My farm does not raise idle dragons

Chapter 12 Four Vegetables and One Soup in Another World

Village head Lu Li failed to accompany Lu Xi to walk the entire village, and just at the beginning of the walk, some villagers suddenly came over and asked him to deal with some things that just happened in the village.

As the head of a village with thousands of people, and he is so trusted by the villagers, it is really unlikely that head Lu Li would be free.

Of course, Lu Xi would not force Village Chief Lu Li to guide her. Anyway, any person in Kuwa Village can do the leading job, and Village Chief Lu Li is not irreplaceable.

The head of Luli village did not hesitate, and directly called his son Ayina over. Compared with other villagers in Kuwa Village who were dull and ignorant, Ayina, who grew up with him since childhood, has a lot of skills in dealing with people and the world. Very exciting, and more reassuring.

Although, Ayina's character may be a little bit out of character, and she talks a little bit...well, a little bit.

In a certain way, Lu Xi thinks that Ayina is a more suitable tour guide than Village Chief Luli.

Because Ayina really likes to talk, he doesn't need much response from Lu Xi, he can talk a lot by himself, and he can say everything Lu Xi wants to hear and what he doesn't want to hear.

It completely saved Lu Xi's effort of probing and probing.

"Hello, Miss Lucy, we met again, but it seems that it hasn't been long, hahaha. Seriously, Miss Lucy, you look much better in this dress than Sister Aina, she is always so fierce, She's not gentle at all, and I don't know who would dare to marry her back home."

After Village Chief Lu Li left, Ayina seemed to let go of her instincts, opening her mouth but never closing it.

Lu Xi: "Hello..."

"Miss Lucy, do you want to take a stroll around our village? Then you should come to me. I am the person who is most familiar with this village. I know exactly where there are stones. Miss Lucy, do you have any?" Do you want to see a place? I like Uncle Amy’s house the most. There are many things made of wood in his house, which are very interesting! There is also Old Ketter’s tavern, where there is a Macdon who likes to tell stories. The stories are very interesting!" Ayina danced and danced, trying to express the whole scene with movements.

Lu Xi: "...just take a look."

"Hey, Miss Lucy, the book you are holding in your hand looks familiar. Miss Lucy, look at this, the cover is the trace left by me. When I was a child, my father used this book to teach me how to read. Now I I can still memorize the stories in it, but now it has been handed over to my sister, she likes this book very much, and I don’t know if she will cry if she can’t read this book today.” Ayina Wei Lu Xi went around in circles, with a bright and sunny smile that made people feel disgusted.

Lu Xi: "Ah? Sorry..."

"It's okay, Miss Lucy, my younger sister is only over a year old now, and she can't read yet. It's just that my father likes to use this book to lull her to sleep, but I think my younger sister actually prefers Mirogo, which is her The teeth haven't grown yet, my father won't let us feed her all the time, Miss Lucy, do you have younger siblings? I think my sister is really noisy, but she is very cute, so I can bear with it, I hope she grows up soon Great, but don’t be as fierce as Sister Aina when you grow up.” Ayina seemed like a thousand ducks quacking around Luxi.

Lu Xi: "No..."

Oops, I seem to have seen the trumpet become a ghost.

No kidding, Lu Xi felt like a fanboy now, all he could say was "Yeah, this is", and he was short of saying "Fuck you" before he could leave the scene and take a bow.

Under Ayina's "introduction", Lu Xi recorded the route of most of the village in a daze, and finally ended this "walking" before nightfall.

Standing in Auna Asuna's yard, looking at Ayina's brisk figure when she left, Lu Xi closed her eyes, she never felt so tired when she was chased by a lion.

Fortunately, she did learn a lot from Ayina's mouth.

Kuwa Village was only a small village of 200 people at the beginning, and it was far poorer than it is now. In other words, the current life is very happy for the villagers of Kuwa Village.

Due to some incidents, Village Chief Lu Li did not continue to serve as a trainee knight for a certain nobleman, but returned to Kuva Village with the status of a low-level elemental warrior and took up the post of village chief.

Ayina didn't say what it was, probably he didn't know, otherwise his mouth couldn't help but say it.

After having the low-level elemental warrior Chief Luli, the security of Kuva Village has greatly increased. Although a dozen adult men can deal with a low-level monster, most of the time, the low-level monsters will not wait for everyone to gather before attacking. .

Every time a low-level monster appears, at least a few people will be killed or injured in the village, but Village Chief Lu Li is different. As a low-level elemental warrior, he can sense the breath of low-level monsters. Able to organize villagers to respond.

After coming and going, other small villages nearby heard about it, and they all moved here and merged into Kuwa Village. After all, everyone wants to live in a safe place.

The head of Luli Village never refused to come, and gradually integrated more than a dozen small villages around him, turning Kuwa Village into the current scale.

Of course, what Village Chief Lu Li has done is far more than that. He used his experience as a trainee knight to help the villagers earn more property.

For example, teach the villagers to grow a crop that the nobles like to eat. Although the price will be lowered by more than half after planting it and selling it to the town of Viguri, even that small part of the reward is enough for the villagers to live and wear warmly. life instead of starving.

Lu Xi looked puzzled, judging from the historical knowledge she had learned on Earth, the relationship between nobles and commoners should not be free enough for commoners to sell their own crops at will.

Rather, the common people had to rely on the nobles to live, because the land they planted belonged to the nobles in name, they were only farming the land for the nobles, and then handed over seven or eight tenths of the grain every year, and the rest belonged to the commoners themselves.

The remaining part of the food is often not enough for the common people to feed their families. Most of them eat one meal and starve twice. Otherwise, they will survive at all. When there is no food at all, the only thing left is to sell themselves to the nobles and become slaves. a way out.

Ayina noticed the change in Lu Xi's expression almost immediately, and turned to explain to Lu Xi, but his point of view was too trivial and one-sided, and Lu Xi had to re-analyze with his own understanding to understand what he said those contents.

In this world, due to the existence of monsters, the way of dealing with civilians is completely different from that on Earth.

The land marked out by the aristocrat circle on the earth is safe, and the common people will stay in one place to live stably, and pass it on from generation to generation, and will not leave unless there is a major change. Therefore, the nobles can continue to squeeze the common people.

In the different world, except for those cities with large walls, defensive barriers, and elemental warriors guarding them, there is no safe place, and even those cities cannot guarantee absolute safety.

Even if the land is divided into the ownership of a nobleman, the civilians living here may all be relocated at any time due to a wave of monsters, and the farmland that has been planted can only be abandoned.

It is impossible for the nobles to send people to chase after these civilians just to collect a few catties of grain in their hands.

So in the different world, the nobles adopted another method - collecting "protection fees". They no longer delineated the land, but clarified the ownership of the town.

The tide of monsters is usually caused by mid-level monsters, the highest threat will not exceed the mid-level monsters, and any regular town can resist it.

Moreover, the tide of monsters can be sensed several days in advance, and it is entirely possible to notify the villages around the town in advance, so that civilians can take refuge in the town temporarily, and return to their villages when the tide of monsters recedes.

There is no need to chase these civilians, just let each town record the surrounding villages, and let the villages take the initiative to send "taxes" every year, and there is no need to force them to pay, even if they don't pay, there is no problem.

Because the tax is based on the number of people, regardless of gender, only the number of people is recorded. Suppose there are 100 villagers in Kuwa Village, but only [-] people pay taxes. Then when the monster tide comes, only [-] villagers can enter the town. inside.

So the remaining [-] villagers can only wait to die?Of course not, as long as they can temporarily "pay" double the tax, they can also enter the cities and towns for refuge.

The nobles didn't care about the life and death of these civilians. Instead, they expected that none of those villages would pay taxes and become "Nomura", but when the tide of monsters came, they would hand over all their assets in exchange for a chance to survive.

After hearing this, Lu Xi didn't know how to evaluate them. Instead of saying that these nobles were "nobles", it was better to say that they were more like "capitalists". They seemed to have a bit of humanity, but they were only for more thorough exploitation.

Most civilians only grow some crops that cannot be destroyed by monsters. One is that they don't know how to grow other crops, and the other is that they don't have channels to buy seeds.

The status of the trainee knight of Village Chief Luli solves these two problems, so the villagers of Kuva Village can grow more crops to improve their lives.

Village head Lu Li even trained two trainee elemental fighters and sent them to the town of Viguri to become a member of the patrol team, completely changing their fate.

When Lu Xi heard this, he understood why the villagers of Kuwa Village respected Village Chief Luli so much. His behavior can be called a "saint". He changed the lives of thousands of people single-handedly, and he is still working hard .

At first, Lu Xi didn't realize that the villagers she saw were "different".

She comes from the earth, where she has been out of poverty for a long time. The poorest places she has seen are just rural bungalows and open-air toilets.

But the different world is different. People here are not only exploited by nobles, but also live in danger all the time.

But along the way, none of the villagers in Kuwa Village that Lu Xi met had a pale and emaciated face, and the houses they lived in were at worst able to completely shelter from the wind and rain.

Ayina said that his father is preparing the money to build a town. If Kuva Village can be turned into Kuva Town, they will not need to go to the town of Viguri dozens of kilometers away to take refuge when encountering a wave of monsters. , they can also take in more people from villages who cannot pay taxes, and do not collect taxes.

Lu Xi believes that the idea of ​​Village Chief Lu Li is serious, but this beautiful vision is so far away.

"Miss Lucy, you are back, dinner is ready." Aunt Asuna breathed a sigh of relief, and went forward to meet Lu Xi. At this time, the sky was completely dark, and she could only rely on the moonlight for illumination.

Lu Xi glanced at the fire-lit kitchen. The pot inside was still burning. I'm afraid it wasn't just cooked, but the meal had been heated several times. It's just that Lu Xi wanted to inquire about the news and didn't plan to come back so early, ah Aunt Su Na didn't dare to take the initiative to call Lu Xi back, so she could only cook the rice again and again.

Lu Xi thought that she would smuggle Xiao Yuan in later, and she must not let Xiao Yuan go hungry, so she asked Aunt Asuna to help her take the food to her room, so that no one would know who ate it. People are clear.

She still held the two fairy tale books and story books given by Village Chief Lu Li in her hand, and she was a little worried that the books would not be returned if they were dirty, so she didn't offer to help.

Of course, it's impossible for Aunt Asuna to let Lu Xi do something by herself, she can't wait to confess to Lu Xi.

"I don't have any appetite right now, let's put it on the table first, and I'll take the bowl over after I finish eating."

Looking at the four dishes and one soup on the table under the dim light of the oil lamp, Lu Xi felt that he was somewhat embarrassing for Aunt Asuna. I am afraid that they themselves did not eat so well.

The four dishes are a plate of roasted birds, which originated from the few that Lu Xi brought himself. It may be that he has not handled this kind of prey much. Aunt Asuna chose the simplest fire roast, but it should be painted For some seasonings, the color of roasting is completely different from Lu Xi's roasting.

A plate of black bread. If you want to find a piece of white bread in a commoner village, it is better to think about finding a piece of gold. The latter is obviously more practical, but the black bread is actually not very black, and there are very few impurities. It is carefully selected food.

A plate of stewed meat with wild vegetables. Lu Xi didn't know the meat and vegetables. Anyway, it wasn't the ones she ate along the way. It's good stuff.

The soup should be beet soup. A few bright red fruits were put in the milky white soup, and a sweet smell spread through the air.

Xiaoyuan should like this taste, Lu Xi thought so, and found an excuse to distract Aunt Asuna.

Aunt Asuna didn't doubt it, she just had a flattering smile on her face, "How can I bother Miss Lucy to deliver it in person, when you finish eating, just shout, and I'll come and pick it up."

Lu Xi didn't insist anymore, anyway, she would send it back after eating, and it was impossible for Aunt Asuna to come out and stop her suddenly.

It was still early, and at this time most of the villagers in Kuwa Village had just rested and hadn't completely fallen asleep. Lu Xi felt that it would be safer to wait a while before going to meet Xiao Yuan.

Just having nothing to do, Lu Xi opened the two books sent by Village Chief Lu Li by the light of the oil lamp on the table, to see if he could get any information.
