After the cat-eared girl went to sleep, Richard took out his phone, logged into a certain treasure, and bought another batch of goods.
The goods had to be purchased in batches to make the shipping cost more cost-effective.
He even bought a few sets of maid outfits for the cat-eared girl.
After buying it, there was no time to go online today.
After closing the door of the small castle, Richard went to the town and found the sheriff.
The sheriff of the small town was appointed by the old Tedd, and he was not young anymore.
Other than the sheriff, there were also a few guards who were similar to security guards to maintain the order of the territory.
These people used to be paid by Teddy, but now it was Richard who paid them.
Richard was ready to expand the town's military power.
When Richard found the sheriff and a few guards, he realized that the sheriff was fine, but the guards were all old men in their fifties or sixties. They did not have much combat power at all.
"Master, when Master Tedder was around, he was reluctant to pay them a salary of 50 copper coins a month.”
the sheriff said.
Richard asked curiously,"I've heard that there are quite a few bandits around here. Isn't he afraid that his territory will be robbed?"”
The sheriff said," There are so many people in the town. Bandits usually don't come. More than ten years ago, Lord Tedder's castle was robbed. Lord Tedder was so depressed that he couldn't afford to pay his wages. After the territory became poor, there wouldn't be a large group of bandits.”
" Dismiss them," Richard said." Recruit ten strong and reliable men. Pay each of them 300 copper coins a month, and only hire people who have lived here for generations.”
The sheriff hesitated for a moment before saying,"Master, they've been working for the territory for so long…"
Richard cut him off." I'll give them some easy work in a few days. The territory doesn't feed freeloaders, but as long as they're willing to work, they'll be better off than before.”
"Alright, Master, I'll handle it."”
The sheriff seemed quite reliable, or Richard would have taken him out as well.
After all, the safety of the territory was the top priority.
However, he couldn't recruit people randomly. He had to hire reliable people.
.
Richard then found two middle-aged women in their forties in the town and paid them 150 copper coins a month to clean the castle and wash the clothes.
After dealing with these matters, Richard walked around the territory again and made some plans.
Then Richard went to check on the progress of the land reclamation.
Now that the wasteland had been plowed out, at Richard's request, a dozen men were digging a canal to divert a small river for irrigation.
"We can plant it tomorrow."
Richard thought.
When he was done, Richard returned to the castle, where the cat-eared girl was still sleeping.
Richard collected the second batch of goods.
The goods purchased from a certain treasure would take about three days to be transported. Sometimes, it would be faster, and sometimes, it would be slower.
Once the goods arrived, they would be temporarily stored in the System Space. Richard needed to take them out within a day or transfer them to his own storage space.
The goods he bought this time were mainly farming tools, but there were also a large number of clothes. These clothes were all custom-made by Richard in a shop, and were in line with the style of this world.
Naturally, these clothes would not be given away for free.
Richard was still going to use them to pay his wages.
.
After the second batch of goods was collected, the sky gradually darkened.
Richard went to the other bedroom and fell asleep.
Early the next morning, not long after Richard got up, he noticed movement in the castle.
After he got dressed and walked out, he found the cat-eared girl sweeping the room with a broom.
Seeing Richard come out, the cat-eared girl whispered,"Good morning, Master!"
Had she gotten into character so quickly?
"What's your name?" he asked, walking over.”
"Master, my name is Miwei."”
Miwei, not a bad name.
" In the future, you'll only be responsible for my daily life," Richard said." Someone will do the cleaning and laundry. I'll give you 200 copper coins a month, including food and lodging. Is that a problem?"”
Mivi shook her head and said," Master spent so much money to save Mivi. There's no need to pay any more copper coins."”
"I'm the master," Richard said."Well, go get some hot water now. There's a lot to do today."”
Miwei lowered her head and said,"Yes, Master."”
After saying that, she put down the broom and ran to boil water.
