Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 1761, The leisurely days of the victor

In a manor castle only a few tens of kilometers away from Moscow, Wu Yan slowly woke up from sleep and looked at the snow-white, snow-white beauties around him, his whole body couldn't help feeling a little sore.

The whole night of madness last night, the whole night of fighting, the whole person was going to be drained.

As an officer who graduated from the Imperial Military Academy, this time he followed His Highness the Crown Prince's expedition to the west and fought all the way. He fought bravely and commanded well, and made a lot of contributions.

Now it's time to reward meritorious deeds, and the crown prince and the court did not disappoint or disappoint the soldiers.

Even the most ordinary soldiers can basically get a piece of fertile land. Although many people don't even know where their own land is now, they have already obtained their own land deeds. Come and manage the land and plant it.

Apart from land, cattle, sheep and slaves were the most allocated.

The cattle and sheep were snatched from the three khanates. The three nomadic khanates of Kazan, Ilkhanate, and Crimean Khanate raised a large number of cattle, sheep and horses.

Because the Ming army attacked too fast, most of their cattle, sheep and horses fell into the hands of the Ming army, and finally distributed to these soldiers.

As a military officer, Wu Yan also got hundreds of sheep, a dozen cows, and a dozen horses, and the manor castle in front of him.

This used to be the manor castle of a nobleman from the Principality of Moscow, but now it has also been confiscated, and even the large area around it belongs to Wuyan.

There are also dozens of slaves. These slaves include Tatars, nomadic tribes, Slavs, and Lithuanians. All of them were disrupted and assigned as slaves.

There were also more than a dozen women, seven or eight of them were very young and pretty, and they were the wives and daughters of nobles.

This is tantamount to becoming the master of this piece of land all at once, wanting land to have land, wanting houses to have houses, as well as cattle and sheep, slaves, cattle and horses, and women.

This is also the old routine of the Ming army. The reason why the Ming army is eager to fight and yearn for war is entirely because they can get rich rewards after winning the war.

The surrounding large area of ​​land, more than [-] mu of land belongs to Wu Yan, which is a huge fortune.

As for the manor castle in front of him, to be honest, Wu Yan doesn't like it very much, because this castle doesn't conform to the aesthetics of Daming people, and the various living facilities inside don't conform to the living habits of Daming people.

But this is already the best house here, and the better houses are all in the city, and those places have been allocated to other officers and the like.

Wu Yan was quite satisfied to be assigned such a manor castle.

In the later period, it will be necessary to renovate and repair the manor and castle, and renew some silver for decoration. In contrast, ordinary soldiers do not know where their assigned land is, and even if they go to It is estimated that they have to spend their own money to hire people to build houses and the like.

This place is far away from Daming, and it would be very difficult to really develop and develop it without a few tens or hundreds of years.

Of course, this didn't matter to Wu Yan anymore.

At this very moment, he is enjoying the fruits of the victors, just like countless military officers of the Ming Dynasty.

"Hmm~"

At this time, the beauties around him had already woken up. Seeing that Wu Yan had woken up, they also made seductive voices.

They can't speak Ming dialect, and Wu Yan doesn't understand the local Slavic language, but this doesn't prevent Wu Yan from understanding her meaning.

"Well, come to seduce me and see how I deal with you."

After finishing speaking, Wu Yan turned over, and soon the sound of fighting on the battlefield resounded throughout the room.

It wasn't until twelve o'clock at noon that Wu Yan reluctantly got up from the beauty's den.

This day is really tiring and happy.

When he got up together, his own female slave also brought up the hot milk, porridge, noodles, roast lamb, lamb chops, etc. that had been prepared.

“The taste is really average~”

"This porridge is too clear, and this bread is really unpalatable."

"The same goes for noodles. This female slave has been learning for a few days, but she still can't learn well, and the cooking is not delicious."

"This roasted lamb lacks a little cumin, and the lamb chops are stewed without ginger to remove the fishy smell."

While eating, Wu Yan couldn't help shaking his head, everything is good here, just eating, and his female slaves haven't learned how to do it yet, the level is really poor.

Of course, you can’t blame these female slaves, because these female slaves used to be the female relatives of noble families, and they didn’t know how to cook at all. As for the women of serf families, let alone, Wu Yan dared not use them.

Wu Yan's food didn't have much taste, but Wu Yan's women ate it with gusto, talking words that Wu Yan couldn't understand while eating.

However, after a long time in contact, Wu Yan can roughly understand some local languages, and generally knows that they say delicious things.

Whether these slaves, female slaves or the like.

When they were arrested by the Ming army, they were naturally locked up severely. They were locked up in a damp, dark, moldy and ugly prison, or a group of people were directly locked up in stables, pigpens, cowsheds, etc. .

It doesn't take long to eat very little and unpalatable food every day to sharpen these people's tempers. The long time is only two or three months, and the shortest time is almost a month.

After this was assigned to Wu Yan and the Ming soldiers, they all knew that they should be obedient, and they were able to accept their fate.

Many people who used to be nobles can only silently accept their status as slaves now. Slaves are in front of them. If they do a good job, they can give you freedom in the future. If you steal, cheat, or want to riot Kind of, definitely will die miserably.

Of course, these women are even more so.

Closing up in the cowshed and stables for some time without eating or even sleeping well has already worn away all their pride.

It is already a great gift to be able to follow the master and live in the manor castle again, sleep on a comfortable big bed, and eat delicious food.

Of course they know what to do.

Because everything is given by the master. If the master doesn’t like you, then you will continue to be a slave. Not to mention the poor living, you still have to work hard all day long, and you can’t even eat. full.

It's better to live a better life now, and it's enough to serve the master well, and you can become the hostess here as a matter of course, and help manage the huge property for your master, as for the other things, it's not important at all.

After lunch, Wu Yan rode his beloved horse to inspect his own land.

Now that winter has begun, the weather has also become colder, and the fertile land is gradually freezing up, and the cultivation can only be started in the spring of next year.

Soon, Wu Yan came to a village where serfs lived.

When the serfs saw Wu Yan, they immediately knelt down one by one, and even came to kiss Wu Yan's shoes in turn.

They took Wu Yan as a matter of course as the new aristocrat here, the new owner of this land, even though the Ming Empire has given them freedom now, and even distributed a little land to every household.

There is not much land, which is not enough for them to support their own family. If they want to get more land, they need to learn the language of Daming continuously, learn to speak Daming dialect, change their surname to Daming, name, etc., so that they can get more land. land.

So they still need to rely on Wuyan in front of them, and rent some land from Wuyan to cultivate, so that they can get enough food to feed their family.

Although they were given very little land, they were still very poor.

But now they are full of gratitude to the Ming people, because they are free now, they are no longer serfs, and they still have their own land and property.

Everyone is full of hope and longing for the future, longing for a better and rich life in the future.

"If you want to rent my land, you only need to hand over the grain to me for three minutes."

"In addition, I need to recruit some people to work in my manor and castle. I will give 10 catties of flour for one day of work."

Wu Yan looked at the shabby and poor serfs in front of him, shook his head slightly, and then said to them that the female slaves around him had the most contact with Wu Yan, and they understood a little bit, and they also acted as translators.

Hearing the translation, these serfs couldn't help but knelt down again, saying God's blessing and thanking the nobles for their generosity.

After hearing this, Wu Yan also smiled and ignored them.

Continue to inspect your own land, tens of thousands of acres of land, the land is very flat and fertile.

"It seems that I have to spend some money to buy some cultivators and harvesters. Otherwise, how can the tens of thousands of acres of land be cultivated?"

"There is also a large area of ​​unowned land outside. As long as it can be reclaimed, it belongs to my land."

"There's just too much land here!"
