Chapter 43

The light snow is beginning to clear up, and the soft sun shines through this sparse forest on the ground with a little ice and snow, making bursts of cold fog rise in the forest land.

More than forty strong men, with iron axes and hacksaws, were walking through the cold fog. Thick and tight snow rabbit leather boots splashed snow on the muddy ground.

At the age of half a hundred, Maureen, whose hair was gray, took a breath of heat into his hand and rubbed his frozen fingers. The snowy air was always very wet and cold.

However, the village leader appointed by Victor was filled with joy and expectation. He knew that the cold and humid water season was about to pass, and the land season of all things' recovery was quietly approaching. These branches still hung with ice and snow have even sprouted buds.

Today, Maureen and his team members have a task to clean up part of the grove, because Lord Victor is going to plan a village on an open space close to the woodland. Around the village, the open area of the land of three arrows must be maintained.

"Start cutting from here! Big guy, make some efforts today and finish it early. I'll invite you to eat hot pot with my work points!" After seeing the distance, Maureen began to ask everyone to work.

"OK!"

"Team leader, keep your word! I want venison pot!"

"Venison? I'm not afraid to kill your animal! You don't have a share in captain Nelson's team to Heibao town this time."

"Ha ha..."

Hearing that the team leader was going to treat the guests to hot pot, all the villagers were excited. This is a delicious food invented by the Lord. It is delicious and warm up, but it can only be tasted at the canteen.

Victor had to open a small canteen. Just a few days ago, when Lilia reported to him about the territory affairs, he was surprised to learn that the work points issued by the camp were as high as more than 100000 in more than a month.

Victor promised that one work point would be exchanged for one copper sol, so Victor needs to pay more than 100000 copper sols to Lingmin. According to the currency exchange ratio of Rand Empire, 36 copper sols are exchanged for 1 silver sols, 36 silver sols are exchanged for 1 gold sols, and more than 100000 copper sols are equivalent to nearly 100 gold sols.

Of course, one hundred gold solviktor can afford it, but the problem is that this is only the work score issued for more than a month. If it still increases at this rate, he will play off.

With the help of Lilia, Victor had to admit that he overestimated his management level and underestimated Lingmin's crazy desire for work points.

The achievements of the camp are obvious to all. In the past 50 days, the camp has erected a two-story eight meter high iron oak fence, built eight arrow towers, and built barracks, warehouses, mills, reservoirs, blacksmith shops, canteens, wine cellars, as well as victor's offices and experimental workshops. In addition, the enthusiastic Lingmin also reclaimed nearly 2000 mu of land and bred nearly 200 ground lizards. They harvested more than 100 ground lizard eggs every day. Recently, stimulated by the reward of Victor team, Lingmin team began to try to breed wild boars, yellow sheep, short tailed deer, and even caught three fast birds! All these achievements are based on the work point system of the production team.

In the human world, the leaders work for the Lord in vain. If the leaders are lazy and slow down, the Lord will teach them a lesson with a whip. Victor scoffs at such a rough management method, and the work point system he implements can be said to be very successful in terms of efficiency. The problem is that Victor did not carefully measure the amount of work points allocated and his actual ability to pay, which caused such an embarrassing situation.

As a lord, Victor now can not rush to exchange work points with his neighbors. What he needs most now is kinsol, because he has begun to produce alchemists.

Victor has about 29000 gold sols left over from the York family. According to the plan, he plans to produce a total of 26000 gold sols, including 15 alchemy auxiliary soldiers, 15 alchemy militia and 10 alchemy crows. Therefore, he has less than 3000 gold sols left on hand. This money is very limited for a lord.

Making money has become his most urgent desire, and before that, Victor must solve the credit crisis caused by the work point problem.

Victor can delay the exchange of work points for copper sol, but not for too long, because when he was on earth, the most annoying thing was to be delayed by his boss.

Therefore, the small canteen opened in the camp.

In the past, three meals a day in the camp were provided by the kitchen free of charge, and the food needs of these hundreds of people were still great. Fortunately, Victor's territory was vast and rich in animal and plant resources. By collecting and hunting, he could basically be self-sufficient. However, the food made by the kitchen tastes very monotonous, only stewing and baking.

The small canteen set up in the camp provides delicious food made by various cooking methods, such as stir frying, steaming, iron plate, stewing and sweet purple sugarcane wine. However, these need to lead the people to get work points in exchange.

Victor wanted to recycle his work in this way.

At the beginning, Lingmin would rather drool outside the small canteen and chew the free food provided by the canteen than enter the small canteen for consumption. After Victor's inquiry, I found out that the collar people actually don't care about the exchange of work points for copper sol. What they really care about is the exchange of work points for fiefdoms.

Victor had to reassure the neighbors that he could get an acre of land after a thousand work points, and the work points could continue to be used. The leading people began to consume in the small canteen.

The experience of the small canteen makes the leading people extremely satisfied. They not only have delicious food to enjoy, but also have a sense of superiority. Because the free people who joined later have no work points to consume.

When dining represents identity and status, the business of the small canteen becomes more and more popular,.

The success of the small canteen made Victor realize that it was not important whether the work points could be exchanged for copper sol, and his credit problem had been solved.

What Victor didn't expect is that the small canteen he founded has become the most high-end place for consumption and communication in the human world decades later. Of course, this is later.

Maureen looked at the hot work of his men, and his heart was also hot.

He spit in the palm of his hand, took up his heavy iron axe and cut down a dwarf tree.

The hard work and vagrant life made Maureen's body a little bent, but he felt full of strength.

Before long, Maureen will become the first village head under the Lord.

Victor's territory is vast, almost 12000 square kilometers. To control such a large territory, only one camp is not enough, so the establishment of villages and roads has become Victor's inevitable choice.

With the participation of some free people, the current population of Victor's Hill camp is close to 500. Although the camp can accommodate these people, Victor believes that more free people will migrate here as the weather warms. In order to absorb more people, Victor decided to build the first village first.

Of course, the main reason is to deal with the chebman family's ambition for this territory. The chebman family, disguised as free people, has effectively controlled the eastern part of the territory. Victor is worried that they will continue to establish free people strongholds around the hill camp in this way. At that time, victor will be trapped in this area by them and lose actual control of the territory.

Therefore, in order to prevent this situation, Victor must first establish villages and strongholds around the hill camp.

Victor chose Maureen as the head of the first village. In this regard, although the other villagers' leaders are extremely envious, they have no objection. Because Maureen is the best carpenter in the camp. Every wooden building in the hill camp is designed and built by Maureen, including those exquisite wooden houses standing on the upper camp.

All the leaders thought that Maureen's good skills made him favored by the Lord, but Maureen knew that he was valued by the Lord because he was good enough.

At first, a total of six people were appointed by Victor as village leaders, but now two village leaders have lost their positions because they began to bully their members with their rights, and then they were reported by the Deputy group leader. As for who reported it, no one can make it clear except the Lord, because the deputy leader is an ordinary villager in turn.

Now, no villager leader dares to brazenly bully his subordinates. Who knows if this guy will make a small report to the Lord after he becomes a deputy leader in the future.

Of course, some bad hearted guys began to use the identity of the Deputy group leader to falsely accuse their group leader in an attempt to replace them. Unfortunately, they were all seen through by the Lord. After being severely whipped, these people were also kicked out of the work point system. This kind of severe punishment has made all people with evil intentions honest.

The leaders did not know how Victor saw through these lies, but they all thought that the LORD was very wise and could not tolerate any deception.

In fact, Victor never believed the contents reported by the deputy team leader. He just recorded the contents of the report and then compared them before and after. Only the contents confirmed by each other will Victor be regarded as facts.

Maureen finally cut off the dwarf tree with a thick bowl. He straightened up, wiped the sweat on his head, and looked around at the work progress of other villagers.

Now the number of villagers in this village group has increased from the initial 20 to 40, because the new free people have also been assigned. However, the enthusiasm of these later members is far less than that of the old team members. After all, they have no work points to get. In order to motivate these people, Victor allows the team leader to recommend a new member with excellent performance to join the work point system every month. Unfortunately, so far, no village leader has recommended Victor, and Maureen is no exception.

Are you kidding? Just because these cheap and lazy free people want to be on an equal footing with us, next life!

For this situation, Victor has no good way for the time being, so is human nature.

Of course, there are also very few free people who work hard and work hard. For example, Maureen has one such new member.

This is a tall and burly man. He is covered with Qiu knot muscles, as if he has endless strength. Ordinary villagers need to chop more than ten times to cut down the thick and thin dwarf trees at the mouth of the bowl. This guy only needs to chop twice. Looking at his relaxed freehand brushwork, everyone believes that he can cut a dwarf tree with only one axe.

The big man hasn't joined Maureen's group for a few days, but his strength and work efficiency make all members pay attention to him, because his work alone is equivalent to the workload of five villagers. Therefore, he was rejected by all the team members. Even Maureen deliberately or unintentionally suppressed him and arranged some heavy and dirty work for him, but he completed the work assigned to him by Maureen without any complaints.

In the face of the sarcasm of other team members, the big man just smiled foolishly, never argued with others, and rarely spoke. Even if someone deliberately talked to him, he couldn't hold a word for a long time. Gradually, everyone understood that the big man was a fool!

This cognition made everyone breathe a sigh of relief, and then everyone's attitude towards the big man changed 180 degrees. After all, the super capable stupid big man made the work of the team members much easier.

With a click, another dwarf tree was cut down by the big man. This is the seventh tree he cut down.

Seeing this scene, Maureen nodded secretly. He has been observing the big man's performance these days. Although he is a little silly, he is really hardworking and down-to-earth. He is a good worker. The most important thing is that he is very obedient and never gives a discount to complete the tasks ordered by Maureen.

Maureen decided to observe the big man for a while. If he had been so obedient and hard-working, he would recommend the big man to join the work point system to Lord victor in a month. It's best to let the big man join his village in the future.

"Big man, stop and have a rest." After the big man cut down 11 dwarf trees, Maureen couldn't help telling him.

The big man is good at everything, but he is a little nervous. If Maureen doesn't tell him to rest, it is estimated that he will work until he finishes the task.

"Team leader, the big man has strength! If you really care about him, let him eat today!" An old member of the group joked bitterly.

Maureen smoked from the corner of his eye. The big man also had a problem that he could eat very much. He ate more food alone than three people. Two days ago, when Maureen was appointed as a substitute village head by Victor, he invited his team members to eat hot pot in the small canteen. As a result, it took him more than 500 work points, of which more than 100 work points of food was killed by the big man alone. At the end, the big man poured the whole pot into his stomach because he wasn't full.....

"With the big man's performance, I'll let him eat today. I don't believe I can't fill his stomach!" Maureen said gnashing his teeth.

They are all people who want to be village heads. How can they be as stingy as ordinary people?

Although it's still painful, Maureen thinks he should have the momentum of the village head. Anyway, his accumulated work points are the highest in the camp, up to more than 10000 points! Most of these were designed by him and rewarded by Victor.

"Ha ha! Let's see how big the big man's belly is today!"

"I bet the big man will eat 300 work points of the team leader alone!"

While everyone was talking and laughing loudly, the big man stood up with a heavy logging axe and shouted, "be careful!"

As soon as the voice fell, a giant rushed out of a bush and faced the unsuspecting crowd.

This is a wild boar with more than 800 pounds. Its blood red eyes, tusks in its long mouth, and arrows inserted in its hind legs and hips clearly tell everyone that it is a wounded and crazy male wild boar!

Without any hesitation, the manic beast roared and rushed to the nearest villagers.

Once a boar goes crazy, it is very terrible. Its strength and weight can easily break the thick dwarf trees at the mouth of the bowl. Its long fangs are enough to pierce people's body. Moreover, it has rough skin and thick meat. It is difficult for ordinary people to kill it at once. Facing such a guy, the best way is to avoid it in advance.

However, the encounter was too sudden. Although the villager had begun to climb and try to avoid the attack of wild boars, it was too late.

Just as everyone scattered around in panic, the big man moved.

In a short moment, the big man crossed a distance of more than ten meters and hit the back neck of the boar with the blunt surface of the logging axe. With a dull sound of "bang", the male wild boar's unstoppable charge suddenly stopped. Its fat and incomparable body was directly crushed on the ground by the huge unparalleled force. It could not even make a whine, but was killed directly.

The big man's attack like the top of Mount Tai stunned everyone.

After a while, the Lingmin, who was only a foot away from the boar's fangs, took the lead in responding. He screamed and climbed out of the room with his hands and feet. He was frightened by what had just happened.

"Well done, big man." Maureen came forward and patted the big man on the shoulder.

"I must tell Lord Victor about your performance. Although you have not joined the camp for a month, I will ask you to officially join my villagers' group. By the way, what's your name?" Maureen admired the big man's bravery, but he was embarrassed to find that he didn't remember the big man's name.

"Team leader, my name is Renault." Said the big man in a muffled voice.
