One hundred and seven, if you want to get rich, build roads first
Three days after the return of the leaves and the elves.
Everything went very smoothly, except for their own state.
Liye stretched out against the rising sun, and his face was tired. Tangmen's "Tianluo Net" is very demanding in terms of the use of both "Tianluo" and "Earth Net", and he is not "congenital overattention", just feeling that the feedback on each line almost didn't exhaust him to death, not to mention playing with the werewolf for so long, until now he has not been too relieved.
And the current situation of the castle, in addition to Inoli and them, the castle has recruited a servant, because it was not a good location, and now it has become a front line of battle, so I am not afraid that other nobles will come over and then there will be no beautiful maid in the end, so Inoli will find a middle-aged woman with good hands-on ability on the principle of convenience. The woman, named Marie, was usually in charge of the other people's meals, as well as sorting and cleaning, and although she looked like a spicy shrew when she wore a coarse cloth peasant robe, she exuded an indescribable sense of sophistication when she changed into a servant's suit. And most importantly - the food she cooks is delicious!
Because there are no "heaters" and "gas stoves", it becomes necessary to stock up on firewood, and fortunately, the forest here is not small, as long as you are careful not to go too deep and you won't run into Warcraft or anything. As for manpower, the manpower of the army and the temple was definitely impossible, so I had to use some villagers to help, of course, there was a reward. The source of remuneration can only be Ainoni and the others first......
Finally, there are the attendants, at the moment when there is an extreme shortage of manpower, Liye is extremely opposed to the dispensable candidate of the waiter! Who doesn't know how to dress and eat? Why do you have to have more people to serve??? but the noble-born Inoli and Alber and even Ellie insist that this is a must, because this is the minimum symbol of nobility! In the end, they couldn't resist their Liye casually went to the street and pulled a little girl who had lost her parents, what is the name of the little girl, as for what to do? Xuebei! As far as the situation of the current two days is concerned, it is not bad. But her task is only to take care of Ruri and Xiaobai. Oh, by the way, it's called Tina - that name has been used in a lot of 18x......
And Liye resolutely refuses to be served by others! Liye resolutely refuses to be served by others!
Except for being nagged by Inoli to have a serving attendant, everything else feels okay. It's just a little boring these days.
Oh, and the salary, it is natural to get a salary for work, although the villagers are willing to serve, but Liye is not ready to "gladly accept", making an exception for this kind of thing, there will be a second time, a third time. Bottom line: No matter how low this thing is, it has to be maintained. Therefore, the reward given to Marie and Tina Liye is three gold coins a month, which is a huge amount of money compared to the salary of other nobles' servants who don't know if there is one gold coin a month!And those villagers who cut down trees will each be paid according to the amount, and the training of the army is also carried out by the forest to prevent accidents. By the way, Ellie asked herself to be the commander of the army, and she is currently doing it in full swing, making a group of big men complain about it, and the elf has also been asked by Ellie to teach archery.
And in the eyes of the villagers, their lord is also very strange, and they have never seen a lord like a "follower" and a "follower" like a lord, that is, Inoli and Liye. Even if they are not familiar with the world of nobles, they understand that this matter is strange enough, and the "follower" who looks like a lord is still wrapped in a black cloak and wears a big black hood, never showing his appearance, and his true appearance has become a huge gossip about this territory. Some say that he is ugly and unsightly, some say that he is a fugitive who is afraid of being recognized, and some say that he is a mysterious person with a handsome appearance. Anyway, after tea and dinner, you can always hear talk about the appearance of leaves. As for the relationship between Inoli and Liye, everyone is a little confused, it is said to be the relationship between master and apprentice and lovers, but there is such a statement that an apprentice takes a master and a girlfriend takes her boyfriend?
However, although it is not known what the relationship between the two is, this does not prevent Inoli from taking charge of the work in the castle, and she will make rounds around the castle every day after waking up before having breakfast. Although she is very gentle with people, once she is found to be wrong or something goes wrong, she will be severely criticized by her! Only at this time can everyone believe that she is the lord and not her "master" and "boyfriend". Compared to Inoli, who is busy with construction and cultivation in the territory every day, Ellie and Elve, who are busy with army issues, and Abel who is busy sorting out affairs and planning, Li Ye is idle, and I am afraid that only Ming Di Lati and Liuli are as idle as him. However, it is said that Liuli found something interesting yesterday, took Tina and Ming Di Latti, and ran to the forest with Xiaobai. Liye is not worried, anyway, Xiaobai and Ming Di Lati are both bottom-up people, so they won't go to the trouble of the demonic beasts in the depths of the forest.
Liye felt the need to find something to do, otherwise the whole person would be rusty, whether it was his brain or body.
"You mean...... Want to pave the way?"
The old village chief, or mayor of the town, knocked on the pipe in his pipe, and showed a puzzled expression.
"My lord, is this necessary? This road can be walked completely......"
"Indeed, this path can be walked," Liye nodded, but then he shrugged his shoulders, "Let the horses of the Dawn Knights who came to support us get to the territory two days late, and we almost didn't catch up." This is the extent to which it can be walked. ”
"It's really poor quality!" Li Ye raised his eyebrows and knocked on the table, "I still remember the situation when I came, the gods are above, I almost turned my soul out of my body! I can't believe that you actually let such a path go on? If, I mean, if I were a merchant, I would not have taken this path for the second time!"
As he spoke, he spread his hand away from Ye.
"Believe me, humans are lazy creatures who like to enjoy, this kind of road is unbearable for humans and orcs! I have every reason to believe that other people feel the same way as me, how do you think we can expect to rely on such a road to develop? I'm afraid you don't even need to find a craftsman, right? ”
"This ...... Well, well......"
Now that the lord's "men" have already given the order, the old mayor will not say anything more, and seriously, the road condition of that road can indeed "kill", and it will have to be repaired sooner or later...... Since sooner or later it will have to be re-paved, and the lord is still willing to pay, so what are you hesitating about?
"My lord, now that the territory situation is tight, and the finances are not good, paving such a road is not worth the loss at all, and it is completely unnecessary!"
Leaving the mayor's house, Abel held his forehead and danced at Liye with a scroll of maps.
"Why spend money on repairing this road when it can be used?
"Why?"
Li Ye tilted his head and did not answer positively.
"Albert, tell me what the specialties are in Yodra's collar?"
"Some of the specialties of the west are rare fruits and the furs of some rare beasts, among which the fur of the leopard is the most valuable. ”
"That's right," Liye nodded, "Among our specialty fruits, the 'Imperial Offering Fruit' of Purple Drop Grape alone can bring a lot of benefits." Although the Hualing leopard is extremely difficult to find in other places, it is almost rampant in our place, and every house has two beds and even makes cotton jackets, while the piece of the imperial capital is a rare item that only the nobles can afford. But what do you think we're getting here?"
"......," Abel was silent for a moment, "almost a deficit." ”
"So," Li Ye smiled and spread his hands, "There is such a saying in my hometown, 'If you want to get rich, build roads first', no matter who you are, you should have thought about ideas such as 'Ah, it's so troublesome, can't it be simpler', 'I'm so tired, is there a way to make it easier', people are essentially creatures who like to enjoy, so there can be so many messy inventions, this is all for their own convenience." There is no good road, people are willing to spend more money to sell some 'expensive and inferior goods' and will not come to us to sell 'cheap and good things', anyway, they are not bad for these two money, and it is not that they can't earn it back. ”
Alber's eyes widened at this, and he felt as if he had heard something strange.
"Isn't that right?" Liye glanced at him, "because of laziness the invention of the carriage, because of tiredness there is a waterwheel, if everyone is hard-working, we should now live in a stone cave and enjoy raw meat and half-cooked rice." ”
"In the same way, businessmen have traveled a long way, spent so much energy, but what they get is something that can be doubled for a little more money, who of them would want to come again? People always want to make money easily, and I am no exception, I don't believe that so many places on the mainland meet the requirements of businessmen, 'convenient transportation', 'business hub', 'special products', 'few competitors', etc., where do they find so many such good places??"
Finally, Liye concluded with a famous quote in the clothing industry.
"So, don't be reluctant, the money you earn first is paper, and the money you earn later is money. ”
“...... Truly. ”
After a moment of contemplation, Abel raised his head.
"You're right, I was negligent. ”
"No, no, no!"
Liye shook his finger.
"It's not that you're negligent, but you don't think calmly, to think, although you need to focus on the big income but you can't ignore the accumulation in the small direction, and you are too anxious, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, you can't eat a fat person in one bite, the more nervous you are, the more you need to be calm. ”
Abel nodded solemnly. He's a smart guy and doesn't need to be mentioned too much by Liye. Thereupon...... Liye is idle again......
Yes...... What should I find to do again??
=====================
However, I've found that some authors have a chapter that's only about 2.5k to 3k, and I've got 6/7k in a chapter as long as I'm not lazy. In the end, I looked at the manuscript that I had changed, and there were 11k chapters in it. Then I fell into deep contemplation...... Do I change it to one chapter a day, or do I cut them all into two chapters a day? What? What do you say?
