People are building infrastructure in another world

Chapter 44

Yuanben's father was not only a good father, but also a good uncle. He took care of everything in the territory before he passed away.

Yuanben's father probably never thought that not only could his cousin not be a good lord, but he would even have problems keeping Chengdu.

Aurora felt sorry for Viscount Hunter's subjects.

Pitiful, pitiful, Aurora didn't intend to lend a helping hand, if she intervened, that sister-in-law would definitely suffer from paranoia again.

Based on the idea that more things are worse than less things, Aurora watched with cold eyes.

But soon, things took an unexpected turn.

A week before leaving the imperial capital, a group of Liberty Ming dragged their families from Viscount Hunter's territory, begging to stay in Beichen's territory.

Let them be slave farmers.

If it weren't for the fact that there was no other way, who would want to sell himself.

The surrounding estates rejected them, saying they had escaped from the plague zone.

Jennifer crushed them every day, and they couldn't survive on a single copper anymore.

They knelt down and begged the lord to take them in.

Miguel doesn't care, Aurora decides.

Aurora was irritated, there were hundreds of free folk, and there was nowhere to settle.Aurora disagrees with letting them be slave farmers.

Good-natured people are slaves, and it is difficult to get rid of them after they are branded, and it is difficult for generations to escape the shackles of slavery.

Worst of all, who knows if there is a Jennifer in it.

But everyone begged for it, and it seemed more wasteful if she didn't accept it as a coolie.

Aurora thought of a way.

"You can stay, but you have to live outside the manor. If you have no money, you can pave the road first in exchange for daily meals." Paving the road is not a difficult job, but let them pave the big stones and uneven places on the main road , so that it is convenient to get in and out in the future, otherwise the current road will be so bumpy that it hurts the buttocks.

"Women can go to the hat workshop to apply for jobs, and children go to James to learn martial arts every day."

For those who have nothing to do, the territory can borrow their building materials to build their residences first.

There is a prerequisite for them to stay, they love to be clean.

Aurora's request can be said to be a bit arbitrary, but no one in the territory dares to say that Aurora is making a big fuss.

The countess will only hire people who are not smelly, have fewer rats and cockroaches, and who are clean.

As long as it is a little dirty, everyone's contemptuous eyes will focus on that person.

Naturally, the upper and lower are effective, and they have to clean up.

The humble freedmen are willing to do anything in order to integrate into the territory.

Aurora didn’t have time to take care of them. She told Aru that if the freedmen had conflicts with the slave farmers, no matter right or wrong, first stop the freedmen’s paving work and go to build houses. After building their own, build others until Build a larger village scale.

Aurora paid for all the meals in advance as a reward, but their personal houses are still equivalent to borrowing money to build them, and then they need labor to pay off the debt.

Aurora will not treat the free people well, treat them differently, and give them things for free just because they feel sorry for them.

It is better to teach a person to fish than to give him a fish. Making the best use of everything is the quality that a capital leader should have.

"Actually, you can stay in the territory. I'll just go to the imperial capital." Seeing that Aurora was troubled by the staff arrangement, Miguel thoughtfully proposed to travel alone.

"Then I'll stay in the territory." Aurora pretended to agree.

Miguel's eyes dimmed, like an abandoned dog.

Aurora is funny, is the role of the two reversed, she is like a heartbroken man, and Miguel is a boudoir and a dissatisfied woman.

"I'm just kidding, the work can never be done. This year is a good time to go for a trip, and next year may not be free." The tortoise has already laid eggs, and the survival rate is not high, but there are dozens of them.

So I need to find two alchemists to make glass for her.Instead of inviting big bosses for great profit, it is better to start from poor graduates and find a few with high potential.

Anyway, the trip to the imperial capital is imperative.

Miguel smiled like a flower, showing his little canine teeth.

Aurora poked his face, it was so beautiful that it was a bit foul, don't be disabled, boy.

However, the appearance of Westerners at the age of 19 is almost finalized, and they should be beautiful for a lifetime.

Aurora secretly decided in her heart to urge Miguel to exercise frequently so as not to grow into a greasy uncle.

The knights traveling to and from the imperial capital have returned to bring them good news, and the land dragons are sold out along the way.The nobles are very fond of the well-behaved Dixing Dragon.

Because they are well-trained and do not lose their temper, the nobles are very safe to ride on.

Sitting on their backs is not afraid of falling off, it is very cool.

If it wasn't for the fact that the holy white tree syrup had to be transported to the Imperial Capital Manor first, he would have been able to return halfway.

Aurora didn't expect to ride Dixinglong as a wildebeest, the nobles really know how to play.

But this shows that the demand for Dixinglong is even greater.

Before rushing to leave, Aurora proposed to expand the scale of the farm, but Alu had no skills at all, so she asked Mrs. Taylor and Lisa to take charge together.

Lisa jumped up with joy.

When Mrs. Taylor received the task, she was in a daze.

Aurora grabbed Mrs. Taylor's hands and said, "Don't worry, Aunt Ruolan, let Lisa help you, she is very smart. Busa and Eddie are already familiar with the process, you just need to recruit a few people for them. There is a proposal written in the past, specifically how much money was spent on recruiting, how many materials were prepared, and which range of material money is reasonable, all of which are written. Come on, Aunt Nolan, the only one I can ask is you. You In fact, it is very powerful, you see, you have written recipes in detail and the steps are clear, and the teacher Lili you found is also reliable, as long as you want to do it, you can succeed in anything."

After being bombarded by a rainbow fart, Mrs. Taylor could only bite the bullet and accept the task.

Her social fear has improved a lot, but only for the people in the castle.

On the contrary, Lisa likes to imitate Aurora, becoming more and more cheerful and capable.

In late spring, Aurora set off on a sunny day.

Two hundred ground dragons were brought onto the boat, accompanied by attendants, Susan Triss, Chris's wife and a group of young apprentices who learned how to make bread.

They still have a lot to learn, and they will return to the territory in turn to continue learning in the future.

Everyone is looking forward to the trip.

The big ship set sail with the wind and waves.

Aurora stood at the bow of the ship, looking at the birds flying freely under the blue sky and white clouds. They were very large in size, and when they flew low and at the same height as the ship's first class, they looked a little scary.

Although these birds eat meat, they only love to eat fish. They do not pose any threat to humans, except for their ferocious appearance.

Aurora took a deep breath of the salty smell of the sea, it was a breath of freedom, refreshing.Aurora was very happy that she didn't get seasick, and she had been on the boat for half a day, and she didn't show symptoms of seasickness, which is gratifying.

System: [Have you ever thought that it's because your physical fitness is better and your balance ability is stronger that you don't get seasick. 】

"If you don't tell me, no one will think you are a dumb system." Aurora hated the system in her heart, holding Miguel's hand, and she was nothing more than a winner in life.

Miguel has been behind her as a patron saint.

Avoid curious birds from picking her up.

Miguel dotes on Aurora very much, and everyone can tell that when he catches fish, he will immediately ask her what kind of fish she wants.If the wind is strong, she will wear clothes.Indulge her to run around on the deck, there is a beautiful scenery, and she will stop to let her enjoy it.

His eyes never left his daughter-in-law, and he clings so tightly that everyone else thinks he is insane, which is morbid.

Miguel is not conscious of keeping distance, he is counting down every day, who stipulates that a husband cannot cling to his wife.

Aurora likes him very much.

One is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, as long as they don't dislike each other.

I don't care what outsiders think.

Two days later, the ship called at the first port.

As soon as the flag representing Beichen's territory was hoisted, many servants of the nobles rushed forward, waving their purses to buy land and dragons.

Miguel only brought out ten heads.

The attendants told these people that the number of earth dragons is limited, and they will no longer be sold in the previous form, but will be auctioned on the spot, and the highest bidder will win.

Many servants couldn't make up their own minds, and asked if they could go back and inform the master first.

Miguel shook his head.

The attendant conveyed his meaning, "Our ship docked only because we promised to come again before, and we will leave later and will not stay."

Because there was no way to inform the nobles in advance that it was an auction mode, the servants shy away from bidding too high.Every time a gold division is raised, it is a kind of suffering for them.

even so.

The tallest Di Xinglong was sold for fifty golds, and the lowest one was sold for thirty golds.

Everyone on the boat looked at Miguel with envious eyes. Miguel really married a God of Wealth and returned home. Di Xinglong, the most expensive eight gold company in the market, raised his price by four or five times with a move from the God of Wealth.

The fragrance of money made Aurora seem to be wearing a halo, the kind of halo that shines like gold.

If you please the countess, you may be able to plate yourself with gold.

So pleasing the countess became the daily routine of the servants.

Chris's wife is very good at grasping this speed. She will take the initiative to develop new breads and deliberately appear in front of Aurora more often.She never said flattering words, but respected Aurora everywhere.

If Chris's wife becomes Aurora's personal maid, Susan and Triss may be squeezed out without a place to live.

Fortunately, Chris's wife is in charge of the management of the new store. She is now more valued by Aurora than Chris.

Chris's wife may not be as far-sighted as Chris, but she is the most perceptive, and she can figure out what other people are thinking through expressions and behaviors.Self-taught, very powerful.

This is why Aurora values ​​her.

It's just that as a branch store manager, she won't stay in the imperial capital for a long time. After studying with Lacey for a while, she will return to the territory, and Aurora will give her more important things to do.

Mrs. Chris, who had received many admiring glances from Aurora, became more and more confident. She realized that she was no worse than her husband, but she lacked knowledge. When she finished training in the imperial capital, she would definitely be able to shine and make some achievements in the territory. .

The three ships sailed to a ducal port and stopped.

The Duke's Harbor is much larger than the previous ones, and people come and go.

Many servants of the nobles looked forward to it, but when the ship docked, no one dared to go forward.

They all spread out, meters away from the person in the middle.

That man was the butler of the Duke of Longwy. He raised his proud chin and wanted to invite Miguel to the Duke's castle.

The duke's people should show some face.

But it would not delay the trip of the three boats when a housekeeper came.

Aurora asked to invite the butler to board the boat to talk.

The Duke butler was a little impatient, feeling that Miguel didn't know what was good and what was wrong.

But Miguel is an earl, he is a servant, he is not easy to express dissatisfaction.

But then, it became even more unpleasant.

Aurora got straight to the point, "Sorry, we're in a hurry, I don't know what sir wants to talk about."

The Duke's butler looked at Miguel who was sitting next to Aurora, and was a little surprised that Earl Taylor's house turned out to be a woman's affair?
Miguel narrowed his eyes slightly. His total living age is 80 to [-] years old. There is no so-called machismo.

The Duke's butler looked Aurora up and down, as if evaluating Aurora's ability, suspicion appeared on his face unconsciously.

He looked down on women, and the Duke's housekeeper didn't like to deal with women, but whoever asked the Duke to ask Earl Taylor.

The third-rank official in front of the prime minister's gate, the butler was used to being arrogant in the Duke's castle. He waited for Aurora to ask again, and then took the initiative.

Aurora looked at him with a half-smile and wanted to say that you don't like to talk to me, and I don't want to listen to your nonsense.What the hell, the nobility is not a bureaucratic class, and whoever has a higher title is superior to others.

The current duke can sit on the position of duke because of the merits accumulated by his ancestors.

If you don't have the ability, it's useless to have a title. No noble will try to flatter you just because you have the title of duke.

Do you have to put yourself in a high place when you need someone to ask for something, and wait for the confession?

The behavior of the Duke's butler angered Miguel.

There was no waiting for the two sides to speak again.

Miguel's face darkened, "Get out."

The Duke's steward was stunned for a moment, then said in shock, "You... want me to get lost?"

"Go away." Miguel repeated.

The Duke's butler obviously couldn't see the situation clearly, "Master Earl, I am here to discuss matters with you on behalf of the Duke, you are not afraid that the Duke will blame you."

Miguel sneered, his temper is not known to everyone, as long as no one provokes him, he doesn't bother to care about others.

Even if he blamed him, the Duke would not dare to go to the border to scold him if the emperor was far away from Shan Gao.

The servant standing not far away saw Miguel's furious appearance, and immediately ran over to drive the Duke's butler out of the boat.

The other aristocratic servants below want to laugh but dare not laugh. They are really relieved. They can't understand the virtue of the Duke's housekeeper, which is even more airy than the Duke himself.

The Duke butler pulled off his collar and angrily pushed the attendant away, "I'll go by myself."

"What are you looking at?" He roared to the surroundings, and snorted coldly: "How dare a mere earl not give face to the Duke, I will definitely sue when I go back."

Miguel's eyes were full of sarcasm. The Duke is a ruthless person. He can indulge the Duke's butler to show off his power, but if the butler can't do anything, that's another matter.

Seeing Miguel's cool look, Aurora chuckled, but she never thought that Miguel had this side.

Miguel turned his head, staring at the clear eyes like rice balls, puzzled.

Aurora kissed him on the cheek, "Are you still here?"

"Well, what you said, spread the word."

The auction will continue as usual.

Miguel let people continue to pull the dragon out, let the people under the boat bid.
