Chapter 19 Visiting Parents
Edward's domineering words made Howard speechless.
yes! He is the owner of the manor. If he loses money, why should I worry about it here? Isn't this a good man for nothing?
Butler Howard thought for a while, and finally stopped what he was going to say, feeling a little unhappy in his heart, bored beside Edward, staring straight at Edward, without saying a word!
"Please! Howard, I am confident, you have to trust me!" Edward couldn't stand being stared at by the housekeeper.
If a beautiful woman is okay, but when an adult man in his thirties looks at you with sad eyes, you will feel like a **** dog.
Edward understands Howard's mood quite well. It's like a person who usually seems to know nothing, suddenly one day said to an English teacher that you don't want to teach, let me do it, I can teach better than you.
When the teacher wanted to resist, he said that the whole school is mine, you don't want bb.
Then, that teacher's mood is exactly how Butler Howard feels at this moment.
If he replaced it with his body, Edward would probably have scolded him hundreds of times in his stomach.
However, Edward also has his own difficulties. If there is no need for power, how many people will listen to his explanation and do what they think is wrong without hesitation? It is better not to explain than to explain!
"My dear butler, don't worry!" Edward comforted the whining butler Howard, "Now the royal family has a new source of income, the lovely gold coins have filled the granary, and now our food is gone! "
Edward's exaggerated words did not make the butler laugh, but made his brows wrinkle even more!
How did Edward know that Howard was not actually worried about the loss of the manor's grain. The entire royal family didn't know how much land was planted with grain, and there would be no shortage of grain from this manor.
Instead, he was worried that Edward would destroy his carefully planned manor development plan, just like destroying the snowmen piled up by children, it was full of his hard work!
Edward seized the time to take a break while speaking, allowing his overwhelmed body to take a breath.
Holding on to his desire to rest, Edward slowly came to the field ridge, looked at the fallow land and said, "My dear housekeeper, don't you think it's a waste to harvest such a large land with only these grains? "
"My respected Majesty the King, are you doubting my management level?" Howard suddenly raised his voice, with some anger in his voice, and an indescribable expression on his face.
"No! No! No! I don't have any doubts about your management level!" Edward was very calm and unmoved by the butler's rhetorical question.
"I'm just worried about the current grain production!" Edward said suddenly with a hint of sentimentality.
"Your Majesty the King! I don't know what caused your worry!" Howard quickly calmed down the fluctuations in his heart, his voice became peaceful at night, and he offered his loyalty in a timely manner, and there was a trace of excitement in his words.
"If there is something that needs me to do, I am willing to serve you! Your Majesty the King!"
"Oh! Howard, your loyalty has made the sun in the sky lose its light!" Edward's praise sounded at the right time, praising the butler's loyal heart. Although I don't know if it's true or not.
"But please tell me how many families and children there are in the manor!" In fact, Howard has already said it once, but he will do it again under the circumstances.
"Yes! Your Majesty the King!" Butler Howard once again returned to his rigorous appearance.
"There are 18 families in our manor, 17 unmarried boys and girls, and 56 children who have not yet been able to support themselves!"
"Then there are almost three children per household?" "Yes, Your Majesty!"
"Then you are telling me the population of the entire Windsor Manor ten years ago!"
"Well... there are about 60 people!" The butler pondered for a while, and then said a vague number.
"Howard, think about it, the population of the manor has almost doubled in ten years, so what about the whole of England?" Edward said this, with a hint of excitement in his tone.
"The population has doubled, but the land and yield per mu have not increased much, so the price of food will skyrocket!"
"Think about how big a business opportunity this is! If I use my method, our land will increase by five layers per mu. How much income will this bring to the royal family!"
Edward's words successfully brought Howard Butler into the fantasy stage.
I have 50 acres of land. If I add five floors per acre, at a price of 1.5p per pound, I can bring in an extra income of almost 50 pounds a year!
The power of money also moved the strict housekeeper Howard, and he began to cooperate with Edward seriously.
At this time, among the thatched houses where the serfs lived in the manor, a house that looked cleaner and tidy than the surrounding mud houses was full of people coming and going.
Little Jack happily held the bird eggs he had just picked out from the tree, looking forward to eating delicious boiled eggs with his five-year-old brother Laimie at night, and happily walked towards his home with his short legs run away.
"Jack! Go back quickly, your sister has returned home from the palace!" On the way, little Jack ran into his neighbor's partner Mir, and he explained to Jack while dragging Jack to the direction of Jack's house.
"Hey! Mir, let's see if you can run past me!" Jack knew that after his sisters came back, he couldn't bear Mir's slow speed, so he hurriedly broke away from Mir's hand.
"Jack, Jack! Who in the entire Windsor Manor doesn't know your monkey—Jack, who can outrun you!" Mill followed Jack panting, and said helplessly behind.
Within a short while, Jack saw dozens of adults surrounded by the door of his house. They were whispering and chatting about some happy topics, showing some happy and envious expressions from time to time.
"Ah! Let's see who's back!" People seem to have seen him, and they all rushed towards him, and surrounded Jack in the center of the crowd.
"Jack, don't forget Uncle Rick in the future!" "Don't forget Aunt Bella!"...
Suddenly, a sound of pleading surrounded Jack, and little Jack was completely dizzy.
Jack disregarded everyone's compliments, hurriedly left the crowd and walked into his home.
As soon as I opened the door, I saw two teenage girls in bright clothes chatting happily with their parents.
"It's Jack, come here!" Seeing that little Jack seemed a little embarrassed, Luna summoned the wandering Jack.
Jack walked slowly to his younger brother, looking at his two older sisters shyly.
