Glory Riding and Cutting

"The queen dismissed most of the servants, and now there are only five male and female servants left in the manor. They can barely keep the manor clean. You need to hire some more servants, especially you need a personal servant who will take care of your daily life.

All the guards in the manor were also withdrawn. Although the manor was close to the capital, there were basically no robbers to disturb them, but sometimes wild animals running out of the forest would enter the farmland or fruit forest, so guards were also needed.

The current income of the manor is about 700 gold coins per year. If you take back the cultivated land, you should be able to get more. However, if the income of the manor pays for the daily maintenance costs and the wages of the servants, there should not be much left.

The food in the manor is currently made by the maids, but they are not professional chefs, and their skills are average, which does not meet your status. You can hire a good chef to take care of your meals.

I am responsible for managing the chores, servants and tasks assigned by you in the manor, but you also need a professional accountant to be in charge of the finances of your manor, he will accurately calculate every expenditure and income in your manor, generally It is said that accountants are responsible for the financial problems of the manor owners, so they must be trustworthy or have a good reputation in the industry.

If you want, I can help you collect information on people who are currently looking for work, and you can have them come to the estate for interviews after you have reviewed them. "

"Okay, then I'll leave this matter to you. Hire some servants, find a cook, an accountant, and guards. My subordinates will be able to do the job, and I will also recruit some subordinates myself at this stage! If I If you want to recruit subordinates, where is the best place to go?" Ronan said to the butler after thinking for a while.

"The Broken Ship Tavern, sir, is the largest tavern in Teldrassil, opened by the Prime Minister, where the mercenaries from the Hinterlands looking for work basically gather, and you should be able to find many excellent soldiers there.

You can also recruit some young men in nearby villages and towns who are eager to join the army, but they may need to go through a period of training before they can do it. "

Ronan nodded, and remembered what Mario had told him about the private soldiers on the road.

The Hinterlands have strict requirements on the private soldiers of the nobles. The nobles with the title of knights can only have a few attendants, but Ronan owns a manor. He can recruit some guards in the name of protecting the manor, and he is also the guardian knight of the princess. , he can also assemble an army in the name of forming a guard for the princess, but the number should not be too large.

But on the surface it is these, as long as it is well hidden in private, who will know? That nobleman didn't hide some power in his hands. Isn't the famous thief "Bloodfang" Belik behind the great nobleman of Moran, and the Silvermoon clan also privately funded several powerful mercenary groups.

The above are the original words of Mario, which let Ronan know some unspoken rules of the nobles.

Instructing the butler to go to the city to find suitable candidates in the afternoon, Ronan arranged for his Nords and Rhodoks to serve as temporary guards for the manor.

I checked the assets in the backpack. There are some snacks and drinks from Terra, some dry food for the march, a set of wisteria wooden armor given by the novice gift bag, and 2346 gold coins.

Ronan took out the wisteria wooden armor, planning to buy an armor stand to put in the bedroom later.

More than 2,000 gold coins are quite a lot, the top of which is the income of the Rose Song Manor for three years, but thinking about the cost of the army to be formed in the future, it is still very urgent. The army burns money, even though there are weekly tasks rewards, but if there are too many troops, it is just a drop in the bucket.

Ronan had to find a way to use these initial funds to do something that could make a lot of money. Ronan was going to find a time to ask Mario if there was any way to make money quickly.

After that, there was a long and torturous wait. The progress bar of the system was almost at the end, but it was precisely this period of time that was the most difficult. It was not until noon and I couldn't fall asleep without having anything to do.

After a torturous dinner, the steward took two servants to the city to collect information. Ronan also sent two Vaegir knights to avoid any accidents on the way. After all, the steward was not young.

The long afternoon was finally spent in Ronan's exercise and playing mahjong. The housekeeper also came back around seven o'clock in the evening, and brought back a dozen thick materials.

Ronan carefully selected a few people with good resumes and asked the steward to notify them to come for an interview the day after tomorrow. As for the servants, they brought them back directly. There were twenty servants, half male and half male, and the male servants were responsible for cleaning the manor. The sanitation in the house and the hard work of feeding the horses, part of the maids are the help cooks in the kitchen, responsible for the meals of the servants and guards.

There is also a part responsible for various tasks in the villa. Ronan chose a maid named Caroline who is about eighteen or nineteen years old, has a little freckles and looks like a girl next door as his personal servant, and is responsible for taking care of him. living and daily life.

These servants are all graduated from the servant school in the royal city, and their level and quality are guaranteed. It is the first time that Ronan knows that there is such a school, but it is also reasonable. The nobles have a great demand for servants. Families also employ servants, which is also a good job for children from ordinary or poor families.

In the evening, the little maid filled the bath with water, and Ronan had a beautiful bath, and the little maid rubbed Ronan's back. After serving Ronan in the bath, the little maid laid the mattress for Ronan and left. In the room, she will always wait outside the room, and she will return to her downstairs room to rest after Ronan is asleep.

After a good night's sleep on the soft big bed, Ronan just opened his eyes and stretched his waist the next morning, when he saw Caroline standing aside and waiting, with warm wash water in the basin .

After Nan washed his face, Caroline sent a towel without hesitation, and then put the towel aside after Ronan had wiped his face, then picked up the clothes and helped Ronan put them on, very professional.

When had Ronan ever been treated like this before, and his subordinates were all rough men, it was inexplicably cool to feel Caroline's meticulous care at this time.

After getting dressed, Ronan walked to the dining room on the first floor. There was only Ronan sitting on the long dining table. The food was made by another maid, and as Butler Walton said, these maids know how to cook, and it's not bad, but it's not delicious.

Ronan ordered Caroline, who was standing behind him, to sit aside and eat with him. Although Caroline was surprised, she had no choice but to obey Ronan's order.

After eating, Ronan sat on the soft sofa in the reception room, closed his eyes and recuperated for a while, finally heard a familiar voice.

"Ding! The system has been upgraded and the function has been restored!"
