Working Prophet.

Chapter 57 Unexpected Request

Miss Rabbit is not lying, at least the Arias family in the western region still has a way.

She sent someone to sell the two pounds of pepper in Black Rock City, and finally Li Yu got 220 nine gold coins in his hands.

Li Yu was playing with the bag of gold coins he had just obtained. Each of these golden little things weighed about 4 to 5g.

On the front is the 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 imperial people.

The batch of gold coins in Li Yu's hand looked quite new, they should have just been minted, and there was hardly any wear and tear, especially when they were piled up together, they exuded a breathtakingly beautiful light.

This is still the money left after deducting [-]% of the commission to Ilea. Miss Rabbit herself has earned nearly a hundred gold coins, and she probably really sold the batch of peppers by grain.

Because the appearance is good enough, and it is not damp at all, it is actually more expensive than gold.

It's a pity that Li Yu can't take this money back, so he can only spend it here. It is the first start-up capital he earned on the continent of Bratis, and he won't have to worry about money for the time being in the days to come, while Ali The Yas family will also survive until the next carrot harvest.

But 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 he could only make an agreement with her to bring two pounds of pepper every 20 days. Miss Rabbit was obviously not satisfied with this frequency.

But it's better than nothing, after all, Pepper is in Li Yu's hands, and there is nothing she can do if she disagrees.

Besides, I can make a lot of money for free every 20 days. Although it is estimated that I will not be able to sell for the sky-high price for the first time, it is still a lot of income, and I can continue to hold banquets and so on.

Speaking of which, after she became a lord, according to the past rules, she should invite all the nobles she could, and then find some bards and dwarf troupes in nearby towns, and have a good banquet for three days and three nights.

But the way she came back was... special, and she was depressed after being tortured by all kinds of bad things, and threw herself into the warm embrace of her ancestors, so she naturally forgot to celebrate.

Now the most urgent financial crisis has been resolved. Although other matters are difficult, Ilea is trying her best to find a way. Seeing that the territory is gradually stabilizing, the girl is naturally thinking about making up for the banquet owed earlier.

It's not because Ilea is a staunch party member who always wants to have some fun when she has nothing to do. Although Miss Rabbit really likes watching plays and listening to those bards sing, that's not the point.

Apart from being entertainment for the nobles, the main banquet also had a strong political significance.

There is no telegraph news in this era, and the girl needs to use a grand banquet to announce to Green Field, and even the entire Western Territory, that she, Ilea, has succeeded her father Ruth as the master of this land.

In this way, the brand of an orthodox successor can be branded in the hearts of most people. From now on, if anyone jumps out and says that the green field should belong to him, they will be regarded as rebellious officials and traitors.

In addition, Ilea will also use the banquet to win over the knights and nobles below, so that they feel that she is a good lord and has a future.

Considering the siege of Teacup Castle that just happened not long ago, this is an excellent opportunity to ease the relationship between the two sides, and it can also dispel the worries in the hearts of those knights.

At the same time, Ms. Rabbit also needs to establish a good relationship with the neighbors around her, so that in the future, if there are any disputes, everyone can discuss them carefully, and don't fight and kill if they can't.

Finally, an excellent banquet can also demonstrate the financial resources and strength of the host family, deter potential enemies and attract future allies.As for the additional effect of choosing a suitable spouse for the children while all the nobles are together, I will not mention it.

In short, for Ilea, this banquet cannot be omitted anyway.

So Miss Rabbit allocated [-] gold coins to her steward, and asked the latter to be responsible for preparing the banquet.

However, the old manager has to draw up the guest list, find a theater troupe, prepare all the items and various ingredients for the banquet, and then assist Ilea in handling various daily affairs of the territory. Considering his advanced age, In addition, he was coerced and imprisoned some time ago, and he was frightened a lot, and his body was a little unable to support.

So he begged the girl to send more manpower, but although Miss Rabbit readily agreed verbally, she did not take any action for a long time, and had to find a way to save herself.

Then Li Yu, who was teaching Clara and the four little ones in the castle, saw the angry Ilea walking quickly through the corridor outside the door, stomping on the ground, and finally plunged into it. In his own room, he also slammed the door behind him.

Li Yu then turned his gaze to the other end of the corridor, and saw an awkward figure who didn't know whether to go or stay.

Li Yu recognized the man, nodded at him, the man politely returned the salute when he saw this, and then seemed to want to wait for Li Yu to speak first, but unexpectedly, Li Yu withdrew his head back into the room after greeting to go.

The man was suddenly dumbfounded.

She seemed completely unaware that Li Yu had no intention of joining in the fun and meddling in this matter, not even a polite greeting, but after hesitating for a moment, she still walked towards the front room.

Because if there was anyone in this world who could make that kid change his mind, it would undoubtedly be that person.

Alisa tidied her clothes again, and then walked outside Li Yu's door.

Li Yu didn't close the door, so Alyssa could see the scene in the house at a glance.

Besides Li Yu, there were five other people inside, and Alisa obviously knew that Li Yu was teaching a new counting method, so she was not surprised, she just asked softly, "Can I come in?"

"can."

Clara immediately stood up from the chair when she saw the person coming, bowed her head and said respectfully, "Mrs. Alisa." The four children followed suit and stood up in a row against the wall. , the teaching was interrupted.

"Okay, let's learn the math here first. You wait for me outside, and we will go out later, go to the forest for a while, and start collecting plants." Li Yu said.

The little maid heard the words and took the four children out of the house, and when they left, the woman who had a faint resemblance to Ilea showed a wry smile on the opposite side.

"Now in this castle, apart from Fausto and you, I'm afraid few people are willing to talk to me."

"I understand your situation, madam, and I am deeply sorry about it. If you have anything to say, madam, you can tell me directly without going around in circles. This will save both you and me time."

"Your Excellency is indeed a first-class smart person," Alisa praised, "Then I won't beat around the bush. The child Ilea used to have the best relationship with me in the family, but now the relationship between the two of us is very different. There is a deep estrangement and misunderstanding."

"I hope that this misunderstanding can be resolved, so that I can continue to serve her and the Arias family, and share the burden on that child's shoulders, so I would like to ask Your Excellency to do me a favor."

"What's the matter?" Li Yu asked.

"Your Excellency has performed that miraculous method on the Marquis's Mansion before. I would like to ask Your Excellency to perform it again and record my voice. I am willing to swear in the name of the gods and ancestors. My brother Torres changed his mind at the last minute. I didn't know anything about switching to Blanca in the letter." Alisa said sincerely.
