Warlord: King of All Clans

During this period, when digging the planned canal, the construction team encountered a stone foundation, and Old Sam naturally led the laborers to bypass them.

Not only that, the construction of the river dam outside the village is also very slow. According to Old Sam's prediction, it will definitely not be completed before the end of the dry season.

If summer comes and the river water rises, there is no need to reclaim the hundreds of acres of planned wasteland along the river because they will all be flooded by the river.

The village has limited areas that can be reclaimed. Since they can't go to the river, they can only deal with the primeval forests full of towering trees and build longer canals to provide water.

But the head craftsman who provided the technology told Old Sam that he could fill out an application form and send it to the administrative hall of Linhai Town, asking them to send a professional engineering team for support.

Old Sam couldn't write at all, but he was not without a way. Upon hearing the news, he immediately rode his donkey and took two militiamen to Linhai Town to visit his eldest daughter.

His daughter Bessie has been running a pancake stall in Linhai Town for three months. Not to mention how much money she has made, the point is that she now lives in the lord's mansion!

Because refugees were recruited again after the spring, and a large number of residents and militiamen went out of the city to work, the public security in Linhai Town, which was at the forefront, was a little chaotic. Many thefts and robberies occurred in the town, and petty thefts in the market were rampant.

Some time ago, there were even two incidents of home robbery and murder.

Although with the assistance of the Gnoll Scouts, the Linhai Town Security Militia captured the murderer the next day, the town still fell into panic.

Little Noyce needed to go out on duty, and was worried about Bessie who was alone, so he sought help from sister Agata.

Even though he was demoted by Rio to Linhai Town, which is very remote from Hewan, to improve his qualifications, he still has connections here!

The highest civil official in Linhai Town, Mayor Agata, is from the same village and clan as him who migrated from the north to the south. The highest military official, Captain Knight Solovy, was his former swordsmanship instructor.

So when Agatha heard little Noyes's request for help, she arranged Bessie to live in the lord's mansion without any further explanation, rented her a room at a low price, and allowed her to use the kitchen in the mansion.

The lord's house in Linhai Town was used by Agata as an administrative hall, but the permanent residents were only Agata and Solovy, a couple, and a few maids who followed them.

The lord's house is as magnificent as the river bend, with a lot of empty rooms.

In addition to selling cakes at the stall every day, Bessie also worked as a cook in the lord's mansion, cooking food for the mansion members. Soon, even the rent she paid was waived.

When old Sam found time to visit her, Bessie gave him the twenty silver coins she had saved and asked him to take them back to supplement the family income.

What else is there to say?

Old Sam was sure that his judgment was correct and that his daughter had married into a rich family.

He was also a retired soldier from the Lord's Army. Which of the heavy Northern warhorse that Little Noyes rode, the legion chain mail and plate chest armor he wore, and the armored cavalry eye socket helmet on his head could be related to soldiers of the Lord's Army?

Moreover, the other party is polite in speech and literate, so he must be a child of nobility!

Although marrying a nobleman may not necessarily be a good thing, it is better than starving in the village!

As for the idea of ​​earning twenty silver coins by selling wheat cakes for a few months, Old Sam simply didn't believe it.

Just think of it as a betrothal gift.

Old Sam planned to save another thirty silver coins to exchange for a silver bracelet at a shop in Linhai Town, and then catch two piglets to make up the dowry for his daughter.

In fact, Bessie earned much more than that. She could earn one silver coin a day at the beginning, and later she was exempted from house rent, so her net income was even higher.

But Bessie planned to rent a shop and open a bakery, and now it has reached the preparation stage, so she could only leave twenty silver coins for her old father.

This time, Old Sam came to the lord's house in Linhai Town, carrying two legs of venison as a gift. Through Bessie's relationship, he met directly with the mayor Agatha.

After listening to Old Sam's purpose, Agatha filled out an application form for him in person, and it was delivered to the Lord's Mansion in Hewan Town the next day.

Olivia signed the application form, and based on the engineering difficulty rating given by the technicians, Freya's engineering team was finally dispatched.

The next day, the dog-headed man Doberman, accompanied by the ogre Bobo and the skilled craftsman Billy, appeared outside Village No. 7 in Linhai Town, following Freya.

The entire No. 7 Village had a total of one hundred workers responsible for repairing the canal, including the river bend craftsmen.

But this project that a hundred people could not handle was just a day's work for Freya.

Her excavation techniques are now at perfection, with leaps and bounds in both speed and quality.

The stone channel walls will be built with a suitable slope according to the requirements of human craftsmen, and a step for drawing water will be dug every hundred meters, as well as ditches leading to the fields and diverting water for irrigation.

Of course, these items are at extra charge.

She is very busy now, juggling several jobs, and doesn't always have time to work, so her wages are very high.

Leo rode Pegasus and landed outside Village No. 7, once again refreshing the villagers' cognition.

Kobolds drive carts, ogres pull carriages, giant bears dig canals, and now there are Pegasus as mounts.

The villagers saw more magical things in one day than they had in their previous half of their lives.

Leo got off his horse and found Freya, who was arguing with the head craftsman.

The head craftsman was helpless and said, "You only worked for one day, so I can only credit you for one day's work."

Freya shrunk to a size suitable for quarreling, and used her claws to calculate for the head craftsman, "But it takes me one day to get here, and one day to go back, so I have to record it as three days' work!"

Hewan's support engineering team follows formal procedures, and no matter how much work is done, it will only take effect after the signature of the on-site person in charge.

The head craftsman agreed with Freya's statement very much, but he did not dare to risk being hung up by Leo as a public display by giving Freya false accounts.

What's more, this groundhog has no control over its mouth.

"Then you will be given one day's work, in parentheses, for a two-day round trip."

"No!" Freya shook her head and whispered to the head craftsman, "I can give you a 20% kickback!"

The chief craftsman reluctantly agreed, thinking that he could not take kickbacks, so he could only write down these words verbatim in the construction log and wait for the lord's decision.

After the two finished their discussion, they turned around and saw Leo standing behind them.

After listening to their conversation, Leo was very surprised at Freya's growth rate and wondered, "How come you learned to falsify accounts and take kickbacks without paying attention? Who taught you this?"

Freya was very proud, with her paws on her hips, "It's Wu Jin."

"The captain of the infantry who was fired for drinking and causing trouble every day?"

"Yes!" Freya nodded. "He is now the head of the Seventh Engineering Team. He is amazing. He made enough money to buy a building in just three months!"

Leo nodded, "Great, I get it."

Wu Jin was one of the early militia captains in Riverbend. Because he often disobeyed military orders, he was eventually expelled from the Lord's Army by Leo after the third expansion.

Uliyang has always taken good care of such early veterans. Unable to resist Wu Jin's crying and pleading, he asked his daughter to arrange a civil affairs management position for him.

Unexpectedly, this guy turned out to be a talent in the civil affairs department. In just three months, he earned as much as his colleagues did in three years.

Freya easily betrayed a fellow corrupt official, and asked, "What are you doing here? Do you want kickbacks too? You don't know how to dig a canal!"

Leo explained his purpose, "Your mother is back."

"Ah!" Freya turned and ran towards the Pegasus, without any surprise in her scream.

“My snack!”
