Transcendent Noble

Clement and Severin took a half-day job of harvesting pennisetum, working on a terrace far away from George Village.

It rained last night, the air was cool, and the ground was soft. The village deacon leading the team, after passing wheat fields, potato fields and fallow fields, I saw hilly terraces in the distance.

The terraced fields circle around, turning the hills into a rhythmic world. The broad leaves of Pennisetum undulate with the wind, like a jade green pleated skirt worn on a curvy beauty. The beauty lies on the ground, solemn but charming, beautiful and delicious, poetic and picturesque, and dazzlingly beautiful.

This is the beauty of wisdom and power for mankind to transform nature and build homes.

Everyone stopped and watched for a while, leading the hump, along the winding path, up to the terraces having ups and downs.

"Everyone knows the rules. I say again, don’t cut off the entire clump of Pennisetum, it’s bare and unsightly! We only take the mature stems and leave the green ones, they will grow again. Get up. Every time you harvest 10 bundles of Pennisetum, exchange for a copper sol, or 1 bundle of Pennisetum. Work more and get more money. Work at noon, no meals!" The village deacon emphasized again: "No lunch!"

"che, if you don't have food, you don't have food. I have steamed geese for lunch..." Tornance grumbled, picked up a scythe, and quickly harvested jade green pennisetum, acting like an old farmer.

Pennisetum is a perennial plant with a lifespan of more than 4 years. It has a tall plant, a well-developed root system, can penetrate deep into the soil, has a strong drought tolerance, a cluster of stems, and a strong regeneration ability, just like purple cane. It can continue to grow as long as the rhizome is left.

Pennisetum is soft, juicy, nutritious, and grows quickly. It can be harvested 8 times a year and has an annual yield of up to 30,000 pounds. It is an important green feed for raising livestock and poultry. It can also be made into hay or silage. . Its stems and leaves can be used to raise fish after being finely chopped.

However, Pennisetum also has high requirements for land fertility, and large-scale planting often results in barren arable land. Therefore, farmers in other territories generally do not plant pennisetum specifically, they only harvest wild pennisetum.

The whole Pennisetum in the terraced fields is more than 3 meters high, the leaves are as wide as the palms, and the joints are thick and thick with pigeon eggs, and it grows very luxuriantly.

This benefited from the manure collection system formed by the well-developed aquaculture industry and public health in Randal.

Flatlake Town has a population of more than 80,000, raising nearly 200,000 pigs, sheep, cattle, and horses. The Viscount may be affected by the bloodline of the elves. He has strict requirements on environmental hygiene. It is forbidden for humans and animals to urinate and defecate, fine for the lighter, and flogging for the severer.

This can hardly break the police station. The security soldiers can't control more than 80,000 migrants and hired workers, let alone disobedient beasts? Therefore, the sheriff Munk asked Mrs. Lilia to issue another decree: The excrement belongs to the collector.

After the decree was issued, a gray force controlled by the public security completely monopolized the fertilizer collection work of Randal and Feniksi. They are used to hanging a gray towel around their necks to cover their mouth and nose, so they are called gray towels.

Driven by interests, Grey Towel's work enthusiasm is unprecedentedly high. They use fines and fists to help disobedient refugees develop the habit of going to the toilet, use Copper Coin to buy manure from pigs and herders, hire half-old children to pick up bird droppings, set up simple toilets in the fields, buy deacons, intimidate employees, and let These simple toilets work. They poured the collected manure into a manure storage tank, added grass, straw, and silt to make fertilizer, and then sold it to the heads of the villages at double the price.

There is a joke among employees: Randal has no bears because they can’t go to the toilet and can’t pay fines.

Of course, gray towels cannot deal with beasts, but they are indeed active in every village, every road, every field, pasture, and terrace in Centaur Hills.

According to church statistics, on average 70 people in Centaur Hills have a gray towel. Although they are unpopular, the benefits they can bring are obvious.

To use Tornance's words: Randal is a clean one that makes people like it at first sight, and a fertile land makes people reluctant to leave.

Fertilizer allows Pennisetum in terraced fields to grow. Pennisetum can raise more livestock, create more wealth and job opportunities, attract more people, and produce more fertilizer. , Gradually form a virtuous circle.

And this is just part of the new farming system!

The new farming and animal husbandry will definitely be welcomed by the lord, but we should not rush to promote the development of the Randal collar. Sylvia just made the best choice for Centaur Hills, and there are still some problems that haven't been revealed... Clement thought.

By noon, Clement and Tornance harvested 30 bundles of Pennisetum easily, and Severin was so tired that they brow beaded with sweat only harvested 25 bundles.

"The Robert's boy, these five bundles of Pennisetum can't be counted." Deacon kicked the bundled Pennisetum, and said: "Or I will put it on your account. , Or you take a half bundle back to feed the geese."

"I just take it home to feed the geese." Severin wiped the sweat from his face with a towel, said with a smile.

"That's OK. You get half the bundle yourself." Deacon nodded, continue to deliver Pennisetum to other people, and when the reward for the last person is finished, he loudly shouted: "Tie Pennisetum all the way. Go to the hump, take your own pennisetum, we're going back!"

The hired workers picked up the Copper Coin, carried their own pennisetum, and walked towards the village talking and laughing. Scarecrows with funny faces in the wheat field watched them walk away silently.

At the entrance of the village, the team disbanded by themselves. Severin brought the Pope and Paladin to the door of his home. A smooth black dog rushed out, wagging its tail at the Young Lord for a while, and barking at strangers.

"Go, go, go." Severin kicked the black dog away, unloaded a half bundle of jade green pennisetum, and shouted, "Daddy, mom, and Katie Aunt, the guests have already arrived. "

A youngster came out first. He is about 20 years old, with a strong body, a straight back, brown hair only inches, no sideburns and beard, bright eyes, and the whole person looks clean and tidy, full of heroic spirit.

"Cybbins big brother, you are back!" Severin hugged the youngster in surprise.

"Severin, you have grown taller." The eldest son of Robert's family smiled on the shoulders of the patted younger brother, and bowed slightly to the two guests: "Sebbins has seen the two gentlemen."

Randal leads the most prominent figures to be Lord Viscount, Mrs. Feniksi and Father Miller. As Father Miller’s assistant, Pastor David has the same status as Lord Nelson, and David often contacts Hiring soldiers is more likely to be noticed.

Cybbins is hiring Legion to serve. He is young but well-informed. Pastor David personally arranged for two relatives to live in George Village. Sabins had heard about it for a long time, and he even asked someone to pass the news to Aunt Marcy. A low-born family like the Robert's family especially needs to expand their contacts. It would be great if they could get in touch with Father David's relatives.

Sebins came home and heard that Wright and Touran were coming as guests. He was overjoyed and naturally he did not dare to be rude.

At this time, Robert and other family members also came out, "Welcome, welcome, I’m Robert...this is my eldest son, Cybbins, who has served in Legion for more than two years. Now I’m a corporal leader...this is my third son, Severin, oh you know...I also have a second son helping out in the cafeteria in Flatlake Town...this is my wife, Katie, and the three little fellows are all My youngest son..." Robert introduced incoherently.

Father David is a great character. How can his relatives be on the same level as the Chief George in the future, hehe, only a few people in George Village know about this...Labo thought of it with a guilty conscience and triumphantly.

"I'm Wright, and his name is Touran." The Pope was introduced graciously.

"Where are Mother Marcy and Yasha?" Severin looked around and asked father.

Without waiting for Robert to answer, the hostess and her biological daughter walked out of the kitchen. Marcy saw Tornance, who was bald and eyebrowless, and her heart beat fiercely, as if the man in front of her was a fierce bear, and her footsteps became hesitant. Immediately after this feeling of horror disappeared in an instant, she relaxed and couldn't help but wonder.

Marcy lightly shook the head, and greeted enthusiastically. "Two guests, are you hungry? Lunch is ready, please come in."

Clement and Tornance walked to the sink and washed their hands with pancreatic soap. Tornance did not move his lips, and made a very faint voice in his throat: "That is a violent woman. It is a pity that she didn't eat well when she was a child and lacked training. She was only slightly better than the elite soldiers, so it was a waste."

Wild intuition is the only measure of the degree of violence. Some Paladins are stronger than violent warriors, but they are not violent humans. So Tornance felt sorry for Nelson the first time he saw him, but didn't feel anything for Renault. In fact, the alchemy militia and Paladin can only be included in the category of the secret warrior.

According to the statistics of the church, the ratio of human beings is 7,000:1. Randal has more than 40,000 people. It is not surprising that there is a violent woman.

Clement nodded, and Tornance walked into the living room of Robert's house.

The food on the table is very rich, two sliced ​​steamed fat geese, a pot of braised trotters, two one-meter long char-grilled salmon, round melon stewed pork bones, coarse sugar bread, various vegetables , A large plate of fruit, and a small barrel of purple cane wine.

Tornance unceremoniously picked up a juicy pig's feet, chewed his mouth full of oil, and praised: "It's delicious!"

The hosts smiled and buried their heads. Eat it up. After a few glasses of wine, the atmosphere became harmonious and casual, only Axia pouted, with a sullen appearance.

"What's wrong with Yaxia's younger sister?" Severin asked with a blushing face, belching his wine.

"Good-for-nothing Shi Lin showed her hospitality and was caught upright by me." Marcy said hate iron for not becoming steel.

"Shi Lin is promising! He and his big brother can save 8 silver sols every month!" said Yaxia Panting with Rage, the girl looks pretty handsome, she doesn't look at all Like her mother.

"It is not a good thing to save a lot of money. Both of them and brother may leave Randal at any time. My dear daughter, your mother and I don't want you to go and wander around again." Robert persuaded you As for the adopted daughter, he said disdainfully: "Besides, can they have as much money as ours?"

"Axia, you should find a family that is right with us. Many of my colleagues are unmarried. The handsome boy, I will introduce you to them when the Flatlake Town Carnival." Sabins took a sip of purple cane wine, said with a faint smile. In Randal, it has become a common practice for High Level people to marry each other. He very much hopes that his handsome younger sister can be married into a vassal family.

"People who live in the North District can't get ahead!" Severin also despised Shi Lin who was toad lusting after a swan's flesh. "The quota for the next batch of houses has been set. Let Legion be hired. No more recruiting. Big brother, am I right?"

Sebens nodded said: "It is said that this time the house is the last batch to be built, and I want to be a deacon or Soldiers, must go to school first. Shi Brother Lin will not have a chance to get ahead. If they get married and have children in Randal, the next generation may have a chance."

"Shi Lin can get ahead!" Ya Xia was unconvinced. Said: "He and his big brother have already discussed, they are going to join the swamp scout!"

"Then it won't work! I don't want you to be a widow lightly when you are young." Marcy said with a sneer.

Clement suddenly asked: "Can you tell us what you think about Randal's recruitment of stewards and soldiers?"

"I and Nelson are stupid... Hehe, the lord is very familiar. The two boys in his family, Jory and Mott, have peeed on me. Father David has already discussed with the lord, let us hang out in George Village for a while, and then give us Arrangement of positions. As you know, we have just arrived recently, and some things are too obvious. However, we still need to understand the following things." Tornance deliberately put on a look of carefree and mysterious and secretive.

Robert’s eyes became more burning, and he said: "You are right. Only by understanding the following things will you not be deceived."

"Just take us, George Let’s talk about the village. The guys living in the North District do all the hard work and earn a lot of money, but they have no worries and can leave at any time. They can only be regarded as refugees. They want to lead the way in Randal. The most common way is to spend money to trust someone, buy a woman in Wild Willow City, preferably with a child. Then they can move to the Western Region."

"People who live in the Western Region, There are children and daughters, who always have to support the family and buy furniture and clothes, which can be counted as registered subjects. The men in the family have the right to receive militia training. If the age is right and the performance is outstanding, Lord Nelson will hire him into Legion. .Then their family can borrow to build a house and live in our eastern district."

"Families in the eastern district can rent 80 mu of cultivated land, which is the treatment of the citizens. We want to be vassals for two reasons. Road. One is to serve in Legion for 30 years and get 20 acres of Fiefdom, or if your children go to school and become a deacon, after 30 years of service, you get 10 acres of Fiefdom."

"Vassal children, then. Can go to Silvermoon Manor to receive attendant training, after coming out, at least be a steward or Hundred-men Commander."

"Apart from this, you can also join the swamp scout, as long as you can work for 8 years, directly join Legion. The owner of Randal also rewarded a yard, 200 jinsore and 100 acres of rented land. As for those who are skilled and capable, as long as the owner of Randal can appreciate it, everything is easy to say."

Clement nodded, asked Cybbins: "You have served for twenty-five years, are you not afraid of fighting? What if you die?"

"This is my home, my parents and brother The sisters are protected by Master Randal, and I must defend the majesty of the Master." Sabins solemnly said: "If I die in battle, my son or brother will take over my armor and lance and fight for the Randal Family clan. ! My merits will be passed on to them, and the master and the church guarantee this."

"I heard that Randal leads the hired soldiers and vassal soldiers to earn a salary every year?" Tornance asked.

Sebens laughed, shook his head and said: "Randal has no vassal soldiers and hired soldiers, only the master’s soldiers. The sons of the vassal family and the sons of the leader’s family are treated the same as long as they join the army. .Our salary is divided only by military age and position. For the first three years, I get 4 jinsols every year, and every three years, the salary is increased by 2 jinsols. I am now a squad leader and manage an eight-man squad. There are also 2 Kingsall’s squadron allowances each year. The corps also has a ten captain who manages 25 people and a Hundred-men Commander who manages 80 people. 6 Hundred-men Commanders form a battlement with about 500 people. There are three Captains and Captains. The 6 infantry teams form a Legion with a total of 3,000 men and are led by Corps Head. Corps Head has 5 lieutenants. They will lead a cavalry battallion, two archers battallion and two heavy soldiers battallion."

"Of course, we currently don’t have a reorganized Legion... only 1500 infantry, 300 cavalry, and a fastbird cavalry." Saibbins sorry said: "Actually, I really want to be Swiftbird Cavalry, the guard of the is Master."

Clement thought for a while, then asked: "The quota for building a house this time has been preset?"

As soon as Bo wanted to speak, Marcy kicked him under the table.

"I won't disclose it to anyone." Clement's voice is soft and sincere, with a conquering charm, and makes people trust him involuntarily.

"When building a house for the first time, many people hesitated to wait and see, but we seized a good opportunity. This time 200 places are still recommended by the village Elder and the vassal master. Randal has one. The later merchants were like Sid in our village. He was rich and powerful. He bought public carriages, opened shops and built paper workshops, and made the village Elder very happy. His relatives can write and count, and other families. Of course there is no chance." Robert said out of his head.

Clement took a sip of purple cane wine and secretly said, "This is the problem."
