Chapter 163

Chapter 163

In the room, it wasn't anyone else sitting in front of Charya, but Yulia, who had a big belly.

From now on, a group of Char's people, whether they are Cato Shalpa or Afrecate, are either born in the army, or hunters in the mountains, or are born of warriors-they are all regarded as killing Han.

After Xia Ya came to the imperial capital, she had a lot of windfall, and gradually had a small family business, but to maintain things such as daily expenses and account details at home, a few big men could only stare.

Fortunately, there is also Kevin's widow, Yulia. These days, Yulia's spirit gradually improves. Seeing several big men glaring at the affairs of the family's accounts every day, she came forward.

Although Yulia didn't have much talent to learn, but she came from a middle-class family, and she still had some ink in her belly, and Kevin was out of battle all year round. It was her own responsibility to manage the family's affairs. Only, but I don't know how many times stronger than a few big men. She refused to be raised in vain under Charlie's care, and she had some resources. Xia also feels that letting her do something, she can send a depression in her heart. Moreover, this trivial matter of everyone eating horse chewing rice oil and salt is really giving him a headache. Can someone like Yulia be assured to manage him Unexpectedly, he agreed.

As a result, Yulia became a steward at Charya's house.

"Sia." Yulia sighed, her face a little worried: "Don't worry about it first, I'll calculate it slowly

listen. "

Xia respects this widow's widow very much, although he occasionally plays tricks on others

, But in the past Yulia has always been rigorous and respectful, even when talking to the old guy

He ’s never been so respectful together

Tu Yan took a breath, and said positively: "Well, I was in a hurry just now, you slowly say

Hmm ... isn't it just money? No, I just sold this house. "

"You don't need to sell a house." Yulia smiled slightly, stroking her belly with one hand, slowly

"I counted it, this is a big house with a total of forty-nine rooms, which is not enough

The inner court and the outer court and the caravan yard back yard. Many places are too run down, if you want to re-

Repair it, even if it is not extravagant, try to streamline and save as much as possible, just let it restore its original appearance-to

The price of the building materials in the Royal Capital will cost at least two thousand gold coins! "

Charya stared: "So expensive?"

Two thousand gold coins! At the price of the capital of Oscar, about two silver coins are enough.

A family of three civilians lived for a month, and the cost of one year was only two gold coins.

Already. Two thousand gold coins, enough for an ordinary family to speak a thousand years!

Yulia couldn't help laughing and crying: "This is nothing, the floor was originally a fine granite

Marble, and the wall tiles are also common goods, flowers and plants transplanted in the yard, and lamps

Damage of the tool ... in some places, if we do n’t replace it all, we only replace the broken one, but

I also need to buy the same things as the original, although the house looks dilapidated, but I looked carefully, so the original things in the place are first-class first-class! It really surprised me to think about it carefully. All the large and small places have been repaired, and two thousand gold coins have been saved as much as possible. "

After a pause, she continued: "There is still such a big house. After repairing it, the daily expenses are also reduced. The gardener who takes care of the garden, the housemaid, the groom, the driver, and the servant, all have to spend money. Hire, you are now a noble and a senior official, but you ca n’t just pull a few people back on the street to make it. The kind of servants that have been rigorously trained and used by large households, the salary is not low. In addition, there is daily The cost of such a large group of people, people eat horse chew, every day is a cost, I calculated it together, according to the size of your current staff, plus the expected hired people from the home For one month, our expenses are also at least one hundred gold coins! This is just a visible expense. Such a large house is not to say that you only need to build it once. The cost of maintaining such a manor on weekdays is not low. Well, I inquired about it. The aristocrats in other families, like this manor, would have to spend nearly a thousand gold coins on maintaining and repairing each year-this is already the least. "

Having said that, Yulia hesitated. She glanced at Xia and sighed: "Xia, now you and me, I have a few words to remind you. I am just a woman, if you say No, don't mind. "

"Well, just say it," Charlie said calmly, "I treat you like a family member in my heart!"

"The people around you, Shalpa and Cato are your life and death brothers in your army. In the future, they will definitely follow you to serve in the border county of More. Naturally, they will be supported by the national salaries. But Mr. Afrecate, also There are dozens of Mace Warriors brought by him, all of them have worked for you. Although these people are loyal to you, but they have been here for so many days, you can't just let them stay beside you for nothing. "

"Uh?" Xia Ya froze.

Seeing Charlie blankly, Yulia smiled and said, "They turned out to be a samurai corps of self-reliance. Although they don't make much money, they also earn money every year. They have income and self-reliance. Mr. Afrecat is very loyal to you, and you have kindness to him, but kindness, you ca n’t eat for a lifetime, right? Think about it, people originally brought a samurai group to make a living by themselves, and there are a dozen gold coins every month Income, now that you have been with you for so many days, even if Mr. Africat does not want your money. But the warriors he brought, may not be so loyal to you, you always have to pay them? Why do people follow you for nothing? "

Xia Ya suddenly realized. After all, he didn't know anything about this kind of thing. These days, he really has forgotten this stubble!

To put it bluntly: people follow you, that is, your subordinates. You should pay for what you eat and drink naturally. In addition, you have to start working?

Then everything is fine, but never thought of saving money for others ...

Fortunately, Afrecate had never complained, but he did not say that the samurai below might not have no idea in his heart.

Xia Ya stood up and saluted to Yulia in good faith: "I am careless! If it is not a sister-in-law, please remind me, I am still stupid!"

Yulia smiled slightly: "You are a noble and a big official. Naturally, someone else will do these small things for you. You ca n’t think of it and don't blame you. Well, I have actually calculated it quietly. The samurai brought by Mr. Afrecat, some you can choose to go to the army, and naturally there will be military support, some people who are not suitable for the army, stay at home as a guard, this cost is even your own, As for salaries, I have asked them that their income in the Samurai Corps should not be lower than before. Including these, how can you spend dozens of gold coins every month ... The salary of people is not so There are many weapons, but horses are expensive, and they are always indispensable. The so-called poor and rich martial arts, raising so many warriors, not only people eat, the weapons, swords, armors all cost money. "

Xia Ya frowned: "Well, as you say, all the money in my hand is spent, how much is left?"

Yulia sighed: "One thousand gold coins."

"Oh?" Charlie was overjoyed, and in his opinion, there were already a thousand gold coins. "It's okay! There are so many! Enough to support me to go to More County!"

"Not what I mean is that you still have a thousand gold coins! The money in your hand is not enough now. Although you have made a lot of windfall recently, but you have not been a small hand or foot recently. Come in and out, the messenger in the court. The rewards and expenses in the vacation are all money. I carefully calculated. If you are going to repair the house now, you do n’t have enough money, then you have to borrow money, unless you leave the house unrepaired. Let's use the money first. These samurai brought by Mr. Afrecat are collected.

Let everyone settle down and settle down, this family can be considered stable. "

Charlie was a carefree character, and laughed out loud: "Let ’s do this, if you do n’t build your house, don't build it, and we don't have nowhere to live."

It's not that simple. Yulia smiled bitterly and glanced at Xiaya: "You have a careless temper, and I figured it out for myself, isn't this house built today or tomorrow, but it will always be repaired in the future! Every month in the future, our family expenses will not be counted without a few hundred gold coins per month. Is there any extra expenses for one year? You will be a noble person in the future. It costs money. In general, it is not enough to have three or four thousand gold coins every year-if something happens, I'm afraid that five thousand gold coins will not be able to beat it. Look at Xia Ya: "Although you bargained the baron, in the future you will have your own barge, and there will be income, and your own salary, but I also inquired, in the empire, an ordinary baron has the most land. It's a small town, and the tax revenue for a year is only two or three thousand gold coins. This is quite good! That is, with your knighthood income, you cannot afford to support such a large family. "

"..." Charlie paused, completely paused! !!

Can't afford a home?

What a joke! !!

Charlie scowled her head.

He used to be a little boy in the wild, eating with one mouth, and the whole family was full of worries. Occasionally he hit a prey and sold it. Besides eating and drinking, he could save a little bit of money. He might have more in his pocket. A clinking copper plate came for a drink.

Now, as a nobleman, serving Chinese food, embracing one after another, with official positions and land, and a large number of people on the ground ... but they ca n’t even support their families? !!

Yulia smiled bitterly, looking at Xia's expression of ignorance and surprise, and patiently explained to the kid:

Generally speaking, a baron can only be regarded as a low and middle rank in the aristocracy. As for the land closure, the land of a baron is generally the size of a small town, which is fine-if it is some remote place Country nobility, a baron's fiefdom is nothing more than three or five villages. Like Charlie, a baron deeply loved by the emperor can get a relatively prosperous town, even if it is very good.

But how many people can a small town have? But it's just a million people. Collecting taxes, agricultural taxes, and commercial taxes are all part of the empire's central government, and the rest can be attributed to the aristocracy. In one year, a small town with a population of 10,000 people can have a savings of two or three thousand gold coins— — This is already a very rich area.

Of course, as the lord of the feudal land, Xia has the right to tax and increase taxes, and cleverly set up a name to search for wealth-but as the person of the Xia, he really wants him to squeeze the fat and the people's ointment from the fierce, and the people in the Fengdang ruin their lives and ruin their lives— —He can't do it. (In the opinion of Tuxuan, the life of the bully landlord in his heart is not just a teasing chick on the street with a few dog legs.)

Then the problem is before us: such a well-known income is obviously not enough to support such a large family.

Charya began to scratch her head.

"I don't understand. The aristocratic masters I saw, one by one, dressed in luxuries, went in and out of the mansion, and Hao Meimei waited for her, and her wife and wife were beautiful and beautiful. Haven't seen those guys worry about money? "

Xia Ya frowned.

"Poor and rich," Yulia sighed. "You have recruited Mr. Afrecat and his men. In fact, it seems out of place that I should say something that shouldn't be said."

"Uh?"

Yulia laughed: "Although I ’m not from a noble family, I ’m also a middle-class family.

I have seen how those little nobles talk. Charlie, the life you said

Wealthy nobles do exist, but those are the true nobles. In fact,

In the countries of the belt, the baron can only be regarded as a lower noble. Most of the lives of the lower nobles may not be

It's as beautiful as you said. Peace of mind, there is a baron's family in my hometown.

I live in a big house that is stronger than ordinary people. There can be three or five old servants in the house, and there are carriages when they go out.

Multiply, food and clothing are not much better than ordinary wealthy people. As for ... private forces, usually come

Look, a little baron, the territory is just a town, how many private troops do you need? Can gather a few

It is enough for a peasant to maintain law and order. But you're better, just come up

Yulia smiled and continued: "Then there are other ways: to collect money! You are an imperial officer, a county's armament officer, and you can be regarded as a single general. So in the army ... hmm, there are many ways to collect money Now, I do n’t need to teach you. Corruption of quartermasters, and eating and drinking soldiers ’blood ... You wo n’t know these things in the army. But if you do these things, I definitely ca n’t agree! If you are such a person, my orphans and widows will not stay with you even if they starve to death. "

Charlie hurriedly said: "Yulia, don't worry, I am from the Rhoderian Corps. I can do other things. I ca n’t do anything to eat and drink blood."

"Well ... I can't do nothing." Yulia hesitated and whispered, "We don't do big bad things, but some small things can be considered reasonable. Since you have served as a county The armament officer can have his own guard for a long time. These guards are considered by the emperor team. That is to say, those samurai brought by Mr. Afrecat can be supported by the emperor. This method though It ’s not good, but everyone is doing it, and I wo n’t let you offensively ... ”

Xia Ya nodded, using national money to support his guards. Troops chew, weapon armored horses, have public funds to reimburse-although this is also an advantage, but looking at the whole country, even people like Ruhr and General Adrik can't help but behave like this, so Charlie did not do it What psychological obstacles will there be?

"Also, your territory has not yet been determined. If it can be placed in More County, in the frontier land, and there is the income of the commercial road trade, collecting the passing business tax is also a financial path ..."

Yulia said here, rubbing some sore eyes (I rubbed it too, sleepy): "These are the last words, and I have to find a way to find money in the future. Right now, you are so close A big mansion is ... it really doesn't match your current identity. "

He sighed: "You are just a little baron now, but such a mansion, in the capital, I am afraid that only those princes can live in such a house. Such a large house, for you, is really It's not a beautiful thing, but a big burden. "

Oh shit! Charya is furious!

He was originally rejoicing. Recently he was promoted to wealth, and he didn't know he was so poor. Today, Yulia broke through his situation, and couldn't help anger, so he blamed this incident on Cavill Hill: This The old guy sent me a house, I'm afraid I intentionally hurt him, right? !!

"Then sell the house!" Charlie stomped her teeth.

He doesn't care what the secrets of the tulip family ... go to the tulip family! Tu Yuan's ideal of life is to be promoted to wealth, and now he is inexplicably tied to the tulip family. He is also trying to get rid of it! Sell ​​it! What the secret family of the tulip family, Lao Tzu! Go happily to the border to be a local bully, how happy!

Yulia shook her head: "Is it sold, I agree, but it's not easy to do."

"Not for sale." Yulia smiled bitterly: "Sia, don't you understand?"

"I don't understand."

Xia's eyes widened: "I heard that there is a trading guild in the south of Osgilia, and the merchants who trade with it can be traded there. Let's put this house in the trading guild. The bid is lower, as long as it doesn't lose money-anyway, I came here in vain, sold it cheaper, and only made no money. "

"It's not that simple." Yulia smiled bitterly; "You are a noble now, and the aristocratic family sells houses and sells industries, which is different from ordinary people. If the ordinary people, the house output is shot, you can naturally go to the trading guild. A brand. But you are now a noble! You go to hang the sign today, then tomorrow the news that Lord Baron Charia will sell the house will spread throughout the aristocratic circle of the imperial capital. Everyone will think that you are a downright family, and you are poor. This immediately became the laughing stock of the imperial capital. And you are a noble. Even if you buy and sell the house of the noble, ordinary people may not dare to buy it. Even the wealthy wealthy merchants are afraid to pay for your house. . "

"Why is that?"

"You are a baron. God knows that you are short of money today and sold your house. In a few days you are rich. If you run back to find them and buy them back, they are ordinary merchants. You are a nobleman. In case of disputes, where do people fight? Have you, Baron, who has real power in your hands? One thing is worse than one thing. The big house on the market does not mean that you have already been added. Others would rather buy another house than buy you back. "

Yulia explained patiently: "So, in general, if there is an industry in the aristocratic family to sell, they will not go back to the guild and will only trade privately with other better aristocratic families of their own. Everyone is a noble, so the transaction When you get up, you can rest assured. And you will try to keep the news sealed as much as possible to avoid the ugly face of the person selling the industry. "

Charya's face turned pale: "Fuck. There are so many rules"

He patted the table in vain: "Fuck! I'm not selling anymore! The house is no longer off! Just put it here! Let him rot there

"Here! When it falls down, it will be quiet!"

Yulia asked Xiaya to say this, but she did not intentionally force him, but just calculated the account at home for him, so that Xiaya really didn't think she was rich now, and she wasted her money. The reason is clear, so that this earthworm will spend some money carefully afterwards, and it will achieve its purpose.

After repairing that big house, Xia ’s thoughts can be dispelled, which is what Ulya intended: Put it there first, and then repair it later when there is money. Is there really no money, and it can only rot there. Although unwilling, but going bankrupt for a house is too stupid.

For this money, Xia Ya's face didn't look good for three days, and she felt a anger in her heart. Fortunately, he understands the truth, and the situation at home understands. Knowing that they are now a beautiful empty shelf, but still in accordance with Yulia's suggestion, first brought a salary to the group of samurai brought by Afrecate, and sure enough, after these guys took the money, they were very open-minded, secretly His anger was gone.

People are all like this. Xia understands it well. He would also be angry if he changed it: I used to be fifty and still have income. Now I am relying on you, the Baron, but I have no money. Who is willing? dry?

However, the word "bankruptcy" has been pressing on Charya's mind, which is to make him uneasy. In the past two days, she had dreamed of the tattered clothes she wore, and took a group of brothers to the streets to wear begging swords and begging ...

Oh shit! money! I really did not expect that when I became an aristocrat, I became troubled by money.

In the past few days, I met some aristocratic children in the Huangjialinyuan hunting field that day and got the instructions from the elders in the family. They came to associate with Xia, and Xia had to be asked to go out for a few drinks. It has become stingy. If he is usual, he likes to be an uncle's temperament everywhere. If someone asks him to drink, he will have to ask others to drink three times.

Now ,,,,,,, hum, someone invited him to dinner, and he wished he could go hungry for a day before going to a banquet.

With that experience on the hunting ground, the entire aristocratic circle of the emperor now understands that this little baron is a character cultivated by His Majesty, and the process of examining the title of Charity by the aristocratic council is much faster. Originally, I was afraid that the procedures that may not be available for another half a month may be completed within three days.

When the formal nomination of the nobleman was sent to Xia, the emblem of the clan, the seal and the letter waited for the thing to come to Xia, then from this moment, he thundered, even if he was a member of the Byzantine aristocracy. Already.

As for the land closure, as he did not expect, the Rifle King made a place directly in County More, a big city near Denzel, and a civil booklet was put down, indicating the town's land occupation. It's not as big as Wildfire Town, and its population is only eight thousand-although Xia is still a little dissatisfied, but also understands that as a baron and he is a new nobleman, it is already very good to have such a fiefdom. Yes.

If you change people, have no foundation, and your Majesty's appreciation, even if you are given a baron, you may be bound to take you to a wild area in the eastern part of the edge.

What's the county of Moore?

After the knighthood procedure was completed, it was said that the rifle emperor originally planned to award him the knight himself, but was later stopped by the courtiers around him: His Majesty the Emperor, and a little baron, then opened this example. All the titles of such little aristocrats need to be taught by His Majesty?

So the emperor finally did not show up, but sent an emissary to see Xia, and brought a few words of encouragement, nothing more than "good work, work hard, I will not treat you."

Xia Ya, however, almost cried when he heard the words of the emperor brought by the court messenger. The court ambassador saw the baron so excited, and could not help but comfort him: "Master Baron, Your Majesty appreciates you so much, and you need to make some achievements and reward them."

Where did he know that Xia was crying not for the emperor's worthless encouragement, but for the money in his pocket!

The court messenger sent here once and again, he had to sneak a piece of gold again! !!

The knighthood was settled, and soon the official document of appointment of the military was also down.

After these matters were handled properly, Xia has no reason to stay in the imperial capital. According to the imperial law, he must leave the imperial capital to take office within six days of getting the appointment letter, otherwise failing to leave the office is a felony for malfeasance.

Before leaving, Xia ’s family was packing their luggage, but suddenly someone came to the door. A maid in a linen robe dressed up and did n’t say who sent it when they visited the door, leaving only a word to tell Xia. :

"Come to worship."

Charya was busy at home, and when he heard the words of Soyte in return, the soil was on the spot!

Worship? Worship a ghost! I gave Lao Tzu such a house, and it was clear that it hurt me!

"Don't worship!" Xia was furious, and said to Soyte, "I'm not seeing him! Let him go back and say! I don't want to worship--you can also pay 30,000 gold coins, and I will worship!"

Seeing that Grandpa was angry, Soyte didn't dare to ask more, and went out to tell Xia Ya's words to someone who called and left.

But after a while www.wuxiaspot.com Xia Ya calmly pulls down, she regrets it!

(Damn, I'm looking for death! Who offends is not good, offends the horrible Skyscraper of Carvisier ?! He wants to play to death, isn't he just like it?)

Thinking of this, Charlie was sweating coldly, and her heart suddenly felt.

On this day, Xia was a little distracted, for fear of angering Cavill Hill and causing the guy's revenge.

But at night, Cavill Hill's family sent another person. This time Xia was afraid to see her. After the meeting, the person who came was a servant with an expression of humor, met Xia, respectfully saluted, and then reported it. After one sentence, she almost shocked Xia from the chair. Already.

"Our master said that thirty thousand is too expensive. How about a 20% off?" ————————————————
