"Have you heard?"

In the village that day, women were quietly talking about this topic.While sewing a little hat for her daughter to match the skirt, Lily looked around understandingly, and whispered to her good friend Kou Kou, "Is that the case? I heard about it."

"It is said that Mr. Little Lance proposed to the Duke!" Koko said softly, "God bless the kind little Mr. Lance."

"Coco." Lily frowned disapprovingly and whispered to her good friend, "What are you talking about?"

Wouldn't it be foolish to say God bless within the confines of Black Swan Castle?

Koko also stuck out her tongue, and said embarrassedly: "Look at me, I'm confused, but let me say that Mr. Lance may be the real Son and Angel, but the group of people in the temple... huh... ..."

After speaking, Kou Kou sneered.

Lily also nodded in agreement, and said softly: "It is said that the people in the church area have become more and more sad these few years. The temple has collected three times more taxes than our side in recent years. Last year, our side lived very warmly. A lot of people starved to death over there..."

The rabbit dies and the fox is sad, and things hurt the same kind. When it comes to the people in the church area not far away, Lily is not so happy. Kou Kou hurriedly said: "Don't talk about those sad things, we don't care about that over there, but this time This matter... Your two brothers, Stuart, are right next to you, what do you plan to do?"

Speaking of this, Lily sighed and said softly: "...Julie came here last night, and Tut is also upset."

What the two of them were talking about was that slaves could gain freedom, but it was different from Tang Feiliu's initial thoughts. After thinking about it, Edward called the administrators of York and Black Swan Castle to discuss together, and finally worked out the whole process—the rules A high output value, the harvest other than the output, can be used as the slave's private property, and the private property accumulated can be redeemed for oneself.

When this method came out, everyone was mixed with joy and sorrow, because it was a happy event, but the worry was that the production was estimated to be higher than in previous years-although the things in the field grew very well this year, but Everyone is not sure how much production can be increased.

So people like the Stewart family with capable brothers came to ask for help one after another. The marriage of slaves is not free. Although Edward, the lord, is very kind and allows everyone to marry freely, the parents of free people's children will not Children and slaves are allowed to intermarry, because after intermarriage, two young people are fine, but the children have become slaves, and only those with brains are willing to do so.

But it's different now, this is a huge opportunity, and who knows whether the Duke was persuaded by Mr. Lance for a while, or is he going to insist on it all the time?If it's just a short-lived opportunity, if you don't seize it at this time, won't you regret it for the rest of your life?

So both of Stewart's brothers came up with their children, and the women cried and begged them to help for the sake of the children, and Stewart grew up with two brothers who were either very evil or He is not good at arranging his wealth. When Stuart advised him, he drank ale and laughed at Stuart's stinginess. Now his temples were covered with hoarfrost, and he cried in front of Stuart with snot and tears, scolding himself His arrogance and stupidity... Anyone who has a little bit of compassion will be moved when they see a stranger so sad, let alone his own brother?

Moreover, the two brothers Stuart have obviously suffered a lot in recent years-no matter how much income they earn, all of them do not belong to them, and they are used by others, which is worse than mules and horses. It was fine when Edward was here in the past few years. When the Duke and his eldest son ruled, among the villagers, those who had girls of the right age were the ones who cried dry. I don’t know how much they were ruined by the old Duke and his heirs, and the slave children didn’t have much time to play. When they were going to work in the fields, Lily looked at the little nephews, who were about the same age as Lance, but very thin and short and timid. Lily handed them bread, and the faces of the children were terrified, which made people feel unbearable.

Lily knew in her heart how her Tut had the heart to watch her own brothers suffer like this. In previous years, she had no choice but to secretly stuff some black bread for them, so that if Lance met him, he would take more care of his cousin. Brother, others, they are powerless, not only economically, but also in terms of rules.

Because according to the rules, even though they are brothers, when one is a slave, they belong to the master completely. Even if the brothers give him things or wealth, they all belong to the master. Some of them will be whipped if they are caught.

So apart from occasionally giving them some food in a remote place and letting them eat it quietly, at other times, they have to pretend that there is no intersection, especially during the reign of the original Brother Edward, he was not a kind gentleman. Scared.

But who wants their blood relatives to live such a difficult life?After Edward deliberately spread the news this time, the atmosphere in the village changed immediately.

Not only did the well-behaved slaves in the past go crazy, wishing they could live in the fields they were assigned to, but even the children of the slaves ran around every day, and the dead branches and firewood nearby were picked up by these little guys. .

The slave women, together with their men, carried water and planted potatoes on the field ridges every day. After Tang Feiliu rented out Edward's cattle, the carpenters in the village were busy for a long time, and these cattle were put on rough The frame of the truck, the whole concrete road comes and goes, and people who go to Yorka manure can be seen all day long. The people in the whole village don’t speak, and everyone is holding back their energy. They can’t wait for the harvest season to come soon. These people are all related to each other. Who doesn't have a few relatives who are in distress?

Everyone was discussing the harvest season in private, and Stuart hadn't promised anything, but Lily had quietly started cutting cloth for her nephew and niece, planning to make them each a new style of clothes that all children in the village had.She knew what her man would choose in the end. Although for Xiaojia's sake, such a thing was indeed a loss, but Lily didn't find it hard. She knew that Stuart would make arrangements.

And when everyone here was immersed in all this, Tang Feiliu saw Alan again.

Allen came to the castle specially to look for Tang Feiliu.

Tang Feiliu is an otaku. Usually in modern times, friends bring materials to him to find him for dinner. He is rarely used to looking for others. In this era, without Jess dragging him out every day, he would happily stay at home every day. After a while, Allen came to the door, and he felt that he was too homely. In such a picturesque European countryside without smog, how much spring he missed because of being busy...

And Allen came to the door to ask for something.

"You want me to introduce Mr. Ross to you?" Tang Feiliu was a little stunned by his plan.He said strangely, "Mr. Ross has been supplying goods here recently, and he himself is still inspecting the business in York. How come you can't meet him?"

And Mr. Allen smiled wryly, and said, "Little Lance, you don't know, this Mr. Ross is a big celebrity now. I sent the butler to invite him several times, but he didn't answer my invitation."

"Is there such a thing?" Tang Feiliu was stunned. He chatted with Allen for a while before he finally figured it out—Ross started using the improved version of cement, but it didn't cause a huge reaction, because everyone subconsciously felt that Cheap cement seemed to mean poor quality, but after Tang Feiliu built the road between York and Black Swan Castle, everyone immediately realized the preciousness of this cement.

So Ross rented a shop in York City, and took advantage of the fact that road transportation has become much simpler than before, and transported a large amount of cement over there, and even received orders there, and then asked people to take the order to the cement factory to pick up the goods.

It has to be said that this Ross does have a keen talent for doing business. When he did this, the cement plant was so busy that there was no day or night. It is said that the men and women over there were busy around the entire cement plant and were going crazy. Many businessmen go there to find business opportunities.

Tang Feiliu was suddenly excited. It could be said that he was dozing off. Someone gave him a pillow. Although this Black Swan Castle is blessed by nature, he planned the agricultural land far away. He has always left the village and the large plain under the Swan Castle empty. What?It was just to find a way to attract a large number of people to gather. He hadn't considered what kind of factory to build, but Alan brought him this good idea at this moment.

"But what do you want cement for?" Tang Feiliu was excited, but he endured it and asked Alan about his plan first. Alan thought for a while and said, "Actually, I saw the growing environment of the wheat here. It's much better than ours...Little Lance, you don't know how many people around here are envious of the Duke's side!"

Ai Lun smiled and said that Tang Feiliu finally understood under Ai Lun's narration. What he did recently made many people eager to try it, but unlike Ai Lun, everyone had no personal relationship with Tang Feiliu, and it was unbearable. They couldn't find a way... So everyone elected Alan as the representative and asked Alan to discuss the business with Tang Feiliu.

It turns out that everyone was very excited when they saw the power of manure, but Black Swan and York have a cement road, but they don’t have it there. There are also manor owners who send slaves to transport manure, but not only the time is long and the mountain road is rugged, the probability of spilling is extremely high Gao, the calculation is really not worth the loss, so everyone thought about it, for future profits, and for the envy shown by the ladies during the spring social season-those ladies have complained to each other countless times that the muddy floor is easy to wet their skirts.

Men always have their beloved wives and daughters. When ladies go to York, after passing the cement road and getting out of the carriage for a walk, they listen to their wives and daughters sighing about the cleanliness of the cement road and discussing the cleanliness of the castle. Concrete floors, well-organized and clean gardens...the number of times has increased, and the men can't sit still when they see the growth of the wheat seedlings.

According to Allen, this is a big list, and it is good for the internal governance. Of course, Tang Feiliu welcomes it very much. This is everyone's request, and Allen said that there is a private request, he said softly : "Little Lance, can you teach me how to improve the drainage and sanitation of the manor?"

But it turned out that Alan was running around on the sea, and he had always dismissed the things about the temple. Alan saw Tang Feiliu many times, and saw him clean and dust-free. Pal looked like a little earth egg, which was nothing, but Rogers had been suffering from a low-grade fever not long ago, and it kept coming back and forth. Allen thought of what Tang Feiliu said when he was chatting with him. Seeing Rogers like this Obviously it was caused by poor resistance. He was afraid that Rogers would become more and more serious, so he hurried over at this moment and specifically asked Tang Feiliu.

Saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda, and Tang Feiliu is busy coming out of the field right now. This happened just in time, so that he can also give the manor that Edward and he had agreed to go on vacation to at the time. Refresh it.

Although the castle is comfortable, but the large bright glass windows and the large balcony full of sunshine... To be honest, the competition is still greater than that of the castle.

And there is another more important reason. The place where Alan lives is considered to be a relatively close place where the gentry live nearby. After all, they are all on the same hills, and it is also a relatively rich place. According to what Alan just opened For the price, Tang Feiliu can make a small profit, and he can also promote the importance of manure accumulation and cleaning. If the promotion is done first among these wealthy classes, the common people below will naturally become popular.

No matter how you think about it, this is a wonderful thing, Tang Feiliu agreed without hesitation, and after drinking the milk in a hurry that night, he told Edward about it.

Edward looked at him, narrowing his eyes slightly.

Tang Feiliu immediately felt that Lord Duke seemed to be a little furious, and he quickly said: "My lord, I will go back and forth on time every day."

"But you're working too hard like this." Edward felt sorry for him, but Tang Feiliu really didn't want to give up. Edward thought about it and said, "Maybe I should take a break too."

Tang Feiliu was at a loss.

Edward smiled slightly, and he said, "I promised you, I will take you to that manor to see the spring scenery, and now the time is just right, so I will move the official documents there too."

Tang Feiliu felt sweet in his heart, but immediately asked nervously: "...is it alright if you leave?"

Edward smiled and said, "The knights are trained as knight commanders. There is no war at the moment, so it doesn't matter."

Tang Feiliu was relieved a lot, cheered, jumped up happily and hugged Edward.

Edward's body tightened, and Tang Feiliu touched Edward's neck deliberately, feeling that Edward's whole body was breathing heavily.

But in the end, Edward tucked Tang Feiliu back under the quilt. Tang Feiliu was very happy, but a little bit disappointed—what the hell is going on?Kissed, kissed and hugged, he was thinking a lot, but why didn't Edward express anything else?
