Chapter 105: The Noble Ball

Mrs. Lisa, who was resting in her chair at this time, smiled when she saw Alan coming, stood up, and walked over to Ellen.

"Alan, how do you have time to come to the manor today?" Alan has never been to the Barsoren Manor since he inherited the baroness, Mrs. Lisa asked curiously.

"I've come here to ask the manor keeper some questions about the estate's flax cultivation, but since you happen to be here, I don't have to ask the manor steward. Alan smiled and explained.

Mrs. Lisa hurriedly pulled Alan to sit down, and asked the servant to pour a glass of water.

"Tell me, Alan, what are you asking?" said Lady Lisa.

"That's right, I want to know about the situation of flax cultivation, after all, only the manor of Qinghuangling has flax cultivation now, and I have a lot of experience in this area. ”

Alan now wants to understand the process of planting and harvesting flax, so as to prepare for his next plan, after all, planting is not simple, only by understanding deeply, can he make a specific plan.

"Mmmm!" Faith brought the ledger!" Lady Lisa commanded the maid beside her, knowing what Eren was aiming for.

The maid Faith hurried to get the ledgers, and a few minutes later, Faith ran back with a large pile of ledgers.

"Whew! Mrs. Lisa's ledgers are here. Faith gasped, put down the ledger, and stepped aside.

Mrs. Lisa searched for a moment in a pile of ledgers, pulled one out of it, and opened it.

"Alan, I'll tell you about it!" said Lady Lisa, opening the ledger casually.

Alan nodded.

"There were four hundred and thirty-two serfs who had been cultivating flax for a long time in the Green Wilderness Manor, one hundred and two women, and three hundred and thirty men, all of whom had rich experience in planting. Each year flax is planted in late October, harvested in April of the following year, planted in early May and harvested in late September.

After the flax is harvested, there is basically nothing left except for the annual supply to the entire territory, which is also the planting data determined by the sales of flax in previous years.

That's the general situation, if you want to ask specifically, then you have to ask a serf, after all, they are the real experienced people. ”

Mrs. Lisa gave Alan idea of how flax was grown on the estate, as recorded in the ledger.

"By the way, there is also information about the serfs in the other baronial estates, including the cultivation of flax serfs. ”

Mrs. Lisa remembered at once that since she had been busy with the statistics and management of the various estates during this time, Mrs. Lisa had always carried the information about the various estates with her so that she could check them in time, and now it was good that the information was in the carriage in which she came.

............

Eventually, Alan obtained various data on flax cultivation from Mrs. Lisa, who had a total of twelve noble estates that cultivated flax, one of the original nine baronies, and three of them in Musen City.

The twelve manors together have more than 5,000 serfs who are proficient in flax cultivation, and the flax produced by these manors is really good enough to consume the entire Musen Territory every year, and it is impossible to expect the flax produced by these manors to be used to make linen cloth and sell it to other territories.

However, Alan already had a way, and his goal was not the poor flax production in these estates, but the more than 5,000 serfs who were proficient in planting in the estates, and he planned to move these serfs out of the estates in the near future to contribute to the linen plans of his team.

Of course, Allen's plan seems to be digging the corners of his own family and getting out the serfs belonging to the Charles family manor, so what about the shortage of serfs in the Charles family manor?

Regarding this matter, Alan knows that he can't rush it, and now is not the time, the flax plan is just Allen's fantasy, and it will be a long time before it is implemented.

Although Alan is the head of the Charles family, after all, it is Mrs. Lisa who is in charge now, and he can't directly make such a big gap in the family.

Alan clearly stipulated that everything in the manor belongs to the Charles family, although Alan is a member of the Charles family, he is not all of the Charles family, he also has younger siblings, O, and an older sister, all of which will have their share in the future.

Alan was sure that if he asked for it, Mrs. Lisa would agree, but he couldn't do it, and he had to think about the others, so these serfs Alan had to find a way to replace them from the family.

"My lord, where are we going?" said Bard as he looked ahead at Allen, who was sitting on a horse and walking forward.

"Hmm!" Alan came back to his senses at this time, he was so engrossed in thinking just now that he didn't even know that he had deviated from the direction of returning to Qinghuang Castle.

"Let's go, go back to the castle!" Alan said to Bard as he turned in the right direction.

Not long after returning to the castle, Alan was dragged by Erin before he had time to rest.

"Erin, what are you going to do?" Erin kept dragging Alan forward, and did not speak, until he stopped by the stone bench in the back garden, Alan said a little unhappily.

"Look!" Erin pulled an envelope from her cuff as if offering a treasure.

Alan looked at Erin, who was full of excitement, took the envelope suspiciously, and opened it.

It wasn't until after reading the content that Alan knew why Erin was a little excited.

This envelope is actually an invitation from the Night Collar, who has a little to do with Allen, and it is an invitation from Winona, the Viscount's young lady who came to the territory last time.

Winona wanted to invite Erin to the noble ball to be held in their family castle in four days, when the entire Viscount family in the Earl of Reagan would arrive, Winona thought of Erin and wrote an invitation.

"You want to go?" said Alan, looking at Erin next to him.

"It's... But I just want to ask your opinion, after all, you imprisoned Winona's brother last time, don't think I don't know, is it inappropriate for me to go?" Although Irene likes to participate in the noble ball, she is not unaware of the importance and is a little tangled.

"It's okay! If you want to go, go ahead! I'll arrange for a squadron of the Knights of the Blue Desolation to escort you. Alan smiled.

Erin's worries, Alan can also think of it, after all, he has just unified the Musen Collar and imprisoned Archis, which can be regarded as offending the Night Collar, and now that Erin has been invited, it is normal to hesitate.

However, Alan is not worried, the various viscounts of the county here, there is no dirt with each other, but he has never seen anyone who will embarrass those noble ladies who participate in the ball, after all, the nobles still value the skin, and no one will ruin their face for some trivial things.

"Don't worry, it's going to be fine!" looked at Erin, who was still a little hesitant, and Alan affirmed again.

After realizing that Eren was indeed not lying to comfort herself, Erin couldn't help but get excited and smiled at Alan. After that, he said goodbye to Alan and rushed back to his room, after all, the noble ball still needs a lot of preparation.
