Chapter 215: Wheat Field
Although he doesn't plan to usurp power, he has to use it when he has the power in his hand.
Thinking of this, Luo Ming first asked the butler to arrange a small banquet for his group, and then asked him to send a messenger to send letters to the other nobles in the territory one by one, and make an appointment for a big banquet.
This is not to win their hearts and make them support their usurpation, but just to let them know each other and not make trouble during their own regency time.
He didn't plan to really do anything during the regency, just Xiao Gui Cao followed, as long as he didn't accidentally disgrace himself in front of Charlotte.
In addition, it can be regarded as exchanging feelings with them, in the future, Luo Ming will set off from Miana as a base to expand his territory beyond the border, at that time, he needs not only his own territory but also the support of Charlotte, which has territory in Miana, and the support and cooperation of the nobles who hold land, manpower and soldiers is also the better.
If nothing else, it is easier to spend money and ask them to borrow some people than to pull people from afar. It is also much cheaper to buy surplus food from their territory than to deal with greedy merchants.
After a full meal, they rested in the castle for the night, and the next morning, Luo Ming set out with his group towards his territory.
The butler was also with him, and he had to report the events of Charlotte's absence to the regent of Lockin, and there were some things that he could not handle that needed Lockin to decide.
However, in fact, it is not a big deal.
Luo Ming simply handed over these things to his follower Da Kang.
He had been the second butler of an earl, and had helped the count manage a land slightly smaller than Miana, and had done a good job......
As a result, he was suspicious of the first steward, and the third steward was jealous of his achievements, and cooperated to frame him, and was finally kicked out of the house and suffered several whips.
Relying on his connections as a housekeeper for many years, it is not difficult to find a job to make a living, but he is more looking forward to revenge than simply living.
It's not about killing the two villains who framed him...... This kind of thing is actually not difficult to do, just two stewards, spend some money to hire someone to have a chance to kill, after all, the butler can't have as good security measures as the nobleman himself.
Da Kang took a fancy to Luo Ming's potential, and hoped that Luo Ming, with his assistance, would one day develop successfully and his strength would soar, and then he would be able to go back to show off, in his words: "Let those two old thieves and little thieves be angry to death, and let the mediocre master who doesn't know people's hearts be blind in remorse." ”
Luo Ming suddenly remembered a story he had heard by chance:
Shigeji Takenaka enjoys the reputation of Xiao Zhuge in Japan, and is known as the world's unparalleled wise man. And although this man has a history of betrayal, no one thinks that it is a stain on him.
Because of the encounter with the mediocre lord, he initially hoped to make the lord wake up by admonishing him, but he was severely reprimanded or regarded as a deaf ear.
At that time, he estimated that he also had the ideal of "to Jun Yao Shun", hoping to meet Mingjun, and without Mingjun, he would strive to support his monarch to become wise.
However, the mediocre lord became more and more suspicious of his courtiers, and acted perversely, and Takenaka repressed his anger and implemented military admonitions, which only intensified the suspicion of the mediocre lord.
In the end, Takenaka Shigeji surrendered to the enemy in a fit of rage, and by the way, he took away several important ministers to surrender to Cheng together, but in a few months, the mediocre lord perished.
The vengeance of the literati is sometimes no worse than that of the warriors, and may even be more vicious.
Da Kang's plan is to disgrace his original owner, and to live with the reputation of "mediocre and incompetent", "easily deceived", and "missing out on good talents" in the future.
At the beginning, Dakang was able to properly manage the territory close to the size of Miyana, and he also made achievements, and now he is basically able to take care of Miyana's affairs.
He was the most experienced of Luo Ming's followers and had managed the largest territory, and after Luo Ming saw his ability to handle affairs, he directly appointed him as the head of Schönbrunn Territory.
Different from the system of ordinary stewards and stewards, Luo Ming was ready to establish a set of his own system from the beginning, and as his strength increased and the territory under his control increased, more people would join this new system, boiling frogs in warm water, and letting people adapt to this new system step by step, which was extremely beneficial to centralization and reform.
Otherwise, even if Luo Ming is in a high position, he is not much different from those old aristocrats, and he is subject to a lot of traditions and old systems everywhere, and if he wants to reform it, he will immediately touch the interests of a large number of people.
As for Schönbrunn...... It was the new name that Login had given to his knight. Although there is no Meiquan yet, it will be there when Luo Ming uses the spring secret text.
Although the speed of the ox cart was very slow, after two hours, it finally reached Schönbrunn.
The large wheat fields are full of plump ears that shimmer golden in the sunlight. A gust of wind blows, and the ears of wheat rise and fall, as if it were a sea of gold.
In another ten days or so, the wheat should be harvested, which is why Login had to leave Brandon and return to the territory at this time.
After the first use of manure, there is no doubt that the wheat will increase its yield and reap a good harvest—they must be present and let the people know who brought them the harvest.
In the minds of these hungry and struggling people, the lords who can bring a good harvest are probably not much different from the gods.
From then on, the attitude of all the people will be both awe and love for themselves, and after that, it will be much easier for them to do anything.
Grant was a little surprised to see the wheat field, let alone the followers who didn't know what Login had done.
Their eyes lit up, some surprised, some admired, and they all felt that they had come to the right place.
In this era, although commerce is more prosperous, it is only an embellishment, and agriculture is the foundation of all undertakings, whether it is because the land is fertile, by magic or by some other means to increase production, and to be able to obtain a good harvest proves that there is a lot to be done here.
And Dakang jumped out of the car directly, rushed to the side of the wheat field, looked around, and then picked up a wisp of wheat.
"Oh my God......" he muttered to himself, "what the hell is going on?!"
The middle-aged man was incoherent for a while, and kept looking around—and Luo Mingcheng's smile came into view at this time.
