I'm an Aristocrat, but I've Started a Farming System

I thought about it for a long time last night. Now that I have come to Ashes Town, my father asked me to be 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 could realize this meant that he had really grown up. He was arranged to follow Master Lin En to Ashes Town, and he was naturally dissatisfied. He was thinking about when he could go back every moment.

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

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

However, these suggestions only existed verbally, which were so-called talks on paper. Karis only knew the general situation of Ashes Town, and he needed to ask the mayor of Ashes Town for detailed information.

Although they had not been here long, for a housekeeper, this was incompetent behavior. Linn did not pursue the matter and just asked him to call the mayor over.

Karis also realized his mistake and ran out quickly.

After a while, a man wearing linen clothes walked in and knelt on the ground. His body was short and round, and he looked like a wine barrel.

Hello, my lord, I am your servant Raff Morton.

Raph's forehead was pressed tightly to the ground, and his hands were placed in front of his head, looking very humble.

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

Lin En said, Raise your head and tell me about the situation in Ashes Town. You should know what the consequences will be if you lie.

Raph's body trembled, and he raised his head, with a flattering smile on his fat face, Sir, there are too many problems in this town. I'm afraid that speaking out will make you angry.

Just say it! Linn's tone was very cold. He knew that if he wanted to know the detailed information, he had to do this. The experience gained in the workplace was used here.

Rafe then spoke with a trembling voice.

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

Rafe knelt down and said Sir again before leaving, giving Linn an extremely respectful attitude throughout the process.

It wasn't until he left here and walked on the road that Rafe showed disdain, He's just an abandoned noble. There's nothing special about it. Anyone with some strength will not be assigned to be a lord here. No noble will be here. I can’t bear to leave even after a month. 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 a noble.

As for what the lord said about repairing the castle, he would ask a few familiar people to go there just to see how many gold coins they brought.

In the room, both Linn and Karis had solemn expressions on their faces. The situation in Ashes Town was far more serious than they imagined.

From Rafe’s words, we can understand the general problems of Ember Town. The townspeople are poor. They don’t have enough food and clothing to keep them warm. The soil is barren and the food harvest is poor. They also need to worry about the invasion of Warcraft. In a nutshell, they are 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, free people 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 become richer.

Selling the crops, livestock products, etc. produced in the territory and establishing a stable chain is also a great benefit for the lord.

But the problem is that Ember Town is located in a quite remote location, and no merchants are willing to come. Coupled with the influence of Warcraft, the town has been invaded many times by Warcraft over the years. The townspeople have died, been injured, and escaped. Most of the rest were serfs without 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 Ash Town now, and both the economy and crops are in a mess, not to mention the problem of Warcraft.

Karis frowned. Before he came, he briefly understood the situation in Ashes Town, but now he understood how serious it was. Let alone them, I was afraid that even the outstanding children of the Earl would not be able to come. Address these issues.

After thinking for a moment, Karis said: Master, should we tell the earl and ask him to send a few knights to protect your safety?

Does he really know how to send them? How will we raise them? Lin En asked.

The family has no money, and even the daily life of the knights can barely be maintained. Even if they are sent here, the cost of hiring the knights will definitely need to be paid by Lin En. He only has a few gold coins in his hand, and his own survival is a problem.

Karis was a little unsure, You are his son after all. Sir, he shouldn't be able to do that.

His voice became lower and lower. The Earl must have known the situation in Ashes Town, but he still designated this place as the young master's territory. When he came here, he only sent him and a few servants, including a trainee knight and trainee warrior. No, could it be said that he really doesn't want to see the young master that much?

Speaking of which, Master Lin En has been frail and sick since he was a child and cannot become a knight at all. In other words, he does not have any potential. Maybe he was assigned to Ash Town because he wanted him to fend for himself.

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

Lin En did not take care of the old housekeeper, thinking in his mind that as a modern man, he has never managed a territory, but it does not mean that he does not understand anything. He knows very well what should be done at the moment.

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

lack of food!

Whether it is a 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 reasons from Rafe.

Let's go to the farmland now to see the specific situation. After Lin En finished speaking, he walked out directly. The issue related to food was an urgent matter. If it cannot be solved, there is no way to develop the territory.

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

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

After Rafe, who was at home, heard his subordinates telling the lord to go to the planting area, his eyes changed, he cursed in his heart for being nosy, and hurriedly chased after him.
