Chapter 272 They need reform through labor
In the end, the Tacoma mother and daughter stayed.
Sofia became Hardy's head maid.
They still live in the same room. The layout of the largest room 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.
Gui Weinier 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 only I can eat two pieces.”
Sofia said softly, but she felt like crying in her 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 said she wanted to get some pastries, and the maid next to her immediately brought them out for her.
These maids are all from the original batch. Although there is a new master, Sophia has also changed from the mistress to the head maid, but no maid dares 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 Gui Weinier picked up a piece of pastry and bit it gently, then she pointed at another piece of pastry and said: "Mom eats it too."
Sophia shook her head: "Mom still has things to do, you can eat."
After that, she 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 gently.
"Come in." The young man's voice sounded.
From Sophia's point of view, the boy's voice is very nice.
It seems very gentle, but also very powerful.
Sofia walked in and saw the boy reading a booklet.
It was my husband’s old official notebook, which contained many nasty stories about local minor nobles and wealthy businessmen.
The boy smiled while watching.
Sofia seemed to see her husband... Her husband used to smile 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.
Sofia lowered her head and said: "I want to know the master's eating habits, what he likes to eat and what he doesn't like to eat?"
"I like vegetables and meat, but I don't like cheese." Hardy thought. After thinking for a while, he continued: "I don't like mummies either. I know there are many mummies here in Aijaka. Don't let such things into your home in the future."
Ajiaka imitates Francie in almost everything. They eat mummies even crazier than Francie.
There has even been a process and profit chain for making fake mummies.
Sophia wrote it down and was about to leave.
"Wait!" Hardy suddenly called her.
Sofia had a sudden thought. She knew very well that her appearance was extraordinary, and she was afraid that the thing she was always worried about would happen.
Hardy looked at her and asked: "I was looking at this booklet just now, which records the tax changes in recent years."
Sofia 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?
Sofia was stunned for a while, then she understood what Hardy meant and shook her head. The two groups of fruit also swayed gently from side to side.
Hardy frowned slightly, sighed softly, and said, "Then go and do your work."
Sofia 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 booklet.
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 them on the spot.”
The last time he returned to Hukaro City, he took Rogg out after leaving all the major 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 infantry and arrive within a month. Do you understand?"
< br>Soon, Roger went out to do errands.
Hardy looked at the booklet again and shook his head vigorously.
“A good commercial city, a sea trade city, has been turned into such a horrible state.”
After Hardy clicked his tongue twice, he put the book back to its original place, and Went back to the 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 Rogge came 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's the trouble?"
"There are too many prisoners." Rogge said helplessly: "The prison can't accommodate it."
Hardy didn't find it strange, rather, it suited him. speculation.
“How much more.”
“Five more prisons of the same size cannot fit in.”
Hardy chuckled twice, and then said: "Wait until I finish breakfast, then go over and have a look."
Soon, Hardy finished his breakfast.
As soon as she stood up, Sophia walked up and asked softly: "Master, when will you come back, so that we can prepare the delicious food in advance."
"It's hard to say. Eat.”
Hardy replied casually, and then left with Rogge.
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, looking very 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."
Roger's expression became more and more helpless: "We have just arrested a wave of robbers, and we haven't taken them into custody yet." When we got to the prison, we encountered another wave. They couldn’t catch them all over and over again.”
“This is not surprising. This is what happens if the gray orcs don’t have high-intensity management. "Hardy smiled and said, Said: "Let people set up a platform. I will announce something to them later."
Roger asked curiously: "Your Excellency, you want to reason with them? To influence them?"
< br>“Only fools do that kind of thing.” Hadi said with a smile: “I just told them that because they committed a crime, now they have to undergo labor reform to wash away their sins.”
