Chapter 373: The Second Village
Watching Gilles leave with Longe's fart, the villagers' eyes had changed when they saw Ye Yu, and in addition to gratitude, there was also a bit of admiration. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
One look, the frightened Longe didn't dare to move, in the eyes of the villagers, Ye Yu was already a god-like existence.
In the face of the villagers' warm invitation, Ye Yu did not stay, but just said: "I'm just passing by, I have other things." ”
In this regard, the villagers did not keep much, but every household came up with some special snacks in the village, which can be regarded as thanking Ye Yu for helping them solve the tax problem.
And Ye Yu didn't accept it, but just said: "Next time, if Lord Viscount's people come to collect taxes, you can hand these over to him." ”
After throwing down such a sentence, Ye Yu took a fast horse and left this village, which was only half a day's away from his fiefdom.
After leaving the village, Ye Yu contacted Venice and asked him to send a resident tax officer, preferably at the elite level, to collect taxes in the village depending on the situation.
Although he now made that Gilles dare not come to collect taxes, but this Gilles is only a tax collector after all, and he also ordered Gilles not to make a noise, and even hide it from his master, but he may not be able to hide it, so he must quickly seize the tax collection power of this village.
In this way, although it is easy to let the Grand Duke of Oiffel know that this "Grace" is from the Viscount's side, it will also attract the attention of the Grand Duke of Opheir, and the chain reaction will come.
However, Ye Yu didn't care.
Yes, the current Ye Yu doesn't care at all.
He had already decided to bring down Duke Potkaya, so it didn't matter if it was light or dark, he was sure.
From Giles, he had learned a considerable amount of information about the Archduke of Ophel.
The territory of the Grand Duke of Oiffel is 1.5 times that of Hubble, and it is the largest territory of the Kingdom of Oss except for the direct domain of the king. He is also the largest lord of the Kingdom of Os.
He was sixty-one years old, appeared to be in good health, and had five sons and eight daughters, four of whom were married, all of whom were descendants of other nobles. The eight daughters, five of whom are married, are descendants of other lords, and the remaining three daughters are very rare, and they all have a fief, although no city has been established, but within the fiefdom, they are all villages.
In the era of the First Main Continent, unless it is like Gnivele, the bloodline is cut off, and she is the only one left, there will be a woman to inherit the title, generally speaking, women are just tools for political marriage, and they have the right to inherit, but they will inherit the title when there is no other choice. Strictly speaking, there is no way for a woman to inherit a title.
And now, this Archduke Ophir actually gave his daughter a fief, still three daughters.
That's it, it may be that Archduke Ophir likes these three daughters, too loving and willful.
However, the three daughters did not build a city, and the financial, material and manpower of Archduke Ophir should be much larger than that of the Ice Soul, and the construction of a city is not a big deal, which is a bit suspicious.
However, it barely makes sense, Ophir loves his three daughters, but he doesn't go so far as to dote on him and build a city for his daughters.
So...... Why are there so many villages? And there are so many villages! In the extreme realm, villages are not established, but gradually formed according to the water and soil of one side, some displaced people who have not become city dwellers gather and settle.
However, if there are more than ten villages in a fiefdom, it is not suspicious, but strange.
Generally speaking, a fief, the largest fief, has seven or eight villages, and they are very scattered.
And in the fief of the daughter of the Grand Duke of Ophel, these more than ten villages are interlocking, so it is obvious that the Grand Duke of Ophir is planning something under the guise of his daughter.
Ye Yu rode quickly across the grassland, thinking in his heart.
Now, the Grand Duke of Ophir is very old, and it is estimated that there are not many days left, so his five sons, especially the four who are married, should be able to do some means.
But how to bring down this magnate, the most powerful man in the kingdom of Oss except for the king?
Just making a fuss about a few sons doesn't seem to be able to achieve that effect.
Ye Yu thought about it while galloping.
Before he knew it, the second village had arrived, and there were only three villages in his fiefdom, but they were all rich villages.
And this second village, which also seems to have about 50 people, has abundant crops outside, but there are many more fields than in the first village.
However, it was already nightfall, and most of the farmers had already finished their dinner, and it was almost time to rest.
When Ye Yu walked into the village, there was already one that turned off the lights, and then the chain reaction turned out three or four more lights.
Ye Yu turned his head and looked around, this village is quite distinctive, behind all the houses, there is a pine tree planted, the pine tree is old, the branches are luxuriant, the whole village seems to be placed in a pine forest, in the night, you can also feel lush and full of vitality.
After looking at it for a while, the lights went out a few more times, Ye Yu retracted his gaze and knocked on the door of a house with lights on.
"Who!" There was a sound from inside.
"I'm a passer-by, it's not early, and I want to ask if there are any safe places here where I can stay overnight." Ye Yu replied.
Then, the door creaked open, and it was an old woman who opened the door, seeing Ye Yu's dusty appearance, and said: "Young man, why haven't you found a place to stay overnight so late, it's very dangerous at night." ”
Ye Yu said curtly: "I'm in a hurry today, I forgot the time." ”
The old woman looked at Ye Yu again, her eyes fell on his nameless sword, and she stepped back a little invisibly.
Ye Yu also looked at the nameless sword, put the sword on the ground, and said: "I'm just a passerby, this sword is for my self-defense, I have been running around all year round, I always need some weapons, you know, there are many thieves outside." ”
The old woman seemed to have some doubts, but seeing Ye Yu's sincere appearance, and seeing that he was dusty, it was already dark, and finally invited Ye Yu in: "If you don't dislike the two of us for being old, then please come in." Our son's room is still empty and you can stay inside. ”
Ye Yu picked up the nameless sword, stepped into it, and then put the nameless sword towards the door to show that he had no malicious intent: "Thank you." ”
When the old woman saw Ye Yu's actions, she also knew that he was trying his best to prove that there was no malice. On his wrinkled face, he smiled slightly, and he put away his guard. (To be continued.) )
