Chapter Seventy-Six: The History of the Castle

"The town of Rolla was founded in 1737, and now the castle where we are located has a longer history, according to the relevant documents in the town, its construction time is about 1683, the first generation of lords at that time was enclosed at this time of this territory, and then settled here, and built the castle where we are now, and thus completely controlled the territory it owns, and with it as the center, gradually began to spread outward, and finally slowly gathered a considerable population, after having enough economic base, and built a town centered on it, and then there was the prototype of Rolla Town, and then in the hundreds of years of prosperity and decay, during which it also experienced many wars, several times or even completely disappeared, but in the end it still survived, but the inheritance of its lord line has long been severed, until the appearance of the acting lord, your lord......" The middle-aged butler Richard recounted the history of the town and the castle, and he walked in front of him as he spoke.

"Oh...... Since the inheritance of the lord's lineage has long been severed, I don't know what you think of people who are used to a small town without a lord, and suddenly have an acting lord?" Wei Mingyue asked with interest, and at the same time, she grabbed the two invitations in her hand and opened them, looking at them casually.

"This question...... For most people, in fact, there is no impact at all, on the one hand, although in this era, even if the lord exists, the rights he has are not as huge as in the Middle Ages, it can be said that it is very limited, only in the tax has a certain preferential treatment, as for other things, such as public security, justice and other rights, basically do not have, if you can't make good friends with the relevant officials, basically can't get involved, and on the other hand, the people of the town also have the right to choose the lord in the opposite direction, after all, in this era, the transportation conditions are extremely convenient, and there is no excessive restriction on personal freedom,If you want to leave, you can leave at any time.,And even people born in a small town don't necessarily have to work and live in a small town in the future.,Of course, the acting lord should also know that in fact, the permanent population of the town is not very large.,And the vast majority of young people basically live and work in big cities outside.,And this trend is still increasing.,Maybe ...... Maybe even if that thing doesn't happen, maybe this town will naturally become an uninhabited abandoned city in the next ten years, or even decades later, and end its history forever!" said the middle-aged butler Richard, with a clear hint of sadness in his words.

"Well, the times are different, right...... What the hell is that thing?" Wei Mingyue grabbed the key word, and then asked.

"Lord Acting Lord, please forgive me for saying that it is not appropriate to tell the Acting Lord about that matter, if Lord Acting Lord really wants to know the details, today's dinner is undoubtedly the most suitable opportunity!" replied the middle-aged butler Richard.

"So about this dinner, can Mr. Richard give the relevant advice? The time on these two invitations seems to be the same! I'm afraid that I can't do anything, so I can only choose to participate in one of them, and which one is more appropriate?" Wei Mingyue shook the invitation card in her hand, not only whether the other party was deliberately fighting in the ring, or whether the customs of this place are like this, anyway, the time of the two invitations is half past seven in the evening, which is really a headache.

"As for this, the acting lord doesn't need to worry, but as for the construction of yì or something, he doesn't dare to be, and he is just a butler in the next, not a strategist, but based on what he knows, he gives the acting lord a relevant reminder, and if there is something about the dinner, the acting lord can participate in it! Oh...... Actually, this kind of thing is quite common in our place!" said Richard, the middle-aged butler.

"Join us?" Wei Mingyue was a little stunned for a while, her face showed a questioning look, and she looked at the middle-aged housekeeper in front of her in confusion, a little bit unable to understand the meaning of his words.

"That's true, since the acting lord will have such doubts, I guess in the past I have participated in more formal banquets, but in rural places like ours, generally speaking, except for the era when the lord still existed, it is basically a very free form, completely civilian banquet, come and go as you want, on the open lawn, prepare all kinds of food, barbecue, drink, guests come and go at will, you can also perform your own show, and then until you have fun, everyone disperses, and that's itIf someone wants to talk about something privately, or secretly communicate something, they can find a hidden place on their own, or directly borrow the room specially prepared by the host's house!

"That's what it looks like!" Wei Mingyue understood.

"This way, here is the aspect prepared for you, the morning sun is ventilated, and the scenery is excellent, open the window to be able to see the landscape of the whole town, the commonly used items and complete, just because of the rush of time, all kinds of modern facilities have not had time to install, but daily life will not be affected, the room has its own washing room, life will be more convenient!" The middle-aged housekeeper Richard stopped his steps, and then pushed open the door in front of him, which was a little simple, but it was still very durable, and it could be seen that it was carved with various exquisite patterns, vaguely it seemed to be some kind of aristocratic ornamental pattern, but Wei Mingyue didn't know much about this, and at the same time didn't have much interest in in-depth research, it just looked antique, and it was very luxurious, so visually it was satisfied, and she didn't care about other aspects.

Generally speaking, Westerners have such a tradition, as a building, and all kinds of furnishings and items in it, if it is not completely damaged, it will be kept as it is as it is, and will not be replaced casually, especially some old and historically significant buildings, which can not be changed at all, even if it is a privately owned building, it is the same, sometimes if it is necessary to change, it is necessary to carry out some approvals, and it must be carried out with the permission of the relevant government units, otherwise it is simply a criminal act。

This is definitely very different from the Celestial Empire, where will the Celestial Empire pay attention to these, first demolish it and then say, it is great to offend the public anger, and then restore it, of course, as for what the restored building has to do with the past, the difference, it is not something that some people will care about and consider, anyway, between demolition and construction, they have already gotten what they should get
