As soon as he walked out of the door of the manor, Reed, who had already been impatient, began to report his work achievements to Nord over the past ten days.

"Lord, in the past ten days, I have planted more than 100 acres of yam on the west side of the village. There is a huge mountainous area where we are all yam fields."

Seeing Reed's look like you were about to praise me, Nord was indeed a little surprised. He didn't arrange many people with Reed. The labor force in the village was basically dominated. Adult men either joined the guard or built manors on construction sites. The women went to nearby forests to dig yam every day. Especially after Nord purchased it at the price of two copper shells per kilogram of yam, the women in the village even got up early and went to the mountains to dig yam late, so Reed had few people at all.

Originally, Nord planned to ask Reed to do some preliminary preparations, acquire some yams collected by the villagers, and then water them to make them sprout. As for the planting issue, Nord did not give much hope. After all, Reed had too few laborers. Nord originally planned to wait until the manor was built before letting the villagers plant them. Unexpectedly, Reed, who was careless overall, had such an excellent completion rate.

"How did you boy do it? I really underestimate you."

"Hehe, Lord Nord, it's nothing. It's just that a lot of yams sprouted a while ago, and I couldn't contact you. I was so anxious that I almost jumped to the roof. What should I do if no one came to help me? I beg my father, but he didn't help me. He also said that this is my own business and I have to find a way to solve it myself."

"On the way back, I happened to see half-aged children in the village running wildly on the road, so I came up with a good idea, guess what it is?"

"You've found a minor child in the village?"

Nord raised his eyebrows. Influenced by his previous life, Nord never regarded minors in the village as labor force, but this place is different from his previous life. Children are not the flowers of the motherland. Teenagers have to help their mothers do housework and farm work. Not to mention this place, even in the mountainous areas where the economy is underdeveloped in their previous life, the same is true for minors. Children of poor people have long been in the family.

"I promised in the name of the messenger that when they grow up, they can join the army under my hands, plus the reward of one bread every day, so I coaxed them over. Lord Nord, you don't know how much these kids want to join your guard, playing the game of the guard every day, running around the village."

Nord sighed, there was nothing he could do. Nord originally planned to ask Butler Abel to recruit some teenage children, teach them their writing knowledge, and slowly cultivate talents from an early age.

There was basically only Colin's family in the village to learn to read, thanks to Colin's early mercenary life. The leader of the mercenary group, who was a nobleman, taught Colin some of his writings. Colin cherished this and passed on this knowledge to Lehman and Reed.

"Since you have organized these children in the village, they will be under your control in the future. You will recruit all children over ten years old. After a while, I will ask Housekeeper Abel to teach them knowledge. As for the matter of growing yam, let them leave it to the idle villagers."

"Okay, Lord Nord, I've left those kids to me. Can I go on a forest adventure with you next?"

"Didn't you say you are responsible for recruiting those children? You are also responsible for growing yams. Going into the mountains... Forget it, you will be very busy next time. I want you to go with me. After all, you are my messenger, but you don't have time."

"Ah? I still have to do these things. I did such a good job, can't you reward me for going into the mountain once?"

"You should indeed be rewarded, but you really can't take you into the mountains, uh... I think the children you recruit should have a formal name, so... call it the Young Pioneer, Reed, I now appoint you as the captain of the Young Pioneer. You have to be like your brother Lehman, and you will become a mature and steady captain."

Reed felt a little aggrieved when he heard that he could not enter the mountain, but after being appointed as the captain of the Young Pioneer Team by Nord, Reed smiled happily again. Although he could not enter the mountain, he was at least promoted. The captain of the Young Pioneer Team, the name was very majestic when he heard it. Reed liked this position very much.

"Yes! Lord Nord, please ensure that you complete the task!"

Finally, Reed was scared. There were too few people under his command, so he could only let Reed stay and take care of the scene. After arranging the affairs of the village, Nord took Reed back to Colin's courtyard and happened to meet Molly who came out of the wooden house.

"Mr. Nord, you are back. Are you going to see those wild boars? The piglets have grown a lot these days."

As soon as Molly reminded Nord, she remembered that she had caught a wild boar and was walking in the backyard of Colin's house and handed it over to Molly for feeding. Now she doesn't know what's going on. After all, it's related to her future pig farming plan, so Nord wants to go and take a look. Under Molly's leadership, Nord came to the backyard.

The pigpen uses a thicker fence to prevent the female wild boar from escaping. What surprised Nord was that the Yat brother and sister were standing in front of the pigpen, muttering words.

"Big wild boar, come here! I'm not afraid of you."

As he said that, Yat threw the yam in his hand at the sow. The sow that was hit did not react much. I don’t know whether it was because of the two little guys that were not threatening or the lazy nature of the pig, the sow bowed his head, ate the yam in his mouth, and continued to close his eyes.

When the Yat brothers and sisters heard the movement behind them, they saw that Nord had not been back for a long time. They happened to meet the wild boar that he bullied him, and they were so scared that they hid behind Molly.

Nord was speechless. Is he so scary? Logically speaking, his appearance is quite pretty, with dark hair and dark eyes, and his face lines are softer. Why does every time Yat sees himself, he is like seeing a ghost? Nord smiled bitterly and ignored this issue.

When he walked to the front of the pigpen, the pigpen was divided into three rooms, each with a sow and eight or nine piglets in it. Nord mainly observed the piglets. These piglets were surrounded by the sows, which were a whole circle larger than when Nord caught them. He was more adaptable to the life in captivity. Seeing the piglets grow so vigorously, Nord felt relieved.

Turning his head to Molly beside him said:

"You have raised these wild boars well. Thank you for your hard work. I will ask Butler Abel to pay you some wages later. You can also ask Reed to ask for yams for pigs. You don't have to dig them in the forest."

"Thank you, Lord Nord, I don't work hard, I feel honored to be able to help you."
