Farming Road from Baron to Emperor

Chapter 39 Wild Horse Town
Baron Gilles is the mayor of Mustang Town. Of course, this territory is not his fiefdom. He was sent by Earl Keith Tulip to take charge of Mustang Town. As the name suggests, Mustang Town has a lot of wild horses.

Later, Earl Keith Tulip sent people to catch horses, and then transported a batch of horses to set up a horse farm to breed war horses. He could bring more than 100 war horses to Earl Keith Tulip every year.

"Master, the people sent by Baron Shire have arrived, and they are asking where this year's food and war horses have gone, and their tone is very arrogant."

Gilles thought for a moment and said, "Give him 50 carts of food and 50 horses first, and see how Baron Shire reacts."

"Master, Baron Shire has just defeated Earl Violet and captured Baron Berg Cherry Blossom alive. Can we only give you this amount of food and horses?"

Although Yema Town is mainly responsible for raising horses, counting the surrounding villages and villages, there are tens of thousands of people. This year, it has harvested nearly 200 carts, more than 200 war horses, and nearly 800 pack horses. For so little, even he felt that Master Gilles was playing with fire.

"I have already sent someone to communicate with Baron Patel of Flower Town. If Lord Keith Tulip came to recruit in person, I would offer them all without saying a word, but he, a mere baron in Shire, dared to do so. The Earl's prestige is really ridiculous, I have given him the food and horses to give him face, I hope he will not give face."

Sorel, Gilles' personal servant, laughed at this, and offered them all when the Earl came. According to his understanding, half of the usual amount would be good, and the rest was left to him secretly.But Sorel didn't show his face, and said worriedly: "But master, he defeated Earl Violet, isn't it good for us to offend him like this?"

Sorel's meaning is obvious. Earl Violet wiped out Earl Tulip's family. Now that Baron Shire has defeated Baron Violet, it's a bit dangerous for you to fool him as a baron.

Of course Gilles understood what Sorel meant, and he said angrily: "A mere baron also wants me, Baron Gilles, to bow his head and surrender. He has just finished a battle. Is he still capable of fighting me? Besides, Baron Patel of Flower Town will also be on our side.

It seemed that he was not very satisfied, and he added: "A mere baron, a barbarian in the north, except for his own bravery, other nobles have no cultivation at all, just like that monkey in gorgeous clothes, it is really ridiculous."

Sorel curled his lips, feeling rather worried. His master, Baron Gilles, paid special attention to the honor and face of the so-called nobility, just like those barons with fiefdoms, there were many castles and servants, and they were hired every year. He secretly sold all the things, bought back some flashy things, and held banquets every day to show off.

"Sorrell, you go and send someone to send those things to him. Just say that Earl Violet sent troops to plunder, and now there is only so much food left." Although Gilles said happily, he was still a little apprehensive in his heart. , but he has already sold all the food, and now he can't come back. What else can he do, hoping to get through.

"Master, I'm going right now."

"By the way, don't forget to inform Madam that a banquet will be held in the castle tonight."

"Obey, master." Sorel was also very helpless. Basically, most of the gold coins obtained by the master from selling food and war horses were turned into gorgeous clothes, which were worn on him and his wife, and held banquets every day. Show your own luxury.

At the grain warehouse, the messenger of Iris shouted: "What, there are only fifty carts, who are you fooling here?"

When the young master left, he told him how much autumn grain the Earl of Tulip collected in the past. The young master had entrusted him with at least 100 carts of grain. Now it is only half of it, which is absolutely impossible.

Sorel lowered his head and smiled apologetically, and said, "Lord Keith Tulip was defeated, and Earl Violet plundered, and the food in this wild horse town was also affected a lot. The 50 carts of food are all from our baron. , squeezed it out for Lord Baron Charles himself."

Sorel first admitted his mistake and lowered his stance, and second, he also told him that your master and our master are both barons, and that our master was able to scrape together so much food for you because of the face of Baron Shire. up.

But the messenger didn't care about that, if he dared to bring back less than half of the food, he would be the one to die, he said, "Don't think I'm a fool, the cultivated fields in Wild Horse Town are all on the west side, where would they be killed? The soldiers of Violet snatched it, and told your baron, at least 120 carts of food are needed."

Sorel didn't want to have a direct conflict with him, and said: "Master Tulip sent people to various places to collect autumn grain, and our baron hurriedly harvested a batch of grain. It was estimated that there were 100 carts of grain, all of which were guarded outside the city. Earl Violet was snatched away. Now the 50 carts of food have collected all the food in Mustang Town, and if we collect food again, even our master, Baron Gilles, will be hungry."

He can understand that this person lied to him, but he can't be fooled. The grain seized from Earl Violet totaled 120 carts. Doesn't it mean that the grain stored by the Tulip family and the cultivated fields outside Tulip Town only had 20 carts of grain in total? Can he use this excuse to go back to work, let alone false, even if it is true. .

Just at this moment, Baron Gilles' eldest son, Rickard, came over with his female companion, looked at Sorel and said, "Where have you been, hurry up and prepare food, tonight's banquet is about to begin."

The messenger looked at the two men playfully, to see if they had any excuses.

Rickard continued: "Who are you and what are you doing here? Sorel hastened to prepare food. There are quite a few guests here today, and it will be too late."

The messenger glanced at the sky, the big sun was still hanging in the sky, and it was still early before dark, how many people would be needed to prepare so early, and how much food would be needed, this is what you said there was no food.

"I was sent by Baron Shire to collect food. This is what Sorel said. Is there no food in your territory? It's really brave."

In Mustang Town, Rickard is the top noble son. He has learned all the "good morals" of his father, and he is better than blue. His father has the Earl Tulip on his head, but Rickard He was spoiled and spoiled since he was a child, and he grew up with admiration. It is only natural for him to be arrogant and domineering.

He said disdainfully: "A baron in the district, a barbarian from the north, still wants food. He really can't change his shit. It's enough to give you 50 carts. Don't hesitate to shake your head and thank us for the charity. Yours! That one is called Shire, right? He really doesn’t have any aristocratic accomplishments at all.”
