Qin Yiyi: She is a noble lord who exploits people.
Slaves: Our lord is a fragile but kind-hearted man. Although he is physically weak, he has a very good conscience.
Basic jobs have started in the territory, and wasteland has begun to be cultivated. There are many vegetables that can be grown in the hot August summer, but... there are no seeds.
After touring several markets, the lord discovered that the land, crops, and grains were all controlled by the nobles, especially the grain seeds.
The rice she bought couldn't be used for seed saving; she had to buy seeds separately. However, the individual seeds were all highly polluted, expensive, and could only grow highly polluted crops. Low-pollution crop seeds simply couldn't be harvested.
Fortunately, she possesses the skill of a culinary master—purification!
Purifying highly polluted food ingredients can also purify highly polluted seeds!
After she purified a bag of seeds, which contained approximately several hundred seeds...
[Ding~ Congratulations on obtaining low-pollution seeds. If you still need to purify them into zero-pollution food, you will need to perform a second purification after the seeds have grown to obtain zero-pollution ingredients!]
Looking at the introduction, Qin Yiyi understood that even as a senior culinary master, she could not purify highly polluted seeds in one step. She could only purify them into low-pollution seeds, and only after they grew could they be purified a second time to become zero-pollution food.
So that's how it is.
However, this is also good. If she grows crops with zero pollution, it will attract a lot of attention. Although low-pollution seeds and crops are rare on private land, they are not particularly isolated cases.
Soon, she had the purified water spinach, lettuce, and Chinese cabbage seeds planted and once again promulgated the rules for territorial slaves.
"In a moment, the ten people whose names are called will come out and work on the land. I will also select ten more people to learn from them. Your performance will be based on a point system from now on. Good performance will earn you points, and bad performance will deduct points. I will have Sid post the details on a big poster in front of the tavern. After reaching a certain number of points, you can choose to receive one pound of vegetables every month! If you are in the top three, the first place will be able to choose four pounds of vegetables from the available varieties, the second place will be three pounds, the third place will be two pounds, and so on!"
The slaves listened attentively, nodding frequently to indicate that they would work hard.
"Don't worry, my lord, we will definitely do our job well!"
Now we not only have rice to eat, but also vegetables!
Before, the beastmen ate wild vegetables, tree bark, and tree roots. They had never eaten anything before. But since following the lord, each family has been given four ounces of rice for two adults, plus two ounces for the two elderly people who also work, making a total of six ounces. If the children are younger, they can share a bowl of rice with them. If the children are over nine years old and can work, they can earn their own share of food.
If they perform well, there are extra rewards. Nowadays, children under nine years old can earn two ounces of rice a week by starting work.
They received low-pollution rice, and the work they did wasn't as much or as strenuous as before. After work, they could go to the lake to catch fish and pick wild vegetables, and the lord wouldn't claim these things as hers or deduct them. In short, life was much better than before!
The fish in the lake are either highly polluted or low-polluted. High-polluted fish can only fill your stomach and will increase the pollution level in your body. However, now that you can eat low-polluted food every day, your body's pollution level has been kept at a good low pollution level. As long as it does not rise above 50%, you will not experience any mental abnormalities.
If they continue living like this, they might even be able to reduce the pollution index to below 30%!
Life always gets better and better.
So, with such a promising life ahead of them, they naturally wanted to invite other friends to share in the good fortune!
"We plan to head to Viscount Alder's territory tonight; we've saved up two ounces of low-pollution rice!"
“Your family doesn’t have any grown-up boys. Your eldest child is already able to earn his own food, and your youngest is only three years old and can’t eat much. You’re better off than us. You’ve saved up two ounces of food in just a few days!”
"We plan to take the rations over to show their group, and get them to come and work for our lord!"
but....
Someone craned their neck to join in the conversation.
"Um...actually, a family can save up enough tax money. Do we need to pay this tax?"
"Even the lord has to pay tribute with tax money!"
this....
"But what if the lord stops letting us work after we pay our taxes? Will he just let other slaves take our place? Besides, the lord also sells food to mercenary groups, and this land will produce vegetables. We can not only be self-sufficient in vegetables but also sell them. All of that is money!"
Lord, you certainly don't lack money!
but.....
They can't live without their lord! If they become ordinary people and don't have the skills of mercenaries, won't they just go back to the way they were before?
Everyone's heart was filled with a myriad of emotions.
One person bluntly stated, "Anyway, I won't pay taxes. I'm afraid of losing this job; I want to remain the lord's slave forever!"
Yes, being a slave is more worthwhile than being a laborer. The working hours are short, you get food while working, and most importantly, you can stay with your family. Nobody wants to give up such a wonderful job.
"It seems we all agree. Let's discuss how to bring the people from the Viscount's territory over!"
Although we are all competitors, we might be discussing how to recruit people because we have gone through hardships together.
"Just pull in your acquaintances. It's easier to talk to acquaintances. If they don't believe you, show them the rice and grain. If that doesn't work, just treat them to a bowl of white rice. If they're freeloaders who don't come after eating, we'll give up on them. They're not our targets!"
"I can ask Lord Sid tomorrow if I recruit someone, and that person then recruits more people, will I still get a reward?"
"Yes, I know this is called developing a downline! It would be great if we could also get a little benefit from each person each downline recruits. We don't need much, just a little, even a small amount of low-pollution rice would be fine!"
It's amazing that we can even dream of such wonderful things now. In the past, we were lucky if we could just fill our stomachs every day, let alone dare to fantasize about such things!
Let's set off tonight!
"Yes! Leave early and come back early, don't be late for work tomorrow! Being late for work will result in points being deducted!"
"Yes, yes, yes! Right now, nothing is bigger than the territory's points system!"
You need points to earn performance points, and performance points are the basis for rewards!
