Chapter 71 Implementation of the New System
Chapter 71 Implementation of the New System
Give freedom to slaves.
These words sounded terrifying to the saintess.
It's even a bit of a morbid curiosity.
The fate of everything in the world has long been decided by the God of Light.
Slaves are slaves; even the kindest nobles can only make their lives a little better.
How can we give them freedom?
They will die!
Not to mention that these prisoners were thieves to begin with, and being enslaved until death was considered an atonement for their sins!
This is clearly a blessing!
Zi'an asked in confusion, "Master, how do we determine... a work point system?"
Li Mosi thought for a moment and said, "You don't need to decide yet. Just tell them there's a reward."
Setting a date now would only make these prisoners feel that it's out of reach.
Moreover, he originally intended to set it by year, but found that the original owner of this body did not have an accurate calendar in his mind at all.
Instead of using a specific calendar that is accurate to the month and day, people in the manor usually describe it by adding or subtracting a few weeks from a major nearby holiday.
For example, the next festival is "Day of Praying for Grace".
It happens two to three days before winter begins.
This is a festival in which nobles and the church give alms to commoners.
Judging from the current time, today is about six weeks before the "Day of Prayer for Grace".
Li Moss planned to have these prisoners work for at least a year before making any further decisions.
The goblin population is too small.
Zi Yi nodded: "I understand, Master. That symbol..."
Li Mosi saw a goblin named Asako approaching and said briefly, "I'll help you with the design tonight."
"Chief, the meal is almost ready."
Zi Yi turned to Zi An and Li Mosi and repeated, "Dinner will be ready soon."
"Huh, so fast? My end..."
As Zi'an spoke, he looked up at the direction of the fields.
She was so engrossed in chatting that she didn't let the prisoners in the fields stop working.
Li Mosi and Zi Yi also looked at the field.
Perhaps because we don't need to move fertilizer, the area of loosened soil today is about ten acres.
Zi'an looked at Li Mosi: "Master, should we still do as you said during the day?"
Those six goblins did a lot of work for these guys today.
It feels like they got a chance to slack off.
"Just do it this way, add meat to everything today." Li Mosi looked at Zi Yi, "Just throw some meat into the pot. But don't throw in too much."
The captured food could be preserved for a long time without much processing.
Even the cheapest stale bread is the same.
They don't have the extra materials or time to process and preserve the fresh wild boar meat.
Instead of encouraging the prisoners, let's get them motivated to finish loosening the soil and cut down all the trees.
Zi Yi nodded: "Understood."
He turned to the goblin and gave the order.
Zi'an then went to let the prisoners finish their work.
It's no use not working; everyone's already slacking off.
It was mealtime again, and the goblins and prisoners lined up in an orderly fashion.
Zi Yi first looked at the goblins: "Fish Legs, Long Ears, Scarred Back, Sprained Ankle, Insect-Eating, and Cowardly. Come out here."
Six obviously tired goblins stepped out of the line, looking completely bewildered.
The other goblins also focused their attention on them.
Zi Yi announced, "You six have done well recently. I grant you permission to take up new weapons and become my warriors!"
"real?!"
Fish Leg was so excited that it subconsciously took two steps forward, but its legs gave way and it collapsed to its knees.
The goblins' astonished gazes around it made its hair stand on end.
Fish Leg instinctively knelt down and shouted, "Thank you, Chief!"
The five goblins behind him also knelt down.
"Thank you, Chief!"
The fish leg's body was somewhat tense.
Fortunately, these guys didn't realize they had embarrassed themselves.
Zi nodded and picked up the weapons that had been placed to the side: "Get up and take your weapons. Tomorrow, Fish Leg, Sprained Ankle, and Coward, the three of you will train with the team, and the other three will watch over the prisoners."
"Yes! Thank you, Chief!"
Fish Leg quickly stood up.
It walked up to Zi Yi, took the spear thrower and training spear, examined the spear thrower, and then carefully looked at the holes on the back of the spear.
The six goblins received their weapons and returned to the group.
After dealing with the goblins, Zi Yi looked at the prisoners.
"You all did a great job today. I'll give each of you a piece of meat as a reward, just as we agreed! As long as you work hard as required, I won't be stingy!"
"Thank you, sir!"
The prisoners need to be more cooperative today.
The expressions of gratitude came faster and were more enthusiastic than the day before yesterday.
What followed was as usual: food was distributed, dinner was eaten, and the prisoners were put together and returned to their caves.
Once the campfire was lit, Li Mosi walked back to the stone table: "Read the pinyin chart and numbers once, and I'll see how proficient you are now."
The two disciples quickly read it aloud in unison.
There has been a significant improvement compared to last night.
Ziyi read it very fluently.
Zi'an was slightly influenced by Zi Yi, but she could still read clearly.
Clearly, both disciples practiced on their own while supervising the work.
His attitude towards learning is very good.
After listening, Li Mosi nodded: "Good, you've learned very well. Tonight I will lead you through the first section of the Thousand Character Classic and teach you addition and subtraction between zero and ten."
The former involves putting pinyin into more practical applications, while the latter involves putting numbers into practical applications.
The underlying teaching objectives are the same.
To help the two disciples establish more connections between the abstract symbols in their minds.
Once the basic connections are established smoothly, more education can begin.
Li Mosi once again had her two disciples stand beside her.
He pointed to the pinyin with the pen and said, "Te, Yiyan, Tian..."
"Te, Yiyan, Tian..."
That evening, Li Mosi saw a new clue.
[Support Resources Exchange Unlock - "Mathematics (Introduction)"]
It's not working right now.
Let's wait until the two disciples have learned addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division within ten before we talk about it.
……
The saint was tied to her bedside and fell asleep listening to the short, clear but incomprehensible chanting.
She felt as if she had returned to the warm sunshine.
But when I opened my eyes again, I was in a dark cave.
The dimly lit sky offered only a sliver of light to the cave, allowing her to barely make out the outlines of things inside.
"Get up, hurry up."
Li Mosi woke the saintess up and pulled her up.
Today was another busy workday.
Once everything was ready, Zi Yi took out an ink block and drew a pattern on the chest of each of the twelve prisoners.
"For every tree you cut down today, call the supervisors once, and I will have them mark your work."
"Each of you must cut down at least eight trees each day. You can write down any extra trees. Eight trees will be counted as one point. Two points can be exchanged for a fist-sized piece of raw meat or other meat of equal value. Five points can be exchanged for a day of rest."
"If you can make a great contribution, you can get extra points."
The prisoners stared at each other, not understanding what Zi Yi meant.
Only two prisoners who were originally regular employees lowered their heads.
Li Moss advised, "Explain some simple and easy-to-understand principles to them."
Ziyi nodded.
After organizing his thoughts, he began, "Yesterday when we were cutting down trees, some of you worked very hard, but you were dragged down by those who didn't. That's not fair to you."
"Therefore, I will no longer calculate merits by team. Instead, I will calculate them based on your individual efforts. This will prevent you from being dragged down by others."
"We goblins aren't as bad as humans. At least we're never harsh on our own kind. As long as you settle down and work hard, I'll make sure you get what you deserve."
If you break it down and put it simply, the prisoners who were originally slaves finally understood.
"Thank you, sir!"
Rewards will no longer be given to teams; instead, each person will be rewarded individually.
They had happy expressions on their faces.
The slaves were simply uneducated, but they were not stupid.
Yesterday, they worked themselves to the bone just to grow one more tree. Even if they don't know what the problem is, they know there must be something wrong.
The goblin lord in front of them then took care of the problem.
Only two prisoners who were originally regular employees were not very happy.
They've just found a lazy way to do things!
That won't work.
They glanced at Zwan, who remained expressionless.
Well, I'll be rescued in a few days anyway, as long as I'm safe and alive.
Regardless of whether they were happy or disappointed, Zi Yi led the team down the mountain to work.
As always, Li Mosi spent the morning with Zi'an, making more weapons and tools while watching her practice spear throwing and learn new knowledge.
He would correct any mistakes he made.
In the afternoon, he went to Ziyi's place to see how his practice was going.
"Hmm, not bad."
I remember and heard most of the content clearly.
Li Mosi gave Ziyi a simple test and then helped him review.
Just then, a goblin responsible for gathering suddenly ran back and stopped in front of Zi Yi.
"Chief! The goblins are back!"
