We talked about the other people I would hire as well
“Very well, I shall arrange things to be as you said.”
“Yes, thank you. Also…there are the other employees, aside from the servants.”
The salary for the people who would be working in the herb fields had to be decided as well.
“Ah, I know that I’ll be hiring Ms. Delia as well… She is going to be a private tutor for Liza. What about four gold?”
“Yes, that should be fine.”
In general, the standard wage for the average worker seed to be around one gold and seven silver after taxes had been deducted. But since I would be adding a little extra, it would amount to two gold, with possibly more for allowances.
“And…there will be soone to manage them, similar to the head maid. They should be paid more, as they will have multiple jobs.”
“Indeed. Even though they won’t be working for as many days and get paid higher than average…considering the type of work, it would be appropriate.”
“Besides, if you work for Mr. Takumi, you must deal with information that cannot be leaked outside. So the extra pay will help them keep the secret.”
“Uh…secret?”
I had not been thinking about that at all.
“You have the Gift, Mr. Takumi. It would be fine if it is with people who can be trusted, but you never know where such information will spread.”
“If it was known far and wide, it would catch the attention of people who an mischief. In order to keep the peace, it will be necessary.”
“Ah, I suppose. It’s best if fewer people knew about it.”
It was easy to forget about it, as I was usually surrounded by people who already knew about Weed Cultivation.
One reason was because I mostly t good people, but I was also generally protected while living in the duke’s house.
Still, I would have to tell the people who I hired, and I had no doubt that it would spread to a degree. But there was no need to encourage it.
I was continuing my sword training, but it would not hurt to not have to use it.
If it would help people keep their mouths shut, then I would not mind paying them a little extra.
“Well, please leave the smaller details to .”
There were still so things I hadn’t been able to decide on, but Keith accepted all of the work. It was nice to be able to leave things to him.
“Yes. Ah, that’s right. I better raise Nick’s salary as well…”
“Nick… Ah, the man who delivers the herbs to Ractos.”
Well, perhaps it was best to confide in Mr. Kalis and find out how he was working at the store.
Still, he had to make round trips to deliver the herbs. And he would soon have to travel to Range village for that. So it made sense to pay him more.
“You can leave it to .”
“Thank you. I’ll visit Mr. Kalis soon and tell you the results.”
“Yes, certainly.”
As for Nick… I could just decide on it by myself. But it did involve Mr. Kalis, so I wanted to talk to him first.
Besides, Nick himself might have opinions on the matter.
Keith said that he would also think on the matter, while taking the future into consideration. So I decided to leave it to him.
