LIGHTNOVELSTORY Chapter 13: Chapter 13
"Don't worry! These items will only be used inside the castle." Lucas said with a light smile. Everything he brought from Earth would be used internally first.
The ones that would be disclosed are simplified versions. For example, he planned to make paper and the paper wouldn't be very white and sturdy.
But once it is released, Lucas believes that there would be a lot of demand and the implementation of all this work would require a lot of manpower.
"That's good!" Mina breathed a sigh of relief. She took the contract and looked at it. She was half astonished when she saw it. "What? Monthly salary will be 1 silver coin and can rest four days a month which includes food and housing and small gifts on holidays???"
"Yes!" Lucas nodded. He copied some of the corporate contracts of the Earth and revised it to make the other world version of the contract.
Mina put down the contract. Her face was serious and her violet eyes were full of sharpness. She stretched out her hand to smack the contract, and shouted, "Lord Lucas!!! You are profligating! For someone like me, a monthly salary of 200 copper coins is enough. There's also 5 military knives. One knife is worth plenty of gold coins. It's even fine to not give a salary. Just provide food and housing and of course there must be polished rice porridge.
"Also, vacation and whatever is unnecessary. Wherever you go, I must follow, it's my duty. Small gifts are acceptable…"
Mina pointed to the terms on the contract and talked through them one by one, just like a housekeeper.
Lucas raised his eyebrows and stretched out his hand to hold down the worked up catgirl. He smiled, "This kind of contract is only available to my own people!"
"E…" Mina's face instantly became red. Her ears fell straight down and her tail rolled up. She had been picked up.
"What… what… I… I'll just sign it." Mina stammered with a red face.
"Let's go and eat breakfast first. There are still many things to do today." Lucas looked at Mina who signed her name on the contract. He put the contract in a large safe and gave Mina one of the keys.
"Okay!" Mina took the key and put it on her neck.
She had looked at the safe. There were many documents and important items in the safe.
...
Meanwhile, outside the city gate, a family of six strong men and two women came in.
This is the Ben family, whom Lucas had told Max yesterday to contact them. So their family came before the sun even rose.
Max left yesterday evening, then he stayed in Ben's house, and accompanied them to the city this morning.
Ben was an uncle in his forties with neatly trimmed hair, a serious face full of toughness and solemnity and he wore a linen coat.
He was sitting in the bullock cart. Chatting with Max and heartedly laughed from time to time.
"Ben, your family is going to be lucky. I didn't expect you to know Lord Lucas." Max said with envy.
He knew that the Ben family was very powerful. They were a well-known family in this territory. All of them were good people. It was said that Ben was a real knight back in his youth days.
"We met him by chance but I didn't expect that Lucas would become a noble." Ben grinned. He also didn't expect that the young man he saved by chance would become a noble.
"Hey… I knew that Lucas wasn't simple when I first saw him. Which's family's kid could grow so white clean in this western land? He is even well mannered, just like a noble; his ancestor must also be a noble." The middle-aged woman sitting on the side said loudly. She was Ben's wife, May.
After saying that, she looked at her 5 sons, all of whom were full of muscles, not a bit like an educated person.
"Cough cough…" Ben was a little embarrassed. He knew that his wife liked delicate people, but he didn't expect that all his sons would grow like him.
Fortunately, his daughter was like her mother. He looked at the gentle and well-behaved daughter, who was sitting on the bullock cart while hugging her legs and in a trance.
"Nicole, what are you thinking about?" Ben asked gently. Everything about his little daughter was good. Her only problem was that she was too quiet.
"She must be thinking of Lucas." A strong male voice came from the side. It was Ben's eldest son, Aiden, who was currently carrying a wolf. It was what he had hunted last night to give Lucas as a gift.
"No, no…" Nicole blushed and waved her hands in a panic, like a little girl who had been caught stealing candy. Nicole was a seventeen-year-old girl and the jewel of the Ben family. She was very delicate and had long flax hair.
"Ha ha ha… What are you afraid of, it's fine if you think about him." May smiled happily. She hugged Nicole and said, "Nicole, when the time is right you'll marry Lucas. I think he likes you too."
"Ah???" Nicole's face was red, and her eyes were almost spiraling, and she buried her head into May's embrace.
"You actually got shy, that's not good," May teased.
Ben shook his head. His wife just loves to tease her children. She didn't even realize that her sons' movements had slowed.
"Ben, Lord Lucas must be inviting you to become knight. This is your chance." Max patted Ben's back. But when he looked at Ben's missing right leg. He sighed, "If only your right leg didn't cut when you were knight. With your ability, you would probably have already become a noble."
"Ha ha ha… I've already forgotten about it, now is the time of the young people." Ben laughed. He looked at his sons with pride in his eyes. He raised them to be powerful person.
