Chapter 54 (2/2)
Donne paused and continued, ”in addition, in view of durum's cruel behavior, I will give you all three days off from today. In these three days, you can go back to Ellington and have a good rest. After three days, Rogers will lead you back to the mine to continue working.”
”From now on, Rogers is the new manager of the Brussels iron mine.”
Donne finished in one breath and cheered immediately. He was excited by his generosity and kindness. The three-day holiday may be nothing to others, but it is very important to them.
There are too many people here who haven't seen their families for too long. They all want to go home and have a look, but they were embarrassed to speak before.
But I didn't expect the Lord to consider it directly for them.
Lord, it's so kind!
The miners could not help but swear in their hearts that they must work hard after the holiday and strive to earn more gold coins to go home.
Looking at the excited crowd, Donne felt strange. Although he knew that the mining industry made money by squeezing these people's labor force, he was still cruel.
In fact, he wants to set his salary higher, but only 100 gold coins can be bought directly for a ton of iron ore. if the salary is too high, the mine will completely lose its meaning, so now the price is very appropriate.
A man is ruthless. He digs 30 kilograms a day and 900 kilograms a month. Almost a meal, but he only needs to pay three gold coins and nine silver coins. The profit difference is really amazing.
No wonder Baron duvier dared to rob this iron mine at the risk of universal condemnation.
”Now, everyone tidy up and escort these soldiers home.”
At Dunn's command, the men immediately got busy, took off the shackles from the miners, tied up duvier's soldiers, and drove on like ducks.
On the way back, they also cleaned the road according to Donne's requirements. After all, this road will be an important channel for transporting iron ore to Ellington in the future. It must be spacious and flat enough.
By the time they cleared the way back to Ellington, it was already midnight.
”Who?”
As soon as he approached Ellington, the sentry had issued a warning.
”Aaron, it's me, Elsa!”
”Ah! It's the Lord and captain Elsa. They're back - eh!?”
The sentry exclaimed, ”Lord, those soldiers...”
”Don't worry, it's a soldier. Open the door.”
Donne looked at the simple fence and gate and couldn't help shaking his head. The fence would defend against wild animals. It was of no use to people.
Let the guard send the soldiers to prison. After demobilizing the miners, Donne returned to the Lord's house.
Fearing that it would affect other people's sleep, Donne quickly returned to his room.
”Hoo, you can finally have a rest.”
Donne was too lazy to wash his face. He threw himself on the bed as soon as he took off his clothes, and then Donne was stunned.
The body is soft, and you can feel a continuous warm feeling in your hands.
”Ah!?”
A exclamation made Donne dumbfounded: ”Tina!?”
”Lord, Lord!”
Tina blushed and said in panic, ”yes, I'm sorry! I, I waited for you too late and fell asleep accidentally!”
No, no, no, the point is, why are you in my bed!?
Before Donne could speak, Tina said flustered, ”Lord, dinner is cold. I'll heat it up for you!”
With that, Tina, who was guilty, was going to slip away.
”Wait!”
Donne suddenly stopped her.
Tina froze there, her heart pounding wildly.
What does your Lord want to say?
What would he do?
Is it
Donne smiled and said, ”I won't have dinner. Go straight back and have a rest.”
”Oh, oh, okay, okay!”
Stammering Tina covered her face and ran away.
Donne lay back in bed, and there was a smell of women around him, which relaxed his nerves involuntarily.
”Tina... It's really inexplicable. Don't you have a bed?”
Donne shook his head and fell asleep=== PS: it's a good habit to finish reading the voting collection. It's everyone's responsibility to support genuine reading~
