<span style="font-weight:400">"Will it be fine?" William questioned. He questioned whether or not these jobs would be sustainable. It was a good idea. But if it couldn''tst, the issue would still be there.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Mmhmmm. The town is enormous. I calcted it," Keith realized the town wasrge.
<span style="font-weight:400">The workers would take a day to finish a quarter of the town. And after three days, one-quarter would be dirty again. It was a never-ending cycle.
<span style="font-weight:400">"And why three silver?" William was curious. Why was the wage that much?
<span style="font-weight:400">"I went with three silver because of the budget. Also, it''s so the regr townspeople wouldn''t take this job," Keith understood.
<span style="font-weight:400">From what Gus said, a wage of five silver coins was the standard. Anything less, and people wouldn''t want it.
<span style="font-weight:400">That was why Keith lowered it to three.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Three is enough to maintain a stable life," Keith did some calctions and found three silver was enough to get by.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Alright. That''s a good n," William nodded to his son''s words.
<span style="font-weight:400">"And I also have a n with the housing," Keith smiled. William chuckled. You have a n for the housing as well?
<span style="font-weight:400">Michael and Mendel stared at Keith. The young master was not ying at all.
<span style="font-weight:400">He was going in hot!
<span style="font-weight:400">...
<span style="font-weight:400">And what Keith exined worked.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Po!" Mir summoned in front of him. The snowball didn''t wait as he jumped on Keith''s body!
<span style="font-weight:400">Keith hugged the little snowball, "Sorry, Mir. I haven''t been able toe to the forest because I have a lot of things to do,"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Mir, don''t be mad at Keith," Fira added, "Keith is helping a lot of people out!" She knew Keith was doing something great!
<span style="font-weight:400">"Po!" Mir licked his face. He understood Keith had a lot of things to do. Mir jumped onto his head as he nestled into it.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Haha. Alright, you cane with me to the slums," Keithughed as he walked.
<span style="font-weight:400">Michael and Orin were behind him.
<span style="font-weight:400">"I never would have guessed he would do something like this," Orin stated. How he changed the slums in a few weeks was just crazy. Michael shrugged his shoulders,
<span style="font-weight:400">"The kid''s like that. He''s smart on some days, while at other times, he goes into overdrive to do things he feels need to be done."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Come on, let''s go," Keith looked at the two middle-aged people behind him.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Don''t need to tell us,"
<span style="font-weight:400">...
<span style="font-weight:400">"Everyone!" Keith screamed. With his loud voice, the people from the slums quickly came out of their homes.
<span style="font-weight:400">"It''s the young master!"
<span style="font-weight:400">"The young master has returned!" The people from the slums came out of their homes. They stared at Keith with reverence.
<span style="font-weight:400">"I made due on my promise of handing you guys jobs!" Keith had given his word that he would give them jobs. And he did that. He added,
<span style="font-weight:400">"But I want you guys to sacrifice something else for me!"
<span style="font-weight:400">Sacrifice? The people from the slums wondered what he wanted them to sacrifice.
<span style="font-weight:400">Keith exined, "I''m nning to make new homes for everyone! But I need to construct it in the space you live in! That''s why I need you to bear with me and let others live in your homes for a bit!" The next thing Keith wanted to do was to create homes.
<span style="font-weight:400">But he needed to use the space those huts were upying.
<span style="font-weight:400">It was a long shot. But Keith hoped it would work,
<span style="font-weight:400">New homes?
<span style="font-weight:400">"We''ll dly do it, Young Master!"
<span style="font-weight:400">"If it means we can live in new homes, we''ll dly leave them!"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Thank you everyone! Also, I will be calling some names out! I will need some experienced people to construct this!" That was why Keith had the knights take notes on the experiences the people had.
<span style="font-weight:400">It would make it easier to decide who would be the most suitable for each job.
<span style="font-weight:400">"You guys will be paid as well!" And the people from the slums brightened up even more!
<span style="font-weight:400">More jobs!
<span style="font-weight:400">"I will call out the names!" Keith called out around 20 people for work.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Orin will be helping out as well!" Keith stated. He asked Orin to assist him in constructing it. He wasn''t a construction worker.
<span style="font-weight:400">This was more of Orin''s forte.
<span style="font-weight:400">"The first ten will be carrying the materials over here! The others will be helping the people move their stuff out of the house and smashing the hut down!" Orin ordered.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Understood!" Like that, everyone got to work. While they set up, Orin asked, "Keith, where did you get the coins to get all of this?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Hmm?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"I mean the materials and wages. How did you get so many materials and coins to pay for them?" Orin frowned.
<span style="font-weight:400">"From my father," Keith chuckled.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Don''t lie. Your father only gave you 10 mithril. And that was used on the cleaner jobs. How did you do it?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Fine," Keith sighed, "I used some of the coins I earned from my bakery,"
