Chapter 38 Freedom! (Please read! Please recommend!)
Chapter 38 Freedom! Among the characteristics of the Sky Garden, what surprised Bruno the most was not only the improvement in work efficiency and the increase in food harvest, but also the scope of application of the wonder characteristics.
Any area ruled by the Stuart family will be affected by the magical characteristics of the Hanging Gardens!
In other words...if one day, the Stuart family's ruling area is not limited to the Idar Territory, then the Sky Garden's bonus buff will also radiate to any place actually controlled by Stuart.
After all, no matter how lazy Bruno is, he is still a time traveler, and he can't lose face as a time traveler.
"My lord...my lord?"
Bruno was thinking when he heard someone calling him from behind.
When I turned around, it turned out to be Shabi.
"Sir, what are you thinking about? You've been staring into the distance for a long time..."
"Nothing," Bruno said perfunctorily. As he was speaking, he seemed to smell something and asked, "What is that smell on you? It's weird..."
"Uh..." Shabi hesitated for a moment and said, "My Lord, I am Idar's shit shoveler after all, so I went to shovel the shit myself this morning..."
After that, he even picked up his clothes and smelled them carefully: "There's no strange smell..."
Bruno's face suddenly fell, and he said with a dark face: "Go away... I don't want to see you..."
"master……"
Shabi wanted to say something else, but he didn't expect Sam Layton to appear from behind him, give Shabi a bear hug, and lift him up.
"I'll ask him to get out right now..." Sam Layton said in a mean way.
When Shabi was carried away by Sam Layton, Bruno gradually felt that the air around him was becoming fresher. He took a deep breath and was filled with the fragrance of flowers and plants...
As for what the system mall is, although Bruno is extremely curious, now is not the time to delve into it.
After all, everyone was looking at him eagerly! Idar's officials were waiting to praise their own hanging garden, while the craftsmen and serfs who built this wonder were happily waiting for the rewards they were about to give.
Except for the people who were responsible for building the sky garden, many people present were visiting the sky garden for the first time. They were almost stunned when they saw a building of such a scale.
When have these natives from another world ever seen such a wonder?
Not to mention them, in fact even old Ford, since the moment he entered the garden, felt that this was a miracle of nature's craftsmanship.
Before this, he just thought it was a waste of money and didn't know why such a huge expense occurred.
But at this moment, seeing so many statues, fountains, flowers and trees interspersed with each other, and the exquisite scenery, all shocked him. He felt that if he did not consider the money piled up in this garden, it was indeed an architectural wonder that could be famous throughout the eastern part of the empire.
Bruno sat at an open-air marble table and chairs, first quietly listening to the compliments and congratulations from the officials and nobles.
When the time was right, these unimportant officials and nobles of Idar City were sent away and asked to return to their posts.
Bruno was preparing to reward the serfs, civilians, craftsmen and officials who were present to build the Hanging Gardens.
Bruno had previously assigned a supervisor to each production team;
There were fourteen production teams, of which eight were the first batch of recruits, all of which were composed of serfs.
There were six production teams in the second batch of recruitment. One team was composed of fifty believers, three teams were composed of serfs living in the city of Idar, and the remaining two teams were composed entirely of civilians who were idle at home during the winter.
The hooligans... Oh no, it was the production team composed of believers who did the most work, and at the same time consumed the least gold coins. They came from behind, doing the heaviest work, and eating the least food, just for the faith in their hearts.
Bruno only hopes that there will be more production teams like this...
And now it is finally time to fulfill the promise Bruno once made.
"Where's Claire?"
"Master, I'm here!" Claire responded quickly.
Bruno nodded at him and said, "Claire and his third production team ranked first in total work points. According to my previous promise, twenty serfs from the third production team can be pardoned and become civilians in Idar!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Claire felt as if he was dreaming: "Master...you...you mean we can be released as civilians?"
"That's right! Just like I promised..." Bruno smiled.
"However, there are only 20 of us. Later, the supervisor will rank the 20 people who have made the most contributions based on the contributions of each person in your production team, and will hand out the results to each of you. If anyone has objections, or thinks that they have made a greater contribution, then you have three days to present your opinions to me or Old Ford."
"The second place is the seventh production team, where fifteen serfs can remove their shackles and be released as civilians."
"Ranked third is the Fourth Production Team. You will get ten spots to become civilians."
A lowly serf... could actually become a commoner again through his own labor! The serfs present were shocked. Even though Bruno had promised it before, they were still skeptical. After all, this was something they had never heard of before.
And today, on the day when the Sky Garden was officially completed, the Earl of Idar actually kept his promise! For the first time, they realized that the life of a free man... was not so far away from them.
Although Bruno had said before that the serfs who were freed as civilians could not leave the Idar territory and the land ruled by the Stuart family, this restriction was completely unnecessary for these serfs, whose farthest place they had ever been was the city of Idar, which was more than ten kilometers away from their homes.
Claire was filled with joy, clenching his fists tightly. He had finally waited for this day! In addition to these serf production teams, the other production teams also had their own rewards. Bruno had already made a rough arrangement of the specific rewards in the winter, so there was no rush, but the division was in an orderly manner.
In addition to the production teams, the civilians in charge of logistics escort and road transportation received several or even dozens of copper coins in addition to their fixed monthly salary. It was said to be called... bonus? The civilians didn't care what the copper coins were for. As long as they were really paid, it was a good thing.
Therefore, the common people were very grateful to Bruno and felt that there was no noble lord more sympathetic to the common people than Bruno.
