I'm really a crispy French

Leon's excitement even surprised Eldy, he thought for a while: "Okay, listen to you."

Afterwards, Eldi went to Mombe to ask for the weather records of Alman City.The Church of the God of Nature will have such a record, from the day the church was completed until the church was destroyed for some reason.

It was found that the city of Yarman experienced severe drought more than 50 years ago, followed by insect plagues, and then experienced floods. For eight years, the disasters have not stopped.Also because of the climate here, the local people have almost no habit of storing food.If it weren't for the support of the church, almost this city that was never fought would disappear from the map at that time.

Eldi specifically said to Leon because of this incident: "Your decision is right, we should grow our own food and have our own food reserves."

At the same time, Hope Village began to hire female workers from Yarman City, but almost no one applied for the job...

Leon secretly used his avatar to become a human, mixed with the locals, and observed their reaction to the employment: "Isn't this a good thing? The factory pays high, why no one goes?"

The first person said: "Factories are places that eat people."

Leon: "Salary is settled on a daily basis. You don't even look at it. How can you say it's a place that eats people?"

The second said, "They're going to use that power stone spinning machine, that's a demon."

Leon: "There is no machine factory in Alman City, but there are many factories in the Muller Alliance and the Cairns Empire. Do you think that kind of big country will not be able to distinguish the devil? The Church of the God of Nature also has a church in Hope Village. If the factory is a devil, How could the church allow it?"

A third person said: "The workers who go to work in the factory will definitely die."

Leon: "Whoever drinks the water will surely die."

This was not a one-time conversation, but multiple conversations with multiple people, otherwise it would have been obvious that he was speaking for the factory.It still has some effect, some people hesitated after being persuaded, some boldly decided to take a look, and some people not only were not persuaded, but also fought with Leon's avatar, and then were Leon's avatar. I was beaten...

With the help (tiao) of Leon's avatar (suo), some people finally signed up, but they registered in advance, because the distance between Yarman City and Hope Village is still quite far, and arrangements will be made Shuttle bus - it took nearly a month to go all the way to repair the road, but the road was slow at that time, after all, it had to be cleaned up all the way. During this period, the knights drove the car for many times. Coachman, then you can make a trip every five to seven days.

Therefore, although wages are settled daily, if these workers are willing to go to work, it is impossible for these workers to return on the same day.But it doesn't count that Leon deceived them, and they would be informed of these things when they applied for the job.

Also, the people who were arranged to recruit workers were Captain, Gentleman and Big Eye.The archer followed another team to find the way in the forest around Hope Village. Leon's tentacles could find the way, but he was more willing to leave this matter to other people, otherwise everything would be done by the tentacles, and the village would be destroyed. It's really just his and Eldy's play house.He only allowed a few small points to follow the Pathfinder team members to protect their safety in times of crisis.

Plumbers are laying pipes. Although there are less than 500 people in the village now, what Leon and Eldi are doing is real urban planning. The most basic laying of sewage pipes is a large-scale project. Plumbers now Tired to death.

After the factory was built, Leon and Eldy thought they would receive the equipment at least next year, but they didn't expect that one day in early November, before the pier was completely built, a large ship docked on the shore and their equipment arrived.And this ship will take away the goods purchased by various merchants during this period, including the cotton cloth and various finished products bought in Hope Village.

"Why did it arrive so quickly?" Leon asked Modosu while watching the goods being delivered upside down on the ship.

"Now textile factories are being opened everywhere." Recently, Modosu has been acting more like a real businessman. At least when he faces customers, he always has a smile on his face. The machine purchased by a businessman was bought at a high price, but please rest assured, our transaction with you will still be carried out according to the agreed price."

Leon nodded unceremoniously: "Of course."

Modosu: "..."

When the machine was being assembled, Leon took a closer look. When he was in Diller City, he had the most avatars in the North District. Even though he didn't understand the machines in the factory, he saw a lot of them.Regardless of the model or the time of use, these devices are really relatively new devices. Modosu has not been deceived, nor has Leon been deceived.

This is the benefit of relying on the Church of the God of Nature, otherwise if Leon and Eldi are single-handed, even if Leon can fool the identity of a demigod—although he himself is not sure whether he is—these businessmen will not We will definitely treat him with equal eyes.

There are two cotton gins, twenty spinning machines, and five looms.The cotton gin is three meters square and has a big funnel on it. You can throw cotton directly into it, and it can remove the cotton seeds and squeeze out the cotton sliver at the same time.The spinning machine is relatively small, 1.5 meters long and [-] centimeters wide, and more than two meters high. Below one meter is a pile of machinery, and above one meter is a long iron rod. Workers insert wooden spools on the iron rods, and then put cotton The strip is wound on the high-speed rotating spool by hand, and the spool must be adjusted at any time, and when the spool is almost thick, it is taken off by hand.The loom is larger, five meters high and more than ten meters long. It can weave twenty threads at the same time, and workers need to continuously add bobbins and push them forward in groups.

The machine didn't turn on, only the four testers who installed it stood in front of it chattering.Leon looked at it for a while, and whispered to Eldi quietly: "If you use these machines, it won't be long before all the people in our village will become disabled."

"Just like those workers in Diller City..." But at least there are experienced workers among the workers, who can guide the novice for a while. The tenant farmers and workers they recruited were not scared to death by these machines at first. OK

After reaching an agreement, Leon and Eldy looked at each other, Leon said: "Can you improve these machines?"

"What, what?" The tester who was talking to Mombe and Morifio was stunned for a moment, and after searching for a long time, he found Leon, "Little guy... oh! By the way, you, you It's the head of the house, right?"

Modosu smiled awkwardly. He told these testers about the situation in this place, but these guys can play with terrible machines, but their brains are still not very good.

"One improvement, five to ten gold coins, it doesn't matter, why?" When they were assembling the machine before, Leon and Aldi came to see it, and four testers followed after a long journey, and each of them could get a total of ten The reward of gold coins, "If you can improve each machine, I will give you another gold coin for each machine. Of course, the four of you can discuss how to divide it among yourself."

The eyes of the four testers immediately lit up, but they hesitated whether Leon could do what he said. At this moment, Modosu suddenly said: "It is the fault of our Modosu Trading Company that our machines cannot satisfy you. The cost of improvement shall be borne by the commercial bank."

The four of them were relieved now, and only looked at Leon with full attention.Leon first walked to the front of the textile machine: "First, can you change from inserting the wooden spool on the iron rod to directly inserting the wooden spool in a groove? Second, can the step of adding cotton sliver be possible?" Move it farther, or put it to the side of the machine?"

It is said to be a thin iron rod, but it is also as thick as a thumb, and it is also very long. With the height of most ordinary people today, both men and women have to straighten their arms and get very close to insert the spool.The thin iron rod rubs against the hand, or the person's center of gravity is unstable and jumps on it. The high-speed rotating thin iron rod can make the human body experience what friction is to remove the flesh...

In the textile factory in Diller City, many female workers would lose a finger when they were in a trance, and their faces would be curled up. There were not a few who lost their noses and even lips.

Then there's the loom, where the main hazards are the upper and pusher spools.Workers have to bend over to do these jobs, and the iron teeth used for weaving are just above their backs, and if they are raised a little, they can hang people's scalps off.So in the city of Diller, this kind of work is done by children.But children’s physical strength is not good. When pushing the spools, a certain amount of strength is needed to snap the groups of spools to a fixed position. Often, children lift their bodies due to improper force, and then...

"The loom also has two points. First, see if you can raise the loom as a whole. Second, get a bracket or something to make it easier to push the spool into place?"

The four testers were a little surprised. It's not that they haven't encountered situations where equipment needs to be improved.But the requirements of those factory owners are how to make the machines work faster.As for whether workers can keep up with the progress of the machine?Or will working too fast overwork workers and increase the accident rate?The factory owners don't care. If the machine breaks down, they will spend money to repair it. If the worker breaks down, they just need to replace it.

"You have to know that it is impossible to improve the equipment in one day or two. Your start time will be delayed by at least one month. These improvements will not increase the efficiency of the factory, and will cost you a lot of money and time. It’s unnecessary.” A tester said, “Are you worried that the population here is too small? In fact, you can ask the Chamber of Commerce to bring you population, and many people are willing to work in the factory.”

Leon didn't even glance at the tester, he just said, "I've finished my conditions, I'll give you a month to improve the equipment, can it be done?"

The neglected tester frowned, and the other testers pulled him twice: "Of course! Of course we can do it."

After Leon and the others left, the other three testers surrounded the person who had just spoken and said, "That kid is probably a descendant of a big man in the Church of the God of Nature. He is willing to waste money. Why do you need to meddle in your own business?"

"It's a good thing to be able to modify the machine to be safer, why stop it?"

At the beginning, the tester just listened and didn’t speak, but he was probably tired of being nagged and accused. He finally retorted: “Are you all idiots? How long can we live with the days of machines floating around?! Can we stay Isn’t it good to be a technician in one place?!”

A little worm was lying on one side of the wall, watching the whole thing from beginning to end.

The sewing team expanded further. In addition to bed sheets and quilts and ready-made garments, they also began to sew aprons, jumpsuits, masks, hoods and gloves, all of which will be equipped with future work clothes for workers.And there was the first case of theft in the village. A woman in the sewing team stitched together leftover fabric and sewed a pair of trousers for her husband.

The remaining fabrics from sewing are collected together, and the large pieces of fabric are picked out by the children and tied together according to the colors.Villagers can buy a catty with two copper coins, and these cloth heads are sold for a silver coin when they are transported to the city. clothes.

Small pieces of rags piled up in warehouses.Leon said he had other uses.

Eldy had also stated to them that stealing rags without paying was an act of theft, but if she did it anyway, it would be treated as theft.

"You have so much cloth! I just want a little scrap that you don't want! The cloth for a pair of trousers is less than a catty, and the cloth is less than a copper coin. Are you reluctant to part with it?!" The woman who stole was pulled out of the dormitory by the female warrior. screaming and struggling.

She is a good worker, and she can be the first one every time she eats, but she can only eat by herself, and she is not allowed to take it out of the kitchen.So she complained several times, because she couldn't bring cheese and sausage to her children and husband, so in the eyes of others, she was still a good wife and mother who loved her husband and children.

Now her loud questioning actually attracted the approval of many people.Men and women looked at those "gentlemen" with hostile eyes.

"Bah!" Lily rushed up and slapped the woman on the face, "my man's shit is unnecessary waste, would you eat it?! You ask why you are not willing to give alms less than a copper coin to You, then why are you not willing to buy cloth with a copper coin?! Look at the skirt on my body, this is what I made of the cloth I bought! My man’s and my child’s are all made of cloth! We all use If you buy it with money, only you are stealing!"

"This is really an insult to the thief." Sitting on the side with big eyes muttering, he was glared at by the captain, he was a little wronged, he moaned and moved towards the archer, "I'm right, it's not so much that she's stealing, It's better to say that she is too stupid. Those women all took cloth heads, and she was the only one who made a pair of trousers for her husband."

Although the village is busy everywhere, in fact, it is quite boring for people who have seen too many bustling big cities.There had been a thief at last, and it seemed that their little lord wanted to catch this as an example.So everyone who was free came to watch the fun.

The archer stood there like a statue, only his hair and clothes were blown by the wind, but his big eyes couldn't make him respond in any way.

The archer went to see the plumber again, and the plumber breathed out: "Yes, yes, you are right." He breathed out again, but in fact, he didn't hear what the big eyes said at all.

But Big Eyes is right, women actually hide a piece or two of cloth, either secretly mend their old clothes, or put together with the rags they bought, and women who are more dexterous can tear the cloth apart Into the thread, so they do not need to buy thread.

But if you don’t buy cloth heads, when mending old clothes, you will sew new cloth heads inside, and the outside is invisible.Women who make clothes will inevitably buy cloth heads. They eat and live in the territory. Hardworking women can earn a lot of copper coins during this period, so they don't feel bad about spending this money.Only this captured woman didn't buy a piece of cloth for a copper coin, and made a new pair of trousers so conspicuously.

She and her husband were even more foolish to make new clothes and show them off to other people.Soldiers don't go out of their way to remember who bought and who didn't, but they still want to tell others, who will be arrested if they don't arrest her?Not only was she arrested, her husband was also arrested, because her husband knew where the cloth head came from, but he didn't report it.

The punishment for Leon and Eldi is to let the couple dig out the dung together, and neither of them has a big house to live in, so they can only live in the grass shed they built when they first moved here.However, their children have not been implicated, and they can still live in the children's dormitory and work with the children.

Two more laws were added to the village's code: stealing property will be punished by ten days' imprisonment and a penalty of returning four times the owner's property.If the thief has no property, the owner shall be reimbursed from his work income during the detention period.If the income within ten days is not enough to repay, the detention period will be extended indefinitely.

"We pay back four times! Then why don't we let us live in a house!" The woman who stole the cloth yelled, and she turned out to be smart at this time.

"I'm in charge of the punishment in the village, but I don't care about the employment in the factory," Eldi said.

Leon spread his hands: "You broke the law, so you have to use legal means to solve the problem. But as a factory owner, how could I hire a thief who stole my property? And the house is the benefit I provide for the factory workers. You are no longer a worker in my factory, why should I care about you? You should be grateful to me, I am still willing to continue to provide your husband with a job picking manure, and I am willing to give you and your wife a place to live."

The woman was like a fighting cock just now, stretching her neck high and raising her head, now she looked at Leon, and for some reason, felt a burst of fear, and slowly retracted her head.Her husband had been silent all the time, but at this time he lowered his head and didn't even dare to fart.

The really idle captain and the gentleman looked at each other, punishing a pair of greedy and stupid tenants, and deterring the more and more courageous tenants, it was not worth their thinking.But... there is a deeper meaning in the actions of these two children, but the captain and the gentleman just think that their actions are very good and useful, but they can't explain what the actions mean in detail. .

"Look at me here!" Leon clapped his hands, "Now let's get down to business, and the work team will be disbanded from next week! You will have new tasks. First, the big kitchen recruits ten people! Second, farmers invite 30 people, Men! Third, the factory recruits 30 people! Farmers first!"

Originally, Leon first mentioned the big kitchen, and a group of people were eager to try it. Who knew that Leon was the first to mention farmers, but Leon also allowed those who ran out to run back.

"If you get a new job and fail the trial period, you will be fired! Whether there will be new jobs available by then, I'm not sure."

Shareholders, you look at me, I look at you, husband and wife or brothers and sisters whispered for a while, and finally thirty men stood up one after another.

At the beginning, I didn’t want to farm because farming was too bitter. Although it is still bitter now, the food and accommodation provided by Leon are very good. Their labor intensity is higher than before, but most of them are not only not weak enough to get sick, but stronger up.It is better to continue to hold on to a stable job than to do an unfamiliar job now.

"Go back and pack your things in the dormitory, and reassign the housing later." The 30 people agreed and ran to the dormitory. Although there is no one in the dormitory now, a pair of thieves have just been punished. Stealing things at this time, "The following are the kitchen helpers, ten of them."

This time, a large group of men and women stood up, and Leon asked them to knead the dough or cut and peel the vegetables on the spot, which ended up wasting a lot of things.These people can't even knead dough, because there is rarely enough flour for steaming bread in the tenant farmers' homes, not even the coarsest semolina.They get a little bit of flour at most, and then put the flour and wild vegetables into the pot to cook a pot of vegetable paste.

Not many people do a good job of cutting and peeling vegetables. Before they became sharecroppers in Leon, they just rubbed off the mud when eating wild vegetables, and they didn't know how to wash them, let alone peel them.Everything that can be eaten will be stuffed into the mouth and chewed together.Only a few people with relatively dexterous hands took a fruit knife and carefully peeled off the skin.

In the end, the kitchen took in seven people, and none of them were full.The people who successfully entered the farmer's team breathed a sigh of relief, and the others immediately became worried, and there were definitely more than 30 people left!

——More than a dozen people were killed on the road, but now there are more than 80 adult men and women left, and there are also unmarried teenagers and men and women who are over [-] years old. They have also been treated as adults among the tenant farmers.

The helpers also went to pack their luggage, and then began the selection of workers. Their test was very simple, each took two large walnuts, and turned the walnuts.The hands of these tenant farmers are covered with thick calluses, and the joints are protruding. Many of them have injured their fingers, so they have lost the flexibility they should have. Walnuts, a seemingly easy game-like test, has become extremely difficult for them.
