Chapter 39 (2/2)
Danny's mother aunt Sandra grabbed Danny: ”what wine money! Give it to me quickly!”
Dennington wanted to cry without tears: ”Mom! How can you do this!”
”This is for your own good. I'll save you money to marry a daughter-in-law!”
Aunt Sandra said, put the mint she had collected on the scale and looked at Fiona nervously.
”Two four kilos, two silver coins and forty copper coins. Aunt Sandra, please take them.”
Aunt Sandra was immediately happy. She earned two silver coins and forty copper coins in just one afternoon. It was unimaginable when Hogg was in office!
”Lord, what a good man!”
Aunt Sandra said happily, ”but what's the use of Lord buying this Mint? We're sorry if Lord loses money to help us...”
Fiona smiled. As soon as she was ready to answer, she saw Betty behind aunt Sandra. She smiled and said, ”just look around and you'll know.”
Sandra stood next to her with a little doubt, and then saw Betty dragging a bag on the scale with a little effort.
”Four and a half kilograms!”
Fiona exclaimed, ”little girl, you are so capable!”
Betty immediately blushed.
”How do you want to change four silver coins and fifty copper coins?”
Betty said nervously, ”I want to change two silver coins into mints, can I?”
”Yes.”
Fiona said with a smile, took twenty mints for Betty and handed them to her with silver coins: ”put them away.”
Betty took the mints, put them directly into her mouth, showed a happy expression on her face, and then left happily.
”Mint?”
Aunt Sandra looked confused: ”what's that? One is worth ten coppers!”
Similar questions appeared in many people's minds at the same time. With the exchange, after several children exchanged mints, several adults finally became curious and exchanged some mints. As a result, they were immediately stunned.
More and more people are impressed by the charm of mints. Most of the people who can actually exchange mints are children. For adults, they have to consider more. Converting them into silver coins can subsidize their families, which is more important for them.
But children are different. They have no ability to make money. Now they have made money with their own labor. In addition to taking part of it home, they can control the rest freely. Of course, this is a good thing.
Tang en hid aside and observed quietly, especially Elia. After working all afternoon, Elia was standing in the line and talking and laughing with her friends. The adults nearby seemed to be used to it and had no special reaction.
It seems to work well.
Donne thought for a moment and went out.
”Lord!”
”Lord!”
There was a series of voices outside. Now they called Donne, but they meant it.
This makes Donne feel very much. Just a little favor makes them support themselves so much. If, just if Ellington develops more prosperous, what should they react? Are they willing to defend Ellington with their lives?
”Please excuse me.”
Donne waved his hand, smiled at Elia, and then said in a loud voice, ”everyone may wonder why I bought mint.”
Immediately there was silence waiting for Donne's answer.
”Mint grass, as many people know, grows along the emerald river. It grows a lot and has a special smell, but we don't know that mint grass can be eaten and its juice is also useful.”
Donne said with a smile: ”yes, Ellington is very poor, but we are not poor. We have rich land and many treasures here. As long as we find them with our heart, we can find very valuable things.”
”Mint is one of them.”
Donne said loudly, ”I'm telling you a good news. Soon, Ellington will build a workshop, which I call Ellington candy factory. At that time, as long as those who want to work will have their own job. At the same time, I promise you can earn a lot of gold coins, so that everyone can live comfortably and be proud to be a member of Ellington!”
”At the same time, I would also like to announce one thing. The day after tomorrow, 1222 farmers in Ellington can receive agricultural subsidies. The agricultural subsidies are for you to replace farm tools and will not be distributed to you - but at that time, all subsidized farmers can go to Edgar's blacksmith shop to receive a set of iron farm tools for free!”
in an uproar!
Shock!
Almost everyone can't believe their ears!
What did they hear?
Lord, pay to replace iron tools for them!?
The gods are on... Is this, is this true!?
