Chapter 233 Opening the Box and Opening Everyone's Eyes 2/4
Chapter 233 The box is opened to open everyone’s eyes (24)
After a while, Rosen saw the old man who came to visit beside the motorcade.
They stood in the open space outside the stone wall, surrounded by a circle of guards, and on the stone wall behind them were many people watching the excitement.
There are six old people, all of them are thin, their faces are full of wrinkles like knife carvings, but their backs are basically straight, and their expressions of humility are not strong, but more of vigilance and suspicion.
Their clothes were old and dirty, and there were many patches, but they were still far from being ragged.
Compared with the other old and frail townspeople I saw near the ruins yesterday, these old people are quite respectable. They should indeed be elders with some reputation in the town.
Rosen and Chaballet arrived together.
As soon as the two arrived, the old people stood up, and one of them, a bald old man, asked.
"Who is the new lord of Crescent Town?"
"It's me."
Harrick complied.
This is also true.
"That's right."
The old man with missing front teeth suddenly sneered.
Rosen smiled and looked at the old man with missing front teeth: "Old man, do you think we won't be able to pay the wages?"
Two wooden boxes were placed on the open ground respectively. When the lids were opened, the sun shone in. One box was yellow and the other was bright, which made people panic.
A ball of light as big as an egg appeared on the palm of Rosen's left hand. The ball of light turned into a burning flame, but it was a small trick called Breath of Flame.
"Let's go, these people are talking nonsense. There must be no tricks in Crescent Town."
After a few glances, the old man with missing front teeth frowned: "Mayor Laoshizi, isn't this a little baby?"
An ordinary old man can't tell the strength of a spell. When he saw that Rosen could actually control flames, the look of awe on his face became much thicker, and he became more convinced of his words.
"Look at your age. You are too young to be my grandson, but you are the mayor? What a liar."
‘Kang Dang~~ Bang Dang~’
In the end, the old men left with complicated expressions.
"Well, this is Master Rosen, the mayor of Crescent Town. He was able to fuck so many diggos last night, all thanks to the mayor's powerful spells. Be careful what you say, he is not as good-tempered as me."
"Okay!"
After they left, Charbolet grabbed Rosen and Harrick and asked in a low voice: "Why didn't I know there was so much money?"
Seeing that the elders were all moved, Luo Sen gave some advice.
The sound of money is so sweet!
"This is just wages. Construction wood, stones, tools, etc. all cost money. Don't say you can't afford it, I'm afraid even the Earl of Silver Moon Castle can't afford it!"
Xia Bolay smiled awkwardly: "Then you have to let me know."
300 kronor is more than ten times higher than the salary of a first-class guerrilla general. This is a lot of money.
‘Click~’
"Xia Bolay, you have to be careful. This money was earned by Rosen. It is Rosen's money. It is used to build the town. It cannot be spent indiscriminately."
"You spend money lavishly, and your fingers will leak when you meet a beautiful girl. If I let you know that I have so much money, you wouldn't think about it all day long."
After a rare moment of ingenuity, he started shouting again.
As he spoke, he took out a dozen shiny gold coins and tossed them back and forth in the palm of his hand.
Harrick hummed: "You won't lose money on food and drink. Why do you know so much? Give it to a woman?"
When the lid of the box was closed, many people had a look of despair on their faces.
Looking at the other old men, they all looked blind.
"Yes, yes, yes~~ What haven't we seen? The things of despicable lords like you can scare others, but they can't scare us. The worst is that we will die!"
"Yes, yes, we have heard that the new lord is a swinger. All his money is in women, and his pocket is cleaner than his face."
Seeing that Chabolai still wanted to refute, he continued to take vaccinations.
Xia Bolay took a look and his eyes almost fell off.
The sunlight shines on the gold coins, refracting the soul-stirring light, and the gold coins collide with each other, emitting a crisp vibration, which directly cures the deafness of the elderly.
"Lord, the announcement yesterday said that you will be paid one krey for a day's work, and you will also take care of food and housing. Is it true?"
The six elders all turned to look at Rosen.
Another lame old man echoed.
Xia Bolay said one thing, and he was immediately shouted back three times, which left him speechless.
So, he raised his hands and shouted solemnly: "Old man, I swear on the honor of the Omicia family that everything stated in the recruitment announcement is the truth!"
"The last lord said the same thing, but he didn't even give us time to sow and cultivate the land, and he asked us to work for his family all day long!"
But although ordinary people don't know much about magic, they know a lot about worldly money.
Xia Bolai nodded immediately: "Okay, okay, you come, you come, these old guys are too difficult to deal with."
It doesn’t need to be much, an injection of fifty thousand crowns is enough to circulate the market.
"Little doll~Are you really the mayor?"
This is the biggest sheep-herding business for a lord!
"Yes, yes, the Omicia family has no glory at all, they are all liars!"
As a lord, he can legally harvest wealth through taxation and crop after crop.
"Then, we all know your character. Once you have money, you will get carried away. Otherwise, you will ruin the future of Crescent Town in advance. You should leave the town's money affairs alone."
"How come there is so much money?"
The bald old man stretched out his hand to show his ears and asked loudly: "What did you say?"
Given the scope of activities of farmers in this era, the money ended up in Crescent Town.
As long as someone is willing to control him, he won't be too ridiculous.
Harric trotted towards a carriage. After a while, he commanded a team of Silver Moon Rangers to carry back two heavy wooden boxes one meter long and wide.
How could he really arrest him? He just wanted to scare the other party, but these old guys were not afraid at all.
The old man with missing front teeth could not close his mouth, his lips were trembling, and drool kept dripping from the corners of his mouth.
"I think you must be trying to trick us into working for nothing again!"
"Old man, have you ever seen so much money?"
"There are really a lot of Duoduoduo. Today is an eye-opener."
He then pointed at Rosen and loudly introduced him to the old man in front of him.
Today is different from the past. Now he is the mayor of the town, and he will be the lord of Crescent Town in the future.
These words left Chabolai speechless, and he knew that he was a leaky man.
"Rosen, aren't we running out of money soon? How can we pay for such a high salary?"
Rosen made the decision: "Uncle, you can spend 300 kronor freely in the next month. If you use it up, you have to wait until next month, and you can't advance it. Is that enough?"
When he collected the cash box, everyone was staring at the box, watching the disappearing light with nostalgia.
The old man with missing front teeth stopped immediately, his eyes following the gold coins in Rosen's hand as they swayed up and down.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, an old man who had lost a front tooth and spoke in a leaky manner sneered.
Paying wages to the residents is not just spending money, but injecting liquidity into the Crescent Town market to promote productivity.
Just as he was at a loss what to do, Rosen's slightly smiling voice sounded from beside him: "Uncle, let me do it."
‘Buzz~’
In the Silver Moon Castle area, the belief in the Golden God is still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so Shabolai's oath is quite heavy.
Rosen was responsible for this matter, and Chaballet didn't understand it. However, he felt reassured about Rosen and felt that one krei's salary was not much.
He was still the same old man with missing front teeth. He quickly came to his senses, and the wrinkles on his face outlined a strong look of suspicion.
Harrick glared at him with contempt and spoke more directly.
"I can afford it, but I'm afraid you won't keep your word and you'll do the work but won't pay!"
Rosen smiled and comforted: "Don't worry, I'm prepared."
Rosen then winked at Chabolai, who received it.
"Uncle, go take out the cash box and let everyone open their eyes!"
As he said that, he turned to look at Harik next to Shabolai.
Charbolet shouted: "I am the lord!"
"Old man, there is definitely no future for bandits and bandits. As long as your nephew is willing to come back to help and abide by the laws of Crescent Town, then we will pretend that what happened before has never happened."
The citizens watching the excitement on the stone wall and the Silver Moon Ranger carrying the money were all stunned.
Money is really enough!
"As you said, one person has one kroner per day, so 1,000 is 100 kronor, and 10,000 is 1,000 kroner."
"As the new lord of Crescent Town, I swear in the name of the Golden God that if I break my promise, I will suffer divine punishment and die!"
He said loudly: "This money will all be used to build Crescent Town, and this is the first payment, and there will be a second and third payment in the future!"
Xia Bolay was unhappy: "Old man, how can you say that? Aren't you afraid that I will arrest you and put you in jail?"
And following his action, everyone's face showed a look of joy, and they couldn't help but turn their ears to listen to the wonderful sound of metal collision.
Rosen coughed slightly and shouted: "One kray a day's wages, it's absolutely true."
But he was still a little unwilling. He was silent for a while and then discussed: "You must let me have some money in my hand, otherwise I, the acting lord, won't be able to get a single kray out of my pocket. How embarrassing it would be."
"But Luofanle must die!"
The old man is deaf.
"Old man, as long as you are willing to work, you will have enough money!"
Only then did the bald old man hear clearly, and a hint of respect appeared on his face.
"This fat black guy doesn't look like a good person at first glance. If such a person becomes the new lord, Crescent Town will definitely have trouble. Old man, I think we should go back."
Rosen opened the lid wide and said to the old man who was missing his front teeth.
Not only because the old man is deaf, but also because there are many local people listening behind him, so we simply took the opportunity to do a wave of publicity.
Xia Bolai was immediately satisfied: "That's enough, that's enough~~hehehe~"
The expressions of the elders changed again, but none of them spoke, obviously thinking about the pros and cons.
When the town develops and the market is perfected, every time the money circulates in the town market, a large amount of wealth will be created.
Several old men turned around and left.
The people across the street are all old men in their early 60s. They walk tremblingly. If they touch them, they will probably be dead.
Fortunately, although there are many shortcomings, there is one huge advantage, which is that I attach great importance to friendship and can listen to what I say.
They are not easy to deceive when it comes to money-related matters.
"Hoho~~ The last lord said the same thing, and as a result, everyone in the town died!"
Especially old people like them, who have been poor all their lives, spent their whole lives thinking about making more money, and care about every penny.
This is too much money!
Rosen reached out and picked up a handful of shiny yellow gold coins, then let them slip from his fingers back into the cash box.
"Come and catch me~ My old man eats one meal every day, and he can still eat rotten food in prison. Maybe he can live for a few more years."
Chabolai took a step forward without speaking loudly.
As he listened, Xia Bolay felt that his cheeks were getting hot and his heart was getting weaker and weaker. He couldn't help but move closer to Rosen.
Rosen and Harrick quietly looked at each other and sighed secretly. They both felt that Xia Bolay was really confused.
There were two large wooden boxes. The left one was full of gold coins, and the right one was full of silver coins. There were too many to count. It was estimated that there were more than 10,000 kronor in cash.
Not only these old men, but also the citizens of Crescent Town who followed them northward opened their eyes, letting everyone know that the recruitment announcement was true.
"Little baby, don't think I'm easy to deceive. Old man, I saw a lot of the world when I was young, and I even learned arithmetic."
Rosen shrugged: "You didn't even ask."
"Uncle, put the cash box away."
After some repairs, the convoy set off again, traveling over mountains and ridges.
At noon the next day, the convoy arrived at the town building site that Rosen had chosen.
Xia Bolay looked at the large open space with flat terrain and wide field of vision, and nodded with satisfaction.
"Not bad~very good. This place is much better than that shabby place in Yuehui Town!"
