Chapter 23 Little Warriors and Guards
"I am the child of the Mark family, the oldest one, Baron." The thin boy replied to William with a little pride and a little inferiority.
"Mark's?" William thought intently, "Oh, it turns out you are the child of the Mark's family!"
"Master Baron, do you know my father?" The thin boy was stunned, then raised his head and looked at William with his eyes.
"Of course, I have a deep impression of him!"
Didn't William still have a deep impression of Mark?
He was the first villager to come to exchange for Puer copper coins with him, and he was also the first villager to come to sign up for weaving baskets.
Every day, I weave baskets of brooms in the open space next to the dirt house. William and they looked up and looked down. How could they not be impressed?
Of course, all the golden silk grass had been used up, and the villagers also went to the nearby area to find what William wanted in exchange for a high bounty.
This is also the reason why Knight West came into the village but found no one.
"Really?" The boy from the Mark family couldn't believe that a dignified lord would actually remember his father.
"Of course, I won't lie to you! Your father Mark is a brave man. Yes, I think he is a brave man!" William praised him. A literary master in his previous life said that the first person who dares to eat crabs is brave!
The same is true for Mark.
He was the first person to dare to come over to exchange Poole copper coins with golden silk grass.
"Thank you for your compliment!" The boy from the Mark family didn't expect his father to get such a high evaluation from William, and he felt a little proud for a moment.
"What I'm talking about is the fact! In addition, I have to say, little guy, you are also a brave person." William praised again.
"Sir Baron, I just did what I should do." The boy from the Mark family was a little embarrassed.
"This is something that many people can't do. The shining points on you are enough to make others lose their glory!" William's praise made the little boy dizzy and blushed.
"Sir Baron, you...I..." the little boy couldn't say a complete sentence.
"Little Warrior, why did you risk your life just now and not give me up?" William was always curious about this.
The boy from the Mark family said for granted, "Sir Baron, you have allowed our parents, brothers and sisters to eat black bread. I can't expose you to danger!"
Having eaten black bread? William was a little stunned. Can money bring loyalty?
William laughed at the boy, then asked again.
"By the way, I don't know your name yet, little warrior?"
"Kerry, Kerry Mark! Lord Baron, my name is Kerry Mark!" The thin boy replied quickly.
"Oh, Kerry Mark!" William asked after reading the thin boy's name, his eyes moved, "How old are you?"
"Seventeen years old, Baron."
"Seventeen?" William was stunned for a moment when he looked at Kerry Mark, who was much smaller than him. No matter how he was, he couldn't tell that he was already seventeen.
Well, I can't use his 21st century gaze from his previous life here and put it on them. William thought to himself, and he hesitated for a moment, then made a decision and asked the boy, "Kerry Mark, I'm going to set up a guard in the village, Little Warrior, are you willing to join?"
"Guard?" Kerry Mark's eyes were puzzled.
"Yes. The guards, a team that protects me and the villagers," William explained gentlely.
"Then... Lord Baron, can I still pick up feces after I enter the escort?" Kerry Mark hesitated for a moment and asked carefully.
"Picking up feces? Stupid! The Baron personally invited you, you just want to pick up these disgusting things!" Old John, who was beside him, finally couldn't help but scold him.
"I'm sorry, Mr. John."
Kerry Mark was immediately scared like a panicked rabbit. Old John's prestige in the village has become increasingly deep during this period. After all, he has the power to exchange items.
Those villagers dared not offend him.
"Old John, don't scare him, he's just a child!" William interjected with a smile.
William's smile is bright, and at this moment, Kerry Mark's eyes are like the sun!
Old John groaned and stopped talking. He was still worried about winter!
William patted Old John on the shoulder, laughed, and said to Kerry Mark, "Kerry Mark, I'm sorry, once you enter the escort, you have to participate in various training, and you have to patrol the village to protect other villagers! So, you can't pick up...the manure anymore!"
Kerry Mark was very disappointed when he heard this.
"Kerry, tell me why do you want to pick up feces?" William looked at it and was curious.
Kerry Mark hesitated for a moment, peeked at Old John, and then said, "Because a basket of feces can be exchanged for two Poole copper coins. Three baskets, only three baskets, I can exchange six Poole copper coins. I can buy a black bread with the stingy Adams, eat it with my younger brother, sister, father and mother, and save a Poole copper coins."
Kerry Mark calculated by his fingers.
"Hahaha... Kerry, but when you go into the guard, you have a salary!" Although he guessed the reason why Kerry Mark wanted to pick up feces, William couldn't help laughing when he said it from him.
"Salary?" Kerry Mark wondered, he didn't understand the term.
"Just have money!" William had to explain.
Rich? Kerry Mark's eyes lit up. He hesitated for a moment, and finally gathered up the courage and asked William, "Sir Baron, how much can the guard you mentioned cost?"
Kerry Mark asked with caution.
"I think about it." William said. William wanted to form the guard team very early, but the business was busy, so he pushed it again and again!
Until just now, when he saw another lord's knight in his territory, William finally made up his mind to build the guard.
You can't let him, the lord, go to the lord every time you have something to do. Besides, two fists can't beat four hands!
"The guards are rewarded for twenty-five Poole copper coins a day!" William said, "and every month it is 7 francs and 50 Poole copper coins."
"Dongdongdongdong..."
Kerry Mark felt his heart beating violently, his eyes full of disbelief.
"In addition, let's take a meal!" William added this one, mainly because he will take the guards to train in the future. High-intensity training will not work without sufficient nutrition.
If conditions permit, William actually wanted to cover it, but he did not have any extra house at the moment. The dirt house was filled with woven handicrafts, so he could only let the guards live in his home.
Kerry Mark's little heart beat faster, he swallowed and asked William, "Sir Baron, what is a bag to eat?"
"It's all the food you eat, provided by the Baron. Little guy, don't thank the generous Baron!" Old John helped William answer Kerry Mark's question angrily, and said.
If it weren't for Kerry Mark being taken into the Guard by William and becoming his colleague in the future, Old John wouldn't have called him a little guy, but a pariah!
At this point, Old John and the West Knight had similar attitudes, and they treated these villagers with a high attitude.
"Thank you, Lord Baron, thank you, Lord Baron!" Kerry Mark knelt down and kowtowed to William desperately.
William helped him up, and Kerry Mark continued to thank him.
His intention was good, but that tone made William a little unbearable.
While enduring the attack of poisonous gas, William pretended to be nothing, and thought about how to solve the villagers' personal hygiene problems. He could say, "Then so, Kerry, are you willing to join the guard?"
"Yes, Lord Baron, I do! I am willing to fight for you!"
"Okay!" William nodded, avoiding Kerry Mark's tone without a trace, and then said, "Two days later, you go to the dirt house and report to me!"
"Yes, Lord Baron!" Kerry Mark nodded suddenly.
"Also, clean up these things. Build them in the composting pit and remember you two Poole copper coins." Old John pointed to the feces on the ground and said.
The composting pit was the one that William dug for outside the village, and it was named.
Although Old John didn't know the meaning, it did not prevent the name from becoming popular in the village.
The villagers now know that if a basket of feces is taken, and the composting pit is found, they can exchange them for two Poole copper coins.
