I Have a Dragon Island - Chapter 165

[Chapter 165 Wilder’s Plan]

After these words were spoken, the other three old men nodded.

Although there were farmlands outside the carriage, they looked largely desolate and the grain harvest was obviously extremely poor.

Some farmers were harvesting wheat under the scorching sun.

However, no matter how hard they worked, they only harvested a small amount of food.

The old man who had spoken earlier retracted his gaze and said to the crowd, “Fengming Town is a notoriously barren place. The previous baron had long planned to flee. I thought no one would be willing to take over this place. Haha, I didn’t expect that not only would someone come, but they would also want to set up a school here?”

As he spoke, he changed his tone and a smile appeared on his face.

“But the new Baron Fengming is also very generous. He actually agreed to pay us two silver coins a month. If not for this, I’m afraid I would never come here in my life.”

Hearing this, everyone laughed.

“Yes, and the baron’s entourage even paid a silver coin in advance, which was very generous.”

An old man said this with a dazed look on his face.

The four of them were all retired teachers from Lanyang City University. They wanted to enjoy a quiet life, but were moved by Yu Bu’s salary and came to Fengming Town to teach.

“I don’t know what you guys are thinking, but after I get the remaining silver coins, I’m going to leave. If I stay in such a shabby place all day, I’ll definitely go crazy.”

“I think so too.” Another old man seconded.

Although they could receive a certain amount of retirement salary from Viscount Rudolf every month, a silver coin was enough to impress them.

Due to Yu Bu’s generosity, the other two old men even thought that if Fengming Town was not as bad as the rumors said, they could consider staying here for a few months.

However, after seeing the chaos outside Fengming Town, they all gave up the idea.

Not long after, the carriage slowly drove into Fengming Town.

The townspeople heard the noise and looked over, all of them extremely curious.

But most people just took a look and ignored it.

In the carriage, the four people took a quick look and shook their heads again.

“Tsk tsk, is this a primitive tribe? It’s more barren than I imagined. For example, I haven’t seen that wooden house for many years.”

An old man said this and pointed to the wooden house in front.

Several people listened to his words but said nothing. They all wanted to get through the next month quickly and then leave quickly.

Not long after, the carriage finally arrived in front of Yu Bu’s manor.

Tommy had been waiting here early. When he saw the carriage arriving, he hurriedly ordered a member of the guard to go and inform the baron.

“Mr. Wilder, you are finally here.” He walked forward excitedly and greeted the four people.

The old man named Wilder smiled and said, “Since I have received your reward, it is natural for me to come here… By the way, where is the Baron?”

Tommy was about to speak.

Suddenly, the sound of footsteps was heard behind everyone.

Everyone looked at it and their eyes immediately brightened.

“Haha, four old gentlemen are here.” Yu Bu smiled and performed a noble etiquette, and several people hurriedly returned the greeting.

Wilder looked at Yu Bu and felt that the latter looked more like a nobleman than Viscount Rudolf and had a natural sense of dignity.
