Chapter 52

The escape of the children indirectly solved His Majesty's worries.

But this time Aurora also offended many people because of it. The forces behind the port hate her so much, but what can she do, she is not Jinsi, so she can't make everyone like her.

Her territory needs talents, and they won't give her away with kindness, so they can only catch them from a young age.

Beichen's reputation in other territories is not that good, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was frightened by the news.

Barren, famine, and poor, the nobles spared no effort in shaping Miguel into a cold-blooded and ruthless lord in order to blacken Miguel.

Fortunately, Capa has his own judgment ability.

His main question was not that Miguel was cruel, but whether the count and countess liked to abuse people.

The answer is definitely no. There have never been any servants and servants in Taylor Manor who were injured all over their bodies. As long as they are compared with other nobles, everything is clear.

That's why Capa dared to bet that it would be better to leave than to stay in the port of the imperial capital.

In any case, the port turmoil is over.

Aurora knew how the children behaved. Except for the first few days, they were all well-behaved and not born bad.

Aurora was afraid that there would be children with anti-social personality hiding among them, so she specially asked the knights to pay attention to whether these children were sinister or had perfect personalities.

Aurora is lucky, and no such child has been found so far.

It's autumn in Beichen territory.

Although each of these children was raised roughly, Aurora didn't want a few of them to fall before they reached the territory.

On the way, Aurora went to buy cheap fabrics.

Susan cut them out and let them make their own clothes.

The children who touched the new fabric wept with joy. They could finally wear new clothes instead of the old clothes they picked up at random.

When the new clothes were worn on their bodies, they were full of energy and more determined to follow Aurora's mind.

Afterwards, Aurora also went to buy some Gudou chickens. There are more than one type of Gudou chickens, some of which are very colorful, some are white like a snowy owl, and some are gray like a gray duck.

Aurora doesn't care about looking good, she just wants something functional.

But the seller only got more than a dozen live ones from hunting, so I don't know their habits.

In desperation, Aurora bought them all.

The ship sailed at sea for twelve days and arrived at the territory of Viscount Hunter.There are many heavy cargoes on the ship that need to be unloaded, some are the furniture that Aurora likes, some are the ore she likes, and her own port is too broken to bear the heavy weight.

Aurora returned with a rewarding experience.

In the past three months, the territory has changed a lot. One-fifth of the manor wall has been built, and it is already as high as someone.

From a distance, it seems to see the long snake at the end, which is very magnificent.

Some slave farmers saw the returning team and immediately knelt down to greet them. The scene once made Aurora think that during her absence, there was an incident of hiring or servants bullying the slave farmers, which caused the slave farmers to react.

In fact, Aurora really thinks too much. Linong is grateful for her kindness because no one in the village starved to death this year.

If it wasn't for the lack of food in their hands, they might have expressed their gratitude by handing over some vegetables and eggs like the old surnames in the East.

Aurora tilted her head and told Alu who came out to greet her, "Tell the village chief, don't kneel anymore. I don't like kneeling. If I have time to kneel, I might as well do more."

Alu recorded the matter in his self-made notebook.

Susan helped Aurora take off the obstructive coat. Seeing that the temperature in the North had dropped a lot, Miguel even put on thick winter clothes for her, and stubbornly refused to let her take it off. Sweaty.

Sitting in the warm living room, Aurora heard Alu say that the ditches have been fully dug and the wasteland is easier to reclaim.

Many slave farmers have joined in the work of reclaiming wasteland.

Add ten sets of tools such as hoes and shovels.

The leveling of the road was a bit troublesome. In order to prevent the soil from flowing to both sides, Li Nong built stones on both sides of the road, which was a bit like a European country road, which could not only block wild animals but also suppress the soil.

But it's only temporary, and Aurora wants a better path.

It had to be an asphalt road or a cement road, the kind of solid road that would last for a hundred years. She didn't want to start repairing the road at the end of the year like in her previous life.

The farm has successfully expanded by five times, but in this way, Busa is a little bit overtrained, and Eddie hasn't grown up yet.

Alu: "He wants to ask if you need more animal trainers."

Aurora has her own considerations, "No, you tell Busa, one-fifth is used as a meat dragon, and two-fifths are streamlined for training. I just need them to understand the rein training of moving forward, turning, and stopping." .The rest will be used as mount training."

In this way, Busa's workload was reduced by half. Aurora thought about it. She got along with Eddie and felt that Eddie was not very willing to accept Busa's workmanship. Sign a lifetime contract, add pension clauses, and ask him to pick two of the new kids as apprentices. Eddie grows up too slowly."

Alu immediately wrote down the matter of Busa accepting apprentices in his notebook.

Aurora added: "I will write the pension provisions."

This clause is only used to retain talents, other ordinary residents, Aurora is not interested in seeking pension benefits for them.

Alu went on to report that this year, half of the laborers who belong to the peasantry cannot offset [-]% of the tax, and it doesn’t matter if they don’t offset the tax. They prefer to rent agricultural tools to plow the fields, so that they can plow more fields and eat enough.

Aru asked if they could be assigned other jobs.

Aurora is also having a headache. There are too many things in the territory, but the work that Linong can do is limited.

Knowledge is limited, and there are very few people who understand crafts, and even the only carpenter is half-baked.None can compare to Blacksmith Beamon.

"Tell them to clean up the weeds around the city wall and speed up the progress of the city wall. After the road in the manor is paved, then go to pave the road outside the manor."

Aurora gave the drawing to Alu.

The road across the forest to the sea is narrow and often overgrown with weeds.

"The road is widened by three times, and the cut trees should not be left in place. They can be cut and pulled back to make furniture or building materials." Aurora doesn't want to let go of a little wood. The province should be saved, the flowers should be spent, and the resources should be reasonable use.

Paving the road in the forest is dangerous, so send two more attendants to protect them.

On both sides of the road, calf-high stones can be piled up with stones like the roads of the manor to facilitate the removal of weeds in the future.

As for settling the children.

The house that Ogri had previously built also came in handy.

""By the way, divide half of the farmers to continue building houses, make them stronger, and many children will live in them in the future. Witt sent a letter telling Beichen that he had selected [-] children through the magic road, and there were almost [-] more children at once, and the capacity of the manor was almost at the upper limit.

If the new children arrive, they will all be released from the village outside the manor.

After Aurora gave the order in an orderly manner, she turned and went to the study to deal with the mountain of work.

On Kapa's side, they ate fish and bread every day on the road, and their faces were obviously fleshy.

When they saw the desolation of Beichen, they were worried for a long time, but when they were assigned to a room of ten people, they completely let go of their anxiety. Although it was a little crowded, they used to live in a room of dozens of people.There is no bed yet, so they can only sleep on the first floor. In winter, they can only pile some straw on the ground to resist the cold.

But now, there are not only beds, but also bunk beds, and the guardrails are also high, so you don’t have to worry about falling off.

They also have their own exclusive wardrobe, and they can go to the entrance of the village to pick up their meals.

But it's only temporary, they can't go out to get food in winter, so every child must master simple cooking skills.You need to learn how to use fire safely, and you need to continue to learn how to mend.

Before winter came, the countess would give them beans and black flour, and some bacon.

They have to learn how to allocate resources and learn how to survive the cold winter of Beichen.

They also have no time at night, and have to learn characters from the children in the church.

That's right, learning words.

When Capa wrote the first word on the slate with a charcoal pencil, his overwhelmed nerves reacted.

Daniel sat next to Capa, his expression was exactly the same as Capa's. The more mature the child, the more he could appreciate Aurora's good intentions.

She is really cultivating them as talents, instead of letting them do coolies after being rescued and let them go.

After class, Capa secretly wiped away tears on the way home.

Daniel patted him on the back, and his eye circles were also red.

For no reason, just to finally have a place to belong to.

The Countess' territory is a beautiful utopia just as Daniel advertised.

Daniel was lucky that the gamble succeeded and his sister was not allowed to fall into the devil's lair.

Daniel looked at his sister next to him.

Tiffany smiled sweetly at her brother. After she came to Beichen, she smiled every day.

There are no lecherous men here, and those construction teams and slave farmers are all far away from them.

All because Aurora strictly prohibits adults above the age of pursuing girls under the age of 16.

The following boys are also not allowed to perform indecent acts on any girls, otherwise they will be kicked out of the territory, this is what the little teachers in the class said.

Because of this, everyone can see Aurora's protection of girls.

Tiffany thinks this is heaven, but she is afraid that everything here is a short-lived dream, "Brother, will we go back to the imperial capital? I feel like staying here forever."

Daniel patted Tiffany on the head, "I won't go back, as long as you work hard enough and be obedient, Madam won't drive you away."

Eliza, who heard Daniel talking next to her, also nodded, and her brother Capa also told her that the lady brought them here from such a far away place, there must be something for them.

As long as they work hard and find a decent job in the future, better days are not far away from them.

……

A new batch of children is coming, and parchment is in short supply.

Aurora likes to record everything on paper. If there is enough paper, she doesn't want the people below to dictate at all, but submit it in writing, and ask someone to ask if she has any questions.

"Susan, help me go to the talent dormitory and call Pava, Gander and Julie over."

Susan was familiar with the people over there, and soon called them to the castle.

Aurora met them in the garden.

I haven't seen each other for a while, the three of them have lost their thinness, the younger sister is still not obvious, the two older brothers are much taller, their faces are no longer yellow, and they have grown into handsome young men.

"Good day, madam." The three of them saluted in a dignified way.

Aurora nodded, "I heard that you are the fastest and best at learning characters in the dormitory. How far have you learned now? Can you understand the characters on it?"

Aurora gave them a roll of parchment, which briefly recorded the way of making paper. She needed them to try and make mistakes, try more, and then obtain various types of paper.

Pava took the parchment, and the three siblings got together to read it.

Doubt flashed across Gander's face, this...isn't this similar to the process used by my sister to make clothes?How did the lady know the process? He never said how his sister did it.

Aurora: "There is no doubt, this is the process your sister wants to make fabrics. I know the general process when I see that ball."

Gander and Julie's eyes brightened, and they looked at Madam with admiration. Madam really knew everything as everyone said.

Aurora: "Compared with your homemade ones, the records here are more detailed. Can you do it?"

Facing Aurora's clear blue eyes, Pava blushed. The boy in his teens was just at the age when his heart could easily spring up.He forced his eyes to focus on the parchment, thought over and over again, and said firmly: "It should be possible, we will try our best to do it."

"Very well, you have become full-timers. From today onwards, your work place is on the side of the castle. Butler Mag will arrange for you. If you need anything, you can ask someone to bring it to you. Any content of this work must be kept confidential , you also need to sign a non-disclosure contract." After the three signed the non-disclosure contract, Aurora took out another roll of parchment, on which the names of the experimental materials were listed, and there were still many methods that they needed to try. It is equivalent to telling them how to do the experiment, and the rest is to try.

After signing the contract, the three Pava brothers and sisters were in a trance. They were really entrusted with important tasks.

All the work had to be done in the castle, and it was obvious how much the lady attached importance to paper.

The three Pava brothers and sisters walked a little lightly. When they returned to the dormitory, many people asked them why they were called by Aurora?
Pava replied with an excuse prepared in advance: "I just went to do odd jobs. Steward Mag said that he couldn't disclose anything in the castle. Don't ask. If I tell you, not only will I be punished, but you will also be punished." .”

They didn't ask any more about work.

But with the work of the castle, Pava officially broke away from his status as a slave farmer, and he is a freeman from today on.

"I really envy you who were assigned to work so quickly."

"That's right, Pava, I need you to take care of me in the future. And your brother and sister are all capable."

"So you have to move out of the dormitory too, I can't bear you."

Pava said modestly: "Don't brag, it will be your turn soon, sooner or later."

No one refuted this point. The countess even took in hundreds of children, so it made no sense to let them who could read more.

Pava chatted with them a lot. Early the next morning, in order to celebrate, Pava and his younger siblings went to the big kitchen of the construction team to buy stew to celebrate.
