Chapter 262 I Think I Can Do It
"Thank you, sir."
"Thanks."
"Thank you, Chief."
Seeing the citizens who came up to him to express their gratitude, Zi Yi waved his hand.
"Eat your fill first, then you can work."
"Yes, yes."
The leader bowed slightly with a bright smile, then turned and walked back to the group.
Following the direction he left in, Zi Yi looked towards the west side of the platform with a smile.
There were hundreds of people standing there.
They were all holding bowls, and most of them had conspicuous smiles on their faces.
The few remaining people weren't that they didn't laugh; they were just eating so fast that their faces were covered by the bowls, and all they could make were slurping noises.
"It smells so good! Inhale—it smells so good..."
"There are even chunks of meat! I thought it was the day to beg for mercy."
"The leader is so good, suck!"
"Eat quickly, the people behind us are waiting..."
Upon hearing what the people said, Zi Yi looked to the east again.
There were also hundreds of citizens standing there.
He let out a heavy sigh.
"Um--"
After his speech, he instructed his people to distribute food to the people as before.
Because there weren't enough bowls, they could only serve the people of two manors at most.
Aside from the townspeople, Zi Yi could only wait until the people of the previous manor finished eating and collected their bowls before distributing food to the people of the next manor.
This is a bit troublesome.
Fortunately, the food had already cooled from piping hot to lukewarm.
It doesn't take much time to eat.
He also took the opportunity to arrange for a manager.
After the people on one side finished eating, he called over the head of the manor.
Based on the map he retrieved from Baron Talis's manor, he quickly determined which estate this group of people belonged to and what the estate looked like.
Then he gathered the people together and made unified arrangements.
"This estate, hmm. Starting from the intersection, the families whose houses face south stand to my left, the families whose houses face north stand to my right, and the families whose houses face west stand in the middle."
"Craftsmen, soldiers, manor lords, and swineherds, step forward."
"No, none of your family members need to stand here."
Having confirmed the number of craftsmen, he selected three, following his usual method.
"You, you, you."
"From now on, the second sons and second daughters of your three families will be responsible for leading the group of people heading west from the intersection. Those who are ten years old or older will lead those who are ten years old or older, and those who are eight years old or older will lead those who are four years old or older. Those who are under eight years old will be responsible for taking care of the other children who are under four years old."
The villagers received their food according to the manor, and Zi Yi took the opportunity to divide them into teams and manage them according to the map.
The method remains the same as before: each manor is divided into three teams.
However, Li Mosi and the others could no longer run back to tie the cloth strips as they used to.
Otherwise, if we visit each of the nineteen manors one by one, it will take until at least tomorrow afternoon to finish.
Ziyi could only ask the people to widen the road by one time.
The requirement is quite simple.
The people shouldn't do anything wrong.
I don't know why my late master insisted on tying cloth strips around my neck.
After dividing the people into teams, he then had his clansmen and the soldiers from the original manor mixed together to participate in management.
"Thank you, Chief."
"Follow the leader's will."
The people found it strange that goblins and children dressed like slaves were protecting them.
No matter how you look at it, these people are very law-abiding.
Not to mention the children, even the goblins didn't do anything to them!
After being assigned to the team, I treated them casually or with a polite smile.
At least they won't attack, rob, plunder, or tax them at will... and they won't even have the urge to mate!
Completely different from the obscene goblins in their minds!
After the people of one manor finished their meal and divided into groups, they walked down from the platform, and the people of the next manor eagerly took their places.
Li Mosi looked up at the sky.
The sun was setting a few degrees overhead when Zi Yi finally finished dividing up all twenty manors.
The people below the stage remained standing according to the manor's arrangement.
However, within each manor team, they consciously divided themselves into front-row managers and three back rows according to the new grouping.
The clansmen also lined up among them.
Zi Yi looked around and noticed a clear difference in the spirit and energy of the people compared to when they gathered at noon.
At least they weren't so weak when they stood up, and most of the residents had smiles on their faces and their eyes were brighter.
Seeing that the people were silent and only looking at the high platform, Zi Yi spoke up.
"Are you full?!"
"I'm full!"
"Thank you, Chief!"
"I can start working right now!"
The shouts of the people were passionate and chaotic, and Ziyi could not hear much of them.
However, he knew they were all ready.
That's enough.
"Very good! There's food in the fortress. Go from manor to manor and carry it back. Once you've brought it back, get to work!"
"yes!"
"We understand!"
"Thank you, Chief!"
The warehouse in the fortress wasn't very large.
But there was no shortage of food.
When the housekeeper was preparing it, he made enough food for more than 150 people to last until next summer.
It's more than enough to feed the more than two thousand people for ten to fifteen days.
One by one, the manors came forward to receive the food, and Zi Yi finally stepped down from the high platform.
Li Mosi spoke to him.
"How are you feeling?"
Without Zi Yi having to answer, he understood the general situation.
[Target states: dizziness, minors, excitement or fatigue]
This was clearly a great experience.
Li Mosi had never seen someone so excited and exhausted before, so he could only guess that it was probably from being excited for too long and feeling tired.
That's not surprising.
"I……"
Zi Yi's eyes were visibly unfocused.
He rubbed his head before speaking.
"Hearing their cheers made me feel like a bird about to take flight."
have to.
Lisuo was speechless.
Zi'an felt something was off and raised his eyebrows to look at Li Mosi.
The saintess tugged at the hem of her robe and looked at Li Mosi.
Is everything alright?
"What are your plans for the future?"
Seeing that Zi Yi was in such a state of confusion, Li Mosi began to guide him.
"Um."
Zi Yi nodded subconsciously.
"They should have tools on their estate, and I also had them bring food for the next three days."
After reflecting on his current situation, he felt his thoughts became clearer.
"The teams have been divided. Over the next two days, we'll wait for the people to finish repairing the roads, then collect stones and clay, and guide them in building houses..."
Li Mosi, Zi'an, and Haji Sheng watched as he counted on his fingers, repeating the things he needed to do over and over again.
Li Mosi then asked.
"Where did the stone bricks come from? Where did the clay come from?"
"Emmm..."
Zi Yi thought for a moment and looked at the fortress behind him.
"Should we transport it from the north or dismantle this wall? Anyway, the fortress has three walls, so dismantling one is fine too."
"Can."
Li Mosi nodded.
The stone bricks on this fortress were clearly not as fine as the bricks on the stone wall.
But the sizes are all pretty much the same.
It works without any problems.
Regarding the clay, Zi Yi recalled the map of Baron Talis's territory.
There is a lake inside, just north of the town.
He pointed roughly.
"There's a lake over there where we should be able to extract clay."
Zi'an looked in the direction he was pointing.
"It's quite easy to get materials here."
"really."
Zi Yi nodded in agreement.
Although there is only one lake, there is a river to the south.
There was another pile of stone bricks in the central fortress.
In general, the transportation distances for various resources will not be too long.
Li Mosi asked the final question.
"So, you'll be managing this territory from now on. Do you have any questions?"
Zi Yi paused for a moment, then nodded.
"I believe I can do it!"
