"Don't worry! These are only for internal use within the castle," Liu Feng chuckled lightly. The things he brought from Earth were all first utilized internally.
What he released to the outside were simplified versions. For instance, he was planning to make paper, but the paper produced wouldn't be very white or as resilient.
However, once released, Liu Feng believed it would be instantly snapped up. To implement all this work, he would need a lot of manpower.
"That's good!" Mina let out a sigh of relief. She picked up the contract and began reading. Halfway through, she exclaimed in surprise, "Huh? A monthly salary of one silver coin, four days of rest per month, free meals and accommodation, and small benefits on holidays???"
"Right!" Liu Feng nodded. He had copied some corporate contracts from Earth and made modifications to create a contract suitable for hiring people in this different world.
Mina put down the contract, her face serious, her water-blue eyes sharp. She slapped the contract and exclaimed loudly, "Liu Feng, sir!!! You're squandering your wealth. For someone like me, a monthly salary of 200 copper coins is enough. Moreover, I already have five military knives. One military knife is worth several gold coins. You don't even need to give me a salary, just provide meals and accommodation. Of course, there must be refined rice congee."
"Also, days off and such are unnecessary. Wherever you go, I must follow. That's my duty. Small gifts are acceptable, though..."
Mina pointed to the clauses in the contract, rejecting each one Liu Feng proposed, acting like a meticulous housekeeper.
Liu Feng raised his eyebrows, reached out to calm the excited cat-eared girl, and smiled, "Such contracts are only for our own people!"
"Uh..." Mina's face instantly turned red. Her cat ears flattened, and her tail curled up. She was flustered.
"Wh-what... I... I'll just sign it," Mina said, her face red, stumbling over her words.
"Let's go. Let's have breakfast first. There's a lot to do today."
Liu Feng looked at Mina who had signed her name, then put the contract into a large safe and gave one of the keys to Mina.
"Okay!" Mina carefully took the key and found a string to hang it around her neck.
She had just seen the safe, which contained many documents and precious items.
............
At this moment, outside the city gate, a family entered—six strong men and two women.
This was the Noah Ben family, whom Liu Feng had instructed Baff to notify yesterday. So, before dawn, they had hurried over from their village.
Baff had departed yesterday evening and stayed at the Noah Ben family's house, accompanying them into the city this morning.
Noah Ben was a man in his forties with neatly combed hair, a serious square face, full of tenacity and solemnity. He wore a linen shirt.
He was now sitting on a cart, chatting with Baff, occasionally letting out hearty laughter.
"Noah Ben, your family is in for some good luck. I didn't expect you to know Liu Feng, sir," Baff said enviously.
He knew the Noah Ben family was formidable, a well-known family in this territory, each one a capable man. It was said that Noah Ben was once a true knight.
"We met by chance. I just didn't expect Liu Feng to become a nobleman," Noah Ben said with a grin, feeling amazed. He didn't expect the young man he had saved by chance to become a nobleman in the territory.
"Hmm... I could see that Liu Feng was no ordinary person from the start. In this western region, which family's son would have such fair skin? He's well-educated and courteous, practically a nobleman. I reckon his ancestors were nobles."
The middle-aged woman sitting beside them shouted loudly. She was Noah Ben's wife, May.
After speaking, she glanced at her five sons, each with broad shoulders and thick waists, none of them looking like scholars.
"Ahem..." Noah Ben felt a bit awkward. He knew his wife preferred people with a more refined appearance, but he didn't expect their sons to all grow up looking robust.
Fortunately, his daughter looked like her mother. He looked at his quiet and well-behaved daughter, who was now sitting on the cart, hugging her legs and lost in thought.
"Nicole, what are you thinking about?" Noah Ben asked gently. His youngest daughter was perfect in every way except for being too quiet.
"She's definitely thinking about Liu Feng."
A deep male voice came from the side. It was Noah Ben's eldest son, Noah A, who was currently carrying a wolf on his shoulder. He had hunted it last night and planned to give it to Liu Feng as a congratulatory gift.
"No, I'm not..." Nicole's pretty face turned crimson, and she waved her hands in a fluster, like a little girl caught stealing sugar.
Nicole was a seventeen-year-old girl, the apple of Noah Ben's family's eye. She was very pretty with long flaxen hair.
"Haha... Don't be afraid, it's okay to think about him." May laughed happily and hugged Nicole, saying, "Little Nicole, when the time comes, you can marry Liu Feng. I think he likes you too."
"Ah???" Nicole's face turned bright red, and her eyes almost became spiral-shaped as she buried her head in May's embrace.
"Still shy, that's not good." May teased.
Noah Ben shook his head. His wife loved to tease their children. He hadn't noticed that his sons had slowed down a bit.
"Noah Ben, Baron Liu Feng should be recruiting you to become knights. This is your opportunity."
Baff patted Noah Ben's back and looked at his broken right foot, sighing, "If your foot hadn't been broken, with your skills, you probably would have become a nobleman already."
"Haha... I've let it go. This is the era of the young people now." Noah Ben laughed carelessly, looking at his son with pride in his eyes.
