Chapter 32: Coal is Found
There is an old saying called "born from the heart", Erin's stepfather fully demonstrated the correctness of this sentence, people look like a lewd, thinning hair, thin cheeks, thief eyes are rolling, but pretending to raise his chest and raise his head, seeing Yang Yi did not salute, he raised his hand with a hippie smile and said: "Dear knight lord, thank you for saving Erin mercifully, I am here to take her home." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”
There was no respect at all, and there was even some banter, Yang Yi was very angry when he saw him, he recognized that Erin's stepfather also ate his own beef stewed radish yesterday, and ate more than the average person, this person is not grateful, he ate his beef stewed radish, he was not embarrassed at all, and he felt that he was a new knight, and he would not do anything to him, so next, it was time to stage a good show of kicking his nose in the face.
Yang Yi didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, and said, "There is a lack of a maid in my manor, Irene, I stayed, what conditions and requirements do you have?"
"It's Erin's blessing to be able to serve the knight master, but our family is too poor, and it's not easy to raise Erin, but since the knight lord has spoken, you can give me ten gold coins, what do you think?"
Yang Yi, the knight master, has never seen what gold coins look like until now, and the old Sero told him that the monetary basis here is copper coins, 100 copper coins are equivalent to a silver coin, 100 silver coins are equivalent to a gold coin, and the salary of a nobleman's follower a day is about 30 copper coins, a military horse, black and hairless, six years old, no history of disease and injury, such a horse is worth about 30 to 50 silver coins.
In other words, even if the two horses are not sold, Yang Yi's net worth is less than one gold coin, ten gold coins, at least Yang Yi can live a few months without worrying about food and clothing, Yang Yi has long known that Erin's stepfather will ask for a high price, but he didn't expect Erin's stepfather to dare to open his mouth and ask for ten gold coins, is he poor and crazy?
Erin's stepfather looked at Yang Yi a little nervously, he was indeed a lion who opened his mouth, but the knight master can bargain, five gold coins are also good, I really didn't expect Erin to be favored by the knight lord, does the knight lord like little girls?
Erin's stepfather was thinking nonsense, but Yang Yi didn't answer, looking at him gloomily, his eyes didn't blink, and there was no emotion in his eyes, as if he was looking at a dead man, Erin's stepfather suddenly found that this knight who didn't seem to have much of a frame was actually quite dangerous, just when he wanted to make a discount and didn't speak, Yang Yi smiled, and the laughing Erin stepfather was a little confused, and asked in a daze: "Knight, this price is negotiable." ”
Yang Yi waved his hand, interrupting Erin's stepfather's words, and said, "Let's be honest, I, the knight master, is poorer than you, but I'm going to make up my mind, and she must stay here." ”
"Oh, no, no, Irene's my property, you can't rob my property, the people of Lockshire won't agree. ”
"Who said I'm going to rob Irene? don't worry, I won't let you suffer, I have a cow left, I'll trade the cow for Irene, but you have to sign a contract with me to transfer Erin to me. ”
"No, no, knight, Erin is my baby, a cow can't be exchanged, if you think ten gold coins is too much, give me five, it's okay to have five, not five, two can be, you're a knight, it's not bad for this money......"
Yang Yi didn't interrupt Erin's stepfather's words, listened to him quietly, and said in a deep voice: "I only have one cow, if you don't want it, I can only give you five bags of turnips, and besides, if you don't sign the contract today, you won't be able to go out of my manor, don't believe you look back......"
Whoosh ...... Four 2s, drew out their swords and blocked the door, Fu Man copied his sleeves to watch the excitement, was kicked by Yang Yi, and shouted: "Show your magic wand!"
In the fairy tale world, magicians are transcendent existences, generally speaking, the Earldom will be assisted by magicians, poor knights like Yang Yi, proud magicians disdain to follow around, so Fuman is a façade for Yang Yi, and it is precisely because of the presence of Fuman, a magician, that the people of Rock County will reluctantly believe Yang Yi's words.
Yang Yi has never been able to figure out why a graduated magician would follow him? He always felt that something was wrong with Fuman, but he couldn't say that something was wrong there, but Yang Yi saw a point, Fuman would not leave him, since he would not leave, of course he would use it, should he stay and eat radishes every day?
Forman was kicked by Yang Yi, and reluctantly took out his magic wand, the appearance of the magic wand shocked Erin's stepfather, he was just a turtle after all, and he hadn't even seen a magician, when the top of Forman's magic wand flashed with silver light, he knew how big the gap between himself and Yang Yi was, so big that he couldn't compete at all, because he couldn't represent the people of Lockeshire.
Yang Yi's gloomy voice sounded again: "Either let's happily sign the contract and you happily lead the cow away, or, I use coercive means to make you sign the contract and go with five bags of turnips, you have no choice, oh yes, once you choose wrong, then when I really take power, I have a hundred ways to kill you......"
Under Yang Yi's gloomy gaze and the light of Forman's magic wand, Irene's father succumbed, he understood a truth, Yang Yi may not dare to turn his face with all the people in Lockeshire, but it is no problem to turn his face with him alone, this is the gap, no matter how down-and-out the knight lord is, he is a nobleman, and he can't afford to provoke it.
In this case, Erin continued to make a choice in an instant, in his heart, Erin is not as good as a cow, he earned it, although it was not much, Erin's stepfather bent down and said: "Dear knight lord, as you wish, I choose to leave with the cow." ”
"Sero, you go and bring the cow and let him take it away, Forman prepares the contract and asks him to press the handprint......" Yang Yi finished instructing, without looking at Erin's stepfather, he turned around and left, he is a knight master, a person with status and status, and the rest of the small things are naturally done by his subordinates, and he knight master can't manage so much.
Turned around and walked away in a dashing manner, Yang Yi felt very good about himself, but after returning to the study and telling Erin that she could stay, looking at the smile on Erin's face, Yang Yi began to worry again, the only valuable cow in the manor was given to Erin's stepfather, and now there are only radishes and rye left, even radishes can't be gnawed for a few days.
If you don't die for one day, you have to eat, and if you don't die for two days, you have to wear, this is the helplessness of life, not to mention that Yang Yi still has several people, and it doesn't matter if the salary can't be paid, you have to be able to eat enough. Yang Yi made many promises, took the people of Rock County to get rich, and promised to promote the landlord in Fang Pian 2, but these promises were not fulfilled, and a year later he would be the commander of the light pole.
Yang Yi habitually touched the lace on the cuffs, and fell into deep thought, and after a while, old Sero muttered in, complaining that Yang Yi had replaced the cow with Erin, and he wouldn't even have milk to drink in the future......
Forman also took Erin's contract and walked over and handed it to Yang Yi, Yang Yi took it and looked at it, the contract had Erin's stepfather's handprint on it, put it away and put it in the drawer, Forman glanced at Yang Yi, signaled to go out to talk, the two walked out of the house and came to the manor, the sky was gloomy and looked like it was going to snow.
"Dear knight, our current situation is very embarrassing, you need to come up with a way to solve the current predicament, the real winter is coming, if we don't have income, we won't survive this winter. ”
"I need start-up capital now, Forman, can you borrow some money from your classmates who study magic, and trust me, I'll pay interest. ”
When Fuman heard that Yang Yi had hit him with the idea, he opened his mouth in surprise, and after a long time, he said to Yang Yi, who was full of expectations: "Master Knight, borrowing money is ...... such a thing."
It seems that whether it is the real world or the fairy tale world, it is not easy to borrow money, Yang Yi sighed, just about to persuade Fuman to borrow money, persuade Bodol to come back with six dwarfs, everyone happily carried the basket, and when they saw Yang Yi shouted: "Master Knight, look at what we found?"
Yang Yi was in good spirits, hurriedly greeted him, and said to Podore: "Quick, let me see what you have found?"
Bodol triumphantly took off the back basket, which was a few blue and black stones, Yang Yi immediately recognized that Podol's back basket was filled with iron ore, which was indeed a good thing, and the infrastructure could be used, but the special mother couldn't solve the urgent need, not to mention that with the current technology, it was not easy to refine iron.
"Let me see what other treasures you've found. Yang Yi was unwilling, and looked at the baskets one by one, all of them were special mother's iron ore, and just when Yang Yi was almost disappointed, he suddenly saw a familiar thing, it was a stone in the back basket of Akya, but it was even blacker than iron ore, oil black, oil black.
Yang Yi's hands trembled, if it was really ...... Then he will have a better life in the future, he hurriedly reached out and grabbed the stone, touched it carefully, his eyes suddenly lit up, Bodol saw that Yang Yi was not interested in iron ore, but he was interested in the light black stone, it was very strange, and he said: "Master Knight, what you are holding in your hand is a useless stone, although it is very dark, but it is too soft, it will be broken if you try a little hard, and you can't use it to build a house, Akeya is to pick it up and play." ”
What is Yang Yi holding in his hand? It is coal, a piece of black and shiny coal, in this world of low productivity, the discovery of coal, the value of it, others do not understand, Yang Yi can not understand? Not to mention the iron ore, Yang Yi's mind immediately came up with a lot of plans to make a fortune, not to mention anything else, if you can get rid of the earth furnace and honeycomb coal......
What he has in his hand is not only coal, but also a glittering gold coin.
