Chapter 34: Thoughts
When Leon was done with the last thing, it was dark again. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Now he starts to deal with official business early in the morning, and the time for the day is gone. It's not that the town is so trivial, but there are not many people in the town who are literate, and everything that needs to be recorded has to be done by him himself.
The owner of the grocery store is busy with his own business, but at the same time he is pulled by Leon to take charge of the town's imports. Morris was now busy building the docks, so Leon took the exit and did it himself. In addition to these, he is responsible for recording and solving the progress of various tasks and specific problems encountered.
Leon rubbed his sore brow, sooner or later he would be blind if he continued like this, he muttered to himself. The current administrative hall could not meet his needs at all, and the small, dimly lit space greatly reduced the efficiency of people's work, and Lyon decided to move the administrative hall to the hall tomorrow.
In the past, he thought that there were few things and he could handle it alone, but now he would never think like this, but there is basically no education in the town, and the townspeople are illiterate, how can they be responsible for copywriting.
According to the arrangement, the knights of York will return to the town around tomorrow afternoon, and Leon decides that York is no longer in charge of the training of soldiers, because the patrols are all transferred to repair the docks, and the remaining archers practice Emma's enchanted arrows, and his role is almost invisible, so he still obediently sits in the executive hall to help him deal with official business.
Of course, this will not last forever. When the current work is over, Lyon will build the first school in the town, and the requirements are not too high, just teach a group of people who can read and write.
"Your Highness, it's time for dinner. Riley was dressed in a pale printed shirt with white wool armor on the outside, and if this dress was placed in the royal capital, it would definitely be ridiculed by the noble ladies. But in Ravenwood, how comfortable and how to wear, you don't have to care about other people's eyes.
"Okay, right away. Leon simply tidied up the table, and then left the executive hall with his muscles and bones.
"Is Emma used to moving in?" "Emma moved to the castle yesterday, but there were too few rooms to live with Riley. Fortunately, the castle is still enough now, some time ago the knight of York has been shouting to rebuild the castle was stopped by Leon, if it is expanded now, his prince will be a slap in the face, for the sake of face Leon decided to endure the bitter fruit he planted.
"She should get used to it, the whole person is in a good mood. Riley thought for a moment, and Emma was happy from beginning to end, and found nothing unsatisfactory.
"I mean, are you used to it?" Leon noticed that his words were ambiguous, and Riley happened to misunderstand. This was also forced to do this, and the rooms in the castle were not very spacious, so it might be a bit cramped to sleep two people in a bed that just fits.
"I, I'm fine. Riley didn't expect the prince to ask her, and suddenly he was a little nervous. Emma has a good personality, lively and bold, and gets along well with Riley, and the two of them talked until late at night last night. Riley had been a little lonely since she found out she was a witch, and now she was happy to have Emma as her company.
"Hmm. After the castle is expanded, there should be no such thing. Leon sighed, in addition to dying to save face, the current strength is not able to be greatly expanded, at most it is just tinkering.
Leon wanted to build a castle like he had lived in the royal capital, without the need for opulence and marble. He wanted to make the castle a little higher, preferably with an observation deck, which always made him feel at ease when he looked at it from afar. In addition, he also wanted a spacious and bright study, and the current environment of the Executive Hall was too much to live up to its name.
"Expansion?, but didn't you just say it some time ago...... Riley has a good memory, when the prince and the knight were arguing about whether to rebuild the castle, Riley was on the prince's side after a struggle of ideas, and now the prince wants to expand, which makes her feel a little surprised.
"Not now, it's going to take a long time for this to happen. And don't tell the Knight of York, or he'll be hanging around me all the time. "Leon knew York's style of doing things, and he would definitely take the drawings of the castle and ask him how this and that was, and he would like to build the castle overnight.
"Hmm. Since the prince had commanded, Riley had no choice but to nod, "It is said that Lord York will return tomorrow, so how many poor people will he bring back?"
"I don't know, I hope it's not too little, it's not too much. After the departure from York, Lyon urgently dispatched a group of people to build a simple house near the lumberyard, which was still no problem to shelter from the wind and rain, but the time was limited, and the house could only accommodate a maximum of fifty people.
Leon did not build a house in the town, because in the future he would replan the development of the town, and the current house would have to be demolished and rebuilt. If the poor also lived in the town, there would be more demolition and construction.
"Will these paupers always be paupers?" Riley knew that the status of paupers was worse than that of villagers outside the town, and it was too difficult for them to turn over. Now coming to the town, it is not like the city, there are no poor people in the town, and their identity is a little awkward.
"For now, as long as they are willing to work diligently, I am willing to give them the status of a townman. "Leon will not give them a new identity as soon as he comes, he has lived in the shadows of the city for a long time, many people have forgotten how to be an ordinary person, as long as they are willing to reform themselves, Leon is still willing to accept it, and if they do evil, Leon will not be relentless.
The town is like a paradise, and although life here is hard, everyone maintains a kind heart. In the year Leon arrived, he had not received a single theft or robbery, the only thing that alarmed him was the discovery of the witch Riley in the town, and other than that, it was normal for the neighbors to be noisy.
This is a peaceful life that Lyon does not allow to be destroyed. Even if he is in dire need of labor to drive development, he doesn't want to see such a person appear.
"Your Highness, what do you think will happen to the town in the future?" Riley asked thoughtfully, pausing in his footsteps. She knew that the prince would not be satisfied with the development in front of him, but she didn't know what the big city was like, she had lived in the town since she was a child, and she had never even been to White Mist City, so she couldn't imagine what the town would look like in the future.
"At least it's better than White Mist City. "Leon is right, not about the size. White Mist City has developed for hundreds of years to get to where it is today, and he doesn't expect to surpass it, at least in terms of the living standards of the townspeople.
"White Mist City. Riley imagined with the staccato speech of the grocery store owner.
