Lady of the Lord From the East

Chapter 85

Since Claude wanted to gain favor, he would not forget to send a message to Felix when he persuaded Baird to go to Sardinson County.

His letter was delivered earlier than Baird's, and Felix told his subordinates to pay attention, so Baird had just arrived at Dingle with the team, and Felix knew it before contacting the castle. Baird was invited to the castle to talk in detail.

When the slave merchant was satisfied and took the certificate written by Felix himself and left the castle to collect the goods he wanted, the group of slaves also became Felix's private property.

There were so many people in the castle all of a sudden, it was impossible to live in it. The original number of slaves in the castle was only about a hundred people. These people used to work mainly for grazing and farming for the count, and their food was worse than that of serfs. It was crowded with the sheep in the barn, and the conditions were very, very poor.

But now there are more than 1,000 slaves. It's okay to crowd the barn for a while, but it's not suitable for a long time. After all, they plan to raise more cattle, sheep, and horses this year. Now these animals are still small, and the slaves live in them. It won't take up too much space, but when they grow up, there will be no place for slaves

As soon as Wei Wei heard it, she said, "Since it's not a long-term thing to let them live in the barn, it's better to build some houses on another parcel of land. If there are new slaves in the future, I'm not afraid that there will be no place to live."

Although I feel sorry for those slaves, the system at this time is like this, Wei Wei can't say anything about liberating slaves, and ordinary serfs can't be liberated, let alone the lowest slaves, all she can do is to make their lives relative to each other. better.

Other nobles may think it is too wasteful to house the slaves, and the slaves have to worry about them escaping when they move out of the castle, and the safety is also very problematic.

But most of this batch of slaves were originally foreigners, and those who were unfamiliar with the place of life would be caught if they escaped, and the punishment for escaped slaves was very severe. In a foreign country, as long as they were not subjected to too much persecution, they really couldn't survive. , they are unlikely to run.

And Felix's knight education made him have a certain compassion for the weak, maybe not very much, but enough for him to agree with the slave house.

They looked around the castle and finally decided to choose a plot of land behind the castle against the vegetable field. At that moment, it was an open space vacated for the safety of the castle. There was no farming, and there was a river beside the vegetable field. The river came from the further woodland, and the villa is on the upper stream, so this open space is also very close to the road, and the existence of the river and the moat makes the land at an angle. There is no bridge on the nearby river, but there is a moat and a castle. If you block one side, there are two out of the four directions that cannot pass. If you want to leave, you can only take the road on the right or follow the river to the woodland direction, and these two directions can be surrounded by only building a fence, so I chose this block. The local, more or less, also means to reduce the intensity of supervision.

After deciding on the location, the next step is to build a house. Naturally, the slaves did not have a good house to live in. They built an earth embryo room. They mixed the soil and chopped wheat straw and put them in a wooden frame to make embryos. It is dried in the sun, and when it is dried, it becomes a block of adobe bricks, and then use wood as a pillar these adobe bricks build house-like bricks, without cement or lime mud, only coated with the same soil and chopped wheat orange After stirring the mud paddle evenly, when the square walls are covered, the doors and windows are left, the roof is erected with beams, and the house is covered with thatch or wheat straw.
