Chapter 521 Old Acquaintance

"Wow, we have a new home. Look at the slate floor tiles and the independent small garden. Oh my god, I want to raise a hound."

"Such a wonderful house only costs three gold coins. It's unbelievable."

"I bet that this attic alone, the city where the cod collar is placed, must cost fifty gold coins."

Tom kissed the paper voucher hard and shouted outside the new house: "We are on welfare. It is said that the adults sell it so cheaply in order to quickly improve people's livelihood."

The rotten wooden house that once belonged to my family was taken away by the lord for 30 silver coins. It’s fine if you don’t take it out, but you’ll have to pay property tax, and you’ll have to pay an additional tax of fifteen copper coins per month for the second home.

"Be quiet, kid. You are now the baron's knight, so keep your manners." Tom's mother pretended to be stern, but her lips were harder to suppress than AK's.

"Okay, I'm so happy."

Tom's father, Smith, the first-class blacksmith in the territory: "Tom is now a noble fighting knight, a true warrior, and can no longer be blamed."

"Even if he has his own grandson, he is still my child. What's wrong with me scolding him?" The woman burst into laughter with a big belly.

"This is all thanks to the Lord." Tom chuckled and scratched his head, "If the Lord hadn't given us the precious potion, I wouldn't have been able to become a Fighting Knight."

"Yes, everything has changed since I came to Night Territory."

"The goddess blesses your Lord Baron."

The couple prayed quickly.

"Of course, I also bless the child in my wife's belly." Smith added, "He can also become an excellent blacksmith and make armors and swords for adults."

"Maybe it's a daughter. I've always wanted a daughter."

After the residents settled down stably, many women became pregnant, and the foreseeable baby boom was imminent.

"Okay dad, we have brought a bunch of things. Come into the house quickly." Tom motioned to the clay pot in his hand.

There was a jug full of milk inside.

Everyone was about to open the door.

"Tom, it's really you." A woman exclaimed from outside the fence.

Turning his head, Tom was also stunned for a moment: "Gemma, you are actually leading the night."

"Yes, that's right. Long time no see Tom."

Gemma nodded hurriedly, just about to run into Tom's small courtyard happily.

But seeing the flat stone floor and the beautiful and tidy house, and looking at myself covered in dirty and tattered clothes, it was incompatible with all of this.

Gemma didn't even dare to step in.

God, this is simply the villa of a businessman. Gemma shrinks her neck, forming a pitifully thick barrier in her bones.

"What's the matter? Come in quickly. There is no furniture in the house yet. Fortunately, we brought chairs." Tom did not dislike this childhood playmate. "Come on, tell me, you are not in the Cod Territory, fighting for the Cod Baron." Fishing?"

"My previous homeland suffered two wars. The baron's fish pond was poisoned and all the fish died. The family lost its livelihood. My father sold off all his property, and it was my turn..."

"Hey, the empire is not peaceful, and it's all the damn rebels' fault." Tom didn't know what to say, so he could only scold the rebels, "By the way, you have left your slave origin."

"Yeah, just two days ago, I was the fourth batch to come to pick them up at night." Jima nodded and smiled, "Thanks to the Baron, I recently worked in the newly opened pottery pot workshop, and the pottery pots I made were just like that. Like this."

The girl pointed to the jar in Tom's arms.

"That's great. As long as you work hard, you will soon be able to live a good life."

Tom's words were sincere. Their family had never been idle. Even if he became a fighting knight, his father would still go to the blacksmith shop and his mother would do handicrafts at home.

Although he is a fighting spirit knight and his income is extremely considerable, his expenses are also high. Just buying magic potions, meat, eggs, and milk was beyond his capabilities.

Fortunately, things like fighting skills are all free.

"Come in quickly. It's rare to meet someone you know. Please be sure to have lunch with us."

"No, no, no."

Gemma shook her head repeatedly, but when she caught a glimpse of their family, holding large pieces of steak in their hands, the girl swallowed silently.

I can actually eat such a big steak.

"Whatever, if you have acquaintances, they will take care of you in the territory." Tom's mother grabbed Gemma's arm and pulled her into the house.

"Okay, thank you, auntie."

Gemma looked back.

A lot of people outside the community looked at them with envy. Everyone wanted to live a better life.

The envious gaze made Jima's whole body feel hot. Even if it wasn't her own house, she felt an unprecedented sense of superiority.

"I must have my own house."

The first batch of new homes were sold out within one day.

Field played with the gold coins in his hand: "For fifty houses, excluding labor and raw materials, we only earn forty gold coins."

It’s funny to say that the income is not as good as a box of Happy Beans.

Because the raw materials were extremely cheap, and thanks to Rosaria, she helped cut the stone, which greatly accelerated the progress of the project.

Moreover, the Chosen One does not need a salary. After all, the territory is considered the joint property of the Chosen One and the lord.

"It's so little." Rosaria, who was counting the money next to her, sighed, "But there's nothing we can do about it. The citizens don't have any money. Such prices are already the limit."

"Fortunately, property taxes, water and electricity, etc. will continue to generate income in the future. Moreover, this house has solved the housing needs of more than 200 people. After all, there are several people in one family."

Moreover, the decoration and furniture of the house will bring positive benefits to the territory.

Field threw the gold coins into the treasure chest beside him.

"We can prepare to build the second batch of brick and stone houses. I will make the price closer to supply and demand."

The price of the second batch of houses will increase.

Field took out the "Night Territory Phase II Project Plan" and ticked the first batch of houses: "I believe that this construction experience has spawned a large number of skilled construction workers. The second phase of the project plans to build 200 brick and stone houses."

"My lord, the artifact: Golden Fountain has been built."

Minister of Agriculture Charlotte walked in.

"It's in the garden of your castle, a very beautiful artifact." Charlotte clapped her hands.

"Oh? Let's go and see."

Field pulled everyone back to the Starry Night Castle.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw a golden and gorgeous fountain, which looked like the Torana Fountain in the Palace of Versailles. In the center, there is a statue of the goddess of harvest, which is elegant and beautiful.

"It's just like a building in a royal forest garden." Charlotte said seriously, "Because this fountain is a third-level artifact, I have to inject divine power nine times before I can activate it once to bring rain to the territory. In a month, I can activate it at most four times."

"Don't activate it often, don't get too tired."
