Chapter 55 (2/2)
As soon as Donne was refreshed, he forgot about Tina in the blink of an eye and said with a smile: ”I promulgated several new rules yesterday...”
After Donne finished, Fiona was stupid there.
”You... You... Pay the miners for their service!”
Fiona covered her head and her face was tangled. She felt her brain AChE: ”my Lord, how much do you want to spend?”
”They work for me and I pay them. Isn't that normal?”
”But they are in service!”
Fiona said angrily, ”when the residents grow up, they have the obligation to serve the Lord! This is an obligation! A free obligation!”
”Really?”
”Of course! The residents live on the Lord's land, pay taxes to the Lord, serve and even work for the Lord, and the Lord provides shelter for them and their families. It's natural! You pay them a salary. I, I'm really angry with you!”
Fiona stamped her foot angrily: ”and, and you made a decision without consulting me in advance! Do you know it's very difficult for me!”
After a while, Fiona already knew what character Donne was, so she dared to talk to him like that.
If you change to another Lord, Fiona is afraid to make her little temper.
”I don't think so... It's just spending thousands of gold coins, but their enthusiasm for work has improved a lot. It's good.”
”It's very good, but you've made such a start. What else will you do in the future? You still have to plan to rebuild Ellington. Do you still have to pay the reconstruction workers!?”
Donne took it for granted: ”isn't that normal?”
”Very abnormal!”
Fiona was crazy: ”it is the duty of every resident to re plan the town and work together to build it! What is it when you pay them? Build the whole territory with the LORD alone? Not to mention our financial situation in Ellington. Even the owners of other big towns have a hard time building a city. You are a territory!”
”Oh... Then continue to make money...”
”Making money... It's not as simple as you said... Alas!”
Fiona sighed: ”now that you have promised, you can only find a way to improve it. You will really find me a job... But next time, you must discuss it with me in advance!”
”Well, well, listen to you!”
Donne smiled, ”but don't worry about making money. There will be another sum of money in the account soon.”
Fiona was excited when she heard that money was recorded: ”what do you say?”
”Come with me.”
Donne led the way to the outside: ”more than 100 soldiers were recovered from the mine yesterday. They are Baron duvier of caspamiburg. Now I'm going to ask Baron duvier to pay
Redeem these people and ask him for compensation for illegal mining. ”
”This... I can understand the former one, but you think the latter one is too easy.”
Fiona shook her head: ”he may redeem it, but he can never compensate for the income from selling the ore. I know more about the nobles of the empire than you do.”
”Really? I opened my mouth. He can't give it if he doesn't want to.”
Donne said casually, ”Ellington is cheap. No one can take advantage of it.”
That's it!
Fiona looked at Donne's side face and her heart pounded. She liked to see Donne's expression best. It seemed as if no one in the world was his opponent. The attitude of inadvertently disdaining everything was so charming!
Now Fiona understands Tina's feeling a little. If Donne inadvertently said such cruel words, she would probably run away in tears.
I hope I won't meet that day
They came to the prison and let the guard open the door.
”Lord, there are too many soldiers, and they are responsible for the food of more than 100 people. We are under great pressure.”
The guard poured bitter water on Donne. This is why many lords are unwilling to accept the surrender. The surrender can't be used safely and can't play a role. It's better to raise a group of livestock than surrender.
”The expenses here will be reported to me at that time. I need to detail everyone's catering ingredients and the quotation of various ingredients.”
”OK! Two adults, please be careful. It's a little dark and humid here -”
”Ah!”
Before the prison guard finished, Fiona slipped and fell down the stairs!
”Be careful!”
Donne put his arms around her waist, Fiona pressed on Donne tightly, and her face immediately began to turn red.
This feeling of concern is really too happy
Unfortunately, when he got down there, Donne let her go.
This guy!
Fiona stamped her foot angrily. Is she so unattractive!? Don't you know how to hold it for a while!?
How many men are not willing to let go of their hands holding beautiful women. He doesn't feel at all!
Doesn't this guy know the charm of women!?
Fiona stared at Donne suspiciously. Donne didn't realize it, but looked at the soldiers in the dungeon with interest.
These guys don't seem to worry about their situation at all. Although they look a little decadent, they stay in the dungeon one by one, and even a few get together to play Quint.
”I need a messenger.”
Donne said suddenly, ”send a letter to duvier and ask him to pay for you. Who is willing to volunteer?”
The soldiers looked at each other, and one of the guys waved at him: ”Hey! Don't worry about the messenger, Lord Ellington, why don't you play Quint! No one can win me!”
Donne said softly, ”I'm not interested.”
”Er...”
The guy was not calm and muttered: ”I always feel something wrong. Even the wizard master can't resist the charm of the Quint card. He fought with me for 300 rounds. Why doesn't the Lord get on the road...”
