Chapter 59 - Understaffed
Colin looked at Nord’s back, feeling moved and guilty. Lord Nord is different from the nobles Colin knew before. In Colin’s perception, nobles are a group of moody and powerful people who have the power to live and kill. , So you have to be very careful when dealing with them.
But Nord broke Colin’s impression of aristocrats. Colin had never seen such aristocrats. He was kind, humble, sincere, and wise. Especially Nord still maintained his trust in Colin, which moved Colin very much.
“Master Nord, it is my honor to be able to work for you. I will never make such a mistake again.”
Colin now knows that all the clever things he played before have been seen through by Lord Nord. In order to maintain his position and Tammy Village’s position, he is completely dissatisfied with Nord’s plan to develop the mountain. It is better to work diligently.
“It’s fine if you understand. I came to you today to arrange a new task for you. I hope I can do it with the same heart as before. Stop playing tricks. I have a sentence for you from my hometown called If great wisdom is foolish, smart people will never show that they are smart. I hope you can understand.”
Nord seriously told Colin that, to be honest, Nord values Colin far less than Lehman and the Reid brothers, but as their father, Colin has a very unique position, which makes Nord have to think carefully about Colin’s handling, I hope Colin understands his good intentions.
“Thank you for your trust, Lord Nord, I understand, the person who can say this sentence must be a wise man, I am ashamed of my previous behavior.”
When Colin heard Nord’s words, his face showed a thoughtful look. Nord’s words seemed to touch Colin’s heart. Since Colin returned to Tammy Village as the village chief, he knew that he was the tower. The smartest person in Mi Village, and he was so complacent about it, he didn’t realize until today that what he did before looked like a funny clown in the eyes of Lord Nord.
“Okay, Mr. Colin, even if the previous things are over, you still need your help to build a brand-new Tammy Village.”
Nord smiled and looked at Colin, what the words revealed was to let him not care about the past and look forward.
“Master Nord, I admire you for your generosity. I will do everything you ask me in the future.”
Hearing Nord’s comfort, Colin assured Nord that he would never make such a mistake again. Nord nodded and immediately began to assign tasks to Colin.
“I not only found iron ore in the forest yesterday, but also found a valley full of bauhinia trees. Today you can take people there to pick some and make powder.”
“In addition, construction of the iron ore mine is about to start. You have also arranged a group of people to do some preparatory work.”
Hearing Nord’s arrangement, Colin showed a look of embarrassment on his face, hesitated for a while or opened his mouth to report to Nord.
“I will arrange for someone to do it, but Lord Nord, there is not enough manpower in Tammy Village.”
Nord was taken aback. Due to too many things these days, he had forgotten this problem. When building the manor before, Nord felt that there was not enough manpower. Sure enough, the population of Tammy Village had reached its maximum limit.
But the population problem cannot be solved in a short while. This is why Nord values those cottages because they can provide Nord with a large population.
However, the far away cannot quench the near thirst. Even the people from the remote cottages, Nord can not be able to mobilize, let alone other cottages. It is still necessary to find other ways to develop the cottage. De thought for a moment.
“Then suspend other work first, prioritize the concentration of manpower, and build the iron ore and various workshops first. As for the shortage of manpower, I will slowly think of a solution.”
This is the only way that NORD can think of to develop without delay. There must be some choices and focus on establishing various workshops first.
“Understood, Lord Nord, I will withdraw the road repairers and yam planters first.”
Nord nodded to Colin and motioned him to follow him to the workshop.
Came to the workshop area on the east side of the village. Except for the blacksmith shop, the foundations of the other two workshops have been laid. It seems that within a few days, the fur and carpenter workshops can be opened.
Abel’s butler had already supervised the villagers on the construction site early in the morning, and he hurriedly greeted them when they saw Nord and Colin approaching.
“Master Nord, Mayor Colin, why are you here.”
Colin smiled embarrassedly at Abel’s butler. Nord did not see Colin’s expression behind him, and looked at Abel with his brows furrowed, his tone a little solemn.
“Abel, if you take people to build mines and brick workshops in the mountains now, how long and how many people will it take?”
Although Abel didn’t know the purpose of Nord and Colin, he couldn’t help being a little worried for the head of Colin when he saw the solemn expression.
When the manor was built before, the relationship between Abel and Colin was still good~www.mtlnovel.com~ During this period, Abel was also constantly persuading Colin to reflect on himself. Building roads and collecting powder were one of Colin’s suggestions in Abe. He took the initiative to do it. Seeing them like this, Abel thought that Nord and Colin had not made a deal.
But as a loyal butler, Abel did not plead with Nord for Colin. The duty of the butler is to help his master to solve problems, not to cause them trouble.
Abel did a little bit in his heart. No one knows these construction matters better than him. From coming to Tammy Village until now, Abel has been responsible for the construction task.
“It takes about three construction teams, and it takes about four or five days. As for how many people are needed to operate the brick workshop and mine, I don’t know.”
Nord nodded and said that he knew that Abel’s calculations should not be wrong. Look at the workshop area. There are probably two or three teams. When the manor was built, there were a total of six teams. Now they are still being used. Now the manpower has reached a very nervous point.
“Abel, you should first transfer two teams of villagers from here, the head of Colin, you will go back to the village immediately and call all the other teams over. The workshop must be built these days.”
Abel and Colin glanced at each other. Abel gave Colin an encouraging look, which made Colin’s heart warm. Just when they were about to leave, Nord stopped them again.
“Wait a minute, you guys will tell the villagers later that these two days have been harder, especially for villagers in the mountains and forests. You can pay more as a reward. The specifics are, Abel, you can decide.”
Nord rubbed his eyebrows, and felt a little worried. Since there is not enough manpower, I can only improve efficiency a little bit. Only by resorting to overtime can NORD further arouse the enthusiasm of the villagers.
