Chapter 75 Everyone is happy
The manor meeting in the afternoon was relatively relaxed.
The original head of the barley village, Black Peter, was successfully elected.
Then, in the wheat village, which had 591 people and 100 households divided into nine ridges, the original head, One-Eyed Boris, successfully retained his position; then in the alfalfa village, which had 355 people and 62 households divided into six ridges, the original head, Lame Adolf, was successfully re-elected.
Only in the lentil village, which had 632 people and 108 households divided into ten ridges, there were some changes.
The original head of the village was the vegetable man Sharbi, who always had a smile on his face and had gray hair. He got the nickname "Vegetable Man" because he was very good at growing vegetables and was happy to teach others how to grow vegetables.
In addition to growing lentils, almost every household in the lentil village had a vegetable garden to grow some vegetables, so the prestige of the vegetable man Sharbi was very high.
The serfs also wanted to elect the vegetable man Sharbi as the head of the village.
However, Sharbi was old and his legs were no longer convenient, so he took the initiative to give up the election. But what the serfs never expected was that they actually elected the wife of Mr. Sharby, Mrs. Sharby, who was a dozen years younger than her husband.
"Mrs. Sharby is as kind-hearted as Mr. Sharby, and she can also grow vegetables."
"Yes, Mrs. Sharby was helping us grow onions and celery a few days ago!"
"I hope Mrs. Sharby can be the head of the village."
"Mr. Sharby will help Mrs. Sharby in the future."
The serfs really support Mr. and Mrs. Sharby. Knowing how to grow vegetables according to the weather and season is actually a skill, and can be regarded as a serf technician.
"Sir, this... Mrs. Sharby is a woman after all..." Charles was a little embarrassed in the face of this situation.
Russell responded with a smile: "What about women? Since the farmers believe that Mrs. Sharby can be a good head of the village, why not let Mrs. Sharby try it. Well, now I officially appoint Mrs. Sharby as the head of Lentil Village."
Hearing Russell's appointment.
The serfs in Lentil Village immediately cheered.
"Praise the master!"
"The master is kind and good-hearted, and he really loves us serfs!"
"Sooner or later, the master will be able to ride a dragon!"
"I want to kiss the tip of the master's shoe to express my gratitude to the master. With the master, life will get better and better."
Mrs. Sharby was also very excited. She covered her mouth with both hands and was a little unbelievable: "Oh, God, really, master, can I really be the head of the village! God, I dare not think so, I am just a stupid woman!"
"Mrs. Sharby, you have to believe in yourself and believe in the trust of the farmers in you." Russell encouraged.
"Yes, master, I believe in myself!" Mrs. Sharby cherished this opportunity very much, and nodded with tears in her eyes, "Praise the master, thank you for letting me be the head of the village, I will definitely be serious and responsible and do a good job as the head of the village."
"Then let's wait and see." Russell smiled.
After Mrs. Sharby was confirmed as the head of the village, the election of the heads of the seven villages in the Black-waisted Snake Manor was completed.
The head of the village is not an official, nor is he just a subordinate of the chief clerk.
The village chief needs to be responsible for every official and cooperate with the officials to manage all the affairs of the farm village.
"Sir, the village chief has been elected. Next, should we elect the captains of the Cordyceps Guard and the Farm Village Security Team?" Charles asked when he saw that it was still early.
Russell thought for a while and said, "Then elect the captain of the Cordyceps Guard. As for the Farm Village Security Team, just like the serf manager, let each farm village elect it themselves."
"Okay, sir."
There are currently six Cordyceps in the territory.
Among them, there are five Cordyceps in the Magic Potion Village, one birch Cordyceps, two fluorescent mushroom Cordyceps, one dill Cordyceps and one rain long flower Cordyceps. The other blood tooth fungus Cordyceps is located in the wolf head patio of the cave village.
After discussion among the officials, it was decided to set up two Cordyceps Guards.
One is the birch forest Cordyceps Guard, and Russell's knight squire Jack was elected as the captain of the guard.
The other is the Wolf Head Patio Cordyceps Guard. The officials intend to recommend the defense officer Howls as the captain of the guard.
However, Howls was upset because he failed to become the head of the Cave Village and did not intend to stay in the Cave Village, so he declined the position. Finally, another ranger Bal was recommended as the captain of the guard.
So far, basically all officials and heads have been completed.
But Russell keenly noticed that his knight squire James was not selected for any position.
Tom served as the deputy knight of the security patrol, John served as the escort officer under the Court Zha, and Jack served as the captain of the birch forest cordyceps guard.
"Alas, we have to treat everyone equally. I am quite satisfied with the four squires." Russell thought to himself.
So he turned to Charles and said, "I plan to set up another manor transport team to transfer goods between the town and the manor. If farmers need to go to the market, they can also take the transport team to the town to save time."
"What your Excellency is considering is that the manor does need a transport team." Charles agreed.
"James will be the transport captain." Russell said casually.
James, who was still depressed, was surprised at first, and then he felt grateful for his friend's death. He knelt on one knee and said, "Sir, James will live up to your trust and work hard to maintain the manor transport team!"
Russell happily accepted James' gratitude.
In short, everyone around him got a new job, and a lively manor meeting ended happily.
...
That night, the officials visited the manor villa again and had a banquet with Russell.
"Everyone, drink a full glass." Russell raised his glass and motioned everyone to drink a glass together. "Now that the division of industry has been clarified, it's time to move forward... The windmill is about to be completed, and the public toilet will be put on the agenda immediately. Next, there are composting sites, septic tanks, etc. to be built."
"Don't worry, sir, we will build all of this step by step." Charles ate with his mouth full of oil, and as a newly appointed clerk, he was very proud.
"We need to start the rectification of the small market right away. The caravan may come soon... After the warm season, I hope that the office, court, dormitory and school of the small market can be built one after another. In addition, the charcoal slag path can be widened into the charcoal slag road."
Seeing that Russell wanted to eat a fat man in one bite, Charles hurriedly advised: "Sir, let's do it one by one. In the warm season, the serfs still have to focus on farming, and the construction of the manor needs to squeeze out the serfs' rest time."
"Indeed, the serfs should not be over-exploited." Russell set the tone, "In short, as long as the serfs come to serve, they will be provided with food by the manor. For those who perform well and work hard, I will also take out a sum of money to reward them."
"You are too generous!"
"The rectification work in Diku Village cannot be stopped, especially the formation of patrol teams. Although there are few snow ghosts invading in the warm season, we still cannot take it lightly."
Katie responded: "Please rest assured, sir, I will keep a close eye on the Xiangshui River Cave and never let a snow ghost cross the line."
"Okay." Russell raised his glass again, "Come on, everyone, drink another full glass!"
