Chapter 10 I am a villager, and I bring salt for myself

"Why did you come back all of a sudden?" After taking control of the field, Mrs. Cabas suddenly asked Lu Sien, "Didn't Lord Moen say that it would take two years to become a knight squire when he sent someone to collect your training fees a few days ago?"

"What?" was shocked, almost choking Lu Sien to death who swallowed food, "How many did they take away?"

"Two hundred dinars a year......," replied Mrs. Cabas, who had been paying two-thirds of the year's taxes for them before. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Besides, because of the bandits, this year's taxes have not been collected.

"That **** old bastard dares to do this?" Lu Sien almost flipped the table, ouch, my temper!

"What's the matter, Lu Sien, what's going on, Count Morn is your father's lord. The Lady was taken aback by Lu Sien's overreaction.

"He didn't deserve it! I didn't learn anything for five years but to brush the horses and oil his obsolete armor! I didn't sleep anywhere but the stables, and he had kicked me out of the castle two years ago. Damn, this despicable bastard, what does he dare to do now, who gave him the guts?" Lu Sien's face was gloomy and a little terrifying, and even the villain next to him had tears in his eyes for a while.

"What?" the cruel reality caught the honest lady at a loss, and when she handed over the coin to the swaggering clerk with hope, she had no idea that human nature could be so dark and ugly. "So, what about them?"

"This is a grace from a god...... Lu Sien's emotions calmed down for a moment. Yes, looking at everything I have now, how can I still set my eyes on such a humble traitor, my stage, at least in a more distant place.

However, what I owe me, I will take it back sooner or later, Xi Fan has been a person who does not take revenge overnight since he was a child, and it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years or something, it is all something he uses to educate others.

As far as he is concerned, he is definitely the kind of person who holds grudges and is sure to take revenge, and Lu Sien is the character he founded, and the lords who used to blow their beards and glare at him have been driven out of Pande forever. After an adventurous hero encouraged his knights to challenge his authority, the adventurous organization on the continent of Pander was almost extinct. When he was young, he once had the experience of being shot in the head by bandits, and he dared to take two or three hundred knights to drive those bandit gangs of five or six people all over the map.

God knows what the exact history is, but in Rusen's memory, there was a figure of him running a few steps in front of his horse, exhausted and dying. In Pande's history books, it is recorded that he was a hero, a great emperor, and that he was an invincible knight, but there is never a word to describe him as a broad-minded. Under the influence of these two souls, Lu Sien's character can be seen.

The next meal was more dull, and the little Lori who felt the depressed atmosphere tried to make herself look well-behaved. The mother began to worry a little about her father on the battlefield, and the knights were overwhelmed by the anger and powerlessness of the commander.

"Mother. After thinking quietly for a while, Lu Sien sorted out his thoughts and slowly spoke.

"Well, what?" said the Lordess, who had come to her senses, looked nervously at her son, who had just been furious.

"It's nothing, I just want to ask, can I make the decision on the affairs of the territory?" Lu Sien asked with some apprehension.

"Oh, you say that, no problem, until your brother and father return, this territory will follow your will. "In front of everyone, this is quite a formal mandate. "Ask Ford specifically. ”

"Thank you, Mother. Lu Sien thanked him sincerely, turned to look at Ford, the old butler who had been serving on the side, and considered the wording, "Uncle Ford......"

"The old servant can't afford to be called the young master now, so the young master will just call me by my name in the future. The old steward interrupted Lu Sien with a bow, and bent very low.

"Hmm, I understand, so, Ford, how much do you know about the situation on our territory?" Without dwelling on small issues, Lu Sien determined his position in a moment and asked his core question.

"Well, very clearly, young master, do you need to report it to you now?" replied the old steward humbly.

"Well, the more detailed, the better. ”

"There are a total of 109 households in the territory, a total of 374 people, all of them are farmers belonging to the young master's family, there are no free people, after the lord leaves, there will be no commercial tax and toll tax on the territory. The annual land tax revenue is 298 dinars and 5 lims, which have not been collected this year, and the rest of the property is the mill in the manor and the two cows in the stables. ”

"Well, I pretty much get it. "Alas, fortunately, I didn't expect too much from him, so let's make do with it. "I hope you will go to the village at once, and call everyone to the clearing in front of the manor, I have something to announce!"

"Yes!" Ford was about to leave, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke: "Forgive me, young master, if you ask the farmers to pay this year's land tax, they may not be able to meet your request ideally after being crushed by the robbers once!"

"I know, go ahead. Lu Sien didn't explain anything more. "Oh, by the way, you haven't eaten since the day, so let's go to the kitchen and eat something, Carly should have a lot to eat. During this time, I will be wronged first. ”

"Yes!" this time Ford didn't say anything more, and bowed away.

As the hour passed quickly, as it approached four o'clock in the afternoon, the maid's footsteps weaved through the room, informing everyone that dinner was ready.

It's a bit early, although they are nominally nobles, everyone in the manor can barely maintain the standard of two meals a day, and the villagers outside only have one meal a day. Then, after dinner, when the body is most energetic, while the sun has not yet set, you can do some more work. There's not enough people in this barren place

......

"Master Lu Sien, did you call us over for something?" No one else stepped forward, at the gate of Moon Manor, only the old rabbi came up to deal with Lu Sien with a smiling face. "If it's this year's poll tax, you've seen the situation, and I ask you to give us some relief, and everyone will appreciate your kindness. ”

"Well, I'm not a master yet, you can call me Young Master Lu Sien like them, or you can call me Sir Lu Sien (no characteristics, just a descendant of a nobleman). May I know who is adding to my family's dinner today?" there was no high platform suitable for speaking, and Lu Sien, who came out on horseback, did not pick up the old rabbi's words.

"Oh, oh. The rabbi hurriedly turned back, "Ruby, Vins, hurry up, Lord Lord is going to summon you." He didn't listen to Lu Sien's words at all, but Lu Sien didn't bother to correct it.

"Old, old man......" Wearing felt hats, the two men who looked obviously stronger also moved in front of Lu Sien in a restrained manner, not even having the courage to raise their heads to look at him, but just said to himself, "Thank you for driving out that gang of robbers and protecting my family." ”

Alas, forget it, too lazy to correct it, these mud legs can't tell the difference, go straight to the topic.

"Well, I'm very happy with what you sent, and this is my return gift. Lu Sien gestured casually, and Matthew and Mal Hum each came out with a large piece of beef that weighed about a dozen pounds. The effect of causing a sensation among the crowd. The eyes of the people around him were different in an instant, shocked, incredulous, envious, and more jealous.

"Oh, by the way, old rabbi, you have a piece too. ”

"What? Do I have it too?" said the old rabbi with the same surprise on his face as the two Orion men.

"Hmm, do you want it too?" the atmosphere was almost as loud as Lu Sien continued to speak to the chattering villagers.

The crowd immediately fell silent, and no one responded. But it doesn't matter, and no one refuses, does it?

Of course, meat was the food of the nobility, and it was not eaten by anyone but those who carried weapons and those of noble blood, as well as servants who served the gods. But it's still hard to refuse, who hasn't caught fish in a mud pond or picked a rabbit's nest in the grass when they were young?

"Mom, I want to ......" The first voice that came out was supposed to be a child, but it seemed that his mouth was covered before he could say anything.

"Shut up!" was secretly taught, can the master's things be so easy to take?

"I'm calling you here today because I want to make a deal with the guys. Someone behind him lifted out a box again, and it was piled up with pieces of beef. Lu Sien continued, "As long as you go home and bring salt in exchange, you can exchange it for twenty times the size of beef. Each household can exchange up to three pieces, the number is limited, first come, first served......"

I don't believe any of you can bear it. Lu Sien looked at the dense heads in front of him with a calm face, and easily distinguished the gradually heavy wheezing sound in the crowd, I don't know who was the first to pull out his legs and run towards the house, and then all the adults moved, and in a moment, there was only a bunch of children in front of him who had not yet reacted with bare butts and balls at a loss.

Who said these mud-legged stupid and demented people? Stand up! I promise not to shoot you!

The evening of this day is a great day worth remembering for the Moon Lord, which can probably be summed up as the movement of the lord to bring salt for himself has been vigorously launched. Everyone was very happy with the final result.

Lu Sien was given enough salt, and every villager felt that he had earned nearly 30 pounds of beef for himself by running with all his might, and he did not suffer much compared to the others. There is also Samon, a blacksmith who runs a grocery store and blacksmith business with a desperately small number of goods, and in addition to the same beef as everyone else, the salt stored in the store is sold at a price of 20% higher than usual.

Your relationship with the village of Moon has gone up.

The local residents are looking at you in a friendly way (23)

Sure enough, food is justice!

......

"Well, okay, let's put all of this stuff in. There was no one else in front of him, and the afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on Lu Sien's body, turning the horse's head, Lu Sien continued to command: "All the things are moved to the kitchen." ”

"Come on, the salt is enough now, you go to the kitchen tonight to help, and follow Carly to choose the meat for the remaining two days, and salt all the rest, and tomorrow it will all be made into air-dried meat and hung up." ”

"Don't worry, I have prepared enough lamp oil for you, and the jujube pit will also help you. I'll go and rest first!"

After exercising all evil class privileges and oppressing the simple working people, he yawned irresponsibly, and returned to the house after being assigned a job.

It's been a really tiring day.

......

However, he did not have the successful rest as he wished.

After nightfall, Lusin and his knights lit a bonfire in the courtyard of the manor, formed a circle, and began to bake the quilts.

As the temperature rises, bed bugs and fleas fall from the quilt and crackle into the fire, wafting a smell of burnt protein. Lu Sien recalled the quilt full of the smell of mite corpses after the sun exposure in the world that traveled through countless latitudes.

The smell of the quilt in that state, even though it is just the smell of the explosion of the corpse of a bug, there is also a very beautiful sentence to embellish in that world.

Oh, it's full of sunshine.

Hehe.

It is customary to ask for recommendations and collections
