The Defeated Dragon
Chapter 134 Inauguration of the Consultant in Flower Town
The Grand Duchy of Sapphire inherited the system of the Iron Ridge Kingdom.
Knights are headed by Knights Commander, while officials are headed by advisers.
As Lester's tutor, Gorte was assigned by the Earl to follow Lester to Flower Town after the partition, and all he wanted was a consultancy position.
After all, a tutor can't change what he says. He's a servant.
Marcus, too, is a tutor, but still an obedient knight and a servant. Even Gorte himself is a nobleman, despite being the lowest knight of lords, and he, not even a nobleman, is only a better mixer among the civilian population.
“My lord, would you like to confer on me the position of adviser in Flowertown?” Gorte was a little unbelievable, coming here for six months, and Lester never mentioned the advisor, and he was dying.
He was appointed as an advisor, unexpectedly surprised by the fall of happiness from heaven.
“What, Teacher Gaultai doesn't want to do it? ”
“Yes, of course, how could you not, haha.” The spirit of Gaultai is trembling and the eyebrows are dancing. "I am ready to work for adults anytime, anywhere. Be sure to take care of Flower Town. I will definitely be able to handle the duties of an advisor. I will definitely not be a little lax. ”
“I've seen the attitude of work lately, and you're my tutor, and I trust you," Lester said. Flower Town is my only enclosure and the foundation of my quest for glory, its importance is self-evident, I hope you can take it seriously. ”
Gaultai put away his brilliant smile and caressed his chest with his left hand, solemnly honoring the knight's gift: “As you wish! ”
“You're in charge of Flowertown, my advisor. ”
“At the service of the Lord! ”
There was no solemn appointment ceremony, Flower Town was just a small town in the countryside, so simple that an adviser equivalent to the length of a town was elected.
Technically, the advisor sounds a little better than the governor, and Gaultai's powers have not increased much - the advisor can appoint town officials, which sounds powerful, but the castle is next door, and no official can be appointed to avoid Lester.
However, revenues have increased considerably.
He originally earned 10 copper sheets a day, up to 20 a day. Earn more money, buy lots of extra wine, or buy some furniture for his little family with Frya.
“Congratulations, Consultant!” Isaiah and others greeted Gaultai.
Gaultai's spirit and laughter continue: “For Lord Baron Lester, for the glory of the knight, and for the future of all of us, let us together bring flower towns and build more prosperous riches! ”
People are happy when they are happy.
Gorte, a consultant, devotes the next two days to his work with enthusiasm. Apart from managing specific matters, he has not forgotten Lester's account, making an integrated arrangement for the future planning of Flower Town. To that end, he made a request at the dinner.
“My lord, I intend to conduct another small town census. No, it should be called the Small Town Resource Survey. Firstly, the area of the farmland should be cleared, the agricultural structure of the town of Flowers should be planned, and when 500 serfs arrive, the serfs can be quickly arranged to grow the land. Second, investigate merchant merchandise trafficking and arrange for artisans to operate shops. ”
He waved a small fork, disregarding the noble etiquette, and said passionately: "There are more and more merchants travelling to and from the town. The flower merchants and thorn merchants can sell the town's property again, and our business district will soon prosper, bringing a lot of gold to the castle! ”
“Good thinking, Counsellor Gaultai, make this plan more detailed and leave it to me. ”
“Yes, sir. ”
……
Outside the town hall.
Kostow was walking back and forth, and from time to time he was greeted by passing civilians, who also responded. Now Costo is a small-town celebrity, not the first captain of the Flower Town's first ship, but his tireless quest.
Almost all the younger sons in the family were pulled together by him: "Young man, you have an idea. Learn to sail with me! ”
Even the younger bachelors were pulled together by him: "There are many men and women in Flower Town, you can't marry a wife. Why don't you learn to sail with me, there are countless women in the world outside, and after a boat, you can marry a hard-working, big ass woman and have many sons for you. ”
Most people snorted at Costó's tightness.
The “continental bond” brought about by the nobility gives narrowly sighted civilians natural fear and ignorance of the sea.
So, after countless encounters with the wall, Costó just pulled up to ten single men and twelve teenagers, followed him on a voyage and became a sailor apprentice. And it's free of charge, and if he's charging tuition, it's estimated that no one will come, and he'll have to subsidize a few tons of lunch from time to time.
He would not have received an apprentice had it not been for the Lord's fixed payment of the salaries of his Knights of Teaching team.
Without discouraging Costó, his passion for the sea continues to grow and he trains sailor apprentices of varying ages.
But none of the sailor apprentices came these past two days.
Costó is in a hurry.
da da da.
The horseshoe stepped on the sandstone road and made a crisp noise.
He greeted up and the town counselor came back: "Counselor! ”
“It's Captain Costów. Is there something wrong?” Gaultai looked like a dusty servant and his face was a little purple in the sun.
“My apprentices, all of them, are cutting trees, counsellors, and they need to learn to sail, not be drawn to do something as insignificant as cutting trees. ”
“I'm sorry, Costo, but cutting trees is not irrelevant; it's a matter of the future of the entire town of flowers, as the Lord himself has told us. Your sailing career can wait a few days, you don't need to go sailing anyway, consider yourself on vacation, I don't have time for vacation. ”
Gorte doesn't care about Costó, he just wants to send him away - small towns can't even grow their fields, so there's no time to sail.
However, he underestimated Costó's determination to put the “Lord wants to develop the cause of navigation" behind his mouth, and Costó went with Gorte, wherever Gorte went, wherever he followed, even if Gorte went home. Gorte, forced to do nothing, had to promise him.
“I can draw your twelve teenage sailor apprentices and let them continue to follow you on your voyage, but adult apprentices must cut trees. ”
“Yes!” Costó responded quickly, earning twelve juvenile apprentices, satisfied.
“One more thing, the teenagers are helping out at the tree cutting site, two days a copper plate, and that part of the loss needs to be paid for. ”
“Oh my God, I don't have any money! ”
“Do you keep the teenagers from making money? Their parents will teach you how to be human, Costo. ”
“The cause of navigation is for the glory of the lord, is the town to stand idly by? The money, the town should pay! ”
Another scoundrel peeled, eventually promising that during the logging tournament war, the apprentice lost his wages, which were subsidized by the town.
Costó was only satisfied to board the Flower.
Faced with twelve apprentices, he shouted, “When the tide rises, the Flower will sail to the pier of the future, and we will spend the next few days around the pier! ”
