Chapter 21: The Problem of the Toilet

Jack looked at the two scantily clad sisters in front of him and couldn't help but feel a special heat flow from deep inside, which then spread throughout his body.

 Jack didn't know what it was, just a thought that popped into his brain to become as enviable as his two sisters.

 Dressed in brocade, he returned home with flair and became the subject of conversation in the mouths of his neighbors.

 Only the idea that had just popped up was suddenly washed away by the information coming from his brain.

 His father and mother were serfs, and his whole family, including him, were the king's private property. There was no way he could be honored by the people, and in the future he would only marry a serf and become a man like his father.

 The passion in Jack's eyes came and went quickly, and in an instant peace returned.

 And at that moment Lucy surveyed Jack with great surprise; in the twinkling of an eye the short-legged fellow who had once chased after her had grown to be a half-grown man of ten, and she and her sister had been away from home for five years.

 Luna and Lucy were very much hung up on their parents and brothers whom they had not seen for five years. Just arrived at Windsor Manor could not wait to rest, and hurriedly rushed to the place where they lived at the time.

 Perhaps it was because the two sisters themselves had become His Majesty's maids of honor, and the housekeeper had purposely lightened the labor of their father and mother, making their faces rosy and their people more energetic than ordinary serfs.

 Although Howard's intentions were rather obvious, it was a favor she would take.

 Luna looked at her brother Jack who had just returned, covered in mud wrapped in a long sleeved black and gray linen shirt, his brown hair not exempt from this, and his thin arms were painful to look at!

 Still, the fact that Jack was alive and well reassured Luna.

 "Jack, you're an adult now, you need to help your mother and father more in the future to lighten the load!"

 "Grace! Sis! I will, and I usually take care of Lemmy!" Jack nodded fiercely, showing off his credits again like Luna was taking credit!

 "Yes, Jack has been a great laborer for our family! It deserves a reward!" Luna took the candy from Edward out of her pocket and put it into Jack's hand.

 Jack just saw Luna grab a handful of one of the paper wrapped things and heartily put it into Grip Your Hand.

 Although he didn't know what it was, Jack knew it was something good when he saw his sister's sister's cherished expression.

 "Jack, this is the candy that His Majesty the King rewarded me with, you and Lemmy should eat it slowly, don't eat too much at once, it's bad for your teeth!" Luna momentarily flooded with nagging again.

 Jack quickly unwrapped the wrapper and took out a capsule and put it in the mouth of Lemmy, who was cowering in Lucy's arms, and another in his own mouth.

 Almost simultaneously the two guys narrowed their eyes and cracked their peeling lips in unison, happy.

 Gina, the mother next to her, knew as soon as she saw Luna pull out something wrapped in beautiful leatherette paper that it had to be something valuable, especially when she heard that it was a reward from the king for Luna's sisters, and her fragile heart couldn't help but quicken.

 "Luna, this is a reward from His Majesty the King, nothing will happen to you if you give it to Jack!" Luna saw her mother's weathered face covered in worry, and her father on the sidelines with a look of approval.

 "It's fine mother, His Majesty the King has a good temper, he won't be blamed for this!" Lucy, who was concentrating on teasing Lemmy at the side, couldn't help but snatch an answer.

 Hearing Lucy's words, the strong man with a wrinkled face and the woman with a weathered face revealed a soft glow!

 "Father, this time, His Majesty the King has come here because there is a big event to be accomplished, so tell the aunts and uncles throughout the manor to be sure to take things seriously!"

 "Don't you worry Luna! Now that I've been appointed as the overseer by the Lord Steward, everyone will listen to me!" Luna's father, Old Jack, giggled on the side, pleased with the position.

 The conversation was in two parts, on this side Luna's family reunion was joyous, while on the other side Edward's brainwashing of Howard's housekeeper was beginning to bear fruit.

 After Edward's constant unraveling, and the enticement of benefits, Howard had agreed to give the green light to Edward's experiments, and would work to fulfill Edward's needs.

 Of course, the main thing is that Edward is out of the killer, promising to grant Howard fifty acres of land after the success of the experiment, and can become the minister of agriculture in the future.

 Sure enough, the words of the old ancestor were right, the world's affairs, the world is all for profit, the world is all for profit.

 Even Edward with the king's honor could not make Howard, the land snake, bow his head. But as soon as he lit up the realistic benefits of land, and the lure of the Minister of Agriculture, a future number one official position, the austere Howard immediately knelt down.

 Edward knew that he had no majesty to speak of in the mind of this steward, and that at present only profit could make him work seriously for himself. And now the feudal rules can only make him obey, can't utilize his subjective initiative, Edward watched the work of the serfs for a while, they are clearing the weeds in the wheat field, long time bending down and pulling the weeds, just to let the rye in the wheat field to absorb a little more nutrients.

 After watching for a while and ending his conversation with Howard, Edward was led back to the villa on the estate by the butler. This villa's had nothing special about it, except that the toilets were built extraordinarily large.

 This villa was built in the time of Henry VIII, and in almost all his estates and dominions Henry VIII took pains to spend a great deal of money on villas and castles.

 Why is that? This mainly starts with the construction of castles since the Middle Ages.

 The period was similar to the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period in China, where countries and lords in various places were relatively small in size and population, so castles rich in European characteristics were built.

 It sacrificed space for the needed defense, so it had excellent defense capabilities. And at that time, the castle was big enough to accommodate the people who lived in the castle because the various nobles were often mixed up in wars, which led to a drastic decrease in population. 

 And since the unification of England by the Tudor dynasty, a rare period of peace has come to most parts of the country. As the saying goes, if you have nothing to do but sleep, this sleep is not good, almost England's population has doubled in less than fifty years. 

 As an example, London at that time had only 30,000 people in the year, and by the year, the whole city sprang up with 10,000 people. 

 The huge population hoarding in London led to clogged sewers and overcrowded housing. So the citizens of London were living in a virtual circle of shit and piss, and there was no quality of people at that time, and if you weren't careful you could walk down the street and get hit by poop falling out of the sky. 

 And it's understandable that Henry VIII fixed villas and castles; he was giving the entire royal court a place to defecate, saving the palace toilets from being burst.
