Chapter 184: The Castle's Treasure

When Savan officially began to demolish the castle, tenant farmers from many nearby villages came to watch, there were so many castles on the mainland, but few people would demolish it, even if they abandoned it, they just let it go to waste, who would spend so much effort to tear it down.

However, Savin was thinking about more than just demolition, a castle would require countless bricks and stones to build, and these demolished bricks and stones could be used to build a port, so he could save himself from looking for stones elsewhere and turning waste into treasure! Sawin ordered people to put the dismantled bricks and stones in separate yards according to the size of the materials, so that they could be used in the future.

Although the materials are available, but the construction of the port is not a casual thing, you have to hire a special builder to do it, Sawin did not have such a talent around him, so at the suggestion of everyone, Sawin decided to visit those famous colleges, on the one hand, to hire people who know how to build, and on the other hand, to find people who know how to strategize.

Now Savin feels more and more the urgent need in this regard, without people who know how to strategize, many of his own things are difficult to carry out, and such talents must be found as soon as possible, otherwise many things can only be delayed, and he dislikes procrastination the most.

Although I have to visit various colleges, it is not so easy to start, and there are a lot of chores waiting for Sahain. There was one more thing that had to be done before Sawin set off, and it was something he and the others had carefully planned.

One day at noon, hired laborers were sweating and using crowbars to get huge pieces of stone down from the city walls, and because the employers demanded that the stones be protected as much as possible, they had to abandon the indiscriminate demolition method and replace it with this careful method.

The demolition of the castle began with the tower, which had already collapsed on half of its sides, and was easier to demolish because it had collapsed naturally, by which time the work had progressed to the base part of the tower.

"Hey, hey!" the laborers shouted as they worked together to lift a huge stone slab, and the black dirt beneath was finally exposed to the eyes of the people for the first time in hundreds of years.

As the slate was removed, a foreman came to take a look, and he suddenly noticed that something was not quite right with the soil beneath the slate, as if it had only been turned over recently, and some of the soil still looked very new. At this time, a laborer was about to throw away the dirt with a pickaxe, but the foreman hurriedly stopped him: "Wait, don't be busy digging the earth, bring a smaller shovel." ”

Soon a shovel was brought, and the foreman carefully shoveled away the upper layer of dirt with the shovel, when a black iron object suddenly appeared in the dirt. "What is this?" the foreman carefully brushed his hands through the dirt around the object, but he didn't expect it to be small.

When the others saw that they had accidentally dug something, everyone gathered around curiously, and helped with all their hands, and soon the black iron tool was dug out, and it was actually a small iron box, and there was a lock on the box. Because of its age, the lock was rusty, and a worker gently picked it with an iron rod, and the lock fell off.

Everyone opened the iron box with excitement, "Wow!" Everyone exclaimed in unison when they saw the contents of the box, and there was actually half a box of gold coins in the box, although it was covered with mud, but the yellow color would definitely not be wrong!

The foreman grabbed a handful of gold coins, wiped the dirt on the gold coins on his clothes, and then watched them carefully, and the others held their breath nervously, watching every movement of the foreman carefully. "That's right, it's true, it's real gold!" said the foreman, unable to suppress the excitement in his heart, in a trembling voice.

"Great! we're going to get rich!" the others cheered happily.

"Haha! I'm going to have a big drink tonight!"

Seeing that everyone was excited, the foreman hurriedly made a silent gesture and said, "Shhhh

When the foreman heard this, they immediately shut their mouths, and when the workers saw that everyone was silent, they carefully said, "Don't keep this matter out of sight, or they will make us hand over these gold coins." We've quietly divided the gold coins, and no one is allowed to say anything!

The crowd nodded their heads and no one dared to speak, not even gasping for breath, as if they would be heard by others as soon as they spoke.

Sawan was busy sorting out his things in front of the desk, and I am afraid that the time to go out this time will not be short, and many things must be packed in advance, otherwise they may be forgotten in a hurry. At that moment, Narros appeared silently in front of Sawan and whispered, "Lord, they have dug up." ”

"What, what did you dig into?" Sawan didn't react for a moment.

"It's the boxes we buried, the gold coins. Narros agreed.

Sawan slapped the table and smiled: "Great, I was worried that it would take a few days for them to find it, I didn't expect it to be so fast, it's great!"

Sawan excitedly walked a few steps back and forth in the room, and then suddenly said to Naros, "I almost forgot, you spread the news quickly, but not too obviously. Remember?"

Narros nodded, and jumped out of the window in a flash, and when Sawin saw that Narros was gone, the solemn image of the moment was immediately gone, and he ran towards Hortz's room with his hands dancing.

A few days later, rumors began to circulate in Haydonnis that someone had dug up a treasure on the castle site, and there were several large chests of gold, but also pearls and gems, so much that no one could spend them in a lifetime, and a few workers who had dug up the chests had made a fortune and fled elsewhere overnight.

The rumor was like having wings, and within a few days, it spread all over the surrounding area, and even many people in other places were telling about it. Through word of mouth, this rumor soon evolved into a large amount of treasure that the Duke of Amberton had quietly buried during the construction of the castle hundreds of years ago, a matter that even the dukes of the past generations did not know, and if it had not been accidentally dug up by a few workers, I am afraid that no one would have known about it until now.

Some even added fuel to the rumors that this treasure had been cursed, so that the Duke of Amberton had not dared to open it, and only the poor could enjoy it, otherwise they would be cursed by the gods...... In short, the rumors have been spread incessantly beyond recognition, and no one can figure out what it looks like at its best.

As a result of this rumor, a large number of people from other places rushed to Haydonis to sign up for labor, and for a time the place responsible for recruiting laborers was overcrowded, and before dawn a small cabin was crowded to the point where it was difficult to gain a foothold, and the recruited people screamed excitedly, as if thousands of gold coins had arrived in front of them, while those who were not recruited were indignant and unrelenting......

In just a few days, the number of Haydonnes' laborers had grown rapidly from about two hundred to six or seven hundred, and I am afraid that the number would have continued to increase had it not been for Sahain's order to stop. The person in charge of recruiting laborers came to Sahain, saying that there were still many people who refused to leave and were clamoring to be laborers every day.

Sawin rolled his eyes and smiled gloomily: "Hehe, isn't it great? Since they are here, don't think about leaving easily, you tell these people, now the workers are not recruited, but recruit tenant farmers, see if they are willing to do it." ”

The person in charge of recruitment said with a sad face: "My lord, these people are here to make a fortune, I'm afraid they don't want to farm." ”

Sawan smiled: "It's okay, you just have to recruit, I have my own way......"

The recruiters listened to Savin's words and had no choice but to agree. As soon as the people came, Sahain called Narros and said to her, "If you spread the word again, it will be that there is treasure not only under the castle, but also in the surrounding fields. ”

Within a few days, a large number of people flocked to Haydonnis, asking to sign up as tenant farmers, and the recruiters were so busy every day that they cursed in their hearts: "If we continue to play this trick, we will be exhausted." ”

Sawan was very pleased with this, it was beyond his expectations to gather so many people in a short period of time, although these people will soon leave, but there will always be some people who will stay, and after some hype, many people have noticed that Haydonnis is a very low-tax place, and it is believed that people will move in a steady stream soon.

With the labor shortage temporarily resolved, Sawan is ready to embark on a journey.
