Chapter 39 Injecting Vitality

Werther returned home in despair, and until this time, the fragrance of mints still lingered in his mouth.

He has been deeply fascinated by this nostalgic taste.

After eating the mints, he even felt that the smell in his mouth was full of sweetness when he spoke, it was almost like, like kissing a girl - didn't those bards say, and a girl? The feeling of a child kissing is sweet...

As for what Dunn said, collecting mint grass can be exchanged for silver coins and mints?

Che, he doesn't believe it, how can there be such a good thing in the world?

Must be lying!

"I'm back……"

As soon as Werther opened the door, he saw his father and mother were sitting in front of the table discussing something in a low voice. He didn't care, and went straight back to the house.

"...Are you saying that the Lord's announcement is true?"

"I don't know either, but since it was published by Lord Lord, it should be true..."

"You can get silver coins by collecting mint grass? What is the Lord thinking? The mint grass mentioned in the announcement is the one that grows by the river, right? It's everywhere, so why send someone to collect it?"

"Who knows? Lord Lord may have his plans. Everyone has just escaped from the fear of bandits. He may want everyone to have something to do."

"It doesn't matter, it's good to give it a try. If you can really exchange silver coins, that's great!"

Werther stopped suddenly, with a look of surprise on his face: "Dad, Mom, what are you talking about, is it a new announcement issued by the Lord?"

"Yes, as long as you collect mint grass, you can exchange for silver coins. There is also the signature of the lord on it. It should be... eh? What are you doing, Werther?"

"I go out for a while!"

Werther picked up the bag next to him, turned his head and ran, rushed out of the house and went straight to the Emerald River. When he came to the Emerald River, Werther was stunned.

At this moment, many people are already collecting mint by the Emerald River!

"Big Brother Werther!"

Marshall saw Werther, very happy, raised his hand and shouted.

Witte ran over, and Marshall pulled up the bag in his hand to show off: "Brother Witte, I have collected a lot, although I don't know how many kilograms, but I can definitely get mints!"

Werther took a closer look. The bag in his hand was almost full, and the others around him were similar. The mint grass that was densely packed was much less.

Werther is in a hurry, if the mint grass makes them bright, how will he make silver coins! ?

At the moment, Werther didn't care to talk to Marshall any more, and rushed to the side to start collecting mint grass.

Children born in Ellington will help the family since they were young. They are good at gathering wild vegetables and other things. Of course, it is not a problem to collect mint grass in the area.

And under Tang En's decree, they didn't dare to be too ruthless, but left the roots, which can be collected again after a while.

On the bank of the river, people who had nothing to do were doing their best, and a few homeless people who stayed in Ellington all year round were also busy here, hoping to get some silver coins and buy some bread to fill their stomachs.

Not far away, Dunn observed all this and was very satisfied.

With the motivation to make money, these people will have goals in life, and their spirits will be different after they get busy.

"Big brother, can I also collect mint grass to earn silver coins for mints?"

Ilya watched everyone busy there with excitement, and she was also eager to try.

Tang En originally wanted to say that with me taking care of you, you don't need to earn silver coins to eat mints, but after thinking about it, he said with a smile, "Yeah, if Illya wants to eat mints, she has to work hard on her own."

"Um!"

Ilya nodded fiercely, then ran down and picked mint grass with a few friends.

Dunn smiled.

He didn't want to spoil Illya too much. There are too many examples of this on the earth. Even a talented child, if spoiled, it will be difficult for him to grow up in the future.

If he just blindly protects and spoils Ilya, she will have no independent ability when she encounters difficulties in the future.

What's more, now her friends are using her own efforts to make money, but she can sit back and enjoy the success, which invisibly draws a line between her and her friends. Over time, she and her friends are estranged, This is not a good thing.

Working together and sharing the joy together can quickly enhance their relationship, and at the same time, it can also allow Illya to enhance understanding with others during labor, making it easier for everyone to accept her.

In short, it's a good thing that kills multiple birds with one stone.

In the evening, according to Dunn's order, Fiona sent someone to set up a table in front of the lord's mansion to buy mint grass. Dunn made a scale for her to measure the mint grass.

Seeing this battle, the residents of Ellington, who had been very nervous all the time, were relieved, knowing that the Lord Lord really planned to buy mint grass, and all of them showed happy smiles on their faces.

On the other hand, Tang En was startled when he saw their big bags and small bags. He originally thought that these people would get bored if they didn't collect much, but he never thought that they had been doing it until this time.

"Danny, three and eight kilograms, here are three silver coins and eighty copper coins, please keep them."

Fiona swiftly put away the mint grass, and then handed the coin to Danny. Danny, who received the money, jumped up excitedly: "Yeah! That's great! I've got the money for tonight's wine!"

Danny's mother, Aunt Sandra, grabbed Danny: "What's the drink money! Give it to me to keep it!"

Danny suddenly wanted to cry without tears: "Mom! How can you do this!"

"This is for your own good, saving you money to marry a wife!"

After Aunt Sandra finished speaking, she put the mint grass she collected on the scale and looked at Fiona nervously.

"Two and a half kilograms, two silver coins and forty copper coins, please take Aunt Sandra."

Aunt Sandra smiled instantly. She earned two silver coins and forty copper coins in just one afternoon. This was simply unimaginable when Hogg was in office!

"Lord Lord is really a good person!"

Aunt Sandra said happily: "But what is the use of the lord buying this mint grass? If the lord loses money to help us, we will feel sorry..."

Fiona smiled, and just as she was about to answer, she saw Betty behind Aunt Sandra, she smiled, and said, "Look at the side and you'll know."

Sandra stood beside her with a little doubt, and then saw Betty dragging a bag on the scale with a little effort.

"Four point five kilograms!"

Fiona exclaimed: "Little girl, you are really capable!"

Betty blushed immediately.

"Four silver coins and fifty copper coins, how would you like to exchange them?"

Betty said nervously: "I want to exchange two of the silver coins for mints, can I?"

"Can."

Fiona said with a smile, took 20 mints for Betty, and handed them to her along with the silver coins: "Keep it."

After Betty took the mint, she directly stuffed one into her mouth, with a happy expression on her face, and left happily.

"Mints?"

Aunt Sandra looked confused: "What is that? One is actually worth ten copper coins!"

Similar questions appeared in the minds of many people at the same time. As the exchange progressed, after several children exchanged mints, finally a few adults were curious and exchanged for some mints. As a result, they were immediately stunned when they tasted it. .

More and more people are convinced by the charm of mints. Most of the people who actually exchange mints are children. For adults, they have to consider more. Converting into silver coins can subsidize the family, which is more important to them. .

But children are different. They didn't have the ability to make money. Now they have made money with their own labor. Except for the part they took home, they can freely use the rest. This is of course a good thing.

Tang En hid and observed quietly, especially Ilya. After an afternoon of hard work, Ilya was standing in the team at the moment, talking and laughing with her friends next to her. The adults next to her seemed to be used to it, nothing special. Reaction.

It seems to work well.

Dunn thought for a while and went out.

"Lord Lord!"

"Lord Lord!"

There was a series of voices outside. At this moment, they called Dunn, but they were sincere.

This made Dunn very emotional. It was just a little favor and small favor to let them support him so much. If, just if, Ellington became more prosperous, how should they react? Are they willing to use their lives to defend Ellington?

"Everyone, please forgive me."

Tang En waved his hand, smiled at Illya, and said aloud: "Everyone may be a little confused, why do I want to buy mint grass."

Immediately below, there was silence, waiting for Dunn's answer.

"Mint grass, many people know that it grows by the Emerald River. It grows a lot and has a very special smell, but everyone doesn't know that this peppermint grass is edible, and its juice is also useful."

Tang En said with a smile: "Yes, Ellington is very poor, but we are not poor. Our land is rich and there are many treasures. As long as you discover with your heart, you can find things of great value."

"Mint grass is one of them."

Dunn said loudly: "Tell you the good news, soon, Ellington will build a workshop, I call it the Ellington Candy Factory, at that time, anyone who wants to work will have a share of their own. Work, and at the same time I promise, you'll earn lots and lots of gold, keep everyone safe and be proud to be a part of Ellington!"

"At the same time, I would like to announce one thing, the day after tomorrow, all 1,232 farmers in Ellington can get agricultural subsidies, and this agricultural subsidy is for you to replace your agricultural tools, and will not be issued to you. In your hands - but when the time comes, all farmers who receive subsidies can go to Edgar's blacksmith shop to get a set of iron farm tools for free!"

uproar!

Shock!

Almost everyone can't believe their ears!

What did they hear?

The lord pays the money to replace the iron farm tools for them! ?

The gods are above... This, is this true! ?
