Lady of the Lord From the East

The effect of using fire manure on the land was too significant, and the ethos of burning fire manure began to blow in the earl's manor.

Weeds, straws, branches and these things can be collected everywhere, especially in the surrounding forests, there are dead leaves and branches accumulated all year round, just collect the materials for burning fire dung.

And ordinary serfs don’t rent much land, so it is enough to burn a pile of fire dung, and the materials used are not too much. They already need to pay firewood tax to the lord, so now they don’t need to collect materials to burn fire dung. Pay taxes.

Thinking about it this way, it seems that they still made money.

So the serfs became more and more active in collecting materials to burn the fire dung, so thick smoke could be seen everywhere in the entire manor, and those who didn't know it thought it was burning the forest.

Seeing that this was not possible, the stewards proposed to Felix that the serfs should be prohibited from burning fire dung, lest they actually burn the surrounding woods and grasslands one day.

In the end, Felix did not order it, but he asked the serfs not to burn fire dung in private, but to burn them only in designated places, and the amount of fire dung burned by the serfs could not exceed the amount of land use. If there was too much, he would have to collect additional taxes. .

The latter one is because Felix found that some serfs would take out the burned fire dung and sell it to people outside the manor, which made him very unhappy.

After all, Felix was still a nobleman under the feudal system. He allowed the serfs to burn fire dung because part of the output of their fields was their own, and it was him who benefited from the harvest, so he allowed them to do so.

But filling the pockets of serfs with what belongs to him is unacceptable to him.

Lord Count's order, no one dares to do such a small act in private. They obey Felix's order and go to the prescribed place to burn the fire dung, and will not burn more than the required amount. In this way, Sardin The smell of fireworks no longer pervaded the neighborhood of Simburg.

And Wei Wei just listened to the servants in the castle discussing Felix's orders afterwards. Wei Wei agreed with his request for centralized burning of fire dung. In fact, if she could not find a more suitable fertilizer, she would not even The method of making fertilizer by burning fire dung will be proposed, and the pollution is too great.

Wei Wei was also undecided on the point of not being allowed to buy or sell. He said it was difficult to burn fire dung. If you try a few times, you will always succeed. The technical content is actually not high. As long as other people know about this method, the serfs in the manor cannot use fire dung make money.

She felt that Felix should also understand this, but she still ordered the ban to maintain her own dignity.

Felix, who maintained his majesty, came to ask Wei Wei for help the next day.

This young Count, with outstanding military power, was once the hottest rookie knight in the Royal Capital Arena. Everyone said that he had the potential to become the next chief knight, and he was an outstanding talent that even the king admired very much.

But such an outstanding talent also has obvious shortcomings.

He is very bad at dealing with numbers.

Unlike the heir education received by his eldest brother Eric, Felix was brought up as a knight and is a typical scumbag.

Felix's literary education was at the level of being able to read and write common vocabulary, and even the slightly less obscure words could make him bewildered, and in terms of arithmetic, he was basically at the same level as Dolores.

Oh, it's worse than my sister now.

After all, after Dolores received Wei Wei's education, she had memorized the ninety-nine multiplication table and learned how to use the vertical form. She basically would not make major mistakes in addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, while Felix, he was in the multiplication table. In Loris' previous situation, multiplication and division were not very good at all.

This is a scumbag who can't even graduate from a modern elementary school. It's harder for him to settle accounts than to win 100 games in a row in the arena.

After thinking about it, Felix could only think of asking Wei Wei for help.

He didn't feel relieved to leave this to others. If it was Wei Wei, they could spend a little more time together to cultivate their relationship.

Maybe one day Wei Wei will be moved by him and agree to his proposal.

The ideal is beautiful, but the reality is skinny.

Wei Wei didn't agree to help. For Felix's help, she couldn't say anything to refuse.

But Felix expected Wei Wei to stay alone in the study with him, one to handle official business and the other to settle accounts. The beautiful scene where the two could stop and chat and laugh every now and then did not appear. They were not alone.

Wei Wei and Mrs. Bates switched their teaching hours and brought Dolores with them.

"Dolores's recent arithmetic class has been very good, and I want to take this opportunity to teach her to settle accounts."

By the way, let the little girl and her brother develop a relationship.

She said so, what else could Felix say, but he could only acquiesce to this arrangement.

Dolores' personality eased slightly when she was in front of Wei Wei, but she was still the same when she was in front of Felix. Fortunately, compared to other strangers, the little girl was relatively not afraid of her brother, who had not met very often before. .

Of course, he still dared not speak.

Wei Wei brought Dolores together to settle accounts, and she was really responsible for a certain part. In the end, she had to re-examine what Dolores calculated to confirm the correctness. The most important thing for her is to let Dolores learn Check the account.

Didn't Felix say that the castle lacked a mistress? Compared to her irrelevant outsider, wouldn't it be justifiable to let the count's sister manage the castle?

With such careful thoughts, Wei Wei taught Dolores to be extremely patient, and even after she found that the ledger Felix brought was very messy, she even brought Dolores to sort it out, and then listed a table and re-transcribed the records. .

The table made by her is simple and clear, all the numbers are neatly arranged, and where there is a mistake is clear at a glance. After Felix saw her newly made table, he felt that it was not so difficult to settle accounts.

Especially after Wei Wei found several loopholes in less than an afternoon and helped Felix find out that someone was cheating, Felix looked at her like he was looking at a goddess.

Or the kind of goddess who wants to kneel down and pray.

Felix is ​​going to investigate the fake account, and the settlement will continue.

In Wei Wei's opinion, the vertical calculation method is a bit slow, especially since Prady's currency exchange is not decimal, which makes the calculation more difficult.

Naturally, she thought of using computational tools.

Don't think about the calculator, but you can still get an abacus.

Wei Wei had studied planning when she was in elementary school. Not only did the school have a special abacus class, but her grandparents were also very good at playing. They practiced with her a lot when she was a child. I still remember it clearly, and it's a matter of time if I want to pick it up again.

Of course, there is no ready-made abacus, and Wei Wei has to find a carpenter to make it.

The carpenter is ready-made. Although the design of the new house has not yet come out, this does not prevent Wei Wei from asking the carpenter to start customizing the furniture.

The carpenter now lives in the castle with his eldest son to make furniture for Wei Wei. Wei Wei also asked him to make two fan bones. I heard that the carpenter also received orders from many maids. Of course, he did not delay. It was the youngest son he called later who took orders to make fan bones for the maid.

Now Wei Wei wants to ask him to do an abacus, but it's just a matter of drawing a picture and asking the maid to send it over with the deposit.

The carpenter also asked the maid to tell her that she would be able to complete the abacus she wanted within two days.

In fact, it is not difficult to make an abacus, but it takes a little time to polish the abacus, and two days is indeed enough.

Wei Wei is not in a hurry, two days may not be enough for her to tabulate all the accounts.

At first, she thought that the most she needed to clear was this year's accounts, but after she had almost sorted out those accounts, Felix sent someone ten times the previous accounts.

In order to find out the assets under his own name, Felix needs to take stock of all the accounts of Sardinson County for at least ten years, so as to understand the situation of Sardinson County in the past. The workload completely exceeded Wei Wei's expectations.

She thought it was the previous ones at most, but who knew that there would be a follow-up.

It was also at this time that Wei Wei felt that she had been fooled.

She looked at the pile of ledgers that were taller than people, and refused: "Where's your accountant? This should be their job."

"In the cell." Felix was copying some of the accounts with pen and paper. He felt that he could still do such a job, as long as he was not allowed to calculate the sum of those numbers or anything: "Before those who had The account of the problem is theirs, and I have sent people to interrogate them."

"Then ask for some more. Is there no other suitable accountant in the whole of Sardinson? Your accounts are not enough for a few of us, okay? And I can't stay here all the time to help you settle accounts. ."

"I'm already looking for a new accountant." Felix gave her a slightly aggrieved look: "But there doesn't seem to be any talent in this area in Sardinson County. If you want to find someone, you may have to go to other counties to find someone, which will take time. ."

This little crappy place.

Wei Wei rubbed her temples with a headache and compromised: "If I can't find an accountant, at least find some literate ones. I need someone to help me fill in the form."

Reckoning requires professionals, but copying and filling out forms can always be done by someone else?

Felix, who also wanted to get rid of this job, thought about it and said decisively: "There should be some literate servants among the servants. I will ask Barton to find some suitable ones to help."

"Then include Qin and Dolores' maid." Wei Wei said, "their calculations are not bad."

Dolores' personal maid is always with her, and they will listen to her classes, so she can learn well whether it is literacy or arithmetic.

Qin was originally literate, and she was very professional. She had been studying arithmetic seriously when Wei Wei was in class. She was very familiar with the back of the multiplication table. Although the actual calculation speed was slow, the accuracy rate was very high.

If you train them well, these three maids can share part of the calculation work.

"Okay, you have the final say on this matter."
