The next day, just after dawn, Arthur opened his eyes. The cold air and warm quilt made him don''t want to get out of bed at all.

    As a lord, he naturally has the right to sleep in, but he has no quilt of mobile phone and Internet, and has no sealing ability at all.

    "One, two, three, launch!" Arthur kicked the quilt open.

    The warm quilt was swept by the cool wind and lifted his turtle shell. Wearing only a set of silk pajamas, he felt the chill in an instant and suddenly had no sleep.

    Arthur stepped on the animal skin carpet by the bed, grabbed the clothes he had taken off last night and put them on him.

    "Lord Arthur!"

    As soon as her head got out of her sweater, Leah suddenly ran into the room and saw Arthur dressing himself. She hurried forward in a panic.

    "No, no, I wear it myself."

    Seeing Leia suddenly running in, Arthur sat down on the bed and stretched out his hand to pull the quilt over his leg.

    "Sir, I''d better serve you."

    Holding Arthur''s pants, Leah squatted down by the bed and motioned Arthur to stretch out his feet.

    "No, I''ll wear it myself. Go and get me some hot water for me to wash my face." Arthur grabbed Leia''s pants and urged, "go, go."

    Seeing that Arthur robbed her pants, Leah didn''t dare to lift her head. She was stunned and felt that she had made a big mistake.

    "My Lord, I was wrong. I shouldn''t have fallen asleep or got up so late last night... I, I..." said, Leah''s shoulder shook and tears fell down.

    The count didn''t like her and thought she was stupid. He quarreled several times to ask housekeeper Benjie to find two more mature maids.

    The housekeeper looked for some, but the count said it was too ugly.

    The maid''s job is the best in the castle. She doesn''t want to lose this good job at all.

    She has worked very hard, but yesterday she was so tired that she didn''t know how to fall asleep. When she woke up, she was already in bed.

    Leah felt so useless that she went to bed earlier and got up later than the count.

    "Don''t cry, don''t cry, go to bed when you sleep. It''s normal for you to do so much work during the day. I don''t blame you. Don''t cry..." Arthur quickly comforted.

    Although he had dozens of girlfriends in his last life, he had no experience in comforting girls. Leah was not allowed to serve because it was inconvenient in the morning.

    After a few more words of persuasion, Leah stood up and bowed slightly to Arthur: "Sir, wait a minute. I''ll get hot water right away."

    When Leia left, Arthur quickly put on his pants. When she came back with hot water, Arthur had put on all his clothes.

    The clothes in this world are too troublesome. The leather armor of his coat needs to be buckled. Finally, with the help of Leia, Arthur dressed neatly.

    When Arthur packed up and came to the restaurant, the servant immediately served a steaming meal, including cream, cheese, honey, bacon and two eggs in addition to the bread that had not changed for a century.

    After breakfast, Arthur sent the blueprint drawings to John, the old fellow Smith.

    Old John wore a black hole apron, took a few drawings and looked at them carefully. The urn said, "Lord Arthur, this thing you painted is not complicated. You can make it in a few days."

    There are three blacksmiths in the castle. In addition to old John, there are his two sons, who are mainly responsible for making and repairing the guards'' armor and weapons.

    "That''s hard for you. Remember to inform me as soon as you''re done."

    A cart, mostly carpentry, Arthur thought it would take at least ten days, but he didn''t expect it to take only five days. This is mainly due to old John''s eldest son Pippen, who is a blacksmith who is good at carpentry.

    After sending the drawings, Arthur was in a good mood. Looking at Old John''s relaxed appearance, the Columbine should be done.

    "Master Arthur."

    As soon as Arthur stepped into the Council hall, the housekeeper Benjamin stopped him. It seemed that he had been waiting for Arthur here.

    "Housekeeper Benjie, what can I do for you?"

    "Yes." patted the big ledger in his arms, and the housekeeper said slowly, "there are many accounts that you need to check and look at. Since the beginning of winter, the castle has a huge cost, and the grain has been transported to the fortress as you ordered. In addition, Gustav also withdrew a thousand gold coins. In addition, he is the bodyguard of this sacrifice..."

    Arthur sat the housekeeper down and said slowly. He also sat in a chair.

    After Banjie finished his work, Arthur frowned and asked, "how long can the food in the castle last?"

    "It''s only two months at most. We need to buy some grain, at least until the farm harvests new grain this year."

    "It should be." Arthur nodded and let him do it. Then he asked, "how many gold coins are there in the castle?"

    Opening the account book, the housekeeper pointed to a string of numbers on it and said slowly, "there are 989 gold coins and 3400 silver coins in the castle. The copper coins are not recorded in detail. There are about 10000 more."

    "OK, OK." Arthur was a little relieved to hear that there were nearly a thousand gold coins.

    "Housekeeper, those sacrificial bodyguards will each be given a pension of ten gold coins. In addition, as long as they are serfs who sacrifice in the fortress, they will each be given fifty silver coins. Don''t give them all at once. Just give them five silver coins a year."

    "Master Arthur, there are too many ten gold coins, and the serfs don''t have to give them..."

    "It doesn''t hurt!" interrupted Benjamin''s housekeeper, and Arthur said directly: "for those who sacrifice for Lingfeng castle in the future, regardless of their status, even slaves, as long as there are relatives, Lingfeng castle will pay pensions, and the family will take care of them as appropriate!"

    After sending the drawings, Arthur was going to get out the pension system today. In addition to the guards in the castle, of course, he also included the serfs who died this time.

    Yesterday, he had asked Gustav to recruit craftsmen to choose a site to build a camp in the open space behind the castle.

    To establish a professional army, the pension system is a crucial link. The aftermath of the dead soldiers will be directly related to the combat effectiveness of the army.

    In addition to providing relief to family members, the most important thing is to stabilize the morale of the army so that soldiers have no worries and dare to fight against the enemy.

    Moreover, before the conscription, the pension for resisting the animal tide will be paid in advance, which can also let the serfs see his attitude and be conducive to future training.

    Seeing Arthur''s tone was firm, Thorne just stood aside. After a little hesitation, the old housekeeper didn''t insist.

    Then, housekeeper Benjie reported all kinds of trivia to Arthur one by one. After Arthur''s decision, he returned with the account book.

    Arthur breathed a sigh of relief after dealing with the details of the castle.

    Although it''s not a big deal, it''s hard enough to understand everything one by one.

    Fortunately, there is an old housekeeper, Benjamin, who takes care of the castle in good order. He only needs to listen to most things and nod his head.
