Being a lord in another world begins with farming

Chapter 64 Becoming an Organized Bandit
The water where the pier is built is relatively deep, so long wooden stakes need to be driven in as a fixation, but ordinary wooden stakes are not acceptable, and the exterior must be burnt, so that it will be more corrosion-resistant.

Wooden piles several meters long were driven into the bottom of the river, pierced through the silt, and covered with thick planks, making them very stable to walk on. However, there are not many fishing boats docked on both sides of the pier, only seven or eight, all of them The most common flat-bottomed fishing boat.

The original fishing boat was exchanged by Owen, and later he built it himself if he could, but the one he built was just an ordinary fishing boat, five or six meters long and one meter wide, which could carry two or three people fishing at most.

At this time, several fishermen were cleaning the catches and arranging the fishing nets at the pier. Owen went over and found that the harvest was not small. There were dozens of fish, shrimps and crabs, but he didn't recognize most of them.

In his previous life, he only knew a few kinds of fish sold in the vegetable market, and he had never seen fish from other worlds, so he was curious.

The most conspicuous fish caught is a white fish with a pointed head and tail. It is round and fleshy, with fine scales. It is delicious at first glance. There is also a snow crab that is similar to king crab. Other than that, it is similar to miscellaneous fish. I don't know 01:30 just because of the poor appearance.

Most of Owen's three daily meals, including fruit drinks, are exchanged from the system, and then processed and cooked, and he rarely eats ingredients produced in the territory.

At first, I was afraid of eating black bread, but later it was purely out of habit, and now I saw these two kinds of aquatic products, and my mouth was watering.

Owen is not afraid of poison, neither the system soldiers nor the peasants are immune to all poisons. If they are injured, they will be injured, and if they are poisoned, they will be poisoned, so they will be fine if they eat it, and he will be fine if he eats it. If something happens, isn't there still Dale's potion and the universal system, so I asked the fisherman to send some white fish and snow crabs to the castle.

On the way back, Owen has decided to increase fishing efforts. There are countless fish and shrimps in the North Boundary River. It would be too wasteful to use them, and they can also be used to supplement the protein that the residents of the territory lack.

In addition, the water army must hurry up to form, at least get two arrow boats out, so as to patrol the river surface and guard against the northern barbarians crossing the river to invade the territory.

During the dry season, the water in the gentle part of the North Boundary River was not that deep, reaching up to the chest at most. With the physique of a barbarian, it was enough to cross the river safely, so we had to guard against it.

The North Boundary River is a cold water river, because the source is from the melting glaciers, so even in summer, the river is as cold as well water, so the fish and shrimp in the river grow slowly, but this also increases the deliciousness of the fish and shrimp, regardless of the white fish It is delicious when grilled or made into soup, and the snow crab is even more sweet and delicious. Owen was full of praise for it after tasting it.

In fact, the two are more suitable for raw food. After all, there are few parasites in Lengshuihe, so you can taste the ultimate deliciousness.

It's a pity that Owen is not used to raw food, so although the two are included in the recipe, they are all cooked.

While Owen was sitting at the long table in the castle tasting the delicious food, Currence was on his way, eating and sleeping in the open.

The road was not peaceful, both wild beasts and robbers sprang up randomly like weeds in the field, which wasted a lot of his time, for example, they encountered some troubles right now.

The cuirassiers have pulled down the visors of their helmets, and as long as they lay their lances flat, they can launch a deadly charge, while the cavalry archers also put their arrows on the strings and spread them on both sides, ready to outflank.

Feeling the elite of the cavalry, the enemy did not dare to approach easily, and always stayed at a safe distance, but he was also reluctant to leave. After all, not to mention the cargo carried by Currence and his party, the equipment and horses on the cavalry alone can In exchange for a good territory near the border of the empire.

"Which of the northern nobles is marked by the hydra?" The leading horse thief was not controlled by greed, and he was more interested in the owner of the cavalry than the immediate benefits.

Although there are only twenty cavalry, they are not inferior to the elite cavalry in the frontier army of the empire in terms of equipment, horses, training, and morale. This is by no means something ordinary small nobles can have.

"In the entire Northland, only the Hydra family is marked by the Hydra, and it was also one of the most famous figures in the First Northland Exploitation Group."

The horse thief leader had two assistants beside him, a fierce scarred face and a shrewd young man, and it was the latter who answered.

"The Hydera family? It's really interesting, but with a history of only 20 years, you dare to call yourself a family." The leader of the horse thief sneered disdainfully, obviously his real identity is not as simple as a horse thief.

"Let's go, now is not the time to lose strength." The leader of the horse thieves waved his hand, and slowly retreated with dozens of horse thieves behind him.

Staring vigilantly at the horse thief who was gradually going away, Currans' palms were sweaty. Although this was not the first time he had encountered a horse thief, the other party was obviously not an ordinary horse thief. At least he had never seen three of the horse thief gang master fighting spirit. The master, this strength is enough to support the title and territory of a viscount in the Northland, there is no need to be a horse thief, so the other party must have a problem.

Fortunately, my lord sent ten cuirassiers, ten cavalry archers, and two knights to follow, which made the other party retreat in the face of difficulties. Otherwise, he couldn't predict the result.

However, the current situation did not go beyond Currence's expectations. The members of the First Northland Exploration Group were composed of scoundrels, criminals, and refugees. What's the difference, they are all a bunch of damned scum, it is inevitable to mix in a large number of criminals and people with ulterior motives, and it is normal for a group of people to pretend to be robbers for primitive accumulation, because everyone does this.

In other words, no matter which Northland pioneering group, they don't even need to change their clothes, they are all bandits.

This is another bad news that Ke Lunsi brought back before. Not only did the number of bandits in the Northland increase, but their strength and organization also improved. Many businessmen lost their money and even lost their lives.

This is not good news. Originally, the bandits wandering in the north were a group of refugees who could not survive. They did not want to be exploited like serfs, so they made a living by plundering.

Because of their strength, they could only bully the weaker serfs, and did not dare to provoke the guarded nobles and caravans.

The problem is how much the serfs have to eat, so most of the time they have to live by hunting and stealing, which is very miserable.

But when the Second North Land Exploitation Group came, everything was different.

Buying serfs worked so hard to farm and open up wasteland, how could it be quick and convenient to subdue robbers to snatch ready-made territories, even titles were ready-made.

The noble title of the Northland was bestowed by the emperor, and a batch of seals were specially created as proof, so the seals were not recognized.

Therefore, as long as you grab the Yinhe territory, you can perfectly inherit everything from the other party, it's that simple.

It can be said that the emperor did not have good intentions when he did this, and it will become the source of future chaos in the Northland.
