After using three days to clean up the manor outside the city. Yu Hao asked the guide to help him buy some daily necessities. He brought He Xi to live in the house.
The manor was very large, covering more than ten acres. It was a three-story U-shaped building made of white stone. In front of them was a huge fountain square. Behind the house was a quiet lake and a lush forest.
Other than the main building, there were also some buildings around the manor. They were warehouses, armory, stables, blacksmith shops, textile facilities, as well as the guards and servants 'dormitories.
However, there was no one else in the manor other than Yu Hao and He Xi. The guards and servants who had been guarding the manor were all packed up by Yu Hao and sent back to the blond young noble.
Therefore, the entire manor seemed empty.
Yu Hao rubbed Crane Xi's silver hair, nodded and asked,"How is it? Do you like it?"
He Xi nodded and said,""Yes, it's as beautiful as my home in Heaven City.”
Yu Hao smiled and brought He Xi around to familiarize himself with the manor that belonged to him and He Xi.
In addition to the residence of the owner, the entire manor also included the nearby fields and forests. They were all Yu Hao's private property, but it was obvious that Yu Hao did not care about these.
He didn't want to take care of it either. After all, he bought this manor because the little loli He Xi liked it, and also because he wanted to give the two of them a temporary place to stay and change their identities again.
As for staying here for a long time, Yu Hao had never thought about it. After all, he and He Xi belonged to an advanced civilization, so their lifespans were different from ordinary people. He alone had a lifespan of tens of thousands of years.
Although Crane Xi had not unlocked the Angel Gene, he still had a lifespan of a thousand years. With such a long lifespan, living among ordinary people who only had a lifespan of a hundred years would probably be regarded as a monster sooner or later.
After everything was over, Yu Hao and He Xi still had to leave this place. Find a place to learn and study the technological knowledge that He Ran left for him.
Even though Yu Hao did not have the intention to manage his own land outside the manor. However, at noon, Yu Hao was eating a simple lunch with He Xi. After the farmers who rented Vast Feather Heaven and Earth found out about the change in owner, they still carefully paid a visit.
" Master, we're farmers who rent crops. We heard that you came today, so…"
The leader was an old man with white hair, a face full of wrinkles, and a hunched figure. He held the basket in his hand and looked at Yu Hao.
"You're welcome. Come in."
Yu Hao waved his hand and interrupted the old man's words. He led everyone into the living room and looked at the uneasy and curious people who were sizing up the luxurious living room. He smiled and said,"Feel free to sit."
The old man in the lead hurriedly shook his head and said,"No, there's no need. Old Master, we can just stand.”
Yu Hao didn't insist on this and casually poured himself a glass of water,"Then why are you here today?”
Although Yu Hao had the knowledge given by He Ran, the gap between civilizations was too big. After these days of learning, Yu Hao still only had a rough understanding of some things about ordinary people.
The old man in the lead was stunned, but he did not know what to say.
However, he still sorted out his thoughts and said timidly,"Now that the manor has changed owners, we, we would like to ask the owners how they are going to collect the rent this year?”
When Yu Hao heard this, he frowned slightly and was also a little puzzled. The knowledge that He Ran had given him flashed through his mind, but he could not find any knowledge about collecting rent.
When everyone saw Yu Hao deep in thought, they did not dare to breathe too loudly. They looked at Yu Hao nervously and fearfully. It was as if they were waiting for judgment.
After a long time, Yu Hao collected his thoughts and looked at the few of them."How did you pay the rent previously?"
Hearing Yu Hao's words, everyone heaved a sigh of relief. The old man in the lead did not hide anything and said very honestly,"Master Ruolan, we collect 60% as rent every year.”
Although Yu Hao didn't have any impression of how much 60% of the rent was, it was obvious that these farmers weren't living well.
He said," How about this? The rent will be halved. If there is a disaster, the rent will be halved again. However, in the future, send some of the vegetables you grow over. There is no need for too much. I only have two people here at the moment."”
" Thank you, Master, thank you, Master…" Everyone hurriedly thanked him. Some of them even knelt down and kowtowed.
In this era, these feudal lords all wanted to plunder the farmers, and there was no such thing as a reduction in rent in a disaster year. Even if they encountered a disaster, they still had to pay rent on time.
As for the vegetables planted, it was only enough for two people. It was not a lot. To the farmers, it was a great thing.
Although Yu Hao had also considered waiving the rent for these people, after all, money was of no use to him. However, he still felt that it was inappropriate, so he decided to reduce the original 60% of the rent by half.
Yu Hao waved his hand. As he spoke, he looked at the old man in the lead and asked,""By the way, what's your name?"
" Old Man Dan…" The old man looked at Yu Hao in confusion and replied,"
"Hmm, how about this? There are only me and my sister in this manor. In the future, you will help manage the manor. I'll pay you extra."
" This..." Apparently, the old man was also shocked by Yu Hao's words. He did not expect that he would actually become the butler of this manor.
"Why not?" Yu Hao asked.
Regarding these matters, it was originally Yu Hao's idea at the last minute. He just felt that these farmers had to pay rent and someone had to help take care of them. Otherwise, he would have to do everything himself. He was not really going to live the life of a lord.
" No... Thank you, master, thank you, master..." Old Dam quickly responded.
"Everything else is fine.”As he spoke, Yu Hao got up. He still had to go back and accompany the little loli, He Xi, for dinner. However, he was not in the mood to discuss with these farmers how to manage the manor.
Anyway, he would leave it to old Dam and let him do whatever he wanted.
However, what Yu Hao didn't expect was that this was a temporary appointment. The old man, Damm, did his best. He considered that there was no servant in the manor at the moment, and there was no one to take care of the master's life.
After discussing with the farmers in the manor, they chose six young and strong girls and sent them over that night.
"Everyone is grateful for Old Master's kindness. They are afraid that Old Master and Young Lady's lives will be inconvenient, so they took the initiative to take care of Old Master and Young Lady's lives.”
The old man Dan looked at Yu Hao carefully, afraid that he would make the new and old unhappy if he acted on his own. The six girls were also nervous and looked at Yu Hao with hope, as if they were afraid of being rejected.
Looking at the few of them, Yu Hao thought for a while and nodded,"Good, stay."
Yu Hao did not refuse. After a day of familiarizing himself with the manor, Yu Hao also noticed that the entire manor seemed too empty with just the two of them.
At the same time, there were many inconveniences in life, especially for the little loli Hexi. As a man, it was always inconvenient for him to wash up.
Hearing Yu Hao's words, everyone could not help but heave a sigh of relief. Old Dan's face immediately brimmed with a smile. The six girls said excitedly,""Thank you, Master!"
Yu Hao waved his hand and continued," Pay, Dan Mu, you see how the other families pay. It's fine for us to pay a little more."”
When the girls heard that there was still a salary, their faces were filled with joy and gratitude. Originally, after everyone discussed, they did not want any salary and just treated it as free work.
When old Damm heard this, he was about to dissuade them, but when he saw the happy and grateful looks on the girls 'faces, he thought that everyone's lives were not easy, so he did not say anything more and said gratefully,"Thank you for your kindness, Master."
Yu Hao waved his hand.
"Big brother…"
Just as he was about to say something, he saw the little loli, Hexi, walk over barefooted in a pink nightdress with wet silver hair.
He couldn't care less about old man Dam. He quickly went forward and picked up the little loli Hexi. At the same time, he picked up a brand new towel from the chair beside him and wiped the little loli's head.
"Miss!"
It was the first time that old man Dan had seen the little loli Hexi. He was also filled with joy when he saw such an exquisite and cute little girl. He brought a few women and hurriedly went forward to bow.
The little loli, He Xi, looked at the few of them with a puzzled expression, then turned to look at Yu Hao.
"This is the farm farmer, Damm. Those few are here to take care of the little princess.”Yu Hao smiled and gently introduced,
" Oh..." Obviously, the little loli He Xi didn't care about these things. She yawned and snuggled in Yu Hao's arms, enjoying herself.
"Master, if there's nothing else, I'll take them down first.”
Seeing this, the old man, Damm, knew that it was time for him to go down so as not to disturb the main family enjoying their warmth and happiness.
" Mm…" Yu Hao waved his hand.
As for the work of the six teenagers, there was nothing much to tell them. He believed that old Tim would make the arrangements himself.
"Brother, I don't like crowds.”
After old Dan left with the few of them, the little loli, He Xi, who was originally nestled in Yu Hao's arms, suddenly opened her eyes and turned her head to look at Yu Hao.
Yu Hao smiled and said,"Yes, with them around, our lives will be more convenient."”
"Oh…"
Although there were many rooms in the manor, the little loli He Xi, who was used to sleeping in Yu Hao's arms, did not choose to sleep alone. She still slept with Yu Hao.
Yu Hao did not think too much about this. After all, he looked like he was only fifteen or sixteen years old, while the little loli was only five or six years old.
Since the little loli wanted to sleep together, then let's sleep together. However, He Xi was easy to take care of. When he was going to sleep, he could fall asleep very quickly by himself. He didn't need to be coaxed.
Lying on the bed at night, Yu Haolou looked at the night sky quietly with the little girl's petite body. Quietly thinking about his past and future, he was very confused about the future. He did not know his past, nor did he know where he was going.
" Hmm..." Suddenly, Yu Hao felt a violent energy riot from outer space. He sat up abruptly.
Even the little loli He Xi, who was sound asleep, was flipped off her body. He Xi, who had just woken up, looked at Yu Hao with a puzzled expression.
"Finally here?"
