Chapter 38: A Turning Point
"I know you may wonder how you can take advantage of your chances, it's as simple as working hard and following the rules of the town. www.biquge.info"Leon began to explain the rules, and the two simple conditions were the core content.
Serious work is necessary, the work they will do is dangerous, and if they are not careful, they will cause injuries, and the townspeople have been injured every day, big and small, and they will definitely get worse at first. Although there is treatment from Riley, you can't just ignore safety just because someone is treating you. After that, there were more and more people, and Riley alone could not take care of so many wounded.
Secondly, you need to work hard, and Lyon has borrowed the principle of more work and more reward, if you want to get more, you need to pay more. If they want to get rid of poverty, they need to prove that they have enough ability, and they can't support themselves, how to become a member of the town.
In addition, the rules of the town are not only issued to the townspeople, they still have to obey. They had been defeated by life before and may have done something they shouldn't have done, but Leon didn't intend to get to the bottom and didn't have enough ability to figure it out, as long as they started over in the town, Leon was willing to identify with them.
"Your Highness, I can do everything you say, but my little sister is only ten years old this year, can I keep her. A young man standing in the front row asked pleadingly.
He is Chris, after escaping to the ship that night, the little sister's condition gradually deteriorated, but fortunately, the Yorkie Knight provided medicine and warm bed quilts in time, and she slowly showed signs of improvement, and now she is still resting on the ship, and did not follow everyone off the ship.
At first, Chris thinks the town lord is a human trafficker, but he learns from the knight that this is not the case. Just now, he also looked around for a while, and saw the piles of wood and ore on the ground in the distance, and from time to time there were people carrying ore on their backs to dump it, and his heart finally settled down.
The prince's request was not difficult for him, and he learned from the knight that their work would be mining and logging, but the younger sister was too young to work, and if the prince wanted to drive her away, Chris would not stay.
Leon had just heard that there were six people on the ship who could not do heavy work, and that the girl must be one of them, and he replied: "As long as it is not against the rules, it is up to you whether she can stay or not, and as long as you can support her, I will not interfere." ”
This sentence is not only said to him, but also to other people, if you want to keep your loved ones by your side, you have to work harder than others.
"Thank you, Your Royal Highness. Chris said gratefully that this is undoubtedly good news.
The temporary house built this time can accommodate up to 50 people, and now it is just enough, Leon sweats in his heart, and he can't live in it anymore.
As for how to allocate the houses and explain the rules of the town, Lyon has arranged for someone to do this, and after the initial communication, Lyon has asked them to go to the residential area and start tidying up the rooms.
The temporary house is not one room per household, but is modeled after a dormitory, with eight people per room. The bed inside is not separate, but is made up of several planks stitched together, on which four people can sleep.
The poor began to move towards their new homes.
Chris ran to York's side to thank him again, and this trip not only saved his little sister but also saved himself.
"You'll settle down well, I can't guarantee the rest, but the town must be better than the slums. "York Knight and Chris have become a little acquainted after a few days of communication.
"Hmm. Why aren't you so upset, did we come to the town to embarrass you?" Chris saw that there was not much smile on York's face, and the only smile he had was forced out.
York and Chris have known each other for a few days, but not to the point of revealing their true purpose. The Yorkist knight's statement has always been that the prince sent him to White Mist City to buy food, and there was no plan to recruit workers, and he did not drive them down halfway, but brought them back to the town, which may not have made the prince very happy.
"No, if the prince is not pleased, will you stay?" said York, who was still keeping a secret, and could not tell him about it.
"Is there anything you have a problem with, and if there's anything I can do to help, please let me know. "Chris doesn't plan to ask about the specific situation, his identity is not suitable for knowing some confidential things, if he continues to ask, not only will it not help, but it can also make the knight quite difficult.
York's encounter was not a problem, but a temporary one. It will be solved naturally after a few days, so there is no need for help, and others can't help.
"It's not difficult, it's just that I'll have to face a lot of parchment rolls every day. "York still doesn't have much energy, he likes to shoot arrows on the training ground, he likes to gallop on horses, he likes to teach the martial arts he has learned to others, he just doesn't like to sit at the table and write, and he feels uncomfortable sitting still all day.
Before the discovery of the mine, the prince rarely went to the administrative office to work, he didn't think there was much of a problem, after the discovery of the mine, the prince's affairs began to increase, sometimes he stayed in it all day, except for reporting the situation, York was basically far away, staying in that kind of place, it felt uncomfortable to think about it.
"I used to have to deal with a lot of things every day, which was a bit of a headache, but I had to do this kind of thing unless I didn't care about it. "When Chris used to do business in White Mist City, although there were not many things, he still had to record a lot of things every day, sometimes he was too busy and made a mistake in writing a number, and finally had to comb it all over again, and it was really helpless to encounter such a problem, but fortunately, there were not many things recorded, and it didn't take much effort to recomb.
"Oh, yes. "If he had a choice, York would have wanted to leave it alone, and this kind of writing work was not for him.
"Wait, you said you've faced it before, what do you do?" York found that there was a sentence that seemed a bit problematic and worth digging into.
Chris didn't notice anything wrong, and said simply: "I used to do business in White Mist City, and then I was reduced to a pauper because of the forcible occupation of my business. ”
York thought that Chris had always been a pauper, so he didn't ask him about his past identity, and Chris himself didn't mention much about the past, which led to the current scene.
"So you're literate?" York's tone quickened, and if he was really literate, he might be able to recommend it to the prince, and he might be freed.
"Yes, there is no problem with reading and writing. Chris didn't know why he asked, but he answered honestly.
"Chris, I have decided to introduce you to His Royal Highness the Prince. The flame of hope burned in York's heart, and it was a big pie that fell on him.
Chris was at a loss, did I do something?
