Succubus' Manor

The tools used by the carpenter are finally finished. Although they are still very rough, there are steel blades and saws, and they look different at once. They are not brittle or bent. Wood is better than meat, and it is easier to process. Moreover, although they can't read words, they can understand blueprints, and the looms and spinning machines can be made quickly and well.

Except that the first few sets were a bit shabby, the later ones were even better than what Chi Yan saw in the holy courtyard.

The dwarves also cherish these tools and polish them every day. The dwarves don’t talk much, but they like strange things, especially manual work. For them, being able to make looms and spinning machines is not work, but is a reward.

They just love it.

Of course, it would be even better if you can drink a bowl of hot mush and eat some black bread when you are tired.

The tauren are still opening up wasteland, but this time they have more axes in their hands, which are much better than stone axes. They don't need much effort. Those big trees that were particularly troublesome before were cut down. Except for the roots that still need to be dug, they Land reclamation is much faster than before!

Chi Yan would find time every day to go to the blacksmith room to watch them forge iron, and also to watch the dwarves making looms and spinning machines.

What shocked him the most was that several female slaves were pregnant!

There are not many female slaves in his territory, and the reason is very simple. The female slaves are weak and do not do as much work as the male slaves. Although they eat less, the male slaves eat less. As long as they don’t give them, they don’t waste food. Therefore, merchants seldom sell female slaves, unless they are particularly beautiful and can be sold at a high price among nobles.

Adding up the slaves of all races in Chi Yan's territory, there are only more than 20 female slaves.

Now there are six pregnancies at once, and they only found out after the belly got bigger.

This made Chi Yan into trouble, not letting them work and letting them raise their babies?

Or do nothing and continue to let them work? ——That was too contrary to the education that Chi Yan had received since he was a child.

The steward knight and Kleist were not there, so Chi Yan could only say to the male servant: "Ask them if they know who the father of the child is. If they know, let the male slave do the work of the female slave, and let the female slave Don't do heavy work."

"If you don't know, wait until you have a baby to make up for the work left behind."

The work of female slaves is also very heavy, but there is no need to farm recently. The job of female slaves is to pull up the weeds in the field with the children after the tauren opened up wasteland. They have to turn up the soil and clean up the roots and seeds together. Otherwise, if it is pulled out this year, it will grow again next year.

If it is a busy farming period, the work of the female slaves is even heavier.

In winter, the slaves had almost nothing to do—unless the lord let them brave the wind and snow to open up wasteland.

This is tantamount to sending slaves to die. There is not enough food, and the slaves have no warm clothes. After working in the wind and snow, they will die within a few days.

Generally speaking, there are a lot of slaves in the territory, and the lords who need to clean up will do so, so that the slaves can do something before they die, and the corpses will not stink in winter, and nothing will be affected after digging and burying.

The servant quickly went to notify the steward.

The person in charge went to find the female slaves who had grown bellies.

But only two of the fathers knew about the child, and none of the others.

So the two male slaves had to do double the work in winter, and they didn't cry bitterly, but were a little proud. It was also a skill to let a woman sleep with him alone.

Work harder than before.

Chi Yan could only sigh that the slaves were really simple.

The male slaves have no idea of ​​passing on the family line, they have no surname, even if they have children, the children will not have a surname, they are just proud of being able to attract female slaves.

Children born to slaves only recognize their mothers, not their fathers.

The female slaves did not do nothing when raising their fetuses. They would still pull weeds or wild vegetables when they could still move, looking for everything that could be eaten. It was the same when they were pregnant in the past. Of course the lord would not As Chi Yan is so considerate to them, they can only look for them during their work breaks.

In this way, when the stomach is bigger and the hunger is faster, there will be something to eat, and the baby can be delivered smoothly.

The name of the servant is Kadi. He is very beautiful, with thick eyebrows and big eyes. If it weren’t for this, he would not be able to be the lord’s personal servant. Holding on, he becomes an errand runner.

This time the housekeeper was not around, so Kadi felt that he had to do this well!

Otherwise, when the butler came back, he would have no place to stand.

He also complained to Abel: "Why doesn't he have eight hands!"

Cardi didn't dare to show any disrespect to the butler, but he hated him a little.

The other butlers are all in charge of the affairs of the territory, taking care of the property of the adults, such as dressing the adults, or arranging the accessories of the adults, etc., are all done by the personal servants, but Kadi has been so long, let alone He is a grown-up, and he couldn't even touch the adult's jewelry cabinet.

He was a valet in name only, and Cady always felt that the other servants must be laughing at him behind his back.

Abel had no choice but to persuade Kadi to be patient.

Cardi: "Because of him, none of us can approach adults."

He said angrily, "I hope he won't come back after going out this time!"

Abel: "Hush your voice so you don't get overheard."

Cardi was just talking angrily, and he lowered his volume: "Anyway, as long as he's around, adults can't see me."

He just wants to be seen by adults and to do things for adults. When he does not do well, adults will scold him, and when he does well, adults will praise him.

He didn't like the feeling of being ignored.

Abel: "Have the female slaves been arranged?"

Cardi nodded: "I watched those female slaves go back with my own eyes."

Abel envied: "You are better than me, I can only clean the dust in the castle, but you can stand beside the adults."

Cardi also elated, but soon fell down.

He became a personal servant because he was good-looking, but if a better-looking and more capable servant appeared in the future, he would be easily replaced by him.

Chi Yan found that the servants became more enthusiastic towards him during the days when the butler was away. When the butler was there, the servants did not dare to get too close to him. Chi Yan was frightened several times by the place very close to him.

Probably because of this, Chi Yan discovered - how long has it been since the servants in the castle took a bath? !

He saw the cuffs of the servants, the wrists and the backs of the hands were two different colors, and he even felt that the dirt would be terrifyingly thick just by rubbing it.

Chi Yan finally couldn't help asking Kadi: "How often do you take a bath?"

Kadi didn't know why, so while arranging Chi Yan's clothes, he said, "Wash once on my birthday."

Chi Yan: "..."

They have a birth once a year, which means they take a bath once a year.

Chi Yan swallowed: "You... don't you have lice?"

Cardi blinked: "My lord, you don't have to worry, because we have to serve you, so we will communicate once a day."

What is Tongtou?It is to shave the scalp with a small, fine comb to scrape off the lice and eggs.

Chi Yan lost his composure for an instant!He felt itchy all over his body, and he said to Cardi: "You stay away from me, you, you go out first!"

Cardi doesn't understand what he did wrong

He was hurt, and there were tears in his eyes, but he backed out anyway.

It's just that Chi Yan didn't see Kadi's expression. As soon as Kadi left, he took off his clothes and plucked all the hair on his body. He loosened it after making sure he didn't find a single lice or an egg. tone.

How could he forget this!

He remembered seeing descriptions of the Middle Ages on the Internet before.

At that time, the king and queen defecated everywhere like the citizens, and were covered in lice.

And the king was bled to death.

Then Chi Yan issued an order that left everyone dumbfounded.

He ordered everyone on the territory to shave their hair, and everything in the house to be scalded with boiling water and then dried in the sun.

The slaves executed very quickly, they didn't care about this, they just did what the lord said.

After shaving off one head, they were ordered to wash each other's scalps to remove all the dirt on their heads. In addition, their bodies had to be washed, but they could not go to the river to wash, but to draw water from the river and heat it up. Wash it later.

The civilians can't accept it, but whether they accept it or not, it doesn't affect the forced execution.

The servants were the first to have their heads shaved and bathed, and they now had bald heads, both male and female, and they were busily washing and drying all the cloth and fur blankets in the castle.

Chi Yan also cut his hair short. His original hair reached his waist, but after cutting it, it only reached the roots of his ears.

Not only was it refreshing, it also made Chi Yan feel much more comfortable.

He hates bugs, all kinds of bugs, and whenever he sees them, he gets goosebumps all over his body.

Lice, of all the bugs, was obviously the one that frightened him the most.

When the steward and the knight returned, their heads had to be shaved, not only their heads, but all their body hair.

Kleist probably needs shaving too.

Everyone in the territory has turned into a corned head, only Chi Yan still has his hair, so as long as he appears in the territory, he is the most beautiful cub.

Cardi also shaved his hair. He used to be very good-looking, but after shaving his hair and eyebrows, he looked very weird, and his eyes were especially big. He walked carefully to Chi Yan, fearing that Chi Yan would drive him away like last time , he said pitifully: "My lord..."

Chi Yan was taken aback by Kadi again: "Where are your eyebrows?"

Cardi: "Didn't you say to shave all the hair off your body?"

Chi Yan: "..."

Do Eyebrows Get Lice?He didn't know, he'd never had lice, but shaving would be safer.

He breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good. I will take a bath often in the future. Why do you only take a bath once a year? Isn't there a holiday? A holiday is a day for you to take a bath."

Kadi looked at Chi Yan strangely: "My lord, holidays only belong to the Holy Court. Although we also have holidays, it's just a name. Only clergy can take a bath frequently."

Even bathing is restricted.

The Holy Court is really insane.

Chi Yan: "..."

Anyway, the Holy Court will not send people if there is nothing wrong. As long as he is there, he will never allow anyone in his territory to have lice on his head!

All the heads on this land belong to him!

The author has something to say: Chi Yan (voiced hoarsely): "I will never allow lice on my territory! Never!"
