"Sir!" Grace and Alice were both startled when they heard Lord Menghan's words. The anxious Grace almost screamed, while Alice had already screamed.
"What's wrong?" Seeing the expressions of the two housekeepers, Meng Han was very puzzled. Was there anything too outrageous about what he just said?
"Sir, working for you is everyone's business, and you don't need to pay a salary." Grace quickly glared at her somewhat rude sister Alice, and then turned to explain to Meng Han.
"No salary?" Meng Han couldn't help but be surprised when he heard the words that came out of Grace's mouth. As a good young man who was born and raised in a democratic society, he had never heard of such nonsense as not getting paid for his work.
Although everyone was busy working and had little income before, Meng Han did not have time to put this matter on the agenda, but it does not mean that Meng Han is a black-hearted capitalist who does not even pay wages to the people who work.
"Of course, sir, lords have the right to make their subjects perform corvee services to offset taxes." Although Grace is not as good as Meng Han in some ways of making money, in terms of noble etiquette or rules,
But it is several times better than Meng Han, who is a dabbler: "My lord, you have never collected taxes, and you have also given us food and shelter. If you accept your salary, no one will be able to feel at ease."
"Yes, sir!" Alice next to her was glared at by her sister. She knew that her exclamation just now was very rude, so she hurriedly made up for it. Fortunately, the lord did not blame him. After being familiar with the lord for so long, he almost forgot the up and down.
Honor and inferiority.
Meng Han did not realize that there was anything unbecoming of a lady in Alice's exclamation. On the contrary, he was very surprised by the rules here: "Grace, tell me, what authority do I, the lord, have? I used to
You don't even know." Meng Han tried to keep his tone gentler. He had already seen the respectful attitude of Grace and Alice, and he didn't want to become so serious.
"Sir, you are free to levy taxes in your territory. As long as it does not provoke civil unrest, you can levy taxes as you like." Grace looked at the lord carefully, as if she was very afraid that he would know that he could levy taxes.
, began to impose exorbitant taxes immediately, life here has just improved a little, everyone has just seen some hope, and no one wants to go back to the previous days.
The Lord has never mentioned these things before. Grace thought that the Lord knew about the power he enjoyed, but he was merciful and did not use it. Moreover, during this period of interaction, she saw a very gentle Lord, but
, now she knows that the lord did not impose taxes because he did not know that the lord could do this before.
This is a terrible discovery, at least Grace thinks so. Her psychological changes seem to have vaguely affected Alice. The two of them are now even talking with trepidation. Will Meng Han know these powers again?
After that, what kind of excessive behavior did you have?
"Oh, you can collect taxes at will? That's great!" Sure enough, Meng Han's reaction after hearing the news was almost exactly what Grace had guessed, and even worse. After hearing the news, the lord
The adults are very happy, but this is not a good sign.
"Is there any more?" Meng Han didn't notice the change in the housekeeper's face, but happily started to ask if there were any other powers.
"The lord can have a personal army." Grace didn't know if she had just reminded the lord that this was the right thing to do. Now she regretted it very much. If she had known better, she would have followed the lord's wishes and discussed the salary issue at most.
She just needs to lower her salary a little to make the adults look good. Now, she can no longer take back what she said, so she can only grit her teeth and tell her what she knows.
"Jinbing team? Not bad, not bad." Meng Han nodded subconsciously and praised: "How many personal soldiers can I have?"
"My lord is a baron, and you can have up to fifty personal soldiers." Grace was even more panicked. If the lord had personal soldiers, in this town, it would be more serious. I don't know what he would do.
matter.
"Besides, besides..." Grace couldn't hold on to some of the words that followed. She even said it twice, but couldn't continue.
Grace's strange behavior finally caught Meng Han's attention. He looked at the housekeeper who was trembling all over, and Meng Han said kindly and caringly: "What's the matter? Are you feeling unwell?"
"It's okay, sir." Grace forced herself to calm down, and there was still a glimmer of hope in her heart. The gentleman has been very gentle these days, and he is definitely not that kind of person. Thinking of this, she also regained a little strength.
Alice looked at her sister Grace's strange behavior, and for some reason, she felt an unprecedented despair in her heart. It seemed that she also thought of Grace's problem just now, and Alice's body also began to tremble.
Meng Han had already realized the abnormality of the two sisters. However, after much deliberation, he did not understand what in the conversation just now could cause the two sisters to misunderstand. He was very confused: "What else?" Meng Han was puzzled.
, they can only continue to ask, maybe the next power will scare them a little.
"Also, if a citizen in the territory commits a crime, you can be convicted according to the circumstances of the crime, and the maximum penalty is hanging." Grace tried her best to make these words more complete: "In addition, outsiders
People can also follow the instructions."
"Well, very good. If those guys dare to commit crimes here, they will all be hanged!" Meng Han was even more excited when he heard that outsiders could be punished and started dancing.
Seeing the Lord's performance, Grace's heart sank to the bottom of her heart. The Lord's first reaction after hearing this was to hang people if they committed crimes, which was exactly the same as some of the Lords she had heard of in her imagination.
"In addition, if someone gets married in the territory, you can request... request... on the basis of exempting that family from taxes for three years." This is another very troublesome provision, and Grace is a little embarrassed to explain it.
"What are you asking for?" The more she said this, the more curious Meng Han became and the more he wanted to know.
"You can ask for the bride's hand!" After finally saying this, Grace lowered her head, but secretly observed the lord.
"Wow!" Meng Han opened his mouth wide and exclaimed, then blew a loud whistle: "It's so cool to have such power!"
Upon hearing the adults' words, Grace and Alice's faces instantly turned pale.
