567 underestimated the aristocracy of Europe
"They are subjects of Watt City, and everything in and around Watt City belongs to you, Big Brother, so I don't think they want any rewards." William said with a smile.
Since he can't catch anything, and he has so many ships in the Black Cat Pirate Group, then don't think about these two dogs.
It's just that he doesn't know what the two of them heard, whether he knew that he was plotting their formula, or if it was really just a coincidence that they took the initiative to come to William and deliver the formula.
Anyway, this recipe is completely out of touch with me now.
Thinking of this, he said to William: "But although I haven't heard about Bacchus wine in the past few days at the manor, I have heard an interesting thing from the people below. ”
"Oh? What's interesting? William asked curiously.
"The night before yesterday, I heard that a legendary ghost ship had appeared in the waters north of Watt City!"
"Ghost ship?" William laughed and said, "That's just a boring legend." ”
As he spoke, he looked at Alaric to the side, "Didn't you say that you are north of Watt City?" Have you seen or heard of ghost ships? ”
"No!!" Alaric looked sincere: "I've never heard of it, isn't that a myth and legend??" How could there be such a thing as a ghost ship in reality? ”
Big William and Little William had eaten and drunk about the same time at this time, called the servants to clean up the dishes, and then said to the two of Alaric: "Okay, you can go back, we still have something to say." ”
"Yes." Alaric bowed, then left with Tang Ping.
Tang Ping pursed his lips when he walked out of the castle: "You earls are really stingy, let us watch from the side when we eat, and in the end there is really no reward." ”
Alaric smiled bitterly: "Aren't all noble lords like this?" It's good that he can help us warn William Jr. ”
Then he asked with some curiosity: "Isn't it like this for the nobles on your side?" ”
"Of course!" Tang Ping said proudly: "In our country, nobles are not like this, especially there is a Pingguo Gong, who is even more approachable, generous and generous, and has done a lot of good deeds in his life by building bridges and paving roads." ”
"Ping Guogong? Lord Duke of your country? I really envy you!! Alaric and Tang Ping chatted and walked out of Watt City.
William's troubles are now solved for the time being, and the grape is almost ripe this season.
Even William didn't have time to make wine even if he got the recipe, so the wines on their docks that were being brewed one after another could still be sold for a good price.
Tang Ping has never been a thrift, and now that he has made money, he also made a lot of purchases in Watt City before following Alaric back to the docks.
After returning home, Alaric told the residents of the dock about the recipe, but these residents did not react much, in their opinion, they would be able to make wine in the future anyway, even if they only earned two or three silver coins a year, which was something they had never dared to hope for before.
Their own family can already live well on this, so whether or not the Lord of Watt City can make wine doesn't seem to have any effect on them.
As for the formula that can't be passed on, they have no opinion, it was originally something that made money for their own family, and now that the city lord doesn't let it be passed on, they will keep their mouths shut.
Back in their small building, Lao Cui and the others were very unconvinced.
No one has ever dared to rob them like this, but fortunately, everyone also knows the truth that the strong dragon does not suppress the head snake.
What's more, they're not strong dragons yet.
Tang Ping also saw that in Europe in this era, the rights of the nobles were much greater than those of the Tang Dynasty. In the Tang Dynasty, even the aristocracy must abide by the Tang Dynasty law on the surface, especially now that Li Shimin is in power, no matter the official position, he will not easily touch the Tang Dynasty.
But in Europe, these local nobles themselves were the rule-makers, and their word was the law.
Even these things on the land, in the forest, belong to them.
Tang Ping and the others originally planned to hunt in the forest at first, but after being told by Alaric, they learned that everything in the forest here also belonged to the city lord of Watt, not to mention hunting, even picking branches here was theoretically not allowed.
If civilians are caught poaching in the forest, they are subjected to severe punishments such as cutting off their hands.
Usually the residents of the pier eat mainly smoked fish and other seafood.
I don't know when the system will be restored, Tang Ping feels that it is better to be a little cowardly.
Anyway, I bought a lot of food in Watt City today, and the wine here can be sold for a while, so Tang Ping plans to lie down directly on the dock.
At most, the food is a little worse, and it's not unacceptable, just wait until the system is restored and then go back to Chang'an.
Fortunately, two pokers were found on the cruise ship, so that Tang Ping and Lao Cui still had something to relieve their boredom.
It was time for several people to fight until it was time for dinner, when Locke suddenly stumbled in.
"No...... No...... Oh no! ”
"What's wrong? Locke, you're not going to offend Mary again, are you? Tang Ping asked jokingly.
"No...... No, it's not Mary, it's outside the docks, and there are a lot of people! Locke said anxiously, "There are a lot of troops coming, and your sentinels have discovered them, and they have asked me to inform you and Uncle Alaric." ”
"Army!" Tang Ping stood up with a sigh, and the cards in his hand were scattered all over the ground.
Lao Cui and the others all took their weapons and followed Tang Ping towards the exit of the dock.
"Ping Guogong, just now I found that there are enemy troops approaching, the number is about five hundred, and there are still about four miles away from us, so I should be planning to attack us at night."
On a big tree at the exit, Tang Ping and they sent a Tang soldier as a sentry, just now he saw an army coming from afar with a telescope, so he hurriedly called Locke at the entrance of the village to go in and report the news.
"There are so many people, is it because little William is still not dead??" Alaric said with a frown.
"Probably not!" Tang Ping shook his head, the sentry guards said just now, it was obviously a regular army who came.
He still looked down on the European aristocracy, which should have been sent by William, and as for the reason, it is likely that he hoped that the recipe of the wine would be kept forever.
Tang Ping and Alaric had actually thought about such a possibility at first, but considering that there were more than 200 people at the dock, Great William, as a lord of the region, should not be so desperate to kill everyone to cover up this secret for such a recipe, right?
Now he knows that the nobles here are indeed different from those of the Tang Dynasty, and they really will.
"Uncle Alaric, can you leave the sea with someone?"
Going to sea is now their only way to live.
