Dignity...worry...
Do lords have to consider this?
Is this craftsman here to be a lord or a parent?
Although the saint was worried about what Farol said, she did not agree with the two words Li Moss used to summarize the situation.
Is there such a method?
Ziyi and Zian looked up at the sky again.
Farol did have an idea.
That is to work for the people.
But he really couldn't think of anything else the people could do besides manual labor.
Some people can't even do manual labor.
As she pondered, Zi Yi sighed softly.
"Why didn't this happen to the new clansmen...?"
His voice was soft, but the surroundings were too quiet.
Everyone heard it clearly.
"Tsk."
The saintess gave a soft kiss.
"It's probably because they didn't have any food to get through the winter. They had no other way to survive the winter except by working with you and getting food in return."
"Didn't Ziyi say back then that he could give them food and let them leave for the winter...? Ugh!"
Zi'an instinctively retaliated, but she actually came up with a plan!
"oh!"
Ziyi thought of that too!
They quickly spoke up.
"Make them work in exchange for food!"
Will this work?
Farol frowned as he looked at Li Moss.
Li Mosi nodded.
"good."
Seeing that his two disciples had figured things out, Li Mosi led them back towards the main residence.
"Earning a reward with your own hands at least follows the most basic rules."
"Remember, if you want others to agree, you must operate within their framework of rules. Only then can things proceed smoothly."
There's a lot to say about this.
He doesn't plan to elaborate on things like recognition and a sense of deservement for the time being.
Let's organize and coordinate this group of people first.
Zi Yi felt something suddenly connect in his mind!
"Master! Is this also what harmony in ritual means?"
He recalled the words he had heard when he first met his teacher.
Etiquette differs from general rules.
It is harmonious!
Flowing water is also natural and harmonious!
"That's right. You're absolutely right."
Li Mosi smiled.
"But these are just the ultimate goals. There is still a lot we need to do to achieve them."
What is ritual?
Farol didn't understand the word.
The current situation didn't give him much time to think.
The crossroads were not far from the main house, and they had already reached the gate of the main house while they were talking.
ga-
Li Mosi reached out and pushed open the door.
"Wow?!"
What was that sound?
"It's the elder!"
"The leader is back!"
The goblin's squeaking and the new tribe's voices rang out together.
The tribespeople who remained in the open space woke up.
Li Mosi led his team straight into the main house.
"Farol, where's the kitchen? Do you have a pot or pan we can use?"
"Sir, the kitchen is here. The earthenware pot isn't worth much, and the large iron pot on the stove was too heavy for Valos to take with him."
Farol quickly led Li Moss into the kitchen, while the little boy who had followed them all the way quietly found a corner in the yard to sit down.
Li Mosi then noticed that the old man in front of her had stopped calling him "Lord Varos" at some point.
As soon as the group entered the kitchen, they saw several earthenware jars on the ground, each as big as a bucket, and a large iron pot big enough for an adult to take a bath in.
The large earthenware jar is supported by a matching copper stand, while the iron pot is placed directly on the stove.
Such a large cooking vessel could only be associated with foods like whole cows or whole sheep.
He stepped forward and picked up the edge of the iron pot, weighing it in his hand.
This iron pot can't be moved anywhere else; at least a stove needs to be set up on-site.
Too much trouble.
Those earthenware pots and their matching stands are sufficient for use.
Li Mosi opened the [Leshanshui] map, glanced at it, and then spoke to Ziyi.
"Ziyi, send a few people to call back the clansmen guarding the east, west, and south ends, and have them bring all the other people along the way. The group guarding the north gate should wait until everyone has arrived before calling them back."
"Get a few more people to move these pottery jars and their supports to the open space."
Time to get started!
Upon hearing Li Mosi's words, Zi Yi began to look forward to it.
"Yes, Master."
Li Moss looked at Farol.
"Go and call the people here. I want everyone to be here, but I don't want to be too forceful, do you understand?"
Farol nodded.
"Sir, I understand. I will persuade everyone to attend."
Previously, every time they visited a house, they had to wait for an adult to give the order.
Now that the first order has finally been issued, Farol feels somewhat relieved.
Based on the previous situation, the adult is definitely not a bad person.
They are even ten times kinder than the Varos family!
Zi Yi randomly selected some clansmen and gave them orders, and everyone sprang into action.
Those who went out went out with Farol to call for help, and those who carried things carried things.
Looking at the huge pottery jars set up on the open ground, the saintess turned to look at Li Mosi.
"If you're going to cook, why don't you cook it all together and then separate it out?"
She hadn't slept all night and was really starving.
This craftsman actually had to bring the pot out before cooking...
Ugh.
Mentally challenged Haki Saint.
When tired, people tend to think in a very abstract way.
Zi Yi's mind flashed back to the meals he had eaten after winning several battles in the past.
"Is it for others to see?"
He was somewhat uncertain.
The saintess exclaimed in surprise, "You're letting your people watch us eat? No! You need to gather your people!"
No, you're only just realizing it now!
Li Mosi was completely baffled by what Haki Saint's mind was doing.
It looks more like it's burned out than on standby.
"What did you say?!"
Zi'an's entire face scrunched up.
"Our late master must have invited the people over for a meal!"
She didn't want to argue with a fool!
It made her look like a fool.
Li Mosi nodded: "Yes, that's me..."
"Oh dear! That's not what I meant!"
Haki suddenly twisted his body violently.
"Untie me now! It's unbecoming of my status for commoners to see me like this!"
Too shameful!
Why are you only bringing this up now?
Li Mosi was completely baffled by her.
Why didn't you do this sooner?
They've all been taken on a tour of the territory, as if no one hasn't seen it before.
"What other identity do you have?"
Zian glanced at Hagi Saint from head to toe.
"Isn't this your identity?"
"oops!"
Haki Saint jumped up immediately.
"It's not that I'm talking to you, you savage bear-orc... sigh!"
She suddenly adopted an unreasonable attitude.
Li Mo thought for a moment and said, "It's not that I can't untie it for you."
"real?!"
Hearing this, Hagi Saint, who had just been making a scene, suddenly became happy.
"Really, but you have to follow my rules."
Of course, Li Mosi wouldn't just untie her.
While considering the matter of the groom, he thought of the matter of Baron Stern's domain.
The Valos Knights have almost forgotten the Church, and the Tufat Knights are probably in the same boat.
As for the Knights of Matica, they should be treated the same.
In any case, the people of Baron Stern's territory certainly recognized the church emblem.
Even the town's pastor might know the saint.
The impact of Haki appearing in this form is different.
It could cause trouble if things go wrong.
"What are the rules?"
The saintess was puzzled.
Li Mosi held up one finger: "First, you have to take off your robe; second, you have to change your hairstyle; and third, you can't leave my side for more than five steps."
After saying that, he held up three fingers.
The saint found it hard to believe each time she heard one of them.
Her eyes widened.
Her mouth gaped open.
Her expression froze completely.
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
After hearing this, she became even more hysterical.
"I will absolutely not take off my saint's robes!"
"I'll do it!"
Zi'an became agitated and grabbed Hagi Saint.
"Your late teacher was willing to do good deeds, yet you still stirred things up."
It's so noisy.
So annoying!
"Ah! Don't touch me! Your hands are black! Ouch! You're pinching me!"
The saint was furious.
But she was powerless to resist Zian's actions.
Zi'an quickly tore off the vines from her body and personally stripped off the saint's robe.
The robe was removed, revealing the saintess in a pure white... exquisite robe without any decoration.
What kind of outfit is a robe over a robe?
"Master, I've got it."
Li Mosi was puzzled when Zi'an stuffed something into his arms, talking as if he had captured a Pokémon.
This is the robe that was just taken off Hagiwara.
He opened it and looked at it carefully, and found that the robe was quite thick, and that it was lined with fine linen.
No wonder Haki Saint isn't feeling stuffy in this weather.
"Ah! Don't let it touch the ground!"
The saintess immediately noticed that the bottom of her robe was hanging down to the ground, and quickly reached out her hand.
"Don't steal it!"
Zi'an stopped her in her tracks.
Seeing the two people who seemed to be about to enter a fighting state for some reason, Li Mosi completely turned her robe inside out.
"I'll let you wear it, but you have to wear it inside out. And you can't leave my reach."
"Okay! I'll stick close to you, that's fine!"
The saintess readily agreed.
But it wasn't until Li Mosi personally let down her laurel-like hair and tied it into a bun with a rope that she returned the clothes to her.
"I didn't know you could tie your hair up."
The saintess muttered to herself as she turned her robe inside out.
"Finished?"
"Who won?"
Why did they fight?
"Don't talk, go to sleep."
The tribespeople, unaware of what the leaders and elders were doing, watched the whole scene silently, then began to chat quietly, seemingly unsure of what to do next.
But chatting is not as important as sleeping.
While they still had some free time, the group quickly took a nap.
Seeing Hagi Saint obediently walk to his side, Li Mosi looked at his two disciples.
"Before the people arrive, let's talk about the work-for-relief program."
