Lord: Taken away from inheritance at the beginning

Chapter 47 47. Toilet Design

Early the next morning, Luo Ning put on a relatively simple training uniform under Bella's service.

Compared to yesterday's nervousness, Bella was much more stable today and her movements were much more proficient. I believe that after a while, she will be able to become a qualified personal maid.

Luo Ning walked out of the dressing room, "Gallon, go notify McCann and let them get ready. Later, we will continue to patrol the territory with me. Today our direction is to the west, surveying the end of the Wushan Warcraft Mountain Range."

"Okay, sir, I'll inform you right away!" Gallen ran away in a hurry.

As soon as Luo Ning left the main building, he saw housekeeper Chahar and administrative officer Wilson waiting at the door. There was a large vat between them.

When the two saw the lord coming out, they greeted him and gave him morning greetings.

"Master, I have prepared the big tank you asked for last night."

Chahar spent all his efforts yesterday to find a bigger pottery jar, but unfortunately he searched it all over and couldn't find any bigger one.

In desperation, he could only move a water tank over and use it first.

Luo Ning circled the pottery vat twice and said, "It's barely okay, but it's just a little too small."

Chahar was a little embarrassed, "Sir, this is already the biggest in the castle."

“Can you make a bigger one?”

Luo Ning gestured, "Is there anyone in this area in town?"

this……

Chahar shook his head. He didn't know much about the people in the town and could only look at Wilson. This native was much more familiar with Shanlin Town than he was.

"Yes sir!"

Wilson said: "I remember the blacksmith Carles in town made pottery."

"Then let him help us burn a few large vats."

Luo Ning asked again: "How is the census going? Did you encounter any problems?"

"Sir, the progress is going well so far. I registered more than 900 people yesterday."

This was the first task Wilson received. He did it very carefully and diligently. He didn't stop to rest except eating and drinking water yesterday.

"It's not a big problem. It's just that the remaining residents don't live in very concentrated areas. To make statistics, we need to run here and there. We can't do it as fast as yesterday."

"This is okay."

Luo Ning was very satisfied with Wilson's work efficiency, "Chahar, assign Wilson an ordinary horse. This can save our administrative officer's physical strength and speed up his work."

"If you were paired with a horse, how long do you think it would take to complete the census?"

"This one……"

Wilson hesitated. He didn't know how to answer this question.

If the time stated is too short, it would be bad if it cannot be completed;

But if the time is too long, it will appear that his work efficiency is not high.

"day and a half?"

Wilson considered it for a long time and finally gave this time.

"Sir, I will try my best to give you an answer before tomorrow afternoon!"

Luo Ning nodded, a day and a half went very quickly.

"It's up to you. If you don't have enough time, you can extend it a little bit. But you have to make sure that there are no errors in the results. Efficiency is important, but the results are more important!"

Wilson's expression was serious, "Please rest assured, Sir, Wilson will always keep your requests and instructions in mind!"

After some explanations, the topic returned to the pottery jar in front of me.

Luo Ning took out the parchment paper he had drawn on the squat toilet last night and handed it to the two people to look at. "This is the toilet I designed, and I plan to implement it in Shanlin Town."

Wilson and Chahar looked at each other, neither expecting the lord to show them this thing.

"Master, please forgive me for my offense!"

Butler Chahar dutifully advised: "Just leave this dirty matter to our servants. As the master of Hillwood Town and the most noble person here, you should not come into contact with such odorous topics." Although Wilson did not have the courage to speak directly to Chahar, it was obvious that he also agreed with this statement.

Although it was his first time to be a political officer, what he had experienced for more than thirty years told him that nobles and lords were noble. How could they consider the issue of feces and urine?
  "I have my own ideas."

Luo Ning looked at the parchment in his hand. This squat toilet was actually the toilet in the countryside when he was a child on Earth——

A large tank is buried in the ground, and two wooden boards are put up on the left and right sides of the big tank. People who want to go to the toilet can just stand on the wooden boards.

Oh, by the way, there is also a stick in the big tank, which is the so-called shit stick.

Collecting manure in this way can be regarded as natural fermentation, and they can be used directly to fertilize crops.

"I hope that one day every household in Hillwood will have a toilet like this to collect their feces."

Luo Ning began to tell his political officer: "Of course, it is impossible to implement this now, so I am going to start from our castle."

He looked at Chahar: "You have to choose a place, build two first, and put up sheds for them so that the servants of the castle can use them! Instead of collecting the excrement like now, and then dumping it outside the castle, Lose."

"Master, I understand what you mean."

Chahar bowed and answered. "But I don't understand, why do you want to collect these things? Master, this matter is beneath your status!"

To be honest, as a housekeeper, Chahar himself didn't want to care about this matter.

"This is fertilizer, and it is related to my subsequent plans, so you just need to fully cooperate with me."

Even though Chahar still didn't understand what he was saying, he didn't continue to persuade him. In any case, he is a servant of the castle. It is his duty to give advice and he is responsible for executing it.

"I understand, Master, I will do my best to do everything you ask!"

"We will gain something."

Luo Ning smiled and began to lecture to the political officer again: "During the census, you need to help me find a few good farmers. I need them to serve me for a period of time. In addition, I need you to prepare two acres for me. The vacant land, I plan to develop it into an experimental field.”

Wilson listened carefully to the Baron's story from beginning to end, from designing toilets, to collecting excrement, to finding helpers for farming and two acres of open land, and even mentioned the word fertilizer.

He already knew a little bit about the Baron's thoughts.

"Sir, you are really different. This is the first time I have seen a lord who cares so much about farmland!"

Wilson praised: "I believe that with your help, Shanlin Town will have a bumper harvest every year!"

Luo Ning's eyes lit up. He didn't expect that the political officer would understand his purpose.

This is good. At least when assigning tasks in the future, the other party can catch up with his thinking as quickly as possible.

"Okay, I'm here to find you two today just for this matter. You can continue your work."

After Luo Ning finished explaining, he took the lead to walk outside the castle. He was about to start patrolling the forest.

Chahar looked at Beiying as the master left, then looked down at the pottery jar in front of him, and consulted Wilson.

After a while, he nodded in understanding, "Our master is indeed as you said, different!"

As a political officer who had only been on the job for one day, Wilson did not know much about Luo Ning's previous experience. Prince did not make a big deal about the Marquis' eldest grandson being deprived of his inheritance rights.

But judging from yesterday's teaching test and assignment of tasks to today's plan, Wilson feels that the Baron is a very pragmatic, practical person who pursues efficiency and results.

Following such a person, as long as you work hard to get things done, if nothing else, your daily salary of ten copper coins is safe.

"Master Butler, please take me to fetch a horse. I want to speed up the census!"

Wilson nodded to Chahar, "I feel like this matter is done. There are still many things waiting for me to do!"

"Haha, okay Mr. Administrative Officer!"

Chahar complimented, "With your help, my mountain town will definitely get better and better."

Wilson was in a very good mood after hearing such praise.

However, he also knew Chahar's identity. As the steward of the castle and the baron's former personal servant, he must have belonged to the group of close confidants.

It was necessary to have a good relationship with someone who was close to the Baron, so the two began to exchange business blows one after another.
