The danger is in the forest?


    There is also some truth to say. The forest is vast and basically in an unprotected state, and it is connected to half of the hillside. There must be many wild animals. If there are thieves sneaking in, it is difficult to detect. Even mountain bandits may raid from here.


    However, the danger is not so serious. Although Manda has only a dozen people, it''s no problem to deal with hundreds of mountain bandits as long as he doesn''t meet high-level believers.


    But it''s also necessary to be on guard. Let Ogg stay in the forest first. Once he finds the enemy, even if he can''t fight, he can at least send the news. As for how to set up defense in the future, Manda can''t think of a good way. He has no experience in managing a manor in both his previous life and this life.


    By the way, grandpa used to do this? If you don''t understand, you can learn. Let Silva go to the old Cantor for advice first.


    After simply packing up their things, they slept in the house all night. The next day, Silva came to the market and asked old Cantor''s residence from the merchant''s mouth.


    Old Cantor had a big house in the town. Silva ate cakes in the lobby for a long time and didn''t see Cantor ray until afternoon.


    Seeing Silva change into a brand-new robe, Cantor also saw his identity.


    "You should be Mr. munchke''s housekeeper. What can I do for you?"


    Silva didn''t know much about the aristocratic etiquette. He wanted to maintain a humble attitude and was afraid to break Manda''s identity. He exchanged a few difficult greetings with Cantor. Silva explained his intention.


    He first said something about the forest. Cantor smiled: "Mr. munchke is worried too much. This is Niujiao Town, not a barren mountain and wild land. How can mountain bandits have the courage to attack the Viscount''s territory?"


    "Even if there are no mountain bandits, you have to beware of thieves. I want to hire a guard for adults."


    Cantor sank his face and said, "is that what Mr. munchke means?"


    Silva waved his hand again and again and said, "this is my idea. I haven''t discussed it with the master."


    "This is even more inappropriate. As a rich family housekeeper, you should at least understand the law. Not to mention that Mr. munchke has no title, even Lord Pedros has no right to form a guard. As Mr. munchke, you can hire up to ten guards, and you need the permission of the viscount."


    "Ten guards should be enough." although the manor is large, Silva couldn''t help feeling sorry for Manda when he remembered the expenses of these guards.


    "You need to submit a document to the viscount. After getting permission, you can hire guards in the market. Is there anything else?"


    Silva took a deep breath, and the next questions would hurt his self-esteem, but even if he was timid in front of Cantor, there would be many mistakes in the future. Silva clenched his teeth, presented two cans of good wine and raised his more concerned questions.


    "We have more than a dozen people now, and only five can really work. This includes the Lord''s personal maid. The rest are the Lord''s friends. Do you have to hire more people to take care of such a large manor?"


    Hearing this question, old Cantor was sure that the new housekeeper was a complete layman.


    He is not only a layman''s housekeeper, but also a layman in some secret fields. In his words just now, Cantor has got a lot of important information.


    Without the slightest disdain, he patiently explained to Silva:


    "Not to mention five people, even fifty people can''t support such a large manor. First of all, you have to hire a group of Li farmers. You can''t let the manor''s fields idle. Do you want Mr. munchke to buy food in the market? It''s a great shame for the nobles. You can see that the field is not small and needs at least 20 Li farmers to take care of it.


    One personal maid is not enough. At least four maids and four male servants are needed to take care of Mr. munchke''s daily life. You also need to hire at least ten cleaning women, five washing women, four chefs, four gardeners, two blacksmiths and two carpenters. If munchke has a hobby of hunting, at least one cobbler should be equipped. There are white eyed foxes and iron teeth in the forest of the manor Giant bears come and go. Their fur is very precious.


    Besides, whether Mr. munchke likes to drink or not, at least hire a winemaker. Otherwise, what do you entertain guests? Do you buy those unbearable ale from the market?


    You have many carriages. Each carriage should be equipped with at least one coachman. It''s best to hire two more people to take care of the animals. The house is broken and needs to be repaired. Useless things need to be cleaned up. There are always endless chores in the manor, and at least 20 chores are needed... "


    After listening to old Cantor''s introduction, Silva only felt his head buzzing. According to him, Manda had to hire at least 80 people. Each person had five silver coins a month, which added up to four gold coins, not counting their food and drink expenses.


    In the past, when I opened a tavern, I could only earn two or three gold coins a month. Now I have to take out four gold coins to hire a servant?


    I can''t bear it. I can''t bear it!


    I''m the housekeeper of the manor. I have to save all the places for the master. The wine maker doesn''t need to be hired. The wine of worm is so delicious. Can you use others?


    Carpenters and blacksmiths don''t need it. Guatel is a God''s family, and "poet" is a third-class craftsman. Who can use it better than them?


    Handyman, gardener, cleaning woman, washerwoman, cook... Let Helena do all these things. She used to spoil her so much that she had to learn quickly.


    As for the coachman and guard, we can''t save this. We''ll discuss it with the master again.


    ……


    Silva left with great anxiety. Cantor immediately went to the Viscount castle. He had important news to report to Sorens.


    "Craig munchke was not born into a noble family, and his housekeeper knew nothing about noble life.


    He brought more than a dozen people. There should be five white ducks. The others should be believers of ancient gods.


    He''s going to hire some people. He wants to take care of the manor. "


    "He wants to go through the day? I can''t figure it out. I thought he just wanted to spy on me like old Arman," Sauron thought for a moment and smiled. "Since he wants to hire people, we''ll send him some slaves. There''s no cheaper hand than this."


    ……


    Manda gave Kunta an ancient book obtained from the underground palace. When Kunta read the name of the book, Manda was shocked and couldn''t return to God for a long time.


    "This is the book of the priests, written in ancient Aramaic." Kunta''s voice trembled.


    "You mean that after learning the knowledge in this book, you can distinguish a person''s life God like a count?"


    Manda shook her head and said, "unlike the count, the count''s method is a kind of blood witchcraft. He judges the God by tasting the taste of blood. 60% of them are sure to guess right, but 40% of them may guess wrong."


    "What about this book?"


    Kunta said, "what is recorded in this book is another way to listen to the voice of the gods through sacrifice, so as to judge a person''s original God."


    Manda said, "how sure are you?"


    "Don''t guess, don''t be sure," Kunta shook her head. "There''s no possibility of guessing wrong."
