Chapter 9 I knew that you were premeditated to be so good to me

Ke Mingde was very satisfied with the new clothes he had made, the cotton and linen blend fabric was soft and comfortable, the rows of brass buttons looked neat, and the moccasins fit well, worthy of the four silver coins spent.

The currency of this world uses a dual-track system of copper and silver, and the emperor stipulates that one silver coin can be exchanged for one hundred copper coins, and five copper coins can buy a pound of wheat, and the food and clothing of a family of five is basically five silver coins a month, and four silver coins is already a large expenditure.

Ke Mingde looked in the mirror, his hair had not been taken care of for a few days, and his beard had grown a little, but he had not shaved it, and the men of the Totai world were beautiful in their beards.

In any area where the social order is stable, there is a strict household registration system, and he now needs to reissue his identity certificate under the pretext that he has lost it, but Abel's son-in-law is the clerk of Sweetwater and happens to have the authority to manage it.

"Toot, toot, toot!" there was a knock on the door.

"Asuna is there? I'm Durruin!"

The door opened, and a woman walked out, with brown hair and a delicate appearance.

"Why are you here, come in, who is this?"

"I'm here to deliver some Roroso, this is Ko Mingde, who is currently living in our house......" Durruin and Ko Mingde went into the living room and introduced Asuna about Ko Mingde.

"Is my brother-in-law at home? I'll take him to check his identity. ”

"He's upstairs, I'll tell him to come down, and you have tea first." With that, Asuna, strotted up the wooden staircase.

It is a small two-story building, with a brick and stone structure, neat and beautiful, the floor is clean, and the furniture is spotlessly clean. Behind the house is a small garden with servants for beekeeping.

The clerk walked down the stairs, with curly blond hair, white skin, a slightly chubby build, and a gold ring on each hand.

"Oh, dear Duruin, long time no see!" he smiled as he walked over and shook Kommad's hand.

"I know you, lucky traveler, Asuna told me about you. ”

"It's very lucky, the desert is terrible. Ke Mingde said politely.

"That's nature, I also went to the desert when I was young, the days were hot, the nights were cold, the air was dry, there was no moisture, thanks to His Excellency the Holy Mage, the sand-proof mountains were built. He lowered his head and put his left hand on his chest, "Praise Tricary!"

"Praise Tricary!" said the others.

Chest caressing, a common ritual for those who live on the east side of Trikary.

"Asuna, bring the ink and pen, and take a piece of parchment. The clerk said.

He took a pair of scissors from the cupboard, cut the parchment into two palm-sized squares, and dipped a quill in ink.

"Mr. Ke Mingde, your name?"

"Kommid Isaac Newton. ”

The name of a person in the world of Totai is made up of three parts: first name, middle name, and last name. The first name is taken by the parents at birth, and the middle name is usually the mother's maiden surname, for example, Durrouin's full name is Durrouin Porter Gorman, and his father is Abel Cork Gorman, women generally have two first names, and the same is true before marriage, after marriage, the middle name is changed to the father's surname, and the surname follows the husband's surname.

Ke Mingde followed the local customs, and also gave himself a middle name and a third part of the surname.

"Origin?"

Ke Mingde thought for a moment and said, "Just write Sweetwater!"

After registration, the clerk took the prepared copper seal, burned it red in the fire, and branded two stamps in the lower right corner of the parchment.

One was given to Ko Mingde, and the other was to be sent to the archives of the Baron's Mansion.

......

For dinner, I still ate soup cakes, but I didn't put bacon, just boiled some sweet potatoes and potatoes (in fact, these are just some foods similar to sweet potatoes and potatoes, for ease of understanding, the following are all used words that exist in Chinese), Abel's family is relatively wealthy in the town, but they don't eat meat every day, and Ke Mingde only eats meat for the first meal he came.

"Mr. Newton, you have been living in our house for five days, are you ready to do anything to make money?" Abel asked.

Ke Mingde is a little strange, everyone calls him Ke Mingde these days, but this time Abel called him by his surname and used an honorific title.

"Not yet, but I'm going to go to the Baron's Court and ask if I need a math teacher, or an accountant. ”

After a few days of learning about Sweetwater, he found that the level of education here is very low, the productivity is not developed, it is difficult to find a job, and he has any skills to support himself, so he moved this idea.

Although there is a super printer in hand, but the place of life is not familiar, it shows that wealth is a blessing or a curse, it is better to be cautious.

"Ahh......h ”

"You have something to say!" Ke Mingde saw that Abel had something on his mind.

"Is that so, would you like to be a soldier?" Abel asked, his face a little embarrassed.

"Be a soldier?" Ke Mingde was surprised.

"I give five silver coins a month, I don't need to spend money on food, shelter and clothing, I can retire after three years as a soldier, and I haven't fought in the past few years, so it's very safe. Abel added, "I've heard that the army can also learn the secret techniques of knights. ”

Three-year retirement...... Ke Mingde was a little moved, in this way, after retiring, he would just be able to quickly save enough energy for the portal, as well as food and shelter, and he didn't have to bother to support himself, but ......

Being a soldier is the risk of war, and there is a risk of dying in a war, and there is no need to take this risk because you have a golden finger.

"It's so unfree, in fact, I plan to start a small business. Ke Mingde finally shook his head.

"Okay, I'll tell you everything, it's our family's turn for this year's military service, and we need someone to serve as a soldier for three years, but there are still so many fields to take care of at home, and I really can't spare anyone...... Besides, our family has already helped you so much, so you can help our family with this!"

Ke Mingde frowned, I am afraid that it is this plan that Abel has made since he took him in, but he is indeed kind to himself, and he should repay them, besides, he has no foundation in Sweetwater Town, and Abel has a relationship with the clerk, if he refuses, I am afraid he will not be able to stay here......

"Mr. Newton, if you go to military service, we will prepare all the bedding and clothes for you, and give you another thirty silver coins!"

"Fifty silver coins, I can think about it. Ke Mingde made a decision and used his negotiation skills.

Abel was a little distressed, but he agreed.

"And how am I going to take your place?"

"My son-in-law is the clerk of Baron Henry......"

Ke Mingde understood in an instant!

"So when am I going to do my military service? and how do I get there?"

"In half a month, someone from York City will come to recruit soldiers, just follow him. ”

After making a good deal, Ke Mingde lived in Abel's house with peace of mind, practiced every day, and the amount of food increased dramatically, and asked Abel's eldest son to build him a long sword and a dagger, and asked Abel's wife to prepare a wide quilt and a blanket.

Everything is ready, after three years, you can pack your bags and return to the earth, then the most important thing is cultivation, a healthy body, a strong physique, no matter where it is, is extremely important, not to mention, the cultivation exercises from the gods, how can it be so simple, if you can live forever, wouldn't it be beautiful!
