375 8.3 Baronet and Baronetess For A Commoner (1/2)
”Sir Robin, these are our findings based on a little snooping around in Fenton and Barkston Ash.” Will.i.am sat with the 2 girls before us and began to take out their stacks of papers from each of their messenger bag as well as their notepads and writing materials.

”Alright, let's begin with the plot of land investments for the 2 settlements.”
”Sir Robin, we had made a purchase of 12 plot of lands in Fenton at a price of 450 shillings each for a total of 5400 shillings. We also hired 24 livestock herders at 2 gold per month which comes to 48 gold coins monthly. Total investment was 5400 shillings or 318 gold coins at Fenton alone.”
”There would be 4 chicken coops and 4 ducks coops for each plot and the total of these feathered livestock equals to 576 of them and each costs 1 shilling each. Eggs could be harvested about 6 dozens daily and be sold at a copper each. We paid 576 shillings for the fowl or close to 29 gold coins.
”Next we had a plot that was shared with 8 dairy goats and 8 sheep that would give us 8 pints of goat's milk every day for 305 days and wool after the sheeps had been shorn every 6 months. The wool sells between 3 to 5 gold coins per catty. The milk could be sold for 1 shilling daily. We had bought 24 dairy goats and 24 sheep for a total of 144 gold coins at 3 gold coins each.”
”Next we bought 12 sows and 4 hogs per plot of land at a cost of 3 gold each for a total of 144 gold pieces. These 12 sows would have at most 10 litters per 6 months and that would lead to land expansion if we intend to establish a pigsty.”
”Last but not least, we had bought 3 dairy cows each per plot of land at a cost of 5 gold coins each. Each dairy cow could produce 21 pints of milk per day for a total of 189 pints daily. Each pint sells for 1 shilling each. We paid a total of 45 gold coins for the cows.”
”Total investments amount to 680 gold coins, where 48 gold coins go to the monthly salaries of the 24 livestock herders while another 10 gold coins go to the monthly feed.”
”Our returns from Fenton alone would be 72 coppers daily from the fowls' eggs and 213 shillings or close to 11 gold coins from the dairy cows and goats milk daily.”
”That's the total report for the settlement of Fenton, Sir Robin. It would be the same as Barkston Ash tomorrow. We could only achieve 1 Town per day as the procuring of the lands take quite a long time.” reported Will.I.am as he closes his report book and filed all the 12 title deeds together into a binding folder.
”No worries, you three could soon be Masters soon and after you had achieved 12 settlements, you could expand to adding 3 fold to your plot of lands after performing a rotation. You understand what I mean by that?”
”Yes, Sir Robin... It means after we acquire 12 plots of lands from each settlement each, we will go the first settlement and then purchase another 24 plots of lands to make it 3 fold, right?” explained Aventina as she had much earlier read the tomes on accounts, business, commerce and trade. The same goes for the 2 of them.
Luckily those tomes were purchased much earlier and these 3 support staffs would be Lord's of the Land soon as they delved themselves into the aspects of the business. My role now is to nurture them and not partake in any of their undertakings.
”Here's the statistics report for Fenton, Sir Robin,” said Alleicea.
”Fenton as a population of 500 settlers and there are 12 nobles staying there. Out of the 12 nobles, was a member of the Church and he is responsible for collecting monthly taxes of 5 shillings from the settlers. No taxes were imposed on the nobles and Church members themselves.”
