Durin's Diary

Chapter 393 Endless Work
"Dühring left Vienna. What did he do?"

When he heard the news, Jon Walter felt that one of his ears or his brain must be broken.

Robbie Alkin nodded helplessly at the surprise and confusion on his young king's face. The old duke, who had been free because his granddaughter followed Durin around, had finally returned to Copenhagen to report on his work. Who would have thought that his grandson-in-law first obtained the recognition of several major churches and had the power to invade the Central and Southern Union, and then in less than half a month, he destroyed the entire Central and Southern Union.

The Eastern Elf Territory, the Great Woodland, and even the Great Wasteland all tacitly approved his invasion of the Central and Southern Alliance. They provided troops and manpower, and the most important thing was that Durin alone took charge of all the equipment of these soldiers - the rifles in their hands were all the latest models.

The young generation and half-blood dragons from Silver Dragon Mountain, Black Dragon Peak, and other places were all in his team. The young man Du Lin taught the young dragons how to fight in groups. The oil barrels they dropped and the ignited their breath cut off the possibility of retreat of the Central and South coalition forces and created an opportunity for encirclement and annihilation.

And the young man Du Lin also seized this opportunity.

Sixty thousand against one hundred thousand.

Their own casualties did not exceed one thousand, while seventy thousand of the 110,000 enemies died, and the rest all surrendered.

In Robbie's opinion, this was a very terrifying number. A child who had never served in the army and fought in a war, just lying on the couch, completed the issuance of military strategies, and each command was just right.

What's even more terrifying is that in the peak battle between Durin and Caesars Peterson-Adams who used the injection of the old days, this legendary warlock was able to use his sword to feed moves to a sword master - it was simply earth-shattering.

And there are those cannons mounted on tracked vehicles.

Yes, these short-barreled cannons are large in size and have a destructive power that surpasses the previous old-style cannons. Generally, high-level mages do not have such direct killing capabilities.

What's more, an ordinary high-level wizard can cast spells of seventh level and above several times a day.

Unfortunately, the Eastern Elf Leader stated that the Twin Mothers had noticed this new type of artillery and ordered that it should not be sold to other countries in order to avoid an arms race and harm to the people.

What Robbie couldn't understand the most was that Durin, a child, could obviously become king, but he proclaimed himself Protector of the Realm, and then invited his brother into his court, asking him to manage the new Austrian-Swiss Union.

But Robbie couldn't figure it out, but when he thought about the strength of his grandson-in-law, he could only regard Du Lin's choice as a young man's little quirk.

The sixteen-year-old legendary Candle Dragon Warlock, Sequence Two of the Hidden Ones, was so powerful that everything he did was defended by others. Moreover, his elder brother Poole was widely praised in the Northernist camp. As the eldest son of Roy Corleone, Poole was humble and elegant. Whether in Copenhagen a few years ago or in Farol in the past two years, he had never complained about the environment.

On the contrary, in Copenhagen, his classmates recognized his academic knowledge; in Farol, his comrades recognized his work ethic.

Everyone is praising him.

Such an outstanding young man, like his father and his brothers, opposed this country... Perhaps the kingdom and serfdom were really behind the times, so there were so many people opposing it.

Robbie thought so.

"Duke Robbie, I heard that you have liberated all the serfs in your territory, right?" Jones's doubts made Robbie retract his scattered thoughts, and he nodded.

"Yes, Your Majesty. My staff has calculated that serfs do not increase our income. On the contrary, because of their special nature, nothing they own belongs to them, so they instinctively tend to be dishonest and cunning."

Robbie did ask his staff to calculate the work enthusiasm between the serfs in his territory and the free farmers in Farol, and he also secretly went to Farol to meet with the grassroots officials of the Northernists and see their large estates.

Each farmer on the farm is free and has their own workload, but they only need to pay the most basic grain tax. The remaining grain and the surplus from their own fields will belong to the farmer. The Northerners will spend money to buy these surpluses, and of course the farmers can keep them for themselves. Therefore, their work enthusiasm is very high.

They are so skilled that they can work in the fields on their own initiative without even being whipped or beaten with leather boots.

If a farmer falls ill, the church will provide free treatment - because compared to serfdom, the Twin Mothers also approve of this way of working.

After much deliberation, Robbie finally took the initiative to end serfdom. He gave all the serfs in his territory the status of freemen and used most of his land to build farms, which had a good effect.

Although the north cannot produce as good a harvest as the south, everyone can see the harvest this year - the farmers have put in a lot of effort, and the church has also changed its previous laziness and comes to check the growth of wheat every few days, and also takes the initiative to give farmers physical examinations.

In the past, Robbie even had to pay them to do physical examinations for the serfs, but now they don't ask for money. They even greet Robbie proactively every time they come, give him a lot of seeds, and even teach Robbie how to make compost on the farm under his name to increase subsequent planting yields.

With freedom, seeds and fertilizer, Robbie hasn't seen a runaway slave for half a year.

There were even cases where serfs who had escaped from other places entered the farm and sneaked through - compared to going east into the Elf Territory, it took fewer roads to get to Duke Robbie's territory and it was safer.

"If that's a good idea... maybe we should also make some changes and liberate the serfs, just like what happened in Farol..." "Your Majesty, are you also aware of the good harvests that the Farol Union has had in the past two years?"

"Yes, the absence of serfs and the good weather seem almost magical. But you and I both understand that everything in this world is changed by humans. No matter how benevolent the gods are, they won't interfere with human choices. So, I've had people investigate and confirmed that the work enthusiasm of freemen is far higher than that of serfs." Jon produced a report and handed it to Lord Robbie. "We did investigate, too. I just didn't expect you to be moving even faster and more radically than we were."

"I only have this one granddaughter, she only has this one lover, and this child is the second son of Roy Corleone, whom I favor the most. Although he is a bit unreliable, it's like he completed the invasion this time, but then acted like a hands-off Protector of the Country, dragging his brother to do the job of Prime Minister."

"But no one can say anything. He's eliminated human trafficking gangs for neighboring countries and swept the Sino-South African Union into the trash. I heard he was even clearing out Pirate Bay on the southern coast the past couple of days. You're a very good choice for a grandson-in-law like him."

"I was lucky. I was young at that time and recognized Xu Yi as my little brother." Duke Robbie was very happy when he mentioned this.

What is successful investment?

This is.

　The recent update is not good, my problem.

　　In summer, appetite is poor.

　　I've been using stomach medicine for half a month, and that's all.

　　When I was young, I could eat three meat pies made by my mother in one sitting.

　　Nowadays, I can eat a bread bought on the roadside.
　　My mother is old, and I am old too.

　　Life is a cycle, and everyone will eventually have their own dawn and destruction.

　　Everyone must take care of their health.
