Succubus' Manor

After getting the letter of appointment, Chi Yan and the others set foot on the road back to the city. Before taking over the big city, they had to arrange everything in the territory, choose the people to take away, and prepare the food—— That is, worn Cato powder mixed with wheat bran, bring the tools, and arrange for the people who manage the manor.

In addition to taking away technical talents, key talents like Kadi who are uploaded and distributed should also be taken away.

The managers of the manor should also be selected to take away those who are capable, so among the remaining people, who else can take on the heavy responsibility of managing the manor?

When they went back, the group of "robbers" did not wait for them where they were.

Chi Yan could only sigh.

When Chi Yan's foot stepped on the territory of the manor, he felt at ease and had a feeling of returning home. After staying here for a long time, he also felt nostalgic for the manor.

It didn't rain in the territory today, it was a rare good weather, and it was also a rest day. Men, women, old and children didn't have to work, and they could walk around the territory. They were neatly dressed—even if they were disheveled, it was because of their own aesthetics.

The two little brothers and sisters held hands and jumped out of the car. They came back to sit in Chi Yan's carriage, but they didn't dare to talk to Chi Yan. In total, they only said three sentences along the way. They were stunned by the scene in front of them.

"Brother..." My sister swallowed, her expression blank, as if the scene in front of her could only be seen in a dream.

Even the elder brother who had always been very "mature" couldn't speak. Everything in front of them was beyond their imagination, and they couldn't even believe it was real.

Everything here is novel and abundant.

Everyone who walks around is dressed in neat and decent clothes. These people have smiles on their faces, and there are children who are about the same age as them chasing and playing. There is a big tree in the territory, with swings hanging, and the children line up Going up to play, if you fall down, you are not afraid. The soil around the swing has been loosened by the adults. When you stand up and pat your clothes, you can continue to play with two lines of snot hanging.

The sound of footsteps came from the woods. The brothers and sisters turned their heads to look together, and found a group of people coming out of the woods. This group of people looked strange, tall and short. They even looked like people, but they were about the same size as goblins and dwarves. , Some of these people are empty-handed, but more of them have prey in their hands.

Not to mention the pheasants and hares, someone even beat a wild deer. Two people carried a wild deer, which was still alive and barking non-stop.

When this group of people was about to come out, a few piglets jumped out behind them, and no one chased them away. No matter what, the wild boars followed behind the people's buttocks, so well-behaved that they didn't look like pigs.

On the other side, a group of people came out of the woods, but they knew that they were not hunting. Everyone carried a rattan frame on their backs, and the rattan frame was filled with various mushrooms and fungus. This group of people were all of different races. , but unexpectedly got along very well. People of several races talked and laughed together, and the smiles on their faces could not be covered.

Except for the people, everything here looks so strange, there are pieces of blue and black things thrown on the house, the house is big and beautiful!There are a lot of them, bigger than the town they used to live in. There are fields outside the house. Because it has been harvested, there are only some straws left in the wheat field, and there are still purple leaves and cotton in the field. The ground and the lotus root ground are so far apart that the two siblings cannot see them.

The eldest brother stared at the waterwheel with fascination. The huge waterwheel was pushed and rotated by the water flow, turning continuously, like a huge beast, hard-working, hard-working and steadfast.

There is also a large lake in the territory. The eldest brother didn't know it was a reservoir. He only saw people fetching water from the lake, but the dirty water would not be poured back, but poured into the fields.

The brothers and sisters were so shocked by everything in the territory that they could not speak.

Before they could regain their senses, they were startled by the children running up to them.

Most of these children are orphans, there are fewer children of slaves, and fewer children of civilians. Last year, many of them were pregnant, but before they had children, the orphans knew that the pair of brothers and sisters were also picked up. I'm used to adults bringing their little friends back when they go out for a trip, so I don't recognize my life and don't reject it.

"Where did you come from? Was it lost or sold? Where are your parents?"

The eldest brother stared wide-eyed, wishing to tear the mouth of the boy who asked the question.

But the boy continued: "I was lost by my father, and I was thrown in the woods. If I hadn't been brought back by my father, I would have died a long time ago!"

The eldest brother was a little confused: "You have two fathers?"

The boy proudly said: "My previous father was bad, but now my father is good!"

The elder brother was even more confused, but before he could recover and think clearly, the boy grabbed his wrist. The boy smiled at him, with several teeth missing in his mouth. The elder brother was startled, and just as he was about to struggle, he found himself The younger sister has been taken to the front by several girls.

And the younger sister shouted heartlessly: "Brother! Come here!"

The elder brother had no choice but to take a step forward and be dragged away by the boy.

When he left, he looked back subconsciously. The lord who he didn't dare to look at was standing on the ridge of the field talking to someone. When the autumn wind blew, he saw the lord's long hair blown up, revealing The profile of the opponent.

The elder brother quickly bowed his head, he didn't dare to look any more.

There were people coming and going in the brothel, but he had never seen such a person.

Those noble guests, no matter how they look, are equally cruel and indifferent. They will not treat the people in the brothel as human beings, and they will have no mercy or mercy. The eldest brother looked at the fields and houses in front of him, and then looked down The ground beneath your feet.

The heart he was holding was suddenly placed in his stomach.

This time, did he finally escape from the swamp?

He and his sister should be able to grow up well, right?

The eldest brother was feeling sad, with tears in his eyes, when the boy who was pulling him suddenly said, "You have lice on your head!"

The boy withdrew his hand instantly, and shouted to the adults not far away: "He has lice!"

"Both of them have to boil water to bathe and shave their heads!"

The tears in the elder brother's eyes disappeared in an instant.

Chi Yan was talking to the steward. The number of stewards added up to more than a dozen, and they had been in charge of affairs for almost half their lives. Their status was rather embarrassing. They could not be regarded as complete servants, nor could they be regarded as complete commoners. They also rented fields to cultivate, But you don't have to pay the same taxes as ordinary people.

"Good place." The steward couldn't straighten his back in front of Chi Yan. In the past, the steward could still do his best, get some things from the common people and go back to his home--now he can't, he's too busy to talk about it all day long Well, the civilians are no longer used to their previous stinking problems. After a long time, the people in charge are also very honest.

"After getting fat, there is no need to waste half a year of land." When the manager said this, his eyes were slit, and he was very happy.

He didn't expect that those dirty things could still have this effect after being buried in the ground for a period of time and dug out.

Fertilizers were applied before planting, and there was no such thing as insufficient fertility and inability to cultivate.

After returning to the castle, Chi Yan took off his coat and went to the bathroom to take a bath wearing only a thin coat. The barrel had already been filled with hot water. Chi Yan stepped into the barrel and took a long breath. After he came back today, he put the All the time was spent dealing with the stewards, and those in charge were a bit smart - because Chi Yan had intuition, he was fairly accurate in judging people.

It's okay to order them to do things, but it's terrible to think about letting them manage the manor.

After all, when he was in the big city, the sky was high and the emperor was far away, he couldn't be clear about what happened in the manor.

Then the person who manages the manor must be someone Chi Yan trusts.

Chi Yan took a good bath and couldn't sleep well all night.

Next, everyone in the territory is very busy. They have to steam or roast all the katuo to make them soft, but they can’t be cooked. They can only be ground into powder when they are half-baked.

The tool for grinding powder is a stone mill. The tauren are the best at this job. They are born with great strength, and the katuo powder they grind is very fine.

The sackcloth also started to be cut again, all in one size fits all, the same size.

Even the kids were given jobs—older ones could cut clothes with the adults.

The young ones go to the ground to dig for the katuo, looking for the little katuo that the adults have missed.

The eldest brother took his sister to look for katuo in the field. He had never seen this kind of food before. He didn't know that it was unique to Chi Yan's territory. The adults take it away, and he and his younger sister can keep it for themselves.

The siblings are now bald, and Triss made them two hats as the weather got colder.

Now the two of them live in a "kindergarten". A group of children stay together, and only one very ugly man takes care of them. It is assumed that the other party is a good person.

Because the other party will carefully cut the nails of other children, and will feed them candy, and will never put their hands into the children's clothes, and those children are also very dependent on him, and they will hang on him and let him hug themselves , or riding on a man's neck.

The eldest brother is unwilling to change his name to this man "Dad" with them.

His sister changed her words very quickly - she didn't want to be distinguished from her new friends, besides, she didn't have much impression of her biological father. In her memory, her father never came home, and her mother She is often away, only her brother is with her.

In her young heart, her brother was more like her father.

But brother can't really be her father.

So it's okay to recognize another father.

Hei didn't expect that the new little girl would change her mouth so soon—he didn't come and asked the children to change her mouth, and he didn't know who called him dad first, but one child did, and the other children didn't want to fall behind. Behind the crowd, one by one also called out.

After calling for a long time, the children also sincerely thought that Hei was their father, and Hei also felt in a daze that he had too many sons and daughters.

"Hey, here's the sugar." Hei fed his younger sister a piece of candy, which was dyed with vegetable juice. It was green, very similar to a gemstone, beautiful and sweet, and the younger sister was quickly captured. Reluctant to eat, he looked at it for a long time before trotting to his elder brother.

The younger sister stepped on her feet and brought the candy to her brother's mouth: "Brother, you eat."

——This silly little sister sold herself to someone else to be her daughter for a piece of candy.

The elder brother looked at his younger sister helplessly, and was reluctant to scold him. He was just such a family member, so he could only recognize her. The younger sister became his daughter, so it was not so difficult for him to call him father.

So Hei had two more children. After greeting the children for dinner, he took the children to play on the swing.

From this moment on, the siblings finally became "children".

Not the two trembling "young prostitutes" in the brothel who depended on each other for their lives.

Early the next morning, it started to rain again. Autumn is not good at all. It rains endlessly. Fortunately, the common people harvested a lot of food, and the rent for Chi Yan was not high. As for the tax As Chi Yan's compensation for taking over the big city, the manor doesn't have to pay taxes to the Holy Court for three years.

Therefore, in autumn and winter, civilians can have a good rest. If they want to find some work, there are many jobs for them to choose from.

Chi Yan was discussing with the housekeeper who should be taken away: "I don't bring the blacksmiths, the weapons still have to be shot in the manor, and when it stabilizes there, I can come back and bring people when I can blacksmith."

"Those who spin and weave must take away a batch, and so do those who retting."

"There are also those who make sugar." Chi Yan calculated that there were not many people to take away.

The seeds have to be taken away. The most troublesome thing is to appoint a person to manage the manor. In fact, the butler is the best candidate. When Chi Yan didn't come, the manor was in charge of the manor. It's just that Chi Yan looked at the butler, so he knew that the butler was not. Will be willing to stay, although Chi Yan opened his mouth, the housekeeper will definitely not refuse.

But for this old man, life is getting worse day by day, and when Chi Yan is gone, they will spend even fewer days together.

Chi Yan thought about it for a while, then suddenly asked, "What do you think of Dahe?"

Dahe's vision has been cultivated, and no one in the manor will reject his status as a goblin, but he is a slave, even if he has the ability to manage the manor, the common people will find it difficult to convince him.

So this idea was rejected by Chi Yan himself.

The butler suddenly proposed a candidate: "Where is Dort?"

Chi Yan almost didn't remember this candidate. After thinking about it carefully, he felt that Dot was not a bad candidate.

Dort was born as a commoner, so he could barely be regarded as his personal servant, and for a long time before, Dort was responsible for communicating with the steward. His popularity is also good, and the biggest advantage is that even if he does not open the third gear Brainwashed, his loyalty to Chi Yan is beyond doubt.

Chi Yan hesitated: "Will Kadi be sad?"

After all, Cardi is his serious personal servant, and it seems unnecessary for him not to ask about things like managing the manor.

Although Kadi would not go against his will, and he would certainly not be resentful, but Chi Yan thought about it in his own shoes, and felt that he would be unhappy too.

The butler shook his head: "My lord, Kadi won't be sad."

When Cardi knew that he was going to be taken away, and Dort was going to stay, maybe he would dance happily on the spot.

Chi Yan: "Why?"

After all, managing a manor is definitely better than being a servant.

The butler smiled: "My lord, I would rather stay by the master's side than manage a manor."

What is the use of managing the estate?Whether it is a housekeeper or a personal servant, they are all born by the lord. Without the lord, they are just water without roots.

It's just that Chi Yan doesn't understand this truth, so the housekeeper didn't elaborate. After all, Chi Yan doesn't need to understand this, so why waste Chi Yan's time?

Those who were to be taken away were quickly selected, and only then did the people in the territory know that their lord was about to leave here, go to another place, and govern another piece of land.

People's emotions were extremely depressed, and from the moment they heard the news, no one put a smile on their faces.

"Are adults really leaving?" People sat together, and chatting every night was their regular program, but there was only one chat content these days.

"Everyone has been selected, and they must leave."

"I wasn't selected..." The goblin was depressed.

The dwarf beside him patted him on the shoulder: "Maybe you will have a chance to go there in the future!"

"I don't know what that city looks like."

"It must be good! Would someone let adults go to bad territory? Adults deserve the best!"

"Renee, have you been chosen?"

Renee took a mouthful of the roasted Katuo, and seeing everyone looking at her, she nodded uncomfortably: "Yes."

She and Dot have been outside for a long time and know the situation outside, so besides Dot, she and Bert will also go there this time.

And Burt will bring his parents and younger brother.

People looked at Renee full of envy: "You are so lucky."

"I also want to go with the adults."

Renee said at this time: "The outside is very messy, dirty, and poor. Many people can only dig grass roots and bark to eat. If you go there, you will suffer the same. There is no such a good house in the territory, and there is not so much wheat. And Katuo, people still fight each other, and there are bandits nearby..."

people:"……"

Renee thought for a while: "My lord chose us for a reason. When that city gets better, my lord will take you over."

"But you'd better stay here."

Renee said in detail: "I can't tell what's going on outside! It's safe for you to stay here, and you have such a good house to live in. If you go to other places, you won't have any. It's not easy to build a house there."

People heard Renee say a lot of things, and felt dizzy that what Renee said was very reasonable!

They managed to live a stable life here, with more and more food reserves, and a reservoir, even if they encountered a natural disaster, they could carry it through, but once they went to another place, it would be uncertain.

But the reason is this. If they really have to make a choice, they are still willing to go with the lord.

"With the lord here, we can feel at ease!"

"That is, if there is no Lord Lord, I must have died long ago."

"The adults have done so much for us, and we are willing to follow the adults to suffer."

It's a pity that they wanted to suffer, and Chi Yan was unwilling to take them with him.

Dort also knew at this time that he was going to take over the manor.

Chi Yan said to him very gently: "Now the territory is on the right track. If there is anything that needs to be done, I will send people back the drawings. Don't worry."

Dort's eyes were red, and there was no trace of joy on his face. He thought blankly and desperately: "My lord, what does this mean? Does he not want me? Is it because I am not capable enough, or am I not working hard enough? Why did your lord take Kadi away? But you want me to stay?"

Seeing his appearance, Chi Yan quickly praised: "It is because you are very capable that I let you take care of this place. This manor is my painstaking effort, and it is not easy to build, so I have to choose a capable and talented man. Someone who is smart and loyal to me is in charge."

"Only such a person will not disappoint my expectations."

Dort said in a muffled voice: "My lord, Cady is also very capable."

Kadi, who was originally standing on the side with a blank expression, froze with joy in his eyes, he almost thought he heard it wrong!

This Dot, usually looks thick eyebrows, very honest, did not expect to be so scheming!

So Kadi quickly said: "My lord, I am not as good as Dot, Dot is much smarter than me! I am so stupid, I have to stay by your side!"

Chi Yan: "..."

Dort: "Kady has been with you longer than me, and has received your teachings. He is more suitable than me..."

The butler couldn't listen anymore, he stared, and both Dot and Cady shut their mouths.

"You have to do whatever your lord tells you to do. Is there still room for you to bargain?!" The housekeeper pursed his lips tightly. Looking at the two young men, he felt that his education was not adequate.

The housekeeper scolded: "Who do you think you are? Which noble young master are you? You are just servants. Whatever the master asks you to do, you have to do! How dare you bargain in front of the adults?"

Dort and Cady bowed their heads together, they were often reprimanded by the housekeeper before.

It's just that the butler's temper seems to be much better in the past two years, and he seldom reprimands the servants, and they no longer tremble with fear when they see the butler like before.

The housekeeper snorted coldly: "Since you can't see your identities clearly, stay here!"

"Hasn't your lord found a suitable person yet? Don't take yourself too seriously!"

Chi Yan blinked and looked at the butler.

If only he had the aura of a housekeeper!He's not very good at teaching people.

"Get out." The steward said to them, "Go back and reflect on yourself, and come back to me tomorrow."

Chi Yan also said: "Go out, go back and think about it."

After Dot and Kadi left, the butler changed his clothes and said to Chi Yan kindly, "My lord, you really don't have to be too kind to them."

Chi Yan: "...It's not about being kind or not, the main thing is that I don't know how to train people!"

He has no chance to practice training others.

Steward: "You don't have to worry about this, how can the lord train people himself?"

The butler felt that Chi Yan was like a lord.

The lord only needs to be a "good guy", and other people will naturally be the "bad guy".

The butler, Lao Huai, looked at Chi Yan comfortingly, and felt that there was no one more suitable to be a lord than Chi Yan in this world.
