living in Manor No. 3. She suggested to Lin Miao,

"Lord Dragon God, the harvest is good this year. There's plenty of hay in the fields. We can have the servants pick it up and weave it into straw clothes to share with everyone."

Lin Miao shook his head when he heard this, thinking that this would definitely not work.

When it snows in the winter, the temperature will definitely drop below zero. What use can this straw coat be that can neither keep you warm nor protect you from the cold?

It's just a last bit of psychological comfort, just like the placebo effect when taking medicine, it's useless...

Medea and Eva were indeed experienced witches, and they both pointed out important issues.

That is to build winter shelters and refuges for the farm servants to live in together.

This makes it easier to manage people and detect if anyone is left alone or dies accidentally.

Lin Miao instantly thought of the way the flower-growing countries managed the people in ancient history, but at that time they used the baojia system and the village head system.

But in fact, the mechanism of action is the same, and the purpose is to closely observe whether there is any loss of subordinate labor.

Lin Miao's previous idea was to repair the house a little bit and lay a kang for the servants so that they could keep warm in it during the winter.

As for meals, just do it the same way as before and send someone to the square to get them.

Managing each building in this way avoids the dispersion of personnel and enables better reporting of daily personnel situation.

The requirement for achieving the mission is to preserve at least 80% of the population.

Based on the current population of all the manors, she could only lose 20 servants at most.

Of course, let Lin Miao think about it, she is a precious labor force and she doesn't want to lose it!

So Lin Miao brought up his idea of building a kang.

However, the word "fire kang" was extremely novel. The witches present looked at each other in confusion, but no one could understand it.

Lin Miao gestured with his hands, wishing he could take out the description of the kang he had seen in his mind and show it to everyone.

So that the witches can put their heads together and get this thing made.

Finally, Lin Miao explained while building the model, which made the witches understand a little bit.

Thinking that the kang should be related to the fireplace, Lin Miao ignited the fireplace with a fireball.

Let the witches extend the heating area as she just said, and smear hard mud on it as a sleeping place. Think along this line of thought.

When he was a corporate slave, Lin Miao read a lot of books, and his favorite was articles about infrastructure.

In infrastructure articles, the most frequently appearing object is the kang.

So every time she saw a description of a kang, she would read it carefully, but she never remembered its principles and construction methods accurately.

Now she could only think of a general idea, and the rest could only be guessed and speculated by her witch employees.

But fortunately, Lin Miao has already told everyone the basic direction, which is nothing more than burning firewood in a smoke inlet to produce hot air.

Let the hot air circulate continuously inside the earthen kang where people lie down to sleep, and then let the smoke be discharged from the chimney.

Medea was the first to discover that what Lin Miao called a kang was actually the heat release port of the fireplace extended and covered as a flat surface.

So she continued to explain this idea to everyone, and soon several witches gathered together and started discussing it.

When they encountered disputes, they even used the wood originally used to burn in the fireplace to build simple models.

Seeing that they were holding strange-shaped firewood and had no way of doing a good demonstration, Lin Miao suggested that they just get some mud bricks and start building.

Medea and Eva's eyes lit up, and they led the four people out in a hurry, not even realizing that Lin Miao didn't follow them.

Seeing a group of female soldiers working hard on infrastructure construction, Lin Miao felt very relieved.

Although she couldn't help much, she still stood up and planned to go with them to look for it.

Let’s see if the French Empire has mastered the art of baking bricks and building houses with them.

Medea called a few farm servants and asked them to take out the wooden blocks used to make mud bricks from the warehouse.

He also asked two other male servants to go to the field and dig up some clay, mix it with some hay and bring it over.

Watch as Medea and the others skillfully stomped the soil firmly under their feet, mixed it with hay, and sealed it into the mold, then threw it out to dry on the ground.

Lin Miao realized that the French people already knew the techniques of making bricks at that time!

But come to think of it, the houses that rose from the ground in several manors, except for the lord's house, were made of baked bricks and hewn stones.

The houses where the servants lived were still simple mud houses built with mud bricks.

Lin Miao stood by and watched them make the bricks. He asked in confusion why they didn't fire the bricks so that they would be more durable.

Medea had seen the old lord making the servants burn mud bricks to build houses. She shook her head and replied regretfully,

“Lord Dragon God, burning bricks consumes too much manpower and material resources, and there is no brick kiln built in the small manor.

If we were to rebuild it from scratch, the cold winter would come almost as soon as the bricks were fired.”

Lin Miao thought so too. Since we have to face the cold winter, it is better to improve the infrastructure in advance.

As for upgrading and improving conditions, we still need to consider it carefully.

In this way, the six witches gathered at Manor No. 2 and began the experiment of building a kang.

They were determined to develop the fire kang that the Dragon Lord had assigned them within a short period of time so that they could bring it back to their respective estates to benefit the serfs.

At the beginning, no one had experience, so Medea had to find a few more people among the serfs.

Those who had previously participated in building houses for the lord, or made mud bricks and built fireplaces, were asked to provide guidance.

After knowing that Lord Dragon and Lord Witch were helping them research tools to keep warm in winter, the servants all worked harder.

Every day I try to finish my work as quickly as possible, and then come to the square to help.

The entire Manor No. 2 is a scene of bustling infrastructure construction, as the saying goes, there is strength in numbers.

With the joint efforts of many farm servants, the kang described by Lin Miao was successfully built.

When everyone saw the kang in the repaired house, they saw that it occupied nearly 1/4 of the space.

After putting hay and firewood into the entrance and lighting them, you can not only boil water and cook on the stove, but also make the whole house and sleeping area warm.

All the serfs shouted and hugged each other excitedly, celebrating in advance that they had successfully survived the cold winter and lived to see next spring.

During this period, Lin Miao did not take any action. She just regarded herself as a passenger plane carrying witches.

He is more like a busy principal, bringing them here to discuss study every day and sending them back in the evening.

Soon, the Dragon Lord's manor quietly changed dramatically.
