"Okay, let someone take all the seizures, and I will distribute them." Nalco patted Shire's shoulder and ordered.

Shire immediately turned around to distribute the manpower. Before, the four people on the mound failed to collect all the gold coins, not to mention the problem of no longer managing their money when they escaped. Many gold coins fell on the loess road. Pick it out.

As soon as Shire left, Hughes couldn't help but leaned over, when no one was around, and his voice was released.

"Why not use my method!" This tone is not a question, but a question. Obviously, the fourteen-year-old Hughes was quite unhappy with the guard's complete rejection of the good methods he had come up with.

Nalco certainly understood Master’s mood, so he immediately explained: “Master, mobilizing the army is a very troublesome thing. It requires a lot of procedures and it takes a lot of time. And if Lord Viscount does not go through these procedures directly, Even if there is only one team to mobilize, it will attract many people's dissatisfaction, which has a great impact on the reputation of adults."

Although Nalco's words were simple, Hughes immediately heard the negative in the euphemism. He immediately remembered certain provisions of the Kingdom's jurisprudence once taught to him by the natural sage teacher. When he confirmed each other, he knew the true meaning of the Nalco language, and he couldn't help but be surprised.

"I'm naive, Nalco, you're right." Hughes was discouraged, and it was easy for him to come up with a great idea that he thought was great, but he didn't expect it to cause trouble to his father. Is it true that after so many years of studying and cultivating yourself, you really can't compare to an old soldier who hasn't gone to school?

Such doubts kept rolling in Hughes's mind. His dissatisfaction and what he saw and heard along the way fought together, and there was no time to win.

Nalco pondered for a moment. Although he could not understand the master's thoughts, he could see that there was still an unconvinced expression on the teenager's face. He felt that he still had to order Hughes, so that the young master would not be angry with himself.

"Master, books are great things, and the knowledge in them is very useful. That is the understanding of the world that the sages have used throughout their lives. I respect the sages, and I respect the books." Nalco, the old man, carefully considered He wrote, "But I heard a friend tell me, um, he is a sage apprentice, his teacher is a famous sage in Guangyao City. His teacher once said that books are used to record the appearance of the world and Essential. But because the height of human beings is not enough, we don’t understand enough, whether it is the appearance or the essence. The books are still regrettable."

Hearing Nalco's explanation, Hughes' face moved with emotion.

The words of the sage are like first-class springs, from top to bottom, from the inside to the outside, and the scum that has been deposited for a long time in Hughes’s consciousness, making the balance in his heart suddenly tilt, the kind of dissatisfaction also The moment disappeared without a trace, replaced by a deep sense of shame and introspection.

At this moment, Hughes suddenly felt that his previous dissatisfaction was so ridiculous.

He suddenly understood that even a crude man like Nalco who had never gone to school, since he can have the current ability and status, then he is by no means an ignorant person.

His knowledge may not come from books, but from personal experience. But it is this kind of experience that is still the most precious wealth in life, and it is on par with the knowledge system already formed in the book. At most, there is a difference between more and less, fine and rough, and there are gaps in the system.

Therefore, whether it is book knowledge or life experience, he should be humble and accept, without exception.

Realizing this truth, Hughes took a deep breath and slowly exhaled. Suddenly he felt that the field of vision in front of him was a lot brighter, and his mind was relaxed. The faint joy started from the heart and surged to every corner of the body. , Make people fascinated.

However, Hughes, who was immersed in pleasure, did not notice that the second flash point appeared in the eight pictures on his left armguard, which was a pattern indicating modesty!

Nalco glanced at this unremarkable change in Yu Guang, but he had previously determined that the armguards were probably high-level magic equipment, and it was normal for the light to flash through. Therefore, he will be treated as if he hasn't seen it, so as not to cause trouble to his upper body. So, the opportunity to discover this tiny but extremely important change early, slipped away from Hughes's fingers.

During the talk, Shire had led the farmers back. Two farmers were surrounded by the crowd. They held a large leather bag in their arms, while the eyes of the others were tightly attached to the two bags. .

Obviously, in these two bags is the wealth that the thieves have robbed from nearby villages and towns these days.

Hughes visually inspected the size of the bag, and suddenly found that the thieves really robbed a lot of money. Just based on the capacity of the pocket and the volume of the gold coins, I can roughly estimate that there are probably about 4,000 gold coins in it.

The Ram next to him also saw the problem, and he chuckled happily and quietly said to Hughes: "Master, it seems that we are going to make a fortune."

At this time, Shire walked to Nalco and motioned to put down the bag containing the gold coins. The two farmers were not obedient. Their expressions were hesitant. Instead of relaxing their hands holding the bag, they hugged more tightly.

Shire's face changed, and he rushed up with a kick, and he scolded a few words in a hurry. It might be a whisper in the village. Hughes didn't understand it anyway, but it worked. The two farmers finally put the bag in front of Nalco reluctantly.

Hughes sneered at the two who still refused to retreat. If he hadn't just fought side by side with him, he would definitely take these two people out of anger by such rude offense. So that these stupid farmers understand that although there are many 4,000 gold coins, they are still not in the eyes of a heir to the Viscount.

But Hughes could not tolerate, does not mean that Ram can think that nothing happened. With a snap, he drew his sword and slammed between the two farmers and the purse, so that the other party jumped back two steps like a frightened rabbit and almost fell to the ground.

"What are you doing!" One of them jumped violently, angering Ram with a black face and a terrible neck.

Ram’s expression was cold. Instead of pulling out his sword, he slowly exerted a force and made a ditch across the ground in front of the purse, warning all farmers: "Look at this line, if anyone dares to step forward , I just thought he wanted to attack the nobility and hacked him alive!"

These words were awe-inspiring, and the air was suddenly filled with thick blood. The man sitting on the ground, crawling away with his hands and feet in a hurry. And the brave man who jumped and scolded his face, and finally remembered that the object of his anger was actually a tall noble. He immediately softened his body, trembling back with a trembling waist.

Ram snorted, and then took the sword back and returned to Hughes.

Nalco did not respond to this. He opened the money bag with his sword, glanced at it casually, then grabbed a few gold coins from the left bag to the right bag, turned his head and told Ram : "Come and mention it to see if it's about the same weight."

Ram followed suit, and then nodded to Nalco. Nalco then told Shire again: "Find three out of your people and come over to try if the two bags are the same weight."

Soon, the farmers also came out with results. Except for one hesitant and uncertain, the remaining two nodded and admitted that they could not distinguish the difference between the weight of the two bags.

Hughes also understood the meaning of Nalco at this time, which was to fulfill his previous promise and split the spoil in half.

"Apart from the money, what else did you find?" Nalco asked Shire again.

"There are also two horses, adults, in addition to a cart of food and a few weapons, these thieves have no other valuable things." Shire replied immediately.

Nalco nodded, then walked to Hughes and whispered something beside his ear.

Hughes nodded and made it clear that before he walked up to the money bag, everyone's eyes were cast on him again.

"The number of the final loot is very clear, two big bags of gold coins, about 4,000, and two horses." Hughes spoke to everyone, not panicking, and shouted loudly, "We have promised before, the loot needs everyone Half of each, now is the time to fulfill the promise."

The crowd commotion suddenly, the farmers smiled one by one.

Two thousand gold coins, which is a lot of money, maybe they can't make so much in their lives. According to forty people, each person can get about fifty gold coins. Within five years, they can live comfortably even if they don’t work.

"However, because there are still two horses, we need to make a little change!" Hughes paused for a while to allow the farmers to communicate fully before continuing. As soon as these words came out, the farmers who had been very excited were as if they had won the magic of setting their body. The blood on their faces faded immediately and their faces were extremely stiff.

The young Shire was also ugly. He suddenly remembered the story about the greed of the nobleman he had heard before, and he immediately had a bad idea in his heart. Although, he is now the leader of forty strong men, very powerful. But even so, he dared not speak, and could only endure the torment caused by worry, waiting for the noble's final decision.

Hughes is very satisfied with the effect now. He just wants this group of people to think that he wants to swallow the gold coins alone, and he has to swallow his voice. This is to teach them a lesson. The matter just now, Hughes didn't say anything, but he was really unhappy in his heart. If it weren't for Ram to be angry with him, he couldn't easily send two thousand gold coins to a group of farmers.

Two thousand gold coins is not enough to enter Xius' eyes, and he cannot shake his decision, but that is because he is a distinguished heir to the Viscount, and he will be in charge of tens of thousands of gold coins in the future. His identity requires him to do so Look at this order of magnitude of money.

In fact, judging from his actual situation, Hughes’ pocket money from his home does not exceed one thousand gold coins every year. And the gains of the bandits this time have already covered his spending for two years. Sending it out like this really made Hughes heartbroken.

This is normal, although it is also contradictory, but this is the case with nobles. Many times, the money in their hands can solve all problems. But there are also moments when money is the least valuable thing in their hearts.

Fortunately, he was angry now, and the temptation to take all the gold coins as his own was much lighter.

"Relax, I won't be greedy for your money. After all, you have also fought side by side with me. I have to say it is a small transaction. The two horses are not the kind we need and are not convenient to take away. . So, I hope to sell it to you at market price. You know, horses are good things. They can help you pull carts and transport goods, and they can also help you open up wasteland and farm land. Very useful."

Most of the farmers were relieved, and their eyes immediately looked at the front Shire. Although everyone prefers gold coins, if the transaction itself is fair, then it is obviously worthless to offend the nobles for this trivial matter.

After thinking about it, Charlotte nodded and agreed: "The idea of ​​the adult is very good. I accept the transaction on behalf of Shire Village. Now the market price of Jianma is 60 to 80 gold coins. I look at these two horses. The condition of the horse is very good, so our transaction is calculated based on 80 gold coins. I believe that Grandpa will also agree with my decision."

"Ah ~ 80 gold coins..." At this moment, there was an exclaimation from the crowd, and Shire immediately turned to stare at them, suppressing the commotion.

Hughes stunned, looking at the respectful young man puzzledly. Where can a healthy horse sell for 80 gold coins, it is already close to the level of war horses. These two horses, each 70 gold coins are already very good.

At this moment, Nalco came over with a smile, he patted on Shire's shoulder, and exclaimed: "Your boy, you learned a lot from your grandfather's slickness. Well, we accept this price, call Your people just pick a bag, take 80 gold coins from it and put them in another bag, then we will separate and rush out."

"Yes, sir." Shire didn't tell anyone to come up, he picked the bag on the left, and then quickly counted a pile of gold coins from it, placed it in the purse belonging to Hughes' side, and finally held Shire Those in the village backed away. The farmers immediately gathered around him, and everyone's eager eyes were on the big money bag.

"Why should we give us more money?" Hughes quietly asked Nalco. Nalco also whispered: "We will leave and talk later, things are not over yet."

"Listen to me!" Nalco suddenly screamed. This time, he used a grudge and was quite shocked. Most of the farmers were scared and almost sat down.

"The money cannot be distributed in the wilderness and the wilderness. You should wait for you to return to the village and release it under the verification of Old Shire and everyone. You should believe the character of Old Shire. Are you correct?"

The farmers agreed in unison. The old Shire's family has been in power for three generations in the Shire village. His reputation has always been very good. He has never greeded the villagers' money and money. Everyone believes them. There is no doubt about it.

"Very good," Nalco suddenly pulled out his long sword and pointed to the crowd. Everyone shouted back, all hiding behind Shire, daring not to face Nalcon's eagle-hawk's sharp eyes, stunned.

"Then listen well, since you all agree, this money can only be distributed under the witness of the Shire village. Then, if someone dares to see the money on the way back, trying to grab the money and escape, don't worry , Obedience people can go together and directly kill the robbers. Remember, this money is you desperately exchanged for this, two people are still dead for this, no one is eligible to rob the money that belongs to you, understand? ?"

The wise Charles heard his face white and then happy again. He quickly saluted Nalco and thanked him for his help. Before Lord Nalco said this, he really hadn't thought about the crisis this money might bring him.
