Chapter 39 Injecting Vitality
Witt returned home in a daze, until then, the fragrance of peppermint candy remained in his mouth.
He has become deeply fascinated by this nostalgic taste.
After eating the mint candy, he even felt that the smell in his mouth was full of sweetness when he spoke, just like, it was like kissing a girl - didn't those minstrels say that the feeling of kissing a girl was sweet...
As for what Tang En said, can you exchange silver coins and mint candy after collecting mint grass?
He just doesn't believe it. How can such a good thing happen in the world?
It must be a scam!
"I'm back..."
As soon as Witt opened the door, he saw his father and mother sitting in front of the table whispering something. He didn't care and was ready to go back to the house.
"...Did you say the Lord's announcement be true?"
"I don't know either, but since it was released by Lord Lord, it should be true..."
"Collection of mint grass can be exchanged for silver coins? What is the Lord thinking? The mint grass mentioned in the announcement is the one growing by the river? It's obviously everywhere, why do you have to send someone to collect it?"
"Who knows? Lord Lord may have his plans. Everyone has just escaped from the fear of the bandits. He may want everyone to have something to do."
"No matter what, it will be good to try it out. If you can really exchange silver coins, that would be great!"
Witt suddenly stopped, his face was in amazement and suspicion: "Dad, mom, what you are talking about is the new announcement issued by Lord Lord?"
"Yes, you can exchange silver coins as long as you collect mint grass. There is also the signature of the Lord on it. It should... Huh? What are you doing?"
"I'll go out!"
Witt picked up the bag next to him and turned his head and ran away. He rushed out of the house and headed straight for the Emerald River. When he arrived at the Emerald River, Witt was shocked.
At this moment, many people are already collecting mint grass by the Jade River!
"Brother Witt!"
Marshall was very happy to see Witt and raised his hand and shouted.
Witt ran over, Marshall pulled the bag in his hand and showed off: "Brother Witt, I have collected a lot of things. Although I don't know how many kilograms there are, I can definitely get mints!"
Witt looked carefully and saw that the bag in his hand was almost full, and the others around him were almost the same. The originally dense mint grass was much less.
Witt was very anxious. If the mint grass was allowed to light them, how could he earn silver coins?
At that moment, Witt didn't care about talking to Marshalldo anymore, so he rushed to the side and started collecting mint grass.
Children born in Ellington will help their families with their work since childhood. They are good at collecting wild vegetables and other things. Of course, it is not a problem to collect mint grass.
Moreover, under the constraints of Tang En's laws, they did not dare to do too ruthlessly, but left the roots and could be collected again after a while.
On the river bank, all the people who were originally doing nothing were working hard. Several homeless men who stayed in Ellington all year round were also busy here, hoping to exchange for some silver coins and buy a few bread to fill their stomachs.
Not far away, Tang En observed all this and was very satisfied.
With the motivation to make money, these people have a goal in life, and their energy will be different after they get busy.
"Big brother, can I also collect mint grass and earn silver coins for mint candies?"
Iriya looked at everyone busy there with excitement, and she was also eager to try.
Tang En originally wanted to say that if I take care of you, I don’t have to earn silver coins and eat mints, but then he thought about it and said, “Yes, if I want to eat mints, I have to work hard on my own.”
"Um!"
Yiliya nodded fiercely, then ran down and picked mint grass with a few friends.
Tang En smiled.
He doesn't want to spoil Yiliya too much. There are too many such examples on the earth. Even a genius child is doomed to grow up in the future if he is spoiled.
If he just blindly protects and pampers Yiliya, she will not be able to be independent when she encounters difficulties in the future.
What's more, now her friends are using their own efforts to make money, but she can enjoy the fruits of her. This invisibly sets her a line with her friends. Over time, she becomes alienated from her friends, which is not a good thing.
Working together and sharing joy together can quickly enhance their relationship, and at the same time, it can also enhance understanding between Iriya and others in labor, making it easier for everyone to accept her.
In short, this is a good thing that can kill multiple goals in one go.
In the evening, Fiona, following Tang En's order, sent a table to buy mint grass in front of the lord's mansion. Tang En specially made a scale for her to measure mint grass.
Seeing this situation, the residents of Ellington, who had been extremely nervous, were relieved. They knew that the Lord was really planning to buy mint grass, and they all showed happy smiles on their faces.
However, Tang En was shocked when he saw them one by one. He thought that these people would get bored if they couldn't collect much, but he didn't expect that they would have worked until this time.
"Danny, three or eight kilograms, here are three silver coins and eighty copper coins, please keep them."
Fiona quickly put away the mint grass and handed the coins to Danny. Danny, who received the money, jumped up excitedly: "Yeah! It's great! I have the money for wine tonight!"
Danny's mother Aunt Sandra grabbed Danny: "What's the money for wine! Leave it to me for safekeeping!"
Danny suddenly felt like crying: "Mom! How can you do this!"
"This is for your own good, and I'm saving money for you to get married!"
After Aunt Sandra finished speaking, she put the mint grass she had collected on the scale and looked at Fiona nervously.
"Two.4 kilograms, two silver coins and forty copper coins, please take them."
Aunt Sandra immediately smiled happily. She earned two silver coins and forty copper coins in just one afternoon. This was simply unimaginable when Hogg was in office!
"Lord Lord is such a good person!"
Aunt Sandra said happily: "But what is the use of Lord Lord buying this mint grass? If Lord Lord Lord asks Lord Lord to pay for us, we will be sorry..."
Fiona smiled, and as soon as she was about to answer, she saw Betty behind Aunt Sandra. Zhan Yan smiled and said, "You will know if you look around."
Sandra stood beside her in a little puzzled manner, and then saw Betty pulling a bag on the scale with some effort.
"Four-five kilograms!"
Fiona exclaimed: "Little girl, you are really capable!"
Betty's face turned red immediately.
"Four silver coins and fifty copper coins, how do you want to change them?"
Betty said nervously: "I want to exchange two of the silver coins for peppermints, is that OK?"
"Can."
Fiona finished with a smile, took Betty twenty mints and handed them to her with the silver coins: "Please hold it."
After Betty took the mint, she stuffed it directly into her mouth, showing a happy expression on her face, and then left happily.
“Minn candy?”
Aunt Sandra looked confused: "What is that? One is worth ten copper coins!"
Similar questions appeared in the minds of many people at the same time. As the exchange progressed, after several children exchanged mint candies, several adults were finally curious and exchanged some mint candies. As a result, they were immediately shocked after tasting it.
More and more people are impressed by the charm of peppermints, but most of the people who actually exchange mints are children. For adults, they need to consider more. Combining silver coins can subsidize their household income, which is more important for them.
But children are different. They originally had no ability to make money, but now they have made money with their own labor. Apart from taking part of the rest, they can control the rest at their own discretion. This is of course a good thing.
Tang En hid on the side and observed quietly, especially Yiliya. After an afternoon of work, Yiliya was standing in the team and chatting with the friends beside her. The adults next to her seemed to be used to it and had no special reaction.
It seems to be effective.
Tang En thought for a while and walked out.
"Lord!"
"Lord!"
There were a series of sounds outside. At this moment, they called Tang En, but they were sincere.
This made Tang En very moved. Just a little favor made them support themselves so much. If, but if Ellington developed more prosperously, what would they react? Are they willing to use their lives to defend Ellington?
"Please give up on gifts, everyone."
Tang En waved his hand, smiled at Yiliya, and then said loudly: "Everyone may be a little confused, why do I want to buy mint grass."
The following immediately was silent, waiting for Tang En's answer.
"Many people know that mint grass grows by the Emerald River and has a lot of growth and smells very special, but everyone doesn't know that mint grass is edible and its juice is also useful."
Tang En said with a smile: "Yes, Ellington is very poor, but we are not barren. We have rich land and many treasures. As long as we discover it with our heart, we can discover something very valuable."
“Mentia grass is one of them.”
Tang En shouted: "Tell you a good news. Soon, Ellington will build a workshop, which I call Ellington Candy Factory. At that time, as long as people who are interested in working will have a job of their own. At the same time, I promise that you can earn a lot of gold coins and make everyone have no worries about food and clothing, and be proud to be a member of Ellington!"
"At the same time, I will announce one thing. The day after tomorrow, all 1,232 farmers in Ellington can receive agricultural subsidies. This agricultural subsidy is for you to replace the agricultural tools and will not be distributed to you - but at that time, all farmers who receive the subsidy can go to the blacksmith shop in Edgar to receive a set of iron tools for free!"
An uproar!
shock!
Almost everyone can't believe their ears!
What did they hear?
Lord Lord paid for them to replace iron and agricultural tools!?
The gods are above... Is this true?
