Chapter 111 111. Work
During this period, Ai Xin spent most of her time studying.
Learn the process of salt drying, learn how to make bricks, learn how to make earth fertilizers, learn urban sanitation management, and build sewage canals.
And of course there is sugar making.
Donglin City is the main sugarcane producing area in the territory, and now is the season for harvest.
Luo Wei taught Ai Xin the method of making brown sugar.
This even includes further filtering steps.
Yellow mud is used to decolorize the syrup, and the large specific surface area of loess in water suspension is used to adsorb and precipitate impurities and pigments in the syrup to produce white sugar and rock sugar.
I don't know if she understood it. The two agreed that if everything went well, he would be able to see the red sugar in about half a month.
"You should calculate the time. Zoe can't bear it any longer." Lodel was not joking.
Ever since she learned that Fortune Castle had launched a variety of new delicacies, Zoe's resentment began to grow, and she kept clamoring to change shifts.
Not as obedient as before!
Lovis thought about sending Caiglan or Triss to quell the situation, but he didn't feel comfortable bringing it up.
Even Zoe was not happy about it, so Triss was easier to deal with.
Do we really have to hand over Aka?
"Limit Breaker, isn't it too much of a luxury to be your maid?" The corners of Lodel's mouth raised slightly.
"No rush, not for now." Lowe said perfunctorily.
"What exactly do you want to arrange?" Lodel tried to find out what Lovey was thinking.
"If it really doesn't work, I'll just live over there." Lovey said helplessly.
"Are you crazy? Don't you know how cold it is in winter?" Lodel raised her voice.
"You can stop following me." Lowe said angrily.
"Hey! I'm kindly reminding you, don't think you'll freeze to death first." Lodel curled her lips in disdain.
Lowe lowered his head and quickened his pace.
With his speed, there is no way he can get rid of this clingy creature unless he flies on a magic carpet.
I have to admit that, thanks to Lodel's unremitting efforts, Lovi rarely talks to the maid recently. She is like an invisible wall, a social barrier.
Luo Wei's mind raced as he thought about a way out of the situation: "If you don't take care of Xiaolong, Xiaolong and Mixia will grow up together in the future. I wonder how you can still be a dragon knight."
Lodel's brows unconsciously gathered together: "You want to drive me away? Your intention is too obvious, you think I will be fooled? So what if I don't want to be a dragon knight? I am happy if you never look for another woman in your life."
"Okay, if you have the guts, give me the dragon first." Lovi stretched out his hand to her.
"It's not impossible, but if anyone else dares to say this except you, don't blame me for being angry." Lodel said coldly.
Lovey led his men upstream along the sewer.
Now that the construction has been underway for more than half a month, there is still no sign of completion. The length and depth of the project are far from ideal.
It is roughly the size of a small ditch, long enough for a child to step over, and just deep enough to reach an adult's knees.
Such a project is meaningless! Lowe went to the person in charge to question him.
Davian said that he and the workers had tried their best to dig, and many shovels had been broken. However, the soil in some places was too hard, so the progress was not ideal.
"How long do you estimate it will take?"
“At least by the end of the year.”
“I can’t wait that long”
Luo Wei decided to add more people. After the autumn harvest, many people were idle, and now was the perfect time to assign work.
Digging canals, 10 copper pence a day, food included! The news was soon announced in the Square of the Executive Hall.
The number of citizens who signed up was unexpectedly enthusiastic.
Including the elderly and children, as long as the age is not too outrageous, Lowe will not refuse anyone. The salary fluctuates according to the physical condition, and the minimum is not less than five copper pennies.
No one was dissatisfied.
But as a lord, Lowe needs to think long-term.
His original purpose of using the elderly and children was simply to benefit the disadvantaged groups.
In such a world of low productivity, there is no such thing as free benefits. The greatest benefit is a job.
Only work can get you paid! It seems natural to people. In fact, digging ditches is definitely easier than working on a factory assembly line. At least you don't have to work night shifts, which seriously harms your health.
You can work during the day, be lazy, chat and play, and there is no danger.
Do you think that people will be happy if they just sit and wait to die? Luo Wei looked at the child swinging the shovel with an innocent smile on his face, and his heart suddenly became heavy.
He doesn't want to issue a one-size-fits-all lazy policy.
For example, it only takes a word to issue an order prohibiting the use of child labor under one's rule.
This would indeed protect most children.
However, it also pushes the few people who need to survive into complete despair.
Obviously, not every child has parents to raise them, and a small number of them need to make a living on their own. Work becomes their only way out. However, because of the political correctness of the ruling party, they become victims.
"Master!" Fiona walked to Lovi with a smile and said, "Do you want to get your hair done?"
"Thank you for your help!"
No one knew when Lodel disappeared.
The time for freedom is short.
Luo Wei cherished every second he spent with the maids. He planned to have his hair cut first, and then ask Su Ya to come over and try her massage skills.
Lodel was gone for less than a quarter of an hour before returning with a paparazzi-sized dragon in her arms.
This is a male silver dragon.
The whole body is covered with fine scales like fish scales.
Lodel gave it a name, Anda.
The silver dragon obviously disagreed with the name and shouted in protest.
The quarrel was unbearable, so Lowe had to suggest changing the name, and he suggested several names including Lodel, but Silver Dragon just shook his head and disagreed.
"You're not giving me face!" Lodel was angry, with transparent flames burning on her body.
Xiaolong was trembling with fear, and Luo Wei quickly tried to smooth things over, saying, "Let me come up with one. I've read more books."
Lodel said patiently: "Hurry up and tell me!"
"Xiaobai." Lowe said with a serious expression.
The scene was quiet for a while, and the woman and the dragon both held their stomachs and laughed.
"This is just a nickname!" Luo Wei said he wanted to give it a real name: "Silver Wind."
"This is quite good." Lodel suppressed her smile.
As evening approached, everyone returned to Fulin Castle.
The guard at the gate reported to Lowe that there was a job applicant wanting to see him.
After the call for talents was issued, the response was average, with only a few people coming to try their luck every day.
Lowe hadn't recruited anyone he was satisfied with, but this time it was different.
In the conference room, the panda butler was chatting enthusiastically with the white tiger orc.
Both of them came from the tribal alliance behind the Dragon Tooth Plains, so they were considered fellow villagers.
"Young Master, this orc warrior from the Tiger Tribe is a powerful Limit Breaker." Mosofi took the initiative to introduce him to Lovey.
"Warrior, what's your name?" Lowe sat leisurely in the main seat.
"My lord, I am Georgia." The white tiger orc bowed.
"Mr. Georgia?" Lowe judged from the name.
The white tiger beastman nodded innocently: "I am a man, don't be surprised."
