Chapter 289 Miscalculation

"When I wake up tomorrow, there will only be sixteen days left."

Late at night, Li Mosi crossed out seventeen from the paper roll and wrote a new number in advance.

"Fortunately, the residents are willing to work more."

Zi'an leaned against the window and looked outside.

Outside the window, the lake surface still shimmered.

A cool breeze swept across the lake, causing the water to shimmer gently.

They returned to the lakeside estate.

Zi'an lowered her head, and her gaze was drawn to her nearby.

Outside the manor chief's cottage, rows of new houses, some completed and some still under construction, line both sides of the dirt road.

Next to each row of new houses under construction, there is a large circle of old houses that have been demolished and are now just pillars.

Besides the pillars, the hay that made up the old house and various household items that hadn't yet been put into the new house were scattered everywhere.

She counted again.

Same as before the engine was turned off.

Three cabins have been built, two cabins are mostly completed, and construction on the last cabin has just begun.

It should be finished tomorrow.

This is the result of the people working through the night.

Over the past four days, she and her mentor taught all the craftsmen in Baron Stern's territory how to build new houses while people were still gathered together.

Then, the snow started to fall.

Then the people began to hurry up and transport clay and stone bricks.

Lakeside Manor, located not far from the stone brick quarry and without the need to transport clay, had all its building materials ready the day before yesterday.

Apart from the coachmen, wagoners, and a small number of villagers who continued to lead caravans to help transport materials to other manors, the rest of the Lakeside Manor residents, led by craftsmen, quickly began construction.

Considering that she would be returning to the tribe to build a city, she suggested to her ancestor that the people continue building houses at night as well.

My teacher agreed.

The people had no objection to this.

Rather, it's more accurate to say that nowadays, any single leader is more proactive than everyone in the tribe combined.

After all, this is their own house.

However, not all estates are as successful as Lakeside Estate.

The estates further west and south are quite far away.

Most of them didn't finish transporting all the bricks and clay until yesterday.

The most remote areas were only delivered today.

In other words, it will take at least two more days to complete the house.

However, this efficiency has exceeded their original estimates.

In fact, Li Mosi only realized then that she had miscalculated the time a few days ago.

It wasn't that the people needed twelve days to build their houses.

Rather, it's the time they spend collecting clay and stone bricks plus ample transportation time, plus the fact that the entire construction process takes twelve days.

Because when he calculated this, he referenced the construction time required for the first row of houses in the Valos Manor.

At that time, they kept the motorcade at the main house!

The missing clay was all brought over by the villagers in wheelbarrows from the Matica and Toufat estates!

Once the materials are in place, the residents can build a standard new house row of ten houses in less than half a day.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the tribe should be able to complete the task on time.

In the three estates they first occupied, the people had already built all the new houses yesterday.

After leading his convoy on a tour of the various manors in Baron Stern's territory yesterday, Li Moss stayed at Vallos Manor for the night.

Farol reported this to him at the time.

After thinking for a moment, Li Mo instructed him to lead more people to quarry more stone bricks and to build a row of new houses in the main residences of each of the three manors.

There is still a considerable amount of grain in the warehouses of these three main houses.

Even in winter, the tribespeople must keep watch over it.

"The houses have all been demolished. If you don't hurry up and build new ones, are you going to spend the winter outside? Can't you even get some sleep?"

Zi'an did not hear Li Mosi's response.

She only heard Haki Saint speak.

The voice sounded weak and a little impatient.

"Um."

Li Moss's response finally arrived.

She turned her head and first glanced at Haki Saint, who was lying on the bed.

"call--"

The saintess started snoring again.

This woman doesn't do any work at all, so I don't know why she's so tired every day...

Zi'an pouted and looked at Li Mosi.

She then noticed that Li Mosi was staring at a point in the sky.

Ok.

My late teacher is pondering again.

Li Mosi was indeed thinking.

He was looking at the [Leshan Water] map, re-evaluating the progress in various places while planning the next steps.

First, there were the three estates that Farol managed for him.

After a whole day of hard work last night and today, he is almost finished with the task he assigned yesterday.

The new houses in the main houses of Vallos and Matica have been completed, but the new house in the main house of Tufate is still under construction.

Within Baron Stern's territory, Lakeside Manor, East Wall Manor, and the two knight manors in the northeast should be completed tomorrow because they require less building materials to be transported.

The two furthest manors are more troublesome; two rows of new houses have only just been built.

As for Ziyi...

It seems they are still preparing materials.

As for Ziyi...

It seems they are still preparing materials.

The furthest manor will probably need another two days to prepare.

Judging from their behavior, they were probably working overtime at night.

Unfortunately, even if the residents were willing to work overtime, it would be difficult to transport building materials overnight.

However, in any case, it can be completed within the stipulated time.

As for the future.

Li Mosi plans to stay at the Lakeside Manor for another day tomorrow.

The day after tomorrow, he will take the grooms and drivers from the estate, along with all the livestock and vehicles, to transport stone bricks to the tribe after the new houses are built.

We can ask around then to see which able-bodied men are willing to work outside the village.

Bring one with you.

"Phew~"

"snort--"

After thinking it over, Li Mosi closed the [Leshanshui] map.

He looked around and saw that Hagiwara and Zian were already snoring.

What else is there to say?

Go to sleep.

It was another peaceful night.

When Li Mosi opened her eyes again, she found that there were really only sixteen days left.

By the time half the afternoon had passed, the residents of Lakeside Manor had finished building all the new houses.

Li Mosi and Zi'an checked each room one by one.

With no work to do, the people naturally sat down to rest.

"Mercur, you really should thank your late master."

"Um?"

Mercer, who was sitting by the lake admiring the scenery, heard the voices behind him and turned around.

It's Miro.

He then looked behind Miro.

"My teacher and mentor have gone to inspect the house; I can rest now."

Milo sat down next to him and looked out at the lake.

"You're smarter than me, why didn't you take the test sooner?"

Mercer turned his head back, looked at Milo, and then looked at the lake.

The once clear lake water had become murky, but he didn't find the sight unpleasant.

That pristine lake used to belong only to the Stern family.

Now, this lake belongs to our late master, who bestowed it upon everyone.

Mercer said.

"You know, I used to be just a slave."

"I was concerned about that too."

Milo looked at Mercer again, his face full of emotion.

"Just a few days ago, when our mentor and late teacher led us north, our late teacher said some things to us along the way..."
