I Have a Dragon Island - Chapter 555

[Chapter 555 Liya]

The maid felt a little frightened.

What does my lord mean by going home?

Is he really planning to come here to exploit us and then run away?

The maid couldn’t help but have such thoughts in her mind.

She accidentally looked up and suddenly found Yu Bu staring at her.

At this moment, my heart could not help but pound.

“Oh! The Baron is so handsome! He is not like the fat pig he used to be… Ugh! What am I thinking?!”

Liya felt flustered and ashamed of her wild thoughts.

Yu Bu took a sip of boiled water to moisten his throat and looked at the maid who was busy cleaning.

“Ahem. Leah.”

He already knew the name of every servant in his castle.

“Do you all work in clothes like this?”

As soon as Yu Bu said this, Liya was shocked.

“Ah, ah. What?” She was a little flustered and pulled at the hem of her tattered skirt.

Seeing this, Yu Bu was speechless.

Silence, soundless silence.

Liya was panicked and looked at the silent Baron Yubu, not knowing what to say.

“Is the Lord blaming me?”

She quickly looked at her clothes and started to tidy them up in a hurry.

But at this moment, Yu Bu came to his senses and said something comforting.

“Don’t worry. I’m not blaming you.” He obviously saw what Liya was thinking.

Lowering his head and looking at the girl in front of him who was only fifteen or sixteen years old, Yu Bu’s expression relaxed and he smiled.

“Liya, tell me about Thunder Town. For example, the taxes in the territory, and… well, the remuneration of each of your servants.”

“Ah! Okay, my lord!” Liya stopped immediately.

She looked at Yu Bu, hesitated for a moment, and then began to talk about some rules set by the previous lord for the people.

When Yu Bu heard that the town’s tax revenue had reached 70 percent, his brows furrowed.

When he heard that every servant in the castle, including the butler Old Mike, was paid ten copper coins a day, Yu Bu became even more speechless.

Although he is now in a foreign place, Yu Bu also knows the gold coin conversion of the continent where the Kingdom of Thorns is located.

Roughly 1 gold coin is equal to 100 silver coins, which is equal to 10,000 copper coins.

10,000 copper coins!

“These servants don’t even have a silver coin a day? And they are willing to come here to work?”

Yu Bu was speechless. Even when he was the Baron of Fengming Town, every servant in the manor could receive a salary of eight silver coins a day!

Don’t be fooled by the small amount of silver coins.

That’s a little more than two gold coins in a month!

This amount of money would allow an ordinary family to live a wealthy life for a long time.

But the Thunder Town is in a terrible state.

What’s more, there are the life-threatening taxes.

No wonder the fat baron was in a hurry to find someone to sell his territory to.

If my wallet wasn’t full, I would have been dragged down by this small town.

After a pause, Yu Bu turned around to look when he saw that Liya beside him was getting nervous again.

“Liya, when Old Mike comes back, ask me to come see me.”

Liya quickly bowed her head: “Okay, Master.”

Time flies by so fast.

Soon, half an hour had passed.

The servants cleaned the entire castle so clean and tidy that some places were sparkling.
