Before entering the living room, Pris was searched again.This time the body search is much more detailed, from top to bottom, every place where a knife or dagger can be hidden has been touched, and even the sole of the shoe has not been let go.

Then in the hall he met the four princes of Fort Grey, the defeated of the Duke's coalition, the lord of the border town, and the new West, Roland Wimbledon.

The prince has long gray hair, which symbolizes the blood of the royal family, and his face looks very young, at most he is in his twenties.He did not wear hair or wear any crown.The finger holding the quill pen was slender, too, and in his hand he could not see a jewel ring or ring, not even a bracelet, which was very rare among the nobles.

"Pryce Deiss, the Count of Elk's Knight?"Roland leaned back in his chair and looked over at the list in his hand.

“Yes, Your Highness.”Priss got down on one knee.

It was hard for him to believe that such a man with a beard could not even see, leading a group of miners and hunters to defeat the long-simmering Duke of Lane.

“Do you read?Read and write?Stand up and answer.”

"I will, my lord, this is the most basic requirement of a knight," said Pres, standing up, and suddenly thinking that some of the old knights had not yet popularized the ash castle when they were canonized, and added, "I mean, a new group of knights."

In the past three decades, fewer knights have been canonized by force and war, and other considerations have increased.If you can't write and read the official document, it is difficult to be looked at by the lord.And like the knight of the royal city, the rise of outstanding young people such as the dawn of the west, is to put the knight's requirements to a new height.

So now become a trainee knight, the first thing to learn is to read and read, the level is higher, all kinds of etiquette also need to be proficient.

But Pris doesn’t understand why His Highness should ask himself this question.

"Very well," said the prince, nod, "then I will pronounce myself now."

The words made him hold his breath for an instant.

"You have two choices, one is to go to the North Slope mine for 20 years to redeem your sins, and the other is to become a teacher and teach my people to read and write."Miners are not slaves, they are also paid, and they can rest for three days a month.Teachers not only have pay, but also free housing, and can rest for two days a week.But if you choose the latter, you must work until you are 50 years old to give up this position.Rest assured, even if you don't, your salary will be paid as usual."

After listening, Pris was a little relieved, and as he had expected, he was not put to death or exile.But these two options puzzled him, the miners sounded like a hard hand, but His Highness said there was also salary and ... vacation?Is it not only a teacher who is knowledgeable?He can only read and write.And what does it mean to teach the people, His Highness, who wants to cultivate these people as nobles?

Crucially, neither of them mentioned what to do with their territory.

Pris looked up at the prince and asked cautiously, “Your Highness, I don’t know that after I choose one of the two, my territory will...”

"From the moment you raised your sword to me, your territory is no longer yours," Roland said unceremoniously; "in this regard, I have made an agreement with the heirs of the elk family that he will convert your estate into gold dragons, and after you have made your choice, the new count will send compensation with your family to the border town, so that he can empty a new place to recruit knights."

Priss's heart sank, and he had nothing but a house in his territory, a flock of chickens and ducks, and how much was it worth to compensate for it?The new count will surely cut another knife on it... and it will be hard to say if there are thirty golden dragons.The count had just died, and his heirs had abandoned himself in this way, and this ruthlessness disappointed Price.

“As an accomplice of the rebels, this is a very minor sentence.”Roland paused, “Moreover, what is so sorry about a bare territory?”Whether you choose to go down the mine or as a teacher, you can save the honorarium for buying land in the border town.”

Hearing this sentence, Pris regained a little spirit, and he certainly would not consider mining the lower mine, as for another option... "Your Highness, I don't know what the salary of the teacher is?"

"In the words of the junior teacher, 20 silver wolves a month, five more a year, until the age of fifty.Remuneration after the age of 50 is calculated at the maximum value of the increase.By the way, the right cannot be inherited or transferable.”

Pris calculated a little, found that there are nearly three golden dragons a year, and can increase year by year, as long as four or five years, almost can catch up with the revenue of their own territory.“Your Highness, what does the primary teacher mean... are there other categories of teachers?”

“Of course there is.Primary teachers only teach reading and writing, and intermediate and senior teachers teach knowledge in various disciplines, all-encompassing.As long as you have a life that is good for the development of the border town, you can take up it.”Roland sat up straight, “Why, do you have any good skills?”I don't need horseback riding or swordsmanship."

But I’m not good at it, Pris thought.He hesitated, then said, “Your Highness, raise chickens and ducks?”I fish too.”As soon as he said that he regretted it, what skill it was, and he could live by throwing them in the wild, and there were many cats and birds in the nobles, and no one had ever specifically raised this thing.As for fishing... this is like hunting, it can only be a personal love.

I didn’t expect His Highness to be interested in the first half of the sentence, “Oh?How to raise it, listen to it."

Pris had to scalp and scalp down and said: "Well, according to my experience in the territory, compared to full-scale, to feed some grains every day, they can grow faster, and if the grain is doped with sand, the effect can save food."It is best to set up a shed in a ventilated place to shade, prevent rain and avoid the cold.Especially in the summer heat, if there is no shed, the hens are likely to stop laying eggs.Put straw in the winter to prevent the chickens from freezing to death.In addition, if you feed some small fish every month, the chicken flock will rarely get sick, of course, the cleaning of chicken manure is also very important.

At the end of the day, he found the prince laughing."Yes, it seems that the nobles of the West are not useless."

“Your Highness?”Priscilla could not grasp the meaning of the other's words.

Fortunately, Roland Wimbledon quickly relieved his concern, "I will send someone to buy a batch of chicken ducks from the long song fortress, and at the same time row a piece of land to you west of the border, you will raise these poultry."If you do well, teach the feeding method.The salary is calculated according to the middle-level teacher, starting with 50 silver wolves per month in the first year, an increase of 10 pieces per year.Of course, if it fails, the North Slope mine is your only option."(Not finished.If you like this work, you are welcome to start the project, and your support is my biggest motivation.
