Chapter 13: A Father's Love
"This, this ......"
Xiu Ke's sudden idea surprised Xiu Yin, and this bold idea made Xiu Yin a little overwhelmed, "Well, father, I think it's better to think about this matter, and besides, they are going to buy the whole mine, and maybe there are new mines in it." ”
"Ahem, then let Reiner, who is in charge of the mine, take a good look at it......"
Shuke felt that he had said too much today, and instructed Xiu Yin to work hard to cultivate spiritual power and strive to become an official mage as soon as possible, and then went back to his room to rest.
"This month's song, there must be something in the pit that attracts them, so they will buy the whole mine......"
After closing the door of his room, Xiu Yin leaned against the door and thought about Yuege's sudden visit, especially his father's words that he would share half of the income from the sale of the mine to himself, so that Xiu Yin's heart could not calm down at this moment.
"At least a few hundred gold coins can be distributed!"
Xiuyin's heart is beating extremely fast, this money may not be anything to Xiuke, but for Xiuyin, who has just come to the New World, it is an astronomical amount, like the expenses of an ordinary family here in Lyxingburg are a few gold coins a year, which is still a very good standard of living in Laixingburg.
Even in "his" eyes, the money could buy a high-quality staff or a dozen hardcover books on magic!
Xiu Yin was eager to encourage Xiuk to sell the mines, so that if he lost the struggle to inherit the title in the future, he would at least have enough money to live in style.
However, Xiu Yin thought about it for a while, "But if I win the inheritance struggle, wouldn't it be a few hundred gold coins that Lin Ke would take away?"
Xiu Yin shook his head vigorously, he was really not good at continuing to think about such a black belly.
"Everything depends on my father's wishes......"
Early the next morning, when the news of a troop of soldiers stationed at Fort Lysing was reported to Baron Schuck, Schuin's father was at a loss, "Is it the cavalry?"
"Not the cavalry, it's Captain Kassel's infantry regiment, and I guess he'll be coming soon. Bill, who had already seen the group of soldiers, said.
"I only set off yesterday to send a letter to Bones City about Moon Song, how did the infantry regiment get there so quickly?...... unless" Shuk was a little nervous, the only possibility was that this group of soldiers had set off early.
"Honorable Baron, I am ordered by Lord Fell to lead thirty-four soldiers to assist Lyxing Fort in exterminating and defending against the demonic beasts that invade here. ”
When Cassel stood in front of the baron and explained his intentions, Schuck said, "Captain Cassel has really worked hard for you, Bill, and you helped Cassel to settle down in the old camp next to town!"
"Yes, Lord Baron!" Bill led Cassel out of the mansion.
However, before leaving the door, Cassel turned around and added, "By the way, my lord, Count Fair's order is urgent, so we didn't prepare enough food when we left, so we have to supply these days!"
"Don't worry, Captain Cassel!"
Shuk said this almost through gritted teeth, and when Cassel and Bill walked out of the mansion together, Shuk slammed his fist on the table.
There was a "bang" sound, and the vase on the table shook a few times.
"Father, what's wrong?"
Xiu Yin saw that there were many more warriors in armor outside, and when he wanted to ask his father what was going on, he happened to hear the sound of Xiuke's punch.
"I didn't expect the news of the appearance of demonic beasts in Lystar Castle to let Bones City know, these soldiers were sent by Count Fair!" Shuk said viciously with anger, "Count Fell is completely bullying, this is naked robbery, how much money do these soldiers spend a day with me?
Xiu Yin suddenly realized, at that time, he still wondered why his father was particularly afraid of the news of the appearance of the Demon Beast leaked, it turned out that the Bone City could save a sum of money on supporting the soldiers through this matter.
The Neumann family didn't have much money from the territory, and now there are suddenly so many more soldiers to support, so Xiu found that it was not easy to be a baron, and even began to want to inherit the title.
At this time, Shuk said in a tone that had already been decided, "It seems that the mine must be sold!"
"Father?" Xiuin was actually trying to persuade him, because the Laixing pit was the only mineral resource for the Neumann family.
"Don't persuade me, there's no way, if you don't sell the mine for some gold coins, what will you use to feed these soldiers? ”
At this moment, Xiu Yin suddenly found that his father seemed to be much older, although he was not his real father, but in this new world, he really cared about himself and knew that he and Ianna were two people.
"I'll send someone to contact Field, Xiuin, you go too, and you and the pit leader Reiner will estimate how much more minerals are left. ”
Since Xiu Yin killed two sharp-horned demon wolves in the mining area and his soul power reached level 2, Xiu Ke's attitude towards Xiu Yin has also changed a lot, and the affairs of the family have also gradually involved Xiu Yin, which has never been done before, and it has always been Lin Ke who has had the opportunity to participate in these things.
Shuk looked at Xiu Yin with anticipation and shame, "Go, Xiu Yin, my father believes in your ability, but I have indeed neglected the cultivation of your two brothers over the years......
"Father, do you really want to sell some mines?" Xiuin, who had already stood up and was ready to leave, asked his father again.
Xiu Yin suddenly had a bold idea before going to bed last night, and when he saw Xiu Ke's eyes today, he knew that Xiu Ke would definitely agree, because his father still loved his child.
"Xiu Yin, you know, the family's income is not much, these soldiers from Bone City stay for a month, it is not enough to have a few dozen gold coins, they will not know how to be concise here. ”
Xiu Xin nodded, he knew all this, and he also knew the old camp next to the town, there was almost nothing there, and these soldiers would definitely have to buy new camp tents and new living items when they came, as well as a large number of bows and arrows for the soldiers to use, these were all expensive expenses.
His father, Schuck, was a good baron, and in the nearly twenty years since he took over Fort Laixing, he had never squeezed a single copper coin from the inhabitants, and the tax rate was very low, and it was he who made the almost abandoned Laixing mine start construction again, although the production of ore was already extremely low, but at least it injected some vitality into Fort Laixing.
Xiu Yin does not belong to this world, and seriously said that Xiu Ke is not his real father, but Xiu Yin is a person who knows how to be grateful, and the way Xiu Ke looks at him is the same as the original world when his parents poured out their family property for their left eye, it is the love of parents for their children.
Therefore, Xiu Yin is willing to continue the name of the Iman family, and is also willing to contribute some strength to the future of this family.
So Xiu Yin clenched his fists, and this was the first time that "he" said to the Baron without being humble or arrogant, "Father, I have an idea that only half of the property rights of the mine will be sold, and the other half will be left to me to manage!"
