All roads lead to Rome, and a branch of red apricot comes out of the wall.

Ahem, it was a smooth journey from Sisdor to Solomon, and there were not even taller plants that could block the view, but it would be better if there was no silver-armored knight by his side who couldn't stop talking.

"Lord Copperfield, as the governor of Mackintosh Province, has seen those golden ears of wheat for ten years? Although most of the prosperity of Solomon and even Mackintosh Province came from merchants and the commerce they brought, Lord Marquis deeply understood that without grain as a cornerstone, all prosperity would be a castle in the air, a tempting illusion! So, all these years, Lord Marquis..."

"Vigorously develop the grain industry, take into account the overall planning, integrate resources, seek truth from facts, grasp the adjustment of the agricultural industry with one hand, grasp economic construction with the other, grasp with both hands, and be firm with both hands?"

"That's right, Mr. Ronald, although I don't quite understand what most of the words you say, but I can tell that you are on our side! In addition, those short-sighted people, whether new nobles or old nobles, only see the huge profits brought by merchants and commerce, plus the power from other provinces, if it were not for the Marquis to withstand these pressures, I'm afraid..."

"Hmm... In the face of the complex and volatile domestic economic situation and the many internal opposition, under the strong leadership of the Governor's Office of Mackintosh Province with the Marquis of Copperfield as the core, adhere to the general tone of agriculture as the most fundamental industry, vigorously develop the grain industry, and lay a solid foundation for the sustainable development of Mackintosh Province."

"That's right, Mr. Ronald! Almost every one of these words has reached my heart! I wonder if I can write down all these words you have said? I believe that the Marquis will be very happy to read it... Ah, rest assured, I will tell the Marquis that this is your masterpiece, Mr. Ronald!"

“... I don't have a problem. ”

Hawkers, if you really like it, it's no problem to write a hundred articles of this kind of thing, and it's not for nothing that so many years of news broadcasts have been watched. Also, is your attitude changing too quickly? Is it true that you don't wear a thousand sycophants? Sometimes, eloquence is also very important.

"Thank you so much!"

......

By noon, the not-so-long line stopped in the middle of the endless wheat field, although it didn't matter to me, but Luke, while talking about the importance of food, wouldn't it be good to cut the ears of wheat that were about to ripen in the wheat field as a stepping stone?

Ah, it's kind of comfortable to sit on here.

A combination of dried meat and sweet potatoes was stewed in a large pot set up not far away, and an unlucky spiny porcupine was roasted on the fire next to it, Luo Xiaotian never knew that the spiny porcupine actually liked to eat freshly ripe wheat.

"Ronald, this food is so basic, I hope you don't mind. ”

Under Luo Xiaotian's reminder, Luke's attitude finally returned to his original state, Luo Xiaotian didn't want to be respected by others because of his good sycophants. After thinking about it, Luke also reacted, his own attitude is really not what a formal knight should show, no matter what the reason.

As a result, Luke handed over a few plates, stewed sweet potatoes with jerky... Well, let's call it potato stew, with bread, roasted golden porcupine tenderloin, and Luke's prepared fruit, this meal is nothing more modest than those unlucky merchants who are firmly guarded. Each of them had only a piece of dry bread, and if they wanted to drink water, they had to see how the guards were in their mood.

Distributing the food to Ellie and Jasmine, who were quite well-behaved along the way, Luo Xiaotian also began to eat with Luke. As for Jerry, he didn't know where he had gone, and in short, he would definitely not be hungry for her.

"Luke, what are you going to do with these merchants when you bring them back to Solomon?"

"Hmm... Actually, you shouldn't have told anyone else, but if it was Ronald, of course there would be no problem. The Imperial Capital did send troops here, and most of the news you heard last night was true except for the time it arrived at each location, and of course, I can't tell you where the news came from. Therefore, even if it is unlikely that Solomon will have a war, the Marquis intends to prepare for it in advance, so what can be faster than to get supplies from these greedy merchants? Don't think they are innocent, the news has already spread, and it is self-evident what the people who remain around Solomon at this time have to do with it. ”

Oh, I do know that there are indeed a few innocent businessmen who have just arrived in Sisdor, and they have been arrested, which is really unlucky.

"Isn't war likely?"

"Of course, this time it's the Scarlet Princess Elena, and no one would want to fight her here, even with the walls. Moreover, if there was a war, it would mean that Solomon and the Marquis had completely broken with the Empire, which was something that no one wanted to see. Therefore, the next step should be confrontation, negotiation, and compromise, and as for the final result, in addition to the fact that the power of the Marquis will definitely be weakened, it depends on the will of the empire. The best case scenario is to take all the new nobles who have been dancing non-stop lately and throw them out as chips!"

Looking at Luke's gritted teeth, Luo Xiaotian cut a piece of roasted tenderloin from the plate in his hand, the tender and refreshing gravy exploded on the tip of his tongue, mixed with the elastic pork fiber, it was really an incomparable wonderful feeling.

I have to say, how to grill fresh meat and how delicious, Luo Xiaotian decided to wait for the matter of finding his parents and family to come to an end, and continue to develop some spices suitable for barbecue.

In short, knowing that it is unlikely that Solomon will go to war, Luo Xiaotian is also relieved, no matter who wins the final victory, it is none of Luo Xiaotian's business, he is just passing by.

"Ronald, if the Marquis is in crisis, you will help us!"

"Help you, but I'm just a beginner magician, so I can't help you at all, can I?"

"That's right, Lord Marquis himself is a fourth-order knight, and there are many knights under the city defense army and the marquis. Ronald, all I want to know is your attitude, because after being together for so long, I hope we don't become enemies in the end!"

Haven't we been together for so long? Isn't it just one night? Ah, no, it's a real night, but it's not that night.

“... Well, if there's anything you need my help with in the end, I'll help you guys as appropriate. ”
