An autumn rain and a cold rain, but the sudden rainstorm in the afternoon could not stop the enthusiasm of the people in the village.

Last night, while eating haggis, the old village chief held a meeting to promote the sowing of winter wheat this year. The meeting was attended by the heads of the families in the village.

The old village chief explained the importance and significance of this year's winter wheat sowing work, emphasizing that the hard days have passed, and the Earl of McCaden and His Excellency Nessario supported the village with some gold coins, asking the participants to prepare in advance to ensure the quality and quantity of this year's winter wheat sowing work.

The old village chief pointed out that the financial assistance received by the village will be used to purchase a pair of young and strong ploughing cattle and supporting farming tools, purchase manure as base fertilizer, and purchase high-quality wheat seeds to be distributed to families in the city's harvest temple.

At the same time, the old village chief stressed that all households should give full play to the incentive role of economic assistance, immerse themselves in hard work for a year, and strive to make a comeback for the whole village next year.

???????????

The rainstorm was short-lived, and it stopped just over an hour.

Charles and Genaro stepped out of the hut sheltered from the rain and continued to help the village chop wood by the threshing floor.

Among the common plant ashes used as potassium fertilizers, the ash with the highest potassium content is the ash of sunflower stalks, followed by the ash of wheat stalks, and the third is the ash of broad-leaved trees.

In the past, in order to raise money to buy cattle, the village used wheat stalks to weave straw hats and sell them, but now they can only use the surrounding broad-leaved trees to burn grass ashes.

A section of the tree trunk was cut into firewood by Charles and thrown onto a nearby pyre.

After dinner, the villagers will transport the timber to their fields, light a fire, mix it with manure and sprinkle it in the fields tomorrow, and then start plowing the land and sowing seeds.

On the side, Genaro was chopping wood with his long sword, but the expression on his face was a little cloudy, as if he was fighting some thoughts.

Just now he asked Charles how he could truly become the master of the Thunder Blade.

Charles's answer was to let him take the Thunder Blade to chop wood, and Donna did not object, which means that he has truly become the master of the Thunder Blade.

Gnaro yawned, he obviously didn't sleep last night to rush back, and he didn't rest because he thought too much during the day today.

Charles threw a small piece of wood at him and threw him on the head, then drove him to sleep.

In the evening, a knight in half-armored armor came to the entrance of the village with two horsemen, one of whom held a banner in his hand.

"The lord's men are here!" shouted the farmer, who was chopping wood with Charles, in surprise.

When Charles saw the old village chief coming to him, he asked the farmer beside him, "Are they here to collect taxes?"

The farmer's face turned very bad, and he said, "The tax has passed, and I am afraid that this time I have come to draw people to war." ”

Charles was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that the period after the autumn harvest was the time for the nobles to beat each other to settle their grievances.

The lord of the village was a baron, and the village had asked him for help over the four-winged fire dragon, but he thought the villagers were making up stories to evade taxes, so he blew them away.

The time for planting winter wheat in this village is a little later than in other villages, and the other villages have already finished planting, and there are people who go to fight for the lord of the lord, but this village is not good, and it is really impossible to spare strong labor.

The leading knight rebuked angrily: "I only need one person, and none of you can get out?!"

The old village chief who was kneeling on the ground begged: "Master, our village is late for planting this year, and it will be too late to draw out manpower!"

The knight said, "Then you will give an ox for the ration of the army." ”

The old village chief's face was extremely ugly, and he was now phobic of eating cows.

The knight didn't want to talk nonsense anymore, he ignored the old village chief's pleading, pointed at the villagers who were working, and then said to the two cavalrymen behind him: "That's it, take it!"

So Charles, who looked better than the villagers and was physically strong, was captured by the two cavalrymen.

I have to say that the riding skills of those two cavalrymen are good, and the two of them can actually gallop with one of Charles's arms in one of them, and they didn't tear Charles into two.

Not long after, the knights and cavalry led Charles to the main road and caught up with a group advancing to the west.

At the front of the procession, flags were waved, and it was the local duke who led his men to fight.

At the back of the line were the recruited farmers, some of them burly and hopeful, others thin and dead-faced.

At the back was a string of wagons, merchants who had heard the news and had come to do business, loaded with wine and meat.

Charles was thrown into the peasant's ranks, flanked by one or two cavalrymen at intervals to prevent them from escaping.

There was a cavalryman dragged a half-dead man behind his horse, apparently a farmer who had attempted to escape and had been captured to make an example of the monkeys.

Charles sighed, life is really amazing, if you come, you can be safe, just watch the excitement.

Compared with the laughter of the aristocratic lords in front of him, the farmer's team was lifeless, and Charles ignored him when he wanted to speak.

The procession walked toward the west, and in the evening they camped on a hill.

The nobles naturally had comfortable tents, and the peasants received sticks and hemp rope from their wagons, and put a fence around the ground, and the circle was their camp.

When they were done, the farmers began to take out their blankets and spread them on the ground to rest, while eating their own dry food.

The merchants began to act, and a few of the merchants drove their wagons outside the camp to sell a little food.

Some businessmen simply set up stoves on the side to boil water, and they had to pay for boiling water.

Charles was speechless, he was arrested, he didn't prepare anything, his equipment and reserve materials were in the storage ring, so he could only find a chance to take something out if others didn't pay attention.

So he sat on the side in a daze, so that the soldiers guarding them outside by the fire thought that he was going to run away or something.

At the merchant's carriage not far away, a burly man with a few doglegs shouted viciously at a merchant: "Why are there no women?!"

The merchant yelled a little angrily: "You still want to be a fart woman, women have been bought by the textile factory, you can the man!"

The strong man scolded and left with the dog's legs, but he inadvertently turned his head and found the most beautiful boy in the crowd.

Charles's appearance is already very high. Philip can enter Victoria's eyes, which means that he looks very good, and Catherine was also very good-looking as a demon princess back then. In addition, the first generation of Earl Joseph of Maccaden grew up in Durian City, so the requirements for appearance will naturally not be low. Moreover, the Earls of Maccaden in the past generations were not short of money, so they naturally would not treat themselves badly when looking for a wife. has been inherited from generation to generation, and Charles's appearance can be eaten with a face in Hollywood.

Such a flower was thrown into the group of peasants, and the strong man who wanted to find a prostitute but could not do so suddenly became excited.

He walked up to Charles, who was sitting there stupidly, and said to Charles with a pleasant face, "Little brother, don't you have anything to eat?"

Charles didn't understand the other party's intentions for a while, but he just thought that this strong man was going to accept his younger brother as cannon fodder or something before the battle, so he shook his head.

It's just that the strong man's face suddenly became **, he stretched out his hand to touch Charles's face, and said at the same time: "Accompany the master tonight, the master will give you ......"

Charles immediately knew what the other party wanted to do, his eyes suddenly froze, and he immediately jumped up from the ground and kicked the strong man in the head with a roundabout kick, knocking him unconscious on the spot.

The soldier who was watching the bustle outside the fence whistled and said, "I don't see that you kid is good." ”

Charles turned to him and said, "It's just a mouthful of food." ”

After saying this, he took out a money bag from the hand of the strong man lying on the ground, and then took out three silver dinars and some copper plates from the bag.

Charles didn't kill them all, but took the three dinars and threw them back at him.
