When they were having breakfast the next morning, Tina buried her head deeply, feeling that she was too ashamed to see the Sir Feudal Lord.
She was panicking.
What if the Lord is angry?
What if the Lord doesn't want me anymore?
It wasn't easy to get such a job. If I lose it because of my impulsiveness, then …
Tina regretted it.
She was indeed too impulsive yesterday.
Because she knew that Tang En went to the mine and felt that he might not come back, she couldn't help but lie on Tang En's bed when she cleaned Tang En at night.
The smell on the quilt made her flustered. She fell asleep unknowingly and had a shameful dream.
But she never thought that the Lord would come back in the middle of the night and catch her red-handed …
God, this is too shameful!
How can I face the Lord in the future!
Tina was so anxious that she was about to cry.
If I can't, I can only apologize to the Lord and beg for mercy!
The Lord is a very, very good person, he won't mind … right?
After breakfast, Tang En just returned to the room and Tina followed in.
"Tina?"
"I, I'm sorry!"
Tina knelt directly in front of Tang En and cried, "Lord, it's my fault, please forgive me!"
"Ah? What's wrong? "
Tang En was confused.
"Yesterday, yesterday I …"
"Oh!"
Tang En suddenly realized and smiled, "It's my negligence. I didn't give you a day off. You must be tired from cleaning yesterday, right? Well, I'll give you a day off today. Have a good rest. "
When Tang En woke up in the morning, he saw the tools in the room and understood why Tina was in his room.
Tina bit her lower lip, "But, but I fell asleep on your bed …"
Tang En laughed heartily, "It's okay, it's better to say that you warmed the quilt for me. I slept more comfortably. The quilt is full of the refreshing smell of mint. You used mint soap to wash the quilt for me?"
Eh, eh!? Not, not angry!?
Tina's heart skipped a beat, she felt like she saw the dawn of hope.
Tina said awkwardly, "Actually, erm … I showered with mint soap yesterday …"
"I see!"
"My lord, do you like it?"
Tina blushed and said shyly, "If you like, I can warm your bed in the future …"
"No need."
Tang En waved his hand and said with a smile, "I'm a man. How can I let a little girl warm my bed all day long?"
"I see …"
Tina was very disappointed.
"Alright, I still have things to do. Go and rest. Don't forget that I'm giving you a day off today. Go and do whatever you want."
After Tang En finished speaking, he patted his forehead and took out a few gold coins. "Look at me, I forgot about this. Here's your pocket money. If you want to buy anything else, just go and buy it. If you don't have enough, just tell me."
Tina was shocked when she saw the gold coins. She quickly waved her hand. "No need, no need! I haven't used the gold coins that Lady Fiona gave me before! "
Tang En smiled and said, "What she gave is what she gave, and what I gave is what I gave. It's not the same. Just treat it as the cost of warming the bed last night."
"Warming the bed … cost?"
Tina froze there. "So … in my lord's eyes, I'm that kind of woman?"
Tang En was stunned. "Huh?"
"So … so it's like this …"
Tina's eyes glistened with tears. "So, my lord thinks that Tina is that kind of woman?"
"I didn't mean that …"
"I, I know!"
Tina wiped her tears and bowed deeply. "My lord, please forgive me for taking my leave."
Tina left after saying that, leaving behind a dazed Tang En.
What did I say wrong …
"Women are really inexplicable creatures …"
Tang En muttered.
"It's not that women are inexplicable, it's that you went overboard with your words."
Fiona walked over and rolled her eyes. "Any girl would be angry after being said that, right?"
Tang En was at a loss. "Huh?"
"I can't be bothered to say so much to you … By the way, you said that you have something to tell me?"
"Yes!"
Tang En's spirit was lifted, and he forgot about Tina in the blink of an eye. He smiled and said, "I announced a few new rules yesterday …"
After listening to Tang En, Fiona was already stunned.
"You actually … you actually … pay the miners who serve in the military!?"
Fiona covered her head with a conflicted expression. She felt that her head was hurting. "My lord, to what extent are you going to squander money?"
"They work for me, and I pay them a salary. Isn't that normal?"
"But they are serving in the military!"
Fiona was furious. "Residents have the obligation to serve the lord when they reach adulthood! This is an obligation! An unconditional obligation! "
"Is that so?"
"Of course! Residents live on the lord's land, pay taxes to the lord, serve the lord, and even risk their lives for the lord. The lord provides shelter for them and their families. This is a matter of course! Yet you pay them a salary. I, I'm really going to die from anger! "
Fiona stomped her foot angrily. "And, and you didn't discuss it with me in advance and made a decision on your own! Do you know how difficult it is for me?! "
After spending some time together, Fiona already knew what kind of personality Tang En had, which was why she dared to talk to him like this.
If it were another lord, Fiona would not dare to throw her tantrum no matter what.
"I don't think it's a big deal … It's just spending a few thousand more gold coins, but their enthusiasm for work has increased a lot. This is good."
"It is good, but you've made such a start. How are you going to do other things in the future? You still have to plan to rebuild Ellington. Are you going to pay the workers for the reconstruction!? "
Tang En's face was matter-of-fact. "Isn't this normal?"
"It's not normal at all!"
Fiona went crazy. "If the lord replans the town, everyone will contribute to the construction. This is the obligation of every resident! If you pay them a salary, what is this? Building the whole territory with the lord's strength alone? Not to mention the financial situation of Ellington, even the lords of other big towns will struggle to build a city. You're talking about a territory! "
"Oh oh … Then continue to make money …"
"Making money … It's not as simple as you say … Sigh!"
Fiona sighed. "Now that you've made a promise, we can only think of ways to perfect it. You really know how to find work for me … But next time, you must discuss it with me in advance!"
"Okay, okay, okay. I'll listen to you!"
Tang En smiled. "But don't worry about making money. There will soon be another sum of money in the account."
When Fiona heard that there would be money in the account, her spirit was lifted. "What do you mean?"
"Come with me."
Tang En led the way outside. "Yesterday, more than a hundred surrendered soldiers were recovered from the mine. They were Baron Duwei's men. Now, I'm going to let Baron Duwei pay the money.
Ransom these people and ask him for compensation for the illegal mining of the mine. "
"This … I can understand the first part, but the second part is too easy for you."
Fiona shook her head. "He may redeem the people, but it's absolutely impossible for him to compensate for the income from selling the ore. I know the nobles of the empire better than you do."
"Is that so? Since I've asked, he can't refuse. "
Tang En casually said, "No one can take advantage of Ellington."
That's it!
Fiona looked at the side of Tang En's face, and her heart pounded. She liked to see Tang En's expression the most. It was as if no one in the world was his opponent. That kind of attitude that inadvertently despised everything was simply too charming!
Now Fiona understood Tina's feelings a little. If it was her, she would probably cry and run away when Tang En inadvertently said such cruel words.
I hope I won't encounter that day …
The two came to the prison and let the guard open the gate.
"My Lord, there are too many soldiers, and we're responsible for the food of more than a hundred people. The pressure on our side is great."
The guards poured out their grievances to Twain. This was the reason why many lords were unwilling to accept surrendered soldiers. They could not be trusted to use the surrendered soldiers and would not be of any use. They would also waste their food expenses if they were kept for nothing. Even raising a group of livestock would be better than raising surrendered soldiers.
"Report the expenses here to me when the time comes. I need the details of the food ingredients for each person and the price of various ingredients."
"Okay! My Lords, please be careful. It's a little dark and damp here. "
"Ah! — — "
Before the prison guard could finish speaking, Fiona slipped and fell down the stairs!
"Be careful!"
Tang En conveniently held her waist. Fiona clung tightly to Tang En, and her face immediately began to blush.
This feeling of being cared for was really too blissful …
Unfortunately, when they reached the bottom, Tang En casually let go of her.
This guy!
Fiona angrily stomped her foot. Was she so unattractive?! Didn't he know to hug her a little longer?!
How many men couldn't bear to let go of a beautiful woman when they hugged her? He didn't feel anything at all!
Did this guy not know the charm of a woman?!
Fiona stared at Tang En suspiciously. Tang En was completely unaware, and only looked at the surrendered soldiers in the prison with interest.
These guys didn't seem to be worried about their situation at all. Although they looked a little dispirited, they all stayed in the prison obediently. A few even gathered together to play Gwent.
"I need a messenger."
Tang En suddenly said, "Send a letter to Duwei and ask him to pay to redeem you. Who's willing to volunteer?"
The surrendered soldiers looked at each other, and one of them even waved at him, "Hey! Don't worry about a messenger, Lord of Ellington, why don't you play Gwent! No one can beat me! "
Tang En said lightly, "Not interested."
"Uh …"
The guy couldn't calm down and muttered, "I keep feeling that something is wrong. Even the wizard couldn't resist the charm of Gwent and fought with me for 300 rounds. Why isn't this lord playing the game …"
