Chapter 20: The Province of the Family

 Edward's bossy remark choked Howard right out of his mouth.

 That's right! He's the owner of the estate. He's the one who's in the red. What am I worried about? It's a waste of time.

 Howard butler thought about it, but finally stopped the words to be, the heart is still a little pain, smothered in Edward's side, straight look at Edward, do not say a word!

 "Please! Howard, I'm confident, you have to believe me!" Edward couldn't stand being stared at by the butler.

 It would be fine if it was a beautiful woman, but when a grown man in his thirties looks at you with a sad look in his eyes, you have a sense of daydreaming.

 Edward has a better understanding of Howard's mood. It was as if a person who normally looked like he knew nothing, suddenly one day to an English teacher you don't teach first, let me do it, I can teach better than you.

 When this teacher tried to fight back, he was like the whole school is mine, don't you bb.

 Well, that teacher's feelings are what Howard's steward is feeling now at this time.

 If he took his place, Edward's probably cursed in his stomach hundreds of times.

 However, Edward has his own difficulties, without the use of power, how many people listen to his explanation and do what they think is wrong without hesitation? It is better to explain than not to explain at all!

 "My dear Lord Steward, don't worry!" Edward consoled Howard's steward who was whining, "The crown has a new source of wealth now, lovely gold coins filled the granaries, and now our grain is nowhere to be found!"

 Edward's exaggerated words did not make the Lord Steward laugh, but instead made his brow furrow even more!

 Where does Edward know that Howard is actually not worried about the loss of food in the manor, the entire royal family does not know how much land is planted with food, there will not be a lack of food in this one manor.

 Rather, he was worried about Edward destroying his carefully planned plans for the development of the estate, like destroying the snowman that the child had piled up, filled with his heart and soul ah!

 Edward took the time to catch a break from the conversation and let his overwhelmed body catch its breath.

 Edward braced himself for the desire to rest and slowly made his way to the ridge, looking at the fallow land "My dear steward, don't you think it's a waste to harvest only this grain from such a large land?"

 "My honorable King, are you doubting my management?" Howard raised his voice all at once, with a touch of anger in it, and an unaccountable expression hanging over his face.

 "No! No! NO! I don't have any questions about your stewardship!" Edward was very calm and collected in the face of the butler's rhetorical questions, and was not at all fazed.

 "I'm just worried about the current food production!" Edward's words suddenly carried a hint of sentimentality.

 "Your Majesty the King! I don't know what caused your worry!" Howard quickly calmed his inner turmoil, and his voice night become calm, offering his loyalty at the right time, with a hint of excitement revealed in his words.

 "If there's anything I need to do, I'm at your service! Your Majesty!"

 "Oh! Howard, your loyalty has caused the sun in the sky to lose its light!" Edward's complimentary words rang out at the right time, praising the butler's loyal heart. Though the truth was not known.

 "But please tell me how many families there are on the estate now, and how many children!" Actually, Howard had already done that once, but there was one more to come at this point in time.

 "Aye! His Majesty the King!" Once again, Steward Howard resumed his austere demeanor.

 "We have a family on our estate, a young boy and girl who are not yet married, and a child who is not yet able to support himself!"

 "So it would be almost like raising three children per household?" "Yes, Your Majesty!"

 "Then you're telling me how many people were in the entire Windsor estate ten years ago!"

 "Eh ... probably someone!" The butler pondered for a moment and came up with a vague number.

 "Howard, think about it, the population on the estate has almost doubled in just ten years, what about all of England?" Edward arrived at this with a hint of excitement in his tone.

 "The population has doubled while neither land nor acreage has grown much, so won't the price of grain go through the roof!"

 "Think about how big a business opportunity this is! If we use my method, every acre of our land will increase its yield by five layers, how much income will this bring to the royal family?"

 Edward's words managed to bring Howard's butler generation into the fantasy stage.

 I have fifty acres of land, and if I added five layers to each acre, at pennies per pound, it would almost bring in more pounds per year!

 The power of money also impressed the always strict Howard butler, so that he also began to seriously cooperate with Edward.

 At this moment, in the straw house where the serfs live in the manor, a house that looks cleaner and tidier than the surrounding mud and grass houses is full of people coming and going.

 Jack gleefully held the bird's egg he had just pulled from the tree, full of longing for the evening's fragrant boiled egg with his five-year-old brother, Lemmy, as he ran happily on short legs in the direction of his house.

 "Jack! Hurry back, your sister is home from the palace!" On the way Jack ran into his neighbor's partner, Mir, who explained to Jack as he tugged and pulled him in the direction of Jack's house.

 "Hey! Mir, let's see if you can outrun me!" Knowing that her sisters would not be able to resist Mir's slow pace when they returned, Jack hastily broke away from Mir's hand.

 "Jay, Jack! Who in the whole of Windsor Manor doesn't know you monkey-Jack, who can outrun you!" Mil panted, following Jack helplessly in the background.

 In less than a moment Jack saw a score of grown-ups gathered around the door of his house, exchanging pleasantries, and now and then showing some expression of pleasure and envy.

 "Ah! Come ye and see who's come back!" The people seemed to see him, and swarmed toward him in unison, surrounding Jack in the center of the crowd.

 "Jack, don't forget Uncle Rick when you get ahead." "Don't forget Aunt Bella!" ...... 

 There was a c please sound that wrapped around Jack, who was completely confused. 

 Ignoring the compliments of the crowd, Jack hastily broke away from the crowd and went into his house. 

 Just as I opened the door, I saw two teenage scantily clad women chatting happily with their parents. 

 "It's Jack, isn't it, come on over here!" Luna summoned the wandering Jack when she saw that he seemed a little embarrassed. 

 Jack slowly walked over to his brother and looked at his two sisters with a sheepish look on his face.
