Civilization spreads to another world

It was not only Jin Yi and Qing Shi who came back, but a large group of people followed behind.

The guards saw it from a distance from the converted tower of the watch room, and they were so frightened that they immediately ran back to report.

When Shi Yu and Huo Ci went up to the tower, they were surprised to see the crowd.

At least thousands of them can be seen with the naked eye.

Almost catching up with the existing number of people in their territory.

Shi Yu's heart beats, what does this mean?

Huo Ci quickly ordered the captains of the guards around him, and soon a spiky wooden barrier was set up at the entrance of the village. Archers were on the towers on both sides.

The whole village is under martial law.

"You have to get out the telescope." Shi Yu narrowed his eyes and tried to see clearly.

Huo Ci frowned: "There is still fire/powder."

Shi Yu: "If I knew I was going to time travel, I should have brought a complete book of mathematics, physics and chemistry with me. No, I should have brought a time travel guide. Only formulas are not enough, and there are also local methods of steel making and local methods of brewing wine..."

He stared at the crowd that was getting closer and closer, and couldn't help thinking about it.

Huo Ci patted him on the shoulder to comfort him, and moved forward, blocking him behind him.

The guards gripped their weapons tightly.

At the touch of a hair.

The crowd got closer and closer, and at a distance of ten meters from the entrance of the village, Qingshi stood up with the guards. As agreed, he threw the weapon in his hand towards the entrance of the village, and then raised his hands.

Shi Yu felt relieved.

But soon, everyone raised their weapons again. It turned out that these people were not all brought back by Jin Yi and Qingshi!

"We followed the master's order, only looking for craftsmen's servants and officials, a total of 260 seven people..." Jin Yi hurriedly explained, "The people behind them followed up by themselves, and we can't drive them away."

Shi Yu focused on the number 260 seven, and asked in surprise, "So many?"

There are less than twenty craftsmen in Xiangkui Town.

Jin Yi immediately claimed credit and said: "The Marquis of Changchang was defeated. Many earls and viscounts ran away like Baron Baimu. They are the exclusive artisan slaves raised by the earl and viscount in the manor. The subordinate officials were rescued by us, and they offered to follow us."

Huo Ci sharply said, "Is it chaotic outside?"

Qingshi nodded, with a serious expression, it seems that this trip made him feel deeply: "Many people died outside in winter, many villages were emptied, the lords ran away, and some towns were also emptied, people don't know where they went, Some were occupied by serfs, they found a lot of grain from the manor, and they wanted to sell it to us..."

He was confused: "But they don't cultivate, what should we do if there is no food? When the manor has a new owner, they will definitely be punished." He was a little scared, "My lord, when we left, the new Marquis had already arrived in Hongxiang City. Surely a new Baron will be sent, what shall we do?"

For the time being, Shi Yu and Huo Ci were not in the mood to explain to Qingshi who had started to learn to think independently, they only put on the smile of an envoy to reassure him: "Don't be afraid, the Goddess of Peace will protect us."

Goddess of Peace?Qingshi was at a loss.

Shi Yu and Huo Ci are anxious to know about the new Marquis.

Jin Yi said: "The new Marquis is not the son of the Marquis of Brightness, but the nephew of his wife. His wife is the daughter of the Marquis of Campanula, and the new Marquis is the third son of the Marquis of Campanula. I heard that the new Marquis married the daughter of the Marquis of Brightness." , so the Bright Marquis asked him to be the new Marquis."

Kind of messy.

Shi Yu made sense, that is to say, in order to ensure the future of his son-in-law, Marquis Mingming deliberately provoked Marquis Changchang, killed him, and then let his son-in-law and wife's natal nephew take the position.

So the three Marquises of New Marquis, Bright Marquis, and Campanula Marquis got married and got married, forming the same front.

There are only twelve Marquises in the Blue Neck Principality, and they account for a quarter, and there may be more.

Shi Yu inexplicably smelled a bit of conspiracy.

But after thinking about it, since the Blue Neck Grand Council agrees, it means that he doesn't care about his subordinates forming a party. He probably thinks too much. The political means of this world cannot be compared with ancient China.

The two asked about the new Marquis.

When Jin moved and they left, the new Marquis hadn’t arrived yet, and the upper echelons of Hongxiang City were in a mess. Most of them were relatives of the Marquis Changchang and family members of knights and officials. Once the Marquis Changchang died, they fled in all directions, and the common people were panicked. , although the magistrate is still there, there is already chaos.

Jin Yi and his entourage stayed in Hongxiang City for ten days, pretending to be merchants to quietly inquire about the news, during which time they exchanged all the soap they brought with them for gold and silver.

On the tenth day, the new marquis team entered the city, and they left immediately as Shi Yu and Huo Ci ordered.

Sure enough, as soon as they left, the new Marquis asked someone to close the city gate.

When they went there, the news of Marquis Chang’s defeat had not yet spread, but when they came back, the lords from all over the country already knew about it, those who committed suicide, those who ran away, had what Qingshi said.

Jin Yi took the opportunity to buy the craftsmen and servants who were left behind, rescued several officials who were tied up by serfs, and bought a lot of grain from them.

Shi Yu finally had the mood to explain Qingshi's doubts: "They probably want to leave for other territories, so they exchanged grain for gold and silver."

There is no such thing as a guide in this world. It is not difficult to leave, but when the lord is still there, the risk of serfs escaping is too great. will be executed.

During the stable period, they would definitely not want to run away, just like the former serfs in Baishan Village, as long as the lord was still there, they would still be obedient even if they starved to death.

Among the serfs who chose to sell grain, there were obviously awakened and wise people. They knew that once there was a new lord, they would definitely not be able to survive the riots, so they simply sold the grain and ran away.

Qingshi was stunned.

Jin Yi curled his lips in disapproval: "Even if they went to other territories, the lord would not accept them as serfs. If they want to survive, they can only go to the city, either as coolies or beggars."

There are 260 new arrivals, including 180 craftsmen. The arrival of these craftsmen has greatly made up for the lack of craftsmen in Baishan Village. Shiyu was especially surprised. The so-called craftsmen are not only carpenters, blacksmiths and masons, but also barbers, Shoemakers, hatmakers, repairing pearls, gold and silver objects, weaving and dyeing cloth, making and repairing musical instruments, and so on.

Shi Yu was ecstatic, and after registering one by one, he brought these craftsmen to the specially opened craftsman area to settle down.

In order to facilitate management, Shi Yu and Huo Ci divided more than 1000 people in the form of a community. The craftsmen live in a special craftsman community, and there are various simple factories next to them.

The free people and the serfs merged together. There are no serfs in their territory. They will all be free people in the future, but it has not been announced yet. The merged residents are divided into four communities, each with about 300 people, and some of them are farming. , and some went to work in factories.

Every neighborhood is patrolled by guards.

Nearly two hundred craftsmen joined in, and the originally lonely craftsman's area quickly became lively. According to the old rules, Shi Yu conjured up a shack to let them live temporarily. If they want to live in a new house, they must exchange labor points.

There were 78 servants and seven subordinate officials left, and the servants in the courtyard were saturated, and there was no need for new recruits. Shi Yu and Huo Ci had always decided to arrange them to farm in residential areas first.

This time, the two were tough, either farming or leaving.

These servants did not dare to beg, and responded in panic.

Shi Yu called Berry and asked her to make arrangements. If there are really talents among these people, there will always be a chance to stand out, so don't worry.

As for the seven subordinate officials.

Shi Yu asked earnestly and was greatly disappointed.

What these subordinate officials usually do is to help the lord inspect the farmland, distribute seeds during farming, or send inspection teams to collect taxes, and then record and record such trivial matters.

Some of the words were full of sophisticated flattery, Shi Yu hadn't revealed his identity in front of them, these people only regarded him as the lord, and pretended to be his dog's leg and continue to help him oppress the people.

There are also two smart ones.

One obviously had doubts about his identity. He was terrified, but he was very timid. He seemed to regard them as rebels, and his whole body was shaking when he answered the question.

The other is calm, but too calm, and it seems wrong.

And this person was the only one present with a name that couldn't be translated.

Call Rainey.

He was very handsome, which was one of the reasons why Ling Shiyu and Huo Ci felt something was wrong.

Traveling so far, the five people they have seen are the most beautiful than Hill. Hill is too young, so handsome is worse than beautiful.

Rainey was the first to make them say handsome.

Light brown hair, light green eyes, and sharp facial features. Although he doesn't look very old, he still has the innocence and childishness of a teenager, but compared to Hill, he is already a man.

"My father is Viscount Will," he said. "I am his sixth son, and I was sent to study with Earl Fett."

Shi Yu and Huo Ci looked at each other, nodded to show that they understood, and then they were taken out to farm like the servants.

"Find someone to keep an eye on these seven people." Huo Ci told Qingshi, "Hide away, don't be discovered."

Son of a Viscount?Let's just believe it.

After settling these people, there are still a group of people who come to guard outside the village.

Now that they are here, Shi Yu and Huo Ci don't want to let these people go, all of them are laborers, and most of them are the families of craftsmen, which is why Jin Yi and his party can still carry food with so many people. Come back safely.

However, they didn't intend to agree to let these people in right away. If so many people flooded in at once, it would very likely destroy the existing order. Shi Yu and Huo Ci didn't dare to bet on even one percent of it, and they had to act steadily.

But we had to give these people hope and let Jin Yi inform them that as long as the craftsmen got ten work points, they could take their families to live with them.

More than 200 newcomers joined, and Baishan Village became lively.

Most of the original residents have never left Xiangkui Town and are very curious about the outside world.

"Which territory are you from?" someone asked.

"Earl Fett's Jinhui Manor." Someone replied, "We are the exclusive craftsmen of the manor."

"Earl!" Someone exclaimed, "Isn't the Earl's manor beautiful?"

The man said: "Of course, every morning and evening, the manor will be dyed golden by the sun, it is very beautiful."

"Compared with our academy?"

The man said honestly, "The academy is more beautiful."

The person who asked the question became proud: "Of course, this is a building of the Kingdom of God, and it was built by the envoy himself!"

The newcomers who had seen the shack conjured up out of thin air by the gods all showed expressions of admiration.

"What's it like outside?" someone asked again.

"Outside..." the craftsmen were silent for a while, and said, "Many people died, and everyone in the village died in winter."

Someone said: "Our whole town is dead, killed by those serfs, they took the viscount's manor, fortunately I am a barber, they want me to cut their hair, they didn't kill me, I share a house The carpenter was killed on the first day."

Residents who participated in the occupation of the Cypress Manor quietly buried their heads.

"Our Viscount committed suicide." Another person said, "He is the son of the Changchang Marquis, but according to the maids, the steward and the officials teamed up to strangle him and then took his property and ran away."

"Ah!" Everyone exclaimed, "Then what do you do?"

The man said: "We shared the food. I took the food home and was robbed by the village chief and the serfs. They wanted to kill me and cook our family. I ran away with my family and met a man on the way. Lord Qingshi, he saved us."

"Cooked to eat?" Everyone was shocked.

The man felt concerned: "Yes, I heard from my wife that there is no food in winter, and many people starved to death. Everyone was so hungry that they ate those dead people."

"We also have them in our territory." Someone said, "I heard that there is a village that robs children. In the village where my family lives, some children were robbed. I was so scared that I hurriedly took my son to the manor secretly."

His voice dropped: "Later my mother and wife disappeared."

Everyone gasped and got goosebumps.

"Fortunately, we have divine envoys."

"Yes, and the Baron has allowed us to fish."

"Thanks to the envoy, the baron doesn't care about our life or death."

"That's right, without the envoys, there would be no new house to live in, no buns to eat, and children to read and write."

"It's just..."

The topic turned towards praising the envoy.

The new craftsmen have already been shocked by the existence of the envoys, and looked at them with envy and longing.

A person in the crowd didn't make a sound from beginning to end, listening silently, his green eyes flickering, he didn't know what he was thinking.
