Burning Willow Village is going to be out of luck.

The second son of Tines should be lucky.

Thinking of this, the second son of the baron finally confirmed: it is really a knight leader beckoning to him!

It's really a knight's collar!

As if he had drunk a whole barrel of wine in one go, the baron's second son immediately had a large blush on his face.

The knight and the steward seem to be in charge of a village, but in reality their status is clearly a world apart.

In terms of power, the steward only has the right to manage, and if the matter is a little bigger, he has to report to the castle; The knight has the vast majority of the dominion, and only needs to consult the lord in matters involving other territories, such as fighting or fighting for alliances.

In terms of income, the steward had only a mouth, and a small piece of commons given by the lord of the village; The knight had no money, but the whole village was the property of the knight, and all the output belonged to him, except for the wealth that he gave to the castle every year.

In addition to these two aspects, what is more important is the inheritance: the son of the steward can theoretically become a steward, but often after two or three generations, he has to make way for the new steward who receives the order of the new director, and gradually declines to the head of the village, the clerk and the like, and in a few generations, it is likely that for the same reason, he will gradually become a craftsman; The knights have no worries about this at all, and as long as the village is still there, it can be passed down from generation to generation. - Maybe it could be even bigger.

In fact, even if it is the absolute number two or number three people in the territory such as the chief manager and the captain of the guard, the power and benefits may be higher than that of the knight for a while, but it is far from being possible to have the freedom and future of the knight.

Ministers and ministers, no matter how high the authority in their hands, are always just high-ranking servants.

The knights, on the other hand, undoubtedly belong to the lords.

For Tiness, who originally just wanted to pick a comfortable and wealthy village to seek a steward position, and at most occasionally fantasized about becoming the core "Something Official", even if he had made several mental preparations, the guess of the "knight's leader" was really confirmed, and such a big pie was really smashed down, and the second son of the baron was still smashed dizzy.

After taking several deep breaths, the second son of the baron forcibly calmed down, and after being excited, he quickly thought of the difficulties involved.

"Knight...... Thief...... Burning Willow Village...... More than fifty serfs...... Unlikely......"

The second son of the baron muttered to himself, spitting out a few short words intermittently, and the water officer Kert immediately understood: "Fifty serfs, of course, it is impossible to crusade against Burning Willow Village. But with fifty or so followers of Lord Los, things must have been different. ”

The second son of the baron floated through the long row of calm and orderly quasi-warriors in his mind, but at the same time, he also floated through the continuous rugged mountain roads and the condescending difficult levels, and calculated in silence, the second son of the baron shook his head: "It's still not enough." ”

"Your Excellency the Baron will definitely support some of the warriors as well."

"The territory is also tight." The situation of the territory, the second son of the baron knew in his heart: "Between the castle and the burning willow, it will take at least ten days for the messenger, and the warriors will act together, and the time will definitely be doubled...... In twenty days, the castle will draw at most about fifty warriors, plus about a hundred serfs to carry things. ”

"No, more than fifty warriors." The water officer shook his head slowly: "Akford leader, it's very big." ”

"The warriors are indeed large, but it is precisely because the Akford territory is too large that there are too many draws......" The second baron frowned: "The villages in the territory, as well as the teams that transport taxes in the middle, are more dangerous. ”

"Are you going to ...... the time of the crusade against Burning Willow Village" The water officer paused slightly before continuing, "After the autumn harvest?" ”

"Of course." The second son of the baron nodded as a matter of course, his expression slightly dissatisfied.

I'm not a fool...... Of course, knowing that food is the most important condition for preparing for war, it is not nonsense to talk about conscripting soldiers without waiting for the autumn harvest, without first protecting one's territory, without first ensuring the safety of one's own movement tax troops......

Hey!

Wait a minute!

The second baron straightened up sharply.

Opposite, the water officer was smiling and nodding.

"That's it." Seeing that the second son of the baron had realized the key, the water officer said: "The other territories, as well as our territory, used to recruit warriors after the autumn harvest, because only at that time will the territory have enough food for the warriors to consume. But now it's different......" The officer continued, "With the honeycomb that Lord Los has created, after one or two harvests, the territory can accumulate a considerable amount of food, and it is completely free to decide the time of the crusade...... Not...... For example, it was good during the summer service a while ago. ”

"At the time of summer service? Not...... That's right! The second son of the baron nodded violently, and instantly thought of the benefits of choosing the summer service to crusade: "During the summer service, hey, even if we can't kill the thief leader of the burning willow at one time, we can completely go back, and this damn thief has delayed the most important farm work in the summer service, I want to see how he eats grass and survives the next year...... Well, if you think about it this way, you can also sow seeds in the spring; Also, it is good to harvest wheat in autumn; By the way, and ......"

Thinking about it along the lines of thought reminded by the water officer, the head of the second son of the baron turned rapidly, and in an instant he thought of several ways to take advantage of the material advantage and drag the thief leader to death.

At this moment, the second son of the baron finally realized why his father and the parish valued the priest of Los so much.

It turned out that the skills of mobile honeycombs and artificial grouping made by the priests of Los not only make the lords and serfs more full, make the territory more stable and harmonious, but also greatly enhance the deterrence of the parish and the lord's ability to wage war against other surrounding forces.

"No wonder so! I see! ”

It was at this moment that the second son of the baron finally understood why His Excellency Father suddenly made up his mind to prepare to crusade against the thieves villages that had been disgusting for several generations of barons.

"It turns out that the cause of the 'knight's domain' is ......," the second son of the baron muttered, "the person I need to thank the most is Lord Los!" ”

"Ahem......" the officer coughed lightly.

"Hmm......"

The second son of the baron hurriedly looked left and right, but fortunately, the true feelings were revealed, and under the infinite gratitude, the slightly reckless words were not heard by the third person.

"Yes, I really have to thank Lord Loth." The water officer diverted the topic: "When the time comes to the actual crusade, the cowherd taught by Lord Los will definitely be able to take better care of the livestock." At that time, the serfs who carried things could also be much less, which saved a large amount of rations. ”

"The thieves of Burning Willow Village have always been disrespectful to the church...... the second son of the baron also thought of another point: "If Your Excellency Los is willing to say something, maybe the parish will be willing to help a little at that time!" ”

In this way, the more the second son of the baron spoke, the more he felt that the "knight's collar" was feasible, and the fire in his heart became more and more vigorous: "No, I want to go to His Excellency Father, I want to go to the villages, I will personally select the serfs to be exchanged for His Excellency Los, and they must be the strongest and healthiest serfs!" Don't let Lord Los suffer! ”

The second son of the baron has already figured it out:

After taking out the gang of thieves of Burning Willow, the warriors of the territory will definitely have to hurry back to their respective villages to suppress the place, protect the passage, and defend against foreign enemies.

At that time, the only force that can stay in Burning Willow Village will definitely be the more than fifty serfs of the Priest of Los Angeles, the stronger these serfs are, the higher their combat effectiveness, and the higher their deterrent power and ruling foundation will be against the group of villagers in Burning Willow Village who have been unruly for decades.

"Your Excellency the Baron will certainly agree. However, Lord Tiness's ...... "The water officer advised," "You don't have to go so early to the villages below. ”

"Huh?"

"It's best to wait until the group of serfs who can move the honeycomb of Lord Los have arrived in the villages......" The water officer paused slightly, waiting for the second son of the baron to understand, and then continued: "You will go and help select the serfs for your Excellency Loth." ”

"Hmm...... Oh! After thinking for a few seconds, the second son of the baron understood what the water officer meant: "Your Excellency, you have thought very well! ”

Very thoughtful indeed.

Moreover, this is actually another help from the Priest of Los!

Tines sighed with emotion, the second son of His Excellency the Baron, who knew quite well the image of the lord in the minds of the freedmen and serfs, and changed it to himself, or other lords who lived in the castle, and said to a few serfs, "You come with me, let's go to the village of Burning Willow and fight with the thieves, kill all the thieves, and those who survive can become free people." The second son of the baron is sure that except for the fool who lacks a string in his head, the other serfs will be used as deception cannon fodder.

However, when the serfs taught by the priest of Los arrived in the villages, became free people, and were given their own share of land, and achieved the double leap of "identity" and "land", with these living examples, when they went to search for serfs for Lord Los—or rather, for their future police servants and freemen—the credibility immediately soared exponentially, and it was easy to achieve twice the result with half the effort.

"Your Excellency, thank you for teaching me so much."

The second son of the baron said sincerely: "Is there anything I can do for you?" ”

"Well, it's a little ......."

The water officer was not polite, he deliberately stayed to wait for the second son of the baron, and actively gave advice, at this time it would inevitably become hypocritical to be polite, and the water officer said slowly: "I know seven or eight little ones, who are doing good farm work, and are in good health, and may be able to help a little when crusading." ”

"Thank you so much." The second son of the baron agreed without hesitation, and immediately promised: "As long as they arrive in Ranliu Village, they will all be police officers." ”

Both knew that these peasants were not so much a matter of care as an investment by the water officer to continue to strengthen the power of the baron's second son. The second son of the baron does not need to take care of these farmers on the battlefield, of course, as long as they survive, the living standards of these families will definitely improve a lot.

The second son of the baron continued to look earnestly at the water officer.

"And ......" the water officer's tone was a little more formal: "I have a nephew who knew a few words with me when he was a child, and he can also draw a little bit. ”

"Then he's the head of the village." The second son of the baron promised again.

"Ah, Lord Tines, thank you so much." The water officer, Kerter, bowed slightly and thanked him solemnly.

"Thank you as well." The second son of the baron also bowed slightly.

At the end of the business, after a few more gossip, the water officer said goodbye and left, and when he left, the water officer finally reminded: "If it's okay, you might as well get up a little earlier tomorrow, it's been sunny and the weather is good recently...... Not...... Your Excellency the Forestry Officer and the Agricultural Officer like to get up in the morning and blow a cool breeze. ”

"Oh?" The second son of the baron was slightly stunned, and then smiled and nodded: "It seems that my clerk and the head of the police service have also been settled." ”
