375 8.3 Baronet and Baronetess For A Commoner

"Sir Robin, these are our findings based on a little snooping around in Fenton and Barkston Ash." Will.i.am sat with the 2 girls before us and began to take out their stacks of papers from each of their messenger bag as well as their notepads and writing materials.

"Alright, let's begin with the plot of land investments for the 2 settlements."

"Sir Robin, we had made a purchase of 12 plot of lands in Fenton at a price of 450 shillings each for a total of 5400 shillings. We also hired 24 livestock herders at 2 gold per month which comes to 48 gold coins monthly. Total investment was 5400 shillings or 318 gold coins at Fenton alone."

"There would be 4 chicken coops and 4 ducks coops for each plot and the total of these feathered livestock equals to 576 of them and each costs 1 shilling each. Eggs could be harvested about 6 dozens daily and be sold at a copper each. We paid 576 shillings for the fowl or close to 29 gold coins.

"Next we had a plot that was shared with 8 dairy goats and 8 sheep that would give us 8 pints of goat's milk every day for 305 days and wool after the sheeps had been shorn every 6 months. The wool sells between 3 to 5 gold coins per catty. The milk could be sold for 1 shilling daily. We had bought 24 dairy goats and 24 sheep for a total of 144 gold coins at 3 gold coins each."

"Next we bought 12 sows and 4 hogs per plot of land at a cost of 3 gold each for a total of 144 gold pieces. These 12 sows would have at most 10 litters per 6 months and that would lead to land expansion if we intend to establish a pigsty."

"Last but not least, we had bought 3 dairy cows each per plot of land at a cost of 5 gold coins each. Each dairy cow could produce 21 pints of milk per day for a total of 189 pints daily. Each pint sells for 1 shilling each. We paid a total of 45 gold coins for the cows."

"Total investments amount to 680 gold coins, where 48 gold coins go to the monthly salaries of the 24 livestock herders while another 10 gold coins go to the monthly feed."

"Our returns from Fenton alone would be 72 coppers daily from the fowls' eggs and 213 shillings or close to 11 gold coins from the dairy cows and goats milk daily."

"That's the total report for the settlement of Fenton, Sir Robin. It would be the same as Barkston Ash tomorrow. We could only achieve 1 Town per day as the procuring of the lands take quite a long time." reported Will.I.am as he closes his report book and filed all the 12 title deeds together into a binding folder.

"No worries, you three could soon be Masters soon and after you had achieved 12 settlements, you could expand to adding 3 fold to your plot of lands after performing a rotation. You understand what I mean by that?"

"Yes, Sir Robin... It means after we acquire 12 plots of lands from each settlement each, we will go the first settlement and then purchase another 24 plots of lands to make it 3 fold, right?" explained Aventina as she had much earlier read the tomes on accounts, business, commerce and trade. The same goes for the 2 of them.

Luckily those tomes were purchased much earlier and these 3 support staffs would be Lord's of the Land soon as they delved themselves into the aspects of the business. My role now is to nurture them and not partake in any of their undertakings.

"Here's the statistics report for Fenton, Sir Robin," said Alleicea.

"Fenton as a population of 500 settlers and there are 12 nobles staying there. Out of the 12 nobles, was a member of the Church and he is responsible for collecting monthly taxes of 5 shillings from the settlers. No taxes were imposed on the nobles and Church members themselves."

"A total of 2,500 shillings were being collected monthly, not even caring if the person is sick, bedridden or even a newborn child. No one is spared from the monthly tax imposed by the Sheriff of Nottingham. The 12 plots of lands have a monthly tax imposed as well and we made it clear to have a receipt for every tax we had paid." concluded Alleicea as she shared a packet of corn chips with Aventina while Will.I.am was sucking on a Chupa Chups lollipop.

"Sir Robin, these taxes were collected by the Church and was kept in their basement. That's what I heard and only a small sum goes back to the Sheriff. In other words, the Church is trying to be rich for themselves alone." narrated Will.i.am as he lolled the lollipop around in his mouth just like Theo Kojak always did in the 70's hit detective movie.

"Hmm... Hitting the Church would be a most sinful act in the eyes of the Lord but what the Church is doing right now is more heinous and blasphemous since they rob their own citizens and worshippers out from their sweat, blood and tears."

I sighed at the thought of such doings from the greedy Church. These are the same Church that steals the lands of others and proclaim it under their own and the same Church that had to annihilate Matilda's father, 5 years ago.

When Matilda heard about what the Church was doing, she crumpled her empty packet of Tortillas and slowly crunched it noisily under her hand and she made a crazy looking face and only represents that she needs more snacks to satiate her hunger... Ehh... Anger... Grrrrrrr...

"Hey, silly boy... I can see from your eyes what you are thinking right now. Hii Hii Hii... You must be plotting against something, right? And if you are planning to plot against the Church, let me lead the way..." Matilda said as she volunteered to whatever plans I hatched in my mind.

Of course, I planned to plot against the Church one day, but it would be night ops and the members who would be best at their jobs would be the Assassins. However, since Matilda had volunteered it would be best for her to read more skill tomes.

"You really want to go against the Church, do you? Here are some skill tomes, read and learn them and execute. You will be termed as one of the Assassin Warrior." I spoke as I handed Matilda Shadow Steps, Shadows of Haste, Cat Walk, Leopard Crawl, Return, Telepathy, Shadow Form, Escape, Defy Gravity and Silent Void.

"Take this 10 tomes and you could move as silently and swiftly as the Assassins. I would draw up a plan for the attacks and we would be hitting 3 to 5 Churches per night and drain all their resources."

Matilda took these times and knew I had bought nearly all the skill tomes and had duplicated them for the development of the team to where it is right now.

"Get acquainted with the Assassins as you would be commandeering them onwards for these Church's raids. We are going to call these raids as Charity Party Raids or CPR for short. Hahahaha. It sure is going to resuscitate those who had been in living hell under the Church's evil deeds."

I laughed at the acronym as Matilda held the 10 tomes dearly in her arms as she sat silently to read and learn those skills on meditative stance on the floor. Soon, she had finished learning as all the tomes dissipated in thin air and absorbed into her memory.

"Thank you, Will, Ally and Tina. You three had done a great job and please continue your efforts and bring the favours of the settlers towards us."

"Only one thing, Sir Robin. When we bought those lands, we were already being referred to as Young Masters. It's weird being called in this manner because I'm the one who is used to calling people that and same goes to the girls too."

"Times have changed, Young Will, just get accustomed to it. Who knows one day you would get to be a Baronet and Baronetess." I said as Will.I.Am and the 2 girls were doing some curtsies as they addressed each other as Baronet and Baronetess as the three went to the trailers to get a Kings' ice cream cone. Hahahaha...
