Pris was searched again before entering the living room.This time the body search was much more detailed. Every place where the knife or dagger could be hidden from top to bottom was touched, and even the soles of the shoe were not spared.

Then he met the four princes of Greycastle, the lord of the border town, and the new Western Frontier, Roland Wimbledon, who defeated the Duke's coalition in the hall.

The prince has long gray hair that symbolizes the blood of the royal family, and his face looks very young, at most in his twenties.

He didn't tie his hair, nor did he wear any crown.

The fingers holding the quill were slender, and likewise, there was no jewelry ring or ring in his hand, and even bracelets were not that rare among nobles.

Prisdisa, the knight of the Elk Earl?Roland leaned against the chair and looked through the list in his hand.

Yes, Your Highness.Pris said with one knee.

It is hard for him to believe that such a person who can't even see a beard on his face can lead a group of miners and hunters to defeat Duke Ryan, who has been entrenched in the West for a long time.

Are you literate?What about reading and writing?Stand up and answer.

I can do it, Your Highness, this is the most basic requirement of a knight. Pris stood up slowly and suddenly realized that some old knights were enthroned and the Gray Castle had not yet become popular in both civil and military affairs. He added, I mean, a new batch of knights.

In the past three decades, fewer and fewer knights have been enthroned for their military power and military achievements, and other considerations have also increased.

If you don’t know how to hold up your pen and write or read official documents, it will be difficult for the lord to be attracted to you.

The rise of outstanding young people like the Linfeng Knight in the royal capital and the Dawn of the West has even pushed the knight's requirements to a new level.

So now that after becoming an apprentice knight, the first thing you need to learn is to read and recognize words. The level is higher and you also need to be proficient in various etiquettes.

But Pris doesn't understand why His Highness asked himself this question?

Very good, the prince nodded, then I will make a verdict now.

This sentence made him hold his breath in an instant.

You have two choices. One is to go to Beipo Mine to mine for 20 years to redeem your sins. The other is to become a teacher and teach my leaders to learn to read and write.Miners are not slaves, and they are paid, and they can rest for three days a month.Teachers not only have salaries, but also have free housing, and can rest for two days a week.However, if you choose the latter, you must work until you are fifty years old before you can give up this position.Don't worry, even if you stop working, your salary will be paid as usual.

After hearing this, Pris breathed a little relieved, and as he had expected, he did not execute or exile.

But these two options puzzled him. The miner sounded like a coolie, but His Highness said there were still compensation and... vacations?

As for teachers, aren’t only knowledgeable people able to take responsibility?

He only knows how to read and write.

And what does it mean to teach and lead the people? Does Your Highness want to cultivate these civilians as nobles?

The most important thing is that neither of them mentioned how to deal with their territory.

Pris looked up at the prince and asked carefully: Dear Your Highness, I wonder if my territory will be...

From the moment you raise your sword to me, your territory no longer belongs to you, Roland said bluntly, on this point, I reached an agreement with the heirs of the Elk Family, who will convert the property in your territory into a golden dragon to compensate you, and after you make your choice, the new Earl will send the compensation together with your family to the Border Town, so that he can free up new places to recruit knights.

Pris' heart sank. His territory was just a house, a group of chickens and ducks and fish in the pond. How much compensation can these things be worth?

The new earl will definitely cut another knife on it... It is hard to say whether there are thirty golden dragons or not.

As soon as the count died, his heir abandoned himself like this, and this ruthlessness disappointed Pris.

As an accomplice of the rebels, this is a very slight verdict.Roland paused, and then, what's the point of regret for a bare territory?Whether you choose to go to the mine or be a teacher, you can save the reward for purchasing land in the border town.

Hearing this sentence, Pris regained his energy. He would definitely not consider mining in the mine. As for another option...

Your Highness, I wonder what the teacher’s salary is?

For junior teachers, 20 silver wolfs are added every month, 5 each year, until they are fifty years old.Salary after the age of fifty is calculated based on the maximum increase.By the way, this right cannot be inherited and cannot be transferred.

Pris calculated a little bit and found that there were nearly 3 Golden Dragons in a year, and it could increase year by year. In just four or five years, it would almost catch up with the revenue of his own territory.

Your Highness, what does junior teacher mean?… Are there any other categories of teachers?

Of course there is.Junior teachers only teach reading and writing, while intermediate and advanced teachers teach knowledge in various disciplines, and everything is included.As long as you have a unique skill that is beneficial to the development of border towns, you can do it.Roland sat up straight, what, do you have any skills you are good at?I don't need horse riding and sword skills.

However, I am not good at these, Pris thought.

He hesitated for a while before speaking: Your Highness, is it a matter of raising chickens and ducks?I'm also good at fishing.As soon as he said that, he regretted it. This is not a skill. He can survive by throwing them in the wild. Many nobles raise cats and birds, and no one has ever raised this thing specifically.

As for fishing...it's the same as hunting, it can only be considered a personal hobby.

Unexpectedly, Your Highness became interested in the first half of the sentence, Oh?How to raise it, let’s hear it.

Pris had to bite his teeth and said: Well, based on my experience in raising the territory, compared to completely stocking, they can grow faster every day, and if the grain is mixed with sand, it will also save food.It is best to set up a shed in a ventilated place to shade the sun, block the rain and avoid the cold.Especially when summer is hot, the hen will most likely stop laying eggs without a shed.Putting straw in winter can prevent the flock from freezing to death.In addition, if you feed some small fish every month, the chickens will rarely get sick. Of course, cleaning up the chicken manure is also very important...

At the end of the day, he found that His Highness the Prince actually laughed.

Yes, it seems that the nobles in the Western Front are not useless.

Your Highness?Pris was unable to understand the meaning of the other party's words for a moment.

Fortunately, Roland Wimbledon quickly relieved his concerns. I will send someone to buy a batch of chickens and ducks from the Changge Fortress, and at the same time, I will set you a piece of land west of the border, so that you can raise all these poultry.If done well, teach the breeding method.The salary is calculated based on intermediate teachers. Starting from 50 silver wolfs per month in the first year, an increase of 10 per year.Of course, if it fails, the North Slope Mine Cave is your only choice.
