"It's time for us to eat!"

The man snorted lazily and asked his wife.

The woman nodded and said, "Breakfast is ready, with fresh rabbit broth, black bean porridge, and a big pot of goat's milk!" ”

Listening to the name of the dish reported by the woman, the man couldn't help but be a little surprised, this fresh rabbit meat afterwards is not common, and the last time he ate it was three days ago when he took out a piece of air-dried meat at home.

Although air-dried meat is also meat, and it is a relatively luxurious food for most people in this era, men still don't like the taste.

His appetite was fed, and in the spring and summer they were never short of fresh meat to eat, even if there was no prey, Lord Baron, no, Lord Count now.

The Earl would often slaughter some lambs to improve their food, after all, every trade was exchanged, and the number of sheep in the Menders region had exceeded 20,000 by this time.

By next year, William would continue to trade with the Chekers, bringing in as many sheep as he could, and nourishing them with dairy products and meat.

"Yes, it's fresh rabbit meat, and this morning the tax collector and the two hundred chiefs in charge of our place came here with a dozen men and several wagons to deliver things to us.

"I looked, there was meat, eggs, black beans, some milk, and a lot of firewood in the carriage, and the tax collector asked me if the family could get by, and if I needed any help, these were all barons...... No, the Earl commanded it! ”

As she spoke, the woman said proudly, "Of course I told them that I didn't need it, just by our family, we don't need their relief, but in the end I asked for a small piece of rabbit meat to stew for you to drink!" ”

When the man heard this, he rubbed his hands together, put the felt hat on his head, and said to himself, "The Earl is so generous, and his kindness far exceeds that of any lord, and it is a blessing to be his lord!" ”

In the cold winter, there are always some poor people who can't get through, the man has such memories, when he was a child, he was always very curious, why his father and mother worked so hard, but still couldn't eat?

In the end, he realized that it was the nobles and monks who had taken all the food, and that every winter, every year people in the village would freeze to death and starve to death, it was a dark time.

The sky is gray, the earth is gray, the people seem to be gray too, and the panic of death hangs over the whole village every time winter comes.

It is like the most terrible plague that spreads in everyone's heart.

And now, life in the Menders area has been able to sleep quite happily, and it is said that last winter, except for those who disappeared inexplicably in the forest, not even a single person froze to death and starved to death.

And this year, where there is obviously no shortage of supplies, Count William still let the officials below distribute the supplies rain or shine, how can this make the people not moved?

They are not stupid, they just have no knowledge, they have not received education, who is good to them and who is not good to them, they are clear in their hearts.

After the men sighed, they sat in the corner and prayed before the meal.

"Almighty, all-knowing, all-making, omnipotent, O great Father, thank you for the life you have given, for the seeds of food you have planted, for giving us the right to live!"

"Holy Father, I pray to you, that my lord, Earl William, may always maintain his rule over the realm, such a merciful and generous lord is the embodiment of the Holy Son, please bless Count William and his family for the longest reign of Denlenburg!"

A family of three knelt in the corner, and the child and woman prayed along with the man's words, and they did not have any doubts about the words, as if the prayer was meant to be.

Not only in the vicinity of Mandesburg, but in the whole of Denlenburg, William gave this order, and it was carried out efficiently.

Don't look at William's silver coins now, but he is quite rich in physical materials, all kinds of meat, eggs, milk, grain and grains, there is no shortage at all, and sending those relief grains can be said to be sprinkled with water.

While the whole realm was full of thanksgiving, chanting William's kindness, and troubadours going around proclaiming William's kindness and generosity, William stayed in his bedroom in Denlenburg, lazily accompanying Wella to give birth.

Wella, who had been nine months pregnant, had a very swollen belly, and she was lazily lying on the chaise longue at this time, happily accepting William's caresses.

Lingsi was also waiting at the door of the room to serve, during this time, Wella couldn't have sex, and it was Lingsi who was always helping William solve his problems.

As a personal maid, this is also a tacit obligation for most people.

The fireplace in the room was blazing, and the smoked room was dry and warm, warm and very comfortable.

In Denlenburg, the heavy winter snow did not affect the production and movement of the citizens at all, and they went out to do all kinds of money-making work.

There are stalls, businessmen, small workers, and handicraft workshops, all of which abound, and there is a prosperous scene.

Coupled with William's move of the vodka production site here, production began to increase rapidly, which also indirectly contributed to the prosperity of the city.

Leaning against the window, William couldn't help but smile as he looked at the midshipmen running on foot around the castle.

The trainees ranged in age, from nearly twenty to twelve or thirteen, and they were all the eldest sons of the knights.

Now he felt that he had nothing to pursue, that he had a vast territory, that he had done, and that Denlenburg was as large as a small principality.

And the strong army, not to mention, he thinks that in the entire Tskema Kingdom, there is no stronger army than his own.

Not to mention that he also has heavy cavalry and knights, and the trainee knights who are training in front of him are also part of William's army.

As for the family, William already has a beloved wife, a little maid who likes him very much, and his child is about to be born.

Therefore, he actually felt that he had nothing to pursue, at most he was to start a war with the Middle Chekers, and the two sides practiced, even if they failed, it would not be a big defeat, so William was an indescribable comfortable psychology at this time.

Even every time Norwen and Hurim saw William, they were worried, and they could see William's comfort and slackness.

I have to say that William was a little confused at this time, and what he achieved had far exceeded his expectations at that time, so he did not adjust his mentality in time.

Even though he now seemed to be a very dignified count, the ambition and ambition of his letter had been blinded.

His mentality seems to have completely regressed from the previous otaku thinking, and after becoming an earl, he is already satisfied.
