Chapter Seventy-Five: The Assembly
The female lord had previously mounted a white dragon in front of Halvin and the others, and agreed with them that in half a month, all those who planned to rebel against those Wing Clansmen could gather in the green field.
After that, Ilea sent people to spread the news throughout the Western Realm, and now that the appointed time was approaching, the green field had become lively, and many nobles had already arrived.
There were not so many people living in the Teacup Castle, so except for a few distinguished guests, everyone else had to stay in the inn temporarily.
However, it gave a lot of people the opportunity to take a good look at the new town built by the Arias family.
Except for the rammed earth wall on the outside, which looks a little confused, the streets and buildings on the other side of the wall are quite beautiful.
Miss Rabbit took Li Yu's suggestion and made a city plan in advance, so that the main road in the city could accommodate four horse-drawn carriages side by side.
Although it seems a little empty now, when there are more people in the city in the future, even the morning and evening rush hours will not cause traffic congestion.
In this way, people who go to work do not have to get up too early, and they also have to free up the time they are stuck in the road.
In addition, the female lords also pioneered the establishment of drainage canals on the roadside, which were mainly used to collect, transport and treat rainwater and sewage.
The history of drainage canals can be traced back to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, when a drainage device called Tao Dou appeared in the city.
The ancient Romans also built a large number of drainage canals in the city in the 6th century, but they gradually disappeared in the Middle Ages, and it was not until modern times that they were really taken seriously.
Drainage canals are inconspicuous, but they can be very effective, not only to prevent cities from being flooded due to heavy rains, but also to further improve urban sanitation and effectively stop the spread of diseases.
The second point in particular is that the widespread spread of many diseases in this era is related to poor hygiene.
And the nobles felt the most in the new city of the Arias family, which was also in good hygiene, where no one defecated in the open and there was almost no smell in the city.
The stool officer made by the female lord before only existed for less than a month because of all kinds of drawbacks, but later Li Yu added the prohibition of open defecation to the precepts of the Shuangxiu Sect.
It was through the power of religion that the people of the Green Field were restrained, and the sanitary situation here began to improve.
Coupled with the rising demand for manure for composting, there are more and more toilets and manure pickers in the city, and over time, everyone's living habits have finally changed.
In addition, the brick and wood buildings also make the city look exceptionally neat.
However, the most eye-catching thing for the nobles is the special buildings in the city.
For example, a windmill mill where you can grind your own flour can provide hundreds of people to bathe together, a large communal bath in the northeast, a vocational and technical school used to train various craftsmen on a large scale, a large theater specializing in various performances, a textile factory, a paper mill, and a blast furnace......
These are all new things that have not appeared in the West, or even on the continent of Brattis, before.
And the people who live here also look bright, and everyone has a smile on their faces.
All this in front of them made the last trace of doubt in the hearts of the nobles about the Shuangxiu Sect also disappear, who said that the Shuangxiu will only make people more and more lazy?
Obviously, the people in this city seem to be full of energy.
In addition, these nobles also saw the white dragon that Lanita had brought to the west over the city.
It was as powerful as the legend suggested, exuding terrifying coercion, and most importantly, it looked like it had actually taken refuge on Saturday.
Every once in a while, it would land on the largest square in the city, eat the roast sheep provided for it by the Arias family and the Shuangxiu Sect, and then pat its belly with satisfaction, and fly to play in the Gaigu Swamp with a wave of its wings.
He had never hurt anyone, much to the astonishment of the nobles, many of whom had seen this white dragon swallow the sheriff of Rock Snow City in one bite.
The bloody scene at that time made them unforgettable.
And it's such a terrible monster, and now it's also been subdued by the Shuangxiu Sect, which gives some comfort to those who don't know how to defeat those Wing Clansmen, and some of the more anxious ones have even shouted to join the Shuangxiu Sect immediately.
The night before this rally, according to Fausto's statistics, almost one-third of the noble families had sent people to Greenfield.
This number had exceeded the female lord's initial expectations, but until the last day, the person she most wanted to see never showed up.
Clovis, the acting lord of Rock Snow City, and now the principal of the Figuerola family in the Westlands.
After learning that Ilea and Li Yu had defeated Lanita and her white dragon, he remained silent, neither sending anyone to attack Midori nor participating in the rally.
Very silent from beginning to end.
Miss Rabbit was not surprised by this result, but she could not hide her disappointment.
It's not that she can't understand Clovis's difficulties, the Figuerola family, as one of the twelve nobles of the empire, has a long history and a large number of family members, not only in the West, but also in many places.
The royal capital also has their people, and even the head of the family, Huls, is still in the hands of those Wing Clansmen, which makes Clovis have to be cautious when making decisions.
However, as a vassal of the Figuerola family, the female lord grew up listening to the story of Philip Snowpawlon, who led an army thousands of miles to help Alexandre, and pacified the western frontier in one fell swoop.
Naturally, Ireya also hopes that the Figuerola family will now step up and take on the responsibility of saving the West, or at least fight alongside her.
Even if the Figuerola family had bowed to Lanita and assisted the latter in rallying the lord to launch a siege on the green field, the relationship between the two sides deteriorated.
But even so, the female lord did not think of ending the relationship, refusing to continue working for the Figuerola family.
In fact, as long as the Figuerora family is willing to rebel against the Wing-Clan, Miss Rabbit doesn't mind giving up her position as head coach and charging for Clovis.
Unlike the other nobles, she didn't have much thought about the position of the Lord of the West, and the female lord thought it was good to do so now.
The relationship between her and Li Yu has been decided, and her greatest wish has been fulfilled, after defeating those Wing Clansmen, as long as she can nest in the green field to grow radishes and count the money, Miss Rabbit will already be satisfied.
But it seems that her wish will not be fulfilled.
Clovis has not taken a stand, but to remain silent at such times means that a choice has been made.
This well-read old man firmly believes that the Red Lion Empire is exhausted, and does not believe that with this spark in the West, he can defeat those invincible Wing Clansmen.
