Chapter 3 The Hearts of the People and the Guns
readx;
Several days have passed since Allen was summoned. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ infoAdam, who just had a combat unit, is still full of confidence, especially since this Alan has an invincible attribute, which is immune to any damage within the territory, and it seems to be a promising attribute.
A few days ago, after Adam summoned Allen, he left him to Eston for arrangement, and the butler gave Alan a complete set of clothes very professionally, no way, Blackstone Town has never had armed forces, and there is no standard equipment, so Alan can only be made to wear the housekeeper's own clothes. The daily patrol of Blackstone was arranged to calm the townspeople's emotions, and the butler hoped that the spearmen would bring some security to the townspeople. After that, the butler also asked Adam a few times, and Adam used different excuses to prevaricate the past, this question is really difficult to answer, I can't say that I carry a golden finger with me, this is a combat unit summoned by this plug-in, right?!Although the butler was surprised when the lord brought such a spearman, but Eston was very conscious of being the steward of Deria, since the lord didn't want to say more, then don't ask!
In the past few days, Adam, who has not been disturbed, has calmed down to study the use of the Lord's Cultivation Manual, including the option of novice help. After clicking on it, a lot of options pop up, "Suggestions for Territorial Taxation", "One Hundred Thousand Whys of the Lord", "The Structure of Civil Affairs and Military", "The Performance Art of the Lord", etc., after a few days of reading and research, Adam roughly understands the nobility and depth of the lord's profession?
Well, it's a promising career! In this world, it is better for a person who is not familiar with life to be a lord than to be alone.
I have to say that the magic of the lord cultivation manual, Adam, who originally had the idea of running away, has settled down and decided to be a qualified lord after learning about the content of the novice help. Well, first of all, the first step, increase the poor people's hearts, it's only 20 points, when the people's hearts are 0, the original people will become homeless, and the population will slowly drain away...... Commander Band, or something! It's scary to think about! Don't want it!
I am a man who dreams of being a great lord. Golden wealth, delicious food, beautiful maids, loyal soldiers! This is what I want! In the past two days, Adam has roared inwardly more than once, and the change in his thoughts before and after is so obvious.
In fact, it is very simple, human beings are social animals, no matter at any time, anywhere, if there is a similar kind of existence around you, human beings will not easily choose to survive alone, let alone you are the leader of this group of people. Adam didn't want to think about what it would be like to live alone in this world one day, so he had to work hard in advance.
Outside Blackstone, you can see a large area of barren land and dry dirt. This land without weeds is the cultivated field of Blackstone Town, and more than 800 people in the town point to this land to eat.
Eston was by his side to introduce the situation of the territory to Adam, the more Adam listened, the darker his face became, even if he didn't understand, he really understood, and found that his territory was really pitiful, there was only this piece of arable land in the town, the big one was quite large, the crops planted were similar to the potatoes on the earth, the living conditions were not high, but the taste was very bad, it tasted like white starch, dry, and if you ate too much, you would be extremely thirsty, and you would have to drink a lot of water if you ate a piece, and the wells that were previously drilled in Blackstone Town were barely enough, although there were so many shortcomings, but the point of this crop was still obviousIt is easier to store than other crops, harvested once a year, two seasons, regardless of drought or waterlogging can harvest crops, when the year is better, you can also save a little, in the barren territory, this crop is a very cost-effective crop.
Some time ago, most of the potatoes stored in the townspeople's houses had been plundered by the invaders, and now it is the end of summer, and the harvest season is just these two days, but the invaders who have occupied the mines are obviously also well aware of this crop, which is very popular in poor territory, and when it is time to harvest, they must come to plunder it. This is what Aston told Adam, and the shrewd butler thinks that the greedy intruders will come and steal the last food left in Blackstone!
Adam was full of resentment, more than 800 people had eaten potatoes for hundreds of years, no wonder the people's hearts were so low, and what was even more strange was that there were still people who came to grab this not very good tasting food!"Eston, do you really think that people would rob this kind of potato? This is a human eat! It's so unpalatable!" "Oh, my esteemed lord, you can't underestimate this, uh, potatoes?!" Yes, you can't underestimate potatoes, for hundreds of years, your people have relied on them to survive, in the barren Gobi, a food that can survive is precious, not to mention that it is easy to carry and store, those robbers will definitely be thinking about our food no matter what their purpose is! Lord Lord, be careful, you can't let those robbers succeed!"
Although he did not understand the meaning of the potato spoken by the lord, it did not prevent Eston from being full of resentment and anger towards the invaders, and the loyal Eston always valued the honor of Blackstone and Deria above his own life. Adam was no longer surprised! Although Adam had tried not to think about the group of scoundrels who had usurped the mines, he was still a little helpless when he knew that they would soon be coming to loot the only food harvest in Blackstone Town. After all, he is an inexperienced lord, after all, he is a lord who has no probationary period, and Adam also wants to be shocked by his tiger body and worship the enemy. This is unrealistic, so suffering exists, difficulties are obvious, and our Lord Adam will not give in easily!
Cheer yourself up in your heart, as a leader, you can't be easily defeated by difficulties! The top priority at the moment is to raise the people's morale, as for those invaders, the ship will naturally go straight to the bridgehead, and if you can't think of a solution, you won't think about it.
After in-depth discussions and repeated arguments with Eston Steward, Lord Adam decided to thoroughly implement the policy of sharing hardships and burdens with the people. Resolutely implement the actions of the people to lead the family, shouting out that the dawn of hope is just around the corner, and the difficulty is that we can't beat the slogans such as the hard-working people in my Blackstone Town... Do you think this is a joke again? Facts have proved that this is still effective! After all, the lords have personally gone to work in the fields! The people's hearts have finally risen a little, well, they have risen a little! Now it is 30 points, and it has risen by 10 points...
Adam is so angry! I have worked hard for so many days, leaving early and returning late every day, so close to the people, why don't you people understand the aspirations and ideals in the hearts of the widows? Why is the people's morale so low? How long and in what month will this be upgraded? Maybe my method is wrong? No! I have to change the method!
In the Deria Mansion, when Adam was still racking his brains to think about how to improve the hearts of the people, "Alas, if this continues, will I die young! I feel like my hair is going to be gray!" Adam tugged at his jet-black hair, thinking about how to improve the hearts of the people in the territory.
At that moment, Steward Eston hurried into the study, "Ah, my lord, I didn't mean to disturb your contemplations!" Eston said to Adam with an anxious face.
"Which bastards?" Adam was stunned: "Those invaders?!"
"Yes, my lord, the spearmen you recruited were confronting them at the gate of the town two days ago. "Eston was a little panicked. It's really that the front-end time invaders have put too much pressure on him, and no one in Blackstone Town can resist the powerful force, and even let Adam lie in bed for nearly a month with serious injuries, the poor butler has never been out of Blackstone Town in his life, and he has never seen such a powerful warrior.
"Let's go, let's see, what do those bastards want to do!" Adam had a black face, no matter how easy Lao Tzu is to bully, you can't provoke again and again, even if you can't beat it, you can't be bullied to the head and be indifferent!
"My lordβ" Eston grabbed Adam's sleeve, and Adam looked back and asked, "What's wrong?" Eston. Eston hurriedly said, "My lord, your soldiers are pulling the enemy in the foot, take advantage of this time, hurry up and leave the rest of the town, and wait until they are gone before you come back!"
Adam's eyes widened, "You let me escape?!"
Eston hurriedly said, "My lord, how can this be considered an escape? What if those bastards go crazy and rush into the town and hurt you like last time! Stay in a safe place, and let the soldiers do the fighting!"
Adam nodded thoughtfully, "What you said makes sense, I also think I should go into hiding, fighting is Allen's business." Eston tugged at the corners of his mouth and smiled, "My lord, your safety is more important than anything else, you are the hope of Blackstone, let us face these difficulties." "Eston who is middle-aged doesn't want the lord to be harmed, he has watched him grow up since he was a child, do you want Eston to find the unconscious lord from the mine like last time? Eston can't accept the fact that the noble lord will be harmed, and he won't allow such a thing to happen! Even for the nobles, for the lord, it is a very shameful thing to abandon the lord and escape alone, but it is better than giving away his life!
"But I believe in Alan's strength!" Adam looked into Eston's eyes and said with a smile, "Besides, my butler, the hope of Blackstone Town is not mine! but the people of the town, they are the most valuable wealth and hope of the territory of Deria, they exist, I am Lord Deria, they do not exist, I am nothing! Today there is a group of robbers in the town, I escaped, so what about a group of robbers in the future? Do you still run away? Do you have to face the murderous invaders, you have to face them unarmed? I can't do it!"
"Let's go, I may not change anything, but at least I'm a lord, and I'm going to stand in front of you no matter what difficulties lie ahead, right? I'm the heir to the name Deria!" Adam turned and strode towards the entrance of the town. "Although I'm scared, I can't do it if I'm a deserter or something!"
Eston was stunned, looking at Adam's back, feeling an inexplicable emotion spread all over his body, yes! This is Deria's will! Protect the people and bravely stand up for glory!
"Deria's will bathes me!" Eston roared, hurrying after Adam. Well, he's in a state of 30 percent work efficiency again. What a loyal steward!
At the entrance of Blackstone Town, the people of Blackstone Town gathered, bustling together, it seemed that the people in the town had come, and Allen stood in front of the people, holding his spear tightly in both hands, and looked at the dozen or so warriors in front of him with cold eyes. Heavily armed warriors.
"Boy, say it again, get out of the way!" the lead warrior yelled at Allen. Coming from a big family, he didn't say some dirty words, but he couldn't tolerate Allen's stubbornness anymore! They came today to scavenge some food and go back, the obsidian had been almost dug up, and they couldn't take it with them any more, and they were almost ready to leave for it, and it was normal to scavenge some things in a place like Blackstone Town where there were no armed forces.
It's just that a spearman suddenly appeared in the town where there was no armed force, which surprised them a little, and what surprised them even more was that the seemingly weak spearmen actually knocked down five or six of them in a row, which made him dare not act rashly, who knows if there will be a group of such strong spearmen in Blackstone Town.
Allen didn't answer, the tip of the gun rose slightly, pointing directly at the leading soldier who spoke, provocative! The leading soldier saw the taste of contempt and provocation in Allen's eyes, which made him angry, but he didn't dare to act rashly, while thinking of countermeasures, he constantly restrained himself from wanting to rush forward impulsively, and no longer knew the strength of the other party, rash attack was a stupid act.
In this way, before Adam came, Alan confronted a dozen or so warriors alone, and the people on both sides were silent, Alan was worried that the townspeople around him would be harmed, and the leading soldiers were afraid that Alan and other spearmen were also in charge, and everyone was waiting. Until the arrival of Adam.
