Chapter 121: Scattered Cloth (4/4)
On the carriage back to the city.
The butler, Babas, sat up straight, his whole body motionless as if he had been in a plaster cast.
Rosen followed him, and he began to talk carefully about the state of the project.
"Babas, I hope that all the money for this project will be used to convert it into tangible benefits in the territory, and not into the pockets of some greedy people."
Babas's heart was shocked, his back tightened more and more, and he immediately shouted: "Lord, please rest assured, I will definitely not live up to your trust."
Rosen was shocked by him and his ears hurt: "Don't shout, speak quietly."
"Yes, my lord."
Rosen continued.
"I can feel that building in a poor village is a lot of work and a lot of danger, and I am not a harsh lord."
"So, for the next three years, I will increase your annuity from 35 crowns to 80 crowns. You will also be the village chief of Filand, and you will be equipped with 20 low-level samurai to help you maintain order in the village and keep you safe. ”
The low-level samurai are only temporary, and when the project is completed and the huge amount of money is spent, there is no need to deliberately protect it.
In a year or two, it will be enough to organize a militia in the village to maintain order.
Babas was overjoyed: "Thank you very much for the mercy of the lord."
But Rosen had opened a factory in his previous life, and knew that it was not enough to just give immediate benefits, and it would inevitably breed corruption.
If you want to put an end to this situation, there are two tricks.
One is deterrence and supervision, and the other is to draw the pie of the future, so that his subordinates have a head start.
The deterrence of the Divine Seal Mage should be enough, so it is enough to draw another big pie.
He began to paint.
"Remember, if the project is done well, I'm satisfied. Then, when the project is completed, I will give you a lifetime letter of appointment with a guaranteed annuity of 100 crowns until you can no longer do it. ”
"And at that point, your son can also take over your position and salary."
Babas's heart suddenly became ecstatic, and the volume could not be controlled again.
"My lord, I will do my best to do this."
This is not just about making a little money, but if he does a good job, his family's food, clothing, housing and transportation will be stable for decades to come.
For a moment, the little greed in Babas's heart dissipated without a trace, and there was a thought in his heart.
He must do this well and lay a foundation for his family!
Rosen clearly felt the change in him, and nodded in satisfaction: "Well, I trust you." ”
After a pause, he asked, "How much does a set of linen pants cost?"
"Seventy or eighty grams for adults and twenty or thirty grams for children, depending on the size and workmanship. But never more than a single gram. ”
"Well, I'll give you another 400 crowns."
"You buy everybody in the village, whether it's an old man, a man or a woman, even a newborn baby, two good quality, brand new linen clothes and trousers."
400 kroner is definitely too much, and the extra should be paid for the housekeeper's errands.
It's not easy to work for him in such a dirty place all day.
Finally, he nodded lightly.
"I don't care what means you use to get these clothes, as long as they comply with the laws of Silvermoon Castle. The extra money is all yours. ”
He had just seen in the square that at least a quarter of them had no pants, and in addition to the men, there were a lot of coming out.
Although they tried their best to cover the vital points with some messy things, such as leaves and barrels, they were still unsightly.
In addition, if you have to go out to do the project later, it's not good to let a group of villagers do it bare-assed, right?
Babas was very happy and immediately puffed up his chest: "The lord is really generous and merciful. The people of Filand Village will surely repay you for your kindness. ”
Rosen didn't want the villagers to repay the favor at all, he only hoped that he would lead the people to live like savages one by one.
Above all, he hoped to gain a good reputation for kindness and generosity through these things.
I believe that when the opportunity comes, this reputation will bring him a lot of help.
With that said, the matter is completely settled.
When the carriage returned to Silvermoon Castle, he first went to the Full Moon Bank and gave Babas a first payment of one kilogram of Lang.
Then to the market, with a monthly gold of 4 crowns, he hired 20 low-level samurai from innocent families and civilian families as Babas's helpers.
This is another expense, but fortunately, it only needs to be employed for half a year at most, which is a one-time expense.
Then, the matter of the territory was decided.
Rosen wasn't worried that Barbas would abscond with the money, because this guy had a family, a family, a son, and a daughter who had lived in Silvermoon for generations.
Then there is the promise of a lifetime appointment, and I believe that with his shrewdness, it is easy to distinguish the priority.
It is also believed that with the development of territorial affairs, his good reputation of kindness, generosity and generosity will also quickly spread throughout the Yellow Water Heights.
When I was busy with everything and returned to Sunshine Xiaozhu again, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon.
After returning home, Rosen devoted all his energy to spells.
Papers should be written, and new areas of magic should be explored.
The Count's two divine skills are to be fused. The master's experience in the technique should also continue to be studied in depth.
Bilgu's stargazing record should also be carefully studied.
The increase in cast ability cannot be left behind.
In short, Rosen was so busy that he spent almost all of his free time in spells.
As the days passed, the annual Flower Society, organized by the Mage's Guild, was approaching day by day.
At that time, the official mages of the entire Yellow Water Heights will be invited to participate, and each official mage can also bring three apprentices to participate.
Some formal mages do not have apprentices, and some informal mages come to the door early to buy their idle apprenticeships.
This money is not a decimal number, the more famous and powerful the mage, the higher the price of the apprenticeship.
Naturally, Rosen will not miss such a money-making opportunity.
Three of his apprenticeships have been sold for 180 CZK. Mentor Thrandis sold for 120 crowns.
I don't know how, Lawson's apprenticeship position of a low-level mage is much more expensive than that of a mentor.
Of course, during this time, Lawson was not completely behind closed doors.
Master Bilgu held an afternoon tea party every seven days, and Rosen would attend it every time.
And he is so attentive for many reasons.
Make friends, accumulate contacts, increase the prestige of the magic world, and so on.
One of the most important purposes at the moment is to build momentum for myself and my supervisor's upcoming new papers!
On this day, Lawson attended the tea party as usual.
As before, he sat in the corner of the hall, drinking milk tea while discussing all sorts of strange spells with a few young mages.
Among them was Bilgo's nephew, Alan. De Mirante.
The two are already good friends, and they basically sit at the same table if they have nothing to do.
It's the same on this day.
The topic of discussion on this day was what force is pushing the moving stars in the sky around the sun.
Alan took a sip of moonshine wine and said casually, "I think it's the power of the Golden God."
"Hey, Alan, this isn't a temple, so you don't have to be so religious."
The one who spoke was a mid-level moon mage named Harvin, 28 years old, whose father was the Lord of Furnace Ash, and he was the second son in the family.
He then expressed his opinion.
"According to Mr. Bilgou's stargazing records, it is an obvious fact that, at least among the stars at close range, there is an invisible, invisible attraction."
Rosen's heart moved: 'Oh, it's time to go down in history.' ’
Of course, he was calm.
Because although these mages have good imagination and observation, and their cultivation in magic may be stronger than him, their mathematical skills are still a little higher than the four operations.
In this world, the vast majority of people rack their brains and can do many incredible things, but they can't solve mathematical problems.
Those who were able to create a whole new set of mathematical tools for solving problems are all famous in the history books!
And moving stars are planets.
To solve the problem of planetary motion, it is necessary to use calculus, that is, the number of flows, to completely solve it.
So, they couldn't get anything out of it.
I'll have to ask him eventually.
