Succubus' Manor

Although he has theoretical knowledge, Chi Yan still encountered a difficult problem, that is, do the grapes in the tank need to be stirred? Is it easy to brew bad?

No one could answer this question for him.

He could only tell the servants to start half of the vat for stirring three days ago, and leave the other half there without touching it.

Even if you lose, you only lose half.

But he still remembers that after a week of fermentation, it needs to be filtered, and then the filtered wine is sealed again for 30 days.

The slaves have no work recently, and rainy days can't open up wasteland. Chi Yan is also worried that they will catch a cold and get sick without medicine, and he doesn't give them work. Only the housekeeper is worried that this will raise lazy slaves.

"You can't treat them so well!" the butler was very firm, "This will make them lazy!"

Chi Yan sighed: "But it's been raining recently, even if I ask them to do something, I can't find them."

Steward: "They still had to work when it rained before!"

He felt that Chi Yan was too kind.

Chi Yan asked him: "Will the slaves who were exposed to the rain get sick and die?"

The butler said, "Adults won't, children will."

"My lord, you will keep them lazy." The housekeeper said, "Even if you don't let them go to the rain, let them do things, otherwise you will raise them for nothing. After a long time, they will find a way to be lazy all the time, because you know You are a kind person."

What the housekeeper said also made sense, people are good at bullying, it's the same everywhere.

The two discussed and discussed, and finally came up with a way to let the slaves do some manual work, which can be sold to merchants in the city at that time. The dwarves can do some wood carvings. They have this talent. As for the goblins and the human race , you can weave some rattan frames. Although you can’t buy them at a high price, they are creating value anyway.

The tauren are troublesome - they are born with strength, but they can't do fine work, and any task that requires brain power or finger dexterity will definitely break things.

Even forging iron, Chi Yan didn't let the tauren go. Forging iron also requires skill, not just physical work.

So what the tauren have to do is much simpler.

They just have to take care of the wine.

Originally, Chi Yan was worried that slaves of other races would think that the tauren had an easier job than them, and would be dissatisfied.

As a result, except for the trembling tauren, the other slaves had no opinion at all.

Chi Yan also asked the cook Anna curiously.

Anna was straightforward.

"No one has ever brewed wine. If it goes bad, it's their responsibility." Anna said it as a matter of course.

If the lord asked the slave to do something, but the slave did not do it well, he would be punished.

The punishment is very severe, and most slaves will die as a result of the punishment.

So once you make a mistake, it is basically tantamount to death.

Nobody wanted to die, not even slaves.

So after dinner, Chi Yan went to chat with Kleist, and he asked Kleist a little sadly: "What do you think of me changing the punishment in the territory?"

The current punishment method is to hang the slaves and beat them.

Hanging up for a day and a night, and facing severe beatings and water splashing again and again, even the iron body could not bear it.

What's more, the slaves have not had enough to eat and are malnourished all year round. If they come to such a situation, they will basically die.

Kleist looked at Chi Yan, and he asked, "How do you want to change? If it's not serious enough, you can't control people."

This Chi Yan knows that if the punishment is not strong enough, some lazy people will get worse. As long as they give up the benefits of hard work, it is impossible for Chi Yan to beat them to death directly.

"Then drive them out." Chi Yan thinks this is the best way.

But Kleist shook his head and said: "If they go out, then everyone will know that you are brewing wine, forging weapons, and stealing the loom of the Holy Academy. You will face countless enemies, and you lack the ability to protect yourself." ability."

Chi Yan looked at him: "Then... what can I do?"

He was not surprised, everything had to be explored, and he was not a managerial talent. If he had that ability, why would he study art? He had already studied business management.

Maybe you can receive an offer from the top [-] companies in the country as soon as you graduate.

Chi Yan slumped on the chair: "I really can't think of it."

Let him think about how to increase food production, or how to brew rice wine, let him think about how to punish people, he can only think of the ten tortures of the Qing Dynasty.

If the slave is lazy, he will give ten tortures to people. Isn't this too cruel?

And being in prison doesn’t work either—there is food and drink in the prison, and maybe those who want to be lazy can’t wait to go to prison. They eat and sleep every day, and don’t worry about being hungry. Wouldn’t it be nice?

Modern methods cannot be copied here.

What Chi Yan accepted in modern times cannot be implemented here. This is still slavery, and there is no such thing as equality and democracy, and no one knows how important the word freedom is.

"Kleist." Chi Yan blinked, "Do you have any ideas?"

Kleist laughed. It seemed that Chi Yan was also not good at something, so he said, "The easiest way is to make them hungry. If they don't work, they won't have food."

Chi Yan: "But now the slaves are all working together..."

It is hardest to distinguish when mixed together.

And there are not so many people in charge who can keep an eye on everyone.

At this moment, Chi Yan had a flash of inspiration: "I know! Disrupt each race and divide them into groups!"

The same race sometimes shelters each other, but not mixed together.

They will supervise each other, compete with each other, and enter a virtuous circle.

Chi Yan looked at Kleist gratefully: "Thank you."

Kleist stretched out his hand, he really wanted to touch Chi Yan's head, but finally held back, and took his hand back.

Chi Yan didn't know that he almost scratched his head just now, so he returned to the room very excitedly, and wrote down the solution he just thought of on the parchment with a quill pen.

He also knows that there are still many rules in the territory that need to be changed, but he is not in a hurry, take his time, anyway, he still has a lot of time.

Tauren Toby was stirring the wine, he was a little scared, turned his head to look at the clansmen standing beside him who were doing the same thing as him, every clansman was very disturbed.

The most delicate work they ever did was digging tree roots out of the ground.

Toby swallowed his saliva. He was recognized as the most courageous person by his peers. For this "recognition", he had to be the first to move.

So he took the clean wooden stick next to him, carefully put it into the tank, and stirred it with his minimum strength.

He didn't know when was the best time to stir. When the small bubbles in the tank disappeared, Toby took out the stick.

He said to his companions: "This should be all right."

The companions follow suit, they dare not make up their own minds, they can only expect someone to make up their minds.

After the tank was resealed, the Tauren breathed a sigh of relief—they felt it was much easier to open up wasteland than to do this.

It wasn't until they left the warehouse that the tauren whispered: "If the wine we stir spoils, how will the adults punish us?"

The tauren shivered in unison.

Toby stood up at this time and said: "No! We are the most obedient!"

But the tauren themselves don't think so. They have always been obedient, but the previous lords have never been lenient when punishing their kindred.

A tauren whispered: "This job is too difficult!"

The same clan echoed: "Yes!"

It's as if instead of churning wine vats, they just invented the airplane.

Toby was also worried, but he knew that he was the calmest tauren here. He said, "My lord is a kind man! As long as we do what the lord told us to do, we will not be punished!"

He had no idea what he said.

But the same race was appeased.

Thinking of all the good deeds of the new lord, they all felt that they should not be punished too severely.

The slaves were working, and Chi Yan was also observing. He found that the slaves were so honest that none of them was lazy. He didn't know why, so he asked the housekeeper.

The steward said in a matter-of-fact tone: "In the past, there were goblins who were lazy and were moved out at night and thrown away by their peers. No slave wants to wake up and find himself in the woods, and he may not be able to find his way."

Chi Yan: "..."

He forgot about it.

Just a week later, when it was time to open the vat, Chi Yan used the fine cloth that the lord could use to filter the wine. When the lid of the vat was opened, there was a strong smell of fermentation in the nostrils, that is, the fruit had been left for a long time The taste of natural fermentation later.

Already smelled of wine.

The servants filter out the impurities in the wine tank, which are actually the peel and undissolved pulp, and then pour the filtered wine into a clean tank and re-seal it. For a better seal, mud is applied to the side of the lid.

Chi Yan found that the stirred wine fermented better, and he could smell it clearly without even tasting it.

So Chi Yan called the tauren over for questioning.

The tauren were terrified, and what they said didn't make sense. Only one tauren named Toby was a little better, but he also stammered for a long time before Chi Yan understood what he meant.

"You're very smart." Chi Yan praised Toby.

Toby's face was flushed, his eyes were shining brightly, and he lowered his head shyly, only daring to stare at Chi Yan's toes.

Such a noble lord, if he took another look, it would be a blasphemy to the other party.

The dwarves have made a lot of wooden products. With good tools, their carved wood carvings are lifelike. Now there are many of their works in the castle, and the rattan frames woven by goblins and humans are also very good.

Now wait for the rain to stop, the knights will take people to transport these things to the city, and then pay a good price.

Chi Yan excitedly took the wood carving and was about to tell Kleist that now they don't have to sit and eat, at least they have a way to get money.

He was so excited that he forgot to knock on the door.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw a man with his back turned to him.

The man has a cascade of black hair.

Chi Yan was stunned at the door.

——Who is this person?
