Chapter 13 Goods Worth 100 Gold
As the lizardmen retreated to the edge of the swamp and began to cut down wood and burn bricks for production under the leadership of Li Yu, the green field finally returned to its former tranquility.
The day after the lizardmen retreated, the castle gates were opened, and the farmers who had taken refuge in the castle were released one after another.
Despite Alfred's refusal to object, Miss Rabbit insisted on following the refugees, wanting to see for herself the damage everywhere.
The villages near the castle were generally less damaged, as Li Yu had already awakened again and had been embraced by the lizardmen.

With his restraints, the lizardmen's raiding and vandalism have converged a lot.
Of course, as robbers living in swamps, the lizardmen regularly come out every year to prostitute the surrounding villages, and it is obviously unrealistic to expect how disciplined their marches are.
Even if Li Yu no longer rushes to burn and kill and plunder all over the green field like locusts under Li Yu's repeated emphasis, he will still carry any good things in his arms along the way.
Due to the peculiarities of the living environment, the lizardmen have an almost fanatical love for salt and ironware, and there is basically nothing left of these two things everywhere they pass.
Seeing that the harvest season was approaching, Yin Leia couldn't let those peasants work in the fields with their bare hands, so he asked Fausto, who was following him, to write down this matter, and planned to find Yago to allocate a low-interest loan for these people to buy farm tools after he returned.
And the situation of these farmers is not bad, compared to the farther away from Teacup Fort, and close to the swamp is the hardest hit area.
When Miss Rabbit arrived, she could only see a mess as far as she could see, and along the way three knights had come to her and cried to her how her own village and the people above it had been ruthlessly ravaged by the lizardmen.
If it was placed in the past, when the Arias family was not very wealthy, Yin Leia could probably only comfort them verbally, asking them to work hard and persevere.
After all, she herself had several Zhuangzi who were seriously damaged, but now that she had the money she earned from selling pepper in hand, the girl still gritted her teeth and squeezed out another sum of money to make reconstruction loans for those knights.
The interest is also very low, less than one percent per year, and they are required to pay it off within ten years, which can be said to be very favorable, and it is much better than those black-hearted chambers of commerce in Blackstone City who don't know their conscience.
After throwing so much money out at once, I can't even take out the money from selling pepper next time and next time to fill the hole, the girl only felt that her body was empty for a while, and her expression couldn't help but languish.
However, she still beat her spirit and looked at several other damaged places, and after this circle, she realized one thing, that is, she basically worked in vain during this time.
Not only did it dry in vain, but it also had to be pasted upside down.
In addition to the direct destruction, those lizardmen have also ruined a lot of crops, which is bound to make this summer's harvest much less than in previous years, and Miss Rabbit is really losing money this time.
She had already made up her mind, as soon as she returned to the castle, she would tighten her money bag and call on everyone to cut back on food and clothing, and she would not give her money in the next six months.
And that's exactly what she did.
It was only less than five days before Fausto found her again and reminded, "Miss, is it time for your banquet?" ”
"Banquet, what banquet?" The girl had completely forgotten about this, and said blankly.
"It's been a long time since you succeeded your father as the new lord of the Greens, but you haven't invited the other nobles to share in the joy and celebrate this sacred and solemn occasion."
"You want me to have a banquet now?" Yin Leiya frowned, "But now those lizards have just receded...... I'm afraid it's not the right time. ”
"Contrary to you, there is a feeling of depression and uneasiness that pervades the whole green field now, and it is precisely the need for some joy and festivity to make people forget the pain of the past and regain their strength."
Faust paused, and then continued, "It is customary that you should have held a banquet on the day you became a lord, but due to some special reasons, the banquet had to be postponed, and it was just in time for the castle to appear.
"Now that Neying has been caught, there is no reason for you to continue to delay the matter of holding the banquet, otherwise not only you, but the prestige of the Arias family may also be affected."
"But we've just spent so much money...... I don't think there's much left in the account. ”
As soon as she heard that it would cost more money, Miss Rabbit immediately became alarmed.
Fausto has been working as a consultant by the girl's side for this time, and has figured out the style of the new head of the Arias family, and he doesn't talk nonsense when he hears it.
"You don't need to spend any extra money, you gave me sixty gold coins before, you can use this money."
"yes, I almost forgot, so how much did you spend this money?"
"Seventy percent, but the rest can't actually be moved, because I have only ordered some of the goods, and I have not yet paid for them, and I have to prepare some bounties for the troupe and the bards."
Fausto knew what Miss Rabbit was thinking, and quickly added.
"That's right." The girl's face showed a hint of disappointment.
"The money you paid me is not very much, and this banquet is very important, and it will determine the first impression of the major families in the West, I hope you can pay attention to it."
The old advisor looked serious, "I need to ensure the basic decency of the Arias family, so it is difficult to continue to shrink. And if you're really short of money, why don't you sell it? ”
"Which cargo?"
"It's the one in the dungeon, it's worth a hundred gold coins." Fausto reminded.
Yin Leiya fell silent when she heard this.
Fausto persuaded, "I don't know what you're hesitating about, it stands to reason that after catching that man, he should have his head cut off on the spot and sent to Rock Snow City." And you just had him locked up.
"It's been three days now, and you still haven't ordered his execution, and if this matter is known to the Marquis of Cullen, I'm afraid it will cause you new trouble."
"I understand what you said, but I don't think his words are unreasonable, after all, more than nine hundred years have passed since the events of that year, and no one in this land still remembers the Enriquez family.
"Wouldn't it be too harsh to kill a person without hesitation for something more than nine hundred years ago?" The girl said.
"Perhaps, but it's the Figuerola family that rules the Westlands now." "And the successive heads of the Arias family have sworn allegiance to the Figuerola family, and you are no exception. ”
"I know I know I'm going to execute him eventually, it's just going to take some time, after all, I and he ...... Once a friend. Yin Leiya waved her hand and said with a tired expression.
