Meron had heard of locusts, but what he really saw and what he heard were two different things.

In less than two months, the ground was bare and only a few dry branches and forks, and if there was no way to deal with it, there would be no crops this year.

In the past two months, not only has the land changed, but the people in the territory have changed the most.

After eating locusts for two months, regardless of whether men, women, and children are shiny, and there are traces of malnutrition on their faces, many people have a tendency to become obese.

Meron's escort team has also changed, from the original thirty or so people to more than a hundred now, and I don't know if it was arranged by God, plus O'Neid is just one hundred and eight.

Most of the recruits were selected from among the commoners, and a few were born into slaves, a practice that once again set a new world record.

What the reaction of others would be when they heard this, Meron didn't know, but Meron knew that the slaves in the territory had completely changed, and they didn't start to look numb at all, and they were all enthusiastic.

In O'Badon's lamentation, other slaves were forced to work, and slaves on the territory were spontaneously working overtime, and they were not happy to rest for a while......

I don't know when, when civilians and slaves saw Meron, they didn't simply call Lord Viscount, and every time Meron issued a new policy, they didn't simply shout that Lord Viscount's brilliance was shining.

All become "Lord Viscount Almighty, and the brilliance shines forever!" ”

Meron was also quite speechless about this title, but it also satisfied a little vanity.

Of course, Meron didn't have time to be vain now, but received an invitation from Bant to go to the Duchy of Bubai to participate in the nobles' deliberations.

The aristocratic meeting is not a large group of nobles to discuss something, but a comprehensive meeting in which the big nobles give instructions to the small nobles under their control, and the small nobles report their work to the big nobles.

Under normal circumstances, a viscount like Meron does not need to go to the Duchy of Bubai, but only needs to participate in the noble council held in Bant.

But this year, Bubai didn't know what to smoke, and invited all the people of the Principality with the title of viscount and above to participate.

A duke has three marquises, six counts, and six viscounts under the direct line, and the number of titles is in descending order from six to the smallest title.

That is, duke, marquis, earl, son, male, knight, six common titles, from the viscount and the upper titles, can be canonized second only to this title of the three nobles, the other titles are six for the full number.

In this way, there are three counts and six viscounts in the direct line of a marquis, a total of three counts and fifteen viscounts.

A duchy has a total of one duke, three marquises, fifteen counts, and sixty-nine viscounts.

These nobles were all landed nobles and were called real titles.

In fact, there are more people above the viscount level than this number, and some honorary nobles who do not have territories are not in this count, of course, the number is not particularly large, otherwise the entire noble title system will be chaotic, which will directly affect the centralization of the rights of the great nobles.

Bant was a direct nobleman of the Duke, and it was not too far from the Boubai Fort in the Duchy of Bubai, and it only took a week to reach his destination.

"You have to behave well when you have the opportunity to meet the Duke, and if you can get the Duke's appreciation, there will be benefits you don't expect." Looking at the bustling city in front of him, Bent whispered to Meron beside him.

"Yes, Lord Count!"

Meron replied softly, and Bant whispered, but the provincial Meron had made a polite courtesy.

This is also one of the reasons why Meron doesn't like these false etiquette, obviously Lao Tzu told his son, but he was so hypocritical by these etiquette.

Boudeburg is the largest, most prosperous and most lively place Meron has seen so far, except that there are no reinforced concrete cars, it can be called a city.

Of course, Bouberberg is not without its towering buildings, and from a distance, there is a very large castle in the center, which looks like a pyramid with a European-style roof on top......

According to Koda, this building is the Boubai Fort, which is five stories high and is the castle of the Duke of Bubai, the largest ruler of the Duchy of Bubai.

There is not only one castle here, but there are many castles of different sizes, but none of them can match the size and height of Boubaiburg, which is a sign of respect for the owner of the castle and a symbol of power.

The streets of Boudeburg are lined with a variety of shops and vendors, selling not only food and daily necessities, but also toys and snacks.

Those things are few and simple, but they also illustrate the standard of living of the civilians of Boubriburg.

is also a territory, the gap is not as big as ordinary, Meron found that Edinburgh is compared with others, it is simply the gap between modern people and primitive people......

The person who received Meron and the others was Woster Corddor, the big butler of Buffieburg, which was still stained with the light that Bent was a direct line of Buffie, otherwise no one would dare to say anything about a little butler.

"Oh, dear Bent Dubai, the Duke has been talking to me about you all the time, and you haven't been to the castle for a while." Vorster Corddordo is a warm old man who takes the initiative to greet people.

However, Meron believes that this old man must not be simple, and he can become the great butler of Budbaibao, which is equivalent to the chief of the emperor by his side, and there are no two brushes and ghost letters.

"The glory of the Duke shines on us forever! Butler Vorster Cold, you look more energetic than ever. Bant hugged the butler and smiled.

With a sincere smile, the relationship between the two is good.

"I think so too!" Vorster Corddordo shrugged his shoulders unceremoniously, glanced at Meron and the others and continued: "Let the young people go to the place they like, the Duke is still waiting for you in the study." ”

Obviously, the Duke wanted to vaccinate Bent and his immediate family in advance, so as not to make any mistakes at the meeting.

Meron and the others were also happy to go to another hall in Boudeburg, which was the place that Vorster Cordedor said young people liked to go.

A drinking party was being held there, and most of the nobles who had not been invited to the study by the Duke were here, and of course there were many aristocratic ladies with different purposes.

"You don't need any restraint here, this is a cocktail party held by the Duke for us, and it is an excellent opportunity to make friends with other nobles, everyone should cherish it, I will go first to see if there is a chance to win over a few allies for our territory."

As soon as he entered the hall, Korda spoke, it really looked like that.

But Meron looked at the direction where Koda was going, his forehead was full of black threads, and there were only a few women talking and laughing, and Koda's eyes were fixed on one of the young women in her early thirties, and her eyes didn't turn a bit......
