Chapter 61 Treatment of Craftsmen
Artisans survived in the city's workshops and were not allowed to own land.
This is not Lowe's rule, but the balance tacitly accepted by the rulers of most territories.
The reason is that the average income of the artisan group is several times or even more than that of ordinary farmers.
Even in years of famine, craftsmen with special skills live better than ordinary people.
The saying that a craftsman will never starve to death is not an idle saying. After the meeting, everyone dispersed.
Luo Wei arrived at the restaurant in advance and saw the blonde angel Mixia with her eyes covered by a white veil. He naturally went over to ask, "How have you been recently? Is there anything you need?"
"Master, thank you for giving me the interrogation task, otherwise I really don't know what to do." Mixia lowered her head and timidly clutched the hem of her skirt.
People around you have completely different attitudes towards having a decent and important job and having no job.
During the time she arrived at Fulinbao in advance, no one talked to her almost every day. She was alone there, feeling lost and helpless.
Occasionally I heard people talking, and no one understood the significance of the young master bringing back a blind girl.
If she was to be a maid, the blind girl was obviously not qualified. Was she to be kept as a pet? Later, Lord Evelyn took her in as an apprentice, and the situation improved a little.
Spellcasters are feared and feared. No one dares to gossip about them.
However, no one would approach her anymore.
After Lady Evelyn left, she meditated every moment. Only by immersing herself in the spiritual world could she forget the pain.
However, we must face the reality. In a world without light, if a person is alone for too long, he will inevitably feel a sense of fear.
Misha sometimes heard some whispers.
She couldn't hear what he was saying, maybe it was just an illusion. He appeared repeatedly when she was most helpless.
Lowe is back.
She has her own work arranged for her. Although she is a little busy every day, she is very happy.
The interpersonal relationships in Fulinbao also returned to normal.
At first, someone would provide her with some help in life, and someone would help clean her room. The loneliness gradually faded away. The murmurs also disappeared. Luo Wei noticed the slight worry between Mi Xia's eyebrows: "When you are fine in the future, you can come and play with Lan Lan."
"Ah!" Lan Lan pricked up her ears as she was distracted: "Master, are you calling me?"
"Are you tired of standing? Do you want to sit down and rest for a while?" Lovey said with a smile.
"Thank you, young master." Lan Lan sat down on the stool in the corner without hesitation. She was really tired of standing. According to regulations, maids were not allowed to sit down and rest during their shifts.
The butler Mossof had repeatedly stressed: "No maid can sit still all the time. The lord has hired you at a salary ten times higher than that of an ordinary person, so you should behave properly. Be respectful and wait for the lord to summon you at all times."
However, as long as the young master asked to sit down, there would be no problem. After all, sometimes you have to hurry and need to rest for a while to replenish your energy. Lan Lan's mood fluctuated.
It's so tiring to stand all day! It's so hard to be a maid! "Lanlan, you can play with Mixia in the future."
"Master, I'm a proper maid! Not a child!"
"Don't you get bored standing every day?"
"Yeah, a little bit. But as long as I'm working I don't get bored."
The lunch bell rang. Cook Am started serving the meal on time. Lovi put fish soup, white bread and steak on the table.
The restaurant was very quiet today, with only Lovey and Misha dining.
The rest of the people were nowhere to be seen. Lodel and Zoe had gone out hunting early in the morning.
Although it was not yet the time for autumn hunting, we needed more prey for the afternoon banquet, so we set out anyway.
I had originally thought about hunting a big wild boar or bear, but by noon I had only managed to catch a few rabbits and voles.
Some large prey fled after seeing humans. No chance was given. "I should have brought the ice wolf out earlier." Lodel was irritated and stamped his feet.
In the past few years, this area was still a good place to get good prey. Now it is basically hard to get any chance. You can only go further away to get something.
"Let's go back." Zoe looked at the sky.
The sun is already overhead, and if we don’t go back in time we might miss the dinner.
Lodel reluctantly agreed.
At noon of the same day, the butler Mo Sufei hid in the shade of a tree near the quarry, leisurely eating bamboo.
Building a large oven is not a very complicated thing. Under his supervision, it is almost completed.
The whole structure was built with hundreds of stone slabs, costing a total of three gold reongs and twenty-seven silver dollars.
Funds were funded directly from Evelyn's coffers and therefore were under her supervision.
"Butler, have you done it? Are you reliable?" Evelyn appeared behind Mosophie at some point and grabbed his ears.
"Oh my, Madam, be gentle, this is what Master Lowe told me."
"Can you open the furnace in the afternoon? I don't have time to waste."
"Wait a few more days."
"Why do we have to wait a few days? I want it this afternoon!"
The panda butler was hit hard twice by Evelin and held his head without moving.
Evelyn didn't go too far: "Mosophie, why did you choose such a remote location? It takes an hour to get back to Fort Fortune! Aren't you tired?"
“There is a very good quality coal mine here! The stonemasons found it underground after mining the stones, so it will be more convenient to use in the future.
Besides, the young master said that refining coke causes a lot of pollution." Mo Suofei explained seriously.
Evelyn frowned. “If the coke is really important, how can we manage it if it’s so far away?”
"Or let's hand it over to the blacksmith's workshop!" suggested Mosophie.
"Don't hand it over to those people. Why should we hand over our technology to them?" Evelyn was a little excited.
Those old craftsmen were selfish and self-centered, which had caused a lot of trouble for the construction of the territory. She still holds a grudge against them.
Mosuofei shook his head and sighed, if this coke technology could be popularized.
For the entire blacksmith industry, this will undoubtedly be the biggest shock in history. Some blacksmiths' methods of raising the furnace temperature, which they cherished, will become useless. Of course, Mossoffe could not have predicted the consequences of the large number of ironware. In Donggang City, new news appeared on the bulletin board in the city center square.
In just a few minutes, more and more people gathered around.
The scholar who was responsible for updating the announcement read the above content again: hiring labor to build the canal for a period of one month, and the reward was two silver dollars.
The number of participants is limited to 500 people. "The reward is a bit low!"
"The lord is not wealthy, so it's good enough that he doesn't have to force people to work."
People urged the scholars to read the second announcement.
"Recruiting 20 apprentices for the pottery workshop. Those under 12 years old and without land are preferred."
