Chapter 18 Death News
Author: Sibai Mama
As soon as he opened the door and went out, the servant Prawford ran over in panic: "Sir!"
"What's wrong?"
"I'm sorry to disturb you're resting," said the servant lowered his head and said, "But the red grass you told me to always pay attention to seems to have withered. I watered it as you told me and picked up chicken manure to fertilize it. I didn't delay it, and didn't even dare to close my eyes and stared at it!"
He stopped the male servant from reflecting himself: "Okay, take me over and take a look first."
It is difficult to survive after the magic herb transplant, and he had expected it to be.
He also soon saw the red herbs transplanted into the soil, with yellow leaves and wilted and bent over the stems.
"It's not your fault, pitchfork" Liqi comforted his loyal servant: "You did a great job, at least tell me before it completely withered."
"But sir, I let it die. Is it chicken manure? Maybe the manure cursed it."
"It's not that" Li Qi could not make the demons deformed into fertiliser. His territory needs to do all resources to develop. Fertilizer is the top priority of agricultural development. Abandon manure and pray to the four gods? Don't joke, God will not go hungry.
He asked the servant to dig out the red grass and asked, "Go and get some salt for me... the more the better."
"yes!"
After a while, Li Qi ordered the servant to go back to rest, and he returned to the crypt with red grass and a large bag of salt.
He put the salt in the coffin where the corpse was placed as required to ensure that it could be "pickled and tasted", and then he also placed the red grass in it.
"This thing may be a magical material." He couldn't think of how to use this thing in a short time. If it turns into red hair after eating it? That is not explained by the blessing of the Four Gods, but more like the favor of the devil.
Cover the coffin lid and recite the spell.
The crypt has returned to its silence, and then I just need to wait for the "pot" to come out.
...
When Li Qi woke up from the bed, it was dawn and it was about noon through the window.
I slept until the sun was noon.
He wanted to enter the crypt to see how the latest refined corpse was in. The other party was his next guarantee, but there were already noisy sounds and the sound of a carriage outside, and the housekeeper Saimen was back.
Li Qi decided to go out first to see what his butler had brought back.
"Rising, my sir"
The long journey made the butler Saimen's hair a little messy, but his posture was still very decent.
"I'm glad you're back." Li Qi nodded: "I know I can't wait to know how you've gained this time."
"You will definitely be satisfied!"
Saimen was very proud of his expression, and he gained a huge profit for his lord.
Li Qi looked at the carriage parked at the entrance of the castle, with eight elderly and colorful horses.
It contains grain, seeds, and iron ore, and the front car is filled with piles of books, accounting for one-third of the carriage.
"That piece of flaming demon bear's skin has earned you 20 Jin Il's profits," said Saimen: "Baron Simon is very interested in the story of your defeat in the terrifying monster."
The corners of Li Qi's mouth twitched slightly. In his memory, the spark baron was not the master who likes to listen to stories. The other party prefers to "work" in other places. For the Baron who owns an iron ore, 20 Jin Il is nothing at all. I guess the other party just wants to watch his own fun, such as paying for the story told by a Baron who is determined to become a bard, but that is not important to Li Qi, just get the money.
The housekeeper Saimen started to spend every expense for Li Qishu. The golden day was not a circulating currency. He found someone to exchange it for the silver moon. The 8th golden day was exchanged for 1,800 silver moons. The goods price rose sharply recently because the harvest was not very good, so the grain and seeds cost 740 silver moons, but these things were enough to make people unable to starve this winter.
Of course, it is also possible that Baron Li Qi was regarded as a fat sheep. There is no price for buying and selling things, and the price is opaque. You may need 5 bronze stars to buy, and 1 silver month may be required for changing someone.
If Saimen sold a piece of bear skin worth 20 yuan, it was promoted, Li Qi believed that he must be the most popular "big fat sheep to be slaughtered" in Tieshi City, not to mention that this fat sheep is very stylish and has meticulously combed her hair.
Books are 3 silver months each.
Although Li Qi felt a lot of pain in his heart, he still nodded and accepted that books were the only way to understand the history of the world and gain knowledge.
When there is nothing to do in the cold winter, he probably will roast the fire and read the book.
Because only scholars can compile books on Lurea continent, of course, there are also ordinary bards who like to write messy things, but if they want to pass on them, they must be helped by scholars, so the price of each book is very high.
A thin book cost 300 silver months.
In addition, there are iron, ravens, herbs, etc. he specifically requested before.
There are eight horses and carriages, which require a total of 14 silver months of rental fees, but if Liqi intends to buy these horses, each horse will need 10 silver months.
"It's all old horses, they're not worth the price." Li Qi sighed, but the housekeeper accurately scratched his itchy flesh. I have to say that Saimen is very capable in being a housekeeper and can know what his lord wants.
Because Li Qi needs resources very much, all resources, including horses.
If you plan to increase the speed of agricultural cultivation in the future, horses are necessary in the role you play.
Moreover, no lord is willing to sell his horse, and horses are wealth.
“Where did the remaining money be spent?”
"The garrisons in Ironstone City need to pay a portion, and they can also ensure that we will not be cheated when purchasing," the butler replied.
"Okay, what else?"
"There are 30 more slaves," said the housekeeper. "Although most of them are children and women, they are still on the way to arrive tonight."
Li Qi smiled: "You're doing a good job, Saimen."
The territory needs a population, but the steward is not loyal enough, but he is very good at guessing the heart of the lord and does a good job.
Perhaps the housekeeper knew that only in this way could the lord ignore his former "disloyalty". Loyalty is not absolute, but the value it can create is indeed visible and tangible. Li Qi could be furious because of the other party's disloyalty, but he could also ignore those trivial things because of the other party's ability.
"Appoint them to live in first and give them some food." Population is his wealth, and he is unwilling to lose anything.
"By the way, there is another blacksmith apprentice who is willing to come to the Porcupine collar to play for you," said Symen.
"You really brought me a lot of surprises." Li Qi's smile became brighter: "Prepare a separate house for him and tell him that I will help him open a blacksmith shop in the Porcupine."
Even if you are an apprentice, as long as you have the skill of making iron, it can come in handy when farming.
"By the way," Saimen said: "There is still bad news."
His expression could not tell what was wrong with this bad news.
"Tell me" Li Qi was a little disgusted with the butler's habit of talking with a little bit of news.
"Mrs. Althorp returns to the arms of the four gods," said Saimen: "On the morning of the wedding, she was kicked to death by her husband."
Looking at the butler with a deep expression on his face, Li Qi overturned the "disgusting" judgment just now. He liked the other party to speak like this, and such good news should be said at the end.
His stepmother couldn't stand the "Iron Hoof", and Li Qi gave her a chance because of the loss.
"May she get eternal peace in the arms of the four gods." Li Qi prayed with a serious expression, as if he had a deep relationship with his stepmother.
The Iron Hoof Knight would not care about the Porcupine who had no strength to lead the baron, but the marriage he dared to stomp on Red Rose to death must be because the people from the Leopold family had left.
From this perspective, Baron Spark bought the bear skin and should have the intention of expressing his apology. The way he expressed his apology was a bit arrogant, just like: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, this is compensation." But he may not know that Li Qi was planning to use his "hoof" to kill people.
"The Iron Hoof Knight should probably have mental problems." A person who keeps trampling on the person next to him may have a brain problem, but no one will notice this in this era, because except for trampling on his wife, the Iron Hoof Knight is normal on weekdays.
Li Qi ordered the butler to buy the horses and told the other party to have a good rest.
After a series of good news, he felt a little hungry and had to eat first.
