I led the Goblin Culture to victory.

Chapter 227 Digging Clay

"Honey, is no one going out yet? We're running low on water."

"no."

The shoemaker stepped back from the window and turned to look at his wife and children.

Since the new lord left yesterday morning with the tax collector, the priest, and the clerk, they have still received food at dinner and breakfast today, but there has still been no order for them to work.

Without new orders, the townspeople dared not go out.

They could only stay indoors.

This made them increasingly anxious and restless.

If there's pay and tasks, then it counts as work.

But what's going on with only rewards and no tasks?

Is the new lord raising pigs?

They haven't seen those goblins mate yet.

But who knows if they'll eat people?

The eldest son immediately stood up from the dining table.

He simply couldn't sit still any longer.

"Dad, Mom, I'll go ask if we can get some water. We need to at least dump the poop in the fields."

It smells so bad if I just leave it like this at home!

They're not cobblers!

"You can't go!"

The shoemaker's wife suddenly yelled.

"Your mother only has you as her child, don't cause me any trouble!"

"The new lord isn't a bad person."

The girl stood up from the table.

"Should I go?"

"You all sit back down!"

The shoemaker's wife became increasingly frantic.

"You're my only daughter! Don't cause any more trouble!"

Snap, snap.

The shoemaker placed his large, calloused hand on his wife's shoulder.

"Don't rush things. The children also want to take on responsibility."

His wife turned to look at him, frowning and opening her mouth.

Rumble...

A significant tremor came from outside the window, which silenced his wife.

The whole family immediately gathered by the window.

They soon saw carriages appear from both sides of the dirt road, blocking the church.

It's the lord's caravan returning!

The townspeople opened their windows or doors slightly to observe.

Zi Yi couldn't help but frown.

"Why does this place smell so bad?"

Zi'an also frowned.

"It smells much worse than yesterday. Did they poop in the house?"

The two didn't react as strongly to the stench as Hagibis, but their sense of smell was more sensitive than that of ordinary humans.

Before Li Mosi and the saintess could even smell it, they could smell it.

Looking around, Li Mo thought of a possibility.

"These artisans' homes are smaller than those on the manor, and they probably don't have separate toilets. They all use latrines."

"Well--"

Haki suddenly realized something, and his face scrunched up in a frown.

"Could it be that they haven't come out since yesterday morning?"

Zi'an tightened the corners of his mouth.

Ziyi doesn't care.

"Just ask your clansmen."

The convoy quickly entered the main courtyard. All four of them, including Aison, who had followed the convoy all the way, left on their own initiative. Only Carlbin came over to say goodbye to Li Moss before leaving.

He acts like a recent college graduate just starting his job.

The groom continued to care for the cattle and horses, while Zi Yi randomly chose a member of his tribe.

"What did you do while we were gone?"

"Chief, no."

The clansmen shook their heads.

"I just send it to them while I'm eating. They haven't come out for the past two days."

The leader did not give them any orders when he left.

What can they do?

Well, it really has been two days since I last went out.

"I see."

Zi Yi looked up at the sky.

As the sun began to set, he told his people to start cooking.

"Time to cook!"

"Has the wheat been soaked until it's soft?"

"It's gone soft!"

The tribespeople took the soaked wheat and started a fire, adding meat.

Li Mosi turned to look at Zi Yi.

"You've remembered the methods I just described, right?"

Zi Yi recalled the arrangements they had made for the townspeople on the way.

"Yes. Let the craftsmen do whatever they can. Their second sons and daughters, along with the ordinary townspeople, will be taken to dig clay first. We'll select the smartest among them to lead the teams."

There are so many artisan families in the town that they are almost equal to the number of ordinary townspeople.

You can't treat them like ordinary estates.

"That's right, just go for it."

"Yes, Master."

Zi Yi turned around and looked outside the main courtyard.

This means I'll have to make another trip.

……

"dad!"

"Darling, you're finally back."

As soon as Calbin returned home, his wife and children gathered at the door to greet him.

The smell inside the room made him frown.

He first hugged his wife, then patted his child's head.

"I'm back. What have you all been doing these past two days?"

"No!"

The eldest daughter quickly shook her head.

"No one went out, but we were called out for breakfast and dinner."

That's right.

The wife agreed with her eldest daughter's words and then looked at the clothes on Calbin's body.

The robe that was clean and tidy when I set off is now covered in dust at the back and hem.

"Take off your clothes, I'll clean you up."

Calbin raised his arm to help his wife remove his robe.

The wife asked as she undressed.

How have you been these past few days?

"Not bad. The lord is a bit cold to us, but he's very kind to the people. We saw him build some new houses for the people today. Those houses look like they'd be perfect for the winter."

But he saw so many new and interesting things.

There was so much to say that he didn't know where to begin.

Seeing that the worry from yesterday was gone from his face, his wife smiled.

"At least you don't have to be afraid anymore. If the lord is cold, you can take the initiative, just like we did before we got married."

"Don't talk about these things in front of the children..."

……

The situation is similar in Tritan.

As soon as he got home, he was surrounded by his children and wife who came to greet him.

His wife, however, was much more proactive.

As soon as the door closed, Tritan was embraced by his wife.

"You're really back. My children and I were so worried about you."

popping.

Tritan quickly patted his wife's back twice, telling her to let go of him.

His wife was perfect in every way, except that because she had Stern blood, she was stronger than the strongest soldier.

But they never know how to use their strength.

This sometimes leads to him being suddenly brought up.

"Cough, I'm fine."

Tritan straightened his clothes.

"The new lord is popular with the people, but he doesn't seem to care much about taxes. He seems to have no experience managing a territory. But he probably won't do anything to us."

"He should know how important you are, Dad!"

The eldest son expressed his dissatisfaction.

They are, after all, of the Stern family bloodline, and the new lord should treat them better!

"Besides, we are, after all, the Stern family..."

"Shut up!"

The wife quickly stopped the eldest son.

"None of us have the Stern name now, so stop thinking about your spineless uncle! He never did us any favors..."

……

"Lord Aison, Deacon, please allow me to clean your clothes."

As soon as Aison and his eldest son returned to the churchyard, the gatekeeper monks came to greet them.

The two allowed the gatekeeper monk to remove their robes.

The eldest son looked around and spoke to Ai Song.

"Father, the new lord doesn't seem to believe in the God of Light? Shouldn't we do something to maintain the purity of our territory?"

He witnessed far too many acts of blasphemy along the way.

From the time the goblins became lords and governed their people until they demolished the Long Wall.

These scenes are all blasphemous!

Aison looked up and gazed through the open doors of the church at the pulpit above.

There hung a huge emblem of the God of Light.

Does the Holy Scripture mention goblins?

"what?"

The eldest son was completely baffled by his questions.

However, he quickly went through it in his mind.

"no."

But the appearance of those lewd and monstrous infants in the territory is itself a form of blasphemy!

"Can……"

"Then let's just ignore it."

Aison stared at the statue in the distance.

"To him belong the earth and everything in it, the world and all who live in it."

Zi Yi visited various craftsmen's homes, inquired about their functions, and then assigned them tasks.

Then, during dinner, they initially divided the people into groups and asked the families of Aison, Tritan, and Calbin to stay in town.

The next morning, Li Mosi took them to the manor where the Great Lake was located to dig clay.
