He didn't know if he was going to move to the control tower.
Looking at the little baron looking at him with wet puppy eyes, 'Xueyunfeng' couldn't help but smile: "You can just live in your own castle with peace of mind.
There are not as many automatic crystal energy tools as you have in the command tower."
The nobles in this world can live very comfortably with a little money, not to mention Linde who is already very favored.
Otherwise, such a large castle would not be able to be maintained so well with just a few puppets.
The puppet's job is mainly to arrange the operation of these tools, not to let them clean up by themselves all day long.
Automatic lawn mowers and automatic sweepers are both available.
These gadgets are the main source of money for the Ismail family.
As for the massive wealth earned from those powerful weapons... The great sage Ismail was able to become so powerful in such a short period of time. The favor of the Lord of the World and the luck given to him did account for the main factors, but
It definitely costs a lot of money.
These household tools, as well as those construction tools, only require fantastic ideas, not powerful alchemists. Ismail the Great Sage only needs to study them and leave them to others to deal with... These are the things around him
The foundation on which women live.
The reason why the servants of the Ster family are treated so leniently is that except for their true confidants, most of the servants have no access to secret rooms or the like.
That is the world of crystal energy tools.
However, using this thing still consumes quite a lot of crystal energy, so most families will only use full crystal energy devices in special areas.
If the undead hadn't paid Linde a high enough price to purchase the land...and it was all paid in spar, he wouldn't have had the guts to use it like this.
‘Xueyunfeng’ suddenly remembered something: “By the way, Linde. Among the first wave of refugees that our undead tribe came into contact with, those who passed the test have already begun to move here.
Are you going to let them all work as farmhands, or are you going to find a few useful servants among them?"
Linde was stunned for a moment, then sat there and pondered for a while: "For now, the crystal stones you gave me can keep my castle going like this for 20 years.
Then, after three years, you’re going to start paying me taxes, right?”
"At that time, it is estimated that there will not be so many crystal stones." 'Xueyunfeng' said noncommittally, "Taxes are basically currency."
"For me, it's enough." Linde smiled slightly, "I don't need it at all.
If any of the people you bring back have children who have nowhere to go, well, those under the age of 12 can be sent to my castle.
Although they can't do much, they can just clean the courtyard and pick up the debris, and that's where the crystal stones are wasted the most."
He looked at 'Xueyun Peak' with a smile and said what both parties knew well about the situation.
"You...if you really need to train your future confidants, well, it's best not to teach them yourself." 'Xue Yunfeng' pondered for a few seconds before saying solemnly, "I really don't want to see you become friends.
We in oil painting all think of people as good children, but if we teach you to be like this, then you will trick yourself to death."
Linde was almost suffocated.
He had long known that this dog would never be able to spit out ivory, and that every word was heartbreaking, but... this was too cruel!
The key is that he has heard about Old Snow Dog's crow mouth before.
Therefore, almost as soon as he heard these words, Linde imagined dozens of consequences of being his own servant.
Damn, I guess by then, even if his brother wants to collect his body, he won't be able to find Zha'er.
Linde opened his mouth and swallowed back the sarcasm that had reached his lips... No, he couldn't afford to offend the guy in front of him.
"What are you doing?" 'Lu Huayu' came up with a few documents in his hand and a smile, "Lin De, I just have something to ask you."
"Why did you come here when you weren't looking at that painted Ellie outside?" 'Xueyunfeng' asked in surprise.
"Ellie, you are pretending to be a watchman now. It is estimated that there will be no movement until midnight. I have several people watching you! I also left an image." 'Lu Huayu' smiled and handed the document in his hand to Linde.
, "Look at this information. This is what we found in the last days, suitable for refugees entering the Kane Valley.
My occupation and identity have been recorded to ensure there is no falsehood, and my character is also up to standard. Come and see if you need anything."
'Xueyunfeng' blinked, then blinked again, and then said slowly: "Are you going to do this? You are so... precise!"
"Is it possible that you plan to send a few people directly to Linde?
For people who are born into noble families, is it okay if you let them choose their own people? Why don't you just give them away?
Are you afraid that the relationship between us and Linde will be too harmonious?"
Lin De, who lowered his head to flip through the documents, paused with his hands, and then said softly: "Well... I have never doubted the position of Commander Xueyunfeng.
I just don't want to choose adults who have already developed their own set of theories into my castle.
Many things are unique here in the Cairn Valley, but some people, like Ted beside my father, are loyal, they stand firm, and they are absolutely willing to fight for the master they follow, but they also...will
I feel like I'm being controlled by you.
They will definitely do something that affects our relationship in order to protect their master's interests.
What I need is a close confidant who turns a blind eye to these things in the Cairn Valley, not, well... this so-called loyal person."
Then he sighed softly: "I am a person who is easily swayed, so it is better to try to avoid being around people who want to persuade you."
'Lu Huayu' raised his eyebrows, sat down next to him, and pointed him to turn to the third page: "Look, can you use these people?"
Lind turned over and exclaimed: "What? How could a nobleman dismiss all his servants?
And...what about it, don’t you still have the basic food provided by the temple?”
"Look at the location.
This is the house of the lord of the city where your brother was almost killed." 'Lu Huayu' curled his lips, "First they were tortured by the Yue Clan and burned down half of the city, and because of that, they were beaten by the big men they were attached to.
Nobles give up... Your brother is being hunted!
No matter how much your father endures, he can never endure the humiliation of having his heir hunted down!
Therefore, the city lord was thrown out to appease your father's anger.
As for whether there are other secret compensations, we don't know... There is no need to be too concerned about this kind of thing.
That's all.
However, it seems that your father did not intend to eradicate the root cause, but just peeled off a layer of skin there.
Then you should understand the nobility. Things like ostentation are very important, so as long as the servants remain on the surface.
Those who have been prepared for the future, especially the little servants bought from villages and towns, are no longer necessary in times of natural disasters such as this.
After all, if they are fed the same food as the poor people outside and are beaten and scolded, it will be almost difficult to cultivate loyalty."
"I know about this. Not only those families, Lusimar also sent some apology gifts to the castle on behalf of the Ismail family." Lind suddenly raised his head, "Some things were given to Ellie.
I don’t know if these things also...had any impact on her ending up like this."
‘Xueyunfeng’ shook his head: “There will definitely be no problems with the Ismail family’s things. You are a bit of a bastard, Linde.
She wouldn't reveal her whereabouts for something like this.
If you really have any problems, you have to look for them from the Hall of Wealth."
Linde looked at the girl in white standing independent in the wind outside the glass window, and pursed her lips: "I understand."
‘Xueyunfeng’ and ‘Lu Huayu’ exchanged glances.
‘Lu Huayu’’s eyes were full of sneers: Hehe~ The crow’s mouth scares people, right? Look at Linde’s cautious appearance!
'Xueyunfeng' pointed helplessly at the jasmine at hand: Windmill jasmine is good for everything, but this kind of scent that makes people relax their vigilance can't be avoided even by the undead. He really can't hold back.
'Xue Yunfeng' waved his hand, copied a dozen pieces of paper from his tablet, and handed it to Linde: "You can read it from our side too!
Sometimes, it is impossible for us here in the Aotian League to do things as meticulously and carefully as Eunuch Lu.
Sometimes if you are not used to something, you can talk to Lu Huayu first.
Although you will not be dissatisfied with us because of this, why do you want to wrong yourself?
We are allies, and when we get along, it is best if both parties are comfortable."
Linde nodded silently, picked up the pen on the low table in front of him and quickly made a dozen ticks: "These trained servants, if you want the best, take them all.
Even if they are still honest now, their thoughts will still change a little when they live completely different lives from their former companions.
They are too young to do work like farming.
For girls, you can find a few older ones.
Now I need a kitchen maid and a laundry maid, and I can't let puppets do the work for the servants.
These few have obviously been trained by low-level maids, and it is enough for them to teach them the rules. There is no need for them to go upstairs anyway."
'Xueyunfeng' carefully and covertly observed Linde's selection principles, pointing to 'Lu Huayu': "I'll leave this matter to you. When the time comes, you can take the list and pick up the people."
Then he asked Linde seriously: "I see that you are not very picky about looks. Even women, they all seem to be quite strong. Why?"
"Except for the castle maids, who are the ones that guests will see on the outside, basically the nobles' requirements for servants are not good looks, but competence. Although this kind of thing is mainly the job of the housekeeper, we have also been doing it since we were young.
I can learn some castle management methods." Linde didn't understand why he asked this question, "Besides, the reputation is not good!
How nasty does it take for someone to want to attack a laundry maid?"
