Chapter 272: They need reform through labor
. In the end, the Tacoma mother and daughter stayed.
Sophia became Hardy's head maid.
They still live in the original room, the largest one, and the layout of the house has not changed.
But Sophia felt waves of strangeness.
It may be due to a change in identity, or it may be due to the disappearance of family members.
It was obviously a familiar place and a familiar smell, but it didn't give her any sense of security.
Guiwenil blinked and looked at his mother, and asked in a low voice: "Can I have some dessert?" "
Wait a minute, I'll go down and get it for you, but I can only eat two pieces."
Sophia said gently. But I felt like crying in my heart.
More than a month ago, my daughter could just ask the servant to bring her as many cakes as she wanted. There was no need to limit the amount.
But Sophia also understood that it was the young Marquis who was 'merciful' that she could stay here and become the head maid.
She went down to the kitchen and asked for some pastries, and the maid next to her immediately brought them out for her.
These maids were all from the original batch. Although there was a new master, and Sophia also changed from mistress to head maid, no maid dared to look down on her.
Why?
Because Sophia is beautiful, and little Guiwenier is beautiful too.
This is the advantage.
Who knows if they will become masters again.
Sophia entered her daughter's room carrying two pieces of pastry.
Xiao Guiwenil picked up a piece of pastry and bit it gently. Then she pointed to another piece of pastry and said, "Mom, eat it too."
Sophia shook her head: "Mom, there are still things to do, so you can eat it."
After that, she Then he left the room and came to the study.
There were faint voices inside. Sophia waited for a while. After a soldier still wearing armor came out, she knocked lightly on the door.
"Come in." The young man's voice sounded.
From Sophia's point of view, the boy's voice was very nice.
It seems very gentle, but also very powerful.
Sophia walked in and saw the boy reading a book.
It was my husband's former official business notebook, which contained many nasty stories about local minor nobles and wealthy businessmen.
The young man looked at it and smiled.
Sophia seemed to see her husband... He also smiled like this when he looked at the booklet.
But there is a difference.
My husband is not that young, nor is he that handsome.
"What's the matter?" Hardy looked up and asked.
Sophia lowered her head and said, "I want to know the master's eating habits. What does he like to eat and what doesn't he like to eat?"
"I like vegetables and meat, but I don't like cheese." Hardy thought for a while and continued: "I don't like mummies either. I know there are a lot of mummies here in Ajiaka, please don’t let these things into your home in the future.”
Ajiaka imitated Francie in almost everything, and they were even crazier than Francie in eating mummies.
There has even been a process and profit chain for making fake mummies.
Sophia took note of it and was about to leave.
"Wait!" Hardy suddenly called her.
A sudden thought occurred in Sophia's heart. She knew very well that her appearance was extraordinary, and she was afraid that what she was always worried about would happen.
Hardy looked at her and asked, "I was looking at this booklet just now. It records the tax changes in recent years."
Sophia looked at Hardy blankly.
Hardy continued to ask: "But in the past two years, tax revenue has dropped sharply. Do you know the reason?"
Don't you want that for yourself?
Sophia was stunned for a while, then she understood what Hardy meant and shook her head. The two groups of fruits also swayed gently from side to side.
Hardy frowned slightly, sighed softly, and said, "Then go and do your work."
Sophia walked out of the room.
Then she felt something was wrong. Was she disliked just now?
What a nasty boy.
An unpleasant situation arises in my mind.
Hardy actually didn't think that much.
He shook his head, not at Sophia, but at the record in the book.
He actually already knows why the tax revenue here has dropped so seriously in the past two years.
From what I saw and heard after entering the city, and then seeing this booklet, how could I not know what was going on.
Then, he called his adjutant with a golden bell and said: "Roger, you divide the knights into ten teams to maintain law and order on the streets. As long as someone is robbing and causing trouble, no matter what color or race, they will be arrested. If you dare Resist and kill on the spot."
The last time he returned to Hukaro City, he brought Rogg out after leaving the main affairs to the players.
Roger nodded.
Hardy thought for a while and said: "Send a few more people to Louisian County to report the news, and ask Simon to bring a thousand infantrymen and come over within a month. Do you understand?"
Soon, Rogge went out to do things.
Hardy looked at the booklet again and shook his head vigorously.
"A good city of commerce and sea trade has been turned into such a horrible state."
Hadi clicked his tongue twice, put the book back to its original place, and went back to his room to sleep.
He is sleeping in the guest room now. After all, the master bedroom is still for the mother and daughter.
When he woke up, he was eating breakfast in the main hall, and then Roger walked in. He looked a little embarrassed and seemed to feel guilty. He hesitated for a while and then said: "Master, we have encountered some trouble."
"What trouble?"
"There are too many prisoners." Rogge said helplessly: "The prison can't accommodate it."
Hardy didn't find it strange. Rather, it was in line with his guess.
"How much more."
"Five more prisons of the same size can't fit in."
Hardy chuckled twice, and then said: "Wait until I finish breakfast, then go over and take a look."
Soon, Hardy Finished breakfast.
As soon as she stood up, Sophia walked up and asked softly: "Master, when will you come back, so that we can prepare delicious food in advance." "
It's hard to say, you can eat it yourself when the time comes."
Hardy replied casually, and then Then he took Rogge and left first.
Sophia stood there in her maid uniform, a little at a loss.
As for Hardy, when he followed Rogge to the outside of the prison, he smelled a stench before he even got close.
Then Ha saw a dense mass of gray orcs kneeling outside the prison.
They put their hands behind their heads and looked scared.
There are hundreds of silver-winged knights patrolling around. If any gray orc dares to move, they will not be hit with a scabbard.
When Hardy came here, he couldn't help but sigh: "You have arrested too many people."
Rogge looked more and more helpless: "We just arrested a wave of robbers, and we haven't even taken them to prison yet. We met again." Go to another wave and repeat. If you can’t catch them all, you can’t catch them no matter what.”
“This is not surprising. This is what the gray orcs would be like if they didn’t have high-intensity management.” Hardy smiled and said, “Let people Go set up a stage, and I will announce something to them later."
Rogge asked curiously: "Your Excellency, you want to reason with them? To influence them?"
"Only fools do that kind of thing." Hardy said with a smile: " I just told them that because they committed a crime, they now have to undergo labor reform to wash away their sins."
