Your Majesty, the Spectacle Has Missed the Country!

Chapter 4 The Earl wants to shovel shit

Early next morning.

"Hiss Liu~"

"Hiss Liu~ Hiss Liu~"

The chef in the castle is somewhat savvy, and after watching Bruno demonstrate it himself, he got it. After all, making noodles is actually not difficult.

But what is commendable is that he actually developed a new dish, poached eggs, like a self-taught man.

"Being able to come up with new dishes by himself shows that this new cook is not an idiot. Remember to reward him." Bruno said casually.

"I'll make arrangements right away, sir."

After having a delicious breakfast, which was not a sumptuous breakfast, Shabi had been waiting at the gate of the castle for a long time.

Although he was a little puzzled by Bruno's sudden decision to patrol the territory, he didn't ask any more questions and just followed Bruno's instructions to the letter.

According to the pre-plan, Bruno planned to take a good look at his territory, Idar City, today.

This is not only to better understand the world, but also to choose the location for the hanging garden.

There were not many people accompanying him. In addition to the valet Shabi, there were two soldiers. As for the old butler Ford, he was busy doing the census of Idar City.

He got on his horse and rode forward relying on his memory.

This was Bruno's first time riding a horse after crossing. It was shaky and bumpy at first, but he quickly adapted to it, and even used a small whip to urge the horse underneath him from time to time.

Bruno's Earl's Castle is located in the northwest corner of Idar City, built on a low hill. Although this castle, which is only about three or four stories high, does not look so majestic, and even a bit shabby in Bruno's opinion, But it is already the tallest and most luxurious building in Idar City.

After all, luxury is relative.

Along the way, Bruno discovered that the farther away from his castle, the simpler the residents' houses became.

Most of the houses closest to the castle are stone two-story buildings, and some even have a large courtyard. As he gradually moved away from the castle, the houses gradually changed from stone to wooden, and even the courtyard became smaller and smaller.

"Most of the residents around the castle work for our castle, and the pay on weekdays is quite generous, so their lives are relatively affluent in Idar City." Seemingly seeing Bruno's doubts, Shabi explained thoughtfully.

"Actually, you didn't have to come here. Most of the people living in this area are poor people and serfs. There is nothing interesting to see."

The road gradually became narrower, and an unpleasant smell was mixed in the air.

Probably because it rained a few days ago, the road was a little muddy, and the feces of cows and horses mixed with the mud and water on the ground, making it difficult to distinguish.

There were gradually more and more people on both sides of the road. Most of them were wearing dirty, worn-out shorts and walking barefoot on the muddy dirt road. Some of them had shackles on their feet and their eyes were dull.

Shabitze immediately stepped forward and walked in front of Bruno.

"Get out of the way, everyone, get out of the way, a noble gentleman is passing by." He waved his whip and shouted loudly, looking like a bully.

"Don't hurt women and children." Bruno warned from behind, but did not stop him.

This is the case in this world. Before there was a huge force, he had no choice but to go with the flow.

The barefooted children on the roadside had runny noses and looked curiously at the noble master on the horse. However, they were quickly pushed down by their panicked parents, and they knelt on both sides of the road in confusion.

This is Idar and this world.

Nearly 10,000 civilians and slaves gathered in Idar City. The closer they got to the city, the more crowded the streets became, and the sour smell in the air became stronger.

As he gradually went deeper into the center of the city, Bruno finally understood what the smell was in the air.

It is the result of human and livestock excrement constantly fermenting in the air.

Bruno even saw someone casually dumping a large pool of excrement on the roadside. Then when he saw him, a nobleman riding a horse, he suddenly knelt on the ground and had an intimate relationship with some indescribable existence. touch.

Oh my god, this smell is disgusting!

After realizing this, a terrifying term suddenly appeared in Bruno's mind, the Black Death!

A great plague that killed one-third of Westerners on earth!

"These feces...are treated like this?"

Sabi nodded matter-of-factly.

Also, when it is difficult for a person to even fill his stomach and make a living, how can he have time to pay attention to hygiene?

A clean and hygienic living environment is something only nobles in this world can enjoy!

Fortunately, riding a horse...

Bruno finally understood why medieval nobles always carried umbrellas when going out, and finally understood the origin of the smell of high heels.

Holding back the disgusting smell in the air, the four masters and servants couldn't help but speed up their journey, heading towards the city wall that was already in sight not far away.

Finally... out of town.

After leaving the city, Bruno couldn't help but take a deep breath. The breath of nature was so beautiful.

"Shabi!" Bruno said seriously.

"Master, what are your orders?"

"Go ahead and order someone to collect feces in the city starting from tomorrow. Also, post a notice. One big basket of feces... No, three big baskets of feces can be exchanged for one copper!"

dirty! chaos! Difference!

This is Bruno's entire impression of Idar City.

He absolutely cannot accept that his territory looks like this.

Bruno is a man who cherishes his life. The dirty sanitary environment in Idar City is tantamount to a time bomb. Once detonated, it will be an uncontrollable plague!

Bruno will never allow such a thing to happen!

Shabi rubbed his ears. He thought there might be something wrong with his ears.

"Collecting...feces?" Shabi asked with some uncertainty. UU reading www.uukanｓhu. net

"That's right! You heard it right!" Bruno said without any doubt.

"But... isn't three large baskets with one copper plate a bit... too much? After all, even if it's ten large baskets with one copper plate, someone will still give it away."

Shabi was about to cry. The master had just been stable for a while, why did he start to behave randomly again? After all, whose fiefdom is not like this.

When he thought that those lovely copper plates were equated with dirty feces, Shabi felt like he was on the verge of tears. He would definitely be scolded by the old housekeeper when he returned.

"Then five baskets of feces can be exchanged for one copper plate, and that's it." Bruno made a decision immediately.

Gold, silver and copper coins were the currency of the Norman Empire.

One gold coin can be exchanged for ten silver coins, and one silver coin can be exchanged for ten copper coins.

The nobles like to use gold coins, but the common people can only afford copper coins. As for silver coins... the nobles feel that silver coins are worth less, but ordinary people cannot afford silver coins. Therefore, silver coins are the least circulated.

"But this will incur a lot of expenses in the territory. After all, just shoveling on the road in the city can get a big puddle of feces." Shabi whispered.

"It doesn't matter, feces is a good thing." Bruno said with a smile.

"Good... good stuff?" Shabi felt that his master was becoming more and more abnormal.

"What? Do you have any objections?" Bruno glared at him fiercely.

"No! No!" Shabi said quickly.

"The serfs tend to be slow in their work and need a capable hand to take care of them. Let's do this. I will appoint you as the feces shovel officer of Idar City. Starting from tomorrow, you will be responsible for supervising the slaves to shovel and collect feces."
