Chapter 41: Upgrade Goldfinger Tomorrow
"Mother!" Seeing his mother, who was walking with vague steps, pale face, and red eyes, Lu Sien couldn't sit still for a moment, and a catapult started to support Mrs. Cabas, "Is something wrong?"
In fact, of course, nothing major happened, but Mrs. Cabas, after being shocked by the 50,000 bright gold coins, suddenly felt that the house she had lived in for more than ten years suddenly felt very insecure. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
During the time when Lu Sien was unconscious, Mrs. Cabas, who was in a hurry, could not imagine any place in the house to store and hide the 50,000 gold coins in a short time, Mrs. Cabas had never seen so much gold in her life for so long, stacked on the ground like this, all of which belonged to her.
So, our simple, clumsy, and lovely Mrs. Cabas, stood in the study, well, sat directly on the pile of gold coins, all night, and in the middle of the countless dozing offs.
He also recruited Ford's butler to accompany him to the vigil, and his main duty was, I mean, to wake Mrs. Cabas immediately if she accidentally fell asleep, and to be watched by Mrs. Cabas like a thief all night......
So this night, the worst thing should be Butler Ford, who was like a dog in the sun, forced by the lord's wife to guard the pile of gold coins, and stared at like a thief, and said goodbye countless times in the middle and wanted to leave, but he was not allowed. Although I understand Mrs. Cabas's feelings, this matter is really devastating.
As for the knights, they care about the supreme Grand Master in their hearts, and they don't have time to care about these "little money", I mean, little money.
Besides, Mrs. Cabas, even after Lu Sien woke up, still hoped that Lu Sien would go over to see her, instead of leaving the pile of gold coins under her, and go to the restaurant to meet Lu Sien and have a good bite to eat. It wasn't until the two knights were boldly commanded by Mrs. Cabas, dressed in full plate armor, armed with swords and shields, in front of the door of the study, that they left with a little peace of mind, although as soon as Mrs. Cabas left, the knights instantly unarmed and went to do their own thing.
As for the butler Ford, when the sky was dark, he used the excuse that Lu Sien told him that his work could not be delayed for a moment, and slipped away, deliberately thinking that the group of farmers today would suffer a little more or less.
Finally, back in the living room, Mrs. Cabas was surprised by Lu Sien's calmness, and Lu Sien was also a little at a loss for his mother's reaction.
It took a lot of effort for the boss to chat with his mother slowly, slowly guide his mother, talk about the value of the equipment on the knights, talk about the value of the works of art in the house, and hint that the jujube pits kept sending pots of red wine one by one, and then tricked his mother into drinking it. Finally, after spending most of the morning, my mother, who had been chattering and talking, finally couldn't hold back her sleepiness and fell asleep after drinking a lot of alcohol.
Lu Sien breathed a sigh of relief, snapped his fingers, told the jujube core to clean up his mother's bedroom, and then asked the two knights to carry his mother back to the bedroom.
"Well, wait, Allie, go and get a few thousand of those gold coins and spread them on your mother's bed, so that your mother will probably be calmer when she wakes up." "Although there are some sequelae of back pain, this is the most effective treatment, after all, Lu Sien himself has come over like this, cough cough.
The chores are over for the time being, and Lu Sien can also go to his own territory in his spare time, yo-yo or something. After all, these days, I have been staying at home and studying, and the development of the territory is almost completely handed over to Ford to be in charge. It's empty, so naturally I want to come out and take a look.
Hmm, everything is fine and organized.
Although the weather has warmed up significantly, there is no peculiar smell in the village, it seems very clean, and there are few places that Lu Sien has visited, and it is not easy to compare, but the hygiene of the village is probably comparable to the inner ring of the castle of the former Earl of Blackhoof.
The newly built cowshed was placed in the direction downwind of the village by the housekeeper, and after being tortured several times by Lu Sien, the butler Ford was already obviously jealous of this young master with a habit of cleanliness.
At the end of the spring ploughing, thanks to the blessing of this season of recovery, a dozen cows were pregnant, and they were tethered to the barn while carefully cared for, and the butler Ford had asked Pete to help hire an experienced veterinarian in the city to take care of the cows until they gave birth, well, the official doctor was 50 dinars, and the apprentice was able to get 30 dinars. Well, of course, it is debatable whether the apprentice will be able to get a full share of the remuneration in the hands of the mentor, but Lu Sien can't control these things.
Some of the sturdy bull was taken away and used to transport the stone produced daily by the Rock Advance Base (which was actually the quarry shack, which Lusin had drawn a vulgar name from his brain).
Pete came twice more in the middle, the first time when he was accompanied by the marquis's knights, and Lu Sien arranged for Yuna to be in charge of the reception, and the knights who had been ordered to work with the marquis, either at the marquis's behest, or because of some careful thoughts of their own. After the routine provocation, their purpose was not achieved, so the final amount of this transaction was increased by thirty percent, and the thirty percent price was paid by the knights. In the end, Lu Sien reiterated that Moon's spice deal was only represented by Pete alone, ending the transaction.
The second time, the accompanying knights changed a group of people, and at the same time brought double the iron ingots, and the two sides had a friendly meeting, the marquis hoped that Lu Sien could reduce the price of spices a little, and the marquis was willing to double the monthly shipments, that is, half of the qualified iron ingots produced in the territory each month, for the spice trade with Lu Sien, the price of this spice transaction was determined to eighty percent of the initial transaction price, and since then it has been fixed.
Then the iron materials of the next trade were all made into various agricultural tools by Samun, and the tools were stacked in the public warehouse in the village, and Lu Sien bought Samon's technology at the price of 50 gold coins, and bought the technology of the blacksmith Samon for 200 dinars, and then on the second day, a notice was issued in the village, and the school-age children of all families in the village could go to the blacksmith shop for a three-month blacksmith training, during which the lord would be responsible for the children's rations, and if they made a qualified product, they would also be rewarded with 10% of the value until three months later, the truly gifted ones were identified by Samon as apprentices to blacksmiths, and the rest continued to go home to find their own mothers.
Lu Sien, who was passing by the blacksmith shop, heard Samon's angry scolding from time to time, as well as the screams of children and the sound of tinkling and clanging, Lu Sien nodded with a smile, and it seemed that it was also well executed.
Then I walked out of the village and came to the newly cultivated farmland over there, all kinds of seeds were well sown, and most of the fields clearly saw the green seedlings emerging from the seeds, which was very gratifying, and at present 60% of the labor force in the village was concentrated here for farming. From time to time, people wearing neat and new clothes and working saw Lu Sien in the distance, and couldn't stop bending over their luggage.
According to the agreement between Lu Sien and them, the farmland will be divided into ten parts, two of which will be used as remuneration for the livestock, the wages of the full-time herders, the fodder for the cattle, the maintenance of the cattle shed, and the wear and tear of the use of various agricultural tools. Of course, all this money is still in Lu Sien's hands at present.
The other two were collected as taxes and fees for the later establishment of public facilities and the maintenance of the militia contingent that might arise.
There are also the remaining two, which are the cost of the farmer's ransom to Lu Sien, this fee will last for ten years, after the farmer who cultivates continues to pay Lu Sien ten years of ransom fee, the field will belong to them permanently, and they will also become free people in the territory, of course, even at that time, the twenty percent tax and the cost of using livestock and farm tools are inevitable, if the farmer continues to use it.
Then, the last four portions are the cultivators' own, at their own disposal, and Lu Sien will not bother.
Therefore, six out of ten taxes show how thick-faced and black-hearted Lu Sien is.
The clean village of Moon looks unremarkable, the fields and orchards are busy, the villagers are busy with their work according to the season, both men and cattle seem to be healthy and strong, but some of the fields are still abandoned, and some of the walls seem to be in urgent need of repair, and it seems that the village is not very well manned.
This village belongs to your father, Lord Cabas of the Duchy of Bauhinia.
The people here are eager to support you (41)
So, it looks like you've been doing a good job all this time, boy, and it's a lot better than the last time you did this kind of thing.
There are still quite a lot of things worth complaining about, for example, there is no time to build any orchards in the village now, and there is no egg city wall, and the abandoned fields in the village are naturally the relationship planned by Lu Sien, but it is true that the village is not well manned, and there is no way to refute it at all.
What's more, the last superfluous sentence, since Lu Sien opened the Code of Order for the first time in the morning, Lu Sien was obviously aware that after he finished reading the entire Code of Order, he seemed to have awakened something very strange and familiar to him.
Hiss~ When the word something first appeared in Lu Sien's heart, the order code in his hand suddenly became hot, and Lu Sien's hand burned hard, well, it hurt.
Oh, damn it, I actually forgot, Lu Sien has about a realization in his heart, and he will almost see it tonight, so Lu Sien closed the book in his hand without hesitation.
