Age of Empires From Scratch

  Chapter 45 You have a new task, please check it

   Chatted with Fording for a few more words, and only then did David know that Fording not only ensured the supply of wood for the new houses in the village during this period, but even replenished the stocks that had been consumed.

   No wonder Fording watched movies very late, and he got up late this morning. It turned out that there was nothing urgent to do at hand, so he gave himself a day off and prepared to take a good rest.

   But Fording is only going to take a day off. He is already busy and doesn’t want to let himself relax completely. After there is no shortage of wood in a short period of time, he is going to find something else to do.

   "Building public toilets? Repairing water pipes?"

If the people of Azeroth knew that the famous Tirion Fordring, one of the first paladins and the lord of Hearthglen, actually studied building toilets and digging ditches in a remote village, it would probably be regarded as It's a joke.

  They will never believe that they will do these things as Tirion Fordring.

   However, Fording, who is the client, doesn't care about these. He thinks it is a good thing to be busy every day. In this magical village, I can still get in touch with a lot of knowledge that I couldn't get in before.

   Recently, when I learned that Steve and Peggy were both soldiers who participated in the overheated weapons war and were still front-line commanders, Fording had a new partner to chat with.

   Besides, he really wants to know what David can build Cold Winter Village into?

After a few days of peace like this, the farmers in Lindong Village have all moved into new houses. Although it takes some time to decorate the interior of the house, they no longer need to continue to squeeze into the temporary big wooden house. All in your new home.

  In order to celebrate the farmers moving into their new homes, David took out the meat in stock and the remaining bagged food from Mark, and finally had a sumptuous dinner.

Everyone worked together to get a lot of food, and put it on the newly made two big tables, and then all the villagers of Lindong Village, including foreigners, locals, those who had settled down for a long time, and those who came here occasionally, all sat on the table Enjoy a meal next to it.

  David knew that the difference in status might make the farmers afraid to let go and have a good time, but this moment today has a special meaning for David's Winter Village.

  Whether he had reclaimed farmland and grown food before, or was officially appointed by the kingdom to become the village head of Cold Winter Village, David felt that it was almost meaningless.

  Only today, when the villagers officially settled down in this place, did he feel that Lindong Village had really been established. So, he called everyone together to celebrate.

  Of course, in order to avoid possible embarrassing scenes, he set up two large tables for the people in the village to sit separately.

  The two large tables were still placed on the easternmost side of the village, not next to each other but at a distance. The table near the wooden house where David lived was the table they used to eat and chat. With the increase of the number of people, a part was lengthened again.

  The people sitting at this table tonight, apart from a few special residents who came to Cold Winter Village from another world, are the two locals, Addis and Alfie, as well as Samantha, mother and son Conn.

  After the mother and son were entrusted to David by Maloney, David only had a few chats with them at the beginning. After learning Samantha's name, he didn't have much contact with them.

  The mother and son spent more time with the farmers. If outsiders came here without knowing the inside story, they would definitely treat Samantha as an ordinary villager.

But there are no outsiders in Lindong Village. Even the captains who have just arrived know that Samantha's actual situation is not an ordinary peasant woman. Immediately, he will become the largest landlord in Cold Winter Village besides David.

  In this case, it is not incomprehensible for her and her son to sit at the table next to David.

  However, Samantha was very restrained. On the contrary, her son Conn was very lively. Because of his similar age, he played with Alfie very quickly.

The two children ate fast and couldn't sit still, and they didn't want to listen to a lot of words they couldn't understand from the adults, so after they were full, Alfie turned around and said something to Laura. After getting Laura's consent, he called Conn and ran away together.

   "Don't play with it for too long, it hurts your eyes if you play with it for a long time."

  Adis saw Alfie leave the table, and stopped paying attention after a brief instruction. It was obvious that he knew what the kid was going to do: play video games!

  He knew that the child was very obedient, and he could just give instructions without staring at him, so he didn't even move his butt, and continued to enjoy the delicious food on the table.

   "David, you have a lot of weird things here." Adis has been living in Winter Village for a while, and at first he carefully avoided Maloney, which caused him to spend more time outside the village.

  At that time, he felt that life here was no different from Iron Tree Fort. After Maloney left, he didn't have to worry about Alfie's identity being exposed, so it seemed that choosing to move was a very correct choice.

   As a result, after Maloney left and stayed in the village for a long time, he discovered that there are so many weird things in David's village, as well as a group of people of unknown origin, and these people seem to have a lot of identities!

He wanted to talk to David about this for a long time, but David didn't know what he was busy with every day. He didn't have a chance to talk to David alone. As a result, he found something Just say it directly, there is no need to avoid these people at all.

   "How is it? Is there anything wrong with it?"

   "There is nothing uncomfortable, even after I came here, I have gained a few pounds." Lindong Village is not short of food at all now, after all, Laura has supplemented it from another world, and a new batch of potatoes will be harvested soon.

In addition, the new farmers have moved into their new homes, and then they will devote themselves to cultivating the farmland-David may not understand, but the old hunter Adis knows how amazing it will be if these farmers really go crazy to reclaim the fields the results.

   At that time, these people will directly reclaim the land around Lindong Village into farmland, and he will not be surprised.

Then plant potatoes, if you count the time, even before summer has passed, Lindong Village will usher in a bumper harvest of grain, and if you hurry up, you can even plant another round—so much grain, even the most ordinary farmers can’t afford it. Don't worry about having nothing to eat in winter, you can consider selling the extra grain in exchange for other items, such as salt, sugar, etc.

  In fact, there are still a lot of salt reserves in Lindong Village, but the salt, sugar, spices, etc. in the village are considered David's personal property. If ordinary farmers in the village want to obtain these things, they need to buy them from David.

  Rindong Village is currently in the stage of "big pot of rice", and David has not considered letting the villagers "solve their own food" for the time being. It is estimated that the village will not enter a new stage until the infrastructure of the village is completed.

  He didn't plan to distribute daily necessities to the villagers for free. He knew that once he did so, he would not be able to bring the village back to the 'normal track' in the future.

The following collective food supply will nominally be one of the remunerations for farmers to receive extra work from him. In addition to providing daily food, David will use potatoes, meat, salt, sugar and other things as remuneration, so that Villagers are involved in various construction works.

  In fact, his approach is similar to the regulations of other lords, except that other lords are farmers who participate in various labors and will reduce the tax they need to pay; David did not mention the reduction or exemption, but paid the remuneration separately.

  He feels that it is better for people to gain some benefits than to let them lose something, and the optimistic and positive attitude of farmers is more conducive to the development of the village.

  David is not sure whether his approach is good or not, anyway, arrange it this way first, and adjust it later if something happens! Anyway, his place is a small village, and if there is any trouble, it won't go anywhere.

  The people at the table were eating and drinking, and listening to David's arrangement, they also didn't think there was any problem.

   At this time, the farmers who had already had a full meal had already returned to their new homes to rest. When the morning dawned, they would start a new job: cultivating the land.

  David and the others continued to chat, and they didn't completely disperse until midnight after a meal. An 'ordinary person' like Samantha had already taken her son back to her new home to rest.

  Steve went back to the Marvel universe. He now runs back and forth between the two worlds every day, but mainly returns to his own world to rest, and comes here during the day when he has nothing to do.

   Fording and Mark agreed to go to the river tomorrow to see where it is suitable to install water pumping and water purification machines. Then Mark will plan and design according to the actual situation, and finally hand it over to Laura to purchase equipment.

  As for how to transport the equipment? In addition to choosing equipment with a smaller model as much as possible, the last solution is to disassemble the machine into parts and ship them in batches, and then assemble them here in Lindong Village.

  Laura, who has received various tasks in a row for a few days, feels that her adventure plan will have to be postponed until next year.

  After returning to the wooden house with David, Laura firmly stated: After finishing the tasks at hand, I will start by myself! There must be no further delay.

   I don’t know if Laura has unlocked some strange attributes. The day after she just said this, a new task was handed over to him.

The little blacksmith Will Turner, who had disappeared for several days, and David thought he would never come back, finally appeared. After he thoroughly figured out what was going on, he expressed great respect for becoming the blacksmith of Cold Winter Village. Interest—especially if he could travel freely between Winterwinter and Port Royal.

  He felt that if he could work hard here to create his own career, it would make him a better match with his sweetheart Elizabeth.

   "So...top-level blacksmithing equipment, and some related books." David looked at Laura, and patted her weak shoulder: "Please."
