Chapter 37 The Wealth in the Castle

Chapter 37 The Wealth in the Castle

The Shanlin Castle was as lively as usual, but in just half a day, the owner of the castle changed. 【】

Ronin had dinner with the guards from Shanlin Town, which was a staged victory for them.

Although the broth, side dishes, and bread made by the chef were much worse than those in Wushan Castle, Ronin, who had been eating dried meat and dry bread these days, still ate several bowls happily.

The guards below were even more so.

The food on the road was already very good for them, not to mention the soup and dishes at the dinner.

The dinner lasted about an hour. When it was completely dark, Ronin took a bath happily and moved into the tidy small building.

This small building was built entirely of wood and was divided into three floors: upper, middle, and lower.

The top floor was the attic, where unused clothes or tools were usually stored. The middle was a luxurious bedroom, and the bottom was the living room and the place where the servants took a nap.

Ronin lived in the largest room on the second floor, which was relatively clean after the servants cleaned it up.

At this moment, he was sitting in the study outside the bedroom, and the lit candles illuminated the entire room.

Although the light was not as soft as the incandescent lamp on Earth, it was enough to support him to see every word in the book clearly.

In front of him were two books, or more accurately, fighting skills secrets - Flame Slash and Fire Fist Bombing.

Ronin took a quick look and found that they were both fighting skills suitable for intermediate knights.

Among them, Flame Slash should be the flaming attack used by Princet;

Because the learning difficulty of Flame Bombing was a little higher, Princet should not have mastered it, of course, it is also possible that he mastered it but had no chance to use it.

These two fighting skills secrets were very useful to Ronin, after all, one of his attributes was fire.

"Knock, knock, knock~" The door was knocked.

"Come in."

The butler Chahar walked in, "Good evening, sir."

He came to the table and respectfully reported his work: "I have done what you asked me to do.

As he said that, he took out a piece of parchment from his pocket and handed it over.

"Very fast! "

The parchment felt delicate and smooth, but there was also a faint fishy smell.

Ronin frowned slightly. Although the smell was not very pleasant, he had read a lot of books in these days and was used to it.

Ronin did not seem to have any difficulty in writing the text from another world. It was recorded:

[Money: 58 gold coins, 349 silver coins, 8466 copper coins]

[Food: 18,856 catties of barley, 16,230 catties of wheat, 1,000 catties of flour, 500 catties of dried meat, 30 catties of fine salt, 136 catties of coarse salt, 320 catties of Gaza salt, 280 catties of butter]

[Beer: 26 bottles of superior beer, 138 bottles of medium beer, 5 barrels of sour beer]

[Horses: 1 excellent warhorse, 3 ordinary warhorses, 19 ordinary horses, 3 foals, 5 carriages]

[Cattle and sheep: 4 cows, 1 male cow, 1 calf, 10 female black buffaloes, 1 male black buffalo, 3 calves, 126 goats]

[Weapons]: Full armor*3, iron spear*23, knight sword*6, inferior long sword*12, longbow*8, arrows*356

[Fur: 56 sheepskins, 13 cowskins,]

[Cloth: 87 rolls of linen, 54 rolls of woolen cloth]

Ronin carefully read the items listed on the parchment, and the more he read, the more he smiled.

No wonder many people dream of conquering a castle, this harvest is really exciting!

"Prince has pledged allegiance to Rayson of Sean County, and many things must have been handed over to Sean County. I didn't expect that there are so many in Shanlin Castle!"

"Yes, sir, these grains are enough for us to eat for a year! "

Chahar was so excited when he counted the property, he felt like he had made a fortune.

"And September is coming soon. I heard that Shanlin Town has a batch of barley to be harvested. Then we will have a lot of fresh barley."

Although Luo Ning usually eats more wheat flour, barley is also an important food.

It can not only be used as food, but also an important material for brewing beer, making maltose, and barley tea. In addition, the black bread made from its bran is also a guarantee of survival for many people.

"There is no need to worry about the food in the castle. "

Luo Ning was originally planning to go out to buy food, but now it seems to be more than enough.

As for money.

With the money seized in the castle, Luo Ning already has 589 gold. Even if he uses it to buy five magic crystals, he can still have more than 80 gold coins in savings.

Now he can consider the first charge gift, but magic crystals cannot be bought in Shanlin Town.

If he wants to buy it, he may have to go to the nearest horse herding city.

"Shanlin Town has not yet established a firm foothold, so it is not suitable to go out. "

Roning had been stationed in the castle for less than five hours, and many things had not been done. He was completely unable to spare time.

As for asking others to do it, that was even more impossible.

The only warrior, McKen, had to stay with him. If the others were not strong enough and were robbed, Roning would not know who to cry to.

In addition to money, he was more concerned about horses, cattle, sheep and weapons. Their value was much more expensive than food.

"These three war horses were ridden by Princet, Sean and others, and they were counted together after the seizure."

Chahar introduced: "The full body armor is basically the same."

Ronin nodded. He had a basic understanding of the wealth of Shanlin Castle.

At this time, he also understood how attractive such wealth was to a government official. No wonder the other party was reluctant to let go.

"You have made a very detailed statistics. This is a very beautiful thing."

Ronin put the parchment in his hand on the table and gave Chahar an appreciative smile, "Thank you for your hard work!"

Chahar waved his hand quickly and was very modest: "Master, please don't be like this. It is my honor to serve you!"

"Well, there should be warehouses and cellars in the castle. You will be responsible for the unified custody of these materials."

Ronin began to make the first step of personnel arrangements: "Do a good job, Chahar. From now on, you are the steward of Shanlin Castle."

Chahar was stunned when he heard this. His dream was to become a big steward like Hallwart.

Now, he has finally taken the first step in his life-from a male servant to a steward!

Although he is only the steward of Shanlin Castle in a remote place, he has discovered during this period that following the master in front of him, he will definitely have a world in the future!

Chahar immediately knelt on one knee on the ground, "Seven Gods witness, Chahar will not let you down, sir!"

"Haha, get up."

Roning raised his hand and handed over a piece of parchment on the table.

"Prince's servants can no longer be used. I will leave the matter of recruiting new servants to you. This is the salary range table I have drawn up. You should follow this standard."

"Okay, sir!"

Chahar took the parchment and read it carefully.

The servants are divided into categories, such as apprentice servants, rough servants, kitchen chefs, kitchen chores, personal maids, personal male servants, male butlers, female housekeepers, etc., and a brief description is given, and the salary range is divided.

The highest paid is the male butler, who is responsible for all management affairs in the castle, but must be separated from the maid's living area, life, etc., and the salary is 8 copper coins per day.

The salary of the female housekeeper and the chef is in the second tier, with 6 copper coins per day.

The lowest is the apprentice servant, who only gets 1 copper coin a day.

"Our castle is not big now, and we don't have many people. We are just starting out. I will offer you a salary of 8 copper coins a day."

Roning smiled and said, "When our castle expands and we have more people and things to do, I will give you a raise."

A butler in a baronial castle gets 8 copper coins a day, which is only 2 gold and 6 silver a year. It's not high, but it's also normal.

But Chahar obviously didn't expect that he would be treated like this.

"Master, you are so generous. I thank you on behalf of the servants who will join the castle and myself!"

"Work hard, Chahar, and improve your management skills in all aspects. In the future, you will be the butler of the Fiery Storm Family!"

Roning didn't mind painting a big picture for himself. Anyway, everyone would feel comfortable listening to it.

"You decide the number and level of servants, but I have a few requirements in other aspects."

"Master, please tell me!"

Ronin said, "First, you have to find out their family background. If they have followed Princet, especially those who participated in today's betrayal, they will definitely not be accepted!"

"Second, after being elected, you have to observe their words and deeds. Those who are irresponsible, lazy, and restless cannot be accepted."

"Finally, and most importantly, they must be loyal to me."

Chahar kept these three points in mind, "My lord, I remember!"

Ronin waved his hand, "Okay, go down. Tomorrow, when I meet my subjects, you can recruit servants."

Watching Chahar leave his study, Ronin stretched his body.

After a busy day, he can finally rest alone for a while.

However, some people are destined not to rest.

For example, David should be raiding the homes of the three professional knights in Shanlin Town with Tom.

I don't know how much property these people can leave to Ronin.
