Chapter Twenty-Eight: Difficult

Yang Yi's Rock County is indeed a large county, with 1,500 acres of land, a population of more than 1,000 people, in addition to women, the elderly, and children, there are about three or four hundred young and middle-aged people, and the land is divided into three parts, one part is Yang Yi's own land, and the housekeeper supervises the serfs to work on it, and the harvest is all owned by the lord, and part is the share of the commoners, which is assigned by the lord to various civilian families. The two types of fields www.biquge.info which are not connected to each other, are staggered and divided into many plots, which are used for the lord's own land and the commoners' land respectively.

There were strict rules about what the serfs sowed on the land, which was not to be changed, and the knights, in addition to ploughing the land, had woods, which were used to provide timber and firewood, ponds, which were used to raise fish, and meadows, which were used to graze livestock. The land after the harvest of crops or fallow land can also be used for grazing. The manor also had various workshops for the manufacture of weapons, farm tools, saddles, fabrics, etc., and all serfs worked in them. Almost everything needed in the manor, from the life of the lord to the food, labor tools and daily necessities of the common family, was produced by the serfs of the manor.

Only necessities such as salt and iron, as well as luxury goods such as spices, silk, and jewelry, which could not be produced by the estate, were purchased from foreign merchants, and agricultural production was pitifully inefficient. Handicrafts were closely integrated with agriculture and developed slowly, so that the serfs had little surplus to sell.

The fuck is that although Yang Yi's land is the big head, it is occupied by the people of Rock County, and he has no serfs, and no one will listen to him, if he wants to take it back, I am afraid that someone will play with him, that is to say, except for this dilapidated two-story building and the front and back yards, which are his, and can grow vegetables, the rest of the land in Rock County has nothing to do with him.

What's even more fucking up is that even the people in this dilapidated house Rock County have long been unpleasant, and after Yang Yi figured out the situation, he couldn't help but gasp and asked the respectful old Sero: "What are the other lords like?"

"Honorable knight, the Great Lord owns many manors, and in the manors stands the lord's mansion. The estates of the great lords were forts, usually built on natural rock or artificial mounds, surrounded by a tall enclosure surrounded by a wide moat, which could only be accessed by a drawbridge. At the top of the fort were forts, fortified buildings in which lords and their families lived in forts or other elaborate and comfortable dwellings. ”

"There were warehouses with food and weapons in the forts, and gloomy dungeons with serfs who dared to resist. The captives captured by the lord during the melee were also held there, waiting for others to ransom them. The lord defended himself by means of a deep ditch and a high fortress, and also came out from there to rob ......"

Old Sero introduced it in detail, but Yang Yi didn't want to listen to it anymore, and waved his hand to signal Old Sero not to talk any more, he was sad, they were all nobles, why was the gap so big?

If you want to get the recognition and loyalty of the people of Rock County, the best way is to lead them out of poverty, although Yang Yi originally had no idea of fighting the land, 1,500 acres of land seems to be a lot, but Rock County is too cold, and the crops can only be planted one stubble, only relying on the land to eat, let alone a good life, enough to eat.

The best way to get rich is to do business, that is, to do business, Yang Yi is very confident that he can do business, the problem is, he is a nobleman, other nobles eat and drink spicy, he has no land, and he has to take the people of Rock County to get rich, Yang Yi couldn't help pinching the lace on the cuffs, damn it! What kind of aristocrat is that, Lao Tzu, this is a poverty alleviation cadre.

The bigger problem is that Yang Yi needs time and start-up capital, which is exactly what he doesn't have, and Old Sero and Forman can't give him any advice, they all stare at him, Yang Yi calculates how many things in his hands can be converted into wealth, and after calculation, there are only two horses given by Snow White.

Time, Yang Yi needs time to come up with a way, the most important thing at the moment is to gain time, during this time to ensure that the people of Rock County do not look for trouble, there was silence for about ten minutes, Yang Yi issued an order to the old Sero, to post a notice, telling the people of Rock County that there is a new lord, that is, he is the dragon knight Yang Yi, but at the bottom of the notice is written, tomorrow the new knight lord, I want to invite the people of Locke County to dinner, welcome everyone to come, the knight lord wants to talk to everyone about how to create a beautiful home......

The great Nicholas, Zhao Si, once said that there is nothing in the world that cannot be solved by a barbecue, if there is, then two, inviting guests to eat is a fine tradition of the Chinese, which can quickly close the relationship and distance between people and people, especially when everyone is not full, this is the only way to gain time and goodwill.

The problem is that there is no food in the manor belonging to Yang Yi, let alone meat and vegetables, so the old Sero is very depressed, Yang Yi waved his hand and asked him to work, saying that he would worry about these things, the old Sero took the order and went to write the notice with great energy, and the rest of Forman was also worried about Yang Yi, Yang Yi also gave him an order, sell Snow White's two horses, go to buy food, buy meat, and eat the rest for himself, in addition, all prepare for tomorrow's dinner.

After Yang Yi finished instructing, Forman did not leave, but looked at him fixedly and said: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, although you are a down-and-out prince, you are now also the lord of Rock County, a real knight lord, a knight, without armor is already very contemptible, don't you even have a horse?

"It's really damn that you will take eye medicine, if Lao Tzu has a way, do you still need to sell horses?" Yang Yi secretly scolded Fuman, and said to him patiently: " Ah Fu, there is no need to say these four words in the future, His Royal Highness the Prince, my current identity is a knight, you can call me the master, people, you have to recognize your position, I know this very well, as for selling horses, it is also a last resort, in my hometown, there is an allusion to Qin Qiong selling horses, and it is also a hero, but it does not prevent him from becoming a real hero, the current situation is, selling horses, I am still a knight master, if I don't sell horses, the situation cannot be improved, and I will no longer be a knight master if I am driven away by the people of Rock County. ”

Fu Man was impressed by Yang Yi's words, and bent down and said: "You are a wise prince, no, you are a knight lord, Fu Man obeys your orders." ”

Forman was leaving, but was stopped by Yang Yi and asked him to call the seven dwarfs, after Forman left, Yang Yi sat alone in the empty study, very melancholy for a while, I thought that if I saved Snow White, I would be a winner in life, but now it seems that everything is just a beginning, and I am a knight...... It's too much of a mother's bag.

The seven dwarfs came in quickly, everyone was in good spirits, although they did not follow Snow White, but they had a new identity, no longer a black household, and followed Yang Yi such a knight master, for them, life was already very happy.

As the leader of the seven dwarfs, Podol bowed down to Yang Yi and said, "Your Royal Highness, what is there to serve you?"

"Bodol, now I'm just a knight, not a prince, just call me a knight master in the future, don't call me a prince, do you understand?" Looking at Podol nodded, Yang Yi continued: "What is the best job of your seven brothers?"

"Dear Prince, oh no, Lord Knight, the dwarves are the best blacksmiths and stonemasons in the world, and we have the magic to build, and we have built amazing buildings to resist foreign invasions. ”

"Each dwarf has their own strengths, and we have different techniques and crafts. For example, some dwarves will focus on warfare and weapon craftsmanship, and strive to create first-class swords for samurai. Usually such dwarves will also participate in battles under the leadership of their leader. Our seven brothers are best at smelting, but we are exiled and the skills of smelting are useless, but we also have the skills of mining and logging. ”

In the backward world, smelting is indeed a powerful technology, the problem is that there is no condition for the dwarfs to smelt, but the mining and logging skills of the seven dwarves are what Yang Yi needs most now, Yang Yi lifted his spirits and said gently: "Now we have our own territory, this territory is not only mine, but also yours, we have ventured together, you are all my henchmen, and in the future, when there is a scale, I will let you lead the smelting of the whole county, and you are my smelting officials." ”

"But now, we don't have anything, so you go to Rock Mountain to mine and harvest, if only you could find gold, if there is no gold, iron ore, copper ore, and you have to help me pick some wood, and you can also see that we are poor here and don't even have wood to make a fire......"

Yang Yi casually made a wish, and later sealed seven dwarfs as officials, Podol was quite satisfied and excited, they now not only have an identity, but also have the possibility of being an official, this prince, His Royal Highness, is really a good person, Podol was excited like Yang Yi confessed his loyalty, Yang Yi let them go out to work, and then called the four 2s in.

The four 2s also came quickly, Yang Yi sealed the square piece 2 as the captain of the knight's guard, and the other three 2 were guards, promising that when he gained a firm foothold in Rock County, he would promote the landlord in Rock County, so that 2 would turn over and be a winner in life, but now, they must protect the manor and protect him, the knight lord, if someone approaches the manor and wants to be unfavorable to Yang Yi, in addition to sending a brother to inform, the remaining three 2 will take the sword and gun in their hands to protect the great dragon knight and stab the eyes of the intruder......
