Although he said he would only recruit ten people at the beginning, he ended up recruiting thirteen people. Tang En felt that it was a small matter, but Fiona didn't think so.
"Sir Lord, you can't do this again in the future."
Fiona was very helpless. "As a noble, even if you said it yourself, you can't change it casually. If other nobles know about it, you will be laughed at. At the beginning, you said you would recruit ten people, so you can only recruit ten people. Life is so cruel. "
"Tsk, who cares about that? The first thing nobles have to learn is to be shameless. "
Tang En curled his lips. "Besides, don't you think their smiles are very beautiful?"
Fiona looked at the thirteen people. They were obviously very thin and seemed to have used up all their strength to stand up. Their clothes were obviously so shabby, but their smiles with tears were really touching.
It was a smile of seeing hope in a hopeless situation.
She couldn't help but nod.
"Yes, that's why I can't bear to fire three more people."
Tang En sighed and glanced at Fiona. His face was full of an expression that said "I am so kind and benevolent, come and praise me."
Fiona just pretended not to see it. She snorted and asked suspiciously, "You really didn't keep them all because they are all girls?"
Tang En's face was calm. "Of course."
Fiona looked at Tang En suspiciously. After a moment, she waved her hand and said, "Up to you. If there's nothing else, then get out of the way. I'm going to give gold coins to the guards."
Tang En looked up and found that Elsa had already arrived with the guards.
When these guys heard that Tang En's promise of gold coins was finally going to be fulfilled, they were all excited and couldn't wait.
But …
"Danny, can you throw the bag aside first?"
"No! After receiving the gold coins, I still have to pick the mint grass! "
After Danny finished speaking, he looked around nervously. "Yesterday's silver coins were all taken away by my mother. Today, the Feudal Lord is giving out a bonus of gold coins! If my mother takes it away again, I'll really cry. "
The crowd burst into laughter.
"Alright, stop laughing!"
Elsa shouted, and the guards immediately quieted down. She continued, "Line up one by one. When Miss Fiona calls your name, come forward to get it!"
Gold coins, gold coins … I'm going to spend them again …
Fiona sighed and glanced at the notebook. "Uncle Depp," she called out.
"He's here!"
Depp's face lit up.
"Uncle Depp, you've killed three bandits during the bandit suppression operation. Your monthly salary, including the operation bonus, is thirteen gold coins."
When Fiona handed the thirteen shiny gold coins to Depp, he and the rest of the guards were all stunned.
When they saw the gold coins in Depp's hand, they swallowed hard. Their eyes were wide open.
Oh, gods! They had never seen such a large sum of money before!
When Tang En had made that promise, they hadn't taken it seriously. They had thought that Tang En had said it to boost their morale. According to the bards, it wasn't the first time the treacherous nobles had done something like that.
But they hadn't expected Tang En to fulfill his promise!
"Long live the Feudal Lord!"
Depp's hands trembled with excitement. He put away the gold coins and bowed solemnly. "I, Depp, hereby swear to the gods that I will bleed every drop of my blood to protect Ellington and the Feudal Lord!"
"Nonsense!"
Tang En glared at Depp. "Has your mouth been blessed by Lady Calamity or something?" You want to see Ellington start a war? "
Depp's expression froze. He smiled sheepishly. "That … I was just too excited …"
Truth be told, no one wanted war. They'd rather live their entire lives without having to pick up a weapon.
But who could say for sure what would happen in the future?
As they received their gold coins one by one, the guards respected Tang En even more. They were all willing to become his followers.
Following such a generous and trustworthy Feudal Lord, they felt that their lives were worth it!
Half an hour later, after everyone had received their bonuses, it was Elsa's turn.
"Elsa, five bandits. Including the bonus and salary, that's a total of twenty gold coins."
"Huh?"
Elsa was surprised. "Isn't it fifteen?"
Fiona glanced at Tang En. "Because you're the captain of the guards, your salary is five gold coins higher than the others."
"Wow!"
Danny looked at Elsa enviously. "It's so good to be the captain!"
"What are you envious of?" Someone teased Danny. "If you can defeat Elsa, you can be the captain too."
"Defeat Elsa?"
Danny shuddered and shrunk his head back. He smiled awkwardly and said, "Forget it …"
He could kill Elsa with one hand!
"Alright!"
Elsa glared at them. As the captain, he should have the dignity of a captain. She coughed softly and said with a serious face, "Since you've received your salary, get ready to continue training!"
"Wait a minute."
Tang En smiled. "Let's take a break today. From now on, we'll receive our salary today. Then, we'll take a break today. You can buy whatever you want, drink if you want, relax, and continue training tomorrow. Of course, if it's a special period, there won't be a break."
"Yeah! Long live the Feudal Lord! "
The group cheered loudly.
"Feudal Lord, you'll spoil them like this."
Elsa frowned. She believed that a warrior should never slack off and should persevere in training every day.
"It's good for them to relax properly now …"
Tang En's face was sinister. "Tell me about your training methods later. I'll refer to it."
"Okay."
After Elsa and the others left, the thirteen girls also had breakfast. After filling their stomachs, their complexions were obviously much better. However, they all stood there uneasily, which made Tang En want to scratch his head.
In fact, their thoughts were very simple. They hadn't worked for the Feudal Lord yet, and they had already eaten his breakfast. If they couldn't satisfy the Feudal Lord later, how would they face the Feudal Lord in the future …
"You don't have to be nervous. In fact, what you have to do is very simple."
Tang En said very kindly. "Come with me first."
Tang En took them to the warehouse that had been cleaned. It was now empty, with only a dozen tables. On top of them were the distillers that Tang En had already adjusted. Under the tables was a large barrel.
"I'll demonstrate it from beginning to end. At the same time, I'll explain it to you. If there's anything you don't understand, you can ask me."
After saying that, Tang En started from the beginning. He added water, mint grass, turned on the magic array, and explained every step in detail to them until the distillation was finished.
"… Since it's an alchemy product, the temperature can be controlled with a magic array. The switch is right here. You can use it even if you don't know magic. It's very simple."
After the demonstration, Tang En asked, "Now, who still doesn't understand?"
No one raised their hand.
"Don't be shy. If you don't understand, just ask. I won't say anything … Uh, do you really understand?"
Everyone nodded.
In fact, this set of procedures was very simple. As long as one had a normal learning ability, they would be able to grasp it. The reason why Tang En repeatedly confirmed it was because he underestimated the learning ability of Prandal people.
"Very good. In that case, let's continue."
Tang En collected the semi-finished products and placed them on the table. "The upper layer is peppermint extract, and the lower layer is peppermint essential oil. You need to separate them into two containers. This is also very simple."
"… Add coarse sugar and water in this pot to dissolve it. Then, use this to filter it a few times. Then, pour the melted liquid into this mixer. Then, use this container to measure the peppermint essential oil into it. After mixing it evenly, pour the melted liquid into this mold to cool it down. Then, collect the sugar balls and put them in this box."
Tang En worked overtime last night not only to make the distilling device. In order to allow ordinary people to be able to complete this series of tasks, he integrated several steps that were completed with magic into the device. For example, the simple mixer used a wind magic array, and the mold and the box containing the sugar balls used an ice magic array to control the temperature.
With the help of magic, these machines were not only convenient and fast, but also pollution-free. The efficiency was even higher than the similar machines on Earth. This was also one of the things that Tang En was most satisfied with in Prandal.
"Since you've mastered it, let's try it out first. Five people will extract the peppermint, five people will boil and filter the sugar water, and the other three will assist at the side to maximize the efficiency. Now, let's start."
Tang En clapped his hands, and Prandal's first simple assembly line began work.
At first, the girls were a little nervous, and their movements were very stiff. But after a while, they got used to it. They quickly added water and peppermint herbs, and their work efficiency skyrocketed.
After observing from the side for a while, Tang En adjusted the personnel allocation. As the extraction speed was much faster than expected, and the consumption of the peppermint essential oil was not as fast, the boiling and stirring of the sugar water was slower, and the final molding work was very easy, it ended up with three people extracting the peppermint essential oil. Seven people were boiling and stirring, while the other three were in charge of making the sugar balls.
3: 7: 3. This was the most efficient allocation at the moment. Tang En rubbed his chin. It seemed that the allocation of personnel in the future could also be based on this ratio.
At noon, the girls were excited that Tang En had taken care of them for lunch again.
As a result, they worked even harder in the afternoon. They had mastered the skills very skillfully in the morning, and their efficiency in the afternoon was even higher. As a result, they easily made tens of thousands of peppermints in the evening.
A sugar ball was now calculated at 10 copper coins. The output of this crude workshop had reached 10 gold coins in a day.
Don't think that it was a small amount. Think about how much value these 13 girls could create every day. If they knew that they had created goods worth at least 10 gold coins in a day, they would be shocked.
