A market for exchangeable territories?
Is there a market within the territory?
All the slaves spread the news.
"Hey, I saw Lord Sid's notice in front of the tavern, it's for the territory market!"
They're going to open a territory market!
"Is it absolutely necessary to use money? Wouldn't bartering be acceptable?"
Have the rules been released yet?
A child was reading the rules haltingly and even misreading words, and was mercilessly beaten by his mother!
"I told you not to study properly, you even got the territory rules wrong!"
"But Mom, you didn't have much schooling either, you just know a few more words than me!"
!!
His mother's eyes darted around.
"If you don't study hard and even misread the territory rules, you're only making mistakes in front of me. But imagine if you made mistakes in front of the lord, do you think the lord would like you then!"
The child who was being called upon suddenly fell silent, tears welling up in their eyes.
"I don't want my lord to dislike me!"
"Then why aren't you studying hard and learning to read? Although you have good practical skills, what's more important now is that you learn to read, and read more. If you don't take advantage of such a good opportunity, you'll miss it forever! Besides, didn't the lord say that she would personally reward the top three students? Don't you want the lord's reward?"
"I want!"
How can I refuse the lord's reward?
He clenched his fists; he was determined to study hard!
So... the Territory Market is opening!
It is held every Wednesday and Friday evening from 9 PM to 11 PM for two hours after dinner.
Therefore, we need part-time employees for three hours from 8 PM to 11 PM. Those who are interested can apply through Lord Sid. The requirements are that the slaves must be over fifteen years old and meticulous. There are five slaves in total. The payment is three ounces of low-pollution rice per week.
It's a very worthwhile job.
I get off work at 7 PM, and after having dinner from 7 PM to 8 PM, I can go back to work. I work twice a week, for a total of six hours, and I can get three ounces of low-pollution rice in return.
Newcomers from the neighboring territory, who had only been there for a week, all signed up for this part-time job. They've been in the territory for a week now, and it's just as good as they said.
No, it's even better!
The great, beautiful and kind lord, although everyone knows she is a fragile little thing, that doesn't stop everyone from calling her the greatest lord!
Every rule is revised every week based on the actual situation. There is also a suggestion box in the territory. Slaves who have suggestions can put them in the box. Every suggestion that is adopted will be read out in public, and the person who makes the suggestion will be invited to the stage to receive an ounce of low-pollution rice.
Offering suggestions can actually be rewarded!
This is something beyond everyone's comprehension!
You have to understand that in the original viscount territory, they wouldn't dare to offer any suggestions. They could only do the work, and all the rules were determined by the word of the superiors. Unlike Qin territory, where all the rules were stipulated in advance and revised weekly based on the actual situation and suggestions, the revised rules were posted on the bulletin board for everyone to see.
Each squad leader would have someone copy a document to share with their own squad; it seemed like a natural and normal thing to do.
But those who have experienced other territories know how difficult it is to achieve such normalcy!
"Your Lordship is the greatest lord!" countless people murmured in their hearts.
Currently, Wednesdays and Fridays are for market development within the territory. On Saturday nights, we leave work early at 5 PM and then hold a large meeting. The meeting will praise those who did well this week and tell those who did poorly how to improve, or brainstorm ideas from everyone. We will also announce the rankings of each team and individuals, the adoption of suggestions, and distribute rewards.
Oh, and there's also the children's weekly food rations.
They really do pay the food rations to every worker.
So far, everyone cherishes their current job and no one has slacked off.
Having experienced exploitation in other territories, I now understand the lord's generosity!
"Where is the territory market located?"
"There isn't that much open space; it should be in the school playground! Isn't the weekly debriefing meeting held in the playground too?"
"That's good. You've pulled out all the weeds around there, haven't you? Last time, the lord got bitten by a mosquito there. It was a poisonous mosquito, and it swelled up into a huge welt. The lord gave the team in charge of that area a real dressing down!"
"Hmph, that's their fault. They knew the lord was coming and they still didn't clean up properly. If you ask me, if our team had taken on this job, we would have done our job well tonight!"
"That's right. After they were criticized last time, the Minotaur immediately replaced them with another squad, and they even got points deducted! But no one dared to complain! Later, their squad was criticized by other squads. They knew that the lord was a fragile character, so they naturally had to clean up any place the lord was going!"
"That's right, it's all their fault. After the lord was bitten by a poisonous mosquito, a huge bump swelled up, followed by bruising. It was only after Aunt Feng gathered herbs outside and applied them to the lord's wounds for two days that it finally healed!"
"I know about this. It would have been best to apply it for another two days, but the lord thought the herbs smelled too bad, so he refused Aunt Feng's offer!"
"Look, the lights in the territory are on!"
Three electricians were recruited this time and were specifically lured here. A total of five electricians worked every day and finally got the lights back on in the residential area.
Summer days are long, but markets need lights to operate at night, and with winter approaching, the long winter nights are the longest.
The noble and beautiful lord was browsing through the warehouse. They had bought a lot of tents during their last trip to Chaotic Territory. Although they were all second-hand tents, they were the best of the best, sturdy and durable.
Many of the houses in the territory have collapsed, and there are not many usable houses. The residences are still under renovation, and temporary visitors are sharing accommodations with others. Therefore, the kind lord bought back second-hand tents.
"I'm not giving these secondhand tents away for free. Each secondhand tent requires an ounce or two of low-pollution rice! Of course, I'll also throw in a set of pots and pans, and a 2-meter piece of cloth!"
(One tael of rice is 50 grams. As mentioned earlier, in the chaotic situation, one tael of low-pollution rice was sold for one silver coin per jin. One silver coin was equal to 100 copper coins.)
Sid silently calculated in his mind that the lord had bought these second-hand tents for seventy or eighty copper coins each, plus the cloth at 10 copper coins per meter, and the pots, pans, and the time spent traveling back and forth. The lord had made a losing deal this time.
But this is the real lord, a lord with a soft heart.
