The Addams family and the Mark family are neighbors in a way, and the two families are not far apart.

If the small village of Nisse also has a chain of contempt, then there is no doubt that the Adams family belongs to a small group of people at the top of the village, and the Mark family is at the bottom of the village.

More people, less land, less harvest!

I can't eat enough on weekdays, and the family barely survives by doing odd jobs.

Last year, in order to enter the city of Patras for the winter, he sold more than half of his land to Adams, and only then did he scrape together enough Pis gold coins.

And this year, the family no longer has enough land to sell to others.

The family is destined not to enter the city of Patras, and will become a lonely wild tribe who has been reduced to the outside.

"Damn untouchables, as nasty as flies, a single copper Poole coin can make you sell all your dignity." Adams scolded under his breath, disdain in his eyes.

Although he is also a civilian, Adams always feels that he is different from ordinary civilians, and always feels that he is special.

He is particularly envious of the aristocratic lord's style, although he is not a nobleman, but it does not prevent him from "treating people" with the eyes of the aristocracy.

Like old Gretel, who can "go up to heaven and listen", Adams is highly respected.

But like Mark, who is as humble as an ant, Adams just looks down from above, and even if he says a word to Mark, he will feel that his mouth is dirty.

At this time, the voice of Mark and his wife Ina talking came in.

"Mark, why are you stopping me from pulling the golden grass? While the lord still collects this thing, I will pull out a little more, exchange more Poole copper coins, and give the children more black bread! Ina's voice was puzzled.

"My Ina, why are you still pulling goldenrod? Don't pull it out! Quick, come with me! Mark's voice was urgent and uncontrollable with excitement.

"Let's go, where are we going?"

"Go to the lord! Soon, it's too late, it's gone! “

"Late? Is the lord going to stop buying this grass? No, no, I'm going to take these for a trade! “

Overhearing this, the corners of Adams' mouth curled up, and the pain of others could make him happy.

Then it didn't take long for Mark and his wife to talk, and Adams's smile froze.

"It's not! Be...... It's ......"

"What is it? Tell me, I'm in a hurry! “

"It's the lord who announced that he wants to recruit some people to make brooms, dustpans, and baskets!"

"What is a dustpan?"

"It's ...... It is...... I don't know, but I do know that the lord said that there are three Poole copper coins per day, and there are additional rewards for making them quickly! ”

"Really? Mark! Ina shouted excitedly.

"Has our lord ever told a lie? He said that he would exchange the gold silk grass for the Poole copper coin, did he change it? How dare you question what he said? Mark's voice was tinged with a hint of displeasure.

"No, dear, I'm just...... I was just...... So what am I going to do now? ”

"Oh, quick! Come with me! If it's too late, maybe the lord will recruit enough people! If you're serious, maybe you can learn a craft, and your days will be much better! ”

"Good!"

Then there was the sound of a rush of running.

"What did the Baron do?" With such a question, Adams walked quickly to the door, pushed open the door and wanted to ask, only to see the back of Mark's family in the distance.

Adams opened his mouth, and what he wanted to say didn't have a chance to say after all, and he could only watch the Mark family disappear from his sight.

The nearby villagers, after hearing Mark's words, also became curious, and approached the earthen house where William was located.

in the house.

Merton frowned, but Huster's expression still didn't change.

But old Gretel's gaze looked beyond Adams' body and looked out of the door, and suddenly laughed in a low voice, "Hehehe, Lord William is really a surprising lord!" ”

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Three days later, in the evening, after William had once again practiced the new knight's breathing method and the knight's sword, he wiped the hot sweat from his forehead and ate white bread in the room while listening to Old John's report.

In the past few days, more and more golden silk grass has been purchased, and the house cannot be placed, so under William's order, all the golden silk grass has been moved to the open space next to the house, and Charles, a newly transferred craftsman, led a group of villagers to weave containers here.

Moreover, there are some freshly picked golden silk grasses that need to be turned over and dried to remove the moisture, so that they can weave brooms, dustpans, and baskets! It's also a little more convenient to put outside!

As for security, it's just a matter of letting Charles supervise more!

The deterrence of Jacques Potter's fate is still there, and the people of this group don't dare to do anything out of the ordinary for the time being, so there has been no theft of the golden grass.

"Your Excellency, according to your orders, we have spent one pith gold coin, one franc of silver, and forty-six poole copper coins on the acquisition of golden silk grass in the past few days." Old John reported with a little distress.

"Haha, the villagers are very efficient!" William quipped happily instead.

"Those untouchables, when they saw the copper Poole, pounced on it like a wild dog had met...... I'm sorry, Lord Baron, but I mean, the villagers are greedy for money. Old John gritted his teeth and said what was in his heart, and when he came back to his senses, he realized that he had said the wrong thing.

"Haha, old John, take it easy. The pursuit of everyone's desires is limitless. The money is spent, and there is a day when it is earned. Okay, you can move on. “

"I'm sorry, Lord Baron, I was rude just now, thank you for your leniency!"

Old John paused, swallowed, and then continued, "We recruited a total of 20 villagers, and paid each of them 3 copper pools a day, and two of the other villagers, Mark and his wife Ina made things quickly and well, and in the same time, others could only make two baskets, and they were able to make three. According to the reward policy you mentioned, I rewarded each of them with an additional 2 Poole Copper Coins per day. When he said the last point, old John was also a little apprehensive in his heart, and he didn't know if William would blame him, although he didn't think William would be.

Sure enough, when William heard his reward method, instead of getting angry, he praised him and said, "Well done, old John, in fact, you can reward a little more." Thousands of dollars buy horse bones! ”

"Lord Baron, you don't need a thousand gold pith coins to buy a horse bone! Whoever dares to sell it to you like this is a liar! I'm going to hang them! ”

Old John heard William's praise, his heart was a lot more steady, and the corners of his mouth showed a smile, but when he heard William's last words, his little heart pounded violently, and he almost jumped out of his throat, he was really afraid that the baron, who was now acting unpredictable, would do such a thing!

"Haha, I'm just making an analogy!" Seeing Old John's reaction so big, William, who subconsciously used the pre-secular language, smiled awkwardly.

"Lord Baron, this is not an appropriate analogy." Old John actually took great pains to educate William, and he was really afraid.

Even if you buy goldenrod, it's all drizzle, and it doesn't cost much. But if William really did the thing of buying a pair of horse bones with a thousand gold coins, old John suddenly felt that the sky was about to fall!

"I see, old John. Go on. William chuckled dryly, then changed the subject to let Old John continue to report the situation.

William was a lord after all, and Old John couldn't say anything more.

"In terms of the villagers' compensation, we spent a total of 192 Poole copper coins."

William nodded, that is, in terms of labor compensation, a total of close to two francs of silver coins were spent? It doesn't cost much.

"Charles's side has made a total of 215 brooms, 86 dustpans, and 64 baskets!" Old John suddenly remembered something, and glanced at Charles, who was rubbing his hands, and said, "Your Excellency, you still need to pay Charles 25 Poole copper coins." “

This is close to Old John's day's salary, Charles's extra income, why doesn't Old John feel good?

They all work for Lord Baron, how can there be such a difference?

"25 copper Poole coins?" William was stunned for a moment, and then remembered, "Oh, is that the reward method I said?" “

William asked, "Did you give it to Charles?" ”

"Not yet, Lord Baron, waiting for you......"

"Then pay Charles now." William said casually.

Charles, who was standing quietly next to him, heard this, his eyes shrank suddenly, it turned out that everything the Baron said was true!

In any case, 25 Poole Copper Coins is a lot of money, and you can buy 5 pieces of brown bread, which can make a person eat for 15 days.

"Yes, Lord Baron." Old John's eyes flashed, and after all, he still did not persuade William to be thrifty, but counted out 25 Poole copper coins from his money bag and handed them to Charles.

"Charles, congratulations!"

"Thank you! Thank you, Lord. Charles thanked Old John and bowed to William.

Old John smiled reservedly, but William waved his hand casually and said, "This is what you deserve!" ”

Charles suddenly felt an inexplicable smell in his heart.

At this time, Old John also asked William, "Lord Baron, do you still want to continue to buy golden silk grass?" ”

"How many more of our golden threads are there?" William thought for a moment and asked.

"There are about 1,000 more bundles, and they are full. However, the nearby golden silk grass has been harvested by the villagers, and if there is still golden silk grass, then the villagers will have to go into the depths of the dark forest to mine, where it will be more dangerous. ”

"In that case, then suspend the acquisition of Golden Silk Grass!" William Dao, for him, talent is the most valuable possession.

"Okay, Lord Baron, do you want those 20 villagers?"

"Keep them weaving baskets, and the pay will not change!" William didn't want this simplest craft workshop to be disbanded, so he said.

Old John's brow furrowed, but he replied, "Yes, Lord Baron." ”

"Old John, inform the villagers that the second meeting of the whole village will be held again tomorrow!" William ordered.

"Second meeting?" Old John wondered.

"Oh, I mean, I have something new to announce." There have been too many meetings in my previous life, and William can't help but say.

"Yes, sir!" Old John straightened up.

"Hmm. Let's go down. William waved old John and they away, and then sat down in his chair, not knowing what he was thinking, and sat for a while, and then said suddenly.

"Magic Mirror, what is my physical fitness right now?"

The mirror that had been placed on the table flashed, and a shrill voice appeared in William's mind.

"Master, master, your physical attributes are as follows: Strength: 2.2, Constitution: 2, Agility: 2.3, Status: Normal!"

"The physical fitness is still the same as last time, has it not changed? Although there are better training methods for knights, and they can also perform perfect exercises under the guidance of the magic mirror, in the end, the time is still too short! William frowned and muttered in a low voice.

In fact, he was not as relaxed as he appeared in front of Old John.

The two killers of the Scarlet Hand didn't know who sent them, and their own territory had made the lizardmen thing happen, everything made William feel uneasy, but he didn't show it.
