Heaven’s Intention

At this time, it was already the beginning of October. The breath of autumn is getting stronger every day.

Leader Tetashaw, everyone is busy with one thing, a very important thing, and that is the sowing of winter wheat.

Because the winter wheat had to be sown within this period of time, from the beginning of this month, the people in Tertashaw were all busy.

Not only the people in the territory, but also many officers and farm heads in Tetaxiao's territory took the lead. During this busy time of farming, they went to the fields to watch and inspect in person.

My lord, as of today, four tenths of the sowing tasks have been completed in the territory. In a few more days, all the winter wheat will be sown.

Next to a piece of farmland led by Tetashaw, a carriage was driving on the main road at a moderate pace, and beside the carriage were eight servants, all wearing leather armor, with lightning-like eyes. Observe the surrounding situation.

Inside the carriage, there were two people sitting, one was wearing druid robes and the other was wearing aristocratic attire.

Nick, the winter wheat seeds used in the territory this time are the first new varieties I researched. I remember that some time ago, Prince Xiu Senya sent someone to exchange one thousand gold coins for a batch of winter wheat seeds, right? Romon asked suddenly.

Yes, Prince Xiu Senya did send someone to exchange a thousand gold coins for a batch of seeds. I followed your instructions and calculated the price for him at the market price. Nick replied.

Besides him, are there any other nobles who came to ask for seeds? Romon continued to ask slowly, leaning half on the carriage seat.

All the nobles who have been on good terms with our territory have come here to exchange for seeds some time ago, but the number is not very large. After planting the seeds a few times ago, the yield has already been very high, and now it is the holy war that is about to start. At that time, everyone didn't want to take risks, and they were worried that something would happen that would affect the harvest of the territory. From my point of view, they probably wanted to see if the situation of this new seed was good or bad. Then, make plans Bar.

Nick thought for a while and said, Actually, there is nothing wrong with them doing this. Now that the holy war is imminent, it is almost the mentality of all nobles to seek stability.

Well, what they did is indeed right. They are not me. They don't have 100% confidence in the new seeds. Even if they are just a little bit close, they are still worried. It is better to sow the seeds used in previous years and get a share. A stable harvest will not cause some troubles to your own territory after the holy war begins. Romon said.

Since Romon encountered the direct attention of the gods last time, he has been very cautious. The current seeds, in fact, have not increased much in yield.

Mainly a slight improvement in insect resistance.

So it doesn't matter if you change it or not.

Romon's thoughts. Quickly drawn to jihad: Nick, do you hate war?

Disgusting. Nick answered very concisely. Just two words can already express his thoughts. For him who was born as a civilian and is in charge of internal affairs, war is the greatest damage.

When the war started, countless families were ruined, and the foundations that had been built with countless painstaking efforts and time were often destroyed in a few months or even a few days during the war.

I hate it too, but what we can do is not just hate it, but also take advantage of all the favorable factors in the war. There won't be any big wars. Because of our appearance, it won't happen again. We can do I just try my best to protect what I have, and at the same time, do some things I can do. Thinking of some problems that may arise after the outbreak of the jihad, Romon felt that it is necessary to give his good friend a dose of prevention Needle.

My lord, I think, I understand what you mean very well. Nick smiled lightly and said, Actually, although I always say that I hate war, I am with you and Farfell. The three of us have walked side by side for so many years, see As Tetashaw grows up a little bit, I know very well what kind of responsibility I bear, don't worry, I won't throw away the burden on my shoulders because I hate something.

After a pause, Nick continued: You're right, there won't be any big wars, because of our appearance, it won't happen again, all we can do is try our best to protect what we have... Once the jihad At the beginning, I am afraid that our route is basically over.

You are right. The development of Yuanfan Port now relies mostly on maritime trade. Once a war develops, the trade line will drop to about 30% of the current level, even if it is not completely interrupted. It is very likely. Romon said. .

Yes, I will analyze the prospects of the war and look for new sources of income. Nick said.

I can suggest you a few paths. Romon thought for a while and said.

My lord. Please tell me.

In fact, we have a very big factor now, that is, there are often thousands of druids in the territory. These druids consume in our territory, which is a very large number every day, which can offset many unfavorable factors.

Seeing Nick nodding, Romon said again: But it's not good to just go in but not go in, or just go out but not in. I want to use them.

Use it? Nick asked in surprise.

Well, they all want to learn ecological agriculture. But how can there be so many experimental fields for them? How about renting some wasteland to them and growing vegetables.

Grow vegetables, now?

Of course, as long as you have this intention, they have a lot of ways, and you can buy a large number of them, so that they can study and have economic income, and they can live in the territory for a long time. Moreover, many students in our college also have Opportunities to participate in internships.

However, what should we do with these vegetables?

You don't understand. Although it is not a secret that our canned food (earth-made) has spread, once a war breaks out, the demand will be great. All the vegetables in our territory may not be enough for military supplies. After you buy them, Workers can be hired to process it and sell it to the military.

The number of merchant ships on the route has decreased, and many people in the port will lose their jobs. At this time, there are new jobs, which can maintain it. It can not only make profits, but also stabilize a large number of druids, so that they can contribute to the territory, and it can also make many Isn't it great that workers' families continue to have jobs? Romon pointed out.

...Your Excellency, you are really wise and kind. After hearing this, Nick couldn't help but use honorifics, and his eyes showed admiration.

Not only because it was a good idea, but also because Romon considered the interests of the citizens.

It's nothing, it's the lord's responsibility. You're right, we're just trying our best to do what we can, and that's enough. Sighing, Romon said.

...Yes, I have inspected the farmland today. Where are you going next? Go back or go to school? Nick regained his mood and said.

Let's go to school. It's been a while since I went to school. It's a good time to see how the new students are studying. Romon thought for a while and said.

However, just as he was about to order the coachman to rush to Panshi Town, a rider on a horse suddenly came galloping on the road ahead of their team.

The visitor reined in the horse about ten meters in front of the Roman carriage, protecting the two attendants in front of the carriage. He touched the hilt of the sword vigilantly, looked at it, but found that the person who came was an acquaintance.

Is the lord in the car? I have something urgent to report to your lord! The rider shouted on the horse.

My lord, the captain of the third patrol team wants to see you. A servant who was closest to the carriage came to the side of the carriage and said into the carriage.

Let him come forward. At this time, the carriage stopped long ago, and Romon replied in the carriage. In such cases, there is usually a relatively urgent situation to report.

Yes. Upon receiving Romon's order, the attendant said to the rider in front of him, My lord told you to come and report.

The team leader had already dismounted at this time, upon hearing this, he quickly trotted to the front of the carriage. At this time, the thick curtain had been lifted, and Romon was sitting in the carriage, and the team leader hurriedly saluted.

Looking at the people outside, Luo Meng said with a smile: Okay, don't be too polite, what's the matter with you, just tell me, I'm listening.

Yes! The team leader hurriedly stood up, very quickly, and told Luo Meng the news he had received in detail.

You said that Lu Xiu Pei came back with a group of people? After hearing the other party's report, Luo Meng touched his chin and said to the man: Okay, I already know about it, thank you Now, go and do your work.

Yes, my lord! The captain bid farewell to Romon, rode his horse, and went back along the same road.

Romon, Lu Xiupei is back? Nick was sitting on the side and heard the news: I heard you said before that he was sent to the Kingdom of Faith to bring back three subordinates you knew when you were in exile. Right? Presumably, the person has been brought here now, let's go and have a look first!

Well, then I won't go to school for the time being, and go back to Yuanfan Port City. This Lu Xiupei is not bad. He was originally the top of the fourth level, so I sent him out for a long-distance trip. It seems that he found his way on the way and became a The knight is gone, um, I don’t know how Tekaxiu’s situation is.” Romon also wanted to see his old subordinates whom he had not seen for many years as soon as possible, so he ordered to return to the city immediately.

In Yuanfan Port City, although it is autumn, it is still extremely prosperous.

On Tetashaw's collar, there are more than a dozen great druids, nearly a thousand druids, and many knights and mages. It can be said that even the Kingdom of Esk at this time does not have Tetashaw's leader. safety.

Unless it is a brain-dead person, it will choose to be an enemy of Tertashaw under such circumstances. At least, the ordinary citizens living here, as well as the caravans in the past, don't have to worry about any safety issues at all.

Without this kind of worry, caravans are willing to pass through this place. The economic development in Tertashaw is naturally at a flying speed. Coupled with the policies implemented by Romon, the entire territory is even more prosperous.

Among them, Panshi Town and Yuanfan Port City are the most prominent.

In the lord's villa of Romon, a group of strange guests came in the evening.

After they entered the lord's villa, many orders came out one after another. One of them was to immediately vacate several vacant houses in the noble area so that these guests could live temporarily. And, began to build a mansion on a piece of open land at the south end of the aristocratic area.

Naturally, people did not dare to delay, and after receiving these orders, they quickly conveyed them.

At the same time, guessing whether it is this time and what kind of distinguished guest it is, seeing the orders flying out one by one, the lord must be in a very good mood at this time.

In fact, when he first met Lu Xiupei, Romon was very surprised and in a bad mood.

As soon as he returned to the lord's villa in the carriage, he received a message from Lu Xiupei begging to see him, and ordered him to come to see him. At first, Romon was in a good mood and said, Lu Xiupei, you became a man on the way. You have become a knight, yes, I will confer you a title in a few days... By the way, Tekaxiu and the others are also here? I heard that you brought a group of people with you.

My lord, I beg your forgiveness. Lu Xiupei immediately bowed his head in a half-kneeling knight salute.

En? What happened? Romon was a little surprised, his smile disappeared, and he asked, Could it be that Tekaxiu and the others had an accident?

This kind of half-kneeling knight ceremony is only held on formal occasions. In fact, it is not done in daily life, and a simple salute is enough.

Master Tekaxiu didn't come, he wanted to guard your territory, but the seven knights of the Kingdom of Faith have fallen, but Lulie and Xiusang have come.

This Tekaxiu is still brainless. The two little guys, Lulie and Xiusang, are here? Haha, not bad. As for the fall of the seven knights of the Faith Kingdom, this is expected. Why do you have to apologize. Romon said casually.

My lord, no, I recruited seven knights without your permission... I beg your forgiveness. Lu Xiupei knelt on the ground without getting up.

Romon frowned and said, What's going on, tell me.

Yes! Upon seeing Romon, Lu Xiupei didn't dare to hide anything, and told everything about bringing eleven knights back from the Kingdom of Faith on his own initiative.

These eleven knights, including father and son knights, still have seven knight families.

...My lord, they are the comrades-in-arms of the Tekaxiu knights. I invited them here when I got crazy. I did this without your permission. Please punish me! Lu Xiupei knelt on the ground, Finally said.

Luo Meng felt very angry about Lu Xiu Pei's unauthorized behavior.

If this matter is serious, it is a challenge to the authority of the lord. If it is small, it is also a crime of acting without authorization.

At that time, he walked around the room several times. Finally, he held back his breath and said to Lu Xiupei: I hope this is the first and last time. Since you are the first offender, I will If you don’t punish your crime, there will be no next time.”

Please rest assured, there will never be a next time! Lu Xiupei lowered his head and said reassuringly.

It was only then that Romon decided to let him go, but he still scolded him until he got angry, and then asked where the group of knights were at this time.

When he learned that he was waiting in the lobby outside, he suppressed the anger on his face and showed a smile: Since they are here, we can't keep them waiting, let's go out!

Yes, my lord! Lu Xiupei finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The following words are not charged, and a brief history of disembarking

Regarding the origin of ships, according to expert analysis, the ancestor of modern ships is the canoe. The canoe probably originated from the fact that people who could not swim could escape by hugging tree trunk logs during flash floods. Therefore, humans try to transform these trunk logs: hollow them out to make them more stable in the water and hold more people or things.

After the birth of the canoe, human beings learned to use more wood to build larger ships according to the needs of production and life. When humans entered the class society, with the emergence of war and the spread of war from land to rivers, lakes and seas, ships specially used for water warfare were differentiated from ordinary ships, and after continuous development, ancient warships were formed.
