When he said that he was going to find someone, the monk was very embarrassed and was thinking about what to say to refuse. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info after all, he burned all the house slaves of the lord lord,

Cheng Qianxun smiled and said, "Of course I won't let Monk Bai help, right, dear Regel." "Keep winking.

Regel pretended to be fascinated and raised his chest: "Well, well, of course you can't be busy in vain. Otherwise, these people in the church are good, and I will pay their salaries, and of course, if the church needs them, they must follow your monk's arrangement, how about it? ”

This means that all wages are paid by Regel, and they can use them, the monk nodded immediately.

In fact, this is also part of the plan, and it is very likely that you will make a mistake by recruiting people outside. Many mercenaries are also robbers, and when someone hires them, they become thugs, and when they don't have money, they join forces to rob and kidnap. And these people, all of whom have sworn allegiance to the church, will not kidnap their masters for ransom; And the peasants are also accustomed to their faces, and when they collect taxes, they must obediently hand them over.

They don't want to camp for a long time, and they can't keep it, as long as they save their lives temporarily, they have to use any resources.

The original carriage was wiped clean, the horses were sheathed, and everything was returned to its rightful owner. The monk also sent two men, one in a carriage and one for protection, to escort them back.

The carriage walked slowly, jolting slightly on the uneven road.

Along the way, the two boasted about how capable they were, one saying that he had fought against five robbers, and the other saying that he had never lost a penny when he helped his former owner collect taxes, even if it was half a copper coin, and still took it back.

Of course, Regel said: "Well, yes, if you do a good job in the future, I will be rewarded." ”

This made the two of them happy, as if they had seen the money in hand. After being delivered to the door, the two of them also took the hat in their hands, nodded goodbye, and said that they would come over tomorrow to help collect taxes.

When the door closed, Rudolph approached, still wearing armor and walking stiffly and slowly.

He panted and said, "The people of the church have returned all the things, and they probably don't know how many, so they will move back those who are not ours." ”

"That's good, we'll be masters from today onwards." Regel smiled and said, "Be happy, you're a privileged knight now. ”

"Your honorable master." Rudolph said weakly: "I smell roast meat on you, but your faithful servant is still hungry. In order to maintain your dignity, I wore a tin shell for a day. ”

Cheng Qianxun laughed: "I'll go and prepare the potato and chicken soup, and Sneijder will trouble catching a chicken." Legel, or you can help Rudolph take off his armor! ”

"Oh, thank you to all the gods." Rudolph let out a long breath: "I'm dying of exhaustion, please put more potatoes in the chicken broth, I don't want to nibble on black bread, and there is no bread now." ”

Cook the potato and chicken soup as fast as you can, the soup is almost ready, but Rudolph and Regel haven't come in yet.

Cheng Qianxun looked at the fire and said, "Sneijder, you go out and ask Rudolph to come in and eat." ”

"They'll come in." Sneijder forked a few potatoes with a fork and roasted them on the fire: "I'm mending that hole, but I can't let that kid climb in again, he is invisible, even if he dangles in front of him, he can't see it." ”

At this time, Rudolph and Regel walked in, and Cheng Qianxun hurriedly scooped up the soup: "Hurry up and eat." ”

"I'm starving!" Rudolph wiped his hand directly on his clothes a few times, sat down with a spoon and began to eat. It was very hot, and after he blew a few bites, he put it in his mouth, and still inhaled repeatedly: "Oh, it's delicious, well, it's delicious." ”

"I'll do it too." Regel also sat down and waited to eat.

Cheng Qianxun took out a wooden bowl from the side and helped Regel scoop up the soup: "You haven't eaten enough in the church just now?" ”

"Just the salted roasted fruit? Come on, there's no chicken soup to eat. Legel happily watched the steaming chicken soup into the bowl: "I have to think of a way tomorrow, that kid's stealth technique is indeed a big trouble." If we don't solve him one day, we will be in danger one day. ”

"Well, bring me another bowl." Rudolph finally raised his head, waited for the soup to be served, and said, "I have an idea, the wall here is high enough, except for the main entrance, you can only climb the ladder." The only good thing about that kid is that he can't fly! Simply we add a ladder tax, and whoever wants to own a ladder must pay a tax. Collect all the ladders, and whoever wants to use them will come and use them for free for two hours, and if the ladders are gone, they will lose money. This kid doesn't have a ladder! ”

"Ladder tax... After thinking about it, Regel suddenly laughed: "Good idea, this kind of very damaging method, only you can think of it." ”

"Thank you!" Rudolph took the bowl and raised his eyebrows: "Do you want to call me insidious?" ”

Cheng Qianxun was happy: "It's that kid who is insidious, and he may be allowed to run in without some special methods." Eat quickly, watch Regel eat so fast. ”

"Well, as long as the lord says that the tax will be raised, the peasant can only pay the tax. Either pay taxes or hand over a ladder to come up. Snead nodded, and then came up with an idea: "Let's make the door muddy again, and send two people to watch it, if there are footprints on the ground out of thin air, it proves that the little wizard is here." ”

"Okay, I'll do it early tomorrow morning!" Legel couldn't speak clearly, wiped his mouth with the back of his hand, and raised the empty bowl to look at the pot: "Give me another bowl." ”

"Here, leave me some. You are not allowed to drink any more! Rudolph was so anxious that he cried out, but he didn't stop eating.

"Don't fight, there's so much to eat! We are now lords, we can go hunting, and we will have a large group of people waiting for us from tomorrow. Snead pulled the hot potatoes off his fork with a knife: "I'll go get the butter and eat it." ”

Hot potatoes dipped in butter must be more delicious than cold potatoes. Cheng Qianxun hurriedly said: "Take a little more, I want it too." ”

People want to dip white sugar in white sugar, want to dip brown sugar in brown sugar; They want to dip the butter in the butter and the happy life begins.

Good food and drink, plus the life of people around you, horses and horses, of course, need money to support, and it takes a lot of money. And the source of money is reasonable and legal exploitation, that is, the collection of taxes.

The monks did not build it, but they sent all the old women who came to the church, from the executioners to the old women who swept the floor and cooked, and they came every day, and if the church needed it, they would return to the church, so that all the wages of the church would be saved.

There are more than 30 people in total, and more than 200 copper coins will be used every day, which is about the price of two silver coins. The lowest is the old woman who sweeps the floor and cooks, two copper coins a day; The highest, of course, is the executioner of the sword, eight copper coins a day.

Whoever had the finest armor, a shield, a horse, and a sword, like Rudolph, needed thirty copper coins a day; Of course, the more you earn, the more you spend, and it cost twelve copper coins to help Rudolph hire a person to serve a special person.

The twelve copper coins were not unjustly spent every day, the armor and shields were to be polished and shiny, and the horses were to be fed morning and evening, so the man was to live in the stables and be on call. When necessary, he also saddled his horse and waited for him, and bought salt and vinegar to polish his armor and shield, and it is said that every day this little man used at least three copper coins. If you want to save face, you need money to support it!

So Regger immediately ordered that he personally lead the first collection of taxes, and that Rudolph, who was in armor, go with him.

Ten executioners with swords, of course, were now the thugs of the lord's support, and the lord Legel got into the carriage and took the loyal knights with him to collect the taxes.

With a servant, it is idle and boring. The books in the study are all foreign languages, either Latin or German, French or English, these languages are almost the same in Cheng Qianxun's eyes, and they are the same as incomprehensible. In boredom, I went downstairs.

On the stairs there was a maid in coarse cloth who was wiping the railings of the stairs, and down there was another maid kneeling and washing the floor with a brush. Walking to the kitchen, there were four old women cooking; The stove was already smelling of burnt bread.

Everywhere they went, all the maids stopped what they were doing and saluted slightly: "Madam! ”

Of course, Cheng Qianxun ignored it arrogantly and walked into the courtyard again. At this time, the ground was swept clean, the uneven places were bulldozed, and there were people in the yard who were harvesting ripe vegetables, people picking fruit from the trees, and people in the barn feeding the cattle and repairing the broken houses.

From cold and lonely to extremely lively, Cheng Qianxun has nothing to do.

By the way, what is Sneijder doing? Just as he was thinking about it, he heard the woman's presumptuous and loud laugh scream.

An unusually sexy-looking blonde woman ran out of the house with her hair disheveled, giggling and looking behind her as she ran. The breasts that are not bound by underwear are choppy when they run. And the distance behind him is Sneijder!

When the woman saw that it was the fiancée of the man who was chasing her behind her, she immediately stopped. She squatted down slightly in embarrassment and saluted: "Madam! ”

Sneijder also saw it, so he walked to Cheng Qianxun's side, as if to comfort him, and waved his hand to let the maid leave.

"Lord's brother, my fiancé, apparently you've found a good way to exercise." Cheng Qianxun looked at the maid, walking with her hips thrown from side to side, like a big fat duck, and jokingly said: "In the Middle Ages, when there was a lack of materials, it was obviously this hand that could grow so fat." ”

Snead whispered in her ear, "Do you think I'm so fond of chasing a woman who has been baptized about once in addition to being born?" I could smell her running in front of me from five meters away. ”

He said very seriously: "It was my dear brother who told me before leaving, that I must flirt with a maid." A nobleman who flirts with a maid is considered normal! ”

Although there was no mirror, Cheng Qianxun believed that her facial expression at this time must be very strange. She asked rhetorically, "Then what should I do, do I flirt with those grooms and farmers?" ”

"He didn't say this, maybe from time to time people bump into you to seduce my lord's brother, which is in line with your current identity." Sneijder's words made people burst into laughter.

"Then you go ahead and work, I don't think I see it. Forget it, I'd better go back and close the door and sleep. Cheng Qianxun felt that this was all she could do at the moment.

"Okay, I'll go!" Snead didn't forget to turn his head and sigh again: "I've been running so hard, I hope my dear brother will come back and run again after collecting his taxes." ”

Immediately made Cheng Qianxun laugh!

As soon as I was lying on the bed, I heard the exaggerated high-decibel laughter of a woman. Cheng Qianxun didn't bother to look at it, but it was obviously another woman's voice. If you exercise like this every day, Sneijder's running speed and endurance will probably be the best in the future. (To be continued.) )
