Chapter 351: Return the population to me
Robb answered the phone. Her majesty the queen still acted dignified. Although she had been forced to pull up her dress and show Robb her thighs in silk stockings, she returned to her dignified, sacred and inviolable appearance the second day when she called. Moreover, she always went straight to the point as soon as she spoke. She said impolitely again, "Robb, you've been stealing my people recently, haven't you?"
"I stole your people? Of course not!"
The queen pounded the table and said angrily, "then tell me, why am I losing population?"
Robb, "drifting away, we are drifting to the West, with dreams making our lives become better. Goodbye to the hesitation we had yesterday, and waving goodbye and farewell for our success..."
"You can't fool me by singing." The queen said seriously, "the people you stole from me are all strong laborers. All the villages around Westwind Town only leave old people and children to me. You are such a crazy man. Give me back the good people!"
Robb shrugged and said "My lady, you seem to have made a mistake. I didn't steal these people. They came here spontaneously and voluntarily. Because in Westwind Town, even a man who does manual work has a monthly salary of five silver coins, and a person with a little knowledge can earn ten silver coins. This is the income that drives them to come to Westwind Town. If I give them back to you, can you give them a monthly salary of five silver coins? Can you afford the money? "
The queen was rendered speechless
This question was hard for the queen on the spot. As the ruler of a country, she certainly knew her own average national income. For the residents of those small villages and towns, their monthly income was difficult to earn even a silver coin. Most of them only earn dozens of copper coins. If they bought some necessities like salt and cloth, they wouldn't have any money left. People's lives were hard. It was said that there was a place not far away where five silver coins to ten silver coins a month could be earned. It would be strange if they didn't go there.
Fortunately, the traffic was not that developed yet, and information spread slowly. The queen did not need to worry about people far away from Westwind Town, but the small villages around Westwind town were really sucked up.
The queen wanted to say willfully, "I don't care. You must return them to me.".
But she was not a tyrant. On the contrary, she was a queen who was very considerate for her own people. She couldn't force the people to have a good life with conscience, but had to live a poor life.
Facing the crystal ball, she couldn't help but fall into deep thought
She decisively threw the cup at the clothes floating in the air
"Wow!"
The dark skinned man's face was covered with the cola. He hurriedly shouted, "miss Lilian, it's not a ghost. It's me, Motra."
"Oh, it's Mr. Motra." Lilian was shocked. "Why are you pretending to be a ghost outside my house?"
"I'm not pretending to be a ghost. It's just that my skin is black."
Lilian pouted and said, "don't come out at night with you dark skin."
If a servant of another family talked to him like this, he would have already fought back and might even kill him. However, Lilian was an extraordinary servant and no one dared to provoke her. He had to smile and said, "miss Lilian is right. When I go out tonight, I will apply some white paint on my face."
Lilian finally let him go and went back to the house to give Robb the Cola.
He walked up to Robb and took out a large bag. He smiled and said, "Godfather, I've really found what you want me to find for you."
"Oh?" Robb was overjoyed and said, "come here and have a look."
Robb opened the bag, took out a big stone and placed it in front of him. This stone was very interesting. It was very thin and looked like it was made of sand.
"This is what you want -- dense sand and stone." Motra smiled and said, "my family has searched all over the desert. Finally, they found this kind of stone beside the desert. Then they knocked down a large stone and sent it to you from a thousand miles away."
Robb laughed and said, "well done! I owe your family a big favor. In the future, I will find a business that can make a lot of money for your family."
