"Young ... Master, your oatmeal."

Behind, a timid voice came, sounding like a mosquito, but with a long-lost familiarity.

"Alice, put the porridge on the table."

Zhou Ming smiled slightly, leaned against the back of the chair, stretched his head, and tilted his head, watching the panicked and put the tray on the table, shaking his hand, almost spilling the oatmeal in the porcelain bowl, okay It was easy to put the tray in place, but found that the eyes of the young master seemed to have been staring at him all the time. Alice, who was standing on the side, did not know that she put her hand there and flushed, and she was about to cry.

Seeing this maid wearing a headscarf on her head, a white apron tied around her waist, a black one-piece dress decorated with a circle of white ruffles, the tie that tied the apron tied a bow behind her-this This kind of maid costume is a costume designed for the castle maid by dyeing a linen fabric with finer fibers after Zhou Ming was built in the Gran Collar Linen Clothes Workshop two years ago. Beautiful, noble and easy to work, welcomed by the maids.

Even after being seen by many lords who came to the castle as guests, they were quickly introduced into the castles of each territory.

Even Mrs. Madeleine, the mother who was used to wearing bulky long skirts supported by huge skirts, also loved this maid costume. For a period of time, she wore that maid costume to work as a cook every day. There was no baroness at all. Deservedly, after being scolded by Baron Conner several times, Zhou Ming had to design several dress-style ladies' clothes. After wearing it, it felt good, and her mother Mrs. Madeleine said goodbye to her attachment to the maid costume. (But sometimes I still wear it).

However, Alice, who was only 12 years old in front of her, put on this trumpet maid costume, and not only showed her exquisite figure, but also exquisitely exuded the delicate face in white.

No wonder when he transferred Alice to her side as a maid some time ago, his wife Fanny said that he had a little fox spirit coming over ...

However, Zhou Ming can let God testify. He transferred Alice to his side. He just wanted to take care of this last sister in life. There was no other idea at all. Besides, a 12-year-old girl should n’t grow up. Well, it ’s nothing to develop ... Hey, how did Alice get fatter there, was n’t it an airport when he first entered the castle? It's only been two months ...

"Woo ~"

Has been staring at him so much, and Alice, who was already very nervous, was crying with a sad face at this time, her body shaking slightly, and she wanted to cry out loud.

"Oh, Alice, don't be nervous ... have you been in the castle for so long, do you think you've adapted here?"

Zhou Ming, who found himself rude, quickly withdrew his gaze, warmly and kindly, and chatted with the sister of the previous life.

"Well, good ... good, good here."

Hearing the gentleman ’s gentle and easy-going questioning, Alice felt less nervous and nodded awkwardly, boldly, and told the master about her recent situation in the castle. The living conditions of the castle are of course much better than at home. You can eat fragrant white bread, drink delicious broth, occasionally cakes and milk, there will be gifts for the holiday, monthly salaries will be issued, live in a single room for senior maid, not serving the young master Too tired.

But ... the main trouble is that there are too many rules in the castle. The mother Karina who is responsible for training her is too strict with her. The maid ordered her to punish her violently as long as there was no one ... Zhi Wuwu, Zhou Ming asked for a long time before asking, and his wife, Annie ’s maid Anne, has been bullying her recently, calling her almost once every day, and then using the board to hit dozens of times in her palm ...

Zhou Ming grabbed Alice's dodgy hand and put it in front of her eyes, suddenly furious! Those women who have nothing to eat and do nothing but sit in the room all day wondering how to torture people can't really stop! A 12-year-old girl can go to this hand?

"I have to manage this matter!"

The delusions in the minds of women who want to hurt Alice must be completely choked off!

The next day, Zhou Ming summoned a dozen of the main stewards and housekeepers in the castle, including the two maids who were brought over by his wife Fanny, and pulled Alice solemnly and said to them: Alice is his People, no matter what she does, even if you want to punish her, you must get his opinion! Also, if anyone dares to punish Alice in private, if he is known, he will let that person know the consequences of doing so!

Finally, Zhou Ming glared at Annie fiercely, frightened the woman's body shrunk, and said with other stewards: "Yes, Master!"

After spending half a day processing this matter, there was no other servant who dared to bully Alice. The price was that his wife Fanny seemed to have taken gunpowder. She hadn't taken care of herself for several days ... Zhou Ming shook her head. There is no solution, and in some respects too careful.

However, in these few days, Zhou Ming took a group of servants and leaders to take the key of the castle vault from the housekeeper Bunod, opened the vault, and moved out all the gold and silver treasures in it. In the front square, the specific amount of property was personally checked and carefully counted.

Three days later, for the more than 100 boxes of gold coins, more than 400 boxes of silver coins, and more than 50 boxes of treasures placed in the front square, Zhou Ming changed three groups of people, counted them three times, and then converted all the silver coins and treasures into gold coins. The figure of 1.0863 million was calculated.

Zhou Ming frowned: "No, after deducting various expenses, the annual net profit of Grand Collar has been above 300,000 gold coins in the past few years. Last year, it has conservatively exceeded 500,000 gold coins. The property should not be less than 1.5 million ... "

Turned around, Zhou Ming's mouth flashed a smile of sudden enlightenment. It turned out that it was the sheep fat I raised. Now, it's almost time to slaughter ...

On the afternoon of the same day, after greeting his father Baron Connor, with his consent, Zhou Ming took two knights and 30 consuls and called dozens of servants to pull a dozen heavy carriages. Came to the house of Bunod, the housekeeper of Rose Town, and led people directly into Bunod's bedroom. In the name of finding something, the bed board of Bunod's bedroom was opened ...

The amount is amazing!

Fifteen heavy-duty carriages were pulled back and forth three times before the hundreds of boxes of gold and silver treasures hidden under the bed of Bunod's bedroom were pulled to the castle square. All the gold and silver treasures in the boxes were dumped out and counted. After the amount of money, good guys, the total value of these hundreds of boxes of gold and silver treasures has reached an amazing 880,000 gold coins, almost as much as the property in the castle vault.

"Bronde Housekeeper, I originally planned that if the amount of treasures in your family is less than 200,000, I will take half, and leave the rest for you to care for; if the amount exceeds 300,000, I will consider confiscating them all. , And thank you again; if the amount exceeds 400,000, I will reduce your family to a slave of mining ... But I did not expect that the amount of your corruption has reached 880,000, which I can't believe, Bueno German housekeeper, you said you should hang you in public, or give you a bowl of poison and a decent way of death? "

Zhou Ming held his hands and looked blankly at the butler who was kneeling on the ground crying and running.

Butler Bunod slaps his slap desperately while holding his thigh: "Master Edward, I'm damn, I'm damn! But for my part in serving the territory for so many years, please forgive me. ? Please, forgive me, I will never dare again! "

"Dare you say there will be more?"

Zhou Ming kicked the dead pig away, and said to his disappointed father Baron Connor, "Dad, this master rat of the Burns family, what should you do?"

"Hey, give him a little travel expenses, let him go, don't go back to Grand collar ..." Baron Conner sighed and shook his head, as if he was a lot older, and left the square in disappointment ... cloth Nord was a loyal servant with him from childhood to the big one. After he became a housekeeper, although he knew that Bunod's hands and feet were not clean, Baron Conner, who was old, still closed his eyes. Forget it, I didn't expect that his greed had swelled like this ...

"Daddy ..."

Zhou Ming wants to call Baron Conner, if he just let Bunod go, UU reads www. uukanshu. com knows that Glenn has many business secrets and workshop secrets, and he will inevitably become a hidden danger ... At this time, Bunod issued a pig-like cry, constantly shouting "Grandpa", disturbing him Words.

Zhou Ming wanted to draw a sword to get rid of this guy, but still reluctantly, the Knight Willard brought a few sergeants to the Bunod family who had simply packed their luggage and drove out of the Gran collar.

Soon after, Zhou Ming ’s worries became a reality. After Bunod went to Łódź in Count Lautzitz, he soon became a guest of the Southern Business League, and many workshops of the Southern Business League had been slow. The research and development speed and product quality have been rapidly improved. In less than half a year, more than a dozen kinds of products have been produced. Both the quality and price are comparable to the products of Glanling workshops, plus standard parts. With the outflow of streamlined production mode, Bunod's mutiny brought some losses to the Free Business Alliance (after aware of this situation, Zhou Ming had to send a group of killers to kill the Bunod family).

However, at this time, Zhou Ming had sent a large number of public or secret messengers, among the thieves in the wild, in various kingdoms such as Wallis, Chulin, Arino, and Iron Fort, among the places where various rumours spread, A shocking news was released:

The Free Business League of the Kingdom of Wallis is about to form a mercenary union. Any knight, adventurer, thief or any professional who is interested in joining the mercenary union can obtain mercenary medals of different levels as long as they pass the assessment of the mercenary union, and The Free Merchant Mercenary Corps ("Commercial Corps"), which will be established in the Grand Collegiate Kingdom of Warris, will recruit a large number of mercenaries who have passed the mercenary union assessment. Task commission; black iron mercenaries, starting at 20 gold coins per month, with a higher extra task commission ...
