I was a god in the 18th century

Chapter 411 Doing Good Deeds

All matters related to selling the songs were handed over to the editor of the website, so Xia Qingdai didn't have to worry about it herself.

Although the website takes a huge cut, it is worry-free. The editor will handle the details of the cooperation, and the website's finance department will handle the tax. She only needs to sign the electronic contract and then wait quietly for the payment.

After dinner that night, she did not go into her room immediately, but happily shared the good news with Xia Shanglu.

"Ah, you sold another song? That's amazing." Xia Shanglu said he couldn't sell it, he really couldn't. He had worked hard enough, not to mention serving the people during the day, and writing to make money whenever he had free time.

But the speed at which he earns royalties is far slower than the speed at which his sister makes money. It seems that he may be suitable for living off his sister.

"Yes, after deducting the share and taxes, I should still have 43 yuan in my hands. We can then pay off some of the loans in advance."

"Okay, pay it back sooner rather than later." The money was earned by the sister from selling songs, and she was willing to use it to pay off the loan, so Xia Shanglu had no objection. Although this soft rice was delicious, it made him less confident.

Inspired by his younger sister Xia Qingdai that night, Xia Shanglu typed at a very fast speed, until one o'clock in the middle of the night, and updated 10,000 words.

However, Xia Qingdai at this time was enjoying her life as a philanthropist in the eighteenth century.

The cause was that Owen sent his housekeeper Lim to visit the poor and sick families outside the manor on behalf of Fucui Mountain Manor.

To be honest, this kind of family can be seen everywhere in this winter.

If it weren't for Xia Qingdai feeding Fucui Villa from time to time, the tenants here would have been in the same situation. Of course, now because of the generosity of Fucui Villa, the people who depend on the villa for survival will not go hungry.

But outside the villa, there are still countless poor people who are ignorant, poor, hungry and cold.

Owen sent people to help those people not just out of kindness, but also partly for the purpose of preaching.

He wanted everyone around Fucui Villa to convert to his "goddess" from now on.

Although he already knew that Xia Qingdai was not a real god, but a person from the future, through previous observations, he could still be sure that Xia Qingdai cared very much about people's beliefs.

There must be some unknown secrets in this, Xia Qingdai would not do it without a purpose. As her number one "believer", he naturally had to take on the mission of letting her spread the news.

This is something he would do without Xia Qingdai's instructions. Being a useful person to Xia Qingdai is Owen's biggest obsession at the moment.

This matter could be done by the housekeeper and the servants, but after Xia Qingdai heard about it, she expressed her willingness to visit those poor people in person.

Since Xia Qingdai had the leisure time, Owen naturally put down what he was doing and accompanied her.

The two of them got into the off-road vehicle that had been fully charged by Xia Qingdai, and with the guards' carriage leading the way, they headed towards the town together.

The first people they wanted to visit were the poor people living in the town. The gifts they brought to them were all from the true God. For example, the best flour as white as snow, the freshest salmon slices, the modern version of giant shrimps, and the rare cucumber slices in winter. Xia Qingdai bought the flour and cucumbers in the supermarket downstairs from her home, while the shrimps and salmon were delivered by Hema Fresh.

In this era when cold chain technology and transportation are not well developed, it is difficult for people who do not live by the sea to eat fresh seafood. Even for the nobles, not many families can afford to eat seafood delivered at full speed.

But with Xia Qingdai in Fucui Villa, things were different. Seafood was just a small matter. Whether it was salmon or tuna, or the cod in fish and chips that the British ate more, it was very convenient for her to buy them.

For more expensive fish like salmon and tuna, she didn't buy high-quality ones, but their scraps, which cost only more than 20 yuan a box. Feeding them to the Lilliputians can feed everyone in the town.

Because the amount of fish was more than enough for Fucui Villa, the servants didn't feel any pain when Owen ordered the housekeeper to distribute it.

In fact, it was not just distributed to the poor people outside, but Owen also took some of it to the Chinatown department store that was converted from a ranch to sell.

Half of the shops on Chinatown were rented out, and the other half were operated by the villa itself. Owen opened a store called "Oriental God Department Store" which specialized in selling the food fed by Xia Qingdai.

Even in winter, without sufficient cold chain equipment, food preservation is a problem, so it is better to sell it at a high price.

Because the things here have the attribute of "divine objects", they are naturally very popular. Owen divided the market into high-price areas and low-price areas according to market prices, attracting consumers from all walks of life around.

Ever since the "Oriental God Department Store" opened for business, business has been booming.

The gentry would send their servants to make reservations a day in advance, and the common people would of course be more willing to buy the sacred objects if they had the spare money, after all, the prices in the low-price areas were only slightly higher than those in small town department stores.

Because the Oriental God Department Store is relatively high-end, the shops in the small town are not very hostile to it. Of course, even if they are hostile, they dare not jump out and say anything.

The current Fucui Villa is no longer the same as before.

Now that Owen, the new owner of Fucui Villa, has grown up, Xia Qingdai has also roughly figured out the limit of her own ability. In her own territory in the 18th century, she is really not afraid of anyone's suppression and retaliation.

Even if she is not at home, if there is any danger in the original map of the villa, the modified drone will detect it, then automatically start and initiate a water gun battle.

High-pressure water guns are very dangerous to modern people, and they are even more dangerous when facing the villains of Lilliput. In terms of lethality, they are no different from the high-tech weapons of the First and Second World Wars.

Although she only prepared ten liters of water for the high-pressure water gun on the drone, it could easily flood a small town if used to deal with the finger-sized little people.

Therefore, Xia Qingdai didn't worry at all that her base would be stolen by others. Anyone who dared to come and provoke her would be made to never return.

For Owen, being the local sheriff and having his own extra guards, he was confident that he could dominate even without the power of the goddess.

In order to enhance the strength of the villa, there is a warehouse in the basement that was converted into an armory.

Having been to the battlefield, Owen had a fear of insufficient firepower, so he wanted to get weapons as soon as he had money. Britain did not ban civilian weapons, so if he had money, he could naturally get enough firepower in a low-key manner.
