Chapter 466: Goal Achieved
Outside the castle, William deliberately asked Sunday to release a lot of Black Blade drones to take pictures of the missing watch on Wilson's wrist.
Send the photos to the media secretly, and there will definitely be reports in the news that Wilson was wearing a detector before entering the castle, but the watch was gone after leaving the castle.
Spend some more money on the tabloids, and all kinds of true and false reports will appear in less than a day. William has even prepared several articles that the watch-type detector has problems or the technology is not yet mature.
Wilson put the new detector in his pocket, picked up the hunting rifle, followed William, who was also wearing hunting clothes, out of the castle, and walked to the stable.
The staff who received the notice early took Wilson and his bodyguard to choose horses.
William greeted eight professional hunters from the castle town with hunting dogs.
"Good morning, BOSS."
Neil Jordan, the head of the stable, looked at Chitu, who became excited when he saw William, with concern, "BOSS, Chitu is now a champion horse, it is really not suitable to ride it to hunt. If something goes wrong, the loss will be too great."
William was not someone who would not listen to advice. He patted Red Hare's head and said, "Take Red Hare back to the stable. I will come back in the afternoon and come to see it if I have time."
"Okay, okay, BOSS," Old Neil saw that William agreed so readily, and hurriedly shouted to the equally nervous trainer and horse boy beside him, "Hurry up and send Red Hare back to the stable, and help BOSS bring another horse."
Without arguing with Old Neil, he rode on the blood horse that the old man had prepared for him, hung up the hunting rifle, and waited for Wilson to ride out on the horse. The two of them, with four bodyguards who were also riding horses, drove out of the stable led by eight hunters.
With eight professional hunters leading the way and more than twenty hunting dogs driving, William and Wilson shot two wild boars and more than a dozen rabbits in less than two hours.
At 12 noon, William heard Sunday reply to him that the news about Wilson had been spread, and said to Wilson, who was still excited, "Okay, go back for lunch first, and we will talk about distributing goods to the desert area in the afternoon."
Wilson, who rarely went out hunting, heard this and nodded in agreement despite his unhappiness.
A group of people spent half an hour riding back to the stable. William took out a roll of pounds and threw it to the leader of today's hunters, Old Hunter, "We won't go out in the afternoon. Help me clean up the wild boars and rabbits, pick out the good ones and send them to the castle, and keep the rest for yourselves."
"Okay, Mr. Devonshire."
Old Hunter took the roll of pounds and immediately knew that there were at least 3,000 pounds. Eight people could earn 400 pounds in one morning. Old Hunter was very happy, but he also hoped that William would go hunting every day in the future. Unfortunately, this idea was just a thought.
Taking off his hat, Old Hunter bowed slightly to thank him, "Thank you for your reward, and may the Devonshire family prosper forever, my lord."
"Haha," William laughed when he heard Old Hunter call him master, "Okay, you can change the name after I really inherit the title of earl. It's not appropriate now."
Riding on the horse, pulling the brim of the hat on his head, he nodded in return, "Goodbye, Old Hunter."
Then he nodded slightly to the other seven hunters.
The hunters returned the greetings respectfully.
He got a day's salary after working for only half a day, and judging from the appearance of old Hunter, it was not a small amount of money.
In addition, the news that William bought 3.4 acres of land around the town had already spread, and those who stayed in the town would have to rely on the Devonshire family in the future.
So everyone bowed and saluted like old Hunter, which made William, who had always been dismissive of the noble life, suddenly feel very happy.
A sense of novelty with a sense of history arose spontaneously, and he suddenly understood why those nobles who had experienced superiority would rather struggle to support themselves than give up the noble tradition.
Watching the hunter leave, Wilson smiled and asked, "Does it feel good?"
"Although it is a bit disrespectful, this feeling is really good," William replied with a smile.
But he knew that a big reason for all this was money.
The Devonshire family rose again, and hunters like old Hunter who specialized in serving the nobles deliberately picked up the nobles' tricks to please him.
To them, the nobles are their breadwinners, and pleasing anyone is pleasing them. Even if they go out to work, they still have to flatter their superiors or clients. It won't cost them anything to pretend to be nice.
"Haha," Wilson laughed when he heard William's somewhat annoying words, "Only in rural farms and manors can you find some traditional aristocratic etiquette culture.
However, I remind you, buddy, don't get too obsessed with it. These people are after the money in your pocket."
"Okay," interrupted Wilson, and William curled his lips. Of course, he knew what Wilson meant. Except for those who go out to work, the income of the residents living in the town now depends on him.
It's normal for them to try different ways to please him, the God of Wealth.
"I don't care whether they are sincere or not. I will pay whoever works for me. If they do a good job, they will get a raise. If they don't do a good job, they will be fired."
"It's good that you understand. Good traditions should be preserved, but it is more appropriate to deal with the relationship between employers and employees in the way that capitalists do," Wilson thought for a while and whispered, "If someone advises you to completely adopt the aristocratic way in the future, then this person must want to harm you or have ulterior motives."
...
After speaking, Wilson stopped and stared at William. Seeing that he didn't show a little curiosity, Wilson couldn't help but be discouraged.
"You are so boring."
After waiting for a while, William was still not interested. Wilson himself did not hold back and said, "Do you know how the maids have your relative's house now?"
"How many?"
Do n’t think of William that Wilson said it was the Earl of Oxford, who was about to see God.
"A total of 140".
Wilson looked around carefully, and confirmed that no one except the four bodyguards followed, "I may know that there is not much time for himself. It's not like money at all,
For a woman's jewelry jewelry, it was sent casually, and even the feeding tax was paid for her. I was worried that it would not be long before he would not only be in debt, but he might have damaged the reputation of the Devinhir family. "
"What does this have to do with the family?" William confused.
"God, you don't understand," at a vain glance, "You don't want to say that the family history of the family in the future is the 46th family owner of the Devin Hill family. The woman was defeated by the ancestor, and she was tired of debt, and left a mess to give a mess to the count. This is not a good evaluation. "
Ha, looking at Wilson, who looked a little dodging, William knew that what the guy said was to pick up as much as possible, really want to evaluate the current Earl's words, and think about the evaluation of the worst emperors in history.
And William cares about why Wilson pays attention to the situation of the count and squints, "What do you care about him?"
