Chapter 157: The Manor Court
The next day, William got up early and took Vidal with him to the brickyard next to the village.
William opened the brick kiln and took out the bricks that had cooled inside.
This kind of brick looks similar to the big red brick that built a house in the previous life, although the size is different, but the material is quite similar to the closing rod, and the quality is also very good, I don't want some crisp bricks in the previous life to break when touched.
Satisfied, weighing the bricks in his hand, William found the village elder and asked him to organize people to come here to burn bricks, and the construction of the city was about to begin, and the brick laying as the second step required a large stock to support the construction of the city.
"You guys just be skilled like this, I hope you can burn qualified bricks in five days, and then I will give you a salary of five copper coins a month!" William looked at the bustling crowd below and said solemnly.
"Alright, I'll go first!" After William explained some things, he left here, and he will write out the management methods here tonight, and then publish them here, and select a factory director to manage them.
Just as William was about to go back, Vidal suddenly said to William: "My lord, tomorrow is the trial court once a month, and you also need to attend, last month's trial was delayed due to the battle, so a lot of buttons were put on hold until tomorrow, which may be a bit cumbersome." ”
"My lord, do you want to attend? The lords are eager to see your majestic appearance, too. Vidal said.
"Ah, I'm definitely going to attend this court, you can help me prepare it when the time comes, I'll be there!" William nodded to Vidal.
William also often participated in this manor court, once a month, to settle relatively large cases or disputes in the territory, including the cases of the two territories of Menders Manor and Comos Manor, which were accepted by William.
And William was not the only one who attended the court, the monks of all classes in the territory, the merchants of all sizes, and the knights under William, the wandering knights may also take advantage of this time to attend, in short, as long as they have a little status, they will attend the court.
The next day, William put on his noble robe, which was purple with the help of Lingsi, and had fine patterns embroidered with gold thread on it, which looked extraordinarily luxurious.
"Do you want to come with me to court?" William knocked on Wella's door and asked softly.
"Of course, you wait for me!" Wella said to William in the room, as a baroness, the future mistress of the two estates, of course he should be with William on such an occasion.
William shook his head helplessly, women, it's really endless to dress up.
Finally, just as William was about to lose his patience, Wella came out of the room, accompanied by the old maid who had taken care of her since childhood.
Looking at Wella, whose face was covered with white powder and red lips on her mouth, William shook her head for a while.
"I said that it doesn't look good, and I'm not allowed to wear such makeup in the future, I don't like it!" William dragged Wella back to the room, hand-by-hand washing off the flaming red lips and white powder from Wella's face.
"But that's how everyone else paints!" Wella pursed her lips and struggled weakly.
"I don't care about others, they are not my wife, lover, I only care about you, because you are the one who will accompany me for the rest of my life!" William put his face close to Wella's ear and said in a sultry tone and voice.
The hot breath infected the two people, and Wella's cheeks suddenly turned crimson, and she whispered, "I...... I see, ...... in the future Not in the future! ”
"It's good to know!" William was quite satisfied with Wella's attitude, touched her little head, and said dotingly.
After disposing of Wella's clothes, William noticed Wella's dress.
The lilac fringed skirt is also embellished with gold and silver threads, three small gems are sewn on the collar, and the pleated skirt also looks gorgeous.
The value of this body can be called expensive, and many viscounts and countesses cannot wear such a service, and the various displays in the main castle all show the wealth of the owner of the castle and the husband of this noblewoman.
Looking at Wella, William's eyes narrowed, and his heart blossomed.
This dress was made by the tailor after William took Wella over, and the gold and silver threads alone cost William more than thirty silver coins, each gem is worth about twenty silver coins, and the material of the entire tassel skirt is made of velvet, and the cost of this dress is not less than one hundred and fifty silver coins.
"What are you looking at...... "Wella asked shyly.
"Look at you, you are so beautiful today, different from usual!"
Listening to William's love words, Wella couldn't help but blush again.
"Alright, let's go, let everyone see their future mistress, my wife, the honorable Baroness, Lady Wella!" William raised his hand in front of Wella and said gracefully.
William had been delayed a lot of time at Wella, so he was a little late to enter, and under the eyes of everyone, William, dressed in his rich robes, jumped down from a luxurious carriage drawn by two horses.
Immediately helped the people inside out of the car, the movements were gentle, and it seemed that the movements of the two were very intimate.
The four midshipmen followed behind the carriage, and as William stepped out of the carriage, they also turned over and dismounted, and they were the escort force at William's side.
Holding Wella's hand, William walked to the top of the field.
It was an open-air courtroom, surrounded by higher tables and chairs for the trial and jury seats, and the onlookers could only stand still.
William's group of high-ranking people were of course different from ordinary jurors, they sat on a three-meter-high platform, looking down at the people below.
William and the others were the last to arrive, they walked to the top of the high platform, as William's fiancée, the court has always arranged the position of Weina, although Weina has never attended such an occasion, but the position has not been unprepared.
There were more than a dozen people on the court's bench, the friars in the realm helped Cruise, and a dozen knights also sat aside, and several of William's servants also got a seat because of their status.
On the other hand, Novin and Urimu were unable to attend the trial because they were going to declare their right to rule, so there were two vacant seats on the high platform.
There were more than a hundred people on the jury, and the monks of relatively high rank, and the middle-class merchants, who often did business in William's domain, were eligible to attend the trial.
The crowd of onlookers, they came here because it was related to a certain case, or related to the parties to a certain case, of course, there were many people who followed to see the excitement.
In addition, the number of villagers in the village has reached more than 2,000 people, which is one-eighth of the current population of the territory.
In the eyes of everyone, William had to enforce the law fairly, so as to save the impression of mercy and justice in the hearts of the lords, so that the lords and knights could feel at ease and convinced.
