No wonder these people were shocked, who had ever heard before that a lord would pay for a lord to exchange farm tools for his lords?

The land belongs to the lord, and the inhabitants in the territory are fundamentally the lord's, and there are so many inhabitants, who does the lord care about the life or death of the inhabitants?

As long as the taxes are collected regularly, the lord will not care so much.

But Don En, the lord, was unusual, and after taking office, he didn't scavenge fiercely, but threw a lot of money out!

One thousand two hundred and thirty-two households!

One gold coin per household!

That's 1,232 gold coins! In a word, it was thrown out!

Your lord, don't you treat gold coins as gold coins!

Everyone was shocked, and then, followed by crazy cheers!

"Long live your lord!"

"Long live Donne-sama!"

Even though the subsidy is only for the farmers, in fact the farmers in Ellington are closely related to each other, and they know each other very well, and besides, the farmers' tools are changed, the efficiency is high, the harvest is good, and the price of food will naturally fall, and they can also get tangible benefits.

Fiona looked at Don with a complicated expression, although he didn't know how to manage finances, but he was very good at how to make the residents of the territory more united, especially in just a few days, almost all of Donn's initiatives were beneficial to the civilians of Ellington, which was almost unimaginable before.

The first thing that every lord in other places did when he took office was to erase the traces left by his predecessor, and then to strengthen his rule and strengthen his armed forces to suppress the rebels, but Don did the opposite, which is simply ......

But Fiona had to say that Donn's methods were very effective.

Today's announcement of the acquisition of mint grass alone has put a smile on everyone's face in Ellington.

As long as you are willing to work, you can get an income, is there a more popular guarantee than this?

After more than an hour of busyness, Fiona and the others were able to complete the purchase of all the mint grass, but this is not the end, there are still many mint grasses by the Emerald River, and I am afraid that they will not be able to collect them in the next month.

"How many were acquired?"

“…… More than two tons of mint grass. ”

Fiona flipped through her notebook to find the unit.

Tang En raised his eyebrows: "On average, each person picked a kilogram?" ”

"No, there are only more than 400 people today, which is equivalent to more than two kilograms collected per person. With today's news, tomorrow could usher in explosive growth. ”

Fiona frowned slightly: "The mint grass has been transferred to the warehouse, but it has been collected, I'm afraid it won't be long ago, when will you be able to make these into mints?" ”

"Who said it was all mints?"

Tang En raised his eyebrows: "Let's extract peppermint essential oil first...... Tomorrow you start recruiting temporary workers, I will train in a unified manner, and the day after tomorrow you will start working in the warehouse, ten silver coins a day, what is the price? ”

"Ten silver coins a day!?"

Fiona abruptly raised her tone: "Even in Alinkes, ordinary workers don't have such high salaries!" Five silver coins are enough! ”

"Five silver coins?"

Don smiled: "If it was before, I'm afraid they would still be happy, but after today......"

Fiona thought about it, five silver coins is the income of five kilograms of mint grass, and you don't need to learn to collect mint grass, just start collecting, when you don't know if you can make money this afternoon, they have collected so much, and they will have to dig desperately tomorrow?

"Ten silver coins, it's really not much, but this work is also a technical ......job," Don mused, "limit the recruitment of workers to adults, or teenagers and girls, and give priority to those who are struggling and have no other means of earning a living." ”

"Okay, how many people do you want?"

"Tentatively ten, the specific amount depends on how much mint grass can be harvested tomorrow...... By the way, take the time to make an official document for the promotion of mint grass planting, telling them that the purchase of mint grass is a long-term job, and if you are willing to plant, you can come to the lord's mansion to report, you can divide some land for them to plant mint grass, and the tax can be appropriately lower. ”

"I see."

"Also, have the guards counted their reward amounts?"

Don remembered assuring the members of the guard that he would reward the bandits with gold when they were done, but he had been busy since he returned, and he hadn't paid attention to it since he threw it to Fiona.

"It's been counted, and I'm about to tell you."

Fiona sighed: "You spend money too hard, casually say this, that is, thousands of gold coins have been spent, and they will be sent to them after the recruitment is over tomorrow." ”

"I think it's worth it, at least they're motivated now, aren't they?"

Don smiled and said, "And in the future, they will need to help defend Ellington, and how can they run if they want to run and not give the horses grass." ”

"It's enough to have you......"

Fiona muttered, if Donn's strength is all on display, who else would dare to fight Ellington's idea?

"That's all for the time being, I'll work overtime at night, get all the stills out, move to the warehouse tomorrow, recruit good people and start training."

"Okay."

Don went to Edgar's and got some ingots, and when he got back, he immediately got busy.

It's not okay if you don't work overtime, tomorrow after training them on how to use the still, after determining the process process, the day after tomorrow all the metal farming tools will be ready, and when those farmers start with metal farming tools, they will then instruct Edgar and Brian to start making waterwheels.

The waterwheel is very important to Ellington at the moment, and if the fields are not replenished in time, the harvest of this year's harvest is expected to be miserable, and many people may starve to death when winter comes—this is not alarmist.

The next day, as soon as the news of Donne's recruitment of workers was released, a bunch of people came to apply.

Not to mention that the salary offered by Don En is very tempting, just working for the lord is enough to make them steal their heads.

Fiona shouted, "Don't squeeze! Line up! Whoever squeezed directly disqualified! ”

At the sound of the order, the following immediately lined up neatly, and everyone did not want to lose this opportunity to work.

"The lord has an order, because the problem of the site has not been solved, so only ten people will be recruited for the time being, and because of the requirements of this job, the age limit is under thirty years old, fifteen years old, and those who do not meet the rules can go, and when the candy factory is completed, it will expand the recruitment staff again, and everyone will have a job opportunity at that time."

Hearing this request, some people who were over the standard had no choice but to leave, and those who stayed before they had time to get excited, they heard Fiona say again: "The lord also ordered, in order to help families living in difficulty, so this job opportunity will give priority to those who have a greater burden on their families and live poorer lives. ”

Originally, Don thought that the second request would make these people quarrel, but what he didn't expect was that they were very understanding, and they also took the initiative to let out those people they knew who were living in poverty.

This took Donn by surprise.

After two rounds of screening, there were not many people left, and there were thirteen people left, all of whom were women.

Prandal is dangerous, so the mortality rate of men who go out a lot is high, and it is normal for women to have more men than men, and generally a man will find a means of livelihood, and the only women who are left are helpless.

They range from fifteen to twenty years old, and one of the most common characteristics is that they are yellow-skinned, very thin, and their clothes are very shabby and patched.

Don recognized these people, they were the most active group of people who collected mint grass yesterday, and now they still have bags in their hands, it is estimated that they will continue to collect mint grass because of the recruitment here.

After a while, Fiona came to Don with a look of embarrassment and said, "Lord Lord, these girls are living very hard, and they all need this job, it will be difficult for me to get rid of any three of them, or ...... You choose? ”

Tang En was speechless, this girl, you don't want to pretend to be a bad guy, just let me be it?

Don't you know that employees are the ones who take the blame for the boss?

Even if you don't let the boss unspoken rules and don't help take the blame, you will lose your job properly on the earth......

Tang En stepped forward, and the thirteen girls in front of him looked at Tang En with a worried face, they all knew that Tang En's words could determine their fate.

With this job, they will be able to eat, get dressed, and survive this winter, and if they don't have this job, it is likely that when winter comes, it will be their end.

"You ......"

Hearing Don speak, the thirteen people's hearts tightened.

Tang En said very dryly: "They are all hired." ”

"Huh?"

The unexpected words made them all stunned.

"Lord Lord......"

A thin little girl said timidly, "Didn't you say that only ten people were admitted...... If the lord is embarrassed......"

"So," Don pointed to his nose, very seriously, "I'm the lord, I have the final say, and I'm going to hire a few, and you're all hired—of course, if today's training isn't up to par, don't blame me." ”

"Hmm!"

The thirteen nodded fiercely, tears of excitement, if the lord gave them a chance, they couldn't grasp it, then they would have to wait for them to die.

"Let's get ready for training...... That little girl, don't cover your belly, I hear a ring. ”

Done's words made the skinny little girl very nervous: "Yes, I'm sorry Lord Lord......"

Don was speechless: "Is it okay to say I'm sorry?" ”

This frightened the little girl, and she knelt down for Don En with a puff: "I know it's wrong, lord, please forgive me!" I need this job so badly! ”

"Hmph, what do you say to forgive or not, Tina, arrange breakfast for them! How can my people go hungry! ”

The little girl was stunned, looked at Don, and once again burst into tears.

Your Lord, you're really a good man......
