The territory is now in good order. Qin Yiyi gave Sid thirty gold coins to buy materials to renovate all the houses in the territory, just like the renovation of an old town.
Each performs their own duties.
In the territory, all children over nine years old must work alongside the adults, and their pay is the same as that of elderly people over fifty years old: one or two ounces of low-pollution rice.
Children under nine years old do not have jobs, but they spontaneously organize themselves to transplant cacti back to their territory from the desert. In a short time, the territory has been revitalized and is now teeming with life.
Qin Yiyi, wearing sun-protective sleeves, surveyed her territory.
Sid praised sincerely from the side: "Young lady, although you are a useless pure-blooded human, you have unique methods when it comes to managing territory and cooking!"
Qin Yiyi: "..."
"Sid, next time you can just say the second half. If you say the first half again, I'll cut your rations!"
Sid: "..."
Qin Yiyi walked in the sand.
"The ground should be cleared to create a paved path, and the driveway and sidewalk should be planned!" She definitely wasn't saying this because sand had gotten into her shoes!
It's simply because...
Ah~
What did she step on?
I didn't step on it, I bumped into a cactus... wait, it's a flowering cactus.
The lord's scream attracted a lot of attention.
The slaves swarmed around.
"My lord, are you alright?"
"The lord is bleeding!"
"Lord's skin is so fragile, like a useless pure-blooded human!"
"Waaaaah~" The person who was speaking had their mouth covered by the others.
Shut up!
A group of children ran over, looking quite bewildered.
"I'm sorry, my lord. We were just trying to transplant some cacti to beautify our territory. We didn't mean to hurt you. We'll move the cacti away immediately!"
The child who was leading the group was almost in tears. He was terrified that the lord would kick his whole family out of the territory because he had done something wrong! That's what the previous lord had done!
His eyes were red.
Qin Yiyi looked at her leg; a few drops of blood were seeping out. Sid quickly bent down and used a handkerchief...
"No... I'll wipe it myself!" Even if Sid washed the handkerchief she used to wipe her nose clean, she wouldn't use it to wipe her legs!
She wiped it a couple of times; there was no serious injury.
Qin Yiyi looked down at the little ones. She had grown quite a bit since she arrived and was now over 1.6 meters tall, much taller than these six or seven-year-olds.
She looked at the little radish head, and the slaves were also very nervous.
The parents of the little boy came over and quickly apologized.
"We're so sorry, Lord! It's all our fault! Please forgive us!" What would they do if they lost such a good job? Adults can become refugees, but children can't!
"You really made a mistake in this matter!" Qin Yiyi looked at Little Carrot Head.
A dozen or so little kids lowered their heads, not daring to look at her.
“You shouldn’t just transplant them in the middle of the road. You should transplant them to the side of the road. I’ve had Sid lead a team to demarcate the sidewalks and driveways within the territory. The cacti you transplanted should be planted on the sidewalks!”
"Because you transplanted the plants into the middle of the road, causing our esteemed lord to get a cut! Therefore, our lord has decided to punish you!"
The thought of punishing them sent a chill down the spines of the dozen or so children and their parents.
"My lord, we are willing to have our rations withheld. Please let us continue working. Please do not send us away!"
As they spoke, one parent knelt down, and the other parents followed suit.
"Please, my lord!" If we drive them away, where will we find such a good lord in the future?
Qin Yiyi snorted coldly, unmoved by their kowtowing. She was a ruthless lord who exploited the people!
"I'm going to punish you by making you decorate everything around the houses in your territory and transplant trees, cacti, and other plants into the territory!"
Huh? The parents and children looked up.
That's...that's it?
Qin Yiyi announced the punishment, and then added, "I will not be paying you any food rations for your part of maintaining the greenery around the buildings!"
ah?
Everyone else was looking at her.
Qin Yiyi looked at the slightly confused expressions on these people's faces.
“You children under the age of nine are responsible for maintaining the greenery and cleanliness of other areas. Like my other great slaves, you get one day off a week and work six days a week, from 9 am to 1 pm every day. Given your weakness and limited capacity, I can only pay you one-third of your rations. That is, if you work for three days, I can give you one ounce of low-pollution rice, and if you work six days a week, I can give you two ounces of low-pollution rice!”
"Really! Your Highness!" All the children looked at the lord with sparkling eyes.
They have jobs now? They can earn their own food now, and they are no longer a burden to their parents!
The little ones couldn't help but cheer softly, while the other parents looked on incredulously as if to say, "Is this...is this paradise on earth?"
"Hurry up and thank the lord!"
One of the quick-thinkers said something, and the others snapped out of their daze and hurriedly thanked the lord.
One of the little rascals boldly said, "Lord, we don't have to rest in the afternoon either. We can continue to work for you!" The lord only allowed them to work in the morning and not in the afternoon, and he would also give them two ounces of low-pollution rice a week. They were afraid of losing such a good job and were willing to do more.
