Renard handed one of the cigars to the young man, puffed on the smoke ring and said, "I'll give you an idea, and you do what I say, and you will be sure to complete the task." ”

The young man took two deep puffs of his cigarette, quickly extinguished it on the sole of his shoe when he was not paying attention, and secretly carried it into his arms.

How could Renard not notice his little movements, but he didn't care, and said to himself: "Go to the slums to the east and get some hob meat, and tell them that whoever stays in front of Old Walker's shop for six hours will have a full meal." ”

The dog was stunned, obviously not knowing the meaning of these three words.

"It's those cheap skins who don't remember to eat and don't remember. Renard frowned and explained, feeling that it would be better for him to say less advanced terms in the future.

"Oooh. The dogleg replied a little vaguely, because he was still a little unsure, so he immediately asked embarrassedly: "Does the young master have any deep meaning in doing this?"

Renard smiled with a cigar in his mouth, and said four words leisurely: "Convince people with virtue." ”

"What do you do?" The tall and thin young man was not the kind of guy with a muddy head, and he thought it would be better to ask clearly about things he didn't know much about, so as not to miss a big thing.

"That's how you ......," Renard gave him a detailed description of the process, and finally added: "Don't be stingy with the best untouchables, and give a bounty of ten coppers." ”

Then he was a little worried and said, "Warn them not to make trouble." ”

Then he let out a long breath and looked out the window at the bright sun: "Do as I say, and in a few days old Walker will come to us on his own initiative." ”

As he spoke, he pulled a few silver coins out of his pocket and tossed them over.

The dog leg caught the silver coin and showed a smile on his face, although he felt that this matter was a little unreliable, but he didn't dare to refute it, so he had to take the order to leave.

This is the trick that Renard learned in his previous life to rectify the old lai, when a distant relative opened a machinery factory, specializing in the production of mechanical parts, with the gradual expansion of the scale of production, credit things happen from time to time, and things that owe money and do not pay it abound.

Relatives eat both black and white, but the old man is the old man, always arguing with you and selling miserably, and he really can't resist it, so he left down a cruel sentence: "If you don't have money, you want to die." ”

In the end, someone thought of a way and hired a group of old ladies to block each other's doors every day, whether it was the door of the company or the door of the house, there were always six or seven old ladies squatting.

At that time, I told them: "Blocking at the door at seven o'clock in the morning, taking care of food at noon, no one is allowed to move, and settling the bill at eight o'clock in the evening, two hundred yuan per person." ”

These old ladies are very powerful, no one will persuade them to leave, if you dare to touch me, I will dare to lie down.

Treat others the way they do, and there will always be people who are more dependent than you.

In the end, the other party not only couldn't do the business, but even his life was seriously affected, and he really had no choice but to pay back.

Renard was going to use this trick on old Walker until he doubted his life, and unless he didn't want to continue in Fort St. Brieu, he had to do it.

If nothing else, old Walker will soon realize what kind of villain he has offended.

Dogleg was very obedient, and he came to the slums of the East End to convey Renard's request in full, but did a little bit of action: "Young Master Renard said, whoever can stay in front of Old Walker's shop for six hours will be rewarded with a kilogram of rye bread." ”

Rye bread made from wheat bran mixed with semolina is inexpensive, and two copper plates can buy a kilogram, which shows how refreshing this rebate is.

Even so, the dog leg still felt that he was too generous, thinking about whether he could continue to squeeze: "It's just a pariah, what if you don't give it, you can still turn it back." ”

However, this thought only flashed in his mind, and he did not dare to change Renard's arrangement at all, so he hurried to the bakery to buy a full thirty kilograms of rye bread, and then squatted in front of Old Walker's shop and waited quietly.

After about ten minutes, several sneaky figures suddenly appeared at the end of the street, and they probed their brains and quietly approached Old Walker's shop.

Dressed in tatters, they were clearly the most humble pariahs in Fort Saint-Brieu.

Here we will focus on the class system of the Arthurian kingdom.

More than 200 years ago, the Holy See sent an expeditionary force to conduct a cross-sea battle against the Eastern Earth Continent, but was defeated by the powerful Tang Empire army, and the system of divine authority of the monarchy suffered an unprecedented blow.

Although the northern part of the continent is still under the jurisdiction of the Holy See, more than two dozen countries in the southernmost part of the continent, including the Kingdom of Arthur, have expressed that they will no longer accept the coronation of the pope, and the era of royal supremacy has quietly arrived.

However, what is embarrassing is that the long-term fall of the monarch's power has caused the feudal officials to go their own way, and they are not willing to accept the jurisdiction of the monarch at all.

For example, in the new kingdom of Arthur, although the monarch is at the top of the pyramid of power, the power of the nobles is also not small, and they can even influence the will of the king.

Fortunately, the king occupies the largest, most prosperous, and most fertile land in the country, and has the largest, most loyal, and most powerful army in his hands, so no one dares to openly argue with him, so the monarch and nobility constitute the top of the pyramid of power.

Below the two are the clergy, as the former rulers, even if they lose the power in their hands, but by means of curing diseases and exorcisms, they still have a very high class status.

Below the clergy were the common people, who were the largest class, but all free people could be called commoners.

Of course, the gap between civilians and civilians is still quite large, such as soldiers, craftsmen, merchants, scholars, and adventurers, whose status is much higher than that of the crops that are scavenged and eaten in the fields.

Below the commoners are the untouchables, who have no freedom, they are either slaves who sell themselves voluntarily, slaves and criminals who are forced to sell themselves, or vagrants who have no status.

The largest number of people in the castle of Saint-Brieux were commoners, followed by untouchables, such as the tenants who farmed for Baron Hammidon and the servant maids who served in the castle, most of whom were unfree.

These people were the private property of the nobility, and their descendants were untouchables for the rest of their lives, and they should never be freed from such status unless a lord pardoned them, which was almost impossible to happen.

Similarly, the gap between untouchables and untouchables is even greater, and Serena is now a pariah, but her status in Fort Saint-Brieux is even much higher than that of many commoners.

At least the well-born doglegs are to respectfully call Miss Serena, because she is Renard's lover.

The above has nothing to do with the task of the doglegs, all the other party has to do is to keep an eye on the untouchables, watch them stay in front of Old Walker's shop for six hours, and then reward them with a piece of hard rye bread.
