Xiao Chen had just cast the group charm technique, but with the strength of his great magician, he could already calmly control the power of magic, and there would never be such a thing as the people around him being overly charmed and doing all kinds of strange behaviors.

He just controls the other party's good impression of him at the level of trust, so that they feel willing to confide in him when they see him.

Judging from the boss's performance, this magic should be used just right, and although he still wanted to say something, he finally opened his mouth.

"Why is there trouble?" Xiao Chen asked.

The shopkeeper touched his bald head and said, "Because Baron Paragus manages his territory in a very different way from other nobles. ”

The boss pointed to a plate of roasted intestines in front of Xiao Chen: "The other lords treat their own people as food to chew and swallow, but Lord Paragus treats us as this plate. You'll swallow the food in your stomach and eat nothing, but you'll take good care of your plate so that it won't be broken and smashed. ”

"Because it's a useful tool?" Xiao Chen asked.

"Pretty much. Maybe it's better than a tool, after all, Master Paragus is still willing to listen to us. You know, lords like this are rare. However, it was not a good thing for him to do so in the eyes of the other lords. Therefore, Master Grappas does not allow us to talk about many things, and if it were not for my opinion that you are kind and reliable, such things would not be said to the strangers. ”

"Nobody wants to be compared to others and look like a badass. A guy dressed as a hunter next to him said, hearing the tavernkeeper speak, and the others slowly gathered back.

"But those guys are bad guys, rotten eggs that stink inside. My wife's brother had told me about the tax collectors in their village who had forced them to pay debts and whipped people on their backs, and I wanted to smash the lords with a hammer. With Master Paragus, that doesn't happen. The stout blacksmith said.

Another middle-aged man who looked a bit of identity said, "It's not just Baron Paragus, their Feng Wen family has been running this place for a long time, and they have always been good lords. They never oppressed us like other nobles, nor did they just know how to collect taxes, regardless of whether we lived or died. But Master Paragus is the best. For example, Master Paragus will lead all of us to dig ditches and build dams, and you know why our town of Goyo has been able to supply food all the way to Suero and is scrambled by many merchants? ”

The tavern keeper said, "Evans is the steward of our caravan, and he is still the most knowledgeable. ”

The middle-aged man named Evans nodded a little proudly and continued: "Lord Paragus has arranged a public granary in our town, and a part of the grain collected in charge of taxes will be placed in it, and if there is a disaster, or any family encounters any difficulties, the grain will be distributed to them. This warehouse is simple to say, but it has saved many families. ”

"And that agricultural guild, which couldn't be more important to us farmers. "Master Paragus has recruited some of the older peasants to stay in the guild, and although they are a little immobile, they can teach the young men how to grow the crops, and my son is taught how to grow the land, and now he is a little better than me." ”

His son, a young man sitting next to him, said, "The agricultural guilds don't do much more than that, they pick the good crops and leave the seeds for everyone the next year." And the guilds can also lend money to those who can't afford to buy seeds, and they can have a harvest and pay it back. ”

His father said, "Yes, since the establishment of the Agricultural Guild, our farming days have been much better. ”

The craftsman was old, and looked to be about sixty years old, and he said, "And the militia regiment, if it weren't for Master Paragus to let us organize the militia, how could we have lived such a peaceful life?

You young people don't know that when I was a child, bandits rushed into the town in droves, and if you want to save your life, you have to hand over the valuable things in the house, not only things, but sometimes even women have to hand them over! But then, Master Paragus organized the warrior group, and we were never afraid of the bandits again, I remember that at that time, we fought for five years, and completely swept away the bandits around here, and it turned out that the people from outside came to do business, and they were afraid of being robbed by these people, but since then, those caravan merchants have been much safer, and this is the later grain and timber business. ”

Evans said, "You see, that's why the people here respect Lord Paragus. The adult never said empty words, just did one thing after another, every time he did one thing, our life was better, after so many years, everyone's life has become better, who would think that he is not a good lord?"

Xiao Chen listened to their descriptions, feeling more and more strange. What these people did sounded very familiar to his ears, and even most of the things they did themselves were done, but the names and names were different. But don't underestimate these seemingly simple things, all these practices have a background and reasons in history, and the time difference between them is also very large, Xiao Chen feels that it is not a person at all, a family can develop naturally.

And this baron, it seems, has single-handedly pushed the production method of this territory forward for hundreds of years. In this world, the same thing has only been done by Chinese. Don't...... This baron is also a traverser?

Xiao Chen suppressed the shock in his heart and asked, "When did all these changes begin?"

The farmer said, "That must have been when I was very young, maybe twenty years ago." At that time, the Baron had returned from the royal capital and was ready to start managing the territory. In the early days, life here was not easy.

But when the baron came back, everything seemed to have changed, and one by one he made new things up, and then we followed him, and tasted the obvious benefits, and so on. ”
