Celestial Mage

Chapter 233 Open the box and let everyone open their eyes (24)

After a while, Rosen saw the old man who came to visit beside the convoy.

They stood in the open space outside the stone wall, surrounded by a circle of guards, and there were many spectators standing on the stone wall behind.

There are 6 elderly people, all of whom are thin, and their faces are covered with inscription-like wrinkles, but their backs are basically straight, and their faces are not too humble, but more vigilant and suspicious.

The clothes on their bodies were old and dirty, and there were many patches, but they were still a long way from being ragged.

Compared with the other old and weak townspeople I saw next to the ruins yesterday, these old people are quite decent, and they should indeed be some prestigious elders in the town.

Rosen and Xia Bolai arrived together.

As soon as the two arrived, the old people stood up, and one of the bald old people asked.

"Who is the new lord of Crescent Town?"

"it's me."

Xia Bolai took a step forward, but his voice was not loud.

The bald old man stretched out his hands and raised his ears, and asked loudly, "What did you say?"

The elderly are deaf.

Xia Bolai shouted: "I am the lord!"

Only then did the bald old man hear clearly, and a trace of respect appeared on his face.

"My lord, it was announced yesterday that you will be paid one kray for a day's work, and you will still be in charge of food and housing. Is it true?"

Rosen was in charge of this matter, but Xia Bolai didn't understand, but he was very relieved of Rosen, and he felt that the salary of one Cray was not too much.

So, he raised his hand and shouted solemnly: "Old man, I swear by the glory of the Omexia family, the recruitment announcement is all true!"

Not only because the old man is deaf, but also because there are many citizens listening behind him, so he simply took the opportunity to do a wave of publicity.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, an old man who had lost one of his front teeth sneered.

"Hoho~~ The previous lord also said the same thing, but the whole town died!"

"The previous lord said the same thing. In the end, he didn't even give us time to plant and cultivate the land. He knew that we should work for his family all day long!"

"Yes, yes, the Omexia family has no glory at all, they are all liars!"

Another lame old man chimed in.

Xia Bolai was not happy: "Old man, how can you say that? Are you not afraid that I will arrest you and go to jail?"

The old man with missing front teeth suddenly sneered.

"Come and catch me~ My old man eats the last meal every day, and he can still eat bad food in prison. Maybe he can live for a few more years."

"That's right, that's right~~ Haven't we seen anything before? Those despicable lords' things can scare others, but they can't scare us. At worst, we will die!"

"This black fat man is not a good person at first glance. If such a person becomes the new lord, New Moon Town must have no use. Brothers, I think we should go back."

Xia Bolai said one sentence, and was immediately reprimanded with three sentences, which left him speechless.

On the opposite side are all old men in their early 60s, who walk tremblingly, and it is estimated that they will die if they touch it.

How could he really catch the deal, it was just to scare the other party, but these old guys are not afraid at all.

While he was at a loss what to do, Rosen's slightly smiling voice sounded beside him: "Uncle, let me do it."

Xia Bolai nodded immediately: "Okay, okay, come and go, these old guys are too difficult to deal with."

He then pointed to Rosen and loudly introduced it to the old man in front.

"Here, this is Mage Rosen, the mayor of Crescent Town. He was able to shoot so many Digo last night because of the mayor's powerful spells. Be careful what you say, he is not as good-tempered as I am."

The six elders all turned to look at Rosen.

After a few glances, the old man with missing front teeth frowned: "What is the mayor of Laoshizi, isn't this a little baby?"

"Look at this age, it's too young to be my grandson, and the mayor? You're lying."

"Walk around, this group of people is full of nonsense, and there must be no tricks in Xinyue Town."

Several old men turned around and were about to leave.

Rosen coughed lightly, and shouted: "One day's salary is one kray, it's absolutely true."

While speaking, he took out more than a dozen shiny gold coins and tossed them back and forth in the palm of his hand.

"Old man, as long as you are willing to work, you will have enough money!"

The sunlight shone on the gold coins, refracting soul-stirring light, and the gold coins collided with each other, and the clear and crisp vibrations directly cured the deafness of the elders.

The old man with missing front teeth stopped immediately, his eyes flicked up and down with the gold coin in Rosen's palm.

"Little baby~ are you really the mayor?"

"Yes."

'Om~'

A ball of light the size of an egg appeared on the palm of Rosen's left hand, and the ball of light turned into a burning flame again, but it was the breath of a small magic flame.

The ordinary old man couldn't tell the strength of the spell. Seeing that Rosen was able to control the flames, the awe on his face became much stronger, and he believed in his words even more.

But although ordinary people don't understand spells, they know very well about secular money.

Especially these old people, who have been poor all their lives, have been thinking about making more money all their lives, and care about every copper.

They are not easy to cheat when it comes to money.

It was still the old man with missing front teeth, he quickly came back to his senses, the wrinkles on his face outlined a strong color of suspicion.

"Little baby, don't think I'm easy to deceive. Old man, I have seen some things in the world when I was young, and I even learned arithmetic."

"According to what you said, one person per day is one kray, so 1000 krays are 100 krays, and 1 krays are 1000 krays."

"It's just wages. Construction timber, stones, tools, etc. all cost money. Don't say you can't afford the money, I'm afraid the Earl of Silvermoon Castle can't afford the money!"

"Yes, yes, we have heard that the new lord is a slutty man who spends all his money on women, and his pockets are cleaner than his face."

"I think you are definitely trying to trick us into doing our jobs for nothing!"

As she listened, Xia Bolai felt her cheeks burning hot, and her heart became more and more empty, and she couldn't help but move closer to Rosen.

"Rawson, aren't we running out of money? How can we pay such a high salary?"

Rosen smiled and comforted: "Don't worry, I'm prepared."

As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Haruk who was beside Xia Bolai.

"Uncle, go and carry out the cash box, so that everyone can open their eyes!"

Not only these old men, but also opened the eyes of the residents of Xinyue Town who followed them to the north, letting everyone know that the recruitment announcement was true.

Money really matters!

"okay!"

Harrick trotted towards a carriage, and in a short while, he commanded a team of Silver Moon Rangers to carry back two heavy wooden boxes one meter long and wide.

'Kang Dang~~Kang Dang~'

The two wooden boxes were placed on the open space, the lids were opened, and the sunlight shone in. One box was bright yellow, and the other was shining brightly, making people panic.

Xia Bolai took a look with his head, his eyes almost fell off.

"How can there be so much money?"

There are two large wooden boxes, the left side is full of gold coins, and the right side is full of silver coins. There are too many to count. It is estimated that there are more than 1 crowns in cash.

Rosen opened the lid wide, and said to the old man with missing front teeth.

"Old man, have you seen so much money?"

The old man with missing front teeth couldn't close his mouth, his lips were trembling, and saliva was dripping from the corner of his mouth.

"Duoduo is really a lot. Today is an eye-opener."

Looking at the other old men, they all looked blinded.

The leaders watching the excitement on the stone wall, and the silver moon ranger carrying money, were all dazzled.

This money is too much!
Rosen reached out to pick up a handful of shiny yellow gold coins, and let it slip through his fingers and fall back into the cash box.

He said loudly: "All this money will be used to build Xinyue Town, and this is the first tranche, and there will be a second and third tranche in the future!"

Today is different, he is the mayor now, and will be the lord of Crescent Town in the future.

Paying the residents is not spending money, but injecting liquidity into the New Moon Town market to boost productivity.

It doesn't need to be too much, an injection of [-] crowns is enough for market circulation.

Given the scope of activities of farmers in this era, the money was still in Crescent Town.

When the small town rises and the market is perfected, every time the money circulates in the small town market, it can stimulate a lot of wealth creation.

And as a lord, he can legally reap wealth through taxation, crop by crop.

This is the biggest sheep herding deal for a lord!

And following his movement, everyone's faces showed joyful expressions, and they couldn't help turning their ears to listen to the wonderful sound of metal collisions.

Qian's voice is really sweet!

Rosen smiled and looked at the old man with missing front teeth: "Old man, do you think we won't be able to pay our wages?"

"I can afford it, but I'm afraid you won't count on what you say, and you won't pay for the work you did!"

Rosen winked at Xia Bolai, and Xia Bolai received it.

For a rare moment of alertness, he began to shout again.

"As the new lord of Crescent Town, I swear in the name of the God of Gold, if I break my promise, I will suffer God's punishment and die!"

In the area of ​​Silvermoon Castle, the belief in the God of Gold is still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so Xia Bolai's oath is quite heavy.

Seeing that the elders were all moved, Rosen persuaded them pointedly.

"Old man, bandits and bandits definitely have no future. As long as your nephews are willing to come back to help and abide by the laws of Crescent Town, then we will pretend that nothing happened before."

"However, Luo Fanle must die!"

The faces of the elders moved again, but none of them spoke, obviously thinking about gains and losses.

"Uncle, put away the cash box."

Harrick complied.

When he was collecting the cash box, everyone was staring at the box, watching the fading light with longing eyes.

'click~'

When the lid of the box was closed, many people showed a look of despair on their faces.

In the end, the elders left with complicated faces.

After they left, Xia Bolai pulled Rosen and Harrick back and asked in a low voice, "Why didn't I know there was so much money?"

Rosen shrugged: "You didn't ask."

Harrick shot him a contemptuous look and spoke more directly.

"You spend a lot of money, and when you meet a beautiful girl, your fingers will leak. If I let you know that you have so much money, you won't think about it all day long."

Xia Bolai smiled awkwardly: "Then you have to let me know."

Harrick snorted: "Eating and drinking will not hurt you, why do you know so much? Give it to women?"

Seeing that Xia Bolai still wanted to refute, he continued to vaccinate.

"Xia Bolai, you have to be careful. This money is earned by Luo Sen. It is Luo Sen's money. It is used to build the town. It cannot be spent indiscriminately."

"Then, we all know your character. You get carried away when you have money. It's inevitable that you will defeat the future Crescent Town in advance. Don't worry about the money in the town."

These words left Xia Bolai speechless, and he also knew that he was a loser.

But he was still a little unwilling, so he was silent for a while, and discussed: "I must have some money in my hand, otherwise I, the acting lord, won't be able to get a single Cray out of my pocket, what a shame."

This is also true.

Rosen made the decision: "Uncle, you can freely control 300 crowns in the next month. If you run out, you have to wait until the next month, and you can't pay in advance. Is that enough?"

300 kroner is more than ten times higher than the salary of a first-class guerrilla general.

Xia Bolai was satisfied immediately: "Enough is enough~~hehehe~"

Rosen and Harrick glanced at each other quietly, and both sighed secretly, feeling that Xia Bolai really couldn't stick to the wall.

Fortunately, although there are many shortcomings, there is a huge advantage, that is, they pay great attention to friendship and can listen to words.

As long as someone is willing to take care of him, he won't be too absurd.

After some repairs, the convoy set off again, all the way over the mountains and ridges.

At noon the next day, the convoy arrived at the township building that Rosen was looking for.

Xia Bolai looked at the large open space with a flat terrain and a wide view, and nodded in satisfaction.

"Not bad~ very good, this place is much better than that place in Yuehui Town!"
