C1717 Embezzlement

Very soon, things were settled in Butler, Xu Tianyu and the others also ate hot food.2

After Xu Tianyu was full, the Butler did not leave and waited.

"What's the matter?" Xu Tianyu asked.

"Master, it's just a small matter. The wheat grown in the fields around the manor has already been harvested. Those farmers asked if we should continue growing more wheat."

"How many fields do we still have left? How many farmers are there? How are the farmers treated? How are the wheat harvests?"

Xu Tianyu asked instead of answering.

Butler wiped away the cold sweat on his forehead and said: "The manor s only use less than half of the field outside, because they lack farmers, and Baron Brighton did not need to plant that many fields before as well. and the rest of the fields are in a state of disuse. "

"Because our fields are not very high quality, and the weather is not very good this year, so the harvest of all the wheat is also not very good. Each field is only around 500 kg of wheat."

"What, harvest so little?" Xu Tianyu was a bit surprised. He had seen the field before when he came over.

The length and width of the fields were around 100 meters, so under the influence of the climate, 1000 kilograms should not be a problem. If the harvest was good, 5000 kilograms should not be a problem.

But now, Butler only said 500 kg of it, this was too little.

Hearing Xu Tianyu's tone, Butler quickly kneeled down, "Lord, it's those lowly commoners who don't work hard. That's why the production is so low. I will punish them severely when I go back."

Xu Tianyu looked at Butler meaningfully, "How was the treatment of the farmers before?"

"Master, they have to hand over ninety percent of the food produced in each field to the manor."

"No wonder." Xu Tianyu understood, a total of 90% of the income, leaving only 10% for the farmers, they might not even be able to fill their stomachs, if they were serious about helping you work, that would be weird.

"Butler, you go gather those farmers, I need to go see them. Oh right, did you send the gold I told you to pay?"

With Xu Tianyu's question, the cold sweat on Butler's forehead increased.

"Master, I haven't paid them the gold coins yet. I want to see if anyone wants to leave before I send them the gold coins. So the gold coins are still with me."

"Haha …"

Xu Tianyu sneered. Banbil, who was beside him, felt Xu Tianyu's intentions and directly captured Butler, then dragged him outside.

"Master, listen to my explanation. I really don't have any intention of taking it for myself. Even if you give me a hundred times the guts, I wouldn't dare to do so."

The Butler pleaded, but Xu Tianyu did not budge. He followed and walked out towards the farmland.

He had made it clear that he would give five hundred gold coins to the farmers. The remaining gold coins belonged to Butler, and if Butler wanted to obtain more gold coins, he would have to drive the others away.

Xu Tianyu also knew that he had done something stupid. Indeed, humanity was nothing in front of benefits.

"Sein, in the future, you will become the Butler of this manor." Xu Tianyu said lightly. He no longer believed in outsiders.

"Yes, young master." Sein agreed directly. Since the Butler was only directing the work of others, it was not difficult for him.

The place where the farmers lived was not in the manor s, but in the fields, they had built a few small houses.
