"I am a child of the Mark family, the eldest one, Lord Baron." The thin boy replied to William with a little pride and a little inferiority complex.
"Mark's family?" William thought for a moment, "Oh, so you are a child of the Mark's family!"
"Lord Baron, do you know my father?" The thin boy was stunned for a moment, then raised his head and looked at William with wide eyes.
"Of course, I am very impressed by him!"
Isn’t William still impressed by Mark?
He was the first villager to bring golden grass to him in exchange for copper coins. He was also one of the first villagers to sign up to weave baskets.
William was weaving baskets and brooms in the open space next to the earthen house every day. William looked up and saw them without looking down. How could he not be deeply impressed?
Of course, all the golden grass has been used up, and the villagers have also gone nearby to look for what William wants in exchange for a high reward.
This is also the reason why Knight West came into the village but found few people.
"Really?" The boy from the Mark family couldn't believe that a dignified lord would actually remember his father.
"Of course, I won't lie to you! Your father, Mark, is a brave man. Yes, I think he is a brave man!" William praised, everyone said that a literary giant in his previous life was the first one who dared to eat
Crab people are brave!
The same is true for Mark.
He was the first person who dared to come over with golden grass and exchange it for copper coins.
"Thank you for your compliment!" The boy from Mark's family did not expect that his father would receive such a high praise from William, and he felt a little proud for a moment.
"What I said is only the truth! In addition, I have to say, little guy, you are also a brave person." William praised again.
"Lord Baron, I just did what I should do." The boy from Mark's family was a little embarrassed.
"This is something that many people cannot do. The shining point in you is enough to make others lose their luster!" William's words of praise made the little boy dizzy and blushed.
"Lord Baron, you...I..." The little boy couldn't say a complete sentence.
"Little warrior, why didn't you risk your life just now and not confess me?" William has always been curious about this.
The boy from Mark's family said matter-of-factly, "Lord Baron, you allowed our parents, brothers, and sisters to eat black bread. I can't let you be exposed to danger!"
Eating black bread? William was a little stunned. Sure enough, can money bring loyalty?
William laughed to himself, looked at the boy, and asked again.
"By the way, I don't know your name yet, little warrior?"
"Kerry, Klimak! Lord Baron, my name is Klimak!" the thin boy replied quickly.
"Oh, Klimac!" After William read the name of the thin boy, his eyes moved and he asked, "How old are you this year?"
"Seventeen years old, Lord Baron."
"Seventeen years old?" William looked at Klimac, who was much shorter than himself, and was stunned for a moment. He couldn't tell that he was already seventeen years old.
Well, he can't apply his 21st century vision here to them. William thought to himself, he hesitated for a moment, then made a decision and asked the boy, "Krimac, I'm going to go to the village to
Form a guard team, little warrior, are you willing to join?"
"Guards?" Klimak's eyes were filled with confusion.
"Yes. The escort team is a team that protects me and the villagers." William explained kindly.
"Then... then, Lord Baron, after I join the escort, can I still pick up excrement?" Klimak hesitated and asked cautiously.
"Picking up feces? Stupid! The Baron personally invited you, but you only think about picking up these disgusting things!" Old John on the side finally couldn't help scolding.
"I'm sorry, Master John."
Klimak was immediately frightened like a panicked rabbit. During this period, Old John's prestige in the village was growing day by day. After all, he was in charge of the exchange rights of items.
None of the villagers dared to offend him.
"Old John, don't scare him, he's just a child!" William interrupted with a smile.
William's smile was bright, like the sun in Klimak's eyes at this moment!
Old John snorted and stopped talking. He was still worried about winter!
William patted Old John on the shoulder, chuckled, and then said to Klimak, "Krimak, I'm sorry, once you join the guard, you have to participate in various trainings, and you have to patrol the village to protect other people.
Villager! So, you can no longer pick up...pick up dung!"
Klimak was disappointed when he heard this.
"Kerry, tell me, why do you want to pick up excrement?" William looked curious.
Klimak hesitated for a moment, glanced at Old John, and then said, "Because one basket of dung can be exchanged for two Poole copper coins. Three baskets. As long as three baskets are used, I can exchange for six Poole copper coins. Unlike the stingy man,
Adams bought a loaf of brown bread, ate it with his brothers, sisters, father and mother, and saved a copper coin."
Klimak counted on his fingers.
"Hahaha... Kerry, but if you join the escort team, you will be paid!" Although he guessed the reason why Klimac wanted to pick up excrement, William still couldn't help but laughed when it came out of his mouth.
laugh.
"Salary?" Klimak asked puzzledly. He didn't understand the term.
"It's just that I have money to take it!" William had to explain.
Do you have money? Klimac's eyes lit up. He hesitated for a moment, and finally plucked up the courage to ask William, "Lord Baron, how much can the escort you mentioned get?"
Klimak asked carefully.
"Let me think about it." William said. William had wanted to form this escort team for a long time, but he was busy with work, so he kept pushing it back!
It was not until just now that William saw another lord's knight deserted in his territory, that William finally made up his mind to organize this escort.
You can't just let him, the lord, come in every time something happens. Besides, it's hard for two fists to beat four hands!
"The guards are paid twenty-five copper coins every day!" William said, "That's 7 francs of silver and 50 copper coins every month."
"Dong dong dong..."
Klimak felt his heart beating violently, and his eyes were filled with disbelief.
"In addition, food is included!" William added this, mainly because he will lead the escort team for training in the future, and high-intensity training is impossible without adequate nutrition.
If conditions permit, William actually wants to live in it, but currently he doesn't have any spare house. The mud house is full of woven handicrafts, so he can only let the Guard members live in his own home.
Klimak's little heart beat faster. He swallowed his saliva and asked William, "My Lord Baron, what is a free meal?"
"The food you eat is all provided by the Baron. Little guy, why don't you thank the generous Baron!" Old John said angrily as he helped William answer Klimak's question.
If it weren't for the fact that Klimak would be admitted into the escort by William and become his colleague in the future, Old John would not call him a little guy, but a pariah!
At this point, the attitudes of Old John and the West knight were similar. They both treated these villagers with a condescending attitude.
"Thank you, Lord Baron, thank you, Lord Baron!" Klimak knelt down and kowtowed to William desperately.
William helped him up, and Klimac kept thanking him.
His intentions were good, but his tone made William a little unbearable.
While enduring the poison gas attack, William pretended as if nothing had happened, and while thinking about how to solve the villagers' personal hygiene problems, he could still say, "So, Kerry, are you willing to join the guard?"
"
"Yes, Lord Baron, I do! I am willing to fight for you!"
"Okay!" William nodded, avoiding Klimak's tone of attack without leaving a trace, and then said, "Two days later, you go to the earthen house and report to me!"
"Yes, Lord Baron!" Klimac nodded sharply.
"Also, clean up these things. Take them and bury them in the compost pit. I'll give you two copper coins." Old John pointed to the feces on the ground and said.
The compost pit was the name William gave to the pit he dug outside the village.
Although Old John didn't know the meaning, it didn't stop the name from becoming popular in the village.
The villagers now all know that if you pick up a basket of excrement from the compost pit and find Master John, you can exchange it for two Poole copper coins.
Without saying a word, Klimak picked up the feces with his hands and put it into the basket.
