NOVEL NEXT Chapter 38 - Several Arrangements! Castle Blueprints!
“Good day, Lord~”
As Richard arrived, people at the construction site greeted him one after another.
“Ellie, Brian, a few of you come over here,” Richard called out to a few individuals.
These people were appointed to supervise different areas of the site. The slim and frail girl Ellie had even greater authority because she was responsible for more tasks.
Usually, she and a few supervisors would tally up everyone’s wages, and then Richard would distribute them. Otherwise, Richard would be busy all day.
“Lord!”
Several people came over.
Richard said, “Go and find out who can do accounting, and then gather all the literate people.”
“Yes, lord,” Ellie said as she and the supervisors went to inquire.
Meanwhile, Richard walked around the construction site with the two cat girls.
He would visit the site every day, and seeing him daily made the workers more diligent.
The viewers in the livestream also liked to see the progress of the castle construction every day.
Now, the city walls were completely finished. Richard planned to add another two or three meters to it, and then half of the people could be assigned elsewhere.
A lot of scaffolding was still in place below the city walls.
Richard had bought all these scaffolds online.
For the people in this world, it was the first time they had seen scaffolding, and after using it, everyone marveled at how convenient it was.
Now, everyone in Richard’s territory deeply respected him.
Because Richard was not only a noble wizard, but he always had countless strange and wonderful things to offer. Every item he introduced was something they had never seen or heard of before.
For example, some brightly colored toys, which made the children at home very happy when they were bought back.
Or delicious bread, tasty chicken legs, hair ties, hair clips, and pins.
Each item made them feel very curious.
Of course, they didn’t know that Richard hadn’t released many more convenient and better things, after all, with so few people, and not much money, they couldn’t afford expensive items.
So, Richard’s prestige in the territory was getting higher and higher. He found that the reputation he gained from the lottery was comprehensive, not only depending on the popularity of the livestream, but also on the reputation in the territory, and the weight of the reputation in the territory was a bit higher.
Although the reputation required for later lotteries was increasing, Richard had drawn another lottery in the past few days.
This time, a considerable reputation was required, accumulated over several days.
However, the prizes from the lottery were also pretty good.
This time, he drew an intermediate archery.
Probably because it was intermediate, there was only one reward.
In other words, Richard’s archery had gone from beginner to intermediate.
【I saw them!】
【Ha ha, finally caught a glimpse again!】
[NotYourDaddy] rewarded with 1 Super Rocket. Comment: The third shot, deal!
[RidingPigsChasingSun] rewarded with 1 Super Rocket. Comment: Deal!
[CoolSinceChildhood] rewarded with 1 Super Rocket. Comment: Deal!
[EatingSleepingPlayingGames]…
In the live chat, as Richard walked around the construction site with the two cat girls, the netizens eagerly awaited to catch a glimpse of them.
During the automatic shooting by the system, the occasional appearance of the two cat girls sent the viewers into a frenzy.
Thanks to the appearance of the two cat girls, the number of online viewers in Richard’s livestream had exceeded 500,000, and there were quite a few wealthy ones among them.
Some viewers who used to only occasionally give rewards also emerged.
Just promising to give one shot would reward the streamer with 1 Rocket, or a Super Rocket, there were more than a dozen users like this.
These users were true to their word.
The atmosphere in the live chat became especially lively.
However, “Cute Big-Eyed Bunny” and “Richard’s New Fangirl,” who often rewarded, did not give rewards this time. After all, they were more interested in seeing the anchor!
Richard still ignored the live chat. After patrolling for a while, Ellie and the others brought the people over.
There were only three people who could do accounting, and there were over forty literate people.
So, Richard publicly announced a decree, which was to give these literate people an extra copper coin in their daily wages.
Money rewards were the most practical.
He hoped that everyone in his territory would become good students who loved learning in the future. In this way, he would have more talents to use.
Not surprisingly, Richard’s decree attracted the envy of everyone.
Ordinary people only earned seven copper coins a day, so being able to earn one more copper coin was simply delightful.
In addition, Richard assigned these literate people to be in charge of building a school.
Yes, Richard planned to build a school in the newly built city, not to teach too advanced things, just literacy and arithmetic.
Moreover, both children and adults could attend.
These over forty literate people had just received a wage increase, and each one of them felt even prouder of their literacy. When the school was built, they would surely be even more responsible.
【The streamer’s moves are impressive!】
【The civilizational mentor of the other world!】
【Yes, yes, the anchor is invincible, can we see the cat girls again?】
In the live chat, the viewers discussed as they watched.
Richard then gave raises to the three accountants. There was only one accountant in Richard’s territory, and the other two were from other noble’s territories.
After Richard’s promises, the two middle-aged men with decent education were moved. They decided to move their families here in a couple of days.
Yes, Richard promised housing, high wages, and tax exemptions.
This was also considered a priceless opportunity.
He valued educated talent so much that in the future, some people who were not successful elsewhere might come to his territory. By then, Richard would have more people to use.
These three people, Richard gave them a very simple task, which was to be responsible for tallying up and recording the wages of each person every day.
Richard was planning to change the daily wage settlement to weekly. Daily settlements were too troublesome.
Immediately after, he arranged for Tieling the Minotaur to take some people to raise the city walls.
Then he found several craftsmen and took out the blueprints for castle construction.
【Anchor, let me take a look at the blueprints. I have a master’s degree in architecture!】
【Me too, I’ll help you reference.】
In the live chat, as soon as Richard took out the blueprints, there were immediately some high achievers who popped up.
