Chapter 58: Collecting Sewage Fees (Please collect, read, and vote)
  But Baron Aldrich also understood the situation. In this study, he was the meat on the chopping board, and the knights around him could not protect him at all.

"I don't want to do anything. Since your dyeing workshop is going to discharge wastewater, I agree with it, but if the wastewater passes through my territory, you have to pay me a sewage fee." Alphonse leaned back in his chair with a smile. , crossed his legs, "This is reasonable, isn't it? As long as you are willing, you can avoid an unnecessary war."

"I will order that the dyeing workshop will no longer discharge wastewater into the river."

Baron Aldrich finally made a concession, but this was not what Alphonse wanted.

He shook his head slowly, "It has been discharging for so many years, right? Baron Aldrich, if you suddenly want to change it, you can ensure that your workers will not make any mistakes. If one day they are lazy and drain the wastewater again, It's been drained into the river, I have to come here to find you again, what a hassle, I'm not in the mood to come again."

In previous lives, a certain country could use a piece of washing powder as a reason to launch a war, that is, because they were strong enough to confuse right and wrong.

Of course Alphonse can do it, but he just needs to find an excuse.

No, it can also be yes.

Dye is very easy to find.

I believe that Baron Aldrich also understands this.

"How many do you want?" Baron Aldrich exhaled from his nostrils like a bull.

"We are all neighbors, and I am embarrassed to charge you too high a fee. How about five thousand gold coins a year?" Alphonse casually said a price.

"This is impossible!" Baron Aldrich shouted, "Your sewage charges are too ridiculous! I would rather close the dyeing mill!"

Was it originally set high?
  Alphonse twirled his chin, thought for a moment, and asked tentatively again, "Then four thousand?"

"This is a price I can't accept! How much do you think a dyeing workshop can earn?!" Baron Aldrich's face turned red with anger, and his beard stood up. "I can give you at most two thousand gold coins! "

"It's missing. How about adding a little more?" Alphonse really couldn't figure out how many gold coins Baron Aldrich's bottom line was, and he didn't really know much about the dyeing shop industry.

"If you are not willing to accept this price! I would rather go to war with you!" Baron Aldrich roared angrily.

"Okay then." Alphonse thought that the money would be in vain anyway, two thousand is only two thousand.

According to what Captain Simon said, the residents did not have any problems with drinking water.

Judging from the furious look on Baron Aldrich's face, he probably wouldn't be able to knock out much.

At worst, the price will increase next year, and it won't be a one-time charge.

With caution in mind, Alphonse followed Baron Aldrich to get the money.

Although Baron Aldrich was reluctant, he didn't do any tricks. He just didn't let Alphonse follow his treasury, but he still moved out a box of gold coins.

Counting was not too troublesome. Baron Aldrich showed Alphonse another method of counting.

Calculated by the weight of gold coins.

He moved out a scale and first weighed a gold coin.

Then put a large number of gold coins on it, put a weight on the other side, and weigh them together to calculate the total amount.

Considering the minting technology of this era, there might be differences. Alfons picked up a few gold coins and weighed them individually. He didn't feel the difference was big, so he probably was accurate.

This is much faster than Mia counting by hand.

As soon as Alphonse left the castle with the box of gold coins in his arms, he saw a large number of soldiers gathering outside, with arrows and crossbows drawn out. This is also expected.

Not afraid at all.

Baron Aldrich is still under Mia's control.

As a host, he always has to see off guests.

Makes sense, doesn't it?
  Kayberry, who still had a slap mark on his face, shouted angrily, "Alphonse! How dare you come to my house and humiliate me? You today..."

"Shut up!" Baron Aldrich yelled, interrupting Kayberry's words.

Seeing his son being stupid and trying to provoke Alphonse, he was furious.

You, me, are still being stared at, how dare you cause trouble? Have you considered my life safety?
  "Get out of the way! Let them go!"

The soldiers immediately made way for them.

Alphonse turned his head and smiled, "Baron Aldrich, you made a wise choice. I hope we can live in harmony in the future. Goodbye."

After that, he took Mia, passed through the crowd, and calmly mounted his horse and left.

"Father." Kaibeli was still a little unwilling.

"Go back!" Baron Aldrich scolded his son angrily, and waved his hand to order the soldiers to disperse.

Back in the castle, Baron Aldrich became angry and roared angrily, "You brat! I want you to know that you have offended the wrong person! I will sue the Senate! I must make you repay me twice as much. Loss! Just wait!"

After leaving the town, Mia finally couldn't help but speak, "Isn't this just robbery with open fire? This violates the code of knights."

"There is no violation."

After being together for so long, Alphonse already knew that Mia was a strict person. Although she had a righteous heart, she didn't know how to be flexible.

"By following me to protect me, you have shown your loyalty to the lord; it was Baron Aldrich who committed evil deeds first and polluted the river. In the face of injustice, you have the courage to fight. This is courage; we serve the people of the territory Speaking can be regarded as exercising justice and protecting the weak; you have indeed safeguarded the honor of the Tartarus family, doesn't this fully comply with the code of knights?"

Alphonse's nonsense made Mia roll her eyes, "Your character is really not like the old lord at all."

"No matter what, I can make the Tartarus family develop better. Isn't that enough? People, don't be bound by rigid rules. You must always be diplomatic and learn to be flexible." Alphonse smiled nonchalantly. .

Mia breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Alphonse's handling method was somewhat inappropriate, after all, it was Baron Aldrich who started the trouble, and Alphonse did use this rogue method to achieve good results.
  The old lord also came to protest, but in the end, the protest had no effect at all, and the five-color flower collar continued to discharge wastewater into the river.

If the old lord was still alive, he would never use war as a threat, and he would not allow the people of the territory to be involved in the war.

but
  Maybe Alphonse is right?
  But his behavior is like a completely different person from the "him" he used to be.

How could Alphonse in the past have such courage and dare to act so recklessly?

In the territory, he dared to be domineering towards the common people, but towards other nobles, he was like a quail.

Even if the strength becomes stronger, a person's character will not undergo such a big reversal.
