Section 3
The fertile Serenpine could have made the Marne and Borg family richer than anyone else, but many times things were always full of drama and irony.
The Marnes have been old-fashioned and old-fashioned lords for generations, they only care about the taxes of their own land, and when they found out about this fertile land, they did a very stupid thing, which was to constantly raise taxes, taxes, and taxes on the local villages and towns.
The high taxes made the inhabitants of the Celestial Plains intimidating to the Celestial Plains, and even the newly immigrant bankrupts preferred to stay in the slums rather than go to the Celestial Plains to be exploited by their lords.
Years later, the loss of population left the few remaining villages and towns on the Syren Plains under the command of Covind.
Gray and Keith later arrived with their army to the Covind Territory, which had a new owner after a major battle, but this did not change the plight of the Covinde Territory.
The previous Prime Minister, Sir Laura, was determined to change the status quo in Covinde, and he proposed that the Cabinet should fund the development of the Syren Plains, and then provide interest-free loans to families willing to emigrate to the Syren Plains to stimulate the development of the Syren Plains.
The young Viscount Keith was very satisfied after reading Sir Laura's report, but he smiled and said, "I don't have any money at all, you can ask the opinions of Viscount Cage and Earl Lockton." ”
When Ser Lola had hopefully rushed from Cowinde City to Harrence City with his report, Gray's court butler, Sir Wren, told him, "Your opinion is already known to the Viscount!"
Sir Laura waited for ten days in Harrence without Grey summoning him again, and on the morning of the eleventh day, disheartened, he hired a carriage and drove to the city of Herrynn.
He thought that the wise Sir Dale would understand the importance of developing the Syran Plains, but after listening to his report, Sir Dale was silent for a few minutes and said, "Legally, the Covinder Collar belongs to Viscount Caith, you should know that, right?"
"Yes, Sir!"
"So, neither Viscount Cage nor Count Lockton wants the Covinde Collar to be too strong!"
It dawned on Ser Laura that he had left the city of Herion that day!
Since then, he has never mentioned the idea of developing the Syren Plain.
Therefore, there are almost no people in the Sailun Plain west of the Sushui River, and people walking on the official road are like walking on the grassland in the north, and a vast area leads straight to the sky.
To the east of the Sushui River, the Sailun Plain is the opposite, with farms and pastures where farmers and herders can be found everywhere, and occasionally settled villages and towns.
The wealth that this land has brought to the Borg family is no less than the charcoal business in the Red Rain Forest!
However, when it was Jeel Borg's turn to inherit the family business, several failed investments cost him money, and he even owed a large sum of money to a goblin prince for it.
The Earl of Borg during that time even thought about selling his fiefdom to pay off his debts.
However, a good harvest season in the Celex Plain relieved the earl, and in order to repay the debt, he levied nearly ninety percent of the grain in the Celent Plain at one time, and then in order to appease the mood of the people, he promised to be exempt from taxes for two years.
It turns out that if there is no need, it is better not to borrow money from the goblins, their interest will drive you crazy, and after seven or eight years, Count Borg's debt is only half repaid, which also gives Gray an opportunity to take a stake in Balan.
Yekwar Village, located in the middle of the Sailon Plain, next to the Sushui River, although the village is small, but very prosperous, the center of the village is densely populated with rows of luxurious noble villas!
In the summer, many of the noble families of Byanling choose to escape the heat here.
Al was now sitting in the hall of his villa, where he had only occasional free time to play, hunt, and fish, unlike other nobles, and where he had settled and where several farms and pastures outside the village were his property.
He sat on his favorite couch in wolf's skin, and his butler, the old man who had been by his side since childhood, was directing the servants to carry their luggage.
He's leaving here, and if he wants to come back, he doesn't know when.
The scene in front of him reminded him of ten years ago, when he was forced to leave the place where he lived and his hometown because of the war, although his hometown did not make him nostalgic, he was his hometown after all.
His hometown is in the royal capital of Suke.
More than ten years ago, the housekeeper next to him was still a little young, and at that time, he had a good job, a tax collector at the Royal Capital Tax Office. Moreover, his ancestors left him the title of viscount and several nice estates.
He seems to be able to spend his life without worrying about food and clothing.
However, the coronation of King Laubert caused him to lose his position in the tax office, and even his viscount title was demoted to baron for attending a banquet he did not remember, and all his estates changed without his knowledge.
Overnight, he lost everything, and the only thing of value was his villa in the Dawn District of the royal capital.
Al was furious and tried to appeal to the officials of the palace cabinet, but before his decision could be acted upon, his butler told him that a nobleman who had suffered the same thing as him had died in his bedroom after the complaint.
The news immediately discouraged him from pleading.
Three days later, Al sold his villa for a hundred gold coins, and he sent all the servants, leaving only the groom and the butler who had been with him for the longest time, but just as Al announced that he was leaving the royal capital, his groom, the honest middle-aged man, told Al that he was about to get married, so he could not leave with him! Al was very disappointed, but he was still very generous in congratulating him, and at the same time rewarded the other party with a gold coin.
Al may have deliberately forgotten that day, in his vague memory, he no longer remembered the specific circumstances at that time, he only remembered that the day he left the royal capital should be winter, because the unforgettable cold made him unforgettable for life.
"Knock! knock!"
Suddenly a rhythmic drum beat accompanied by waves of exclamations brought Al to his senses, and he realized that something was wrong, and he subconsciously looked at the saber hanging on the wall, which his father had left him, but he had never used.
"Al!"
The door of the villa was vigorously pushed open, and a middle-aged man in leather armor rushed in, he and Al had similar experiences, and the two of them had grown up together, and even the knight instructor was one person.
His name was Eric Londola, who had come to him in the third year after his settlement in the village of Yekvar, and he was the illegitimate son of a military family in the royal capital, and even after the coronation of King Laubert, his father's family remained unshakable in the royal capital.
He had a position as a squadron leader at the royal capital city guard, but for unknown reasons, he quit his job as a city guard three years after El settled in the village of Yekvar, and came here with all his possessions to run several farms with his friends.
He lived a very stable life in the rest of his life, in Eric's words - if in a few years, I might marry a wife here, and then I would be ready to retire!
Eric rushed in and shouted, "It's an orc, the goddess is above, it's a real orc!"
