Chapter 39

Witt came home dejected. Until this time, the fragrance of mints remained in his mouth.

He has been deeply fascinated by this nostalgic taste.

After eating mints, he even felt that the smell in his mouth was full of sweet smell when he spoke. It was like kissing a girl - didn't the bards say that kissing a girl was sweet

As for what Donne said, collecting Mint grass can exchange silver coins and mints?

Cut, he doesn't believe it. How can there be such a good thing in the world?

It must be lying!

"I'm back..."

As soon as Witt opened the door, he saw his father and mother sitting at the table whispering about something. He didn't care and went straight back to the house.

"... do you think the Lord's announcement is true?"

"I don't know, but since it was released by the Lord, it should be true..."

"You can change silver coins by collecting Mint grass? What exactly is Lord thinking? The mint grass mentioned in the announcement is the one growing along the river. It's everywhere. Why send someone to collect it?"

"Who knows? The Lord may have his plan. Everyone has just escaped from the fear of mountain bandits. He may want everyone to have something to do."

"Anyway, it's good to have a try. If you can really change silver coins, it's great!"

Witt suddenly stopped, his face uncertain: "Dad, mom, what you're talking about, is it the new announcement issued by the Lord?"

"Yes, as long as you collect Mint grass, you can change silver coins. There is the Lord's signature on it. It should be... Eh? Witt, what are you doing?"

"I'll go out!"

Victor picked up the bag next to him and ran away. He rushed out of the house and went straight to the emerald river. When he came to the emerald River, Victor was stunned.

At the moment, many people are collecting Mint by the emerald river!

"Brother Witt!"

Marshall was very happy to see Victor, raised his hand and shouted.

Victor ran over. Marshall pulled up the bag in his hand and said, "brother Victor, I've collected a lot. Although I don't know how many kilograms, I'm sure I can change to MINT!"

Victor looked carefully. The bag in his hand was almost full, and others around him were almost the same. There was a lot less peppermint grass.

Victor is very anxious. How can he make silver money if the mint grass lets them light up!?

Now Witt couldn't care to talk to Marshall any more. He rushed to the side and began to collect Mint grass.

Children born in Ellington will help their families when they are young. They are good at collecting wild vegetables. Of course, collecting peppermint is not a problem.

Moreover, under the restriction of Donne's law, they didn't dare to do too hard, but left the roots, which could be collected again in a while.

On the river bank, all the people who had nothing to do were working in full swing. Several tramps who stayed in Ellington all year round were also busy here, hoping to change some silver coins and buy some bread to fill their stomachs.

Not far away, Donne watched all this with satisfaction.

With the motivation to make money, these people have the goal of life. After getting busy one by one, their energy and spirit are different.

"Big brother, can I also collect Mint grass to earn silver coins for mint candy?"

Elia looked excitedly at everyone busy there, and she was also a little eager to try.

Donne wanted to say that I can take care of you without making silver coins. But on second thought, he smiled and said, "yes, Elia has to work hard if she wants to eat mint."

"Yes!"

Elia nodded fiercely, then ran down and picked Mint grass with several friends.

Donne smiled.

He doesn't want to spoil Elia too much. There are too many such examples on earth. Even if a gifted child is spoiled, it will be difficult to grow up in the future.

If he just protects and dotes on Elia, she will have no independent ability in the future.

What's more, now her friends are making money with their own efforts, but she can enjoy it, which virtually draws a line between her and her friends. Over time, she is alienated from her friends, which is not a good thing.

Working together and sharing joy together can quickly enhance the feelings between them. At the same time, it can also enhance Elia's understanding with others in work and make it easier for everyone to accept her.

In short, this is a good thing to kill more with one stone.

In the evening, Fiona arranged a table in front of the Lord's house to buy Mint grass according to Donne's order. Donne specially made a scale for her to measure Mint grass.

Seeing this situation, the Ellington residents who had been very nervous were relieved. They knew that the Lord really planned to buy Mint grass, and their faces showed happy smiles.

But Donne was shocked to see their big and small bags. Originally, he thought these people would be bored if they didn't collect much. Unexpectedly, they worked until this time.

"Danny, 3.8 kilograms. Here are three silver coins and eighty copper coins. Please keep them."

Fiona quickly put away the mint and handed the money to Danny. Danny jumped up excitedly when he received the money: "Yeah! Great! There's money for wine tonight!"

Danny's mother aunt Sandra grabbed Danny: "what wine money! Give it to me quickly!"

Dennington wanted to cry without tears: "Mom! How can you do this!"

"This is for your own good. I'll save you money to marry a daughter-in-law!"

Aunt Sandra said, put the mint she had collected on the scale and looked at Fiona nervously.

"Two four kilos, two silver coins and forty copper coins. Aunt Sandra, please take them."

Aunt Sandra was immediately happy. She earned two silver coins and forty copper coins in just one afternoon. It was unimaginable when Hogg was in office!

"Lord, what a good man!"

Aunt Sandra said happily, "but what's the use of Lord buying this Mint? We're sorry if Lord loses money to help us..."

Fiona smiled. As soon as she was ready to answer, she saw Betty behind aunt Sandra. She smiled and said, "just look around and you'll know."

Sandra stood next to her with a little doubt, and then saw Betty dragging a bag on the scale with a little effort.

"Four and a half kilograms!"

Fiona exclaimed, "little girl, you are so capable!"

Betty immediately blushed.

"How do you want to change four silver coins and fifty copper coins?"

Betty said nervously, "I want to change two silver coins into mints, can I?"

"Yes."

Fiona said with a smile, took twenty mints for Betty and handed them to her with silver coins: "put them away."

Betty took the mints, put them directly into her mouth, showed a happy expression on her face, and then left happily.

"Mint?"

Aunt Sandra looked confused: "what's that? One is worth ten coppers!"

Similar questions appeared in many people's minds at the same time. With the exchange, after several children exchanged mints, several adults finally became curious and exchanged some mints. As a result, they were immediately stunned.

More and more people are impressed by the charm of mints. Most of the people who can actually exchange mints are children. For adults, they have to consider more. Converting them into silver coins can subsidize their families, which is more important for them.

But children are different. They have no ability to make money. Now they have made money with their own labor. In addition to taking part of it home, they can control the rest freely. Of course, this is a good thing.

Tang en hid aside and observed quietly, especially Elia. After working all afternoon, Elia was standing in the line and talking and laughing with her friends. The adults nearby seemed to be used to it and had no special reaction.

It seems to work well.

Donne thought for a moment and went out.

"Lord!"

"Lord!"

There was a series of voices outside. Now they called Donne, but they meant it.

This makes Donne feel very much. Just a little favor makes them support themselves so much. If, just if Ellington develops more prosperous, what should they react? Are they willing to defend Ellington with their lives?

"Please excuse me."

Donne waved his hand, smiled at Elia, and then said in a loud voice, "everyone may wonder why I bought mint."

Immediately there was silence waiting for Donne's answer.

"Mint grass, as many people know, grows along the emerald river. It grows a lot and has a special smell, but we don't know that mint grass can be eaten and its juice is also useful."

Donne said with a smile: "yes, Ellington is very poor, but we are not poor. We have rich land and many treasures here. As long as we find them with our heart, we can find very valuable things."

"Mint is one of them."

Donne said loudly, "I'm telling you a good news. Soon, Ellington will build a workshop, which I call Ellington candy factory. At that time, as long as those who want to work will have their own job. At the same time, I promise you can earn a lot of gold coins, so that everyone can live comfortably and be proud to be a member of Ellington!"

"At the same time, I would also like to announce one thing. The day after tomorrow, 1222 farmers in Ellington can receive agricultural subsidies. The agricultural subsidies are for you to replace farm tools and will not be distributed to you - but at that time, all subsidized farmers can go to Edgar's blacksmith shop to receive a set of iron farm tools for free!"

in an uproar!

Shock!

Almost everyone can't believe their ears!

What did they hear?

Lord, pay to replace iron tools for them!?

The gods are on... Is this, is this true!?
