Lord: Exiled by Stepmother, I'll Rule the World Anyway

"The fuel will never be too little, not too much." Field snapped his fingers happily, "I will give you new drawings in two days. I want to make bricks. When iron ore is mined in the future, charcoal will still be available. Refining pig iron.”

"Sir, but we have encountered a problem." A craftsman said timidly.

Field nodded calmly: "No problem is the biggest problem, you say."

"We don't have enough manpower. If we go to bake... that or something... right, bricks, what about charcoal?"

"You can teach some apprentices."

Field subconsciously said it, but when he saw everyone looking embarrassed, he immediately understood the key to the problem.

In this era, there were crafts guilds. The guild would absorb children from poor families, and then sign contracts with professional masters for mutual benefit. Generally, masters would not avoid the guild and teach privately.

Field thought for a moment and said mysteriously: "It's time to pay attention to the future of the territory. I will inform you in two days."

After returning to the big winery, the first thing Field did was to call Kao and Tate.

"How many children are there in the territory? Do you know how many children there are?"

Field's gaze passed over the bookshelf. The existing information did not even include the population. Fortunately, the lord panel had records.

"Your Majesty, we have too few civil servants to make detailed statistics, but we still know the general number," Tate replied.

"I plan to gather the children in the territory."

Before Field could finish speaking, Kaa staggered and almost fell. He immediately trembled and said: "Sir...sir, this is not good, it is not good for your physical and mental health."

"Ahem, I want to train some highly knowledgeable talents, not just for fun."

Field's face is full of black lines. Is he a weird person?

"That's right." Kaa smiled awkwardly.

"I suggest only teaching the children of freemen." Tate tilted his head and thought for a moment, then added, "If freemen and slaves receive the same treatment, the freemen will be dissatisfied, and the slaves will be content with the status quo."

Field has already considered this, but he doesn't want to say it himself. Letting his men use their brains is what the lord should do.

"You are right, leave this matter to Kaa. Tate, your performance is very good now, keep up, and I will reward you. As for the reclamation task of the other half of the manor, you are still responsible for it."

"Thank you, Sir, I can experience my own value here."

Tate said it very seriously, but he meant it. At least there would be no complicated interpersonal relationships to deal with, no need to worry about the threat of gangs, and he could participate in construction every day.

"Very good, do you have anything to add?"

Kaa immediately raised his hand and said in a high tone: "Sir, there are too few servants in the castle, which is not in line with your status. I suggest that the number of servants be expanded, especially the maids. At least the chosen ones should be equipped with maids, especially the maids. It’s Lady Charlotte.”

"That's right. It's time to expand the number of servants."

I am a baron and have fewer servants than knights. Starry Night Castle is much bigger than a winery. If I move there, with the current number of servants, I will not be able to clean it every day.

Ever since Charlotte came, Kaa and the others were very proud. With the support of the chosen ones of their own race, they could instantly become tough in front of demi-humans, and their waists were three points straighter than before. Although there has never been a conflict between the two parties, they do have confidence in their hearts, and Field can understand it.

"Don't forget to add some beast-eared maids, uh, I mean demi-humans, you know."

A bunny girl, a cat-eared girl, etc., how exciting it would be to keep two of them in the castle.

"Do your will."

Soon, word spread that the castle was recruiting servants.

For a small territory, the lord's affairs are the most important thing. If the lord falls down one day, the children in the territory may not be able to sleep at night.

"Have you heard? The Baron is recruiting servants."

The woman who was speaking was loosening the soil while chatting, and she also secretly glanced at the supervisors in the distance. Those supervisors were usually served by guards in turns.

"Of course! The entire Night Territory knows about this."

"It would be great if I could become a maid, and I could stay happily in the castle, just like a noble lady. Do you know the scissors? She only needs to clean the room twice a day and wash and dry the clothes, and she can be tall and tall. Pay, time off, and good food.”

More importantly, the servants of the castle can also enjoy invisible benefits.

The seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister will bring his own aura wherever he goes from now on.

"It's a pity that only people aged 16 to 18 are eligible, otherwise I would also like to participate."

An old woman who was stirring fermented manure came over and whispered.

"Don't think about it. Zhu Kui, who is always surrounded by a bunch of stinky men, is probably the only one who can be selected to enter the castle. Hey, isn't he just a bit prettier?"

"It's impossible. She always looks unhappy. When the lord sees her, he will be in a bad mood."

Everyone chatted more and more enthusiastically, and finally disturbed the supervisor. After being scolded, everyone stopped chatting angrily.

On the day of the interview, all the women of the right age came throughout the night, and the interview took place in the open space at the entrance of the large winery.

The scene is not glamorous. Don't expect free people or slaves to be as gorgeous as noble ladies. Most of them are dirty, sallow and thin, and very ugly. They are noisy in the hall excitedly, just like a vegetable market.

Field himself will not select them personally, he only needs to show up to review them at the final stage. After all, you are not choosing your wife, married women are also eligible to participate.

The key to this job is to be diligent and good-looking. If you are good at cooking, you can also work in the kitchen that everyone longs for.

"Quiet, get in line and come with me. I want to check your body and appearance one by one." Scissors put his hands on his hips and shouted at the crowd. Seeing that there were still people talking non-stop, Scissors just glared with a sharp look. The man wilted, "I will not allow anyone to bring dirty diseases into the castle. No one can get away with it."

"The aura of the scissors is so strong." Cun Guan was frightened and took a step back in fear.

Sparrow said, knowingly or unknowingly: "She might become a housekeeper."

Kaa, on the other hand, is constantly reviewing.

"Too bad at folding quilts, eliminated."

"Oh my god, are you sweeping the floor? You are just tickling Mother Earth and eliminating her."

"Woooooo~"

The failed interviewer ran out with tears in his eyes.

When the butler Kaa showed off his professional skills, he instantly became reliable, and he ruthlessly rejected one interview after another. He mainly tested his words, personality and professional skills.

The screening lasted for half a day, and finally only four people were selected, one of whom was an Inuya, and the rest were humans.
