Through the square area, you will arrive at the commercial street of Pinghu Town, both sides of the street are three-storey blue brick buildings, the ground floor is a shop, and the upper floor can be used as a warehouse for both people and Pinghu Town. However, although the houses on the street are imposing and beautiful, there are not many shops that open their doors, there are only three grocery stores, two inns and a tavern, and all of them are very modest in business.

The first shop in the north and south of the street is the Goat Hotel, which has three floors, the ground floor serves ordinary drinks and meat, the second floor operates a high-end restaurant, and the top floor is the guest rooms of the hotel.

Pushing open the heavy iron oak door, there was a noise and noise, dozens of butter candles lit up the spacious hall, half of the dozen tables were full, and the aroma of wine and meat accompanied by the smell of sweat made Alda and others itch.

The purple cane wine and pig's head meat served on the ground floor of the goat inn are of high quality and low price, and are favored by free workers. It is said that several partners of the Goat Hotel are the real vassal lords of Randall, with a deep background, like to be lively, and don't care about how much they earn, and those free people who are good at drilling camps always want to be familiar in front of the vassals, and often bring people to cheer, and over time, this has become the best store in the trade street. However, the vassals only meet on the second floor, and the things on it are not affordable for ordinary people, but it is rumored that the food sold on the second floor is all delicious dishes cooked by the chef of the small canteen, and the small canteen is where the lord feasts and dignitaries!

Eating in the small cafeteria, Alda did not dare to have extravagant expectations, but he felt that climbing to the second floor was his goal.

After staring at the staircase leading to the upper floor for a moment, Alda and the others found an empty table and sat down. The guy from the inn came over and asked, "What do you want?"

"Half a portion of the pig's head....... no! a whole portion!" Carey shouted impatiently.

"Two whole servings! Five more sweet potato porridge and a plate of lettuce. Alda said in a deep voice.

Carey was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "You are generous....."

Half of the goat's head meat weighs three pounds and sells for eight copper cords, the whole portion is six pounds and 15 copper cords, two servings of sweet potato porridge sell for one copper cord, and a large plate of lettuce sells for half a copper sool. In total, these things at Arda Point cost 33 copper soles, which is about two and a half days' wages.

Randall paid less than half the wages of the other families. Alda's family of 7 people earns 14 copper soles a day when he goes to work, one of his two women earns 6 copper soles a day in a textile workshop, the other works on a wild boar farm for 4 copper soles a day, and the four children can also earn 1 copper soles a day when they are outside collecting firewood, cow dung, and digging wild vegetables. The family's daily income is a meagre 25 copper cords.

However, the Randall family provides food that is particularly cheap, and the benefits here are unprecedented for other families.

Needless to say, rent-free housing, a hired worker can enjoy a free lunch every day, a hired worker like Alda, who does heavy physical work, can eat fatty pork every three days, and his children under the age of 15 receive a ground lizard egg every day, and the church also provides one ground lizard to a free man family every month. The freedfolk family spent only 2 copper soles on breakfast and dinner every day, and 4 copper soles at most in the evening. In this way, Alda's family can save 19 copper soles a day, and working in other territories, it is very good to be able to save 12 copper soles.

Despite this, freedmen are still reluctant to spend money on food and drink, and some families do not even eat breakfast. Since Randall's brick kiln required a large amount of firewood, freedfolk hired workers were forbidden to cook in groups, and had to spend money on food prepared in the large canteen. In order to save money, free families generally agreed to solve the problem of dinner.

Alda, these people and Carey have a relationship with the meal. The Carey family was one of the first free families to enter Randall's territory to make a living, and they had their own land that was the envy of Alda and others! The Carey family of 11 people had a total of 1 mu and 1 share of their own land, and they grew so many vegetables that they could not eat them all, and the remaining part could only be sold to the big canteen at a low price. When the latecomers entered the Randall Territory, these self-cultivated families had a new choice, they bought sweet potato porridge from the big canteen and sold it to the latecomers, of course, the vegetables were raw, but Alda and the others found that the dinner provided by Kaili was cheaper than the big canteen 1 copper sol, so the two sides hit it off, and the steward of the big canteen ignored this kind of thing, so Alda and his gang became acquaintances and friends with Kairi.

When the juice is dripping and the steaming pork head meat is served on the table, everyone can't help but roll their throats and saliva is overflowing. Since they are acquaintances and friends, there is no need to be polite, and a few people threw off their arms and chewed.

After drinking a large pot of hot sweet potato porridge, Alda wiped the sweat from her face and said, "Kairi, I want to borrow some money from you." ”

Carey, who was biting the pig's ear, was startled, swallowed the food in his mouth with difficulty, and muttered, "Uh, I know that you have a treat, it must be no good..... why do you want to borrow money?"

"I've been wandering for more than ten years, and I've never seen such a nice place......" Alda let out a sigh and said sullenly, "I don't want to run anymore...... I want to make a home in Randall. ”

The exhaustion revealed in the words made Alda's companion fall silent, but Carey said with a twinkle in his eyes: "Then Anbei, you have been here for three years, how can you be a leader." When the time comes, rent 80 acres of land and take 30% of the harvest, and the life of the family will definitely be better. ”

"You know what I mean!" Alda stared into Kairi's eyes and said: "30 gold soles to build a house, I still have 4 gold soles, you can help me, as long as I am selected, become a steward or soldier, I promise to pay you back 6 gold soles within two years!"

"You're crazy!" Carey looked left and right, and said in a low voice, "This is the Pioneer Leader! You haven't seen Ant-Man's power...... Throwing money here is like throwing it in the water! Besides, don't you have a brick house to live in?"

Alda asked in a deep voice, "In a word, can you help me with this?!"

"No money!"

Carey turned his face aside, Alda shook his head lonely, and Alvin couldn't help choking up: "Head, it's all my fault for getting into trouble in Vistock and causing you ......" said, he pointed at Carey and scolded: "Carey, you ungrateful two-legged sheep, a few days ago, your wealth was exposed, if it wasn't for the head to help you drive away those villains, you would have been buried!"

"Head, don't ask for him! I've got 20 silver soles here, give them all!"

"Yes, big guys, my 13 silver soles. ”

The disgusted gazes of several people made Carey's face turn pale and pale, and he had a heart attack, but seeing that Alda was as strong as a bull and pressed down again, he smiled bitterly: "It's not that I don't help...... Is it really worth it! Is there a reason for freemen to spend money to build houses?"

"I'll tell you the truth! My father has a very good relationship with the head of the second village, George, a few days ago, the head of the village found my father and asked him to fund the construction of a house, but my father fooled him. My dad said that whoever spends money to build a house is a fool!"

"You think, 30 gold soles is not a small amount, but it costs so much to build a brick house? There are rumors that Father Miller will guarantee a refund, but who knows if it's true or not?"

"The family steward and the family soldier are not from vassals! When will such a good thing come to the free people? This can also be believed! And you have built a house, and you have not kept any land for yourself! That is, you catch two wild boars a year, so how many years will it take to raise the pigs to return to their capital? I think this is cheating money!"

Seeing the shocked looks of the Elwin and the others, Carey said proudly: "It's still my father's thoughtfulness, this money can't be cheated by the noble lord! In case Ant-Man comes again, our family will run away quickly, if Ant-Man is blocked, we don't have to spend money to build a house, and we will still be a leader in two years?"

A pariah is a pariah! There is no knowledge! Alda sneered in her heart.

It is true that Alda is a free people, but no one knows that he is actually the second son of a vassal family in the Kingdom of Dodor, and he has been educated as a vassal since he was a child and is an elite soldier. If it weren't for the Sasanians who broke through his family's estate, Alda wouldn't have ended up in the Centaur Hills.

In Alda's view, there are plenty of opportunities to get ahead by joining a new family like Randall, and the new family attaches great importance to rules and credibility. Those scoundrels still do things according to the rules of the free people, and they are not to be hanged. The notice of building a house has been posted, and there is no need to have any suspicion that Viscount Randall has a fire paint seal on it! In addition, 600 places are 600 lord families, and Randall Territory will never let everyone become family lords, and the Carey family is simply on a dead end if they refuse the invitation of the village chief.

Alda is proficient in martial arts and can skillfully use all kinds of weapons, and he is not willing to be a leader of the outcasts. In fact, the fate of the leaders of the outcasts is often to the death, and on several occasions Alda has thrown out the outcasts and only brought a few die-hard brothers around to make a living.

"What if Randall is a pioneer leader? If there is a chance to become a vassal, most people will risk their lives, and if they can't seize such an opportunity, it would be stupid! Unfortunately, I don't have the money to ......" Alda sighed in her heart and said lightly: "Forget it, I'll find another way." ”

Carey breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't want to lose Arda's patrons, the family with their own land was not their family.

That's when a voice interjected.

"I'll lend it to you!"

Everyone looked in the direction from which the voice came, and found that the two guests at the next table had stood up, one was strong and strong, and the other was thin and small. It was the thin young man who spoke, and he looked very kind with a warm smile on his face, but Carey and the others trembled as if they had seen a ghost.

Three days ago, the same young man hanged a dozen prisoners with his own hands, and his smile was exactly the same as it is now.

"What's your name?" asked the young man as he walked up to Alda.

Alda hurriedly stood up and said respectfully, "Lord Sheriff, I, Arda, am an outcast from Duoduo. ”

The young man looked at Alda's burly and muscular body, and then at the calluses on his fingers, which were not the marks of manual work, but the cocoons that had been formed by years of archery.

"You should know me. The young man said enthusiastically, "But I still have to introduce myself, I am the sheriff of Viscount Randall, Munk. ”

Alda hurriedly bowed, and the monkey patted him on the shoulder, signaling that he didn't need to be polite, "You want to build a house and move into the house, but you don't have to pay for it, it's okay, I can lend it to you." However, when selecting a steward, you have to choose to be a soldier in the police station. How?"

"Lord Munk, if you are willing to lend me money, I will 。。。。。 ”

When Alda was excited, a powerful voice came from the position of the staircase.

"Monkey, your lord has an order, and the family recruits stewards and soldiers are all in charge of the lady! When will it be your turn to intervene?"

Seeing Nelson coming over with a group of war bear mercenaries, the monkey suddenly secretly cried out.

The soldiers who remained at Linda's post were all disrespectful to the new sheriff, which didn't matter to the monkeys. But he did not forget Victor's command, the freedmen should be in charge, and the vassals should also be in charge.

Subduing the freedmen, the monkey is at ease, but it is not so easy to oversee the vassals. The monkey felt that none of the security soldiers from the vassal families could be used, and he needed to find new manpower. These days, monkey soaking in goat lodges is like looking for a few available people. He didn't expect that as soon as he took a fancy to one, Nelson would intervene.

The monkey soaked in the goat inn every day, how could Nelson not know? Although Nelson was on the second floor, he could clearly hear the movements downstairs based on his perception after cultivating the spirit monkey secret form.

Nelson didn't look down on the monkey and didn't trust him. Nelson felt the need to keep an eye on the monkey point, so he did something for the ombudsman's wife. Therefore, the monkey was recruiting manpower, and Nelson immediately came down, but when he saw Alda, he couldn't help but warm his eyes. From Nelson's eyes, it is not difficult to find that Arda has received strict military training, extraordinary skills, and skilled martial arts.

Nelson had the same problem as Monkey, and was also short of manpower, and he decided to recruit the man into the convoy at the first sight of Alda, a mercenary to be exact.

Victor refers to the Helper Soldiers as the Randall Family Mercenaries. It's not a mercenary, it's a mercenary!Nelson couldn't figure out the difference, but he thought it was right to listen to Lord Victor!

"Alda, huh, you want to be mercenaries, I will lend you how much money you don't need to build a house!" Nelson patted his chest and said, "Whether you are a steward or a soldier is all voluntary, and in the end, it is up to Lady Lilia to decide whether you can use you, and no one else can interfere!"

Nelson turned to the monkey and said playfully, "Right, Sheriff Munch?"

As long as people are not poached by you, they will always fall into my hands! Lady Lilia is my own sister!

"Lord Nelson, why are you here?" said the monkey respectfully.

Damn, I interfere in recruiting people and call them bad rules, why should you rob people?

Nelson smirked, "The Goat Hotel is a business run by a few of my old buddies, so of course I'm here." ”

This is my territory, and I am in charge of my territory, and I want to dig people here...... Roll the calves for me!

The monkey looked around at the silent freeman hired in the hall and said with a smile: "This business is really good, I plan to get some light with Boss John and open a monkey hotel opposite." ”

I'm a sheriff, who of these freemen hired men would dare not give me face? I'm a monkey, I'm shameless, you bite me?

Nelson laughed, "On the day you opened, the purple cane wine in the Goat Hotel was sold at half price, and the pig's head meat was half price!"

I have a lot of money, you fight with me?

The monkey's face changed, and he said curtly: "I'll go first, let's talk about the opening of the store when the adults come back, right?"

We'll find an adult to judge.

"Okay! ”

The monkey walked away with Hamil, and Nelson laughed heartily, feeling that it was better to defeat the villain who had calculated himself than to defeat the knight.
