At dawn, the sun began to rise slowly after five o'clock. The high temperature of over forty degrees Celsius for several consecutive days in summer made everyone suffer from the heat. Fortunately, there were two electricians among the orcs who came. Not to mention the electricity at night, they repaired the circuits in the territory that had been abandoned before. They found several old cabinet air conditioners in the abandoned houses and installed them in the tavern and the inn. At noon, a wall-mounted air conditioner that could barely be used was installed in the central rest area.
Of course, the lord's house is cool and comfortable throughout.
After all, orcs can withstand the heat, while fragile pure-blooded humans cannot.
We're still severely understaffed!
However, the esteemed Lord Yiyi spotted a large, dark mass approaching through her telescope early this morning. Most were the native orcs of the territory, and the rest were...
Haha! More laborers are coming!
The lord is very pleased!
This time, she was given a total of more than thirty orcs. Although the number was not as large as last time, she knew very well that last time it was because her own children brought back their parents. This time, she was able to get more than thirty by inviting relatives and friends, which was quite good.
The other orcs came here with suspicion, but once they arrived, they discovered that this territory was different just by its appearance!
Looking at the neat stone-paved road, the vintage cars parked on the side of the road, and the dedicated sidewalks and driveways, these are things that even the Viscount's territory has not planned!
And the old town has been renovated, freshly painted, with trees providing shade and cacti blooming with flowers next to the houses and on the sidewalks!
"This place is so beautiful and clean!"
A little girl hid behind her mother, gazing at the small but complete territory in front of her.
At this moment, they were half convinced of the treatment this territory would provide.
The orcs who brought these people back felt very proud as they looked at the astonished expressions on these people's faces.
Every brick and tile in this territory was laid by them according to the lord's requirements!
"This is our territory, Qin Territory. At night, these two characters are lit up. Look at the environment of our territory, and you'll know I wasn't lying to you!"
Bear Cub's mother was in charge of registration and filing. As soon as she saw people coming, she quickly went to greet them.
"How many people came? How many are young and middle-aged? Are there any elderly people or children? If so, you need to report them separately!"
Upon hearing this, several children shrank back behind their mothers to hide themselves.
Several families asked nervously, "Don't you accept the elderly and children?" They knew that many territories wouldn't accept people who had no labor power. In their last territory, they had to halve their rations to get a place to live, but they were already starving, and halving their rations would make them even more hungry! So they decided to follow them to their previous territory.
They dared not even dream of the idea that young adults could receive two ounces of low-pollution rice for working, and that the elderly and children could also receive low-pollution rice for their work. They were already grateful if young adults could get low-pollution rice.
"It's not that we don't accept elderly people and children, it's just that elderly people and children need to register separately to work!"
A child ran over.
The new laborers could see clearly that the child was wearing shorts and a short-sleeved shirt, which were washed until they were faded, but they were very clean. Even his hair was neat and tidy. He was even brushing his teeth with homemade toothpaste and a toothbrush!
"Children over fifteen years old can work and receive two ounces of low-pollution rice, just like young adults. However, children aged nine to fifteen and elderly people over fifty years old can only receive one ounce of rice!"
"But the work won't be too strenuous!"
Bear Cub's mother nodded.
"That's right, because the jobs are different, our registration is different too. By the way, you need to show your ID card. You can't lie about your age! The lord doesn't like people who lie about their age! If you're caught, you'll be expelled from the territory!"
"In addition, children aged five to nine can work half a day and study half a day. Studying is free, and work is paid weekly, with two ounces of low-pollution rice per week!"
"What! Children this young can work and earn food? And they can even go to school?"
Everyone who came whispered among themselves, wondering if they were just being tricked with empty promises once they arrived at the territory!
But after a series of events, they felt it wasn't a scam; it really seemed like they had arrived in paradise.
"It's six in the morning now, and you still have three hours to start work. Let me explain the rules of the territory to you first. If you're willing to work hard, you'll be officially hired after the probation period and will be able to enjoy performance bonuses and rewards!"
"There's a trial period?"
"Of course, a one-month trial period is normal in our territory! We definitely can't hire anyone who tries to cheat or shirk their duties!"
"By the way, the lord doesn't like unclean people. You can't even take a bath once a week at Alder's place, right? It's summer now, and the smell is too strong! Come with me and take a bath and scrub yourself clean!"
The makeshift bathhouse was simply covered with sheet metal on all sides and top, with a tap inside that brought in water from the well so you could take a shower as soon as you turned it on, but there was no hot water.
However, the fact that there was cool water when the tap was turned on was already a pleasant surprise for these people. The temperature was already 35 or 36 degrees Celsius at a little after 6 o'clock, and it was two degrees higher because of the metal sheet covering. The orcs were tough and not afraid of the cold water at all. Even five or six-year-old children would not catch a cold after taking a bath in cold water.
Of course, aside from the fact that fragile, useless pureblood humans need to take hot baths or they'll catch a cold.
The shower room has four rows of twenty seats, and two groups take turns showering.
"There's no need to conserve water for bathing. We have wells in Qin territory that connect to lakes, so there's enough water. But you must wash thoroughly, otherwise the lord won't hire you as her slaves if he sees you as unclean!"
"The lord's slaves must be completely clean!"
These thirty people chose to become slaves because they had no other choice. The rest of the people wanted to come when they heard about the treatment, but they fell silent and shook their heads when they heard about being slaves.
They won't force anyone; in short, it's a blessing for anyone to become the lord's slave!
Unfortunately, these people can't hold onto their good fortune, so they won't force it!
"Once you've earned enough food and have enough to eat, you can save up your food to exchange for money to buy some supplies for yourself!" Otherwise, the whole family doesn't even have a towel for washing their face and taking a bath. They use their washed clothes to dry themselves and then put on the only other set of clothes they have to change into.
Although they came here to be slaves, they heard that the rations they received were more than those for laborers, and they could see very clearly that the children around here were not only clean, but also had chubby cheeks!
