Succubus' Manor

"Father." The woman had brown curly hair. She was young and beautiful, but she was wearing men's clothes, and she was tying her hair while letting the servants move the cloth to the ox cart.

Old York: "Lilia, come here, come to Daddy."

Lilia trotted to Old York.

"We need to find a place." Old York blushed. He has been here for so long and has been begging for a living in the hands of Old Bob. Finally, Old Bob disappeared. He got such a chance to stand up, and he couldn't let it go no matter what. Pass.

Lilia: "Where are you looking?"

Old York took out the wine bottle he carried with him, took a sip of the wine and said, "I just went to see the lord, and he told me to build a cloth market."

Lilia was taken aback for a moment, and then she laughed excitedly, but soon she restrained her smile: "What about Uncle Bob?"

Old York snorted: "He? No one knows where he is now. When he appears, our market must have been built!"

Old York is a smart man, his mother is a servant of a big businessman, if you dig deeper, he should be the illegitimate son of that big businessman, but he didn't get any benefits of being the son of the other party, he just told him Like the children of other maids, they have to work since they were young.

When he was 14 years old, he fell in love with the merchant's daughter.

The big businessman obviously forgot that he might be his illegitimate son. Seeing that he was smart, capable and loyal, he also moved his daughter to marry him. Although Old York was just a poor boy at that time, he was very smart and always I can help big businessmen when they go out to discuss business, and cooperate with them to negotiate a lot of business.

In this way, he married his wife at the age of 15, and his wife gave birth to a son for him in the second year. However, the child had brain problems. Not only was he in poor health, he could not speak until he was five years old. After that, he had three more children. Daughter, the daughters are all healthy, and one of them is still very smart, even smarter than he was back then.

After the big businessman died, he tried his best to kill the businessman's two sons, and successfully obtained the big businessman's property.

Gradually it became the old York who is respected everywhere he goes.

Before the age of 40, Old York had been traveling all over the world. His only son had mental problems, so he gradually kept his daughter by his side. He didn't trust his son-in-law, because of his own example, so he asked his daughter not to marry for the rest of his life before he could succeed him. the property of.

Fortunately, my daughter has no interest in marriage.

Lilia thought quickly: "Father, let's find out the place first and divide the stalls. I'll go find the uncles."

The uncle is naturally not a biological uncle, but an uncle whom the family recognized in order to integrate quickly after they came here.

Lilia's two older sisters also married two of their sons.

If it wasn't for the sudden plague, they should be married by now.

Old York patted his daughter on the shoulder: "Go quickly."

He prevented his daughter from getting married, but he did not prevent her from finding a lover. The children he gave birth to were all named after their family name, but men were never allowed to enter the gate of their house.

In order to guard against the sudden appearance of Old Bob, not only Old York, but the other two businessmen also found a suitable place as quickly as possible, quickly demarcated the land boundary, and then began to recruit vendors.

"Father, few people are willing to come here." Lilia said worriedly while eating, "If they don't come to the market, they don't have to pay booth fees or management fees. It's cheaper than coming to the market."

Old York glanced at his silly son who was playing with a fork and didn't eat. He drank his water and said to Lilia, "That's because we don't give you many benefits."

Lilia: "Giving them too many benefits will feed their appetites. Only when they are almost treated to them at the beginning will they be bought by a little bit of benefits."

"That's because they wanted us, and now we need them," said Yorke Sr.

Lilia muttered softly, "There are more troubles than benefits."

Old York smiled and said, "Silly girl, do you think we can really benefit from setting up the market? This lord is not like the old Earl."

Lilia: "Then why are we still doing so many things?!"

The old God of York is here: "Lilia, don't just look for immediate benefits, as long as we are not too greedy and take less, good days are yet to come, even if that lord kills a donkey, he won't kill it. Obviously, after all, he still relies on us businessmen."

"We don't make mistakes, and we have such credits. Even if we can't become the second old Bob in the future, we won't live worse than before."

Old York glanced at his daughter, how similar she was when he was young, as smart, as greedy, as fierce, but she was still too young, and he needed more time to teach her.

Lilia didn't understand why her father, who was always greedy and aggressive, suddenly lost his fighting spirit.

But she thought that the reason for all this was the new lord, so she made up her mind that she must meet the lord in the future.

In Chi Yan's opinion, the progress of the market was going smoothly. He didn't know what Old York and the others had promised to the vendors in private, but within five days, even the most difficult to attract people, the vegetable and meat market, the stalls Almost all rented out.

Chi Yan felt that he should create jobs. With a market, there must be buyers. If money does not circulate, it is just a useless piece of metal.

Although Chi Yan doesn't have much food in his hands, he still has a lot of money. Sugar and wine are luxury goods, and the lowest exchange currency is silver coins, while ordinary people use copper coins for their daily expenses. Especially now, silver is better than copper expensive.

In the past, one silver coin could be exchanged for one thousand copper coins, but now one silver coin can be exchanged for about one thousand and one hundred copper coins, and the value of gold coins is even higher.

Chi Yan took out hundreds of gold coins and asked Kadi to go to merchants to exchange them for copper coins. Then he raised a tall man from the pile of dwarfs and selected a man who knew the rules from the guards. This man was named Burris, and he could become The guard was purely accidental - he was originally feeding the horses in the castle.

Not even a coachman, he is only responsible for feeding and brushing the horses and cleaning the stables.

All the dirty work is his, but all the credit goes to the coachman, and the things that show his face are all done by the coachman.

But he is not without gains. He has a strong physique, looks good, and is honest and honest, so he was spotted by the cook in the castle. Under the operation of the cook, he can have what he is now. Decent work.

The guards are all relatives, and no one has to look down on anyone. They are all incompetent, so Burris has a good life inside.

Maybe because he has a conscience, so he doesn't exploit the poor very much, and never asks for money from the poor's stalls, but he also has a little cleverness, I don't know if he thought of it himself, or the cook reminded him, although he doesn't charge money , but will grab something cheap from the poor man's stall.

In this way, he is still "collaborating" with other guards and will not be targeted by the guards.

Chi Yan also fell in love with his conscience.

"I will recruit some people." Chi Yan said, "You don't need to teach them too much, just let them know the rules."

Chi Yan was going to let Burris teach them the rules first, and then teach them the skills of fighting after they left Kleist.

He didn't intend to let Kleist teach it himself. Kleist had no patience with others except Chi Yan.

Just in case, it's better to be safe.

Boris wanted to refuse, but he didn't dare to refuse. He walked with his hands and feet, thinking he was dreaming.

It's not enough to just add new guard posts, Chi Yan has to find a way to spend his money.

Originally, Chi Yan planned to build a breeding farm, but he himself rejected this idea before. The city has a large population, dense buildings, and is a transportation hub. Setting up a breeding farm will actually hinder the development.

Especially with such a large population, once there is a chicken plague, it is not just a joke.

That being the case, Chi Yan wanted to find a new job, but there was no shortage of supplies and food. People in the city now eat all kinds of beans, and boiled beans can fill their stomachs with a little salt.

Chi Yan thought about it, and finally decided to do infrastructure construction.

Although it will snow soon, this is the least demanding and easiest job he can think of at this stage.

Anyone with hands and feet can do it.

And the management is also convenient. With so many demons, even if they can't do complicated work, it is always possible to supervise people's road construction.

Chi Yan called all the demons to the open space behind the castle. These days, the rations of the demons are all from Chi Yan's side. They eat and sleep every day, and they dare not go out to cause trouble. They have long been idle. , Now I heard that there is something to do, but they are all willing to work.

Chi Yan knew that they couldn't remember what he said in too much detail, so he just roughly told them how to look at people, how to check and accept, and how to pay them.

The demons are all people who have worked and are familiar with this set, so Chi Yan doesn't need to go into too much detail.

"I hope they don't cause trouble." Chi Yan was still a little uneasy, and was still talking to Kleist before going to sleep.

Kleist's trainers have recently learned from his experience. In his opinion, those knights and guards are all vulnerable and stupid like pigs—no, pigs are much smarter than them, and they are also extremely timid. Show off your might to the weak.

But there is also a little advantage, that is, they have been beaten too much, they have given up thinking, and they are all very obedient, and they can do whatever they are asked to do, and they have made rapid progress.

Kleist: "They won't cause trouble."

Chi Yan looked at Kleist: "Why are you so sure?"

Kleist smiled: "I'm here, they dare not."

After hearing this, Chi Yan was not relieved, but even more worried: "What about the manor and Saket? You're not here, the demons there..."

Kleist: "You brought all the most aggressive ones here. The remaining ones are small in number and not very aggressive. If something really happened, it would have happened long ago, and it won't wait until now."

Kleist sighed: "Hey, don't think too much, go to sleep."

Now that Amos has Kadi following him wherever he goes, he naturally doesn't think it's because Kadi admires him and insists on being a follower. He knows very well that Kadi is going to replace him, but Kadi still needs time Familiar with the personnel structure of this city and how to deal with the people here.

Amos wanted to let Kadi go, but Kadi is the lord's man, a truly capable person, so not only he couldn't let Kadi go, but he had to hold him, hoping that the lord would not need him in the future, Kadi Can say a few nice words for him.

Amos felt very sad. He was not yet 25 years old, but he was ready to be replaced at any time.

"Where are you going?" Kadi walked down the street with Amos.

Amos took a deep breath and suppressed his discomfort: "Go to those in charge, each of them is in charge of a district."

Cardi nodded and said blankly: "Then go faster, two-year-old babies can walk faster than you."

Amos: "..."

The managers respected Amos very much, and the middle managers didn't know much about the upper management, so in their eyes, Amos who served the lord was a great man.

Amos explained what Chi Yan ordered him very carefully, and Kadi added beside him: "It will start tomorrow, the sooner the better."

Only then did the manager notice Kadi.

He also thought that Kadi was a servant in the castle under the control of Amos, but no servant could get past the steward.

So this newcomer must have a high status.

Kadi introduced himself: "My name is Kadi, and I am the lord's personal servant."

The steward glanced at Amos subconsciously, and found that although Amos had a bad face, he did not stop Kadi from speaking, so he understood in his heart.

"I will definitely let those idiots work earlier." The manager smiled flatteringly.

Kadi continued: "People who build roads can get one copper coin every day as long as they complete the task. If they complete more tasks, they will be given more copper coins according to the excess."

Although the manager did not lack this small amount of money, he was still frightened.

A copper coin!Perhaps in ordinary times, this copper coin is not much. After all, moving goods for merchants can earn two or three copper coins a day, but now is not an ordinary time, and many people cannot find jobs.

At least a copper coin can be exchanged for a few beans.

If you eat less, you can save some money.

Cady didn't care what the steward was feeling at the moment, he just said: "Get things done early, and you will be rewarded, but if other stewards get things done and you don't, then you will be punished. "

Cardi smiled: "You don't want to be punished."

The manager hurriedly bowed his head: "I will, as soon as possible, definitely."

In just a few words, Amos found that the steward's fear and respect for Kadi had surpassed him.

Probably because they were overripe.

Amos comforted himself.

Because the manager is too familiar with himself, he is not so afraid of himself.

After leaving the house in charge, Amos muttered in a low voice, "I really don't know what I used to do."

Cardi heard it, and he looked straight ahead: "I used to be a valet, but I'm not your lord's personal valet."

Amos reacted for a while before realizing that Kadi was answering the question he had just asked.

Kadi knew what Amos was thinking. He said, "He is afraid of me when he sees me. It's not because he saw me for the first time, but because you are so stupid."

Amos finally couldn't help it: "Where am I stupid? I have been here for so many years, it is because I know them too well that they..."

Cardi sneered: "Losers always make excuses for themselves, they just don't want to admit their mistakes."

"You only give them benefits, but don't teach them a lesson. Why should they be in awe of you?"

However, Kadi was not kind enough to teach Amos, who seemed like an enemy but not a friend. They still had other things to do, so they rushed to the next house without stopping.

The stewards are quicker than the guards. This position is much more important than the guards. Although they are also related to a certain extent, they have learned from their elders since they were young. Whether it is doing practical things or fooling the lord, they have their own ways. a set of methods.

When it's time to do something practical, they will do it.

They are also good at seizing the moment when they are deceiving.

Those in charge first ask the people who work for them to notify each household to send a person out, and then call these people together. The people in charge will not go into so much detail, they only emphasize one point—to do this job , can make money.

May and Yarlin were also among the crowd, they held hands and listened to what the steward had to say.

"One copper coin a day." The manager didn't say that you can get rewards for doing more, but it's too troublesome to say, and you have to tell them in detail how much more you do to get rewards. In short, one copper coin a day is quite a lot.

Mei and Yarlin looked at each other and raised their hands together: "We're going!"

In the end, everyone raised their hands and asked loudly whether there was only one person in the family, or they could all go.

The person in charge: "You can go, but don't go if you don't have the strength, lest you fall over there and have to be carried away!"

After the crowd dispersed, Mei and Yarlin finally had smiles on their faces. They have been setting up stalls recently, but they dare not do so openly. Then they will ship the things to the other party's door, and when the time comes, they will pay with one hand and deliver the goods with the other.

Unfortunately, they haven't done a single deal for so many days, not even a single chair.

They only dared to sell the cheapest beans these days. Although Mei's mother recovered from her illness, her body was still affected.

Mei is worried about her mother going out, so she does all the work inside and outside the house, but the money is getting less and less, and it is about to bottom out.

Yarlin's family was not much better either. Although Yarlin's father was still alive, he couldn't find a job either.

"It's all right now!" Mei had tears in her eyes, "I can make money now."

Yarlin really wanted to say that he could work more and support Mei, but he couldn't say that at this moment—there were three people in his family, and he and his father went out to work, and the copper coins they got were used to buy beans, and He has to take care of his mother, and both he and his father are men and eat more than women.

He couldn't promise, so he could only say in a muffled voice, "Mei, you'll be fine."

Mei nodded fiercely. She never thought of relying on Yarlin. She is the only daughter in her family. She matured earlier than her peers since she was a child. She knew that she could not rely on anyone, but herself.

Yaerlin took care of her and comforted her during her most difficult time, which was already very good, and she couldn't ask the other party to do more.

In the middle of the night, the demons held wooden sticks and used them to divide each area. Except for a few streets near the market, these streets to be repaired were not allowed to have cars and horses crossing the road. Although the lines drawn by the demons were It's winding, but each area is about the same size, so it's considered a pass.

Each person is responsible for an area, and the area is a copper coin for one day. If they can find tools and several people work together, the work will be faster.

The demons were also allotted a small wooden sign, and they handed these wooden signs to the workers every day. When checking acceptance at night, they only needed to record behind this wooden sign, and then gave the copper coins to each other, and they would come back the next day. Hand out the wooden sign.

As long as a person can complete the task every day, he can get an extra copper coin at the end of the month.

There are also lazy people, but the eyes of the demons are very sharp. It may not be good to ask them to count money, but let them catch lazy people, and they will definitely catch one.

But when they see people being lazy, they will not throw them out directly, but say to the other party: "If you can't fix this place today, you won't get copper coins. When you fix this place, when can you get it?" got it."

The one who was lazy was a middle-aged man. Although he was not very strong, he looked much stronger than the demons who reminded him.

He knew that these ugly monsters were not in charge, and he had no respect for them.

He spat and said, "The steward said, you can get a copper coin every day! You can't take your word for it!"

He yelled too loudly, and the people around him didn't know what happened just now, they just thought they were going to lose the copper coin.

The middle-aged man saw that the other party was a clumsy fool, he snorted and said: "You can not give it to me today, and you can not give it to them tomorrow, or are you going to not give it to anyone?!"

"You can't do that!" Someone put down the big rock in his hand.

They repaired the road by tamping the ground with heavy objects, which was very laborious and laborious.

This copper coin was not easy to earn.

"You can't swallow our money!"

"That's our hard-earned money!"

"It's our life-saving money!"

The clumsy Demon Race was suddenly condemned by words and pens. He stood there blankly, knowing for the first time what it means to reverse black and white.

He didn't know how to solve it, didn't know how to make these people shut up, just when he was about to kill the middle-aged man who spoke first, a short man suddenly stood in front of him.

Dahe turned his head and smiled at the demons: "Don't worry, I'll take care of it."

The goblin boy followed behind Dahe, and they were always together recently, almost becoming conjoined twins.

The goblin boy swallowed, feeling that his life might be accounted for here today.

The bewildered Demon Race—that is, Gore, suddenly felt that the small Dahe looked so tall from behind!
