I led the Goblin Culture to victory.

Chapter 304 Clothing and Shoe Making

A barefoot girl stood next to an adult male villager, looking very anxious.

Without a job, she'll be back to the days when she couldn't even get enough to eat!

Seeing her rush out, a boy about her age quickly stepped forward and grabbed the girl's arm.

He was clearly the son of a craftsman.

"Don't worry."

The boy grabbed the girl's arm and gave Zi'an a fawning smile.

"Sir, I'm sorry..."

Isn't the girl in a hurry?

That is impossible.

Although she didn't struggle, she still looked down and up at Zi'an with a worried expression.

"But……"

This expression made Zi'an frown.

She remembered the way those wolf cubs begged for food.

If the inhabitants here had tails, they would probably be wagging them long ago.

The girl was pulled back to where she had been by the boy, but the hushed discussions that arose among the people made the scene even more chaotic.

"Yes, we can work too..."

"grown ups……"

Can't these people just let her finish what she has to say?

Zi'an raised his arm, and all sound quickly disappeared.

She then spoke.

"Listen carefully, the arrangements I'm about to make concern all of you!"

Upon hearing her say this, the villagers covered their mouths tightly, and the parents covered their children's mouths, afraid that they might miss the next instructions.

Having done all this, the people nodded vigorously again.

Zian's voice continued after a brief pause.

"Stationer, cartwright, stonemason, carpenter."

As she spoke, she looked at the crowd.

The four craftsmen immediately stepped forward with their children.

"Take your eldest son and follow the group back to my home to build a house."

"Yes, sir!"

Zi'an's eyes did not linger on the four craftsmen.

"Cobbler, tailor."

Two more craftsmen came out, each with their eldest son.

"You will come with me later to help the people make winter clothes and shoes. You will receive three days' worth of food for each day you work."

Making winter clothes and shoes?

And you're going to bring your people with you?

The two craftsmen looked slightly puzzled, but they didn't say anything.

"Yes, sir."

After arranging things for the craftsmen, Zi'an looked at the people under his jurisdiction.

"Next, I need people to make clothes and shoes. Does anyone know how to do even a little bit? Even sewing and repair skills are fine! Everyone step forward!"

"Can you sew?"

"What exactly are we doing?"

Quiet doubts arose among the people.

But soon, someone realized what was happening.

"Quickly, get out of there!"

"My lord! I can do it! I can do it!"

"I can do it too!"

Two large groups of people rushed forward from behind and stood directly on both sides of the adult male citizens.

There were also quite a few people with children aged one to three years old.

Zi'an raised his head slightly and, taking advantage of his height, glanced at the back of the group.

There aren't many people left!

At this moment, there were quite a few bewildered children at the back of the line, but the slightly older children and the vast majority of adult citizens had already stepped forward to the front.

Only a few older residents and members of the artisan families who hadn't been called were still behind.

Zi'an paused for a moment, then turned to look at Li Mosi.

"Master, this..."

They originally planned to take the able-bodied people with them, while the rest who couldn't work would stay on the estate to take care of the children.

But now...

It seems like we can't keep up with all the supervision?

Around them, Haji, who was still half asleep, as well as Ziyi and Zimo, all looked at Li Mosi.

Li Mosi patted Zi'an on the shoulder, telling her to relax.

"What do you think we should do?"

"Um……"

Zi'an was silent for two seconds.

This isn't a joke, it's a recommendation for the treasure book "I Led the Goblin Culture to Victory":

"Why don't we have all the people follow suit?"

Can't we figure out a solution ourselves?

"No problem, do it this way. Have everyone except the soldiers and the craftsmen on duty follow."

Li Mosi nodded.

"You need to be more confident. Isn't that the solution?"

"OK."

Zi'an looked slightly reluctant when he heard what Li Mosi said next.

She looked at her people again.

"Besides blacksmiths, shepherds, and swineherds..."

She named a list of artisans, soldiers, and plantation leaders who needed to remain in the area, and finally gave orders to the rest.

"After you finish eating, all of you take your tools. The cartwright, get the cart ready. The coachman, bring all the oxen and come with me!"

"Yes, sir!"

"Thank you, sir!"

"Very good!"

The people cheered, some even kneeling down in gratitude, while only a few followed Li Moss's custom of exchanging greetings.

Li Mosi didn't even want to look at the chaotic scene.

Otherwise, he would doubt that he had taught in vain.

After breakfast, except for a few who were supposed to stay, the rest of the group headed west with Li Moss and his party to Stern.

When Li Mosi returned yesterday, he passed through the town and asked the coachman and driver to repair the carriage so that he could use it again today.

They first returned to Stern, gathered all the people they were supposed to take, along with their carts, horses, and cattle, and loaded the cloth from the warehouse and the leather belts that had been distributed and processed some time ago. They then retraced the route of the previous tour through Baron Stern's territory.

When they passed by two knightly estates under the jurisdiction of Baron Stern, they took everything they had brought from the other estates, as well as all the cloth and tools from the warehouses.

After the trip, it was already afternoon.

Li Moss and the others stood outside the main courtyard of Valos's mansion.

Zi Mo looked out at the forest through the dismantled wall, lost in thought.

Besides him, the people were also watching.

Whispers broke out among them.

"What are we doing here?"

"Is this my advisor's home?"

"Isn't it a forest outside?"

There wasn't enough room for so many people in the main courtyard, so they had to gather on the dirt road.

A large crowd of people completely blocked the road.

An endless stream of brown-haired people thronged the air, their scents mingling with the smells of livestock.

The saintess couldn't help but narrow her eyes.

Spicy eyes!

Why wasn't she so distressed during the public trial within Baron Talis's domain?

Li Moss scanned the massive procession of leaders.

The harvest along the way was greater than expected.

The total amount of leather in the warehouses and from the tanners' shops far exceeded his subconscious estimate.

Bundles of cowhides, sheepskins, and previously, horsehides and various animal hides were now piled up like small mountains on the truck.

There are even more bolts of cloth.

The people standing here now are only a portion of the population.

Those who couldn't make clothes or shoes or do heavy work were directly assigned by Li Moss to the Matica and Tufat Knight Manors on the east and west sides of Valos Manor.

He assigned older children and adult villagers to take care of the younger ones, and if they did so well, they could earn two days' worth of rations for every day they worked.

Even after some people were diverted, there are still many people left.

Zi'an looked at the people huddled together to the south and let out a long breath.

She looked at Li Mosi.

"Master, there are just too many people..."

Just looking at it gives me a headache.

Upon hearing this, Li Mosi, Zi Yi, Zi Mo, and Haji Sheng all looked at her.

Anyone could tell she was in a lot of pain.

Zi Mo turned to look at the piles of cloth and leather, his gaze finally settling on Li Mosi.

He took the initiative to speak.

"Master, I can take charge of leading people to make the clothes."

Judging from the way our late master treated Zi'an, he probably expected his disciples to be able to stand on their own!

It's time for him to show his abilities!
