Chapter 369: The First Village
In the end, after the city was built, and after everything was on track, everyone went to the imperial capital to gather. After all, the big guys come from all over the world, and they must find a middle point, but fortunately, the imperial capital is not far from everyone, so they chose this middle point.www.biquge.info
Ye Yu was in the imperial capital at this time, and he became the host, he was quite distressed about this, he lived in a simple place on weekdays, where did he know where to eat and what was fun.
Well, let's talk about it then.
Ye Yu was very irresponsible to put this matter behind him for the time being, but this trouble was not without good effects.
At least, inspired by the party, everyone's enthusiasm has increased a lot, these people are already doers, and they are more attentive and active in doing things at this time. There are even those who have consciously taken the initiative to replace those who are in the hierarchy and have relayed the news of the meeting to them.
Seeing everyone rejoicing, Ye Yu and Venice also smiled unconsciously.
"Well, I'll go first." Ye Yu said to Venice, and the two of them had already returned to the tent at this time.
"So fast?"
"Sooner rather than later." Ye Yu replied.
Venice nodded and said, "Okay, are you sure you don't talk to Hart, Shanna, and Brother Zheng about this?" ”
"Don't say it, of course you can do whatever you want, tell them or not." Ye Yu said.
"You're already gone anyway, pat your ass and leave with your hands, right?" Venice teased.
Ye Yu smiled and said, "Exactly!" ”
"Let's go, let's go!" Venice waved.
Ye Yu nodded, picked up his nameless sword, and was about to leave, when he suddenly thought of something, and said: "Venice, I don't feel that the mining tools, farm tools, construction tools, and crop seeds you bought back are not enough, there are too few types of crop seeds, and the number of those tools is not enough, so prepare some more as soon as possible." ”
"Well, don't worry! But why do you need so many crop seeds? Venice said: "Crops also depend on the quality of the soil, and this is the annoying point of the extreme world." ”
"Try more, especially those rarer crop seeds, you can get some of them, and if you can plant them, then you will be developed." Ye Yu said.
"Makes sense." Venice nodded, and then began to make a list.
And Ye Yu didn't bother him, and left directly.
Ye Yu, who had left his fiefdom, rode a fast horse and headed straight for the territory of the Grand Duke of Ophel.
He took off his sumptuous viscount costume and replaced it with the unassuming costume he often wore to make himself look unsightly.
Galloping all the way, Ye Yu finally reached one of those villages that had been seized by the Grand Duke of Ophel.
The village is located on the plains, the soil is fertile, and the village looks very rich, with neat rows of village houses, clear roads, and a market in the center of the village, where there are often some wandering merchants who set up stalls and sell things that are not available in the village.
Looking at the houses, this village has about fifty or sixty people, which is considered a large village. In the fertile fields outside the village, the crops grew gratifyingly, Ye Yu got off the horse, walked through the crop fields, and entered the village.
At this time, it was in the afternoon, and the villagers were cooking in the pot, and the aroma of food was transmitted, and the whole village was filled with the fragrance of vegetables.
Ye Yu walked in, and several children were playing in the center of the village, waiting for their mother to call them to dinner.
Suddenly, when a stranger came in, the children were not afraid of life, but just ran into their own homes and called out to their parents crisply: "Someone is coming!" ”
As soon as they heard that someone was coming, the parents hurriedly ran out and said, "Lord Gilles, we have already paid the taxes!" If you pay more taxes, our children, we will go hungry. ”
Almost instantly, twenty or thirty people poured out of their houses and said babbling.
Ye Yu was stunned.
Giles? Tax?
No, the crops haven't been harvested yet, and it's not time to pay the taxes.
And the villagers were also stunned, because Ye Yu was not the Gilles-sama, just an ordinary foreigner.
Suddenly, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and their faces showed joy.
At the same time, seeing Ye Yu's stunned expression, they were also a little embarrassed, and one of the older grades said, "Welcome, stranger." ”
Ye Yu hurriedly said, "Are you the village chief here?" ”
It seems that this is a task......
The elder nodded and said, "Yes, I'm sorry to scare you." ”
With his mouth open, everyone else smiled kindly, and it was clear that this was a simple and hospitable village.
Ye Yu shook his head and said, "It's just ...... Forgive me, the crops have not yet been harvested, so how is it time to pay taxes? And it's not been paid for a long time, isn't that reasonable? I heard that Jeff City sent a viscount here, is that Gilles that viscount? That's too much! ”
"Alas......" the village chief sighed, and the others were also a little stunned.
"It's not Lord Viscount, I heard that Lord Viscount is a virtuous man. This Gilles was a tax collector under the Grand Duke of Ophel. ”
Suddenly, Ye Yu knew in his heart.
It seems that although the Grand Duke of Ophel collects taxes in this village, the people's hearts are still towards him. As for the unreasonable collection of taxes, it is naturally caused by the greed of the Grand Duke of Ophel, who collects taxes before the crops are harvested, and the taxes are not light, and even listening to the words of the villagers, that Gilles will come to collect taxes in the near future.
This has disrupted people's livelihoods.
Because it's not your own territory, is it casual to collect taxes? Anyway, it was the Earl of Hubble territory that was lost, not his own territory......
Therefore, people's livelihood is no longer concerned!
Tut!
This Archduke of Ophir is really bad!
A sharp glint flashed in Ye Yu's eyes.
"Can you tell me more about that? Maybe I can help you? Ye Yu said.
The village chief and the others were stunned, and then the village chief was stunned when he saw the nameless sword in Ye Yu's hand.
They've run into a ranger! Under the aristocracy, there are many injustices, and there are often some people who fight against grievances, and seek justice and welfare for commoners and even slaves without compensation, these people are called rangers.
Nine times out of ten, this person in front of him is a ranger!
"Quick! You please come in! ”
Thinking of this, the village chief hurriedly led Ye Yu to his house, and beckoned everyone to go in by the way.
The villagers were a little confused at first, so the village chief actually invited this stranger of unknown origin to his house and asked everyone to go with him, isn't this a measure that will only happen when something big happens in the village?
However, in the eyes of the village chief, they immediately understood.
This man may be able to help them!
Immediately, one by one, they were excited to follow the village chief inside. (To be continued.) )
