boom--

With a dull thud as the fresh logs and bricks were vertically sawn apart, the last section of the roof was officially sealed.

The stonemason and the carpenter climbed down from the scaffolding.

Everyone looked up at the row of earthen houses, and all around was silent.

Li Mosi suddenly felt her clothes being tugged.

He looked down and saw Zi Yi.

Zi Yi's meaning was very clear.

What to do next?

Li Moss looked at Farol.

"What are you all standing there for? Let me show you the new house."

"Yes, sir."

Farol nodded.

The surrounding people had already heard this.

A surge of joy welled up in their hearts, and the previously quiet scene suddenly became lively!

"Is this really our house?"

"The adults have already said it. Don't act like a donkey!"

"How are we able to live in walls this thick?"

"There are stone bricks in there!"

"Thank you for your kindness, sir."

"Kindness is simply not enough to describe an adult!"

"This... I can't figure it out."

"Quiet! Quiet!"

Farol looked at the excited citizens around him and shouted at the top of his lungs.

After his efforts, the people finally quieted down.

"Line up! Line up according to your assigned teams! Come in one team at a time! Let's start with the north and south teams from Valos Manor! Craftsmen, lead your teams!"

The people lined up, and the north and south contingents of Valos Manor stepped forward.

Among them was Lan'er's underage newlywed wife.

Her house is right here!

The girl trembled when she saw that she would be the first to see the new house.

The person in charge of leading the team ahead of her was Steckerling.

The girl and several neighbors walked together toward their new house.

As soon as she reached the door, she couldn't resist reaching out to touch the clay wall, but withdrew her hand the instant she made contact.

She was involved in everything, from building brick walls to plastering clay walls.

But she was in charge of the corner at the time, and she only knew that the wall was getting thicker, but she didn't expect it to be this thick!

It's thick enough for her to take two steps!

Are adults really willing to use up so much clay just to build houses for them?

The girl was originally in the middle of the line, but Stecklin led several of his people straight into the new house, leaving her at the very back.

He was so excited.

Yesterday, Stecklin listened to Zi Yi explain the construction blueprints, learned about the use of the heated kang (a traditional heated platform bed), and even built one himself before.

Upon seeing the integrated system of heated brick bed, chimney, and stove inside the house, he couldn't help but boast about it.

"Look, this will be your bed from now on! This is the stove, and this is the chimney. It's all made of stone bricks!"

Strickland's eyes were filled with excitement. He slowly reached out and stroked the heated brick bed, as carefully as if he were stroking a child.

"The new lord is simply the wisest man ever! I never even thought of using stones to heat the bed with the heat of the fire! Even if I had thought of it... sigh."

As he spoke, he sighed and began to reflect.

"Look how sturdy and beautiful it is."

The people felt they couldn't understand some of it.

Stone beds are sturdier and more aesthetically pleasing than wooden beds.

But what do you mean by heating?

It's not usable yet.

But this little thing didn't affect their mood at all.

The girl walked straight to the stove.

She gently stroked the remaining stone bricks.

"Can we start a fire here from now on?"

Is this considered their fireplace?

"That's right."

Stecklin turned to look.

"As the adults said, if you light a fire here, the smoke will carry the heat and circulate inside the kang (heated brick bed) before finally being expelled through the chimney."

"But don't be silly and start a fire now, the clay will crack."

The girl and several other villagers quickly nodded.

"Uh-huh."

"We won't."

"We don't need to cook now."

"I've got it."

The girl nodded a few times, then couldn't help but look at the stove.

They have a fireplace in their house now!

But if only Lan'er were here right now.

He will definitely like the new lord.

The girl's eyes immediately welled up with tears.

"Come out as soon as you're done watching! Others are waiting! You still have work to do!"

Seeing that the group had been inside for so long and hadn't come out yet, Farol quickly shouted a reminder.

"suck--"

Yes, it's not over yet.

The girl sniffed, holding back her tears.

"Waaah~"

As soon as she stepped out of the house, she heard soft sobbing beside her.

It was a woman holding a child who was crying.

She was also a woman who married a soldier.

The girl's previously tense heart immediately relaxed, and a relaxed smile appeared on her face.

They can survive more than just this winter.

The girl and most of the villagers returned to their group.

But there were none of the villagers holding children.

Li Mosi watched them walk towards her, and then they all knelt down in front of her.

"Heave-sir, we don't know how to express your kindness. We really..."

"Yes, sir. We are truly grateful for your kindness..."

"We've never seen an adult like you before..."

Since it was Li Mosi who led the troops to subdue these people, they naturally assumed that Li Mosi was the lord.

The master and apprentice exchanged a glance, and Zi Yi looked at the kneeling, sobbing leader.

"What kind of behavior is this, crying and sobbing?! Get up!"

His words were very strong, giving the people no further opportunity to vent their emotions.

"You all better stay alive! Work hard! Pay your taxes properly next year! Now get back to work!"

"Yes, yes. Thank you, sir."

"We will definitely work hard."

The people instinctively obeyed his commands, suppressing their emotions.

They must work hard!

We absolutely cannot let such a good adult be dissatisfied!

As all the people returned to their ranks, Zi'an's eyes reddened slightly.

"They live like this even though there's such a vast forest right next to them..."

She should have beaten that knight to death on her very first day here!

"The nobles here are terrible."

The saintess couldn't help but mutter to herself.

"Even if the forbidden area is off-limits to the Vatican, there should still be enough land here to feed them."

Zi Yi turned to the side.

"You mean the nobles here are too wicked?"

"Oh."

Li Mosi was starting to lose her composure.

"I think... that's hard to say."

Having witnessed the exploitation of his subjects by the local nobles, he couldn't help but recall the exploits of European nobles before his transmigration.

The people around immediately looked over.

However, Li Mosi didn't chat anymore.

He looked at Farol.

"After the people have finished looking, you can take them to dig clay. Just leave a few people to dig the pits. The tribespeople will protect you."

Farol nodded.

"Yes, sir."

After explaining the work to be done, Li Mosi turned to look at Ai Song and the other three.

The four of them remained silent, looking tense, with the young man who was with Aisong wearing his guard up on his face.

Zi'an looked up at the sky.

"Master, what should we do next?"

"Should we go back to Stern?"

Zi Yi tried to guess.

Li Mosi nodded.

"That's right. We didn't give the townspeople any tasks when we left, so they should be starting to feel uneasy now."

When they first set out, their only thought was to first settle down in the town, then take over the other manors one by one before dealing with this administrative center.

However, given the prevailing social norms of the time, a lord who only offers benefits without assigning tasks could terrify his subjects.

He guessed correctly.
