Chapter 118: Heavy snow is coming
In the year 756 of the Holy Spirit Empire, early winter. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The day after Her Royal Highness the Fourth Princess arrived in Yuanxin City.
In the early morning of this day, there was a heavy fog on the central sea, and there was fog and frost everywhere. In the eye, it is hazy.
Standing on the small town in the center of the circle on the coast, across the center of the circle in the sea, looking forward, I vaguely saw the vague outline of the center of the water city under the willow of the huge towering tree.
Haiman Province, Yuanxin Water City, Lord's Mansion.
William, who had not slept all night, got up early, washed up, ate breakfast, and came to the study.
With a faint pair of dark circles under his eyes, he casually took a few documents on the desk, looked through them carefully, and then used the quill pen in his hand to review and revise them.
These documents, the contents on them, are all important issues that have been carefully selected by Crean and Dodora.
In fact, being a good lord doesn't require you to be very shrewd and competent, to take care of everything yourself, and to handle everything in a well-organized manner.
If you do this, you will only look very stupid, and you will exhaust yourself to death.
Human energy is finite and cannot be endless. Just because you can do 10 things a day doesn't mean you can do 100 things a day.
All you have to do is check the general direction. Let the professionals do the rest.
This is the importance of division of labor and cooperation.
William was inhabited by two souls that dissolved into each other, and the memories of his past life made him understand this even more.
He greatly delegated power to his henchmen, that is, he single-handedly cultivated Crean, and Dodora, who had managed Sunset Town on his behalf and had rich experience.
For example, such a trivial matter: the west of Shuicheng City is located in a cross street with a large number of people, and it is necessary to set up a security station to maintain local law and order;
In the east of Shuicheng City, on the edge of a deep water alley, the street is very slippery, and it is necessary to add railings to prevent passers-by from slipping and falling into the water.
And so on and so forth.
These are trivial matters, and after the two of them send soldiers to deal with them, they can at most write a report and give it to William for review.
What really needs to be dealt with by William himself are some of the more important things.
It's like now, a proposal for the purchase of grain appeared in front of William.
Unlike other places, there are many tributaries and mountains, but there are few plains, and it is difficult to grow food.
In this world, the staple food of the aristocracy is mostly beef, mutton, animal meat and other meats. The staple food of civilians is the food grown in the fields.
Originally, this problem was not a big problem, and the staple food of the population in Haiman Province was not food, but fish.
But now that winter has arrived, a large number of fish have left the province and swam to the sea in search of suitable waters for the winter.
The fish need to survive the winter, swim away, and the sea floods the province and becomes difficult to fish.
Winter is coming, and all kinds of wild beasts in the mountains of Haimanxing Province are also dormant one after another, and it is difficult to hunt.
At this time, there is nothing to eat, so I can only buy it from other provinces.
There is no doubt that this is an important question. The sooner it is dealt with, the better.
In the study, William put down the quill in his hand, held the proposal document in one hand, and pondered quietly.
He thought about it for a long time, his expression was focused, and he didn't even notice that the fourth princess was coming.
The fourth princess looked very well-behaved.
She stood quietly to the side, not bothering William.
When William looked at a few more relevant food price lists, he finally made a decision in his heart, and when he put pen to paper, he wrote quickly.
When the matter was settled, William noticed that there was an extra cup of steaming coffee on the side of the desk.
"Your Royal Highness, how long have you been here?"
William glanced at the fourth princess and said with a little surprise.
"It didn't take long. When the fourth princess heard this, she smiled sweetly, "Teacher, I'm going to leave the day after tomorrow." Leave Haiman Province and return to the imperial capital of Canaan Province. ā
"So fast?" said William, stunned.
The fourth princess nodded, with a hint of reluctance in her eyes: "I see that the weather has been getting worse and worse recently, and there are large patches of fog and frost on the sea. Teacher, I'm afraid it's going to snow here. If you don't go the day after tomorrow, the snow will cover the mountain, and the way back will be even more difficult. ā
The fourth princess said, and suddenly smiled mischievously, "Teacher, after I return to the imperial capital, I will say good things for the teacher!"
William listened and laughed.
He put one hand on the top of the fourth princess's head, like a child, and said with a smile: "Since this is the case, then this afternoon, I will take you to have a good visit to the water city!"
The four princesses nodded again and again.
In the afternoon, William fulfilled his promise.
He took His Royal Highness the Four Princesses, and the two of them took a boat together, and traveled all over the entire Water City, and also visited the four large commercial streets of the Water City: Qinglong, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Xuanwu.
Here, there are many novelties that the four princesses have never seen before, let alone come into contact with.
Barbie dolls and quirky Superman models for children, skateboards that glide on the ground, bicycles on two wheels, and grand pianos and violins that the aristocratic lords like to display at home.
There are so many new and quirky and interesting things, and there are so many different kinds of goods.
Her Royal Highness the Fourth Princess was overwhelmed, and William always reminded him with a smile: "These works, the teacher has participated in the design!"
When the fourth princess heard this, she always smiled sweetly, and praised without hesitation: "The teacher is amazing!"
After a few words, even William felt that he was a little thick-skinned, so he simply accepted the teasing words and played the role of a 'tour guide' with peace of mind.
When passing by a large clothing city called 'Century Hundred Clothes', William personally took the four princesses and walked in.
As soon as you enter, the first thing you see is a clean and empty hall.
In the center of the hall, a spiral wooden staircase winds its way up to the second, third, and fourth floors of the century.
William took His Royal Highness the Fourth Princess and was about to go upstairs to buy some beautiful clothes for him, when a pig-headed man, known as the most ignorant and ignorant of the orc branch, stood in front of William and the two.
It had a fat head and big ears, a pair of round gold-rimmed glasses hanging from its long nostrils, a mid-haired hairstyle, a blue aristocratic robe, and a delicate little abacus under its armpit.
Looking at William and the two, the pig-headed man grinned, revealing a mouth full of inlaid gold teeth, and said an authentic Holy Spirit Emperor Chinese: "Two distinguished guests, do you need to buy something from my small shop?" Our store has just launched several new bikini sets. Men wear a tall and slim fit, and women wear it, and they can also show their curvy beauty. ā
"Bikini suits? ā
When William heard this, his face turned dark, and he was about to leave with the fourth princess. (To be continued.) )
