Chapter 277 Busy
Kaa, the butler, came towards me with parchment in his hand.
"Master Field, I have encountered something. Logically speaking, I should reject it sternly, but it may be profitable."
"What good news." Field raised his eyebrows.
"There are free people who want to buy some kunkun, but the livestock are your personal property."
"Ah, what are you doing? There are actually little black men in the Night Territory."
Field couldn't help laughing, but seeing Kaa's confused look on his face, Field laughed humorlessly and returned to seriousness: "This is a good thing. It can enhance the people's ability to resist risks and increase the output of the territory."
"Yes, my lord, we can also set up a series of taxes, such as livestock tax and chicken manure tax, and then force them to hand over eggs to us every month."
Kaa slapped his fist, his eyes shining: "Blast the gold coins of those untouchables!"
"You know how to exploit, but we don't need to do this. From now on, we can just collect commodity taxes. Excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes will only hurt productivity."
Field didn't want to lose a small amount, so he made a false push with both hands: "Except for horses, cows, giant wolves and spiders, other animals are allowed to be bought and sold by the territorial residents. Please set a price for me."
"Well, I'm sorry. My lord, are you really not considering adding more taxes?"
Field waved his hand: "We don't need it for the time being, and we can't squeeze out a lot of money."
"Speaking of spiders, how is the enclosure for the Rose Spider going?"
Thinking of the terrifying appearance of the giant spider, Kaa shrank in fear: "According to your instructions, we built the animal pen in the industrial area, but with all due respect, it has almost become a forbidden area, and the workers are too scared to wear it. Pants."
Field was confused: "No pants?"
"Yeah, because I get scared and pee at every turn, so it's uncomfortable to wear pants."
"Haha, go to the big winery and put up announcements to recruit brave subjects, the reward will be 20% higher." Field stretched out two fingers and said, "As long as there are shiny coins, even if you want to swim in the lava, there will be people there." Go."
Although he didn't know why the lord raised spiders, Kaa still chose to carry out the plan.
"One last thing, my lord, the Nightfall is growing stronger under your leadership, but we need more advisors."
Although Kaa had a taste of power, the huge scale of two thousand people, relying solely on him, Tate, and the children studying, significantly reduced the efficiency of government affairs.
He was almost overwhelmed by countless government affairs. Although the children had mastered a lot of knowledge, they were still far from being independent.
"You are right, Nightfall Leader needs more civilian staff, especially since we will be running two places in the future."
Field rubbed his chin, paced back and forth, and finally said with relief: "Send some of the work to me in the past two days, and I will handle it. When I go to Maple Leaf Collar next time, I will recruit more clerks and consultants."
Today's clerks are not recruited casually. Once someone with ulterior motives is recruited, it will be a disaster. It must be inspected and confirmed before it can be used.
"But sir...you..."
Field hugged his chest with his arms swollen, looking invincible, and coolly quoted the words of the Great Love Immortal: "It's just a little bit of wind and frost."
"Thank you for your understanding. I will definitely burn myself when I recover."
Kaa spoke with a cry. Where could he find such a good lord? In the beginning, I didn't obey the lord's order, so I deserved to die.
Thinking of this, Kaa wanted to slap himself twice.
"Spontaneous combustion is avoided. All we have at night is firewood."
After Kaa left, Field silently wrote down this incident.
"I haven't seen Charlotte for a long time. Let's go see what that little girl is up to."
Field rode his horse to the orchard area under construction, where one of the three villas in Starry Night Manor was under repair.
There are no fruits in the orchard area, they are all saplings, and occasionally there are two vegetable gardens. After Field issued the logging policy, he would buy some tree species or saplings for planting every time he came back from Maple Leaf City.
Charlotte works here.
When Field saw her, she was holding a bunch of wheat ears and comparing the sizes of the grains.
"Huh? Sir, you actually came to see me."
Catching a glimpse of Field from the corner of her eye, Charlotte stood up abruptly, hurriedly put down the things in her hands, and came forward with a smile on her face.
Field pinched her face: "I heard from the servant that you have been out early and come back late in the past two days, worrying about the food of the territory. I can't bear to tire you out."
"Wow, wow, so touched."
As soon as Field finished speaking, Charlotte's nose became sore and snot started to flow down her face. She rushed forward and wanted to rub her affectionately.
Holding her forehead with his palm, Field's pupils trembled: "Wow, at least wipe your nose first."
When encountering this kind of situation in movies, most beauties will shed tears, or the pear blossoms will rain with rain, okay!
What's so special, even a beautiful woman with a big nose will be disgusted by normal people.
"You dislike me." Charlotte suddenly became serious, cast a sharp look at Field, and pouted, "You are evil!"
"Stop working like a silly child." Patting Charlotte on the head lovingly, Field said sternly, "To be honest, you don't look good, go and have a rest."
The woman in front of her was a little pale, with heavy dark circles under her eyes. Her originally slender waist now looked even more voluptuous. There is a kind of haggardness like Lin Daiyu, which has a unique flavor.
Although it looks a bit more delicate and beautiful, Field just hopes that everyone is healthy.
"It's okay, but I still have a lot of land to bless, and I have to select good seeds, and plant vegetables and fruit trees in the evening."
Counting the work content with her fingers, she held her forehead and suddenly felt a little confused.
"No wonder I haven't seen you these days since I came back."
Field was distressed and grabbed her hand: "Put these aside first, go back to Xingye Castle to rest for two days, and I will plan your work time later. Even the donkeys in the production team can't stand working so hard like you."
"No! I want to work!"
Folding her arms righteously, Charlotte made a big cross: "It is my responsibility to build the territory and share the worries of the adults."
Field almost vomited blood and thought to himself: I thought, I didn't paint a big cake for her.
This state is just like chicken blood.
"Don't mention responsibility. It is also the lord's responsibility to take care of my dear chosen one."
Knowing the hardships of social animals, Field naturally would not allow his subordinates to die of exhaustion.
Charlotte said stubbornly: "Lululu~ Don't bother me."
"Haha, it's not up to you."
Field sneered and carried Charlotte: "I won't let you do whatever you want until I'm satisfied. If you keep messing around, I'll have to ask for maternity leave for you."
