MTL - My British Empire-Chapter 36 The terrible of the whip

  Chapter 36 The Scariness of the Whip

  Plant ash is a kind of fertilizer that is widely used in rural areas. It is not only cheap and easy to use, but also very easy to get. As long as you are not a lazy person in the countryside, almost every household will have it.

  Plant ash is the ashes formed after burning firewood. It is a quick-acting potassium fertilizer with a loose texture. It generally contains 5% to 15% of available potassium, and also contains calcium, magnesium, sulfur, phosphorus, and iron. Plant ash is mainly used as potassium fertilizer in agricultural production. It also has various functions such as cold protection, sterilization, inhibition of pests and diseases, promotion of strong crop stems, and enhancement of crop stress resistance.

  Of course, this is one of the few fertilization methods that Edward knows. This is what Edward knew when he was working with his grandparents when he was a child. After he was in school, he never did farm work again.

  As soon as Edward thought of the ashes, he thought of his family members far away, and his mood began to sink. Howard saw His Majesty the King, and consciously left the study, leaving Edward alone in the study with his head bowed and meditating.

  Howard left the study and went straight to Lucy and Luna's house. Looking at the dilapidated mud house and the dirt road eroded by the rain, he avoided the urge to knock on the door.

   "Old Jack! Come out!" Howard shouted with all his strength, but unfortunately his voice was not loud and no one heard him. After all, I am used to being pampered, and my body is weak, so the sound I make is relatively small.

   "Old Jack! Old Jack! Old Jack!" Howard held back his gentlemanly self-cultivation and yelled like a commoner, which made the fragile butler almost collapse in his heart.

  At this time, Little Jack, who was eating, heard some vague calls with keen ears, as if calling his father, and the voice seemed to be from Butler Howard.

   "Dad! Someone is calling you outside the door!" Seemingly knowing that he might be scolded for disturbing his father's meal, he added, "It seems that the butler is calling you!"

  Old Jack, who was eating, expressed anger at his son's behavior of interrupting his meal, but when he heard that the respected butler was calling him, he quickly lost his job and ran out in a hurry.

  The wife who was also eating at the side knew the importance of the matter, and put away the leftover bread he ate, and prepared to leave it for him to eat when he came back!

  Butler Howard felt that his throat was almost hoarse from shouting, and the dilapidated house still remained silent, as if the words he shouted did not exist.

At this time, the housekeeper regretted it in his heart. He just wanted to show his respect to Old Jack, to be precise, to show his respect to sisters Luna. .

   At this moment, Old Jack opened the poor wooden door to ease the embarrassment of Butler Howard. This is also a sacrifice to maintain a gentleman's demeanor!

   Seeing Old Jack finally come out, Butler Howard heaved a sigh of relief, took out a white handkerchief from his pocket, wiped his forehead carefully, and regained his composure.

   Look, that gentleman Howard is back again.

"Master Steward! How can I bother you to come here in person?" Old Jack has been a supervisor for several months, and he is no longer that stupid serf who only knows how to work. What orders?"

  Howard nodded noncommittally, did not answer Old Jack's question, and gave orders directly.

   "Old Jack, you gather all the people now, whether they are men or women, as long as they can walk, call me together!"

"You don't need to do any heavy work, just let you collect weeds for our King Edward, the more the better!" Howard knew what old Jack was going to ask, so he said it first, he didn't want to stay in this filthy place for too long time.

   "Okay! That's it, go get busy!" Howard couldn't stay any longer, and hurriedly evacuated, not forgetting to turn his head to remind Old Jack.

  Old Jack can't understand the delicate problems of those adults, isn't it just some mud and excrement?

What? excrement? Damn it! Old Jack couldn't help cursing when he saw the yellow-brown thing on the sole of his straw sandals, and he couldn't help becoming irritable.

"Oh! God! Damn Jack, didn't I tell you to stay away from home before pulling? I think you deserve a beating again!" Old Jack yelled at Jack who was eating in the house, and then rubbed on the weeds , trying to wipe it clean.

  Jack, who was eating, buried his head in the black bread soaked in water, without saying a word. The mother next to him just smiled and stroked Little Jack's head without saying a word. Little Laimie saw his brother being scolded, so he couldn't help but go over and grab his hand to comfort him.

   "Hey! Sean, call your family who can run, and gather at the drying yard!" "Hal! Bring your family who can run, and gather at the drying yard!"…

  Old Jack used the artificial system to shout from house to house, because the distance was not far, and within ten minutes, twenty-three serf families had gathered at the grain drying yard.

  Old Jack stood in the middle of the drying yard, surrounded by his neighbors, all of whom looked at him with respect, including his two little guys and his wife.

"Everyone, our lord, His Majesty Edward ordered us to collect weeds for him, the more the better! This is our honor! We should use all our strength to complete the task!" Old Jack's words were full of Resolute, "If anyone is lazy, don't blame me for whipping him with a whip!"

   As he spoke, he shook the leather whip in his hand, which was often used by Butler Howard to punish disobedient serfs.

  Of course, this group of serfs have lived in the manor for generations. The disobedient ones have already been destroyed by humanity, and the obedient ones left behind are all obedient! This whip has not been used in almost ten years, but its deterrent effect is still quite sufficient.

  When everyone around saw this leather whip, they couldn't help but think of the horror of the leather whip they had heard from their parents. They nodded in unison, showing fearful expressions.

  Little Jack knew that his father would not whip him with a leather whip, but he was still afraid deep in his heart.

   "Hey! Jack! Do you remember our secret base?" "Of course I do, we often go to play!"

  Jack was baffled by his little friend Mir's question, and he didn't know why he asked the question knowingly.

   "Hey! Don't you notice that there are a lot of long weeds there? What are they called reeds?"

   "It seems to be called reed!" After Mir's reminder, Jack remembered that there were many reeds near his and Mir's small base.

"In this way, the two of us can go there to play for a while, and then we can move a lot of reeds away, and your father won't find out!" Mir whispered furtively in Jack's ear, with an expression on his face. Unspeakably happy.

"That's it! I'll take Lemmy, and you take your sister Wei Na!" "Okay, but keep them secret!" "Of course!" Jack promised very readily, thinking of the lack of work, he still You can play, Jack immediately forgot how powerful the whip is.

   Thanks to the wretched, Tianyi sword, for your support, this is a big reward for Orange Ci!
