I, a fallen nobleman, started the farming system

Chapter 2 The situation is more serious than imagined

"I thought about it for a long time last night. Since I came to Ashes Town, my father made me the lord here. I can't let him down. How do you think I should manage the territory?"

Karis was a little surprised. The fact that the young master realized this meant that he had really grown up. He was arranged to follow Master Lynn to Ashes Town. He was naturally dissatisfied in his heart, thinking about when he would be able to go back.

But he also knew that the current situation did not allow him to go back, at least he needed to stay here for a short time, so he calmed himself down, thought it over carefully, and gave his own answer.

Lin En listened carefully, and it was nothing more than managing the territory, managing serfs, growing food, etc., through a series of methods to make the territory rich.

However, these suggestions are only verbal, which is the so-called empty talk. Carliss only knows the general situation of Ashes Town, and he needs to ask the mayor of Ashes Town for details.

Although it didn't take long for them to come here, for a housekeeper, this was incompetent behavior. Lin En didn't pursue it, but asked him to call the mayor over.

Karis also realized his mistake and ran out quickly.

After a while, a man wearing linen clothes came in and knelt on the ground. His figure was short and round, looking like a wine barrel.

"My lord, hello, I am your servant Ralph Morton."

Raff's forehead was pressed tightly to the ground, and he put his hands behind his head in front of his head, showing a very humble look.

Karis frowned slightly, as if something made him feel uncomfortable.

Lynn said, "Raise your head and tell me about the situation in Ashes Town. You should know what will happen to you if you lie."

Raff's body trembled, he raised his head, with a flattering smile on his fat face, "My lord, there are too many problems in the town, I'm afraid that speaking out will make you angry."

"Just say it!" Lynn's tone was very indifferent. He knew that if he wanted to know the detailed information, he had to do so, and the experience gained in the workplace was used here.

Only then did Raff speak in a trembling voice.

"Let's go!" Karis said in a bad tone.

After Raff knelt down and said "My lord", he left, giving Lynn an extremely respectful attitude throughout the whole process.

It wasn't until he left here and walked on the road that Raf showed disdain, "It's just an abandoned nobleman, what's so great about it, but anyone with some strength will not be assigned to be a lord here, any nobleman here If you can’t stay for a month, you can’t bear to leave, after all, I am the lord here.”

He didn't dare to say these words directly. After all, he was just a free citizen, and his status was very different from that of an aristocrat.

As for the restoration of the castle that the lord said, he would find a few familiar people to see how many gold coins they brought.

Inside the house, both Lynn and Carliss had solemn expressions on their faces. The situation in Ashes Town was far more serious than they had imagined.

From Raff's words, we can know the general problems of Ashes Town. The townspeople are poor, they don't have enough food and clothing, the soil is barren, the food harvest is poor, and they need to worry about the invasion of monsters. A simple summary is economy, food, and security.

If a territory wants to develop, it has a great relationship with its residents. No matter which noble territory it is, freemen and serfs are indispensable. If they can live and work in peace and contentment, and develop production, they will pay more taxes , the lord will naturally be richer.

It is also a great thing for the lord to sell the crops and livestock products produced in the territory and establish a stable chain.

But the problem is that the location of Ashes Town is quite remote, and no merchants are willing to come here. Coupled with the influence of monsters, the town has been invaded many times by monsters over the years. Most of the rest were serfs without a free status. If people like them escaped, no lord would be willing to take them in. Instead, they would be executed directly.

There are not many people in Ashes Town now, and both the economy and the crops are in a mess, let alone the problem of Warcraft.

Karis frowned. Before he came, he had a brief understanding of the situation in Ashes Town, but now he understands how serious it is. Let alone them, I'm afraid it would not be good for the Earl's outstanding children to come. deal with these issues.

After thinking for a moment, Karis said, "Master, should we tell the Earl to send some knights to protect your safety?"

"Will he really know how to send it? How can we raise it?" Lynn asked back.

The family ran out of money, and even the daily life of the knights was barely maintained. Even if they were sent over, Lin En would definitely have to pay for the hired knights. He only had a few gold coins in his hand, and it would be a problem for him to survive.

Karis lacked confidence, "After all, you are his son. My lord, he shouldn't."

His voice became lower and lower. The Earl must know the situation in Ashes Town, but he still designated it as the territory of the young master, and when he came here, he only sent him and a few servants, even a trainee knight and trainee warrior. No, could it be that he really doesn't want to see the young master so much.

Speaking of which, Master Lynn has been weak and sick since he was a child, and he couldn't become a knight at all, that is to say, he didn't have any potential. It is possible that he was assigned to Ash Town because he wanted him to fend for himself.

For a moment, he also felt worried about his future, and felt that he would never be able to leave.

Lin En didn't take care of the old housekeeper, thinking in his heart, as a modern person, he has never managed a territory, but it doesn't mean he doesn't know anything, he knows very well what he should do now.

If you want to get rich, build roads first, and if you don’t have the conditions to build roads, then the next best thing.

lack of food!

Whether it's the mission or the stability of the territory, the issue of food must be resolved.

As for the planting problems encountered by the serfs during the mission, he also learned the reason from Raf.

"Let's go to the farmland now to see the specific situation." After Lin En finished speaking, he walked out directly. The issue of food is an imminent matter. If it cannot be resolved, there is no need to talk about developing the territory.

Karis immediately asked the servants to prepare the carriage, but there was worry in his eyes, could it really be resolved?

A carriage was walking on the muddy road, heading northwest of Ashes Town.

Raf, who was at home, heard his subordinates tell the lord to go to the plantation area, his eyes changed, and he cursed for meddling in his heart, and hurriedly chased after him.
