Kapitel 53: Chapter 53 Village and Group
Chapter 53 Village and Group
Shanlin Town is now like a pile of loose sand. If Shanlin Castle's instructions are to be conveyed to every citizen, Roning needs to arrange for people to notify them specifically.
For example, when Roning asked all the subjects to meet him on the grassland a few days ago, it was only after David, Tom, and others rode fast horses and shouted like beating drums that they were barely able to arrive.
Luo Ning didn't want his professional knights and guards to waste their time on such things.
He needs some grassroots personnel to convey his instructions quickly.
Therefore, he decided to divide these 1,993 people according to the concepts of villages and groups.
"Wilson, I need you to divide the people in the town into households, with every hundred households or so forming a 'village'."
"village?"
Wilson looked serious. Just like the matter of the squat toilet, he had no experience with what the Baron was talking about.
"Yes, village!"
Luo Ning explained carefully, "Although one hundred households make up a village, this 'hundred households' is not a hard and fast rule. It mainly depends on the number of people. We try to balance the number of serfs and free tenants in each village."
The so-called serfs were actually slaves who depended on the lord and cultivated the land for him. The lord controlled their food and drink, and they just needed to not starve to death.
Although free tenants had personal freedom, they also cultivated the lord's land and handed over a certain proportion of the harvest to pay the rent for the land.
Although free tenants had personal freedom, it was only in the legal sense. In real life, they had very little freedom and could become serfs if they were not careful.
The "other professionals" in Wilson's statistics also did not have land, but they earned their living through their skills.
Theoretically, free tenants and people working in other professions are all considered free people, but in the population structure of Shanlin Town, the number of these two groups combined accounts for less than 35%.
"There are 543 households in Shanlin Town. Theoretically, it can be divided into six villages. However, when you divide it, you need to ensure that the number of free tenants and serfs in each village is as balanced as possible. So this village can be five or even four."
"As for other professionals, you can divide them into villages based on where they live."
"Be careful to divide them according to the family; don't break them up."
Wilson quickly took out a small piece of parchment, then leaned over the chair and wrote down Ronin's request with a quill pen.
After just hearing these two sentences, he felt that this matter would be difficult to accomplish.
"In addition, each village will elect a village chief to be responsible for conveying the castle's instructions and managing daily farming work. Each village will have four groups, each with a group leader who will assist the village chief in management."
"From now on, you can pass instructions directly to the village chief, who will pass them on to the team leader and then to every household and every person."
Wilson was stunned and asked in disbelief: "Sir, are you saying that these people are under my control?"
Luo Ning chuckled, "You can understand it that way, but there is one thing I need to emphasize."
"These people only help convey instructions and sometimes supervise the tasks I assign. I don't give them any other rights, especially the right to punish other citizens!"
Wilson nodded, taking this to heart.
"The village head and the team leader have their own land to cultivate and their own work to do, but it's relatively easy for them."
Luo Ning continued, "Of course, if they help me, I will also pay them. The village chief will receive five copper coins plus five kilograms of barley per month, and the team leader will receive two copper coins plus two kilograms of barley per month."
"You are such a generous lord!"
Wilson exclaimed that although it was a monthly wage rather than a daily wage, these things were also something that serfs or free tenants would have loved to have.
"I believe that once the people know your policies, they will be very eager to serve you!"
Luo Ning smiled and did not comment.
In fact, in this small town that has no commercial exchanges with the outside world, it is difficult to spend wages.
Even for McKen and his people, the money they received could only be spent within the territory in the end, such as buying food, vegetables, meat, etc., from the castle.
In the end, a lot of the money may still return to Ronin's hands.
Only when the trade route is open, and there are caravans willing to enter Shanlin Town to do business, will the money in their hands become more valuable?
However, as far as Roning knows, no caravan has come to Shanlin Town yet.
Some of the daily necessities for the people were originally purchased by Princet from outside, but now they need to be purchased by Lord Roning.
It sounds like the people are asking the lord to do things, but in fact, ensuring the survival and living conditions of the people is also one of the lord's responsibilities.
Every lord hopes that his territory is large, rich, and populous.
From manor to small town, from small town to small city, from small city to big city, this is the dream of all lords.
The same is true for Ronin, especially his achievement interface, which has an achievement called [Conquer Cities], which requires him to own a city.
[Siege]: Own a city, rewards: attribute points +200, energy essence +400.
This achievement only means owning a city and does not require Ronin to capture a city, which means that a developed city can also meet the requirements.
Luo Ning now has Shanlin Town, but this achievement has not been achieved, which only shows that this town is a different concept from the city.
As for what requirements are required to be considered a city, although Luo Ning is not sure, he estimates that it must be related to the population.
Ultimately, it is still necessary to develop the population.
Although purchasing and childbirth are both effective to a certain extent, attracting free people to join is also a good way.
To attract people, you have to go out and communicate more.
So Roning knew that if a territory wanted to be revitalized, it was very necessary to attract caravans to do business.
When he has more manpower in the later stage, Roning plans to hire a "business officer" to be responsible for the business issues of the territory.
Now, there are only a little over 2,000 people in Shanlin Town, so we should keep everything simple and do it ourselves when necessary.
"My Lord, I have a question."
Wilson looked a little unsure. "Should these village heads and group leaders be serfs, free tenants, or other free people?"
Roning tapped his fingers on the table, thinking.
In fact, whether serfs or tenant farmers, they all depend on him as the lord for survival. In his eyes, there is not much difference.
"Our current government affairs are mainly focused on farming, so freemen from other professions are not included in the scope of appointment for the time being."
Carpenter William and blacksmith Carus are all freemen of other professions. They just need to do their own jobs well.
"So this round of village heads and team leaders will be selected from free tenants and serfs. The selection criteria are, first of all, that they have a relatively high level of planting skills, and secondly, the younger and more motivated, the better."
Luo Ning is also planning to set up an experimental field, and when the time comes to plant, he can invite the selected village heads and group leaders to come over to watch and learn.
Once they have learned it, we can then promote it to every village and group, which will go much faster.
"Okay, that's about it."
Luo Ning asked Bella to refill his cup of barley tea and, at the same time, ordered her to leave. "Just follow the requirements I just mentioned. I hope you can give me a satisfactory answer when I return from the Horse Herding City."
Wilson looked at the parchment in his hand carefully, thinking about each item carefully.
This matter is rather troublesome. If he has any questions, it would be better for him to ask before Roning leaves. Otherwise, when Roning comes back and finds that something has gone wrong, it will be difficult to deal with.
"Sir, I will sort out the data you mentioned after I go home tonight and report to you tomorrow."
He took the population registration parchment back with him and thought it through in his mind. If he still has any doubts, he can raise them during the work report.
"Okay, go ahead!"
Luo Ning waved his hand. He really liked this kind of good employee who would work overtime at night.
