The Defeated Dragon

Lester didn't want to disturb the town's lively atmosphere, but eventually he couldn't stand to go to the business district and watch a funny show.

The clown throws a ball on stage, blows a fire, or flips his head.

In his view, these were not fresh at all, but the inhabitants of the town were happy to clap their hands. Lister wanted to go up there and show them the trick of the Three Immortals, so that these people from different walks of life could feel the charm of ancient Chinese cultural traditions.

Absolutely.

It is only possible to think about the fact that nobility cannot do things that are not identical.

Besides, in a world where magicians exist, magic doesn't seem like a miracle.

After watching the play, he left the business district and went to the town administration to avoid the residents of the town being uncomfortable - the lord in front of them could not let go and could not even speak out loud.

People leave but always pay attention to the business force.

Isaiah's reporting on the prices of commodities brought by the merchants, especially those related to production and means of subsistence, is a matter of concern to him.

“A pony needs at least fifty silver coins, which is too expensive.” He frowned and asked.

You know, he traded slaves with Reeves, and a serf was only twenty silver coins.

“It is very expensive indeed, Baron, Coral Island is far from the mainland, there is no suitable feeding area and the breeding of horses has been restricted, so the price of horses remains high. Even Blue Dragon Island horses are priced, and a pony on the mainland may only take a few silver coins. ”

The archipelago, all islands, is naturally unsuitable for grazing horses.

Lester understood that, but didn't want to accept it for a while —— he gave Old Grande three gold coins, originally thought he could buy a bunch of merchandise.

Now it looks like only six ponies can spend it all.

“How many livestock cubs did the merchants bring?” He asked that he had been somewhat discouraged and that he had tried to eat all the livestock and cubs that the merchants had brought, which now appeared to be a luxury.

Apart from the fact that he can buy it, I'm afraid the average resident doesn't have the means to buy it.

“Five ponies, two calves, three lambs, eight piglets, six puppies and five kittens, and ten rabbits. ”

“I gave the old Grande three gold coins, which didn't seem to help, and I couldn't even buy a few livestock.” At this moment, he is eager to sell the black pearls in exchange for livestock - meat is the most nutritious food available, and he hopes to eat meat every day, not counting seafood.

The land does not feed the livestock, his lord, where do you get meat every day!

“Three gold coins do not buy much livestock, but many other commodities are available, and the merchants bring many specialties from the field. ”

“But I told Old Grande that priority was given to horses, five ponies, and two gold coins and fifty silver coins were needed to run out of money for the castle.” Lester thinks he still has two gold coins, and maybe he needs to take them out, and spend them today, leaving a few animals behind.

Isaiah laughed and said, "Lord Baron, I read the transaction record and Old Grande bought only two ponies. The other three were bought. ”

“Who?”

“John Flamble bought one and you must have had an impression. ”

“Turns out it was that tomato farmer, and I rewarded him with a gold coin, which he obviously could afford. Where are the other two? ”

“The Blair family bought one, Marcus bought one, and Gaultai lent it to him. ”

Lester was in a clear mood and bought all the horses, although not all in the castle, as long as he stayed in Flower Town, and if he needed them, he could do whatever he wanted.

But soon he laughed again.

He felt he was too shallow to look at the livestock that the merchant team had brought, and when he sold the black pearls for money, he could go to other cities to buy the livestock - that's what he had planned. As long as there are gold coins, are you afraid you won't be able to buy what you want?

“Isaiah, what do you think the turnover of the merchants will be today? ”

“I guess there are six gold coins. ”

“The turnover of the six gold coins, many merchants who believe in the merchants of the merchants, is ready for the next time. ”

“Of course, traders are like flies, and wherever they can make money, there's always no shortage of them.” When speaking, Isaiah has a natural contempt. This is an unparalleled sense of superiority of the aristocratic class vis-à-vis the civilian population, accompanied by a desire to combat the rising momentum of the civilian population.

Nobility does not allow any class to shake its dominion.

Sometimes businessmen make nobles feel provoked - some of them even have more wealth than nobles. Money can pass through God, there are not many aristocrats who are going bankrupt, marry their daughters to merchants, or marry their daughters to become aristocratic ladies, similar humiliations.

Liszt smiled.

For this class of businessmen, his ideas are in line with those of nobility - both to support and to fight.

……

Back to the castle.

Catching up on lunch time, though he told the kitchen, just a steak, no need to be rich. But by the time you eat, you'll still have meat, vegetables, shiitake mushrooms, seafood, milk, white bread.

“Mrs. Abby didn't go out for a walk? ”

“Sir, Mrs. Abby went out, but half an hour later she returned to the kitchen. She may not be used to the town being too lively, or she may not be able to put down the kitchen work, she is too dedicated and always busy. ”

“You should tell her that I'm not thinking about raising wages for the time being, so she doesn't have to keep herself busy, she has to have her own life. ”

Though adapted to aristocratic status and loved it.

Lester retains the goodness of the modern man, who hopes that even a servant will have a life of his own, rather than devoting himself entirely to his lord. Life should not be just work, work, work, but have its own joy, sorrow, laughter, and a family.

Carter serves Lister's meal.

"For the cook, the kitchen is life, for the servant, the castle is life, sir, you don't always have to think for us. The sun climbs from east to west every day, and the servant is busy from morning to night, and life is everyone's share. ”

That's a very philosophical statement.

Lister was right.

His ideas, which are still separated from this era, his bones have a pursuit of freedom, but class ideas have been branded deep in the minds of everyone in the other world.

A servant does not work. Is that still a servant?

Nobles do not enjoy, is that noble?

So, what Carter said, he didn't mean to rebut or correct. On the contrary, the conscience may be a little overwhelming, but the heart is quite refreshing - if everyone thinks so, the life of the noble lord will be more stable and comfortable - these are the great good people!

Just finishing lunch, getting ready to make fun of Shivering Sam and Bliss, then going to take a nap.

Gaultai suddenly came riding from town and, after seeing Lester, handed over a metal bottle shaped like a wine bottle: "My lord, look at this. The fishermen of Oyster Tun picked it up from the sea. They thought it was made of gold, but I checked it, it didn't look like gold. ”
