When night was about to fall, Wu Qingchen sat at the castle restaurant. Zi Yuge Pavilion om

The dinner is about to begin.

Whether it is the feudal society on earth, the medieval world, or the banquets, there is no doubt that they are very important occasions that pay great attention to etiquette.

An important form that reflects etiquette is hierarchical treatment.

For example, when Wu Qingchen was having a meal on his journey:

The escorts had bowls, but the captives had no bowls;

The entourage could surround the dining table, and the captives had to stand far away;

The serf had two bowls and ate them while standing;

The police officer, the sender, the cowherd helped the cowherd with three bowls, and they squatted to eat;

Grace, Longcorn had four bowls and sat on the stones that were moved over to eat;

Wu Qingchen had five bowls and sat on the flattest stone to eat.

If there is a bowl or not, how many bowls are there? If there is a position, where can I sit? If there is a position, whether to recite something, how many different treatments will be given in memorizing it. When you gather together, it will fully demonstrate the person's position in the organization.

The arrangement of the castle restaurant is undoubtedly the same idea:

His Excellency Baron Akford, undoubtedly entrenched at the front of the dining table.

On both sides of his left and right, the Baroness and the Baron's eldest son were respectively seated.

Next are the two civil and military chiefs, Akford Chief, and Akford Chief Guard.

Next, it is the turn of the heads of the three core areas: agricultural officials, forest officials and horse officials.

Then there were second-line officials such as the head of the attendant, the head of the Dazhuang, the commander, and the second son of the baron and the third son.

Further back, near the end, low-level officials such as Garucha, Busser, Makur, and Dog Affairs Officer were crowded together.

As for Hillbaut, the messenger, and a low-level attendant like Xiaozhuangtou, there is no place for them at all. He can only stand next to the dining table and serve as the background.

They are not the lowest rating in the restaurant yet.

At the edge of the restaurant, the farthest from the Baron of Akford, five inferior people knelt in a row against the wall.

They were agricultural officials. When the forest officials were summoned by the commander to return to the castle, they took back the cowherd, the cowherd's eldest son, and the three fathers and sons who worked hard to seize the "try to move the honeycomb" work. They were working hard to fight for this once-in-a-lifetime craftsman.

Wu Qingchen's position is in the third sequence, close to the farming officials, forest officials and horse officials.

Obviously, Wu Qingchen's position is quite forward. - Looking forward, second only to the chief civil and military chief like the chief guard, looking backward, he is even better than the second son of the Baron and the third son.

Theoretically, Wu Qingchen is sitting at a slightly higher position now - it is considered a perfect match if he is Pastor Praia - but there are more than 20 people present, and no one expressed dissatisfaction.

First, this is the seat designated by the Baron himself, and no fool is willing to make the Baron angry about this little thing.

Secondly, Wu Qingchen is not a permanent resident of Fort Akford, and also serves as a "beekeeper" and a "priest". He spans two major systems of territory and church. It is slightly out of line and not too much.

Third, even if there are no two points above, with the good news from Wu Qingchen/Laus just sent over, treating plowing oxen, moving honeycombs, and intervening in clustering, as long as these three points have half the effects described in the letter, they can increase the entire Akford yield by at least 20%!

Increase production by 20%! If even the achievements of Wu Qingchen/Laus are not worthy of their current seats, wouldn’t the other officials present be even more likely to roll to the wall and kneel in a row with the five inferior people?

After seating and before serving the meal, Baron Akford briefly introduced his wife, eldest son, as well as the chief supervisor and the chief guard to Wu Qingchen.

Wu Qingchen stood up and bowed to greet him one by one.

Next, the agricultural officer who had contact with Wu Qingchen began to introduce other officials to Wu Qingchen.

According to Pastor Praia's teachings, when he introduced the Lin Shiguan and the Horse Officer, Wu Qingchen stood up again and nodded to each other with the heads of the two core departments.

Next, Wu Qingchen sat back to his seat and began to accept the bows of other ministers, including the second son of the Baron and the third son.

At this moment, nominally, the entire Akford leader, regardless of relative independence, did not have a few knights coming. Wu Qingchen's status was already tied for sixth place with the Agricultural Officer, the Forest Officer, the Horse Officer and others.

The ministers who ranked below Wu Qingchen did not mind at all.

Even every minister bows sincerely and is enthusiastic when talking. Who can sit here, who doesn’t have a few oxen need medical insurance, and who doesn’t have a few pieces of land needs honeycomb production to increase?

——Even if their oxen are healthy and their land yields are high, but as the attendant said to the listener: Who has few poor relatives in the family?

Under such thoughts, the topics that everyone talks about are of course closely centered on farming, honeycombs, and grouping.

Of course, there is a more important "change tax into fees".

farm, forest, horse, water, guard, servant, farm head

There are nearly ten positions in a row, and even "dogs" have special leaders. In terms of the feudal estate economy with agriculture as the core, the management of Fort Akford seems to have been set up quite well, but compared with the truly stable and mature regime, Fort Akford lacks a crucial position: tax officer.

Tax Officer, this position is so important, it is related to the connection between all upper and lower levels, and to the balance of all income and expenses.

Because this position is so important, Akford leader dared not hand over such a lifeline to a separate subordinate.

Instead, he chose to distribute its duties to all the ministers present.

As the core of the ruling of 13 villages, the busiest and most important task of all the ministers here is to collect taxes. Whenever the tax collection season comes, no matter what aspects of their daily responsibility, they must be put down and rushed to the village assigned by the Baron, and do their best to complete the tax collection work.

When talking about the troubles, difficulties, pain and dangers encountered when levying taxes, anyone here can talk about them for a day and a night.

Because of this, when they heard the idea of ​​"changing taxes into fees" mentioned by Wu Qingchen/Laus, the ministers who had been tortured at the scene immediately realized the great significance of this idea.

"Never have to catch those damn rats in the middle of the night!"

"Whether to hand over wheat or not, let those bastards decide for themselves. No one will stab me with a feces fork, right?"

"All allow part of the debt is allowed to be paid in the next year? Your Excellency Loss, your teacher is indeed kind, Mr. Baron, I think we can also try this one."

"There are also people who can't hand over the honeycomb wheat."

""

From the enthusiastic discussions and extremely excited expressions, it can be seen that the idea of ​​"changing taxes into fees" has undoubtedly won the great favor of almost all the ministers present.

While talking to everyone, Wu Qingchen discovered the real benefits of the seat where he sat besides accepting the bow.

The light is getting darker and darker.

Around the relatively open restaurant, there were more than a dozen lampstands hanging. Several low-level attendants came over and put beeswax into several lampstands near the baron's seat to light them. The gradually darkened restaurant became bright again.

The baron, the baron, the chief steward, and the eldest son were clearly illuminated. Wu Qingchen's position was still in a brighter state, which allowed others to see the expression on his face.

A little further away, you can only see a dark shadow.

Of course, the so-called welfare does not refer to these little light.

After answering another minister's divergent thinking about "changing taxes into fees", a servant standing at the door of the restaurant opened the wooden door. A long row of nanny and aunt walked into the restaurant one after another with pottery jars, silver plates, wooden barrels, baskets and other types of utensils.

"Oh? So cough so rich."

Looking at the number of nannies and aunts who walked into the restaurant and the size of the containers in their hands, Baron Akford was obviously surprised.

"Well, that's fine."

After a full two seconds of stunnedness, Akford nodded approvingly to the attendant who led the restaurant: "Norton, you are determined and well prepared."

"Your will."

The attendant bent down slightly, bowed to the Baron's praise, and then pointed in the direction of Wu Qingchen: "I hope our guests, Lord Los/More, will like it."

Can you like it?

I like you to be paralyzed!

Looking at the nanny's meal delivery group that was still entering the restaurant, Wu Qingchen clenched his fists hard.

———————

After about two minutes of delay.

Earth.

"I like your sister! Fuck you numb!"

"Who is this bitch with a eunuch-looking face?"

"Damn it! No matter how complete the plan is, it can't cover up the brainlessness!"

As the nanny's meal delivery group entered, several low-level servants quickly opened the wooden box next to the restaurant, and took out a lot of plates, plates, knives, forks, and spoons from it, and began to distribute tableware to everyone.

There are etiquettes when allocating seats, and there are certainly etiquettes when distributing tableware:

As the sixth-ranked senior official in Akford, Wu Qingchen's treatment is of course quite good.

A silver fork, a silver spoon, and a sharp knife. - Compared with the next level of iron tableware and the next level of wooden tableware, it is full of grades.

Five bowls and eight plates. - Compared with the next level four bowls and six plates, and the next level two bowls and three plates, the portion is full.

Full of portions

Full of weight!

"Sure enough!" "I'm going to cheat!" "I'll give you a blow!"

Looking at the tableware that almost filled Wu Qingchen's face, countless people on earth roared.

There is no other reason. Every Earthling who is watching the video at this moment can be seen in the loop playback of the close-up screenshot in the upper right corner:

When the nanny's meal delivery group appeared, Wu Qingchen's face flashed for about half a second, mixed with a look of astonishment, dullness, constipation, and a small action that could not help but touch the lower left corner of the outer robe.
