Building a Haging garden will be a huge project, which requires enormous manpower, material and financial resources. It is not only a waste of money, but more of a shortage of materials.
A large number of manpower requires a large amount of food, and food is undoubtedly the most precious commodity in winter.
The daily consumption of hundreds of serfs alone is a huge number, not to mention that such a project cannot be completed in a day or two.
Countless workers would have to gathered in the Almis Mountains, which required the construction of temporary shelters. Building shelters required a large amount of wood, which required enough manpower to cut down those trees.
Food needed to be transported, supplies needed to be delivered, and the gathered serfs needed to be effectively managed, all of which required additional manpower and money.
Therefore, a project like this would involve many aspects, and it would be a bit stretched for a mere earldom.
Bruno certainly knew the difficulties he was facing, but he had no choice.
After all, this is only the first task given by the system!
If I can't even accomplish this, how can I have the nerve to claim that I'm a transmigrator? This is simply embarrassing countless transmigrator!
Leon hugged Bruno's thighs tightly, with a pleading look on his face, hoping that Bruno would change his mind as soon as possible.
If the old butler knew that Bruno had come up with such a ruinous idea in his company, he would definitely cut himself into pieces!
"Master, although our family occasionally has a surplus, we can't support a project like this... This is the Stuart family's legacy passed down from generation to generation..." Leon advised earnestly.
Most of the servants like Leon have been dependent on the Stuart family for generations. They have been working for the Stuart family since their great-grandfather's generation and are extremely loyal to Bruno.
Therefore, when they heard that Bruno was going to make such an absurd decision, the accompanying guards and servants all knelt on the ground, hoping that their master would change his mind. After all, if the Stuart family suffered losses, they would also lose their source of livelihood. This is a relationship of mutual benefit and mutual loss.
"Shut up!" Hearing the cries all around, Bruno gritted his teeth and ordered loudly.
"It's just building a garden, what's there to complain about? If it can't be built in a short time, we can build it slowly. If a thousand people are too many, we can use a hundred people. Can the Stuart family's generations of foundation be dragged down by a mere garden?"
Hearing Bruno's words, Leon couldn't help but be stunned. The master really listened to everyone's advice...
"Master is really a very wise man! He can even come up with such a brilliant idea as Aristotle... Master... Master! Master, look!"
Leon was hugging Bruno's thigh and flattering him, but he didn't expect that when his head shook and he glanced out of the corner of his eye, he saw a large piece of white bread suddenly emerged from a guard's backpack, floating in the air with a little sway...
Bruno heard Leon's call, turned around, and happened to see the piece of white bread floating in the air.
Could it be that I am... dazzled? Bruno rubbed his eyes in disbelief.
"Shwing——"
The swords were unsheathed, and the accompanying guards pointed their swords at the white bread almost in an instant.
"Is this... magic?"
Although Bruno had only been in this world for a few days, he knew that magic existed in this world. He quickly realized that the scene before his eyes was probably some kind of magic...
The piece of white bread seemed to realize that it had been discovered, and suddenly it hovered in the air without moving.
A moment later, just when people thought that all this was about to end, they heard a "biu" sound, and the piece of white bread suddenly flew into the jungle beside them like an arrow.
"Chase!"
The leading guard obviously wanted to show his ability in this hard-won opportunity, so he took the lead and rushed towards the jungle.
When Bruno came to his senses, he found that the only one left beside him was Leon, who was still hugging his thigh and shivering.
"Hey! Where are you guys going? Come back! Come back and protect me!"
But the guards had already gone far away, and Bruno's shouts could no longer be heard.
"Asshole!" Bruno kicked the powerless Leon away and cursed in annoyance, "I must discipline the guards when I get back. Don't they know that protecting me is the first priority of their guards?!"
"Don't be afraid, sir. I'm here for you!" Leon finally stumbled to his feet, rubbed his sore knees, and smiled wickedly.
Bruno glanced at him and said calmly: "You should think carefully about how to arrange the collection of feces after you return..."
"…"
After a while, the guards who had run out on their own finally came back, which undoubtedly made Bruno feel relieved.
"I have fulfilled my mission and captured this man!" The leading guard saluted respectfully towards Bruno and said in a deep voice.
"I don't care if you caught a ghost! Didn't you see that I didn't even have a guard by my side? Remember in the future, my life safety is the first priority!" Bruno shouted angrily.
Well, this is probably the original character's personality...
After being scolded by Bruno, the guard who was originally complacent suddenly became worried. Well, not only was the reward gone, but it was already good enough that there was no punishment.
After a fit of tantrum, Bruno took a closer look at the unlucky guy who was caught by the guards.
This was a young man who was thought to be in his early twenties. Although the lavender clothes he was wearing had been torn to tatters by his bodyguards, it was clear that they were not ordinary items.
Although his face was stained with mud and there was freshly coagulated blood on his head, he had a handsome face and did not look like an ordinary person.
Leon scooped up a large bucket of cold water from the lake nearby and poured it on the young man.
Perhaps because he was chilled all over by the cold lake water, the young man shuddered and suddenly his eyes widened.
He raised his head and looked around at the people around him with panicked eyes.
As if to give himself courage, he finally mustered up his courage and shouted in a trembling voice: "I am a noble wizard! You can't treat me like this!"
"Oh? Then tell me, how should I treat you?" Bruno said with a smile.
"you..."
"Mage? You're just a thief!" Bruno interrupted the man without any politeness.
The poor wizard opened his eyes wide and said, "Why do you want to tarnish someone's innocence like this..."
"Didn't you steal the white bread?" Bruno said.
The man's face turned red, and he argued loudly: "I was just hungry... I took some food from you. As a wizard... can it be considered stealing?" Then he said a series of incomprehensible words, such as "levitation", "fireball spell", "noble wizard apprentice", etc., which made everyone laugh, and the open space in the woods was filled with a happy atmosphere.
Bruno didn't have the patience to listen to all this nonsense. He just took a few steps forward and swung his fist hard into the young wizard's face.
"Ouch!"
The young wizard cried out in pain. Bruno's punch was so powerful that it caused him to bleed from the nose.
He covered his bleeding nose and complained loudly:
"No my pretty face!"
After saying that, he completely fainted.
