Chapter 796 The Resistant Viscount
When they learned that the goal was to "pack and transport" the entire Viscount Tostin's manor, the other party sent Bacon a string of question marks.
After repeated confirmation, until Bacon brought up the name of Petwin Tostin, they reluctantly believed that Bacon was not playing a prank on them.
Anyway, even if this thing didn't work out, their charging standard was to pay first and then work.
Then.
Viscount Tostin inexplicably learned from the servant that a large number of people came outside his manor, carrying various measuring tools, and were surrounding the walls of the entire manor to record the length, width and other information.
He was stunned on the spot.
What is this going to do?
Let the servant stop the leader and ask about the situation.
"Didn't you entrust the moving and transportation service? The scale of this manor is definitely medium-sized. We have to calculate in advance how many [weight loss] and [floating] devices we need to bring to pack the entire manor!"
The other party's answer was so reasonable.
Viscount Tostin was stunned when he heard it.
What is moving and transportation service? !
What is the [Weight Loss] and [Floating] device?
He didn't make these things?
Petwin blinked.
"By the way, we ordered it!"
"Didn't you say that we can pick whatever valuable things are in the manor?"
"I think this manor itself is the most valuable, so I plan to pack it up and ship it to Dawn City. What do you think?"
Viscount Tostin's face immediately darkened.
Dawn City, Dawn City, Dawn City again!
In the past, the most prosperous city in Ceylon was Ceylon City where he was.
Because the churches and monasteries of the Glorious God are not far from Ceylon City.
Since the so-called new city appeared a few months ago, everything has started to change.
People are no longer flocking to Ceylon City.
At this time of year in previous years, for border defense, many nearby kings' troops should have arrived. According to convention, several noble friends that Viscount Tostin knew should also visit and come to have a small gathering.
After all, as a native of Ceylon, he is most familiar with the local environment, especially the border environment.
But this year, it is deserted.
Not a single friend came.
Viscount Tostin can probably guess where they went.
…
Since the Seeking Knowledge believers "invaded" Ceylon, Viscount Tostin felt that he was simply having a hard time!
Because he found that the life he was familiar with had changed dramatically in a very short period of time.
And this change...was not very friendly to him.
The feeling of "everything is under control" was completely gone.
Many things are now completely out of his control.
He can clearly feel it.
His "right to speak" is rapidly becoming smaller and smaller.
Nothing else.
More than half a month ago, there was a male servant in the manor who had signed a contract with him and worked for the agreed 10 years.
If it were in the past, the other party would definitely beg him eagerly, hoping to renew the contract for another ten years.
After all, working in the Viscount's manor, both the income and treatment are much better than outside!
Nothing else.
On this cold winter day.
In the past, ordinary people had to calculate the time to burn the fireplace, and the firewood they stored was not enough to supply the whole winter.
The building of the Viscount's manor was warm all day long, because every fireplace was constantly emitting a warm atmosphere.
It was definitely a good job for ordinary people to work for a "noble master" like Viscount Tostin.
But this time the situation changed.
A few days before the expiration of the contract, Viscount Tostin found that his manservant began to pack his luggage and packed his personal belongings into a package early, as if he was looking forward to the completion of the contract.
After the ten-year contract expired, the other party thanked the Viscount for his care and kindness over the years and left happily!
He didn't even mention the renewal of the contract.
Viscount Tostin felt extremely unhappy at the time!
The other party was able to leave so cleanly, and when other servants looked at this person, they also showed envy and longing in their eyes, rather than pity and sympathy.
This made Viscount Tostin even more upset!
In the past, if the servants did not work seriously or efficiently, his most severe punishment would not be fines or whipping, but expulsion from the manor.
Using this trick as a threat, the male and female servants who served would work hard, fearing that they would lose this hard-earned job.
Please...collect_6Ⅰ9Ⅰ书Ⅰ吧 (六\\\\\\九\\\\\\书\\\\\\吧!)
It doesn't work now.
This trick not only lost its deterrent power, but became a reward!
Listen, what kind of words are these?
Reward!
Before Viscount Tostin discovered this, the servants began to be lazy, clumsy, and broke things frequently.
He drove one of them away as a warning to others.
Not only did the situation not improve, but it got worse!
Some guys even used poor acting skills to deliberately make trouble in front of him.
For example, when serving him coffee, she inexplicably fell flat on the ground, spilling the steaming hot coffee all over him.
Or when cleaning the manor, she deliberately mopped the floor with dirty water from who knows where, making the hall used to receive guests smelly and foul.
Such situations are endless.
Viscount Tostin finally reacted.
These guys were just waiting to be driven away by him after making mistakes!
He had to change his methods and change the punishment method to the most primitive whipping. He severely whipped these sneaky guys, and barely curbed the chaos in the manor.
The more this happened, the worse Viscount Tostin's impression of the "Church of Knowledge" became!
When did these changes begin?
There is no doubt that it was after the end of Ceylon's Eternal Night!
First, Bishop Henry Trang of the Glowing God was inexplicably taken away by the supervisory priests for malfeasance, and then the news of the establishment of the new city of Dawn City came.
Things completely exceeded Viscount Tostin's expectations.
He had learned some inside information about the Countess earlier, and Bishop Henry Trang had hinted to him at the time.
The Countess would soon be in trouble and fall.
Ceylon, no, that's not right, it should be said that the border area needs a new noble who is familiar with the local area and has high moral character to guard it.
At that time, the Church of the God of Radiance will give him a push in the capital and recommend him to the king.
By that time, this place will be renamed "County of Tostin".
As a result, all the expectations were ruined by the confusion of the Seeking Knowledge believers who came out of nowhere!
That's why he has always disliked the Seeking Knowledge Church.
Even Dawn City is a word he dislikes.
I thought my youngest son Petunia had been "awake" recently.
Unexpectedly, he was given another big one!
He actually wanted to move the entire manor directly to Dawn City!
