Chapter 297: Secret Calculation (1)
The Lyle family is also a second-class wealthy family in the province of Casef, at least with a longer history than the Bell or Camille families.
The background of an aristocratic family does not depend entirely on the level of the official position held, but on the inheritance of the family lineage. The Lyle family has a heritage of thousands of years, and such a nobleman will not be discouraged even when facing the royal family.
Leslin. The Earl of Lyle, the heir to this generation, was his sister Jane. Lyle. The brother and sister and some noble children came to Candia City to play, but they didn't expect to encounter such a thing as an orc riot, and as a result, the most anticipated auction was also lost, and now the city is still under martial law, and what's worse is that the orc empire may be on the side at any time, and they naturally have no interest in playing.
On the side of the city gate, the investigation was particularly strong, although they were all nobles, they did not rely on their identities to cut the queue out of the city, but waited by the side, lining up like everyone else.
When Hathaway's carriage came, Jane. Lyle saw the coat of arms on the car...... This was the preserve of the nobility, and no matter how rich he was, he could not add a coat of arms to the carriage, so she concluded that a nobleman was sitting in the carriage. However, the thorn bird is still very rare, and she whispered to her brother, Kreslin. Lyle was only a little familiar, as if he had heard anyone say it, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
Just as the brother and sister were curiously inquiring, Marion next to him. As if it had dawned on him, Hollen pointed out that the coat of arms belonged to Hathaway, Countess of the Cordillera. Bell's family coat of arms.
The Lyle siblings had heard of Hathaway, after all, she was one of the few daemins in the Empire. And it was also from the province of Caself, the battle for the amine position of the Bell family, which was a very popular topic in aristocratic circles at the beginning, but Hathaway was low-key, rarely appeared in front of people, most of the young nobles did not know her, after hearing that she might be in that carriage, the Lyle brothers and sisters sent stewards to invite her...... Mainly out of curiosity, and it is an indisputable fact that Hathaway's family, regardless of their background, owns a large area of real territory. And there are more and more rumors about that barren land. As close neighbors of the Cordillera, they had all heard of it, but out of caution, they didn't confirm it personally.
"Hello. Your Excellency Earl Bell. I'm Leslin. Lyle. This is the housemaiden Jane. Lyle ...... "Leslin. Lyle's personable ego but to be, and then introduced to those young aristocrats around him.
Hathaway greeted them one by one, but at the sight of Marion. Horen's time. But there was a flash of surprise in her eyes...... This guy shouldn't have much of a city, but now he pretends not to know her, and there must be something strange in it.
"Hathaway, are you going to Vermont City?" Simple. Lyle asked pleasantly.
The girl is fourteen years old, with fair skin, a little baby fat on her face, and long blond hair, very cute and charming. Although she and Hathaway are only new acquaintances, they are like old acquaintances and are very familiar with each other.
"No, I'm going back to the Cordillera Collar."
Hathaway smiled and said, "The Cordillera is now a critical moment in development, and I don't have time to go back. ”
"Your Excellency, I have heard that the Cordillera Territory is receiving refugees from the Kingdom of the Alps. However, the number of refugees is huge, and will the Cordillera be able to accommodate so many people? "Reslin. Lyle asked, a little curious, and the others had listeners on their faces.
The migration of hundreds of thousands of refugees is no small matter, and although these children of the nobility are also interested in enjoyment, they are not completely unscrupulous, and they are equally concerned about what is happening in the same circle. In the eyes of most people, taking in hundreds of thousands of refugees at once in the case of the Cordillera is tantamount to suicide. Some areas bordering the Cordillera have begun to prepare for martial law, so that they can guard their doorsteps in case of an excesse.
"The Cordillera Plateau is less populated and more populated, so it's not that difficult to contain." Hathaway said.
"Oh?"
Unlike the others who were a little gloating, Reslyn. Lyle, however, was very concerned about this issue, and he looked at the many people in front of him, and asked, "Can Your Excellency the Earl elaborate on this?" ”
"For most people, the most important thing to resettle refugees is their food, clothing, shelter and transportation. Clothes, almost no need for me to solve, in terms of migration, thanks to the generosity of His Majesty the Emperor, not only ordered the provinces along the way to take care of it, but also sent the navy to help transport it, saving a lot of trouble. What I really need to solve is food, shelter, and their future lives.
In terms of food, the Cordillera has had a bumper harvest over the past year, and we have purchased enough food to feed the refugees through the winter. The aspect of living is even simpler, the Cordillera territory has a large area of mountains and forests, and it is not very difficult to build wood for houses. And the winter will not be very idle, you can use the winter to burn a large area of land, and you can sow seeds in the spring of next year, and the Cordillera is building a port, a city, there are many opportunities for work, as long as those people are not lazy, they will definitely not be without food and clothing. ”
"Secluded."
Leslin. Lyle bowed his head slightly, he knew that Hathaway was a magician, but he didn't expect her to be so good at governing the territory: "However, I heard that the wheat seed of the Cordillera is a brand new crop, and it can be harvested in three months, is it true?" ”
Hathaway paused slightly, then nodded slightly: "It's true, the wheat seeds we use are an improved variety." ”
It was their turn to check out the city, and the conversation did not continue, but it could be seen that many people were still very interested in the subject. Hathaway was secretly amused, this seemed to be another good opportunity to make a fortune - after the Fairy Garden was promoted to the eighth level, the space area skyrocketed, and Hathaway instructed the plane spirits to plant all the open spaces with wheat, and soon a large number of high-quality wheat seeds could be supplied. In addition to satisfying the agreement with the Marquis of Abbe, a large number of them can also be sold, and I believe that many lords will need these grains.
These noble children may have average strength, but they have been active in the circle of high society for a long time, and they still have vision. Although Hathaway's title is not too high, the Bell family itself still has a certain heritage, and the Cordillera territory is vast...... Needless to say, if you manage all of them well, even if you manage a small part well, you will be able to benefit your children and grandchildren. And Hathaway herself, in addition to being an earl and a magician, has a beautiful appearance and elegant manners, even compared with the children of those ancient families, it is not far behind, for most noble children, this is definitely a suitable object to marry. Therefore, along the way, many people took great care of her, and frequently invited her to participate in some of the parties she held, but most of them were politely rejected by Hathaway.
"Hathaway, it's not right for you to do this, over time, you will be isolated from this circle." Simple. Lyle admonished with some old-fashionedness.
"I'm different from you."
Hathaway shrugged, "You don't have to worry about the financial side, at least for now. But I can't, not only do I need a lot of money, but the development of the whole territory needs more money, and I am thinking about how to get more money almost all the time......"
It was a little dark, and the convoy began to set up camp, these noble children all had a large number of guards, it was easy to do these things, and the whole camp was very well arranged, even if they encountered a group of thieves, they could rely on temporary fortifications to resist.
Originally, Hathaway was going to eat her own, but at the warm invitation of the Lyle siblings, she had to bring some fruit and fruit wine...... The fruit wine she brews uses the unique wine-making technology of the fairy family, and it is more mellow than the most famous elf wine 'Lan Luoyue', and it will definitely not lose her face.
"This wine ...... Like fairy tears. "Reslin. Lyle said with some hesitation after tasting it.
"Amazing!"
Hathaway really admired this time, 'Fairy Tears' is an almost lost elven wine, in the Titan world, the number of Fairy Tears that can be stored now is no more than a hundred, most of them are treasured in the royal family or some historic families, and listen to Leslin. Lyle's meaning, he even drank it.
Fairy tears?
The nobles present were surprised for a while, and seeing the way Hathaway spoke, they clearly admitted it...... However, the wine is indeed very good, and they all know the price of Fairy Tears, and they don't drink it for nothing.
"Still,"
Leslin. Lyle suddenly frowned again: "How is this wine preserved?" It's like freshly brewed. ”
"It was originally brewed." Hathaway smiled.
Freshly brewed?
Everyone was stunned, and Hathaway's gaze became strange.
"Is there anything wrong?" Hathaway asked.
