What is it like to be a teacher as a magister?

Chapter 162

Liya came back later than usual today, and when she got home, she found that the house was still empty.

Son Henry usually eats dinner at school, and then continues to study on his own until he goes home around nine o'clock. He said that the school calls this evening self-study.

I used to think that going to school must be very happy, there is food to eat, and no labor is required, just like aristocrats.

But recently, I found that my son was very tired when he came back every day. He often squinted his eyes into a line, but his spirit was still very excited. He always pulled himself to talk about things in school. One, who stayed in the classroom until 10 o'clock at night, and was forced to go home by the teacher...

Only then did Liya realize that going to school is also a very tiring thing, and she has to compete with many people.

In contrast, I went to the field every day to be busy, but I didn't feel so much pressure.

Especially now that new land has been allocated, and even at the beginning, someone came to teach them how to grow the land better.The farm tools have also been replaced with new ones, the style of which has never been seen before, but it is very easy to use, much easier than before.

She spends the same amount of time now, cultivates twice as much land as before, and produces more than eight times as much as before.Liya really couldn't imagine that after the wheat seeds were planted, it seemed that someone was urging them to grow, the ears of wheat were full, and there were almost no diseases and insect pests.

Unlike before, she doesn't need to save seeds every year now.

The seeds sown every year are all provided by the lord, to be precise, Miss Sophia's "Early Winter Plantation".

Liya has never seen the lord until now, but Miss Sophia, who often goes to the fields to check on the situation of the farmers.

I have encountered it twice, and was asked face to face once.

The son said that Miss Sophia is Xia Ya's "Minister of Agriculture", which means that she is in charge of farming.

Leah was about to make dinner when the door creaked open.The husband walks in.

"Why is it so late today?"

The working hours of the Alchemy Workshop are very fixed, from 8:5 am to [-]:[-] pm, with an hour break in between.

This time is about the same as Leah's farming.

Therefore, she herself had something to delay her return today, thinking that her husband would arrive home first.

"Working overtime today." Raff replied while changing clothes at the door.

"Working overtime?" Leah was a little unfamiliar with this word.

"Extended working hours," Raff explained.

"Oh."

"The foreman said that if you work two hours of overtime, you can get half a day's wages." Raff chuckled.

"So good?" Liya was taken aback, calculating how much her husband's half-day salary was in her mind.

"Yeah, that's why we all stayed and worked overtime." Raff smiled and said, "I used to be much busier at the blacksmith shop than I am now. I often worked until midnight, and I didn't say to get more food. Sometimes I wonder, where is the lord? Send us the money, and the things I do every day don’t feel worth that much money.”

"When you say this, I'm even more surprised." Liya remembered what she wanted to say as soon as she got home.

"what happened?"

"On the ground today, someone from the fortress gave me 11 silver shields." Liya was speaking, and carefully took out the money in the cloth bag. The shiny silver shields collided with each other and made a crisp sound.

"Good guy, it's my one month's salary." Raff was also taken aback, and asked, "Why did you give me the money?"

"The lord said that although half of the food will still be handed over in the future, half of the handed-in part is considered to be purchased by the lord from us."

"What is this?" Raff couldn't understand at all.

He thought about it for a long time, and asked with some doubts: "That is to say, in the future, only a quarter of the grain will be handed over each year, and the other quarter will be regarded as...sold to the lord?"

"It seems to mean that." Leah thought for a while.

"This..." Raff scratched his head, "Why?"

"The lord also said that a grain management office will be opened in the city soon. When the time comes, there will be surplus grain in my family, and I can sell it there."

"Isn't that just right?" Laf smiled and said, "Don't we still have a lot of food left in our family?"

"Yeah." Liya said: "I used to farm alone, and it wasn't enough for me and my son to eat. Now it's not only enough for the three of us, but there's still a lot left over."

"However, wouldn't this be too good?" Raff suddenly reacted.

"What?" Leah wondered.

"We use the Lord's land, grow the grain and sell it to the Lord... Isn't this taking advantage of twice?" Raff scratched his head, already somewhat unable to figure it out.

"That's why I said." Leah sighed, "The lord is a good man, but he just doesn't know how to live. If he keeps doing this, his castle will soon be too poor."

"yes……"

The two loyal residents of Winterfell looked in the direction of the castle at the same time, worried for their lord.

But soon, Leah's mind returned to the silver shield in her hand.

"I heard that some new items have been added to the shops on the street. There are also new audio discs for the player. I'll go and have a look tomorrow..."

"It's all made in our workshop, otherwise we will have to work overtime. By the way, the newly made scissors are very useful, but don't buy them, the workshop will send us two each. But the scissors The cart is a nice one, and you should be able to use it when you're working in the fields."

Raff was proud at first, and then asked, "Aren't you in charge of my money? Why didn't you buy it before?"

"It's not the same, this is the money I earned myself." Leah touched the smooth silver shield, full of joy.

"Okay." Raff felt the same when he thought of the first time he got the copper plant, but his wife's starting point was obviously higher than him.

Liya walked to the newly bought player and turned it on skillfully. The melodious sound of the harp came out of the iron box.

She only has this disc, but she never tires of listening to it.

Humming to the music, Lia started cooking.

She would make more every time. Although my son had dinner at school, he would still be hungry when he came back.

……

night.

Raff was awakened by strange noises around him, and turned around to find his wife secretly doing something under the covers behind his back.

"What are you doing?"

"Ah." Liya's panicked voice came, followed by a crisp tinkling sound.

"How many times have you counted?" Raff said helplessly, "How many times have you counted, can you get more?"

"Don't worry about it." Seeing that she was found, Liya simply took out the 11 silver shields, put them by the pillow and counted them again.

"It's not like you haven't seen a silver shield." Raff was annoyed and funny.

"No, I earned it myself."

Liya put the silver shield back into the cloth bag, hugged it in her arms, and fell asleep contentedly.
