Chapter 1 Robbery of People's Daughters

Next Chapter

Walking on the streets of Azuchi, Edgar looked at the bustling city and couldn't help but sigh, "No matter how many times I see Azuchi, I can't admire the handiwork of Lord Earl, clean city, neat houses, wide roads, dense crowds, noisy market, it is hard to imagine that this is a new city, and it is even more difficult to imagine that the builder of this city was Lord Earl, who was only thirteen years old at the time." ”

Edgar remembered that the Count, who was only thirteen years old at the time, fell into deep memories.

Julian had just been made Earl of Karazan by his father, Duke Widder McCarvey, and he accompanied his lord to Karazan, his fiefdom. As the only son of the duke, the first heir to the McCarvey family, I have to say that he is deeply loved by the duke, Karazan is indeed an excellent fief, there are many ports on the sea, commerce is prosperous, there is also a fertile grassland in the county of Karazan, breeding excellent Karazan horses, Karazhan war horses are tall and strong in appearance, and they are excellent war horses, known for their long-lasting endurance and short-term explosive power, and they are unrivaled in short-distance charges, and they are the best among horses.

When he first came to Karazhan, the Count looked at his fiefdom and rode his horse excitedly, but he and his retinue were so distressed that they had to chase after him in order to protect the safety of the lord. Count Julian was riding a gift from the Duke to his son before leaving, a Karazan horse of excellent blood, although still a foal, but its excellent qualities have been displayed, and the Count named him "Midnight", the Count said that it was because Midnight's black complexion was as deep as Midnight.

I was standing only one step behind the Count, and in the distance was the tall city of Karazan, with its meandering moat stretching for thousands of miles, and the dense villages were now rising with smoke and flourishing.

"It's beautiful, my territory, Edgar. The Count spoke.

"It is indeed a territory that matches your noble status. I replied

"But that's not enough, Secretary of Georgia. ”

The Count was formally addressed, and I immediately stood in awe.

"The main city of Karazan doesn't seem tall or majestic enough to me, the meandering moat is full of garbage, it's a smelly ditch, the villages aren't dense enough, it's still too sparsely populated, and there aren't enough ships docked at the port to unload their cargo. I want more, I want a more majestic main city, I want a clean and clear river, I want more villages, more people, I want more ships to dock at the port of Karazan. ”

"This will be where I started. The Earl said heroically.

"Your will will be the direction in which I am going. "I got down on one knee, and I knew then that my master was not to be underestimated, and that he must not be treated like a child.

So there was the first five-year plan, which was to build a new city as the new home of the Counts of Karazhan and the new residence of Julian. Although Azuchijo Castle is said to be a new castle, it is actually a new castle that was expanded on the basis of the original main castle of Karazan, and the name of Karazan Castle was changed to Azuchi Castle, which means "peaceful and happy land". With the savings of Karazan's territory over the years, Julian spent a lot of money to hire excellent urban designers to redesign the main city, demolished and rebuilt a large number of buildings, divided the functions of the city, and the city was divided into a new city, an old city, a port and an inner city, the old city was the original main city of Karazan, which was the main gathering place of the commoners, the new city was a newly expanded city area, new churches, bazaars were built, the port was expanded to accommodate more ships, and the inner city was a noble district and a residential area for the nobility. At the time of the establishment of the new city, Julian also issued a series of strict decrees, one of which declared that it was forbidden to dump garbage and feces into Hanoi, that large amounts of household garbage should not be thrown on the streets at will, that urinate and that the weekly garbage could only be left at the doorstep, that it would be collected by a specialist, and that violators would be punished with 30 lashes.

Under the vigorous promotion of Julian, the old Karazan City, the current Azuchi City has a new look, clean streets, fresh air, although it has been hindered a lot in the early stage of the implementation of the policy, which has stimulated public resentment, and was ridiculed by the surrounding nobles, even the duke has sent people to inquire, but under Yurian's strong suppression, the policy is still implemented as scheduled, of course, after the effect of the policy came out, the people changed from opposition to support, and Azuchi City attracted more people to live, the nobles from the beginning of the ridicule to the envy of the back, after all, no one wants to live in a stinky city full of excrement, and be careful about whether there is on the road when you go out。 Julian received the title "The Builder".

"My lord, do you think Azuchijo is a little strange today?" said Edgar's knightly squire, Max, as he rode down the street.

"No, I think Azuchi Castle is as beautiful and full of energy as ever. Edgar shook his head.

"My lord, you are really unexpectedly sluggish, and you have lived up to the name of a beautiful man. Max said.

Edgar does assume the title of a beautiful man, with an angular handsome face, golden curly hair, blue eyes as warm as the ocean, a high nose bridge, and a smile as soft as the warm winter sun, I don't know how many young girls have been attracted, and they are secretly sent to them, Azuchi City from noblewomen to commoners, from eighty-year-old ladies to eighteen-year-old girls are eager to spend the Spring Festival with Edgar, and it is rumored in Azuchi City that as long as Edgar Knight walks, even the sow can get wet underneath. Edgar himself was unaware of these rumors.

"Beauty is right, vitality is right, but beauty and vitality are not talking about Azuchi, but girls, beautiful and full of youthful vitality are gone, and now there is not even a female donkey on the street. Max said in a tone that he couldn't teach.

"Indeed, when we went back to the city, the streets would be crowded with girls to welcome us back, and girls would often bring us flowers, but today they are gone. Odd. Edgar was enlightened.

"It's you, not us. Forget it, my lord, I think something must have happened in the city. Max said.

"Something must have happened in the city while we were away, boys, run, our monarch needs us. At the same time, Edgar felt a strange aura permeating Azuchi City today, shouting and shouting at the same time as the soldiers rushed towards the city lord's mansion.

Edgar led the cavalry as he ran down the street, when a rider came running towards him.

"Your Excellency is the Knight of Edgar?" shouted from the other side.

"Yes, it is indeed Edgar, a knight under the command of Count Karazhan. Who is your Excellency?" Edgar held out his hand to signal the soldiers behind him to stop.

"Great, my lord, I've finally found you. I am the Mav Jimmy of the Earl's Court, and Steward Sebas learned of your return and asked me to come to you and lead me to the City Lord's Palace. Something big happened to Azuchi Castle while you weren't there. Jimmy said breathlessly.

"What's the matter, is the Earl in danger?" said Edgar, looking nervous.

"There is no danger, and you can rest assured that the Earl is in good health. It's just ......" Jimmy looked indescribable.

"Tell me quickly, what is going on? It is the duty of the subordinates to share their worries for the Lord, and there is no time to hesitate. Edgar urged.

"Lord Earl, Lord Earl, he robbed the people's daughter, and beat the people who came to the door and threw them into the river, and said that he wanted to marry this woman. Jimmy said.

"In this way, isn't it just robbing the people's daughters, hey, the earl has also reached this age. It's good that there is no danger. Edgar breathed a sigh of relief, "Wait, what are you talking about? Bastard, if you don't hurry up and say something so important, take me to see Sebas. Edgar suddenly reacted and said with a look of disbelief.

"Yes. ”
