Chapter XVIII Unexpected Requests
Miss Rabbit didn't lie, at least in the Westlands Arias family still has a way.
The more than two pounds of pepper were taken by her to Black Rock City to sell, and finally Li Yu had two hundred and twenty-nine gold cohen in his hand.
Li Yu played with the newly arrived bag of gold coins, each of which weighed between 4 and 5g.
On the front is a bust of Edward II, the current emperor of the Red Lion Empire, and on the back is the lion head of the Vespasian family, so it is also called the Golden Lion by the Empire.
The batch of gold coins in Li Yu's hand looked quite new, they should have just been minted, and there was almost no wear, especially when they were all piled together, they exuded a beautiful light that touched the heart.
This is still the money left after deducting thirty percent of the commission given to Ilea, and Miss Rabbit herself has earned nearly a hundred gold cohen, and the batch of pepper is probably really sold by the grain.
Because the condition is good enough, it is not damp at all, and it is actually more expensive than gold.
It's a pity that Li Yu can't bring this money back, so he can only spend it here, which is the first start-up capital earned on the Brattis continent, and he doesn't have to worry about money for the time being in the next few days, and the Arias family can also last until the next batch of carrots are harvested.
However, the girl was obviously not satisfied, and kept urging Li Yu to bring more pepper.
Li Yu couldn't stand being pestered by her, so she could only agree with her to bring two pounds of pepper every twenty days in the future, and Miss Rabbit was obviously not satisfied with this frequency.
But it's better than nothing, after all, the pepper is in Li Yu's hands, and she can't help it if she doesn't agree.
Besides, you can make a lot of money for nothing every 20 days, although it is estimated that you will not be able to sell it for the first time, but it is also a lot of income, and you can continue to hold banquets or something.
Speaking of which, after she became a lord, according to the old rules, she should invite all the nobles she could invite, and then find some bards and dwarf opera troupes in nearby towns, and feast and drink for three days and three nights.
But the way she came back was more ...... Special, and then I was depressed by all kinds of bad things, and I threw myself into the warm embrace of my ancestors, so I naturally forgot about the celebration.
Now that the most urgent financial crisis has been resolved, other things are tricky, but Ireya is also trying her best to find a way, and seeing that the territory is gradually stabilizing, the girl is naturally thinking about making up for the banquet she owes before.
It's not because Ilea is a staunch party party and always wants to have some fun when she's idle, and while Miss Rabbit does like to watch the theater and listen to the bards sing her voice, that's not the point.
The main banquet for the aristocracy, in addition to being entertainment, also had a strong political significance.
In this era, there was no telegraph news, and the girl needed to use a grand banquet to announce to the green field and the whole of the Westland that she had succeeded her father Ruth as the master of the land.
In this way, he can be branded as an orthodox successor in the hearts of most people, and from now on, if anyone jumps out and says that Green Field should belong to him, he will be regarded as a rebellious minister and thief.
In addition, Ilea also has to win over the knights and nobles below through the banquet, so that they feel that they are good lords and have a future with them.
Considering the recent siege of Fort Teacup, this was a great opportunity to ease the relationship between the two sides and reassure the knights.
At the same time, Miss Rabbit also needs to have a good relationship with the surrounding neighbors, so that if there are any disputes in the future, everyone can discuss them well, and if they can not fight and kill, they will not fight and kill.
Finally, a great banquet can also show the financial strength and strength of the host, act as a deterrent to potential enemies, and attract future allies. As for the additional role of choosing a suitable spouse for the children while all the nobles are together, there is no mention of it.
In short, for Ireya, this banquet cannot be spared in any way.
So Miss Rabbit allocated sixty gold coins to her chief steward, who was responsible for preparing the feast.
However, the old manager has to draw up a guest list, and he has to go to the theater troupe, prepare all the items and various ingredients to be used in the banquet, and then assist Ilea in handling various daily affairs in the territory, considering his advanced age, and the fact that he was coerced and imprisoned some time ago, he was frightened a lot, and his body was a little unable to support it.
So he begged the girl to send more manpower, but although Miss Rabbit verbally agreed, she did not take any action, and the boss had to find a way to save herself.
Then Li Yu, who was teaching Clara and the four little ones to study in the castle, saw the angry Ilea walking briskly through the corridor outside the door, stomping on the ground, and finally rushed into her room, and closed the door slammed shut.
Li Yu then turned his gaze to the other end of the corridor and saw an embarrassing figure who didn't know whether to go or stay.
Li Yu recognized the person and nodded at the other party, the person was also polite when he saw this, and then seemed to want to wait for Li Yu to speak first, but he didn't expect Li Yu to retract his head back into the room after saying hello.
The man was dumbfounded.
She didn't seem to expect that Li Yu didn't have any idea of interfering in this matter at all, and she didn't even say a polite greeting, but after hesitating for a moment, she still walked towards the room in front of her.
Because if there is anyone in this world who can make that child change his mind, it is undoubtedly the same person just now.
Alyssa tidied up her clothes again, and then walked to Li Yu's door.
Li Yu didn't close the door, so Alyssa could see the scene in the house at a glance.
In addition to Li Yu, there were five other people inside, and Alyssa obviously knew that Li Yu was teaching a new counting method, so she was not surprised, but said softly, "Can I come in?" ”
"Yes."
Clara immediately stood up from her chair when she saw someone coming, bowed her head and respectfully, "Lady Alyssa." Seeing this, the four children all stood up and stood in a row against the wall, and the teaching was interrupted.
"Alright, let's learn math here today, you go outside and wait for me, and then we'll go out, go around the forest, and start collecting plants." Li Yu said.
When the little maid heard this, she took the four children out of the house, and when they left, the woman opposite her, who looked a little like Ilea, smiled wryly.
"Now, apart from Fausto and you, there are probably few people in this castle who are willing to talk to me."
"I understand your situation, madam, and I deeply regret this, if you have anything to say, madam, you can talk to me directly, no need to go around in circles, this will save you and me time."
"Your Excellency is worthy of being a wise man of the first class," Elisa praised, "then I won't beat around the bush, Ireya's child used to have the best relationship with me in the family, but now there is a deep estrangement and misunderstanding between the two of us. ”
"I hope to clear up this misunderstanding so that I can continue to serve her, the Arias family, and share the burden that weighs on that child's shoulders, so I would like to ask Your Excellency to do me a favor."
"What's the busy?" Li Yu asked.
"Your Excellency has used that miraculous means at the Marquis's Court before, and I would like to ask Your Excellency to perform it again, to record my voice, and I am willing to swear in the name of the gods and ancestors that my brother Torres changed his mind at the last minute and switched to Blanca in his letter, without any prior knowledge of it." Alyssa said sincerely.
