Chapter 788: The Visitor (Part II)

At this time, it is already the beginning of October, and the breath of autumn is getting stronger day by day. Led by Tetasho, people were busy with one thing, one very important thing, and that was the sowing of winter wheat.

Because the winter wheat must be sown during this time, from the beginning of this month, all the people under the territory of Tetasho will be busy.

Not only the people in the territory, but also many officials and village leaders in the territory of Tetashaw were the first to go to the fields to observe and inspect in person when they were busy with farming. "My lord, as of today, the Sebu Sutra has completed four-tenths of the sowing tasks in the territory, and in a few days, all the winter wheat will be sown. ”

Next to a farmland led by Tetashaw, there was a carriage on the road, followed by eight attendants, all wearing leather armor and eyes like electricity, observing the surrounding situation. Inside the carriage, sat two people, one wearing a druid robe and the other wearing a noble costume.

"Nick, the winter wheat seeds used in the territory this time are the first new varieties I have researched, I remember that some time ago, Prince Husenya sent someone over and exchanged one of the winter wheat seeds for a thousand gold coins, right?" "Yes, Prince Huxenya did send someone to exchange a thousand gold coins for a batch of seeds, and I did as you instructed, using the market price to calculate the price for him. Nick replied. "Are there any other nobles besides him who have come to ask for seeds?" asked Romon as he half leaned back on the carriage seat, continuing slowly.

"All the nobles who have always been good friends with our territory have come over to exchange for seeds some time ago, but the number is not very large, the first few times the seeds were planted, the yield has been very high, and now it is the time when the holy war is about to begin, everyone does not want to take risks, worried that something will happen, affecting the harvest of the territory, in my opinion, they probably want to see if the situation of this new seed is good or bad, and then, make plans." ”

Nick thought for a moment and said, "Actually, there is nothing wrong with them doing this, now that the holy war is imminent, if they can be stable, they will seek more peace, this is the mentality of almost all nobles." ”

"Well, they're doing the right thing. They are not me, they do not have 100% confidence in the new seeds, even if it is only a little bit, they are afraid, it is better to sow according to the seeds used in previous years, and they will get a straw harvest, so as not to cause some trouble for their own territory after the holy war begins. Romon said.

Since the last time Luo Meng encountered the direct attention of the gods, he has been very cautious, and the current seeds, in fact, have not increased much in yield, mainly because of the slight improvement in insect resistance.

Therefore, it really doesn't matter if it is changed or not.

Romon's thoughts were quickly turned to the holy war: "Nick, do you hate war?"

"Disgust.

Nick's answer was very concise, just two words, he could already express his thoughts, for him who was born as a commoner and was in charge of internal affairs, war was the biggest destruction.

At the beginning of the war, I don't know how many people were destroyed, and the foundation that had been built with countless painstaking efforts and time was often destroyed in a few months or even days during the war.

"I am also disgusted, but what we can do should not only be disgusted, but also should take advantage of all the favorable factors in the war, there will not be any big war, because of our appearance, there will be no regeneration, all we can do is to try our best to protect what we have, and at the same time, do something we can do. Thinking of some of the problems that might arise after the outbreak of the jihad, Romon felt that it was necessary to give his good friend a dose of vaccination.

"My lord, I think I know what you mean. Nick smiled faintly and said: "Actually, although I always say that I hate war, but with you and Fafer, the three of us have walked side by side for so many years, watching the Tita Sho grow stronger little by little, I know very well in my heart what kind of responsibility I bear, don't worry, I will not lose the burden on my shoulders because I hate something." ”

After a pause, Nick continued: "You're right, there won't be any big war, because of our appearance, there will be no more, all we can do is try to protect our own warrants...... Once the holy war begins, I am afraid that our course will basically be over. ”

"What you said is not wrong, the exhibition of Yuanfan Harbor now relies mostly on maritime trade, and once the exhibition is warned, the trade route will be sharply reduced to about 30% of the current level, even if it is not completely interrupted." Romon said. "Yes, I will analyze the prospects of the war and look for new ways to make money. Nick said. "I can suggest you a few paths. Romon thought for a moment and said.

"Your Excellency, please speak. ”

"In fact, we have a very big factor now, that is, there are often thousands of druids in our territory, and these druids, who spend in our territory, are a large number every day, which can offset many unfavorable factors. ”

Seeing Nick nodding, Romon said again: "But it's not good to only get in and not out, or only go in and out, I want to use them." "Utilization?" Nick asked, somewhat surprised. "Well, they all want to learn about ecological agriculture, but how can there be so many experimental fields for them? Why don't you rent some wasteland to them and grow vegetables. "Grow vegetables, do you want to swallow them now?"

"Of course, as long as you have this meaning, they have the means, and you can buy a large number of them, so that they can have both research and financial income, and they can live in the territory for a long time, and many students of our college also have the opportunity to participate in internships. "But what are we going to do with the vegetables?"

"You don't understand, although now our canned food (homespun) has spread out, it's not a secret, but once there is a war, this demand is very great, all the vegetables in our territory, maybe not enough for the military, after you buy it, you can hire workers to process it, and then sell it to the army. ”

"Isn't it very nice that when there are fewer merchant ships on the routes, and many people in the port are going to lose their jobs, then there are new jobs, and they can be maintained, and they can make a profit, and they can make a large number of druids contribute to the territory, and they can also keep many workers' families working?" said Romon pointing. “...... Your Excellency, you are wise and merciful. After hearing this, Nick couldn't help but use honorifics, and his eyes were full of admiration. Not only because it was a good idea, but also because Rosso had in mind the appeal and the interests of the people.

"It's nothing, it's the lord's responsibility, you're right, we're just trying our best to do what we can, and it's enough to do that. With a sigh, Romon said. “...... Yes, you've inspected the farmland today, where are you going next, going back, or going to school?" said Nick. "Let's go to school, I haven't been to school in a while, it's just time to see how the new students are doing. Romon thought for a moment and said. However, just as he was about to order the coachman to rush to Rock Town, a rider on horseback suddenly came galloping along the road ahead of their group.

The person who came suddenly reined in the horse about ten meters in front of the carriage of Romond, and the two attendants who were protecting the carriage touched the hilt of the sword vigilantly, and looked at it, but it was an acquaintance who came. "Is the lord in the car, I have something urgent to report to your lordship!" shouted the rider on his horse. "Your Excellency, the leader of the Third Patrol Team has asked to see you. One of the attendants closest to the carriage approached the carriage and said as he lunged inside. "Let him come forward. At this time, the carriage stopped early, and Romon replied in the carriage that whenever this is the case, there is usually a relative urgency to report. "Yes. After receiving Rommon's order, the attendant said to the rider in front of him, "Your Excellency asked you to come and report it." ”

The squad leader had already dismounted at this time, and when he heard this, he hurriedly trotted to the carriage, and at this time, the thick curtain had been lifted, and Romon was sitting in the carriage, and the squad leader hurriedly saluted.

Luo Meng looked at the people outside and said with a smile: "Okay, don't be polite, if you have something, say it, I'm listening." "Yes!" the team leader hurriedly stood up, very quick, !$ The news he got was told to Luo Meng in 1510.

"You said that Lu Zhenpei came back with a group of people?" After listening to the other party's report, Luo Meng touched his chin and said to the man: "Okay, I already know about this matter, I have worked hard for you, you go and get busy with you." "Yes, sir!" said the captain farewell to Romon and rode back the way he came.

"Romong, Lu Xiupei is back?" Nick sat aside and heard the news: "I heard you say before that the purpose of sending him to the Faith Kingdom is to bring back three subordinates you recognized when you were exiled, right?

"Well, then I won't go to school for the time being, change back to Yuanfan Harbor City, this Lu Xiu Pei is good, he was originally the top of the fourth level, so he sent him out remotely, it seems that he found his way on the road and became a knight, well, I don't know how the situation of Tekaxiu and them is. Luo Meng also wanted to see his old subordinates who had been absent for many years as soon as possible, so he ordered to return to the city immediately. In the city of Yuanfan Port, although it is autumn, it is still very prosperous.

In the territory of Tetasho, there are more than a dozen great druids, i& thousand druids, and there are many knights and mages, so it can be said that even the kingdom of Eske at this time is not as safe as the one brought by Tetasho.

Unless it is a person with a broken brain, he will choose to be the enemy of the Tertashaw Territory in this situation, at least, the people of the Zandtong Territory living here, as well as the caravans in the past, do not have to worry about any safety issues at all.

Without this kind of worry, the caravans are willing to pass through this place, and the economic exhibition in the territory of Tetashaw is naturally flying, and the policy implemented by Luo Meng has made the entire territory prosperous.

Among them, the performance of Stone Girl and Yuanfan Port City is the most prominent.

In Lomon's lord's villa, in the evening, a group of strange guests came.

From the moment they entered the lord's villa, there were many orders coming from inside, one of which was to immediately vacate a few vacant houses in the noble area so that these guests could temporarily live in. In addition, the construction of a mansion began on a vacant lot at the southern end of the aristocratic district. Naturally, people did not dare to delay, and after receiving these orders, they quickly conveyed them.

At the same time, I guessed whether it was this time, and what kind of distinguished guest it was, seeing this order flying out one by one, presumably, the mood of the lord at this time was very good.

In fact, when he first saw Lu Xiupei, Luo Meng was very surprised, and he was in a bad mood.

He had just returned to the lord's villa in the carriage, and received the news that Lu Xiupei asked to see him, and ordered him to come to see him...... By the way, Tkasiu's not here either, right? I heard you brought a bunch of people with you. "My lord, I ask for your forgiveness. Lu Xiupei immediately made a half-kneeling knightly salute, bowed his head and said. "Well, what's going on?" Romon was a little surprised, his smile faded, and he asked, "Could it be that Tekasiu and they had an accident?"

This kind of half-kneeling knightly ceremony is only held on formal occasions, in fact, it is not done on a daily basis, and it usually leaves with a simple salute. "Lord Tekasiu didn't come, he wants to guard your territory, but the seven knightly domains of the Phais Kingdom have fallen, but Lu Lie and Xiu Sang are not there. ”

"This Tekaxiu, it's still brainless, the two little guys Lu Lie and Xiusang are here? Haha, no, as for the fall of the seven knight realms of the Feisi Kingdom, this is within the preparatory department, why should you apologize. Romon said casually. "My lord, no, I recruited seven knights without your permission...... I ask for your forgiveness. Lu Xiupei knelt on the ground and did not get up. Luo Meng frowned and said, "What's going on, you tell me about it." "Yes!" As soon as he saw Luo Meng, Lu Xiupei didn't dare to hide it in the slightest, and took it upon himself to take matters into his own hands and bring back eleven horsemen from the Feisi Kingdom, all of which were 1510. These eleven knights, including father and son knights, still have seven knight families.

“...... My lord, they are the comrades-in-arms of the knights of Tekasiu, and I invited them here as soon as my mind was hot, and I have done this without your permission, please punish me!" Lu Xiupei knelt on the ground and finally said. Luo Meng was very angry at Lu Xiupei's unauthorized behavior. If this matter is big, it is to challenge the authority of the lord, and if it is small, it is also a crime of acting without authorization.

At that time, he walked around the room several times, and finally, he held back his anger and said to Lu Xiupei: "I hope that this is the first time and the last time, for the sake of you being a first-time offender" I will not punish you this time, there will be no next time. "Please rest assured, there will never be a next time!" Lu Xiupei lowered his head and said reassuringly.

Romon decided to let him go, but he still scolded him until he was angry, and then asked where the knights were.

When he learned that he was waiting in the hall outside, he restrained the anger on his face and showed a smile: "Since they are here, we can't let them wait for a long time, let's go out!"
