Chapter 80 Mining Permit
Seeing Xueyue's determined gaze, Richard's heart stirred slightly.
He initially sent the maids into the realm of the extraordinary simply to give them some basic self-defense capabilities.
Surprisingly, the girls' awareness far exceeded his expectations.
Celia and Nicole, in particular, entered the realm of the extraordinary earlier because they possessed extraordinary foundations.
He then eagerly followed Karl to learn basic swordsmanship and combat skills, as if he had found a hobby and now spends all his time in the training ground practicing non-stop.
The two of them chopped down dozens of the round wooden stakes that were specifically meant for the militiamen to practice on, and eventually used them as firewood.
Since the mine opened, the two of them have been pestering him relentlessly, saying they want to go down with the task force for training.
At first, Richard was worried about their safety and was reluctant to let them go down. He couldn't bear to see anything go wrong.
result...
Two little devils drained him all night, squeezing out all the supplies he had painstakingly accumulated, before he finally obtained the "mining permit".
And just last night.
After Martha, Susan, and Betty successfully entered the extraordinary realm by eating Iridium Star crops, they also joined in the fun.
She said she wanted to emulate Celia and Nico, and that once she finished her daily household chores, she wanted to start training in combat skills.
Seeing the girls' high spirits, Richard couldn't bear to dampen their enthusiasm, so he simply agreed.
Otherwise, even if he had an iron kidney, he wouldn't be able to withstand three attacks at once.
Richard had thought it through. He would wait until they were exhausted from fighting in the mine, then throw them on the bed and give them a good beating to make up for it.
They're all your spouses, so as long as their demands aren't too unreasonable, just let them be. As long as they're happy.
Maybe in the future we can organize some sword fights or pillow competitions in the boudoir at night, and whoever wins gets to squeeze the master's juice.
so...
Everyone is satisfied...
...
Only Lina was sullen.
As the head maid, she had to help Richard handle all the trivial matters in the territory, and simply didn't have any extra time for training.
To appease her, Richard spent the night alone with her and promised to give her a surprise in a while before she finally fell into a deep sleep, completely satisfied.
Although Xueyue also stepped into the extraordinary realm last night, she did not make a similar request.
Firstly, she had just joined and was hesitant to make demands; secondly, she was somewhat timid, and Richard assumed she was afraid to fight, so he didn't ask her.
Who would have thought...
Richard looked down at Xueyue in his arms, gently stroked her little nose with his fingertips, his eyes full of doting affection, and agreed to her request.
then.
The two cuddled in the hall for a long time, enjoying a brief but comforting moment of tenderness.
Richard then left the lord's manor to check on the inventory of supplies; otherwise, if he stayed any longer, his kidneys would suffer again.
...
...
The open space outside the wall.
More than thirty carriages were neatly arranged, and more than fifty caravan guards stood with their hands at their sides. Im was holding a list and carefully checking each carriage.
"How's the inventory going?"
Richard stepped forward, his gaze sweeping over the mountain of supplies.
Im saw him arrive.
He immediately bowed and reported.
"Return to my lord."
"The inventory is almost complete, and it basically matches the list. The quality of the goods is quite good, and there are no cases of adulteration or inferior goods being passed off as superior ones."
Oscar quickly stepped forward and bowed in greeting.
"Please rest assured, my lord, I personally selected all the goods. This is our first collaboration, so I dare not be negligent in the slightest."
Richard neither confirmed nor denied it.
He walked to a carriage, lifted the tarpaulin, and saw that the pottery jars inside were neatly stacked and wrapped in wheat straw. He nodded in satisfaction.
This batch of goods consists of everyday necessities such as sewing kits, small tin stew pots, tanned cow and sheep hides, small scissors, hemp ropes, and leather boots.
His idea was to take a few items of each kind of material and put them into a basic living supplies package, which would then be exchanged for serfs.
otherwise.
Calculating work points for each of these scattered necessities would require both assessing their value and registering them, which would be a waste of energy and would exhaust a lot of brain cells.
Let's just cut it off: 40 work points can be exchanged for one supply pack, limited to one per person.
of course.
Before that, they needed to spend forty work points to exchange for a stone house; otherwise, they would have nowhere to put the supplies they exchanged.
After redeeming the stone house and supply pack, you can get 40 more work points to become a free citizen.
After becoming free citizens, their special positions were converted into employment relationships, and they were then provided with food and wages.
This promotion system only applies to the current serfs. When he first stepped into the Chiffon Wasteland, he decided that he would spare the lives of those who followed him to reclaim the wasteland.
Whether they were lucky or it was fate, Richard didn't want to mistreat them, but the prerequisite was that they had to prove themselves.
The reason for setting it at forty work points was that it would take about four months in total, which would be mid-autumn.
Chiffon is about to snow, and without a house, they can't go on without it. They need to save up some money in advance to buy firewood or charcoal, or purchase winter heating services.
For serfs who joined later, it was more difficult to get promoted unless they were particularly diligent and hardworking.
The arrangement that would have granted a special post for winning an Outstanding Work Award for three consecutive days will be changed to a cumulative total of thirty awards.
In short.
We must leave an upward path for those who come after us.
...
The reason for purchasing daily necessities from merchants in advance was twofold: firstly, to give the serfs a good look.
I'm all set, just waiting for you guys to work hard and get things going, so as to have a motivating effect.
Secondly, it takes less than four months for the militia to be promoted to free civilians.
In addition to a little extra work points each day, they can also participate in the mining team and earn a lot of work points, which should be enough in about a month and a half.
At last.
Becoming a free citizen is not the limit; Richard plans to set up another level above free citizens.
-- Chiffon Citizen.
This level primarily targets the families of military personnel, who will enjoy certain privileges, including half-taxation and access to public services provided by Chiffon at discounted prices.
For example:
In winter, they will be given firewood and charcoal supplies for free. If a bathhouse is opened in the future, they can also purchase monthly subscription services at a low price.
Most importantly...
—Allow the purchase of life-sustaining food at low prices.
If this policy is implemented, free citizens will definitely be eager to join the army and replenish Chiffon's reserves.
...
In addition to these, the supplies delivered by the Ferret Trading Company included 1,000 kilograms of rye, ten barrels of ale, and 100,000 kilograms of linen and wool allocated by Brad.
Linen cloth was given to serfs so they could have two more sets of clothes to change into, while wool was used to sew quilts, and a little of it would be added to their rations.
Richard ordered the caravan to move all the goods to the warehouse entrance at their camp and begin unloading.
There's definitely not enough room to store all these things. After the caravan leaves, most of them will have to be moved to the first level of the mine.
Each mine shaft covers about thirty acres, and leaving them empty is a pure waste.
In addition to the goods, fifty serfs were also delivered this time.
I saw them.
Richard frowned.
