Chapter 28 - The tax officer of the viscount

When Claire gave that impassioned speech, Robin listened carefully from below, and also raised his arms and shouted along with the people.

After the speech, Robin was a little restless when he got home. He always felt that a blood was boiling in his body, which had been burning since Claire started to speak.

"What's the matter? It's been like this since you came back from a trip." Robin's wife Linda saw that her husband had something on his mind.

Robin glanced at his beautiful wife, gently held up each other's hands, and said gently, "It's okay, maybe it's too hot today, it's a little hot."

"I don't know you yet." Linda clenched Robin's hand with both hands, "I will support you in whatever you want to do, whether you want to serve the Viscount, I also think he is quite good... …"

"Don't say it, we agreed before, and we will no longer work for the nobles." Robin interrupted his wife's words.

Linda was silent for a while before replying, "Okay, no matter what decision you make, I will listen to you."

This night, Robin felt that a fire was burning in his heart, as if it was going to burn outside through his heart. Before going to bed, he remembered what Claire said before.

"But it's unrealistic to rely on me alone... I hope you can join me in building this home that belongs to us, are you willing?"

...

Robin suddenly woke up from the dream. Although he couldn't remember what kind of dream he had, he vaguely saw the figure of Lord Viscount in the dream. At this moment, he felt that he had to do something!

So he turned over.

"What's wrong?" Linda was also awakened.

Robin on the opposite side remained silent, and spoke after a while.

"I'll go to the Viscount's Mansion."

After speaking, he turned over and got up, took out his most decent clothes and put it on, opened the door and walked out.

"It's only four o'clock, you can sleep for a while..." Linda shouted from behind.

But Robin, who walked out of the house, couldn't hear it anymore. Even if he heard it, he couldn't bear the choice in his heart at this moment. The blood in his heart was completely burned at this moment. Robin felt that this would be the best thing he had ever done. The right choice, there is no one!

...

"Master, someone has come to apply for a job application."

Claire just walked down from the sixth floor when she heard Reagan's words.

"Bring it here and have a look, and prepare a breakfast for others by the way, and interview at the restaurant." After that, Claire went to wash up.

In the restaurant, Robin, who was sitting down, was a little nervous looking at the food in front of him. He was also someone who had seen the world, but he had never seen food like this before, and the aroma was still wafting into his nose. Come on, the saliva can't stop flowing.

But before Claire came up, he was too embarrassed to start eating first, he could only watch the delicious food on that table and swallow.

"Da da da."

Hearing the sound of footsteps approaching, Robin looked up, and immediately stood up the moment he saw Claire.

"Your Excellency the Viscount, Gui'an!"

Claire returned a kind smile, "Sit down."

After the two parties were seated, Claire looked at the dark circles under the eyes of the other and asked first, "Your face is not very good, isn't it?"

Robin scratched his head in embarrassment. He squatted at the Viscount's door for two or three hours before waiting for Reagan to get up, "Thank you for your concern, Lord Viscount, but it's alright, your speech yesterday was so exciting that I couldn't sleep. That's why this caused the complexion to deteriorate."

"Oh." Claire nodded, "Let's eat first, and chat while eating."

"Okay...Okay!" Robin seemed a little nervous, but he still picked up the cutlery and dealt with the food in front of him.

The moment the piece of meat entered his mouth, the delicious food was much better than the food he had eaten before!

After hurriedly stuffing several pieces of meat into his mouth, Robin finally remembered his purpose for coming here.

He straightened his body and said with a serious face: "Lord Viscount, I'm here to apply for the post of clerk in the announcement you issued earlier."

"Well, do you all meet the above recruitment requirements?" Claire asked.

"Of course, I can read, and not only can do arithmetic, but I have also worked as an accountant before, which should be able to meet the needs of the Viscount's clerk."

Accounting? Claire's eyes lit up. He didn't expect that there was such a talented person in Nafu City.

However, he didn't rush to agree, but instead asked: "Since you meet the recruitment requirements of the document, why don't you come for an interview when I just issued the recruitment document?"

Robin was silent for a while, reluctant to speak.

"It's okay, I'll just ask casually, it's okay not to say it," Claire said.

"No, it's just that it's not easy to speak." Robin explained: "I used to be an accountant in the Earl of Riggin. To be honest, our family lived there very well at that time, not to mention Jinyi. Jade food is much better than most people. However, Earl Riggin has repeatedly issued decrees and demanded taxation, and many people in the territory have died tragically. I couldn't bear it, so I resigned from the position there. I came here after wandering all the way. From then on, I swore that even if I starved to death, I would never serve any nobles again."

"Then why did you suddenly change your mind? I'm also a noble in your mouth."

"Lord Viscount, you are different." Robin's eyes lit up at the moment, "The first thing you did when you came back was tax reduction and exemption. I was moved at the time, but I remembered the oath I made, so I didn't come at that time. Yes, but your speech yesterday really struck my heart with every sentence. You said that it was unrealistic to rely on you alone and that you needed our help, and you asked if we would like to help you.

I have thought about it for a long time, and indeed, as you said, it is very difficult to rely on you alone, so I am willing to be your help, as you said yesterday, to build our home together. "

"Aren't you afraid that I'm just a nobleman who can only tell lies?" Claire squinted and smiled.

Robin became excited: "No, those nobles who are high above are too lazy to lie to the people, but you are different. After you return to the Viscounty, everyone's life has indeed improved. I am Yuna's neighbor, I also heard from her when you weren't here just now, that you helped her heal her mother, and all these actions show that you are a real good lord who loves his people like his son."

Claire smiled, stood up, walked in front of Robin, and stretched out her right hand.

Robin was dazed for a moment, and he also stretched out his right hand and shook it.

Claire said softly: "Then... you are welcome to join us! Now I appoint you as the tax officer of the Viscount Griffin!"

Robin was excited when he heard this. He originally wanted to help Claire as a help, but he didn't expect to become a tax officer? !

Although he was shocked, he subconsciously knelt down and said, "Thank you, Lord Viscount!"

Claire smiled~www.mtlnovel.com~ turned her head to look at Regan, and said with a smile: "In this way, don't you have the manpower? He'll leave it to you, it's time to investigate that administrator."

Saying that, a red light flashed in Claire's eyes, "Check out how much money he's embezzling!"

...

At night, it had been five days since the last transaction. Claire was lying on the reclining chair on the top floor as usual, looking at the blue moon through the glass window.

I habitually opened the trading panel, which was a bit like my previous life. Obviously, there was nothing to do but habitually open the phone screen to see if anyone was looking for me.

However, what is different from the past is that this time there has been a change on the trading panel. The trading point that can only appear in a week has magically appeared at this moment.

Claire sat up from the reclining chair in shock, "The time interval has become shorter..."

"What's the reason?!" Claire's brain twirled rapidly, "The only change during this period was that I was promoted to an intermediate-level mage, and my mental power has risen a lot. Is it that mental power is the key to condensing the trading point? Before? When I traded with Chen Han, I heard him say that he can only trade once a year. So it may be because his mental strength is not strong enough that the interval is so long."

After thinking about it, Claire still can't decide whether his idea is correct or not. After all, there is too little information, but it is a good thing that the time interval for obtaining transaction points is shortened.

Claire didn't make the transaction immediately. Anyway, the time was shortened, and he didn't have any urgent need for a transaction at the moment, so he should wait until the next time and save two transaction points. friend.
