The Wizard’s Fairy Tale

Chapter 18: Overhead

   The Adams family and the Mark family are neighbors to some extent, and they are not far apart.

   If the small village of Nisai also has a chain of contempt, then undoubtedly, like the Adams family, they belong to a small group of people at the top of the village, and the Mark family is at the bottom of the village.

   More people, less land, less harvest!

   Can't get enough to eat on weekdays, and the family relies on odd jobs to make ends meet.

   In order to enter the city of Patras for the winter last year, he sold more than half of his own land to Adams, only to make up enough leather gold coins.

   And this year, their family has not enough land to sell to others.

   The family is destined not to enter Patras, and will become a lonely wild race who has fallen outside.

   "Damn untouchables, they are as annoying as a fly, and a Poole coin can make you betray all your dignity." Adams cursed in a low voice, with disdain in his eyes.

   Although he is also a civilian, Adams always feels that he is different from ordinary civilians, and he always feels that he is special.

   He especially admires the manners of the noble master. Although he is not a noble, it does not prevent him from using the eyes of the noble to "treat others".

   Like the old Gretel who can "go up to the sky", Adams is respected.

   But like Mark, who is humble and ant-like, Adams is looking down from aloft, and even a word to Mark will make his mouth dirty.

   At this time, the voice of Mark and his wife Ina talking also came in.

"Mark, why do you stop me from pulling the golden grass? While the lord is still accepting this thing, I will draw more, exchange more Pul coins, and eat more brown bread for the children!" Ina's voice is not clear. solution.

   "My Ina, why are you still pulling the golden grass? Don't pull it! Quick, come with me!" Mark's voice was anxious and unstoppable excitement.

   "Go, where to go?"

   "Go to the Lord Lord! Come on, it's gone when it's late!"

   "Late? Lord Lord wants to stop buying this kind of grass? No, no, I want to change these!"

   Overhearing this, the corner of Adams's mouth raised an arc, and the pain of others made him feel happy.

   Then it didn't take long for the conversation between Mark and his wife to freeze Adams's smile.

   "No! It's... it's..."

   "What is it? Hurry up, I'm so anxious!"

   "It was the Lord Lord who announced that he would recruit some people to make brooms, dustpans, and baskets!"

   "What is a dustpan?"

   "A dustpan, it's just...that's...I don't know, but I know, Lord Lord said, three Pul copper coins are paid every day, and there are extra rewards for making them quickly!"

   "Really? Mark!" Ina shouted excitedly.

   "Has our lord ever told a lie? He said that the gold thread was exchanged for the Poole coin. Did he change it? How dare you question what he said?" Mark's voice was a little bit dissatisfied.

   "No, my dear, I just... I just... what am I going to do now?"

   "Oh, hurry! Come with me! Maybe the lord will recruit enough people when it's late! Seriously, maybe you can learn a craft, and the days will be much better!"

"it is good!"

   Then there was a rush of running sound.

   "What did the baron do?" With this question, Adams walked to the door quickly, opened the door to ask, only to see the back of the Mark family away.

   Adams opened his mouth. After all, he had no chance to say what he wanted to say. He could only watch the Marks disappear into his sight.

After hearing Mark's words, the villagers nearby    also became curious, and approached William's earthen house in twos and threes.

   In the house.

   Merton frowned, and Huster's expression remained unchanged.

   But Old Grete's gaze crossed Adams's body and looked out the door, and suddenly laughed in a low voice, "Hey black, Lord William is really an unexpected lord!"

……………………………………………………………………………………………… ………

   Three days later, in the evening, William once again practiced the new knight breathing method and knight sword, he wiped off the sweat from his forehead, eating white bread in the room, listening to old John and the others.

In the past few days, more and more golden grass was purchased, and the house could not be put down. So under William’s order, all golden grass was moved to the open space next to the house, and the newly transferred craftsman Charles led it. A group of villagers weaves utensils here.

  Moreover, there are some newly picked golden grasses that need to be dried and dried, so that we can weave brooms, dustpans and baskets! It’s more convenient to put it outside!

   As for the safety issue, only let Charles supervise!

   Jacques Porter's deterrence is still there, this group of people are not yet dare to do anything out of the ordinary, so there is no incident of theft of the golden silk grass.

   "My Lord Baron, according to your instructions, we have spent 1 Pis Gold, 1 Franc silver coin and 46 Poole coins in the purchase of Golden Silk Grass in the past few days." Old John reported with pain.

   "Haha, the villagers are very efficient!" William joked happily instead.

"Those untouchables, when they saw the Poole coin, they rushed up like a wild dog in shit... Sorry, Lord Baron, I mean, the villagers' greed for money is unlimited." Old John gritted his teeth and said to his heart. Come out, and when I get back to God, I realize that I said something wrong.

   "Haha, old John, relax. Everyone's desires are unlimited. Only after spending money will one day earn it back. Okay, go on."

   "Sorry, Lord Baron, I was rude just now, thank you for your tolerance!"

Old John paused, swallowed his saliva, and then continued, “We recruited 20 villagers in total and paid them 3 Pul coins each day. There were two other villagers, Mark and his wife Ina. Things are fast and good. In the same time, others can only make two baskets, but they can make three. According to the reward policy you mentioned, I have additionally rewarded them with 2 Pul copper coins per day." At one point, Old John was also a little bit worried, wondering whether William would blame him, although he thought William would not.

   Sure enough, when William heard his reward method, he was not angry, but praised him, "Well done, old John, in fact, you can reward a little bit more. Why don't you buy horse bones for a thousand dollars!"

   "Master Baron, a horse bone does not require a thousand leather gold coins to buy! Anyone who dares to sell you this way is a liar! I want to hang them!"

Hearing William’s praise, Old John felt a lot of peace of mind, and smiled at the corner of his mouth, but when he heard William’s last words, his little heart thumped again and almost jumped out of his throat. He was really afraid that Lord Baron, who was acting unpredictably now, would do such a thing!

   "Haha, I'm just making an analogy!" Seeing Old John's reaction so much, William, who subconsciously used the former secular language, smiled awkwardly.

   "My Lord Baron, this is not an appropriate analogy." Old John actually educates William in a serious way, he is really scared.

   It’s just a drizzle to buy Jinsicao and it doesn’t cost much. But if William really made a thousand leather gold coins to buy a horse bone, old John suddenly felt that the sky was going to fall!

   "I see, Old John. Go ahead." William gave a dry laugh, then changed the subject to let Old John continue to report.

   William is the lord after all, and old John can't say much.

   "In terms of villagers' remuneration, we spent a total of 192 Poole coins."

   William nodded. In other words, did he spend nearly two silver francs in labor remuneration? It doesn't cost much.

"On Charles's side, a total of 215 brooms, 86 dustpans, and 64 baskets were made!" Old John suddenly remembered something, and he glanced at Charles, who was rubbing his hands, and said, "My Lord Baron, you still need Pay Charles 25 Poole coins."

   This is already close to Old John's one day's remuneration. How can Charles's extra income not let Old John's heart taste it?

   are all working for Lord Baron, why is there such a difference?

   "25 Poole copper coins?" William was taken aback, and immediately remembered, "Oh, is that the reward method I said?"

   William asked, "Have you given it to Charles?"

   "Not yet, Lord Baron, I have to wait for you..."

   "Then pay Charles now." William said casually.

   Charles, who was standing quietly next to him, suddenly shrank when he heard this. It turned out that every word the Lord Baron said was true!

   Anyway, 25 Poole coins are a lot of money. You can buy 5 pieces of brown bread, which can be eaten by one person for 15 days.

   "Yes, Lord Baron." Old John's eyes flashed, and after all he did not persuade William to be frugal. Instead, he counted out 25 Poole coins from his pocket and handed them to Charles.

   "Charles, congratulations!"

   "Thank you! Thank you Lord Lord." Charles thanked the old John and bowed to William.

  Old John smiled reservedly, but William waved his hand casually and said, "This is what you deserved!"

   Charles suddenly felt an inexplicable taste.

  At this time, Old John also asked William, "My Lord Baron, do you want to continue buying Golden Grass?"

   "How much do we have golden grass?" William asked after thinking about it.

"There are still about 1,000 bundles, which are full of piles. However, the nearby golden silk grass has been lighted by the villagers. If the golden silk grass is needed, the villagers will go into the dark forest to mine, which will be more dangerous. ."

   "In this case, UU reading www.uukanshu.com will suspend the acquisition of golden silk grass!" William said, for him, talents are the most precious property.

   "Okay, Lord Baron, do the 20 villagers want it?"

   "Continue to let them make baskets, and the remuneration remains the same!" William said that he didn't want this simplest hand workshop to be disbanded.

  Old John frowned, but he still answered, "Yes, Lord Baron."

   "Old John, inform the villagers that the second meeting of the village will be held tomorrow!" William ordered.

   "The second meeting?" Old John questioned.

   "Oh, I mean, I have something new to announce." There were too many meetings in the previous life, and William couldn't help but say.

   "Yes, my lord!" Old John stood up straight.

   "Hmm. Go down." William waved to let Old John and the others leave, and then sat on the chair, not knowing what he was thinking, and sat there for a while, suddenly said.

   "Magic Mirror, what is my current physical fitness?"

   The magic mirror that had been on the table flashed, and a shrill voice appeared in William's mind.

   "Master, master, your physical attributes are as follows: Strength: 2.2, Constitution: 2, Agility: 2.3, Status: Normal!"

"The physical fitness is still the same as last time, and there is still no change? Although there is a better exercise method for knights and perfect exercise under the guidance of the magic mirror, in the end, it is still too short!" William He frowned and murmured in a low voice.

   In fact, he was not as relaxed as he was in front of Old John.

  The two assassins of the Scarlet Hand didn't know who sent them, and the lizardman thing happened in their own territory. Everything made William feel uneasy, but they didn't show it.
