I led the Goblin Culture to victory.

Chapter 288 Rumors Scattered

Cola Novels makes reading always a chapter faster than others.

Apart from Ziwan, this was the first time anyone else had seen what the new house looked like.

They all stared intently, their eyes wide.

The selected smart people, though they don't need to build it themselves, will still become managers.

It's unacceptable for managers to be unaware of what their goals look like.

The craftsmen then immediately began thinking about how to make it and whether it was even possible to make it.

However, this house was already built for Zi Yi.

He didn't give those around him time to think.

"This ground needs to be firmer. Have you all finished making those tools I showed the carpenter last time?"

As soon as they were asked, the carpenter and his eldest son nodded immediately.

"It's all ready, sir."

"Yes, I've done it all, sir."

Seeing that the carpenters had all nodded, Ziyi continued to talk about how the floor was constructed.

"We'll fill in about this much soil, then compact it with tools, and then fill in another layer until the ground is level."

As he spoke, he pointed with his spear at the completed drawing next to the cross-sectional view.

"The final house should look like this—"

"Um?"

"what?"

"so?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of craftsmen and intelligent people began to express their doubts.

The pictures inside look quite detailed.

But why does the finished product look like a country bumpkin?

Zi Yi looked up and scanned the crowd.

Seeing that the people around him were staring wide-eyed but didn't ask anything further, he continued.

"This is what the house will look like when it's finally finished. You need to pile up clay to make the walls about two steps thick... Never mind, just use hemp rope to mark it."

He felt he couldn't explain it all at once.

Zi Yi chose to take out the hemp rope that Li Mosi had given him for measuring.

Several craftsmen quickly ran to get hemp rope and charcoal to mark the marks.

After the craftsmen had marked the houses and distributed the ropes, he slowly explained the entire structure and construction plan of the house.

After hearing this, most of the stonemasons looked visibly troubled.

"Sir... let's get these stone bricks made..."

"It took too much time..."

"Yes, I know you're doing this for our own good, sir..."

"Don't make a sound!"

"Quiet!"

The town's stonemason and Zi Yi spoke at the same time, telling everyone to quiet down.

Some of the stonemasons looked at Zi Yi, while others looked at the town's stonemasons with strange expressions.

Why does this guy look so confident?

Doesn't he have to work?

Zi Yi pointed south.

"Take the stone bricks directly from the fortress on the edge of town, just the outer wall. The townspeople have been dismantling it for several days already, all of you can go and dismantle it in a day or two and it will be done."

The stonemasons then understood.

No wonder the stonemasons in town have smiles on their faces!

It's that simple!

The great stonemason of Talis Town smiled and spoke to Zi Yi.

"Thanks to your kindness, even the farmer's house can be built with stone bricks."

The stonemasons realized what was happening and bowed to Zi Yi.

"Thank you for your kindness, sir..."

"Thank you, sir..."

Tsk.

Zi Yi just felt a little annoyed.

He didn't want to be thanked.

He just wanted to finish this quickly and go back to the tribe to rebuild.

"Stand up, don't just stand there. There are stone bricks on the cart. I'll teach you how to build a house right here. Today the stonemasons will come with me to town to demolish the walls, so hurry up!"

There was no time to wait for a meal; all the craftsmen immediately sprang into action.

The night before, when Zi Yi and his men came to gather, they loaded some stone bricks onto the carriage.

My teacher's actions were indeed reasonable.

He hadn't really thought about what to do if all the horses and donkeys in the town were taken away.

Even knowing that horses are stronger than donkeys and faster than oxen, they never thought of transferring the donkeys and oxen from the caravan to the estate and gathering the packhorses together.

Just remembering what each party should do and how they should be done already takes up all his brainpower.

These selected smart people must be trained into managers as soon as possible.

By the time the people returned from the neighboring manors in all directions, the meal was already cooked.

These guys are even more hardworking than Zi Yi thought.

They actually unloaded the clay from the oxcarts and donkey carts at the destination before returning with empty carts!

This will be slightly later than mealtime.

But they can have a second bowel movement right after they finish eating.

Seeing the enthusiasm of his people, Zi Yi immediately felt that his efforts had not been in vain.

Even the fatigue has lessened considerably.

However, some of the townspeople looked exhausted, which made Zi Yi, who had just started to feel better, frown.

"Those people...are they the homeless soldiers?"

He didn't know why these guys were so down.

But it doesn't matter anymore.

Even the soldiers, having lost their armor and weapons, couldn't cause any trouble.

Not to mention he had so many tribesmen, and the local soldiers trusted him implicitly.

He wasn't worried.

After a quick breakfast, everyone got back to work.

The people transported clay several times a day, while Zi Yi led the craftsmen to build two rows of houses during the day.

A row of manors right by the lake.

But the bricks he brought were only enough to build one row.

The other row was built directly in the middle layer of the fortress.

Such an important place must be guarded by the tribe even in winter.

We must prepare accommodations for them in advance.

Night fell once again amidst the hustle and bustle.

Tonight, the cool breeze still caresses everyone.

Because the townspeople lived relatively close by, they were able to transport enough clay in a single day.

That evening, we continued dismantling the outer walls of the fortress with the stonemasons who had gathered there.

As night fell, most of the townspeople went home to sleep, while Zi Yi's clansmen, the wise men, and the stonemasons who had been summoned slept in the fortress.

The wandering soldiers slept outside the fortress along with the local people who had stayed there because it was dark.

Jik looked at the people sleeping around the oxcart and donkey cart.

These people belonged to the manors further south.

Because of the long distance, it will take them another day to transport all the clay.

"I can't take it anymore, my whole body aches, and I'm so hungry!"

"Why shouldn't I be? Why should we listen to goblins?"

Jike didn't even need to turn his head to know who was speaking.

Who else could it be but Kahn and York?

By this point, even the other homeless soldiers around them couldn't be bothered to pay any attention to the two.

"Why are we still being ordered around by goblins?"

"call--"

"Exactly, we work extra work but don't get any food..."

"Um--"

Listening to their conversation, Jike gradually fell asleep.

"call……"

Hearing the last person around him start snoring, Kahn lowered his voice.

"What do you think they'll do if they know Baron Taliss is coming back?"

York looked around.

After confirming that everyone was asleep, he spoke in a low voice.

Are you sure these people will trust us?

Kahn shook his head.

He pointed to the soldiers around him who were also homeless.

"They won't."

York stared wide-eyed, his face saying, "Then why did you say that?"

Before he spoke, Kahn pointed to the people in the distance.

"They don't even know the two of us."

York understood.

"Make your statement more definitive."

……

the next day.

The villagers continued moving things, Ziyi continued teaching, and the stonemasons and townspeople continued dismantling the walls.

It's another night.

This time, the entire Baron Talisman territory gathered at the edge of the fortress.

They spent the night dismantling the wall, and tomorrow they will transport the bricks back to the estate.

"No problem, go to sleep."

"Yes, sir."

Zi Yi quickly inspected the work done at each manor and told everyone to disperse and go to sleep.

Ziwang walked straight up to him and stopped.

"My lord, I heard from the people that Baron Talis will be returning soon with reinforcements."

What?

Zi Yi subconsciously asked a question in return.

"Who said that?"

Ziwan shook his head.

"Those people said they didn't know. There are too many people here, and many don't recognize anyone once they leave the manor. It's even harder to see after dark."

"Please be careful."

Zi Yi waved his hand.

Anyway, we won't be gathering together the day after tomorrow.

It doesn't matter.

If Baron Talis really comes back, wouldn't my late master tell him?
