Transmigration of the bastard lord
Chapter 20 Difficult choices
Mark, the supervisor, has a certain management ability and has received a complete enlightenment education before the age of 12. Whether it is wisdom or understanding of etiquette, he is considered outstanding among illiterate civilians.Although he is no longer eligible to use his full name, he originally had a surname before his original family broke up.
His grandfather was a second-tier warrior who was employed by a minor nobleman. After the age of 40, he retired due to injury. He returned to his hometown of Anpu City with thousands of gold coins, married a wife and had children, and started a stable life. Manor.
Perhaps it was because the old man had suffered too much, married three wives and gave birth to only one son, so he doted on this only bloodline very much.Mark's father developed a particularly arrogant and selfish character under the pampering and pampering, without any talents except greed and gambling.After the death of Mark's grandfather, all the older sisters were married to other places, and only a very small amount of dowry was given.
When Mark was born, the family still had manors, sprawling mansions, and hordes of servants.At the age when Mark started school, the mansion in the city shrank to only half of its original size, and a large number of servants were dismissed. Only the manor was still running well.
By the time Mark was ten, his father had become hopelessly enamored with underground casinos.The small fights of the previous 30 years are nothing compared to the two years of squandering in underground casinos.After finishing his enlightenment studies with difficulty, Mark looked back in a daze and found that the manor had changed owners, and all the original mansions had also belonged to others.I and my parents were driven to the civilian area of the outer city, and there were no servants in the house. The life of the father and son was maintained by the mother cleaning the curtains and sheets in the hotel.
Unable to accept his father's failure in life, he sold his mother to the owner of the hotel in his last resort, and then walked into the casino again with the dozens of silver coins in his pocket.
After that, Mark never saw his father again. Having lost the protection of his family, he fell to the streets, worked as a beggar, and worked as a follower of a hooligan.When you are lucky, you can help the hawkers settle accounts in exchange for a full meal; when you are unlucky, you can only squeeze with a bunch of people at the back of the hotel, fighting for the food waste that was thrown out.
When the butler Bernard found him, he bought out Mark's life for the next few decades with only fifty silver coins.
Because of literacy, Mark got the precious job opportunity to work alone on the Hein farm.For the past two years, he has worked conscientiously. He is disgusted with his father's libertine, and vowed to rely on his own ability to climb up. One day, he will be appreciated by the big housekeeper, and he will be transferred to work in the castle. A chance to get ahead.
So, Mark hated that woman very much.
Ms. Nina is the seventh concubine of the earl. She was born as a dancer of a song and dance troupe, and she has a proud figure and a good singing voice.In order to look good when dancing, the girls who grew up in the song and dance troupe had part of their heels cut off.Due to taking care of her, she couldn't travel long distances. When allocating the farm, the eldest lady Lilith allocated the Hein Farm, which was closest to the castle, to her to manage.
Ms. Nina, who has seen the dark side of life, is very sympathetic to the material poverty of the serfs. She sold her infrequently used jewelry and skirts to increase the food for the children on the farm.But as one of the sixteen concubines, although the earl treated her well, her financial resources were not enough to improve the lives of these large numbers of serfs.Somewhat paranoidly, she believed that these had something to do with the supervisor Mark, and thought that Mark, who had a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, did not look like a good man at first glance, had exploited these serfs a second time. Mark's disgust.
After the autumn harvest last year, when Mark collected the grain to be handed over, Nina stepped in, claiming that taking the grain would make the serfs unable to survive this winter, and she decided to reduce the [-]% of the grain that should be handed in to [-]%.
It is true that with the extra [-]% of food, no serf was starved to death last winter, and the children were not drowned because they couldn't feed them. However, Mark's dissatisfaction with Nina was rising day by day, to the point of hatred.
Mark, who also knows the dark side of life very well, understands that if he takes the initiative to report, as a servant, he exposes the master's concubine. This kind of thankless behavior will not only make him very passive, but may even become Nina's scapegoat.But continue to allow the woman to act recklessly. When this betrayal of the lord's interests is exposed one day, as an overseer, he will not be able to defend himself, and he may face the fate of losing his job and becoming a slave.He'd been delighted when someone came to the castle, thinking they were looking into it—see, the woman made a mess of it here.And I, a little person, have no choice but to cooperate with her.
But these people didn't seem to come to investigate the reduction in the amount of food turned in, and they started to pull supplies into the farm by cart after cart.After being dazed and confused for a few days, he had no choice but to keep his doubts in his stomach.Don't say what you shouldn't say. If you want to live a long time, the most important thing is to control your mouth.
However, five days ago, when Fu Youguang was assigning tasks in the hall of the stone house, the soldiers shouted "willing to die for the Earl", which finally made Mark understand that things are not good...
After struggling for five days in the fear of the incident being revealed and the worry that the report would incur the anger of the Earl, Mark finally plucked up the courage to confess to the Lord Lord.
In the hall that was still the stone house, Fu Youguang sat on the high-backed chair of the main seat, with an unpredictable expression, his fingers flicked on the armrest.Standing behind him was Daniel, who had remained unchanged for thousands of years, while the pastor, Mr. Bingley, was sitting on the side holding a book of holy scriptures. His magic stick looked like he was about to recite a large section of holy scriptures.
Mark knelt down on the stone slab in the middle of the hall, with his forehead pressed against the floor.After speaking in slightly trembling but clear words about the secrets that happened on this farm last year, Mark has entrusted his fate to the heavenly father.
After listening to Mark's confession, the Earl didn't make any statement.In other words, Fu Youguang didn't know how to express his position at this time.In Lord Earl's body, two souls are talking.
"This... that Miss Nina, she's quite a nice person, haha." Fu Youguang laughed dryly.
Sig Frandi didn't say anything. For the Earl of the original version, this kind of matter related to the fate of two little people is not worth mentioning in his eyes.Recently, Fu Youguang's attitude towards him has not been the same as in the beginning when he exploded in anger. Instead, after realizing his own shortcomings, he treated him with a little more politeness and respect.When he was not sick, Sig would not do stupid things like kicking his nose and face, so he calmly said to Youguang: "Are you going to forgive them?"
Fu Youguang rubbed his nose: "Well... To be honest, I don't think they did anything excessive... Isn't it great that no one starved to death on the farm? And I think it's a bit too much to hand over [-]% of the grain It's..."
Ignoring Fu Youguang's muttering, Sieg Frandi snorted coldly: "Mark betrayed his immediate boss, and Nina broke the rules in the castle without authorization. If Mark should be whipped and stripped of the supervisor Nina should be hanged for breaking the rules to warn others. Or is it that you, who were also in a certain system, thought that they broke the system and challenged the rules of the game? Can it be easily pardoned?"
"...Is it necessary to elevate the matter to such an extent? Is Nina your concubine? Is she going to be hanged?" The Earl's face darkened, which was a sign of dissatisfaction with Fu Youguang who had taken control of his body.
"Because I am my concubine, I have to abide by the rules of the castle system. For the people who are attached to Hydside Castle and live under Earl Frandy, the rules I made are the rules of this system. The only criterion. They have the same interests as mine, I guard their interests, and they guard my interests. Based on this, the system I represent can be invincible in the struggle." Sig Frandi said calmly, he Knowing that Fu Youguang is a mess in politics and under control, if he doesn't remind himself, this idiot will definitely act recklessly, "Now, there is a guy who challenges the rules in the system, if I don't deal with her, other people will accept the 'destruction' It's not a big sin for the castle's interests to challenge the rules of the territory' hints. Soon after, you'll see a second Nina, a third Nina. Do you really think it's right to let Nina go at this moment? "
"You want to implement the rules of the game in your world, and you want to change the minds of people in my world. In my opinion, this is more difficult than launching a civil war. But fortunately, you are short-sighted, and you still have some self-knowledge. In If there is nonsense in my territory, with the surname of Frandi and my wisdom, you will not be pushed to the gallows as a heretic. But at the same time, you must also know that the foundation of you and me is gathered in The people who are willing to be driven by you under the signboard of Earl Frandy. Are you sure you want to break the rules I used to gather these people on your own, just to spare that lifeless woman? Lost the awe of the identity of the Earl, You still want to carry out your plans of 'reform'? Who else will carry out your orders without doubt?"
Seeger's calm and indifferent voice sounded like a hammer, knocking Fu Youguang into the gopher hole. He was tongue-tied for a long time, not knowing how to refute.When an order is determined, even if it is an unreasonable order, as long as the people who enter the order and are willing to abide by the rules of the game approve it, then this order will be wholeheartedly maintained by these people.When the interests of these people are more and more tied to this order, even if those who create the order stand up and want to overthrow or modify this order, they will inevitably be resisted by the people who abide by the order.
Fu Youguang fed the serfs, clothed them warmly, and paid them wages, but for at least two or three years, before the construction he expected had achieved concrete results, he would not dare to tell anyone other than Sig to restore those things. The idea of serf freeman status.
It doesn't matter if he lets professional strongmen dig mud, tear down walls, and build cowsheds.As long as these professional experts still enjoy superior treatment, no matter how depressed they are, they will obediently obey him, the false earl.But if he asked these professional powerhouses to treat the serfs as compatriots and live with them on an equal footing... well, then his degree of death would be comparable to that of Sig.
To be honest, the grain harvested by a farm in a year is nothing to the earl and the people in the entire castle system.But this is the interest of the castle system after all.The sinners who blatantly tolerated and forgave the interests of the castle system were the Earl who thought he was standing too firmly and felt uncomfortable, so he dug a hole for himself...
The Earl raised his head at 45 degrees melancholy, and looked at the ceiling with his big white eyes.What a mess...why are you so worried?
