Qin Yiyi watched as the Ox-Head and Horse-Face worked diligently and affirmed their efforts.
"Although Ox-Head and Horse-Face are a bit ugly, their work attitude is still very good!"
The deer antlers burst into laughter.
Qin Yiyi was very puzzled.
"What are you laughing at, you three are all equally ugly!"
"@#￥%……&"
Sang Er looked at Qin Yiyi. If it weren't for the fact that she was a lord, they would not have been able to tolerate such insults!
Meanwhile, not far from the chaotic territory, on the other side of the lake, within the Viscount's domain, the Viscount, who exploits the working people, is whipping those who cannot pay their taxes.
"Damn idiots, if they can't hand it over, what am I going to use to deliver it to the main city next month?"
The viscount lived a life of luxury, while his men toiled away as laborers.
The viscount was unaware of the resentful looks in the eyes of his men.
Compared to the viscount's territory, Qin Yiyi's territory was much more spacious.
There is a one-hour break at noon, and work ends promptly at 7 p.m. The lord does not like people who work hard and create unnecessary competition!
Qin Yiyi looked at the old craftsman in the territory.
"Not bad. Could you get me a wooden bucket for steaming rice? Make me a big one and a small one. I'll give you an ounce of rice when you make it!"
The old man stood up from the stool and bowed deeply.
"My lord!"
These past two days, the lord has been distributing rice, and everyone's lives have visibly improved. The yellow sand days are almost over, and the lord has even promised that if we work six days, we can have one day off. They are all extremely grateful.
"My lord, once the sandstorm passes, I'll take my grandson and head to the lake to cut wood. I guarantee I'll make you a good bucket. It's an ancestral craft, so please rest assured, my lord!"
Qin Yiyi nodded.
"That's good. When you take the wooden bucket to Sid to register, the slave chief will give you an extra meter or two!"
The old man wanted to decline the offer to do such a small task for the lord without paying rice, but he had a poor little girl of four or five years old at home who couldn't do anything but help out. The little girl didn't get rice, and he had to share a bite of his daily ration with her.
This doesn't mean there's anything wrong with the lord; on the contrary, they are extremely grateful to him and wish their own children could come back and work for him.
Anyway, the treatment they receive working for the viscount next door is definitely not as good as the treatment they receive working for their own lord. No, even if they went to the chaotic area to collect their treatment, it wouldn't be as good as the treatment they receive for working for their own lord!
The sandstorm lasted for three and a half days before gradually receding; it came quickly and went quickly.
Suddenly, a red signal flare shot out from the middle of the sandstorm.
As soon as the red signal flare was fired, the black and white whales and flamingos appeared.
"That's a signal flare from our mercenary group!"
"This is a distress flare!"
After being rested for three days, the black and white whales had recovered at least half of their injuries. As soon as the yellow sand receded, the black and white whales and flamingos rushed towards the location of the signal flare, thinking of rescuing their teammates.
Looking at the empty warehouse, Qin Yiyi decided to drive her old car and take Sid to get more goods again.
Before purchasing the goods, she gave instructions to her three slaves.
"You are not allowed to withhold food from the young and old slaves when I am not here! You are my slaves, and they are my slaves too. If any of my slaves are injured due to your negligence, none of you will be allowed to eat for a week!"
!!
No food allowed for a week!
This is an enormous punishment!
Ox-Head, Horse-Face, and Deer Antlers immediately declared that they would take good care of these slaves!
After threatening Ox-Head and Horse-Face, Qin Yiyi and Xide went to Chaotic Territory.
Having just survived a sandstorm, some people survived while others were gone forever. Qin Yiyi still wrapped herself in a cloak, afraid that someone would discover she was a pure-blooded orc.
After all, Chaos Territory is not like one's own territory.
This trip was to buy seasonings, but buying seasonings and rice is not unusual. Many people cook rice at home, add some soy sauce, and that's their meal.
Therefore, purchasing these items will not attract the attention of others, as long as the quantity is not large.
To avoid alerting anyone, Qin Yiyi wandered around aimlessly for the entire morning, roaming through various markets as if she were genuinely there to shop, buying whatever she could find that was cheap.
In addition to buying 200 jin of rice, she also bought flour and some vegetables.
However, prices in Chaotic Territory were too high. She casually bought some seeds, which already cost her thirty or forty gold coins.
She was astonished by the prices; if it weren't for the two accommodation fees she had already paid, she probably would have run out of gold coins by now!
Qin Yiyi pulled Sid to sit in the tavern for a while longer, listening to gossip while waiting for the person who came to pick up the goods.
"Have you heard? There's been a riot in the Viscount of Silla's territory! It's all because of those damned taxes that are just too much!"
"What's going on? There are riots everywhere in the territory, and people are fleeing out, but it's never safe to stay outside the territory!"
"Hey! You don't know this, do you? We usually stay outside, and on sandy days we just pay to stay overnight in the territory. Many mercenary groups do this! But these days, overnight fees are getting more and more expensive!"
Qin Yiyi listened to the gossip without showing any emotion.
Are there any fleeing orcs?
She gulped down the spicy rum. God knows how rum could taste like that; it was awful.
Her territory is short of people, and she hopes that these fleeing orcs will come to her territory!
but....
She stroked her chin. The fleeing orcs would either have notices posted by the lords of their original territories or be hunted down by them. So coming to her place was a mixed blessing!
More importantly, besides Sid, the only other powerful creatures in her territory are the black and white whales and flamingos; the rest are old, weak, sick, or young.
We need to find a way to attract a group of top-notch combat talents!
She quietly poured the remaining rum from the large glass into Sid's glass.
But Sid simply downed it without changing his expression.
Hiss~
Pureblood orcs are indeed terrifying; they are far beyond the reach of a weak pureblood human like myself!
Sid only realized what was happening after finishing the spicy rum and looked at Qin Yiyi.
"Miss, didn't you want the spicy flavor? Why don't you want it now?"
Qin Yiyi shook her head.
“I think this flavor is more suitable for the brave and invincible Sid!” she said righteously.
Sid chuckled sheepishly, looking somewhat embarrassed.
"Miss, please don't keep praising me, it makes me blush!"
