24. Pick talent from Norfolk

The serfs have very low cultural level and very poor self-consciousness. For them, as long as they treat them well, they will support and worship.

So, after listening to the soldiers' explanation, all the serfs were excited. They waved their hats in their hands and fell to their knees and shouted loudly: "Long live Mr. Scott, we will always follow Mr. Scott's steps."

After kneeling down and thanking each other, all the serfs obtained a land certificate based on their families.

"This is the land certificate. Then you go to Norwich with this certificate, and someone will divide the land for you there!"

Holding the land certificate in his hand, the serfs were extremely grateful to Scott.

The Albert family was also a serf, and at this moment, the family came to Norwich to collect the land.

There were too many people queuing up. When it was their turn, it was already dusk the next day.

"Give me your land certificate." The guard in charge of this work glanced at Albert and said coldly.

With his trembling hands, Albert waited carefully to ask questions.

The soldier picked up the pen and started asking, "What's the name? How many people in the family? From which region did they come?"

Albert quickly replied: "Master, my name is Albert. There are five people in my family, from North Norfolk."

"What job did your family do before?" the soldier asked again.

Albert replied carefully: "I used to be responsible for helping the nobles build rivers, my wife is responsible for the wool textile industry, the eldest son and the second son are both engaged in fishing and fishing, and the younger daughter has no ability to work for the time being."

After hearing this answer, the soldiers' voices finally got a little more warm: "Ao? Be responsible for building rivers? Which rivers are built?"

"Responsible for building the rivers in the North Norfolk area, but I know the rivers in the entire Norfolk County." Albert replied, bent.

After hearing this, the soldier stood up excitedly: "Hahaha, I finally found a available talent, and God's good luck finally favored me."

"Man, what's wrong with you?" The companion next to him couldn't help but feel curious when he saw his cheerful look.

The soldier waved his arms and replied excitedly: "Hasn't the master been looking for a talent who can be familiar with the Norfolk River? Now this talent has finally appeared and I have discovered it, so how can I be unhappy? After all, I will get a reward!"

"You are so lucky! Stop talking nonsense, take them to see the master quickly and let me take over your job and see if I can find some talents." His companion said very enviously, and at the same time quickly stepped forward to take over his job.

The soldier nodded: "Then I'll leave it to you, I'll take them there."

After saying that, he waved to Albert's family: "Good luck, you have the chance to meet Mr. Scott, come with me quickly!"

"This, we haven't received the land yet!" Albert said anxiously at the land certificate.

The soldier laughed: "When is it still in charge of the land? Let me tell you the truth. The master values ​​your skills very much. After meeting the master later, you can answer the master's questions carefully. Maybe when the master is happy, he will even give you an official position!"

Albert was surprised and delighted: “Really?”

"Is this fake? Come with me!" The soldiers quickly called a carriage, and then the group got into the carriage and headed straight for the Earl's Mansion.

When he arrived at the Earl's Mansion, the soldier informed the guards who were guarding the gate: "Brother Galen, please inform Master Scott, we have found the talents he wants."

The guard named Garen agreed and ran in quickly.

After a while, Garen ran out and said, "Okay, you can go and receive the reward, let me take these people in."

The soldier agreed and left happily.

Garen waved to Albert's family: "Come in with me, Mr. Scott is waiting for you in the study."

Albert dared not refuse to agree, and hurriedly followed his wife and children into the Earl's Mansion, and walked around the way to Scott's study.

Standing outside the study, Galen loudly informed the inside: "Master, the person has been brought in!"

Scott walked out of the study after hearing this: "O? Are these people proficient in Norfolk's rivers?"

Albert quickly knelt down and replied: "Master, I am the only one who is proficient in Norfolk's rivers, and these people behind me are my family."

"Since you are proficient, come in and your family will rest next to you for the time being, Garen, and entertain them." Scott said and entered the study.

Garen nodded and turned around and said, "Ambert, go in, I'll take them to rest first for your family."

"Yes." Albert lowered his head and agreed, then stepped into the study with extreme nervousness.

After entering the study, Scott smiled and called him to sit down: "Please sit down, what's your name?"

No matter how Scott greeted him, Albert didn't dare to sit down and still stood and replied: "Master, my name is Albert, I'm from North Norfolk."

Looking up at the honest man, Scott asked, "Oh! Listen to them, are you well-versed in all the rivers and lakes in the Norfolk area?"

Albert quickly assured: "Yes, lord, although I am from North Norfolk, I have been working in the Norfolk area since I was a child, and have walked through all the rivers and lakes in Norfolk, so I slowly learned about the specific situation!"

"Very good, can you look at the map?" Scott asked, pointing to the map on the table.

Albert head: "Yes."

Scott smiled with satisfaction: "That's great. Come and take a look. This map is the distribution map of lakes and rivers in the Norfolk area. Now I want you to combine this map to connect all the lakes and rivers in the Norfolk area to me, and then build a river transportation network. Can you complete this difficult task?"

Albert walked to the table, reached out to pick up the map and looked at it, then hesitated and said, "Master, the locations of certain rivers on this map are not very accurate, so this map is afraid that it cannot be used, otherwise the river transportation will be deviated."

"This..." Scott was a little embarrassed. This map is a relatively complete map in the family. Where can I get a new map now? You can't walk Norfolk again and then draw it?

Seeing that Scott was a little embarrassed, Albert said again: "Please rest assured. As long as you give me some paper and pen, I can re-draw a new map in more detail. Then I will use the new map to construct the Heyun Network. I don't know if this is OK?"
