Chapter 188: Powerful?
The temperature is already very low in the evening compared to the daytime, and at this time, the residents should have returned to their homes to warm themselves around the stove.
But today it was different, with bunches of torches lit on the ice of Lake Norwich, and the inhabitants of the fishing village gathered here to look with anticipation at the big fish piled up in the middle.
"Mr. Village Chief, I hope you will be able to cooperate with the soldiers in a while and distribute them according to my method. Jason whispered to an old man standing in front of him.
"Please rest assured, Lord Marquis, the villain will definitely guarantee a fair distribution. ”
The old man was a little excited, and after listening to Jason's words, he wanted to kneel down and reply, because although their food could barely guarantee them through the winter, it was not easy to meet such a lord who thought about the living conditions of the lords.
Jason's first winter catch directly caught more than 10,000 kilograms of fish, so he decided to allocate five kilograms of fish to each person in this Norwich Lakeside fishing village as their meat for the next winter.
This small fishing village has a total population of just over 100 people, so Jason is quite generous to them.
"In that case, I'll leave it to you. ”
Jason nodded, and then said to a centurion behind him that this time he was in charge of assigning the work.
"Yes, sir, please rest assured!"
The hundred people beat their chests with their right hands with a serious expression and gave a military salute.
"After the distribution, go back and make fish soup for the soldiers, then rest for the night and continue tomorrow to see how much we can harvest in the first year. ”
After saying that, Jason got on his horse and left with Beowulf.
"All residents please consciously line up here, we will distribute according to the population of your family, if there is a person who maliciously disrupts the order, then he will be disqualified. ”
After seeing Jason leave, the hundred-man leader turned around and shouted at the chaotic villagers, if it weren't for the stubborn soldiers who were here to maintain order, maybe the villagers would have swarmed up.
They hadn't eaten meat in a while, and the meat they had accumulated before the winter had long since been depleted, and it was easy to have an accident when they went out hunting at this time, because the beasts of winter were very aggressive.
Usually even ferocious wolves take a detour when they encounter humans, but in winter they tend to attack humans on their own initiative.
It's not unheard of that hungry beasts will even sneak up on human villages.
And if a man in a family falls, the family is almost ruined, and this is the life of ordinary civilians in the North.
In the next two days, Jason led people to the net twice, and with the help of Beowulf, he did not catch the net, but there may be some small mistakes in the process of netting to delay time.
A total of about 30,000 kilograms of fish were caught in these two nets, which were later brought back to the town of Tieya and Erbia by cart with the army in Gareth.
"My lord, I'll quit first. Gareth commanded the soldiers to load the big fish into the cart and seal it off, and then came to Jason's side and said respectfully to him.
"Wait a minute, how have you been preparing lately over there?" Jason asked softly as he looked at the busy crowd in the distance, this guy has been very dishonest lately.
"We are ready, and if there is any change in the Count of Deay, we will be able to stop him at the first time. ”
Gareth replied in a low voice, this time a total of six nobles united with the Erbian army, and they were afraid that they would not be able to settle a Count of Deay?
"Let Beowulf come over in a few days to avoid any accidents. ”
Jason said with some concern, since he knew that he had a strong man like Lancelot under him, they still dared to make small moves, so they must have relied on it.
Because of the small movements of these people, Jason couldn't help but think of the greed of the Seven Sins of the fleeing Deep Blue Cross, and his group of strange subordinates were very difficult.
"I see, sir. Gareth and Beowulf looked at each other, then nodded.
"Go about your business, we're ready to head back to Ironfang. Jason looked at the sky and whispered.
This year, he does not plan to continue the winter fishing, otherwise it may affect next year's harvest, and this year's harvest of more than 40,000 kilograms has already surprised him.
"Yes, my lord, my subordinates retire, I wish you good health. Gareth bowed in his blessing, then turned to leave.
"Order, speed up, we'll get out of here early tomorrow morning. ”
Jason took a deep breath with a solemn gaze, and after the end of the year, he couldn't avoid experiencing a few skirmishes.
This guy from Count Dee is really an untrustworthy guy, he couldn't help but shake his head, he was very dissatisfied with this person's character, and he said that there would be no friction between the two sides in the future.
....................................
"My lord, can we really succeed in doing this?"
In the noble castle of the Count of Deay, the Count of Deai looked at a young man with a handsome face and a little beard sitting on the first seat and said, his eyes were full of worry that could not be dissolved.
"It doesn't matter if we succeed or not, you don't have any other choice anyway. The young man looked up at him, a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Jason won't let you go, so cooperating with us is your only choice." ”
This young man turned out to be Graham, who had led thousands of heavily armored cavalry to defeat Grand Duke Cameron on the battlefield!
He looked a lot more mature than he had been a few months ago.
He received Gwendlin's order to go to the royal city of Lopez to make contact with the traitor, and after getting bored, he went north with a dozen of his men.
Then, after hearing that Jason was also in the north, Graham planned to come and dispose of this madman who had dared to try to get his hands on Gwendrin.
“......”
Earl Dee was silent when he heard this, he was right, Jason could not have been assured of his existence in the North.
If he doesn't resist, one day the army of the Iron Fang will come to his territory with malice.
"Besides, you're not alone in opposing Jason's power. ”
Graham waved his hand, signaling Count Dee not to be so worried, they still had a group of allies.
"He has a lot of powerful people under him, and a killer who comes and goes without a trace, and they will be a huge problem. ”
The knight of Willis, who was standing on the side, interjected at this time, his tone was a little indifferent, he had no good feelings about these guys who suddenly appeared.
And he suspected that these people were not from the royal city at all, although this person had the coat of arms of the Marquis Garcia in his hand to prove his identity.
Because these people actually don't know anything about the situation in the north, even if Wang Cheng's control over the north is weak now, or even if he doesn't pay attention to the north at all, it shouldn't come to this point.
"Powerful?" Graham stood up and looked at Knight Willis quietly, with a strange smile.
