Chapter 164: The Embarrassing Situation

"Now that everything is fine, you've left that place. Mona looked at Nether with a loving, gentle gaze.

She is indeed in love with the house and Wucai is so good to Nether, but there is no need to distinguish the various emotions so clearly.

"The connection of blood brings us back together today. Mona gently hugged Nether's head and said in a soothing voice, "Nether, welcome home." ”

"As for those who have hurt you, one day I will trample their bodies under my feet and make them repent of what they have done before they die. ”

Mona comforted softly, but the hatred for the enemy in her words was extremely firm.

Don't forget that Mona is also a xenomorph of the Trindall family, and xenos are not necessarily all bad people, but most xenos are under the influence of sin, and their bestiality has become difficult to suppress.

"You're tired of all the way, the room is ready for you. Mona completely regarded Nether as if she were her own child, and she said with great tenderness: "This is your home, and you are also the master of this place, and you can do whatever you like." ”

"No, Mona, I'm far from resting, and you're thinking too fragile about me. Nether shook her head and stood up.

He knew he had to interrupt Mona's endless pampering mode.

Otherwise, his status in Ronnie's family will be determined, and once the image of the protected person is completely formed in Mona's heart, he will be a younger generation here in Mona for no reason in the future, and his right to speak will also be lost, let alone carry out his own plan, I am afraid that I will not be able to leave the castle to run errands.

With her pampered posture, that kind of action to protect herself in the castle, it is not impossible.

Therefore, Nether must let her come out of this extreme emotion, and realize that Nether is not a strict child who needs his protection, but a capable collaborator, and even a helper who helps Ronnie's family out of their predicament.

For his future development, he must occupy a certain voice in the relationship between the two.

"Too much care wasn't necessary for me, and it only made the situation worse for Ronnie's family. Nether said.

"How come, don't worry, your sister will take care of everything, you can stay in the castle and ...... in peace," Mona immediately shook her head and smiled.

"It's not actually going to be good. Nether shook her head, interrupting Mona's words.

"I found a large number of rut marks on the other side of the doorway, and the marks should have been newly made today. Nether came to the window and said.

"Acorn collars don't have flower fields, and large-scale flowers have to be purchased elsewhere. ”

"I arrived at the Oder border last night, and Eve sent someone to inform you at close to midnight, I have calculated the distance, even if it is a quick horse, and the messenger will reach you, it will take two or three hours, and you will only have about three hours to prepare for all this. ”

"In the wee hours of the morning, tidying up the castle, buying flowers, waxing the ground, and although it had been ventilated for a while, I could still smell a lot of people from here. ”

"The tenant servants tossed all night, exhausted, and spent a lot of money on flowers, all just to give me some comfort when I came back here. ”

"I'm grateful for everything you've done for me, Cousin Mona. Nether took Mona's hand and looked her in the eye.

"But what I needed wasn't the comfort, but the real strength. ”

"I didn't come here from Loa to hide in a safe haven, or to live comfortably under the protection of others. ”

"Wealth, power, force......" Nether opened his hands, momentum erupted from his body, and his extraordinary charm was also displayed at this moment: "I have my own ambitions. ”

The first step in realizing these ambitions is to help Ronnie's family out of their predicament. Nether held out his hand in front of Mona and said, "You can entrust me with your trust." ”

"You are different from your father, he never reveals his ambitions. Mona's expression was complicated, but she still stretched out her hand and put it on Nether's hand, her eyes also revealed seriousness, and her words were full of confirmation and asked, "You really don't need a comfortable life?"

"I'll get those things myself. Nether grabbed Mona's hand and said.

"So let's get down to business, how bad is the situation at Ronnie's house?" asked Nether as she sat up straight, turning to Mona.

And after getting out of that spoiling mode, Mona, who has regained her sanity, also has a lot less emotion, and she is very capable of talking about all the difficulties she is facing now.

"Two of the three neighboring noble lords have bad intentions towards the acorn collar, and the remaining one, although it seems to be neutral, is not sure when it will come forward and intervene. ”

"Ronnie's industry has been suppressed, and this year's acorn harvest is also a problem, in addition to the problem of horse bandits, they once attacked the territory at night, which greatly damaged the prestige of the Ronnie family in the territory, and many tenants chose to move to other territories. ”

The composition of the lords was very complex, including tenants, freemen, and even a few citizens.

Tenants lease the land of the lords, they are essentially poor and poor, and they owe the lord's harvest of goods, and in a way the tenants are the most difficult to resist the exploitation of the lord.

If they want to leave the territory, they need to make up the land rent, land vacancy tax and other messy expenses, if they really choose to leave, then let alone restore their freedom, they will owe the lord a lot of debts and be sold into slaves.

Freedmen are required to obey the laws of their territory, but they themselves are free and can leave and return at any time, but once they leave and no longer settle in their territory, their property taxes will be different in an instant, and their property will also be subject to management tax.

If the freedmen leave an empty house and choose to leave the territory, then they had better sell the property or not come back, and they will be in debt.

Only the citizens are slightly better, and although they are subject to the laws established by the lords between the realms, their property is also protected by the state.

Moving out of the territory just can't enjoy some tax benefits.

In short, no matter what kind of territory you choose, once you choose to leave the territory, you will lose a lot.

Because the population is really a valuable wealth, in order to keep this wealth, the lords will set up various laws to ensure that the lords will not easily move out of the territory.

But once a large number of people really leave the territory, it can only mean one thing, and that is that the problem is big.
