Chapter 234: Return to Heidelberg (1)

"No, Lord Earl, it's not that they don't want to, but they have a very troublesome matter." Guise. McKennello said.

"What's the trouble?" Hathaway asked calmly. After coming to this wonderful world, she encountered too many troubles, and it seemed that one or two more things were nothing.

"Entry into the Otiga Empire requires the permission of His Majesty the Emperor of your country, and the commissioners who manage refugees have no way to reach the upper echelons of the Empire." Guise. McKennello looked at Hathaway, and the intention was self-evident.

"Your Excellency, how is your orchestra arranged? Has the wheat been planted? Hathaway didn't answer directly, but asked a question that didn't go along at all.

"Well, Lord Earl, the wheat has been planted as you commanded, and is growing well. However, "

Guise. McKennello paused and asked with some curiosity, "My lord, can these wheat seeds really grow three times a year?" ”

"There is absolutely no problem with this, but the corresponding irrigation needs to keep up, and the wells in the farm have been built?" Hathaway asked with concern.

Guise. McEnnarro's troops had entered the Cordillera and had formed three collective farms, which they had planted first and then built houses because they were rushing to grow wheat. The good thing is that it's hot right now and Petro. Hughes transferred a large number of tents, and finally solved the problem of accommodation, and the food of these thousands of people was nothing, and the supplies they carried themselves, plus the relief of the lord's palace, also solved the problem of food.

"The irrigation aspect is carried out exactly as you want. And now they are already clearing the surrounding wasteland, waiting for the wheat to mature this season. The area of arable land can be doubled. "Guise. McKennello replied.

"Good."

Hathaway was very satisfied, she pondered for a moment, and said, "Your Excellency McKennarro, your part is new to the city, and it stands to reason that you should be familiar with it. But you also know that the biggest group of thieves in the Cordillera territory has been wiped out, and it can be said that the Cordillera territory is at its best, but it is also likely to be the most chaotic...... We usually call this 'pre-dawn darkness', and I really need a stable and peaceful environment. Therefore, I hope you will be able to get on the basis immediately. Rectify law and order in the territory. In particular, it is necessary to pay attention to the collection of crossbow weapons from the civilian population......"

In the Ordga Empire, although some standard weapons are forbidden to be possessed by the people, some weapons such as swords, spears, and shields are still allowed. However, the control of crossbows is very strict. Slightly less formed local troops. Discretionary possession is not allowed. And while bands of thieves have been dealt with severely. But there are quite a few escaped thieves, and they are very likely to enter the town, which is a factor of instability. If they don't pay attention to law and order, they are likely to cause trouble.

After the crowd talked for a while, Guise. McKenaro took his leave and left, leaving only the old butler Bruno. Will, Bilin. Hegel, Irona, Cecia. Hughes et al.

"Your Excellency, are you going to Heidelberg?" Cecia. Hughes asked.

"Well, no matter what, I have to ask His Majesty to allow those refugees to come." Hathaway said.

Although this time the bear goblin thieves were successfully exterminated, the city defense army also lost some of its elite and needed to recuperate. Some of McKennaro's troops were incorporated into the city defense army, which replenished the lost personnel, but the thought of the potential threat of the dark region made Hathaway feel overwhelmed and had to solve the population problem as much as possible.

Seven days later, while the people of Mandy Gaza were celebrating the fall of the Bear Goblin Thieves, Hathaway's carriage was heading towards Gettysburg. Hegel and Alia. Fogu, the dignified King of Shadows, turned the coachman, sat in the place of the Mite, and danced the whip with a 'snap'......

Heidelberg, the rumor is the most popular, more than half a year ago, when the Countess of Cordillera left Heidelberg, some people asserted that she could not bear the hardship, and she would run back after a few days, some people asserted that she would be raised in captivity like a canary, and some people gloated and predicted that she would be robbed by those thieves and become the 'Lady of the Zhai' of a certain black hemp man...... In short, no one is optimistic about her.

With the passage of time, most people have long forgotten about this once hot topic, and there is no shortage of popular topics and entertainment in Heidelberg, and a countess in a remote area is just a temporary novelty. However, half a month ago, I heard that there were frequent wars on the Cordillera Plateau, first there was a rebellion, and the new lord was exterminated, and then the new lord raised troops to suppress the bandits, and wiped out more than a dozen bandit gangs on the Cordillera Plateau, especially half a month ago, the largest group of bear goblin thieves were exterminated.

Although he was emperor, his personal life was simple. The main course of dinner consisted only of a roast goose and two tender stewed pigeons, and in front of each person there was only a plate of cottage cheese and a bowl of vegetable salad and a bowl of fruit salad in front of each person, and many ministers had much more on their tables.

Of course, although these dishes are simple, they are also very delicious under the care of the court chefs, at least for ordinary families, it is still quite a luxurious meal.

At this time, in addition to the court attendants who served around and the Marquis Abbe, the head of the inner court, there was also the empress and a young earl who dined with the elderly emperor...... The young count's name was Leonardo. Beirut, about twenty years old, was tall and handsome, with blond hair that fascinated many young women in Heidelberg. His first appearance in Heidelberg was three months ago, and he quickly won the favor of Frewenlie XVIII, who frequently invited him to the palace, and after dining together, it was even rumored that he was the illegitimate son of the old emperor, and it was also the hottest topic in high society in recent months. At the moment, Leonardo. Beirut is burying his head in the most elegant standard movements, enjoying the grace of His Majesty the Emperor.

"Leon, I heard that there are finally new rumors in the capital recently?" Fivinlie XVIII suddenly stopped his knife and fork and asked.

Leonardo. Beirut was immediately stunned, he didn't know what His Majesty the Emperor was referring to.

"Your Majesty, I just came back from hunting outside, and I followed your call to enter the palace, and I don't know what rumors there are in the capital recently." He hesitated.

"The Countess of the Cordillera, you don't know anything about it, do you?" Fivinlie XVIII said with a smile.

"Oh, that Hathaway. Countess Bell? Before I entered the city, I had heard that the countess had made a lot of noise in the six months since she arrived in the Cordillera, but I had not had time to inquire about the details. ”

For the young countess, Leonardo. Beirut was of course curious, he had indeed just returned from hunting outside the city, but he was not ignorant of the rumors, but now that His Majesty the Emperor had spoken of it, he had been a little cautious.

"yes, a lot of movement."

Fivinel XVIII nodded slightly, for Leonardo. Beirut's cautiousness didn't care, "That's really a magical girl, if you had come a few months earlier, I would have introduced you to you." Hehe, I just wanted to make a few ripples, but I didn't expect to stir up a stormy wave. ”

"Your Majesty, I heard that she is very young and still a magician?" Leonardo. Beirut asked.

"Yes, it was probably her age that deceived her opponents into achieving such great success. It won't be long before she comes to Heidelberg, and you should get to know her. Fivinel XVIII said.

"Your Majesty, if Count Bell can really integrate the forces of the Cordillera Plateau, at least the northwest of the empire will be stable for a long time, this credit is not small, and it is also very important for the empire." Although he didn't know the countess, he was so happy to see the old emperor. Beirut also made a playful remark to liven up the atmosphere at the table.

However, these words woke up the eighteenth Emperor Fei Wenlie. As an aspiring king, he felt that the whole empire seemed to be dull after realizing his old age, and he needed a fresh medicine that would make him feel alive and energetic. At the beginning, with a stroke of his pen, he canonized the entire Cordillera Plateau to Hathaway, in fact, he wanted to give an eye medicine to those nobles who looked at him old and wanted to do some tricks. However, he did not expect Hathaway to give him such an unimaginable answer, which was beyond his best expectations.

It's good to be young!

Suddenly he realized that he didn't seem to know the young countess very well. At the beginning, the canonization was just a whim, and he never took a good look at the resume of the girl's family, only knowing that there were many conflicts of interest in this family, and it was because of her tenacious vitality that this girl went to Heidelberg and gave her a big stick by himself. But now it seems that she is fully capable of governing the Cordillera Plateau, and if she can solve the problem of those barbarians, then the Cordillera Plateau can truly become a barrier to the empire, and can also dispel the unrealistic illusions of those great lords...... As for Hathaway, he didn't think that this young girl would be any threat, after all, she lacked the support of a powerful family behind her, and as long as she expressed her willingness to be her backing, she would never be able to shake the rule of the empire.
