Chapter 16 Settlement in Sisang
Iniesta was overwhelmed by Meng Yang's momentum, paused for a moment, and said with a reluctant smile: "Where, if Your Excellency thinks that it is inappropriate to do this, we can draw up a separate contract, and it is not impossible for us to cooperate with each other on an equal footing." I respect you, so respect any decision you make. ”
"Okay, my lord is so righteous, how can Meng Yang not know what is good or bad? Then the matter of the identity document is to worry about Lord Lao, I am now officially a subject under your jurisdiction, if your lord needs it, just look for me. I'm going to buy a house in Si Sang Castle to settle down, recuperate from my injuries, and try to cultivate my fighting spirit by the way, I wonder if you know where there are idle houses for sale?" Meng Yang said happily.
Iniesta was a little stunned, and said, "Your Excellency, what about the contract?"
Meng Yang said disapprerovingly: "After I draw up the contract, I will ask the servant to send it to the adult for the purpose, the adult can rest assured." ”
Iniesta's eyes lit up and he looked at Kari, who thought for a moment and said, "There is a house in the Lusen family on West Street that is idle, and the adults may wish to ask the housekeeper to ask on their behalf to see if the Lusen family has any intention of selling." It is very close to the Lord's Palace, and it will be much easier for adults to find His Excellency Meng Yang to do things in the future. Besides, His Excellency Meng Yang is a real nobleman, and ordinary mansions are not worthy of his status. I think that place fits perfectly. ”
"Then it's up to Master Lao to arrange it. Meng Yang hurriedly thanked.
So, the four people at the table pushed the cups and changed the lamps, and talked very happily, but did not mention anything else, and the baron, who had been avenged for his great revenge but had a long-cherished wish, was very drunk.
Soon, the steward was turned around, and the Lucson family agreed to transfer the mansion, along with a dozen servants, for a total of 1,600 gold coins.
Meng Yang bought it on the spot, and the servants of the house were very well organized on weekdays, and they could live in it when they moved in.
On that day, Meng Yang, who moved into the new house, became an authentic Sisang leader.
Andal was transformed into the Grand Butler of the Mongol Mansion, and Monyang gave him 2,000 gold coins to use for his daily expenses.
As for the dozen or so cooks, slaves, and porters, they were all slaves, and they only had to take care of food and shelter, and did not have to pay wages, but Monyan set a rule that surprised Andal.
First of all, Meng Yang promoted the old slave Old Ford, who used to manage this house, to the account office of the Mongolian Mansion, and Andal could not read a few big characters, so Meng Yang ordered Andal to learn to read and write with Old Ford. It almost cost Andal's life, but he didn't dare to disobey his master's orders.
Secondly, Meng Yang paid the servants up and down the Mongol Palace, which was a groundbreaking move, and Andal was shocked for a long time before coming to his senses.
The aristocratic lord has never regarded slaves as human beings, and in the history of the White Dragon Empire, there has never been a precedent for nobles to pay slaves for work.
But now, as Mon Yang sat in the quaint and spacious hall master's seat, gray-haired old Ford stood tremblingly beside him, reading aloud to the dozen or so servants in the hall the rules that Meng Yang had laid down in his hand.
"From today onwards, no one is allowed to leak the affairs of the house to outsiders, and those who violate it will be directly killed or resold. To be loyal to the master is to strictly guard the secrets of the Mongolian Mansion, regard the Mongolian Mansion as your own home, and do your part well. Now, listen carefully!"
"The servants of the Mongol Mansion should eat no less than ten silver coins per person per day, and only when they eat well can they do things well. In spring, summer, autumn and winter, four sets of special costumes are collected at the account office every quarter. Daily work requires uniform clothing and neatness. The kitchen utensils were repurchased to the highest standards of the Si Sang Ling nobility, and the covered wardrobes of all guest rooms and servants' quarters were replaced. The gardener mason, who is responsible for making a plan for the layout of the Mongol Mansion and carrying out a complete renovation of the interior and exterior of the Mongol Palace. All plan expenses are to be paid in the bookkeeper with the consent of Andal's butler and the old Ford of the bookkeeper. ”
"Mongol will pay all the slaves, Andal, five gold coins a month, old ford, three gold coins, and one gold for the others. On the last day of each month, it can be picked up at the account office or deposited at the account office. ”
"No one is allowed to approach the lord's residence except for the daily cleaning. ”
“・・・・・・”
Old Ford read a lot of thoughts, and listened to the slave servants out of the world, not frightened, but overly surprised.
None of them could believe it was true.
After Old Ford finished reading, he bowed respectfully to Meng Yang and said, "Master, I'm done reading." ”
"Well, I'm sure you heard what old Ford had just said. My name is Monyan, and I will be your master from now on. As long as you take care of the Mengfu for me and do things according to my rules, I guarantee that you will be the happiest slaves of the White Dragon Empire. ”
"Old Ford, this is your reward. ”
Old Ford trembled his hands, took a handful of gold coins handed to him by Meng Yang, the old eyes glanced at it quickly, and he had already seen that it was five gold coins, and suddenly he almost burst into tears, and fell to the ground with a thud, and said repeatedly: "Thank you, thank you, thank you!"
"Get up. Do things well. Come here in turn, all of you. ”
Meng Yang had a big money bag on the table at some point, and pointed at the servants and said loudly.
The surprising slaves stepped forward one by one, and they all received a golden coin reward, and they were all overjoyed.
"Alright, old Ford, you can arrange for someone to do things. ”
"Yes, sir. ”
Old Ford led a group of many slaves who were still getting gold coins for the first time, and only Monyan and Andal were left in the hall.
Meng Yang looked at Andal and said, "Andal, don't think about anything now, first follow Old Ford to read and write, and I'll go around the city casually." Work hard, and you will get what you want. ”
As he spoke, Meng Yang casually threw Andal a money bag, heavy, with Andal's super strong intuition, he knew that there were at least hundreds of gold coins in this money bag.
"Thank you, sir, Andal will definitely live up to your expectations!"
Andal was about to kneel down to thank him, but when he saw a figure flash, the master had already carried him out of the Mongol mansion.
Meng Yang walked through the streets of Sisang Castle, feeling that the people here were simple and the atmosphere was very peaceful, and his heart couldn't help but be in a trance.
Si Sang Castle's home is just a starting point for him to set foot in the White Dragon Empire, and with a legal identity, he can show his strength and train his troops.
According to Ka Ye's method, Meng Yang refined three rule suits, but he didn't know what kind of role these three pieces of equipment made with immortal talismans as the core would play in this magic world.
Meng Yang is full of curiosity about the magic and fighting spirit of this magical world.
Although he killed more than a thousand bandits, and also killed the bandit leader of the fifth-level warrior, Meng Yang knew deeply that he was lucky to win, especially against the bandit leader.
If it weren't for the fact that Burning Sky relied on the speed of his elusive body and used his claws to clear out those bandits for Meng Yang extremely quickly, Meng Yang knew that every battle would become extremely difficult.
Against the bandit leader, Meng Yang saw the strength of the powerful warrior's fighting spirit, and he had a trial with Korabi, and once again saw the diverse presentation and application of the fighting spirit skills.
To date, Monyan has yet to encounter a single magician. He didn't know what kind of tactics or methods he would use in the face of the magician's attack, which was why he was determined to stay in Si Sang Castle and deepen his understanding of Dou Qi and magic first, because he understood that his strength was now comparable to that of a third-level warrior like Cora, and without the help of Burning Sky, this road might be difficult to follow.
Soon Monyan saw the only apothecary in Sissan's castle and walked in.
In every big and small city, there are apothecaries jointly opened by the three major guilds, and there are all kinds of potions in the apothecaries, such as Douqi Elixir, Magic Elixir, Healing Potion, etc., of course, there are also quite superficial exercise books such as "Introduction to Douqi" and "Introduction to Magic".
In an apothecary like Si Sang's Castle, the variety and quality of potions are rarely very poor, and there are no fighting skills and magic secrets, and if you want to buy this kind of secrets, you must at least go to the big city where the viscounty or earldom is located.
The fact that there is a pharmacy in this small place is the result of Iniesta's many efforts.
After all, this small place of only three towns simply doesn't have many warriors or magicians who can afford expensive potions, most of which are sold to those who venture out into the lava fields.
The pharmacy was deserted, and the lazy guy was very excited to see the imposing Meng Yang enter the door, but after a little look, he found that Meng Yang did not have a medal on his body, so he shrank listlessly in the counter and no longer paid attention to Meng Yang.
Monyan strolling around the pharmacy.
There were small bottles full of potions on the counter, and Meng Yang saw that the bottles were labeled: Fighting Elixir, Magic Potion, Healing Potion. In the huge counter, there were only these three potions.
And when he saw the selling price, Meng Yang was secretly speechless, and said secretly: "Really in any plane, cultivation is an extremely money-burning thing. ”
Primary Dou Qi Elixir: Each bottle costs 120 gold coins.
Intermediate Dou Qi Elixir: Each bottle costs 560 gold coins.
Primary Magic Elixir: Each bottle costs 120 gold coins.
Intermediate Magic Elixir: Each bottle costs 560 gold coins.
Primary Healing Elixir: Sells for 30 gold coins per bottle.
Intermediate Healing Elixir: Each bottle costs 180 gold coins.
Meng Yang saw that in the corner of this large pile of potion bottles, there was a more delicate crystal bottle, marked "Magic Recovery Elixir", each bottle priced for three thousand gold coins.
Heavens, Meng Yang's heart was a little tight.
A civilian family in Si Sangling, calculated as a family of three, only needs twenty silver coins for a month's various food levels. Two gold coins can already make a family of three live comfortably for a year.
[The White Dragon Empire's copper, silver, and gold coins are exchange rates of one hundred. 】
Such a bottle of magic recovery potion cannot be afforded by an ordinary civilian family for a lifetime!
The guy obviously noticed Meng Yang's surprised expression, and his heart was even more disdainful.
saw Meng Yang walking around another counter, and there was a stack of books on the counter, which were "Introduction to Douqi" and "Introduction to Magic", which were exactly what Meng Yang urgently needed.
What made Meng Yang a little painful was that in such a broken book, the price of each book was a thousand gold coins.
Meng Yang was not reluctant to spend money, he planned to use the tens of thousands of gold coins in his hand to recruit troops and embark on a training journey. However, if you don't strengthen your strength first, the soldiers and horses you recruit will not be strong, and if you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools, which is a truth that Meng Yang knows very well.
Without the slightest hesitation, Meng Yang shouted at the guy, "I want these two books!"
The guy was in good spirits at this time, there was nothing he didn't know about the nobles in the city, and when he saw that although Meng Yang was dressed like a nobleman, he was not a member of the guild, so he got up and put the two books designated by Meng Yang on the cabinet, and said coldly: "Promise two thousand gold coins." ”
