Chapter 13 Father's Love
"This, this..."
Xiu Ke's sudden idea surprised Xiu Yin very much. This kind of bold idea made Xiu Yin feel a little overwhelmed, "Uh, father, I think it's better to think about this matter. In addition, they will buy the entire mine. Whether there are new minerals in it is also uncertain."
"Ahem, let Reiner, who is in charge of the mine, investigate further..."
Xiu Ke felt that he had talked too much today, so he asked Xiu Yin to work hard to cultivate his spiritual power and strive to become a formal mage as soon as possible, then went back to his room to rest.
"This month's song, there must be something in the mine that attracts them, so they want to buy the entire mine..."
After closing the door of his own room, Xiu Yin leaned against the door and thought about Yuege's sudden visit, especially his father's words about giving half of the income from selling the mine to himself, which made Xiu Yin's heart tremble at this moment. Can't calm down.
"At least a few hundred gold coins can be distributed!"
Xiu Yin's heart was beating extremely fast. The money might not be a big deal to Shu Ke, but to Xiu Yin who had just arrived in the new world, it was an astronomical figure, like the expenses of an ordinary family here in Lexingburg A year is only a few gold coins, which is still a very good standard of living in Lexingburg.
Even in "his" eyes, the money can buy a high-quality staff or a dozen hardcover books about magic!
Shuyin really wanted to persuade Shuke to sell the mine. If he did so, if he failed in the battle to inherit the title in the future, at least he would have enough money to live comfortably.
But Xiu Yin thought about it again, "But if I win the inheritance struggle, wouldn't Lin Ke give away hundreds of gold coins?"
Shu Yin shook his head vigorously, he was really not good at continuing to think about such black-bellied things.
"It all depends on my father's wishes..."
In the early morning of the next day, when the news of a troop of soldiers stationed in Lexingburg was reported to Baron Shuke, Huin's father was in a daze, "Is it the cavalry?"
"It's not the cavalry, it's Captain Cassel's infantry regiment, and it is estimated that he will come to meet the adults soon." Bill, who had already seen that group of soldiers, said.
"The letter about Moon Song was sent to Desolate Bone City yesterday. How could the infantry arrive so quickly? Unless..." Shuke became a little nervous. The only possibility was that this group of soldiers set off early.
"Honorable Lord Baron, under the order of Lord Fell, I led thirty-four soldiers to assist Lexingburg in destroying and defending against the monsters that invaded here."
When Cassel stood in front of the baron to explain his intentions, Shuk said, "Captain Cassel has really worked hard for you, Bill, you assisted Cassel to settle down in the old camp next to the town!"
"Yes, Lord Baron!" Bill led Cassel towards the outside of the mansion.
But before leaving, Cassel turned around and added, "By the way, Earl Fell's order is urgent, so we didn't prepare enough food when we left, so I have to thank you for the supplies these days!"
"Don't worry Captain Kassel!"
Shuke almost gritted his teeth and maintained a calm face when he said these words. When Cassel and Bill walked out of the mansion together, Shuk slammed his fist on the table hard.
There was a "bang" sound, which also shook the vase on the table a few times.
"Father, what happened?"
Shu Yin saw a lot of armored soldiers outside, and when he wanted to ask his father what happened, he just heard the sound of Shu Ke's punch.
"I didn't expect that the news of the monsters in Lexingburg would be known to Bone City. These soldiers were sent by Earl Fell!" Shuke said angrily, "Earl Fell is completely bullying others. , This is blatant robbery, how much do these soldiers spend a day here? I’m not going to pay for it all!”
Xiuyin suddenly realized. At that time, he still wondered why his father was particularly afraid of the news of the monsters being leaked. It turned out that Desolate Bone City could save a fortune on supporting soldiers by this matter.
The property that the Neumann family obtained from the territory was not much, and now suddenly there are so many soldiers to support. Xiu therefore found that it is not easy to be a baron, and even started to want to inherit the title. Is it really okay? ?
At this time, Shuke said with a decided tone, "It seems that the mine must be sold!"
"Father?" Xiuyin actually wanted to persuade him, because the Lessing Mine is the only mineral resource of the Neumann family.
"Don't persuade me, there is no other way. If you don't sell the mine for some gold coins, what will you do to support these soldiers? Well, I really hope that you and Lin Ke will grow up quickly."
At this moment, Xiu Yin suddenly found that his father seemed to be much older. Although he was not his real father, in this new world, those who really cared about him knew him and Ianna.
"I'll send someone to contact Field of Moonsong, Xiu Yin, you go too, and you and the person in charge of the mine, Lena, will estimate how much of the remaining minerals are left."
Since Xiu Yin killed two sharp-horned demon wolves in the mining area and his soul power reached level 2, Shu Ke's attitude towards Xiu Yin has also changed a lot, and the family affairs have also gradually involved Xiu Yin, which was previously a Absolutely nothing happened, Lin Ke was always the one who had the opportunity to participate in these things.
Xiu Ke looked at Xiu Yin with anticipation and shame, "Go, Xiu Yin, father believes in your ability, but it's just that he has neglected the cultivation of you two brothers these years..."
"Father, do you really want to sell some mines?" Xiu Yin, who had already stood up and was about to set off, asked his father again.
Shuyin suddenly came up with a bold idea before going to bed last night. When he saw Shuke's eyes today, he knew that Shuke would definitely agree, because his father still loves his children.
"Xiu Yin, you know, the family's income is not much, these soldiers from Desolate Bone City stay for a month, it is not enough to have dozens of gold coins, they will not understand brevity here."
Xiu Xin nodded, he knew all this, he also knew about the old camp next to the town, there was almost nothing there, these soldiers would definitely have to buy new tents and daily necessities when they came, and there were also a lot of soldiers for the soldiers Bow and arrow weapons are provided for training, these are expensive expenses.
His father, Shuk, is a good baron. In the nearly twenty years since he took over Lexingburg, he has never squeezed a single copper coin from the residents, and the tax rate is very low. At the same time, he is also the one who started construction on the almost abandoned Laixing mining area. Speaking of it, although the output of ore is already extremely low, at least it has injected some vitality into Lexingburg.
Shuyin does not belong to this world. To be serious, Shuke is not his real father, but Xiuyin is a person who knows how to be grateful. The way Shuke looks at him is similar to the way parents in the original world gave their all for his left eye. Family property is the same, it is the love of parents for their children.
That's why Xiu Yin is willing to inherit the name of the Neumann family, and is also willing to contribute some strength to the future of the family.
So Xiu Yin clenched his fists, and this was the first time "he" said to the baron in a neither humble nor overbearing way, "Father, I have an idea, that is, to sell only half of the property rights of the mine, and please leave the other half to me to manage !"
