Black Iron’s Glory

Chapter 4 Hasby and Morsan

People always habitually think about the benefits before they do things. Few people will consider what happens if the development of things is not as good as he imagined or developed in the bad direction...

The same is true of Hasby and his father-in-law Miller. In fact, the idea of ​​the miller is not bad, he is also a good heart, and it can even be said that the conversion of a red brick house into a high-class hotel is indeed a good proposal for Hasby. Only they have forgotten the most important thing. The social environment and economic foundation determine the success or failure of all business activities.

The civil war in the Kingdom of Ovilas has been going on for more than two years, and the armed forces of Prince Calgat have gradually gained the upper hand. As the rear of the three southwestern counties is the prince's basic camp, providing the prince with a steady supply of weapons, food, heavy and reserve soldiers. Under such circumstances, the entire southwestern three counties undertook a heavy armament production task, as did Bailu Town.

Because of the civil war, the business in the kingdom was sluggish, and the prince hated the corrupt character of the aristocrats and officials in the territory, and advocated thrift to stop the extravagant acts and all the slogans fighting for the rejuvenation of the kingdom, so that the land he occupied would not be able to appear in the past. Nobles and officials pay attention to the situation of the ratio of treatment.

Even those officials who rushed to the front line and passed through Bailu Town, preferring to stay in the tents of the camp, would rather spend a few Yintales to visit Haasby’s newly opened high-class hotel...

Therefore, Hasby spent more than half of the property rebuilding, the Field Hotel became a sneak peek after three days of crowds of the townspeople. The idea that the miller envisioned people to experience the luxury of aristocratic life became an empty talk. . Under such circumstances, Hassby, who had suffered for four months, could not continue, and had to dismiss the servants, chefs and maids hired, and changed the hotel into an intermediate hotel, which drastically lowered the price to receive Merchants and travelers, this barely maintained their lives.

After another half a year, the news of the victory of Prince Calgary came as the Prince became king on the throne and became a great social, economic, administrative and military reform of the kingdom. Slowly recovered from the consumption of war, the caravans and travellers in Bailu Town began to increase, and the business of the Field Hostel finally improved.

At this time, Molly was pregnant. After her pregnancy in October, she gave birth to a healthy little boy. Hasbi named his son Morsan, and the Field family had a successor.

That was Haasby's happiest time. He had a good career, and this career can be passed down in the future, from generation to generation. He has a virtuous wife and a lovely child. This kind of life is a beautiful life that was never dreamed of by the farmer's Hasby.

When Morssan was four years old, Molly was pregnant again, and Haasby was happy to close her mouth. But what I didn't expect was that this time Molly was a twin, and there was a big bleeding in the production. Even if Hassby turned to the three temples in the town, he pleaded for the blessing of the gods and offered a large amount of property. But in the end, Molly closed her eyes, and the child couldn’t keep it.

This tragedy has killed the spirit of Hasby’s whole person. Since then, he has been drinking alcohol, and he has been stunned all day, no longer managing the affairs of the hostel. Even the little Morsan has not taken care of him, no matter who will persuade him. Don't listen, just know how to pour into your mouth...

The equally sorrowful Miller took the little Morssan to live with him. Haasby, who had no concern and restraint, became a drunkard completely. Soon after, the business club that had plummeted business closed down.

So Mr. Morssan had no respect and affection for his father. When he remembered, his mother was gone, his father became a drunkard, and he was drunk all day. Sometimes he was drunk and mad at home. I recite the name of his mother. This left an impression of fear in the heart of the young Morsan. Fortunately, his grandfather, the miller did not forget him, took him to the side, and he left the terrible red brick house.

When Morssan was 12 years old, thanks to the educational reforms pursued by Sterling IX, civilian children could also attend school in the newly established National Public School. So his grandfather sent him to the city of Baromiese in the county, becoming a boarding school for the first national public elementary school just established in the three southwestern counties.

Haasby seems to have forgotten that he still has a son. He never asked Morsean about everything. Morsean’s eight years of tuition and living expenses in the county town were all made by the old miller’s grandson, which led to Morsan became more and more resentful of his father.

When Morsang was 18 years old and was preparing to read the second year of the middle school, his father Hasby died. The cause of death was drunk in the small river ditch after drinking alcohol. The result was killed by a river less than half a meter deep. Morsan, who heard the news, was relieved, as if he had unloaded a heavy load.

After Hasby’s death, he left only the dilapidated red brick house, nothing else, and even owed a ten-year-old Yintale’s debt to the town’s pub. Finally, the debt was still the old mill owner. The female niece who died is going to pay it back.

Morsan only took three days off and rushed to Bailu Town to preside over the father’s funeral and burial ceremony with the help of the old miller. He did not look at the red brick house and hurried back to school to continue his study career. .

Two years later, Morsan graduated from the middle of the country, and he is ready to stay in the county to find a job. But the old miller wrote a letter to let him go back.

Morsan returned to Bailu Town, only to find that the old mill was seriously ill and was already bedridden.

The old miller wanted to leave all his property to Morssan, and perhaps he thought that Morsan could be a qualified new owner of the mill.

The old miller was lying on the hospital bed to tell Morsang about the red brick house and Hasby got it. He said that at that time, many people in the town did not know how to envy Hasby's good fortune.

Morsan asked his grandfather, did he hate his father?

The old miller smiled. He said that he never hated Hasby. Haasby turned into a drunkard because Molly’s death had hit him too much, so he would rather indulge in alcohol anesthesia than Facing the reality of losing a wife and children. From this point of view, he did not marry his daughter to the wrong person, Molly had a husband who loved her deeply.

Silence for a while, the old mill owner continued, perhaps Hasby’s death is a relief for himself and all those who sympathize with him. All we can do is to silently wish your father and mother in the moon god. Reunion in the paradise, where they will be very happy and well-being...

Two months later, the old miller passed away. When everyone thought that Morsan would take over the old mill, Morsan made a decision that was unexpected. He sold the old mill to others and then put all his money into the dilapidated red brick. The renovation and renovation of the big house went up.

Morsan is not going to inherit his father's business and reopen the Kaifield Hostel. This renovation is a very complete change for the big red brick house. The appearance is not moving, but the interior has become completely different.

Morssan opened the fourth floor of the suite on the far left and re-routed a staircase. Then the passage of the suite and other suites was closed with a wall, making it an independent four-story building as his own. Living room.

In the other three suites and lofts on the second and third floors of the red brick house, Morsan just changed a room in each suite into a kitchen. The bathroom and bathroom were originally there, without major changes. Then the pipe was cleared, the water pipe was connected, and the decoration of each room was very neat and concise, so that he had six suites suitable for the home and three lofts.

As for the first floor, Morssan asked people to demolish the door and replace the red brick wall with floor-to-ceiling windows. Except for the stairway leading to the second floor, the rest of the place was changed into two large and three independent commercial and residential shops.

After the remodeling, Morsan began to rent out his house and shop in Bailu Town. The move sensationalized the entire White Deer Town. No one thought that Morsang would put the most famous red brick house in the town. It was converted into a commercial and residential apartment.

At this time, it has been 21 years since Prince Carlart became Prince Sterling IX. The comprehensive reform of the kingdom he has presided over has already shown results. The kingdom of the Kingdom of Ovilas is booming, especially after the victory over the kingdom of Nasri, the kingdom of Nasri, and the demise of annexation of the Principality of Berkeley. The Kingdom of Ovilas has become a powerful country that cannot be ignored in the Farah continent. overlord.

The interior trade of the kingdom is developed, the people live and work in peace, the handicraft industry and the mining industry are very prosperous, and the scene is flourishing. In Bailu Town, which is located at the gateway of the three major traffic routes in the southwest, the business trips and pedestrians coming and going have made the place so lively.

The shops and apartment houses that Morssan launched were immediately rented out. From this point of view, Morsan is more savvy than his father and grandfather, and every step of the way is very realistic. The conversion of red brick houses into shops and apartment houses has not only provided him with long-term and stable income, but also guaranteed daily living expenses and daily expenses. At the same time, he avoided the expenses and operating troubles of opening a hotel.

Twenty years later, Mr. Morsan once spoke to people about his decision at the time. He said that whether he was running the old mill or reopening the Field Hotel, he was nothing more than a small miller in the town or a hotel owner. It is impossible to improve one's social status. So he came up with this method, so that he did not have the worries to devote himself to public office.

When the people in the town envied Morsean's life and food, Morsan was seeking an administrative paper in the town of Bailu. As the first national graduate of the first national public school established in the three southwestern counties, Morsan has successfully applied for this position even if he is a civilian.

The most important thing in the social reform of the kingdom of Sterling IX was the promulgation of the "Four People's Rights and Interests Act." The people of the kingdom are divided into four classes, nobles, nationals, civilians and refugees.

People who have been educated must look farther than those who are uneducated. After most people in the town are satisfied with their civilian status and grateful to the king for canceling most of the labor restrictions on civilians, the restrictions on the identity of civilians, Moore Sang’s gaze is on the national identity. He hopes to use the “Four People’s Rights and Interests Act” to improve his social status and become a kingdom official and get political rights...
