It's been a decade since Lu Sien left the village of Rominia, and most of the snow along the way has turned into a babbling stream in the spring sun, and the wind has become softer, not so cold as a knife, but still not warm. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

In this spring when everything is recovering, Lu Sien's heart is like a dog on the road. A thinker once said that there was no road in this world, but when there were more people walking, a road was formed.

But the thinker did not say that the road of this magnitude would become muddy because of the snow that melted in the early spring, and that it was fine when there were a few people, but when a large army passed by, it was even more disastrous.

"The environment here is like a swamp!" Lu Sien roared more than once, but that didn't change anything. Of course, this situation will only last for about a month. In addition to the part of the snow that melts away into the stream, the rest will turn into the first spring rain, and a few days after the first spring rain will clear up, and the land will become again, well, I can only say that it is not so wet, but even the road conditions are more than they are now.

Lusen could have stayed in the town of Rouse for a few more days and set off when the roads were in better condition. However, the reality of the situation does not allow him to do this, because if he misses the first spring rain, he will miss the best time to sow seeds, which will directly affect the harvest of the first season in the territory, and Lu Sien is a good lord with a sense of responsibility. Otherwise, maybe the favorability of those crop men will drop a little bit.

Oh, the fish-lipped humans! Lu Sien looked at the troops behind him, uh, to be exact, the convoy, not very accurate, but there are still a few vehicles, let's call it that. A herd of cattle and sheep, a few small carts, fodder for the cattle and the bean seeds that Topitt bought for him, and pasture seeds. It's a pity that I didn't find the carrot seeds that Lu Sien wanted the most, but there are already clues, and they can be delivered about two months later, but there is no use for the eggs, for Lu Sien, if he misses this spring, he will have to wait until July.

In addition to these, it was his two knights, twenty idle villagers, and more than twenty robber captives, well, all of them should be regarded as Lu Sien's slaves now.

It came to pass that on the way back, a caravan of less than twenty-five men drove more than two hundred head of cattle, which seemed to the mountain dwellers who had been hungry and cold all winter in the early spring.

Here is an explanation of the meaning of the mountain people, their composition is many farmers who fled and evaded taxes, as well as the barbarian tribes that exist in the mountains themselves, maybe their ancestors are also fleeing farmers, they are relying on the mountains to hunt, and a small part of the cultivated fields and the medicinal materials in the mountains themselves to make a living, in idle business, occasionally pretending to be legendary adventurers, going into the city to use the fur of the prey, the medicinal herbs on the mountain for some food and salt.

Of course, because of its own low productivity, plus it has to face the purging of the lord of the mountain from time to time. Sometimes it was because of the anger of being robbed, and of course more often because of the so-called hunting, and the lords hated these maggots who lived in their domains and robbed at will without paying taxes. And the ignorant mountain people who only have one body of strength naturally have a part-time job with quick results and a low threshold, bandits and robbers, well, speaking of which, Lu Sien can also be counted as one of them in the past few years.

Such an antagonistic relationship is itself a dead knot, and the hatred between the lords and the mountain people has been going on for a long time, and it is not possible to say who is right and who is wrong, but only because of the difference in position, and the only solution is nothing but to increase productivity. Combined with his own experience, the new acting lord did not have the same view as most lords, and in his opinion, these people were his potential lords, well, the kind that would be taxed.

Of course, Lu Sien quickly changed his mind, to be precise, it was from the moment the group of fish-lipped bandits killed the first cow in the chaos, Lu Sien exploded. Don't look at Lu Sien's generosity in the territory, and he spends money lavishly in front of him, in fact, he is always picking, but he understands that for this barren territory, if he wants to develop, he must first make some upfront investment, otherwise if he relies on natural development alone, maybe when his brother's great-grandson's great-grandson succeeds to the throne, the territory will not be able to become a viscounty, and if there is not enough military merit, his brother will not be able to inherit this territory, or in other words, even if it is enough military merit to inherit smoothly, it may not take a few generations for the entire territory to be annexed by Count Blackhoof。

So when he can give birth to calves, he can grow up to have calves, and then he can grow up to give birth to calves...... After the cow was killed by this group of stupid bandits, he instantly changed his mind and no longer kept his hand, he still wanted to capture all the laborers, well, yes, when the group of bandits on the other side was still robbing him, he already regarded the other party as laborers ready to exploit them.

Yes, after paying the price of one cow, three sheep. A group of bandits of more than 40 people died directly in the battle, and after the battle, several people who were seriously injured were solved by Lu Sien on the spot, because their hands were stained with the blood of cattle and sheep, and several people were hanged. In the end, this group of more than twenty captives remained. Lu Sien was already planning how to carry out labor reform on this group of people who were not noble, pure, and low-level taste......

Using his fourth-level riding skills to operate the mount under him with ease, while thinking about life, the convoy behind him sent someone to bring him news, a news that he was about to explode in the past few days.

"My lord, the wheels are stuck in the mud again......"

Oh, that's enough.

The clockwork turned boringly again, and as dusk approached, Lu Sien finally heard the only message that could be considered good news in all this time.

"My lord, not far ahead, there is the small village called Akiyuki. The one who was in charge of the gang of idlers came up and said to Lu Sien, and then he said, "Well, is it ...... that you promised us a reward?"

"Well, Ellie, settle the wages for them. Lu Sien also had a rare time to deal with these small citizens, and with a wave of his hand, Ellie stepped forward and output 60 gold coins, "The excess is a reward for you, you must promote the benevolence of my Lord Lu Sien, and when you arrive in Yaxing Village, you and your people can leave." ”

"Yes, sir, your kindness and generosity will be sung here and will endure. "The consul's idler saluted very seriously, half of it was in the face of these dinars, and the other half was the tyrannical appearance of Lu Sien when he attacked the bandits.

......

When half of the sun's body was blocked by the mountain peak, Lu Sien came to the gate of Yayuki, and the people in the village had already discovered the traces of Lu Sien's large army, and they all gathered at the entrance of the village.

The village looks extremely poor and desolate, with little to no one who has the strength to work in the fields, leaving many of the fields deserted, and most of the remaining people are too thin to work or have left their homes to beg. The animals have either not been fed for a long time, or they have simply been eaten, and some of the remains are still left on the ground outside, and their bones are being eaten by wild beasts.

You remember that this village and the surrounding land belonged to the Marquis of Dikal of the Duchy of Bauhinia.

The locals look at you with blank faces (-3).

I was really stunned, Lu Sien was a little excited, although I don't know why, Lu Sien's relationship with this group of villagers was below zero from the beginning, but you see what I found, a village that is poorer than Moon Village, it seems that I am not the most dish.

Is this a thing to be proud of?

"Let your leaders come out to see me!" The eyes of these villagers looked no different from when Lu Sien first came to Moon, so Lu Sien didn't bother to talk to these mud legs, anyway, it won't be long before they would be grateful to Lord Lu Sien, just like the villagers of Moon, because they are all fish-lipped humans.

"Excuse me, are you Lord Lu Sien, our new lord?" said an old man with a sackcloth in the crowd before Lu Sien could speak.

"Hmm, old fellow, do you know me, tell me what your name is?" Lu Sien became interested, and his eyebrows raised.

"Yes, that's right, my name is Lorn, sir. Lawn carefully looked at Lu Sien's face, and then at the sackcloth in his hand, and then spoke.

Lu Sien understood, probably the problem was on the piece of linen that the old man was holding in his hand. In the old man's exclamation, Lu Sien flicked his horsewhip and picked up the piece of linen from the old man's hand.

Well, sure enough, let's be a portrait of Lu Sien, although Lu Sien's face does not have a single hair resemblance to the figure in the picture, but the image expresses Lu Sien's pitch-black cloak and wide-brimmed round hat The two characteristics are very clear, and the village elders can recognize him, well, very logical thinking.

"Let's see what's going on, hmm, Lawn?" With the old man's expectant look on his face, Lu Sien picked up the piece of linen with his horsewhip, and Lawn put it away with great gratitude.

Although Lu Sien was very repulsive to this dirty and smelly rag, for Lawn, it was enough to make a few patches for his clothes.

"Here's the thing, sir, the other day the lord of the town told me that you are going to make our new lord, and we are going to follow you to a new realm, and before you come, the lord told us to prepare, and we have packed up our belongings in the next few days......"
