Succubus' Manor

Taking over a new city means that Chi Yan will have to spend a lot of energy in the next period of time. He has to be busy formulating opportunities and finding ways to appease the common people. The most important thing is to transfer food. He has to encourage people to get out of the house and start over. Socialize and live, and find work for them at the same time.

Otley's inhabitants were not many, and nearly half of them died of the plague, so there were many empty houses and open spaces.

Chi Yan also looked at the map of Otley. There are only a few main roads, and there are no small alleys. The development of Otley was not very good, and there were many empty houses and open spaces.

"How's the demographics going?" Chi Yan asked Old Bob.

With Kleist standing beside Chi Yan, Old Bob would always show restraint. Now that Chi Yan asked, Old Bob maintained a serious expression: "Although there may be discrepancies, it should be within two thousand." to 3000 people."

Chi Yan: "... so few people?"

How could Otley have the nerve to call himself a city with such a large number of people?

Chi Yan couldn't think of Stettin at all, and there were not many people there.

Old Bob: "The plague killed more than half of the people, and this number is pretty good. Many small towns nearby may not even have a thousand people."

Chi Yan's eyes lit up: "Then can we get people from other cities?"

Old Bob looked into Chi Yan's eyes, then lowered his head shyly: "That...it should be possible, but the lords of other cities will definitely not let them go, but as long as those people come secretly, let's insist that it has nothing to do with us , the lords of those cities must not dare to confront the tough.”

Old Bob is very good at bullying and has absolutely no moral burden.

To be precise, people nowadays have no sense of morality, and they have no requirements for morality.

Only when people eat and drink enough and satisfy their physiological needs, can they have higher-level pursuits.

For example, if you get married, you have to pay taxes, so many people don’t get married, and in the end they have a child. They can only throw the child away and pick it up quietly, saying that the child was picked up, otherwise they will be fined a large sum of money.

Over time, this has become a tacit understanding among people.

Because of this, the relationship between men and women is very chaotic. Many children living at the bottom only know their mothers but not their fathers. They are similar to slaves, and slaves do not know who their father is.

Chi Yan: "Okay, find work for them first, circle the place where the breeding farm will be built, and build a factory."

Old Bob quickly agreed.

After Old Bob left, Chi Yan said to Kleist: "Old Bob is actually quite handy in using it."

As long as you listen to him, you are very capable, smart, and know what to do and what not to do.

Before Chi Yan thought that Old Bob was a hot potato, and when Old Bob played with his mind, he really knew how to play. If Chi Yan hadn't used the golden finger, he might have to argue with Old Bob in the end. Who would have thought of Old Bob? Not only has its own small treasury, but also has business stores in the Holy City, and pays tribute to the Holy Court and the royal family of the Holy City every year.

Even though he was in Stettin, the Holy City had his people and connections.

He can get a lot of news at the first time.

This is also his last hole card. If Chi Yan doesn't let him go, he will definitely expose his hole card and talk business with Chi Yan.

Maybe the former lord of Stettin was able to secure the seat of the lord, all thanks to old Bob.

Kleist was noncommittal: "It's good that he is obedient."

Kleist never cared who Chi Yan used. His only requirement for those people was to be loyal to Chi Yan and listen to Chi Yan's words.

Chi Yan: "I think it's better to raise chickens and ducks. They have low requirements and can be slaughtered quickly. Pigs can also be raised. Anyway, I don't have any feelings for the wild boars caught here. Cows are also good, but the grass around here is not suitable for raising cows, otherwise the cows It's the best choice."

Now that it has been decided, when building the factory, it is necessary to go to the farmer to buy these livestock at the same time.

Because of the high demand, a farmer must go to some places to buy more livestock that cannot be provided by a farmer.

Moreover, sheep are the most raised on the farm, but Chi Yan is not going to let Otley raise sheep. The local sheep are all curly sheep, which need to be raised and need land. Chi Yan is preparing for collective breeding, which can not only expand production, It can also solve the jobs of many people.

Since the breeding plant is going to be built, clay is needed, and the clay has to be transported from Sakerd. The quality of the local clay in Otley is not good and it is easy to disperse. Therefore, most of the local houses are wooden houses and stone houses. Stone houses are not Every household can afford to build a wooden house, as long as they can find someone to help and have time to cut logs, they will be built.

Although the rain leaks, the wind does not block the wind, and the snow is easy to be crushed, it is a shelter after all.

Because Chi Yan didn't allow people to pull the civilians out of their homes directly, how to get the civilians out of the house became a problem. The civilians were timid and would shrink back when encountering something.

Because Achill was Chi Yan's general, old Bob pushed the matter to him very rudely.

Now Achill and his deputy are staying in the room together, the two of them stare at each other, and they both have deep doubts about each other's mind - is the other person a fool?Haven't figured it out after thinking about it for so long?

Achill: "What can we do then? Every family knocks on the door, saying that we will not kill them, beat them, give them work, and work to earn money? Do they believe it?"

Deputy: "...then I have no better way, old Bob."

But they couldn't refuse. Old Bob had all kinds of excuses, why he couldn't command the soldiers, or he was too busy, so he wanted to gather the merchants in the city.

The two looked at each other and could only use the stupid way of knocking on the door.

Although both of them think this method is ridiculously stupid, they will never say it.

The soldiers also received this task. Before dawn the next day, they divided up and received it, and began to knock on doors from house to house.

Some houses are vacant, and some are occupied by people. If the people living in some houses don’t open their mouths or speak, and make up their minds to pretend to be dead, the soldiers can’t directly break in, so they can only knock on the door first. No, they yelled into the room.

Naturally, Achill also ran out. The number of soldiers seemed large, but after all, there were so many families and so many empty houses.

Blanche brought food back home, and occasionally walked around the city to fetch water from the well. The soldiers in the city never stopped her, and no one knocked on the door of her house in the middle of the night. Her father hadn't died at the hands of these soldiers, so she had no hatred for them.

And because she received the food, she still has some good feelings for Stettin's people.

When the door was knocked, Blanche was cooking at home. She would go out during the day to collect firewood at the edge of the city, and dared to start a fire. Instead of peeling the wheat, she boiled beans and water into a paste , a family of three eat delicious.

Blanche opened the door a crack, poked out half of her head, and looked at the man standing at the door.

She felt that this person looked familiar, as if it was the man who stopped her on the road and told her that food could be received outside the castle.

Achill was impatient to deal with people. When he saw someone coming out, he asked very rudely: "Do you want to find a job? Work hard."

Blanche's eyes lit up immediately: "Yes! I want to find it!"

Achill: "Register at the statue in the center of the city in three days."

Blanche: "What's a registration?"

Achill: "...how do I know."

Blanche: "..."

Achill: "Anyway, that's it."

Then Achill left Blanche's house without hesitation.

Blanche closed the door. After this time, she finally had a bright smile on her face.

She didn't know how long the lord of Stettin would keep supplying food. There were so many people in the city, no amount of food could last long, but it was different if she had a job. She could buy food by herself.

Blanche yelled at her mother and sister, "Mom! I'm going to find a job soon! I can support the family even if Daddy's away."

However, Blanche was the only one who was so happy. The other civilians didn't react at all. They didn't trust Stettin's people at all. It was best to hide.

When the soldiers knocked on the door, Chi Yan just woke up. He didn't sleep well last night. At first, Chi Yan thought he didn't recognize the bed, but after living here for such a long time, Chi Yan still couldn't get used to it. bed.

—too hard.

There were several layers of animal skins on the bed. Chi Yan didn't bring Kadi with him when he came, and he asked other servants to clean up the things. The quilt and everything were ready, but the mattress was not brought. Chi Yan didn't want someone to specialize Go back and get the mattress.

After all, he is an adult in the prime of his youth, so he can bear this discomfort.

At dawn, Chi Yan woke up, but he hugged Kleist's waist with both hands, laying on the bed and not wanting to get up.

It wasn't until Kleist couldn't lie down that Chi Yan sat up.

He rubbed his eyes and said in distress, "I'm so tired."

And coquettishly said: "I had a nightmare all night."

He can't remember what kind of dream he was having now, but he only remembers that he was flustered and scared in the dream. Anyway, sleeping on this bed, he would never have a good dream.

Kleist was very helpless: "I said, I will go back and bring the mattress."

Chi Yan: "No, no, I'm so young, I can't bear such a small thing, even suffering, so what else can I do in the future?"

Kleist: "What's the connection? What are you going to suffer in the future?"

Chi Yan: "That's not what I said. You can be a master only when you have to endure hardships."

Kleist: "Who cares so much?"

Chi Yan: "..."

"Hey" Chi Yan sighed: "I can't realize my mind, you say, I can't bear a little bit of suffering, what should I do if I encounter a big suffering in the future? I can't bear it even more."

Kleist still didn't understand Chi Yan's logic, he frowned and asked, "Can't you not suffer? Do you have to suffer?"

Chi Yan: "..."

Kleist: "..."

Chi Yan: "Then, please run?"

Kleist rubbed Chi Yan's hair: "That's good."

Chi Yan wanted to cry but had no tears.

If one day he becomes the Princess and the Pea, it must be Kleist's habit.
