Western Fantasy: I can brush entries infinitely

Chapter 10

This trip has come to a successful conclusion.

In the end, he also bought all of Chef Wharton's potatoes, about a hundred catties, and cost less than 15 silver coins. This was a surprise.

Ron ordered the potatoes to be packed and hung on the back of the carriage, and Sig would take care of them all the way, and asked him if he dropped one.

Inside the carriage, Irene couldn't help being curious, and asked, "Master, is this Tibetan ground bean a treasure? Why do you value it so much?"

"We'll know when the time comes." Ron didn't explain too much.

There were no twists and turns on the way back. The carriage stopped steadily at the gate of the mansion. When Ron got off the carriage, Egbert and Abel had already bowed to greet him.

"Welcome Lord Lord to return home."

The two shouted at the same time, and the knights and servants beside them also shouted.

Ron was used to this scene, and he nodded slightly in response. Egbert stepped forward and said, "Your lord, you are finally back. If someone hadn't come to the mansion to say that you are in the star brigade If the leader entertains you, and I send someone to confirm, I will ask Mr. Abel to rescue you."

It seems that Chelsea sent people to come. He is a thoughtful person, no wonder he can control the Star Tour.

"If he really has the intention of murdering me, Abel can't save me. The captain is a third-rank man, so he doesn't know what profession he has." Ron smiled.

"What?!" The two were shocked, and Sig was sweating even more on his forehead.

Ron didn't care. He pointed to the potatoes behind the carriage and ordered, "Egbert, you can ask someone to put this bag in a cool place. Don't let anyone touch it. It will be of great use to me."

"Yes, my lord." Although I don't know what it is, it is Egbert's character to be loyal to the lord.

After giving the order, Ron walked all the way into the mansion. There was a lot of dust along the way, and he needed to take a good bath.

Half an hour later, Ron appeared in the study, which is where he often handles the administrative affairs of the territory.

Irene stayed next to him as before. She changed into a maid costume, and there were a little drops of water on the tip of her hair. She had obviously just showered and hadn't had time to dry her hair yet.

In such an important place as the noble study, people with unclean bodies are not allowed to enter.

Ron glanced at her while flipping through the paperwork, and said, "Go and dry your hair, I don't need you now, and call Joyce by the way."

Hearing this, Irene was very moved. She knew that the young master was worried about her illness, so she said this.

Leaving the study, Irene came to the maids' quarters. Joyce had taken leave today, so she didn't have to work. At this time, she was sitting on the bed and flipping through the books she just bought.

Irene conveyed Ron's words to Joyce, which made her very confused. What is the lord looking for her?

"I see, I'll go after I change my clothes."

Joyce quickly changed into his work clothes, even though he had taken a vacation, but the lord's order could not be refused, and he had to wear the prescribed clothes in the mansion.

After a while, Ron saw Joyce in the study.

"My lord, what are your orders?"

Joyce folded his hands naturally hanging on his abdomen, stood upright five meters in front of the desk, and asked respectfully.

Ron put down his pen and asked, "Do you like reading books? Do you like the stories in the books? Or do you like knowledge?"

Joyce was taken aback, unable to understand the meaning of Ron's question. After thinking for a few seconds, he answered honestly: "My lord, I like both. If I really want to give a definition, I want to know what I don't understand. things."

This time it was Ron's turn to be stunned, and he chuckled, "Well, it's a good interest. However, your idea cannot be realized just by reading the book."

"I know, I just have to do my best." Joyce said without any hesitation.

Ron was silent. He knew that she didn't say the whole thing, because she was just a commoner, an ordinary maid in the baron's mansion, and she couldn't do anything else. Within her ability, she could only understand it by books.

"Okay, let's talk about something else."

Ron paused for a moment, and continued: "You have contributed a lot to this trip, so tell me, what reward do you want."

During this Star Tour trip, Joyce made two actions that satisfied Ron. One was that she was the first to stand up and wanted to test Ron for drugs, and the other was to let Irene relieve the serious atmosphere at the banquet. , so that his next plan can proceed smoothly.

"My lord, I don't need any reward. It is the best reward for you to let me work in the mansion."

"Do you really want nothing? For example, I can give you the right to read in the study."

Ron's words penetrated into Joyce's ears like the sound of nature, and she was shocked, with a slight expression of disbelief on her face.

You must know that nobles place great importance on knowledge and do not allow commoners to get involved. Some basic literacy is okay, but those precious books with covers are definitely not allowed to be read by commoners, because only in this way can the nobles stabilize their power. .

Like the Star Tour Group, they will not sell those books that violate the regulations to the common people, so some really good books are generally not available to the common people, and they are all in the hands of the nobles.

Ron saw Joyce's expression and knew what she was really thinking. He continued, "Don't you like reading books? This is the best opportunity, and it may not come next time."

Joyce struggled, these words seemed to come from heaven, but they came out of Ron's mouth like a devil's whisper, luring her to eat the poisoned cake.

"Thank you, Lord."

Eventually, Joyce caved.

"Well, wise choice."

Ron is not surprised by this result. If the territory wants to develop rapidly, it needs more people like Egbert. During this trip, Ron saw that quality in Joyce, so he chose her. gave her a chance.

"You can come to the study to read after finishing your usual work. Don't disturb me while I'm dealing with government affairs."

Joyce thought about it. Usually, after work in a day, in addition to normal sleep, there is one to two hours of rest time. If you work fast, three hours is enough.

"You have also seen the situation here. You will clean the dust on the bookshelves, and I will leave it to you to organize and summarize the books. If there is no problem, go on, and you will have a new job starting tomorrow." Ron simply ordered, and waved his hand let it go.

But Joyce's legs didn't move, Ron saw it, and asked lightly: "What? Is there a problem?"

"My lord, can I get familiar with the work now?" Joyce asked softly.

Ron: ".OK."

-

Afterwards, Irene found out about this and was happy for Joyce.

Egbert was worried that something bad would happen in the future and spoke to Ron, but was appeased by Ron, and the fact that Joyce could enter the study was confirmed in this way, and no one dared to make irresponsible remarks on the surface.

In the next few days, Seager was arranged by Ron to run errands.Instruct him to send ten catties of good mine to Hadey every day, and if the other party doesn't accept it, he doesn't have to come back.

Under such pressure, Seeger came back late every day and was more tired than usual from training.

Abel and a group of knights also heard about Hadey from Signa, and knew in their hearts that it was the lord who spent a lot of effort to hire a master blacksmith for them.

"Sig, it's up to you whether we can have excellent equipment in the future, and we must let Master Hadey come to our baron's mansion." Ibuprofen and a group of knights patted him on the shoulder and said.

Seeger felt a heavy responsibility, and said solemnly: "Leave it to me!"

-

"My lord, I have heard about these Tibetan ground beans. Do you want to plant them on a large scale in your territory? But this is the first time we have seen this kind of food, and no one knows how to plant it."

In an open space in the mansion, Ron and Egbert stood facing each other. The ground was covered with potatoes, and there were dozens of attendants with hoes in their hands.

"No problem, after three or four months, there will be results." Ron was not worried at all, he slightly raised his head to look at a place, which was the courtyard where the miracle tree - 'Miracle' was located.

"Egbert, it's almost summer." Ron said something irrelevant, which made Egbert confused.

"Yes, my lord, it is also the deadline for you to go to the capital."

"Well. Let's start, plant them all."

With a wave of Ron's hand, a group of attendants began to wave their hoes, plowing the farmland to grow potatoes in the courtyard of the mansion.

Ron stood not far away and watched, but he was actually thinking.After about four months, the planted potatoes will mature. He will not use these mature potatoes for food, but distribute them as new seeds to the residents for planting again.

This requires new fields, he asked Egbert, there are no such fields in the territory, so people need to cultivate new ones.

Ron had a choice in his mind, which was the road from the Baron's Mansion to Cote Town. There were some trees beside the road, but not many. It should be cleared after a few months of cutting down the trees, and it would be very suitable for planting when they are reclaimed.

He told Egbert his thoughts, but Egbert said, "My lord, this will require a lot of manpower and material resources. Even if the baron's mansion pays the money, it may not necessarily recover the cost in the end."

Ron chuckled, "Money is important, but I value future potential more. Egbert, trust me."

"Since the lord said so, I will fully support it." Egbert immediately changed his tone and chose to support it.

"My lord, then I'll go down and arrange this matter."

"Well, let's go."

Ron watched his leaving back and thought silently that although Egbert was somewhat stubborn, in the face of loyalty, stubbornness can be abandoned.

If one day he wants to be a king, Egbert may immediately persuade himself not to do it, and then help deal with the difficulties ahead.

What a cute and handsome old man.

-

Temporary station of the Star Brigade.

Hardy tried his best to send Sig away again, and asked helplessly: "What do you mean by him? What do you need to do to recruit me?"

Wharton asked Cheers: "My lord, are blacksmiths really more popular than cooks?"

Chelsea has a black line.

"Wharton, don't doubt yourself. And Hardy, I told you, the lord is not simple. If you really choose to follow him, it won't be a bad thing." Cheers pointed out Said.

Hadey snorted, "I think he is quite simple, sinister, cunning, and arrogant. He is completely a hateful aristocrat. He even pretended to be a commoner and lied to us, Cheers, you still speak for him!"

"What if I say he did it on purpose?" Cheers smiled mysteriously, causing their hearts to pause for a moment as if being grabbed by someone.

"I guess the purpose of this lord's lord was to come to me from the beginning. Hadey, you are just incidental, but he never revealed his purpose from the beginning to the end, and his deep thoughts are extremely rare." Cheers Look serious.

Hardy's heart tightened, and he said excitedly: "Listen to what you said, then I can't agree!"

Wharton also spoke for him, "Yes, if what the leader said is true, then this lord lord is very scary, and we shouldn't have much contact with it."

Cheers shook his head and said to Hadey: "I think he will have other ways to keep you here, sending you ore is just the beginning."

"No, Captain, didn't you say that his target was you?" Wharton asked strangely.

"Yes, he got the answer he wanted to know. At the beginning, he pretended to be a rich businessman, just to see if our Star Travel Group treats people equally, and if there are other purposes. Then he exposed his identity as the lord, and how? kind of attitude."

Wharton: "Wait, didn't you expose his identity as the lord? The lord said it himself that day."

Cheers shook his head and explained: "This is Arnold's territory on the border of the Carlo Kingdom. There is no adventurer's union, and caravans rarely come here. If you are in the capital, some wealthy merchants will hire knights to protect them. This is very common. But In Arnold's territory, the only one that can have knight entourages is the baron's mansion!"

After hearing Chelsea's analysis, the expressions of Hadey and Wharton changed again and again.Hadey thought of something, and quickly asked: "Sir, did the lord also plan to buy my book when he bargained for the price?"

Cheers frowned and remained silent for a long time, "I don't know."

Hardy's face turned pale, and even the regiment leader didn't know, let alone him. The image of Ron became unpredictable in his mind.

"However, I think you should stay here."

Hadey wanted to say something, Cheers stopped him, and continued, "There are many masters hidden in the three empires, and there are even big figures in the Karo Kingdom. The beautiful woman you met before, I guess she yes."

-

the next day.

Egbert issued a summons to the Baron's Mansion in the three towns of the territory, and soon there were more than 60 people signing up. Ron went to have a look. They were either elderly people over 60 years old, or children under 15 years old.

Such a situation made him silent for a while, and finally Ron ordered those who were really unable to work to go back, and gave them a small sum of money, telling them that if they introduce people who can work, they will give a copper coin for each person they introduce as a reward.

Now, those old people and children are happy, they don't have to work, they can get money with their mouths, is there such a good thing?
The news spread quickly, and the land reclamation team gathered 100 people within half a day and started working.

But Ron is still dissatisfied. There are only 100 people now, and there are too few people. If you want to reclaim all of them, you need to wait until the Year of the Monkey.

He asked Abel to lead the knights to join this big group.

A transcendent's physical ability far exceeds that of ordinary people, and the efficiency of reclaiming wasteland is definitely several times that of ordinary people in the same period of time.

With such a strong labor force, how can there be any reason not to use it?
However, knights have their own dignity. Their bounden duty is to protect the people they serve, and they are unwilling to do these rough jobs.

If Ron forced the order, they would follow it, but he needed to plan something so that they would be willing to cut down the tree.
