Chapter 159 Freedom
Ren Nian wandered lost in the ocean of crops in the eagle's nest, but Zhou Mo frowned in the castle's study.

Recently, the situation in the north and the imperial capital has become more and more weird.

The monsters in the dark forest in the north, after conquering the outer aristocratic territory directly under the empire, the undead army stopped. I don't know if they are satisfied with the occupied northern territory, or for some other unknown reason.

And the imperial capital, like crazy, moved the refugees who fled from the north to the various noble territories in the south forcibly.Originally, the emperor's throne of the Otto royal family was still stable until the dark forest disaster was resolved, but now that the Otto royal family has done this, the old nobles in the south complained, even Zhou Mo, who had no connections in the noble circle , I have heard rumors that many nobles are ready to move, and they will hold a meeting of nobles and elders to abolish the current throne of His Majesty the Emperor.

Absently browsing the report of the Yingyang Chamber of Commerce, Zhou Mo's eyes froze suddenly. In the report, his eyes froze on the words recording grain and iron ore.

Under the current situation, strategic resources such as grain and iron ore should be more and more scarce, and the price should be getting higher and higher. However, Zhou Mo found that the price of grain sold by the empire's direct jurisdiction has been very stable!Although there is little increase, it does not match the current situation.

"What is the emperor going to do? Use food to control the southern nobles? He won't be so stupid!"

Countless thoughts swirled in Zhou Mo's mind, and suddenly the armor of fate on his arms trembled slightly, and a thought flashed in Zhou Mo's mind.

"No, the emperor would never be so stupid. Now as long as the nobles have a little brain, they will realize the importance of grain and iron ore. The emperor refuses to think of such a simple fact."

"That is, the nobles in the empire's direct jurisdiction are also beginning to be unstable?"

A large number of refugees flooded into the empire's direct-administered circle, and the royal family shrank food and put pressure on the nobles in the directly-administered area, causing dissatisfaction among the nobles in the directly-administered area, and then...

A thread was threaded through, and a gleam of light flashed in Zhou Mo's black eyes!
"It seems that the three kings are not doing anything on the surface, but secretly, they are not idle at all!"

If the nobles in the empire's direct jurisdiction hadn't been instigated and instructed by the three kings, fools would sell the scarce grain and steel so cheap!

"So, whether it's the three kings or the royal family, have they all focused on the ownership of the throne?"

"The monsters in the dark forest, are these big people careless, or do they all have cards, and those monsters are not worth paying attention to?"

At this time, the door of the study room was knocked, and the twin sisters who had been waiting in the study room took a look at Zhou Mo, saw Zhou Mo nodding, and stepped forward to open the study door.

Qian Shu, dressed in a long blue dress as a maid, walked in from the door, bowed to Zhou Mo, and said:

"Your Excellency, all the civilians who have lost their land in the territory have been properly resettled. The construction of the city wall at the northern entrance has begun, and the long street behind the city wall has also begun construction."

Zhou Mo nodded and asked:

"Is the place where civilians live properly built? There must be no crude construction. Have you and Chen Yang checked it out?"

Qian Shu nodded and replied:
"Sister Chenyang and I have both seen it. Fatty's subordinates are quite honest. Although some places are not satisfactory, overall, the living environment of ordinary people is much better than that of ordinary people."

"Are there any civilians who are dissatisfied and causing trouble?"

Qian Shu showed a smile and said:

"Eagle's Nest does not have a big city, it's all small towns and villages. Now that the commoners are moving into the big city under construction, most of them are happy. Although a small number are dissatisfied with the loss of their fields, after you promised to arrange their livelihoods , and all calm down."

A smile appeared on Zhou Mo's cold and solemn face, and he leaned back on the chair with relief, looking at Qian Shu's somewhat thin face, he said with some guilt:
"That's good, that's good. Nearly a million civilians have changed from farmers to urban residents. Without your sisters, I really don't know what to do with this kind of project!"

In the past few months, Qianshu and Chenyang have almost become Zhou Mo's two most important retainers. Qianshu is in charge of all the relocation of civilians, while Chenyang is responsible for all accounts and construction matters, sharing most of Zhou Mo's work , and did a great job.

"Your Excellency, in the past few months, the vassals who have come to join us have also helped a lot, and many of them are talented. Look, do you want to reward them?"

Speaking of this, Zhou Mo thought for a moment, and said:
"Well, we really should be rewarded. In this way, you and Chen Yang have contributed a lot during these days, and the rewards start with you!"

After saying that, Zhou Mo took out two documents with leather whip patterns from the drawer in the study. These were the slave documents of Qian Shu and Chen Yang.

Putting the two documents on the desk, Zhou Mo took out two chapters of documents with field and building patterns from his arms. These are the grant documents for two small manors built not far from his manor.

Putting the two title deeds on the two slave documents respectively, Zhou Mo thought about it again, but still felt that it was not enough. From the desk drawer, he took out four more gold tickets with a denomination of [-] gold coins, and stacked two for each person. He went up and pushed the two stacks of papers to the edge of the desk.

Looking up at Qianshu, he found that Qianshu was just standing still with his eyes downcast, without a trace of expression on his face. Zhou Mo secretly said in his heart, these two girls have been through experience these days, and their happiness and anger are invisible. The ability of color, but it is also worthy of great use.

"These are what you and Chen Yang deserve. Of course, if you don't want to stay with me anymore, you can sell these and return to the kingdom of the sea!"

After saying this, Zhou Mo signaled Qian Shu to come forward and take away the document.

Qian Shu raised her beautiful eyes, glanced at the document in front of her that symbolized freedom, status, and wealth, with complicated emotions in her beautiful eyes, she took the document silently, and said:

"Don't worry, Your Excellency, Qian Shu will not leave!"

Seeing Qianshu leave the study with two documents, Zhou Mo felt a little depressed.But he was relieved, two such beautiful and excellent women, although he enjoyed the service of the two women, but the world view established by Zhou Mo in his hometown made him unable to use his status advantages to forcibly restrain the two women freedom of!
Just when Zhou Mo didn't know whether he should be sad or happy, Qian Shu left and returned, followed by Chen Yang with traces of tears in his blue eyes.

"Your Excellency, there is news from Yingyang City that Grand Duke Yingyang has arranged for all the refugees sent by the imperial capital to our Eagle's Nest!"

This news made Zhou Mo's brows stand up!
