"Banquet? You even received it this year, these stingy guys, they really won't let go of a copper coin. Uncle Vinnock took a sip of ale and scolded.

Arthur had a joke when he heard it, it seemed that this was still some kind of tradition, he basically didn't deal with the nobles before, and the relationship between the yeoman farmers and the nobles was superficial.

As for the Ade guys, it is impossible for him to pass on such gossip to Arthur, and it seems to him that the cow in the east and the horse in the west have given birth to a sheep, which is more interesting than that.

"You know, the harvest day in October, this banquet is for that time." This is obviously not a secret, as long as you go to Arthur, you will definitely know what it is for, and it doesn't hurt to know in advance.

Harvest day? How could it not be known that, apart from a few unique festivals in various places, it was almost the biggest day of celebration for the entire human race in the Overworld.

As the name suggests, a good harvest is the day of harvest, when the crops, fruits, and vegetables in the field are all picked and stored.

This is also the time when the peasants are at their richest, and after a busy year, they finally have time to rest, and then continue to survive the harsh winter and wait for the spring of the following year.

"Isn't it too early? What are you going to do now? Arthur was puzzled, and now it was not July, and there were still three full months to go until the harvest day.

To put it mildly, the harvest in the fields is still unknown, and if there is a drought or natural disaster in the summer, this year's harvest will have to become a day of mourning.

This is not unprecedented, a series of torrential rains caused the surging river to castrate hundreds of acres of grain, and the harvest of the Ard family was almost one-third of that of previous years, if it were not for the fact that Arthur's land was high enough to be close to the hillside, he would definitely have to be counted as one.

"For the money, of course!" Vinnok took another sip of wine and explained the matter to Arthur.

It's not complicated, close to July, the sweet potato, the main crop in the field, has begun to ripen, originally only vine leaves, and by this time the ground has already borne fruit, gradually growing and ripening with the summer sun.

For some monsters in the mountains and forests, sweet potatoes at this time are no longer edible and tasteless waste, especially a large number of field raiders, who are about to come out of the mountains and begin to look for opportunities to eat around human towns.

"Fight monsters? Shouldn't these things be left to the vigilantes? Arthur understood a little bit of what the uncle meant, but he had the impression that it didn't matter if it was a yeoman farmer.

"Of course it's their job, but by their slow drive, by August or September, I'm afraid that the mountains will be full of goblins, and even our receipts will have to suffer together." Uncle Vinnock can only be dissatisfied, but there is no way.

The land in the south is cool, and there is no threat from orcs, and the ancestors of the Peter Ryder family are very good at choosing places to put down roots, but they are not perfect.

According to the earth, Morado Mountain has good water and good feng shui, that is, everything is too good, resulting in too high forest coverage, and it is a good thing that there are many forests on the earth, and oxygen negative ions or something are enough to raise housing prices, but in the magical world, forests mean trouble, and it is not a small trouble.

What can be in the forest? Elves, goblins, druids, dragons, well, except for the former, the latter three are extremely rare, and they are usually hidden in extremely steep mountains, where there are some small villages at most, and they have little to do with humans living in the plains.

Elves are also considered a peaceful race, at most they are a little paranoid, and they prefer to live their own little lives, and the lord who can not see each other for hundreds of years across a forest from humans is not a threat.

However, the forest is not only inhabited by these intelligent races, monsters, and a large number of demonic creatures, of course, there are very few groups of powerful monsters around the human town, but the little guy is troublesome enough.

"You mean, this banquet is for the mercenary group to raise money? Just to drive away monsters like goblins and wild boars? Arthur couldn't laugh or cry, thinking it was something big, but it turned out to be like this.

Of course he knew that the town would invite a mercenary group every year, and at first he thought it was the practice of this world, after all, the wizarding world was in Arthur's mind, and the adventurer was not just a model of taking on a mission to fight a monster and earn a gold coin to upgrade a level?

But now that I think about it, where did I get so many gold coins to fight monsters? After all, the aristocratic family also lives on territorial taxes, and in Morado, a town that is basically supported by agriculture, everyone is farming, and the circulation of goods is basically driven by special festivals such as the Ascending Tower Festival.

It can be seen that it is not the people of Morador who attach importance to the festival of ascending the tower, but the festival of ascending the tower brings a rare and fast flow of gold coins to Morado, the more prosperous it is, the more lively the scene is, this is the so-called festival effect, the important thing is not the day, but what the day can bring.

"Isn't it enough for the aristocracy to make all this money? After all, they collect a lot of taxes. "Arthur is a complete poor man, except for the goblins, his current assets are negative.

Now the summoned goblins have completely eliminated the need for detergent, and are directly sent to the river to soak for two hours a day, otherwise Arthur can declare bankruptcy just for the cleaning of the little greenskins.

"Ordinary peasants pay, and the tenant farmers will naturally pay for the aristocracy, but we yeoman farmers have never paid for it, but we can make choices that suit our own interests." Uncle Vinnock said that his body was straight, and the pride of the yeoman farmer was engraved in his bones.

Usually easy-going, but Arthur can occasionally see Uncle Viñock's tough appearance, just like at this time, Uncle Viñock's voice retracted, and he said firmly with one hand.

"Homesteaders are a contract to ensure the security of the place by themselves, not only to this kingdom, but to everyone who lives on this land, and we can choose to raise our arms and defend our contract whenever we need it, rather than relying on money to solve problems."

By weapons? Is this going to be an uprising? Arthur looked at the appearance of the uncle, and secretly sighed that it was Qu Cai that you didn't go to form a party committee, but he understood the meaning of the banquet, and it can be summed up in one sentence!

"Isn't it 'money to contribute, power to contribute'? I kind of understand why I came to me this year, and the co-authorship is to see that I have reached the time to contribute! ”

Arthur touched his nose, it is true that his 16th birthday has passed unconsciously, and 16 years old can be regarded as an adult in the wizarding world, although he is not really independent, but he can already take on the obligation to fight.

"But that's a problem...... I don't have any money, I don't know if they can accept military divisions? "Arthur also has his own troubles, the poor bare-**** silk really can't afford to hurt, I'm afraid this strength is really not so good.
