Chapter 57 57. Village Construction Plan
Lo Wei was too idle. After arranging people to handle all the things around him, his fixed job every day was to judge the people who had committed crimes.
In my spare time, I just talk to Lanlan and take a walk.
No cell phone, no computer, not even a few books. It was so boring. If he didn't have a clear goal, he might have lived a very absurd life.
Nobles in general were like that, shameless and impetuous all day long. Male nobles in particular, without the restrictions of reproduction on their behavior, had no bottom line.
With his hands on the outer wall of the rooftop, Lovey looked up at the blue sky and white clouds.
Today's weather is still good. However, the wind seems to be getting stronger. It may be a sign of a change in the weather.
"Master, the carpenter has been found for you." Lan Lan climbed up to the rooftop, panting.
During the few days they spent together, Luo Wei discovered that the best thing about Lan Lan was that besides being obedient, she was also very efficient. She would never walk if she could run, and she was very fast. This was particularly satisfying! Luo Wei went downstairs and came to the reception room used to receive visitors.
The carpenter was a sturdy man with brown hair. He looked honest and very friendly.
After briefly introducing himself, Agu lowered his head and waited for the lord's instructions.
Lowe simply stated the request.
He wanted thirty-two round chess pieces, or if that wasn't possible square ones would also be fine, and a piece of wood.
The general appearance has been completed through clay sculpture.
Lowe raised his hand and pointed at the table.
Carpenter Agu took a quick look and said, "No problem. When do you want it?"
"The sooner the better."
"I'll make it for you within three days."
Agu didn't ask for money. The Lord of Fulin Castle has always been very trustworthy and never buys things on credit. Even if the people of the territory ask for a little more, he won't say anything.
Usually, the housekeeper or maid will give it to them. If they think it is not enough, they will ask for more. If it is not outrageous, they will probably agree.
The trading leaders will only take the initiative to quote prices when the commodity market is unclear.
Lowe felt it was a bit too slow.
Three days later, he may be busy with other things and may not be in the mood to play chess.
However, Lowe also knew that any handmade product in this world was extremely slow.
Being able to complete it within three days was even the result of the carpenter Agu deliberately showing off his abilities.
"All right!"
With Lovey's approval, the carpenter Agu said goodbye and left.
Lan Lan looked at the clay chess pieces, blinked curiously, and forced herself not to ask.
Taking advantage of the hot weather at noon, Lowe wanted to go swimming in Moon Lake.
Of course this was impossible. Lan Lan tried desperately to stop him, "Master, don't do this."
"It's so annoying, Lanlan." Luo Wei's struggle was not as strong as Lanlan's, and he was dragged aside in a few seconds.
"The housekeeper said that boys can't show their bodies in public." Lan Lan said seriously.
"What if I want to swim?"
"I can fill the bath for you."
“This is boring.”
Lovey looked at the crystal clear Moon Lake with regret, and turned back unwillingly.
In the afternoon, the cloth shop brought in seven kinds of water-permeable cloth.
Lowe tried them one by one and found that they all had a certain degree of water permeability. Next, he needed a wooden frame, and then after the bark was soaked, he could carry out the final test.
Everything was ready, and Lowe checked the soaked bark again to make sure it was not lost.
Lan Lan squatted down and said, "Master, how long does it take to soak the bark before it can be eaten?"
"Tree bark is not edible, don't think about eating everything!" Lovey called two guards and sent them to get some more tree bark in bamboo baskets.
Next, he turned his attention to building a waterwheel.
An entire afternoon was spent shaping the model on a clay plate.
Lowe's heart was filled with a sense of accomplishment.
Yes, that's how it should be. Thanks to the mental power to help shape the body, otherwise, he would have no choice.
Let's call all the craftsmen in the city to a meeting tomorrow, Lovey decided happily.
"Young Master!" Scholar Bruno, followed by two young men in linen clothes, walked into the reception room.
Lowe raised his eyes and looked at the three people.
Scholar Bruno cleared his throat and said, "In view of the fact that the financial situation of the territory has improved, I need to recommend two young people to you."
Bruno first raised his hand to introduce a skinny young man with chestnut hair: "Lars, my student. He has rich experience in government affairs. He is good at writing, counting, and handling disputes among the people."
Then, Bruno raised his hand and introduced another sturdy black-haired young man: "Davian, a second-level strength, good at swordsmanship, and also a spellcaster. He is a friend of Lars!"
Luo Wei nodded slightly and said hello: "Hello, I have a problem that I need to solve now."
"Please go ahead." Lars and Davian both bowed at the same time.
The exquisite clay model in front of Lowe's desk has been noticed by several people. "Where do you think the model on my desk is used and what is it used for?"
Lars cast a curious look: "Would it be convenient for me to take it and have a look?"
"Go ahead." Lowe looked at the three people gathered around the plate.
Yes, the white-haired scholar Bruno also has a strong desire to explore.
Such beautiful and philosophical architectural lines seem to contain huge secrets.
For a moment, everyone fell into deep thought.
"My Lord, can this wheel turn?" Davian asked.
Lovi didn't hide it, "Okay."
"My Lord, this device is used for grinding, right?" Davian asked again.
"Yes." Lowe once again gave an affirmative answer.
There was silence for a few seconds, and Davian continued, "This kind of machinery should use water power to work, reducing the consumption of livestock's energy."
"Very good." Lowe couldn't help but look at the young man named Davian with admiration. "I am going to build this kind of hydraulic equipment now, and I need a person in charge. Please come over tomorrow morning."
"Yes!" Davian looked excited.
Lovi turned his gaze to Lars: "Lord Bruno is already very old and needs an assistant to help with things. I will give you a longer probation period."
"I will definitely not let you down." Lars raised the back of his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead.
Bruno smiled when he saw that Lowe had accepted the two men. "Master, I came to you not only to recommend them, but also to report something to you. Recently, many vagrants have applied to me to become my subjects. Everyone is very concerned about this matter."
"I'd like to hear what you think first," Lowe said calmly.
"I suggest that you set up a few new villages to settle the refugees and increase the utilization rate of land," Bruno suggested.
Lovi thought for a moment: "It takes more than a day to get from Fulin Castle to Huange Town, and there are no towns or villages for transit. A lot of land is abandoned, so just stay over there. Bruno, you take people to repair the road first, and promise to issue temporary household registration before next year."
