380 8.8 Using The Loot For The People

Matilda and the Assassins began to hit every Church in the settlement for the next 11 nights and no news had been reported that the Churches had been looted. It was a big surprise for me knowing that the Churches were an influential bunch and were egoistic fucktards that refuse to let the public know that they were robbed.

At the end of the 12 days, the loot accumulated by Matilda and the Assassins were as follow:

177,454 gold coins

354,320 shillings

24,808 poor quality rubies

25,888 poor quality emeralds

14,428 poor quality sapphires

15,678 poor quality diamonds

During that 12 days of infiltration, sabotage and pillage by Matilda and the Assassins, I had instructed Will.I.Am to purchase another 24 plots of lands per town adding to a total of 48 plots of lands each. This incurred the following investments:

48 plots of lands on each of the 12 towns and had paid a grand total of 12,960 gold coins.

I instructed them to make an Increment of 4 serfs per lot, at a total number of 2304 employees and would be paying them 4,608 gold coins monthly.

Each plot of land had an equal number of 192 fowl, 8 dairy goats and 8 sheep, 16 pigs and 4 dairy cows for an amount of 6,408 gold coins altogether.

The total investment for the 576 plot of lands with livestock is 24,456 gold coins with a fixed overhead of 5,088 gold coins monthly. The salary had been paid in advance as well as the feeds. This advance payment is to give a boost in the wellbeing for the employees.

The returns for the investments would be 201 gold coins daily from the proceeds of the sales of eggs and milk.

"Alright, you three, you had compiled a total of 6,000 settlers in all the towns and those settlers were living in cruck houses, much worse condition than our hearth right now, am I correct?"

"Yes, Sir Robin. They were housed in cruck houses made of mud, straw and manure. For those serfs, they took turns to sleep in the thatched shelters on each of the plots of land, but were exposed to wind, rain and snow since they have very low thatched walls."

"They even build a small fireplace to cook their meals there, because there is no way to bring in the livestock unto their cruck houses. But they were willing to do it to wars off bears and wolves," said Alleicea.

"Adding 4 serfs per lot would bring about 8 gold coins and most of the serfs that worked there are related to one another. We do not regard any gender preferences when they work with us," said Aventina as she added about the income and also the increase of the wellbeing.

"Sir Robin, the workers were paid only 6 coppers per day or 180 coppers per month. After the exchange rate, it is only like 3 shillings plus for them. I had instructed them to declare their salaries as 4 shillings in case they were asked by the Church when W they go about to collect taxes." explained Will.I.Am when he discussed the salaries that were told to pay the workers.

"Alright, all 3 of you proceed to the garden patch thatched house and prepare 100 silver coins pouches, once you had 125 of them, let me know so I would be able to dispense them. Is that understood?"

"Yes, Sir Robin, may we know where did we get to accumulate so many chests of coins in that garden hut? It would be safe, doesn't it?"

"That's all right, Will. That's the least suspected place to find the loot there. You should know that these monies actually come from the Church hoarding for these past few years and it's time for us to return it back to the rightful owner." I explained and saw the determined look in Will.I.Am faces that this money indeed belongs to the settlers.

Not to mention a gold coin, even a silver coin would be helpful for those serfs and their families. These serfs are much like peasants and those who worked for free, do not get any returns at all and they might as well be working on their own farmlands.

Under the influence of the Church and the get rich quick schemes, they used God, Heaven and Hell in their weekly mass to instil fear and the power of the Church and its richness was even more than the King ruling that land.

It is known that the King cannot remove the High Priest from the Church but the Church can remove a king from its throne. This is through an excommunication that the King and his knights are bent on going to Hell and followers were scared to their wits.

The Church incites unrest, riots and such if they find the King to be in any form of undesirable favour. In that way, the Church remains in power to whoever was their people's ruler.

"The Assassins would be doing the distribution later when it's completed and they would be doing their part in filling the 100 silver coins pouches from 8 pm to 12 midnight daily," I explained as Matilda and the sergeant of the Assassins heard and noted of their tasks

"Will, Ally and Tina... I need you to pass along a secret message through all the 192 employees these, 'You will receive a Secret Blessing, keep it a secret and don't let anyone knows about it. Just wait after midnight.' and once you are done telling that particular settlement, let us know."

"The rotation would be at 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11 and 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12. Each number of the towns represent the number that you had made the investments on. Check the arrangements if the files there, you will know what I mean. The money would be distributed to them secretly as you pay those salary of the employees."

"You may also need to change the rotation of the settlements according to the distribution of the Secret Blessings to them, do you have any questions so far?"

"No, Sir Robin. We just go about as discreetly. Furthermore, we had open a trade commlink and we would be receiving the 201 gold coins from the sales daily and we have decided to set up a local saving account so we would be able to observe the sales coming in." replied Will.I.Am as they don't have to physically monitor the physical cash.

The most important part now is to make the 100 silver coins pouches for Matilda and the Assassins to distribute.

.....

"T E L E P A T H Y"

"Alright guys, we move in silently and swiftly and once we had dropped in the coin pouch over their windows, we made a scratch of a small 'I' underneath it so we would be able to know we had visited once to the houses."Matilda thought as everyone agreed.

"Roger that, Red One. We would be doing this for 12 days in a row for each single houses in each of the settlement."

"That's right, come on. Let's do it..." instructed Matilda as she tiptoed and hid in the shadows. She took out several pouches of coins and dropped it through a window and a soft thud sounded. She then took a piece of rock and drew a short 'I' under the window, indicating that they had received the first drop of Secret Blessings.

She tiptoed and settled the second house and repeated the process until she had reached the 15th cruck houses. The rest of the 12 Assassins took 10 houses each and they completed the whole mission in less than 5 minutes.

They had observed the 2-night patrolmen on the grounds since security had been beefed up due to the recent pillage on the Churches wealth. They avoided the path that these 2 might patrolmen were heading.

These patrolmen were emplaced not to enhance security for the community of the serfs but they were emplaced to keep the serfs from wandering about and would flog them if they were caught outdoors after curfew except for those guarding the plots of lands.
