Farming Road from Baron to Emperor

Chapter 117 Sorel's Little Thoughts

In the early morning of the next day, when the sun rose slowly and the warm sunlight shone on the earth, Charles and his party set off in full gear.

After a day of rest, the knights and infantry of Iris looked very energetic.Perhaps it was because many people in Kas town came out to watch the excitement, the soldiers of Iris Flower all puffed up their chests, head held high, and walked towards the outside with big strides.

The serfs and poor people who were watching around kept making exclamations of wonder, their eyes filled with envy.

However, Shire looked a little sluggish, his feet on both sides of the saddle seemed to tremble slightly, and he looked very tired.

Charles looked at the serfs onlookers, poor and energetic, and suddenly he saw Baron Haber in the crowd. Although he still looked stupid at this time, he took a bath and changed into a linen suit. Clothes look very energetic.

Charles didn't pay much attention to it, and after looking around, he slowly ordered: "Let's go!"

The black horse snorted, and the knights waved their whips. The horse seemed to wake up with a start, and the hooves fell heavily and then raised high.

Charles glanced at the butler in the castle of the eldest prince whom he wanted to send, and nodded slightly. "Please help me convey my thanks to His Royal Highness, but I have been away from the iris flower collar for too long, so I don't want to delay here too much."

"That would be a pity, Count Charles."

Charles's heart skipped a beat, it seemed that the eldest prince still had a letter to deliver.Without thinking too much, Charles clamped the horse's belly and urged the horse to gallop.

The snake-like team slowly moved forward along the country road. When the figures of the Iris infantry slowly disappeared, the poor in Kass town gradually returned home.

Along the way, they began to praise Lord Shire's kindness, and envied the good luck of the Iris soldiers. During the night that the Iris soldiers stayed, they already knew that the infantrymen were all serfs, and their conditions were even better than theirs. Not bad.

"What a lucky bunch."

"If only I could be a soldier, and have broth."

"Look where the old fool is still standing! The great Baron Haber, he has gone far, it's time to go back."

"Hahahaha! Baron, it's just a joke."

Habel stood stupidly in the crowd, seemingly unable to hear the laughter around him, staring at the figures of Charles and the others going away, a flash of clarity suddenly flashed in his dull eyes, but he still looked like that in the blink of an eye. Stupid look.

"Ah, na, let's go... let's go, good man... no..."

"Hahaha!"

……

Iris collar, wild horse town.

Sorrell walked around the house built by the log cabin with a few sheets of cardboard.Joy and sorrow kept changing on his face.

I hope everything will come true. The flower town does not have a specific mayor yet. I don’t know if it will be possible. If it doesn’t work, Iris Town will do.

Anyway, Ye Ma Xiaozhen couldn't stay any longer. In order to find out the population of Ye Ma Town these days, he completely offended the big family in Ye Ma Town.

As far as he knows, many villages were missed in the last census. If the tax is collected according to the population according to what Master Shire said, then the tax revenue of these people will have to be estimated by those small officials in the government affairs department and Mustang Town. businessmen are greedy.

When Master Shire ordered to check the population again to sum up his experience in farming, he used the newly established security team to check village by village, and finally found out the population.

The cardboard papers in his hands are his achievements, the specific population of irises, the farming experience taught by the old farmer, and the breeding situation of the war horses this year.

While he was daydreaming, a servant knocked on his door.

"Master Sorel, the messenger sent by the lord just now said that the lord has arrived in Mustang Town today and asked you to prepare for the reception."

He will also be called a master one day, and Sorrell's joy flashes across. If he can be the mayor of another small town, he will not be here for a long time and will not be safe.First of all, the mayor must be received well.

"The ones stationed in Mustang Town today should be Captain Joseph and the third battalion of Iris infantry. You send someone to tell him that the lord is here today."

Sorrell recalled the team brought by Shire last time, and the population of the newly established barracks in Mustang Town.Well, there is no need to requisition residential buildings.

"Let the cook who cooks for the Iris infantry make two more meals for the lord's team.

Another notice was issued, telling the hunters that they would get a silver coin if they handed over the prey they hunted today to the government affairs office. "

"Yes, sir."

"Let old Mark go to the government affairs hall. He will cook for the lord today, and then the prey from the government affairs hall will be handed over to him."

"Yes, sir."

Not far to the south of Wild Horse Town, a long procession is winding its way.

"Master Shire, we will arrive in Mustang Town soon."

An iris knight returned from the front, walked in front of Shire, and whispered.

"Well, I see."

With the road they opened up last time, they moved much faster this time.

Fina next to her was overjoyed.

"Finally we're going to Mustang Town, and we can finally have a good rest, aren't we, Charles?"

"No, that's not called a good rest, it will be more tiring."

After several days of wind and sun, Charles showed a helpless expression on his somewhat vicissitudes of face.

"Charle."

"Ok?"

"Can't you?" Fina leaned close to Charles' ear and whispered.

There was a moist, warm breath coming from his ears, Charles' ears shook slightly, and he said viciously:

"You'd better not ask for mercy tonight."

Silver bell-like laughter sounded beside Charles, like a clear spring, slowly flowing from his ears into the bottom of his heart, infiltrating Charles' tense heart.

After a while, the iris knights in front gradually stopped.Rice returned from the front of the team to the middle of the team, got off his horse, looked at Charles and said respectfully: "Master Charles, Mustang Town has arrived. Mayor Sorel and Captain Joseph are waiting for you."

Charles hummed and then rode forward slowly. The iris flower knights on both sides automatically dispersed to make way for Charles.Charles walked to the front of the line.

The open space outside Wild Horse Town was divided into two rows. One row was the neatly lined Iris Flower Infantry. They were neatly dressed, holding spears, machetes, and large shields.The vest made of animal fur is covered with a linen military uniform, the lower body is pants that are easy to move, and the feet are black and red shoes to distinguish directions.

In the other row were Sorel's servants leading the administrative officials of Mustang Town and the civilians of Mustang Town. Sorel stood at the front, his cheeks turned red from the cold wind.

"My lord!" Joseph and Sorel shouted in unison.

Charles nodded slightly, then rode to the front of the neatly lined Iris infantry.

"Warriors of the Iris family, the safety of the Iris territory needs you to protect it. I wonder if you have confidence?"

Under the leadership of the squad leader and the battalion commander, the Iris soldiers shouted loudly: "Yes!"

"Okay, they are all brave fighters of the Iris family, and each will be rewarded with five silver coins." Charles turned his head to look at the Iris knights and infantry behind him. "You escort me to Pella City. I can rest assured that you will protect the safety of the Iris family. Everyone will be rewarded with five silver coins."

Serfs with a family of five, if they were only half full, would only spend five copper coins a day, and these five silver coins would allow a family of serfs to live for three days.For the serfs and Iris infantry who came from poor backgrounds, this reward is already very generous.

"Thank you Lord Lord."

"Thank you Lord Lord."

The serfs and free people around looked at this scene quite enviously. They took care of food and shelter every day, and from time to time, the benevolent lord gave out rewards. It was great to be a soldier.

Charles led Fina into Mustang Town amidst the sound of praise.

Sorel led Charles and Fina into a luxurious room. The hot air in the room was blowing in, mixed with the aroma of food. When Charles walked into the room, he found a fire burning in the fireplace and wooden tables with Food, Charles glanced at it briefly, there was roast rabbit, stewed pheasant with mushrooms, white bread, and a pot of broth.

Seeing that the two of them had something to talk about, Fina walked into the inner room quite intimately.Only Charles and Sorel were left in the hall.

"Sorrell, are the food and houses ready for the Iris soldiers?"

"Lord, it's ready. The house is in the barracks in Mustang Town. The food is black bread and broth." Sorel stood in front of Charles and replied respectfully.

"Well, that's right. I've read your reply letter. You said you summed up the experience of the serfs in farming, didn't you?"

"Yes, my lord, it's here." Sorel's face flashed with joy, and then he hurriedly handed over a stack of hardwood papers respectfully.

There is time to build a paper mill, an idea flashed in Shire's mind, and then he set his sights on cardboard.

Charles turned over the pages one by one, with a joyful expression on his face, he didn't expect that Sorel's servant did such a good job.From when to sow, what crops to sow, how many seeds to sow per acre of land, when to harvest, when to water, from the beginning to the end, it is very detailed and sorted out, even for a novice with little farming experience like him, After reading this book, it is estimated that I can go to the ground immediately.

This farming experience is well summarized, but I don’t know if the details are correct or not. I can let Loki see it when I go back. He should understand. If it doesn’t work, just ask a few old farmers. If there is no problem, the next step is to promote it.

After reading the summary of farming, there were still a few pages left on the Shire cardboard, so I couldn't help but feel interested, so I continued to read.

Looking at the content on the paper, Charles became more and more happy. This Sorel servant did a good job. If Charles remembered correctly, the last census of Mustang Town should be in the early 5000s. On the paper handed over by the mayor of Seoul, there were more than [-] people. Sorel also carefully marked those villages that were missed, and completed the population registration.This naturally gave rise to the phenomenon of anti-aircraft guns.

The final content jumped from the population to the horse farm in Mustang Town, which recorded his idea of ​​castrating war horses last time.There are a total of 130 horses, including [-] pack horses and [-] war horses that have not been castrated. After the castration method he said, [-] pack horses and [-] war horses survived.

"Is the survival rate so high?"

"Yes, my lord, it may actually be taller than this. The person in charge of castration at the beginning has no experience. Several horses died in the front, and fewer died in the back. Now we just need to see if they will come into heat. estrus.

I don't know why, but the survival rate of horses this year is much higher than last year. This winter, only more than 100 foals died, and nearly [-] foals are still alive. "

Charles's thoughts moved slightly. The baptism of luck is useful for soldiers, so it should be useful for animals as well.But he had ignored it before.

"How did the foals look this year."

"It's growing very well. It's the first time in so many years that you have lived so many horses, and it's still growing strong. If you follow your castration method, it is estimated that you will be able to harvest four hundred war horses in the next year."

It is estimated that the baptism of luck is also useful for animals, which would be great.In the future, will there be talented war horses who can cultivate fighting spirit? In that case, they will have strong impact and good endurance, which will greatly improve the cavalry.The horse problem of the heavy cavalry can also be solved.

"Well, you did a good job, what reward do you want." Charles sat on the chair and replied happily.

Sorel stood in front of Charles, suppressing the excitement in his heart, and stroked his chest with his left hand, "It is my honor to serve the Iris family."

"It's not my style not to be rewarded for meritorious service, but I promised that if you can provide five hundred war horses, I will let you be the mayor of the flower town, but it's a pity that you didn't complete it.

I will give you two options. One is that you can go to Iris Town or Cherry Blossom Collar and Calla Lily Collar. I plan to build two new towns there.The second is to wait another year. At that time, no matter how many war horses you provide, you can go to the flower town to be the mayor. "

Sorrell began to weigh carefully in his heart, because in this census, I violated the interests of many people, and I relied on the Iris infantry to suppress it. It is not good to stay in Mustang Town.Iris Town is still going to Xinjian Town.Baron Patel established a steel town in the west. Master Shire once said that if I can raise a thousand war horses, I can become a baron.

"My lord, I obey your arrangement. I am willing to dedicate the rest of my life to the Iris family. If I can really choose, I would like to go to the newly built town in the Cherry Blossom Territory." Sorel bowed slightly.

"Well, Sorel, I respect your choice. I will leave you with a task next time. After arriving at the cherry blossom collar, look for a pasture suitable for raising horses. I don't want to put the newly expanded horse farm in Mustang Town. "

"Follow your orders, my lord."

"Clean up the matter at hand, and prepare to go to the iris collar with me."

"Yes, my lord."

Ciel watched Sorel walk out of the house, and Ciel started to have a headache. There was a lack of talents in the territory.Now Iris Town, Mustang Town, Flower Town, and a new town will be established soon.

After going back, we have to set up schools, martial arts schools, and literacy schools, but universal education is definitely impossible. To die is to teach the servants in the castle, learn to read, and do some government affairs training , and then let them go to Petel, Mina, and Sorel for internships, and political officials have to be trained.Martial arts schools for veterans and military officers must also be opened.
