Chapter 41: Austin's Thoughts
"Forget it, it's this distance, if there is any danger, don't bother Hawthorn, the matter of the bandits always has to be investigated. Austin said disapprovingly.
Before Chris could say something, the nobleman glared at Chris, who swallowed his words. The nobles, fearing that Austin would change his mind, immediately invited Austin to leave.
Seeing Austin and the nobleman go out like this, Chris's face sank, this nobleman's intention to hurriedly invite His Royal Highness Austin to the small hill on the outskirts is very problematic, and it is definitely ill-intentioned. However, His Royal Highness is not a stupid white sweet, just run out so simply, it is impossible not to make people feel strange, there should be some plan. However, Chris didn't dare to gamble.
Chris has also seen the follow-up policy formulated by Austin and Hubbard, and he has considered it very much for Illidako Village, if something happens to Austin at this time, this policy will not be implemented 1,000% anymore. Sure enough, you need to go along with it in case of accidents.
Of course, at this point, it is not the reason why he wants him to live, but the revival plan for his entire town, although it has not yet been announced, but when he was cleaning up His Highness's table, he accidentally saw it. This plan, if it is really implemented, will change the town dramatically.
Chris passed Austin's order to the clerk's office, and the clerks sent someone to find Hawthorne, who nodded, and when he was about to execute it, the clerk whispered: "This is what Lord Chris asked me to tell you, His Royal Highness went out alone with the nobles, and there may be danger, so please be careful." ”
Hawthorn didn't expect the people in the clerical office to say this to him, nodded and said, "You tell Chris, I know, I will arrange someone to protect His Highness." ”
"Yes"
After watching the paperwork leave, Hawthorn began to act in order. Dispatch all the guards who were training with you, and let them inform the team guarding outside the city, and start moving.
Generally speaking, he should have gone to support His Highness Austin, but Hawthorn glanced at the few people behind him with his eyes, and now these people behind him are all people sent by some nobles to monitor him, but he is afraid that if he moves a little, these timid nobles will not dare to act.
Austin and the nobleman had just walked to the gate of the city when they heard someone shouting behind him.
"Your Highness, please wait for me for a moment. Chris ran over and said.
"Hmm, didn't you go and give Hawthorn orders, why did you run here? Austin frowned slightly and said.
"I've passed the order to Lord Hawthorn, so please let me be with you. Chris said.
Austin looked at Chris for a moment and said, "Go back, you haven't finished the task I gave you, wait for me to come back and see how those farm tools are." ”
After thinking for a moment, Chris said firmly: "I want to follow you, please don't refuse." ”
After Austin smiled bitterly, he said, "Since that's the case, I won't say anything anymore, follow me." ”
"Yes, Your Highness. ”
After the three of them walked to the top of the hill, the nobleman wiped his sweat and said, "Your Highness, I'll go down and have a look first, you can take a look at this document here, and I'll come up later." ”
Chris listened to the nobleman's words and wanted to stop it, but Austin said disapprovingly: "Okay, go, leave us alone, just let me talk to Chris, you can go with your business." ”
"Oh, Your Highness, then I'll leave first. When the nobleman heard this, he immediately ran down the hill quickly.
"Your Highness, are you going to do ......it" Chris watched the nobles run out, and Austin didn't even look at it, at this time, Chris couldn't see that His Royal Highness Austin had a plan, so he was stupid, but he understood that there was a plan, but he still couldn't figure out what he was going to do, so he couldn't help but say.
"It's okay, leave him alone. Nothing will happen anyway, let me ask you, do you see anything?" Austin said calmly.
"Acting abnormally, there must be something wrong. Your Highness, they should be planning to trick you into coming here and killing you. Chris thought for a moment and said along his lines.
"Well, yes, they want to do this, but these things don't matter, and they stay in the mountains anyway, so let's talk about something else. After Austin stretched his waist, he said, "I'm so tired, it's been a few days since the trial began? It should be less than a week, and I'm planning the revitalization plan of the town, and there is no one who can help me coordinate the overall situation. ”
After Chris heard Austin's words, he silently followed behind Austin.
Austin took Chris to the top of the hill, looked at the large farmland below, and asked, "What did you say we had lost the most by conquering Illidac Village?"
"That time, in order to deter the others, the lord summoned almost all the force, I remember there were 8,000 men, and in the end there were as many as 5,000 casualties. Chris said, then thought about it, looked at the farmland in front of him, and said with some doubts, "Your Highness will definitely affect the agricultural production of the coming year, so you will study new farm tools, right?"
"It's true that the research of farm tools is because there are not enough farmers, but, these people you said actually have little impact on agricultural production, they are not engaged in production, and their losses are mainly to make everyone in the current territory have no sense of security, if I don't have a guard team, this is basically an undefended city, and any doubts and bandits can enter here casually and wreak havoc. Austin said a little speechlessly, "The main thing is the loss of materials, because the war requires the transportation of materials, so the small 2,000 cattle and 3,000 horses were levied." Without the lack of these things, the cultivation and harvesting of the next year's farmer will be a big problem. ”
"Your Highness, what does this cow and horse have to do with farming...... Ah......" Chris was a little puzzled when he heard Austin's words, but he quickly thought of those farm tools, and immediately understood the meaning of Austin's words, "Are the new farm tools used by oxen and horses to reclaim and harvest?
"Well, it almost made you take the topic wrong. The impact of the war on agricultural production was not significant. Austin remembered that the people here were still using manpower to cultivate, but something deeper, so he asked rhetorically, "You say, why does the lord levy about half of the tax so that people can't live?"
