"Whenever my father, Uncle Webb, they ...... When you ask someone this question like you just did, that's what you ....... That means. ”

Little Brut looked at his lord with a red face, and said what he had just thought, and at this time he felt ....... I seem to have misunderstood something.

That's not what Lao Tzu meant! Although Lao Tzu likes to watch some action movies, he hasn't gotten to the point of starvation.

Looking at your kid's dodgy appearance, you know that your dad doesn't approve of the matter between you and that Lentina, then Lentina probably doesn't have extraordinary talent, otherwise your dad won't stop you, at least he will acquiesce to your development, and the relationship between lovers is too common in Florence.

In this world where people generally don't like bathing, girls who don't have extraordinary talent are full of onion smells, how can Lao Tzu be able to taste it?

"Brut, I can tell you for sure that I'm not interested in your Rentina. ”

"I'm sorry Earl, but I'...... I'm really sorry I misunderstood you...... You don't tell my father ......"

Little Brut knew that he had misunderstood his lord, and lowered his head in shame, hoping to find a crack in the ground to get into.

"Hmph, little Brut, I seem to remember that the first (night) tax is only paid when the people marry their wives.....! That Rentina?"

"No, my lord, I'm just ...... I don't want to be separated from Rentina......"

"Really?"

Charles straightened up, his eyes burning with gossip flames, but asked in a serious tone: "Lord Ben generally doesn't break up other people's good deeds, but as my knight, you must tell me clearly....... How far have you two gotten now? Hmm...... It's just the two of you...... What's the matter?"

"No...... Lentina said...... The right belongs to you...... adult."

Brut Deman was puzzled at first, then his face turned red, and he was very embarrassed to rub his toes on the ground, he suddenly felt that this earl, who was only a few years older than himself, was even more difficult to deal with than his own father.

"Okay, I'll keep this matter secret for you for the time being, but as a lord's right, the first (night) tax still has to be paid, so ...... A Livre for it!"

Charles, who had satisfied his gossip desires, looked at the embarrassed little Brunt and decided to show his tolerant side to his men.

"One...... Livre Rentina is worth one Livre?"

Little Brut's jaw dropped in surprise, in his mind Lentina was unique and priceless, but now he was marked with such a low price by the Earl......?

Charles immediately said fiercely, "What's the matter? Do you still think it's too high?"

"No, no, no, I'm sorry sir....... Thank you, sir!"

Little Brut quickly took out a fine leather money pouch from his waist, pulled out a new silver Livre coin from it, and then held it in front of Charles with both hands respectfully.

Charles stretched out his hand to take the brand-new silver coin, but his eyes glanced at Little Brut's money bag, and looked at the golden light inside, and suddenly felt aggrieved.

We are also a big nobleman, why don't we have as much pocket money as this kid?

Little Brut left excitedly, and Roy, the butler who had been hiding in the corner, walked over.

"My lord, Basel has returned from the manor to the north, and he has gone to see Miss Olive first, but she has not seen him, and has sent him to you. ”

"Hmm, Olive didn't see him, why?"

Charles was a little puzzled, when he arrived in Bayonne yesterday, he was greeted by the city's dignitaries, but his financial butler, Basel, had gone to the wineries north of the territory to oversee the production of red wine, and it seemed that he had just received the news and rushed back.

"Sir, in the past, Basel used to report the finances of the realm to the Marquis, and when the Marquis was not at home, it was Miss Olive who received him, but now you have ...... , so the young lady didn't see him. ”

Roy was accustomed to Charles' "memory loss", so he briefly explained it to Charles, but when it came to sensitive financial issues and the family relationship between siblings, he said it very implicitly.

"Oh, then bring him here!"

Charles nodded, feeling a little more heartache for Olive in his heart, a little girl who was a junior high school student had to help her brother take care of the territory, and also have to consider her own psychological feelings as an older brother, which was really difficult for her.

Basel was a very serious middle-aged man, with a thin face with two well-trimmed mustaches and two gray-brown eyes that shimmered with subtle shrewdness.

Basel, like Roy, has a noble title, and after meeting Charles, he first came to a set of etiquette for noble subjects to meet the lord, and the meticulous standard of action is much more respectful and strict than those knights in Montero.

"Dear Earl, because it is the season of grape harvest, I have been living in the vineyards and wineries in the countryside during this time, and I did not come back to see you in time, so I ask for your understanding......

"Sit down, I heard you just went to Olive there?"

Charles nodded slightly, and said a word coldly, although he didn't mind his sister taking care of his money like a little miser, but his majesty in front of outsiders must be maintained.

After one of your financial stewards heard that the lord was coming, he didn't immediately greet me, the lord, but went to my sister's place, I don't mind, what would I think if I let outsiders see it?

Basel did not show any panicked expression when he heard Charles's deliberate "knocking", but said calmly.

"Lord Earl, since you actually inherited the territory two years ago, Lord Marquis has rarely interfered in the affairs of Bayona's territory, but at that time, Lord Marquis said that if Lord Count you ...... If it is not convenient, you can hand over the financial matters to Miss Olive Live, and I went to the castle today to find out that you are not in the castle, so I asked to see Miss Olive Live, but Miss Olive did not see me. ”

Hearing Basel's explanation of neither humility nor arrogance, Charles was still cold and majestic on the surface, but he had already nodded secretly in his heart, the financial steward needed this kind of firm character, if Basel was a submissive echo worm, he would not be at ease!

"How long will you be in Bayonne this time, Lord Earl, and if you have the time to spare, I would like to ask you to take a walk around the territory and see if there is anything inappropriate......

"You don't have to take a look, you just need to show me the accounts, I don't like to care about those trivial things, and my sister will be responsible for the specific management details in the future, I will only put forward some requirements in the general direction." ”

"General direction...... What do you mean, Lord Earl?" Basel could not understand the meaning of Charles's words, and asked carefully.

Charles said without thinking: "The general direction is the direction of decision-making in the territory in the next few years, such as tax cuts, I think Bayona's tax amount is set too high, and the various tax amounts in the territory will be reduced in the future." ”

Basel looked at Charles with some confusion, and said a little stiffly: "Lord Earl, are you sure that you are reducing all the tax amounts, not just the first (night) tax?"

“.......”

Charles looked at Roy next to him in amazement, never knowing that this serious man would have the potential to be a long-tongued woman.

Basel bowed his head slightly, and said insistently: "Master, your kindness will not necessarily make people appreciate, but it will damage your majesty, the tax amount set by the Marquis before is not high, if it is lowered again, you will lose too much benefit." ”

Roy also echoed and said, "Yes, sir, we ...... now Money is needed. ”

Charles looked at the two men trying to persuade him, as if he was incompetent and faint and was being persuaded by his courtiers.

"What do you think...... What are taxes?"
