After returning home, Zhou Ming quickly adjusted his mood.

Indeed, in this world with a high degree of class solidification, there are very few promotion channels for the civilian class. Although in many stories told by some civilians, I heard that many farmers' sons rescued a knight. There are stories of lucky enough to become a knight's squire, and finally counterattack and become a noble. But in reality, how many such examples are there?

Perhaps because there are so few, this kind of story can be widely circulated.

He shook his head. It was obvious that he had been misled by these stories and had taken some detours.

"It seems that I have to change my thinking. It is useless to be a farmer all the time. I will never get ahead in my life."

Many thoughts flashed through Zhou Ming's mind.

Be a businessman?

There are already many traveling merchants in this world who are reselling goods between various territories. Because the products and prices of each territory are different, and there is a lack of information exchange, the probability of making huge profits is very high. Join these traveling merchants yourself, and then rely on With some of the ideas in my mind, it is not difficult to become a millionaire.

Become a thief who lives in the mountains and forests?

The area of ​​this world is very large. Many noble territories are less than 10% developed. They are filled with dense black forests (when the density of plants is too high, the light inside is dark) and swamp fields. , there are many wild animals, and there is a lot of space for activities. If you put up your own flag and pull a team of people in the wild, it is no problem to be a free and easy king of the mountain.

There are also freelance professions such as craftsmen, mercenaries, and sailors, which he can choose, as long as he leaves Glenland.

but……

Alice.

As his only sister, it would be impossible for him to fly away with her very fast, and he would easily be caught by the lord.

Moreover, with Alice's appearance, even if she takes her out of Glenland and encounters strong men with evil intentions outside, she can't stop those traffickers or mercenaries from taking her to some place and selling her with her own abilities. Good price.

Zhou Ming had a headache. He had raised Alice, his sister, and it was impossible to have no feelings. It was even more impossible to abandon her and go out alone, unless he was strong enough to defeat a dozen knights at a time. Super strong force.

Looking at my 12-year-old body, I don’t even have the ability to protect myself...

"Just wait a few more years, strengthen your body and bones, and then everything will be easier if you have the ability to protect yourself."

With this in mind, Zhou Ming increased the intensity of his daily exercise from that day on. His exercise in the morning was increased to 800 push-ups, 200 frog jumps, 200 horizontal bars, 3,000 meters of running, and spear sprint training every evening. Increased to 2000 times.

However, Zhou Mingxin's training program had not been implemented for long, and his training plan was completely disrupted when the housekeeper Brunod knocked on the door of his home with a few servants with unpleasant expressions.

"Ryan, starting from next week, you will be assigned to work as a weekly worker on the Lord's farm. Don't forget to go to work!" Butler Brunoder's face was full of revengeful pleasure.

"Weekly workers? Aren't weekly workers only started by territorial citizens over 16 years old? I'm only 12 years old, why do I need to be a weekly worker? This is not in compliance with the territorial laws!"

Zhou Ming retorted that although the lords in this world exploited their subjects severely, they did not kill the goose to retrieve the eggs. Most territorial laws stipulated that only subjects over 16 years old have the obligation to do weekly labor.

"Master Edward's words are law! For a humble farmer like you who has nothing to do when you are full and always wants to live in a castle and become a knight's attendant, Master Edward said that he must find something suitable for you to do in order to dispel your absurdities. The idea! You must do weekly work from next week, otherwise I will take back the land you farm and cancel your qualifications to rent oxen and heavy plows!"

Butler Bunold has already decided to take Zhou Ming! Plowing land, cattle and farming tools are the basis for a farmer's survival. Without these things, the only two options waiting for the farmer are death and escape.

"I'll be there next week, Butler Bnold."

Zhou Ming lowered his head and said in a deep voice, his fists secretly clenched together.

"Hahahahahaha~"

"A humble farmer still wants to fly up a branch and become a phoenix. He must give up!"

"Even so, why don't you look in the mirror and see who he is?"

"He will be dealing with straw in this life. When he gets old, he will realize how funny he was when he was young."

Bunold left with a group of servants laughing wildly. Zhou Ming stayed in the house, but his nails were already clenched into his flesh.

…

Three days later and one morning.

Zhou Ming picked up the hoe and went to work in the lord's wheat field east of the castle with the farmers in the town.

"Ryan, don't work too hard, but don't work too slowly, otherwise Bruno will make you work very late. Also, don't be lazy for a long time, otherwise your weekly work for the day will not be completed. You will be asked to continue working tomorrow until Bruno admits that you have completed three weekly tasks." During the work, the kind-hearted Uncle O'Neill reminded Zhou Ming.

"I know, thank you Uncle O'Neal."

Zhou Ming, who was immersed in weeding, nodded and found that the housekeeper Bruno had been staring at this place. Seeing the vague smile on his face, his heart sank, and he lowered his head again, silently weeding the weeds in the ground.

As evening approached, the few stars in the sky twinkled, and the farmers in the fields could only vaguely see each other's outlines.

After a day's work, he looked back and saw that the 5 acres of wheat field he had hoed today was no less than what other adults had done. Zhou Ming breathed a sigh of relief. There should be no problem now.

"Little Ryan, if you don't meet the standard, today's weekly work will not be counted!"

A proud voice came, completely knocking the trace of luck in Zhou Ming's heart to the bottom.

"Butler Bunold, I have hoed 5 acres of land today, which counts as a weekly labor." Zhou Ming stepped forward and argued in a low voice.

"No, no, no," Brunoder shook his head and said, "These five acres of land were not completed by you, but by Mr. Ward in the town. Your task completion amount is 0."

The farmers on the side were talking a lot.

"This is so shameless. Little Ryan worked all day under the eyes of all of us, and Brunoder actually said that little Ryan's work was in vain today."

"I asked why Wade didn't come with me to do weekly work today. It turned out that because Bruno was his uncle, he asked little Ryan to do the work for him."

"Poor little Ryan, I don't know how I offended Butler Bruno, but he was treated like this..."

"Shhh, keep your voice down! Brunoder is a small-minded, stingy man, so don't let him worry about you!"

Because they were afraid of offending Butler Bruno, no one dared to stand up and speak for Zhou Ming.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Ming didn't say anything, he just silently carried his hoe and returned to his home.

For six days in a row, after all the farmers had completed three days of weekly work and returned to their own fields, only Zhou Ming was left, still working in the lord's wheat field. The housekeeper Bunold still brought several people with him. A servant sat on the edge of the field and supervised him with great interest.

"Dad, I have some good news for you. Master Edward has agreed to let me be his knight squire!"

At this time, a round-faced and chubby boy ran over from the edge of the field, swaying the excess fat on his face, and excitedly reported the good news to Brunoder.

"Really, that's great my son! That's great, that's great! I'm so proud of you!"

The short and fat Brunoder jumped up and hugged his son excitedly. The two lumps of fat bumped together, and both of them burst into tears with excitement.

"Congratulations, Master Baum. You will definitely become a noble nobleman in the future!" Several servants also came forward to compliment and flatter the fat boy named Baum.

"Hey, Dad, who is this man working in the fields? Is today a working day?" Baum asked doubtfully when he saw Zhou Ming with his head buried in weeding.

"No, no, this boy is the farmer boy who went to the castle to participate in the election for a servant last time. I am asking him to hoe more grass to wake him up." Bunold explained to his son with a smile.

"Dad, it's useless to wake up like this. It's better to do it this way." Baum walked over with his fat ass and kicked Zhou Ming's ass.

"Hahahahaha~"

Looking at Zhou Ming rolling on the ground, Brunoder, his son Baum, and several servants laughed wildly.
