Chapter 2 Recruiting Farmers

After counting the goods.

Jiang Hao came to the square of Flower Town again, and two guards followed behind carrying a box containing bread.

Next to the square, there is a wooden sign that looks to be quite old, with recruitment notices written all over it in charcoal.

However, the handwriting on the wooden sign is now blurry. It can be seen that no one has posted recruitment information on it for a long time.

That's right, the lord has no money, let alone those businessmen who open shops.

One of the guards, after receiving Jiang Hao's order, took out a charcoal pen and posted a recruitment notice on it.

Jiang Hao stood there and waited quietly.

There are a lot of people in the square.

Soon, many residents of Huahua Town came to sign up.

"Lord, what do you want to recruit farmers for?"

"Lord, how do you calculate wages?"

"Lord, as long as one copper coin a day is enough, I am willing to do it."

"Lord, I can plow ten fields a day! I used to be a farmer."

More and more people gathered around, and Jiang Hao, who had been silent until now, took out a long loaf of rye bread.

Jiang Hao tore open the bread package, raised the bread in his hand and waved it. A gust of wind blew by, and the aroma of wheat spread everywhere.

"The residents who come to work here can feed themselves with this kind of bread every day!"

Jiang Hao said loudly that this kind of bread does not taste good, but it can fill his stomach.

The most important thing is that it is cheap, you can buy one for 2 yuan.

The surrounding residents' eyes immediately widened after seeing the bread.

Many of them have lived in the jungle picking wild fruits for the past few years. If they are lucky, they can eat some meat from hunting animals. It has been a long time since they have tasted the taste of bread.

Such bread is worth at least 5, no, 10 copper coins!

And with this kind of bread, the lord actually said that he had enough?

They are tired of eating wild fruits, they want fresh bread!

Suddenly, more people gathered around and wanted to sign up.

The scene was once chaotic, and the two guards had to drag their old bodies to maintain order.

After seeing almost all the people who came.

Jiang Hao also quickly stopped and began to select some residents with higher loyalty.

Those who were selected were happy, while those who were not selected had to leave disappointed.

Jiang Hao noticed that the selected residents became more loyal to the territory.

The loyalty of the residents who were not selected has dropped a lot.

afternoon.

Jiang Hao didn't care either. If there were gains, there would be losses.

And he believes that after the development of Flower Town, the loyalty of all residents will increase.

Jiang Hao took the newly recruited resident workers to reclaim the wasteland next to Flower Town.

"Lord, this land is too far away from the river. It is not a wise move to open up wasteland here."

Next to the wasteland, there was a low wooden house that looked dilapidated and crumbling.

A lame old man walked out of the wooden house, found Jiang Hao on crutches, and persuaded Jiang Hao.

And Jiang Hao was surprised to find that the old man's loyalty to the territory was as high as 85!

The loyalty of his two guards and the butler in the castle is only 80%.

"I certainly have a solution for the water source issue."

"But, old man, have we met before?"

Jiang Hao tried to ask.

The old man tapped the ground with his cane, revealing the few yellowed teeth he had left. "To tell you the truth, not only have I seen you, but I have also seen you look like you without any crotch on."

The old man smiled and talked about the past.

Jiang Hao then learned that the old man was Jiang Hao's father, the personal guard of the previous lord.

Later, because he was lame in one leg during a battle with bandits and could no longer serve as a guard, the lord gave him a large amount of blood money and asked him to return to his hometown for retirement.

Unexpectedly, he did not return to his hometown, but settled near Huahua Town.

After all, he has lived in Flower Town for most of his life and was once the bodyguard of the original owner's father. It is not surprising that Jiang Hao is so loyal to the old man.

When talking about the declining Flower Town, the old man couldn't help but sigh.

"Chuck, I have decided to re-hire you. From now on, you will be responsible for managing the workers who reclaim the wasteland."

"Now that finances are tight, I can't pay your salary in copper coins, but I will definitely provide enough food. When Flower Town develops in the future, I will pay you in copper coins again. What do you think?"

Jiang Hao said to the old man, although he was drawing a cake, he was very sincere.

"Willing to serve the lord!"

The old man grinned, looking extremely happy, and performed a solemn and standard knightly salute.

Jiang Hao nodded, left some bread for him, explained the situation to other residents who were reclaiming wasteland, and then left with the two guards.

It didn't take long for the sky to get dark.

The old servants in the castle have prepared food.

Freshly grilled steak, apple puree and pear slices, and a glass of hoppy beer.

As the lord of Flower Town, his living conditions are indeed much better than those of ordinary residents.

After dinner.

Jiang Hao came to the study and took out the luminous lamp he bought online, lighting up the study brightly.

There was a dark wind blowing outside. Jiang Hao looked at the dim sky through the window, wondering if he had to recruit some guards and servants?

boom!

A deafening thunder sounded.

Then a heavy downpour started.

Not long after.

The parts of the castle that were in disrepair began to leak.

Jiang Hao sighed, this castle needs to be renovated.

the next day.

Jiang Hao ate some breakfast prepared by the old servant and went out.

He took his guards and rushed to the wasteland without stopping.

Huahua Town, which is not rich, needs land to grow sweet potatoes. On the one hand, it is to solve the food problem of the residents. They cannot always eat rye bread.

On the other hand, it is to solve economic problems. Only when Flower Town becomes richer will the loyalty to Flower Town be higher. Otherwise, more and more residents will leave here.

Seeing that the development of the wasteland was progressing very quickly, Jiang Hao nodded with satisfaction. It seemed that everyone was not lazy.

Leave the wasteland.

Jiang Hao walked towards the town square.

He plans to continue recruiting people.

His castle needs more guards and servants.

When Jiang Hao came to the town square.

There were many people gathered in the square, and almost all the residents came over!

"A caravan is coming!"

Jiang Hao reacted immediately.

Although Flower Town is poor, caravans occasionally come to trade.

However, as the number of successful transactions became less and less, the number of caravans coming to Flower Town also became less and less.

In my memory, when Flower Town was at its most prosperous, caravans would pass by almost every day.

But nowadays, there may not be a caravan passing by for a month.

"I wonder what the caravan will bring this time?"

Jiang Hao led his guards and walked toward the crowd.
