I'm really a crispy French

In addition to the bulk trade in spices and flowers, the Principality of Gretel also has some special and rare spices that are only sold in annual auctions.Originally, the auction was held in September or October, but this time the auction was held in advance, and it was changed to Yarman City, which is not very famous in the Principality of Gretel.

——Businessmen all said that the Church of the God of Nature reached a private deal with certain people, so they suddenly changed the time and place in order to sell the treasures to them.

"It seems that Mombe doesn't want to be thought by the merchants that he has cheated them." Aldi rested his elbows on the window sill, resting his chin with both hands, looking at the pedestrians on the street outside.

"Why don't we take a flying mount?" Leon looked at the city that day, and another huge flying beast landed, this time it was like a griffin, this thing was as big as a small house, passing by When the sky above the small town, the huge shadow makes the faint of heart scream ridiculously.

"Because it's too expensive." Eldy looked out at him.

"..." Such a simple sentence, it is really speechless, "I have never seen it in Diller City."

"Flying mounts in Diller City are only allowed to land in a certain square in the East District, and flying mounts are not allowed to pass through the air, otherwise they will definitely be attacked by the church." Eldy added, "A powerful Big countries have similar regulations.”

So the Principality of Gretel is still too weak, too useless.

"However, these merchants are all here for some rare spices, and our products may not be easy to sell by then."

"Don't worry, the weeds are dried and used as forage, and we can keep the wood if no one sells it. Urban construction requires a lot of wood. We eat the wild vegetables ourselves, store the medicinal materials after processing, and we can keep them for our own use. In the early stage of construction, Objects are actually more useful than money. We can still..." Eldy raised his eyebrows when he spoke, his eyes were bright and his spirit was shining.

Subconscious: It seems that he is very happy.

Leon: Well, I'm happy too.

After dinner that night, Mombe knocked on the door to inform Leon and Eldy: "The tenant farmers are back, we'd better start now, otherwise there will be a large number of them fleeing."

Mombe had warned Leon's tenant farmers to run away, and now it seems that he is trying to minimize losses for Leon.

Leon and Eldy looked at Mombey with four eyes, and the priest's dark circles could not be covered.Eldy gently tugged at the corner of Leon's clothes: Is he really a good person?

Leon blinked at him: it seemed to be true.

Others have also been called out, and no one has any objection to this. Morifio's words represent the opinions of all of them: "The bones are about to be cured, and finally they can move!"

After adjusting their psychological conditions, these people can't stay idle.

The large group of people—it was big enough compared to this small town—went straight to the outer city, which shocked many merchants. Behind the merchants who came to auction the precious spices stood a big chamber of commerce, a big family, and even one country.Some people were more stable and still sat in their rooms after getting the news, while some people were more curious and followed with their bodyguards.

After leaving the city, they had to make a detour, diverting from the only avenue in Yarman City, and walking towards the dense forest along the path made by poor people chopping firewood or picking wild vegetables under the city wall.The knights rode in front, followed by a large number of carriages that came according to Leon's request. As for the tenant farmers...

"They're still in the woods, half an hour away," Mombe explained.

Everyone understood that in the dense forest, even if it was only half an hour away, those farmers could not see that they were so close to Yarman City.After several months of pioneering in the temporary camp, they have thoroughly understood the horror of the dense forest, and no one dared to escape.

"Thank you very much." Although Leon felt that it was unnecessary, thanks were still needed.

"Then I can send the carriage back to..."

"Boom!" Countless tentacles suddenly emerged from the ground!They parted the land in an instant, and the thick tree collapsed to the ground with its roots, and the tentacles turned into sharp blades, cutting off the branches and roots of the tree in an instant, leaving only a fairly straight trunk in the middle.These severed parts were piled up with those tiny trees by tentacles, knotted with long vines.Mushrooms and berries were held high in the air by tiny tentacles, and all kinds of plants of the same kind were grouped together, apparently Leon didn't know them.

The tentacles became entangled and turned into a big lump, hitting the ground with a "bang bang bang", smashing the ground that was still covered with dense plants until smooth and firm.

"……go?"

In just two words, a small section of spacious avenue has appeared in the wild forest just now, and this short section of avenue is extending downwards in the wild fluttering of non-loss tentacles.

(O 口O) Mombe's mouth was open so wide that it looked as if his jaw had been dislocated.The local coachmen behind him, as well as the businessmen watching the excitement, made all kinds of weird noises.

"Father Mombe, let the carriages pass, and they should be able to distinguish what is edible and what is medicinal?"

"Yes, no... no!" Mombe was tongue-tied for a while, until he bit his tongue, and finally recovered his normal ability to speak, "They don't know much, but some of us can. Soon!"

Mombe was accompanied by some local warriors, and the clergy of the God of Nature were better at distinguishing animals and plants than dozens of believers of the gods.After reacting, Mombe quickly gave orders to the soldiers, appeased the coachman and the merchants, and started to discuss the issue of shipment with the merchants.

Although these merchants came here for precious spices, it doesn't necessarily mean that they have no possibility of doing other business.

The local fighters went to distinguish the plants. At first they thought they would take away the useful ones and throw away the useless ones. Who knew that the tentacles could understand their words, and could arrange the plants quickly and carefully, and then stuff them into grass baskets or In the sacks—these are what Eldi asked Morifio to buy, and the straw baskets and sacks in Alman City were almost cleared by them.

The carriage carrying the goods walked in the front, and after it was full of goods, it turned around and transported directly into the city, with Leon and the others following behind.Although it is walking while paving the road, the forward speed is basically equivalent to the speed of a normal person trotting, which is not slow.So, ten minutes later, Leon met his first people, his sharecroppers.

These people were all dressed in tatters and their faces were numb. When they saw the tentacles opening the way, many of them screamed, and some of them fainted on the spot.Some people wanted to run away, but in order to prevent them from escaping, the soldiers had already tied them together with ropes, with a knot on the arm and a knot around the neck, and men, women, old and young, tall and short, were strung together.And since they left the camp, they only had one bowl of wild vegetable soup every day, and they couldn't get enough to eat. It was their limit to keep up with the team, and it was completely impossible for them to escape alone.

Under the whip of Kavato's mercenaries, everyone climbed up again, crowded together like a flock of ducks and walked onto the newly paved road.When they passed by the tentacles, someone lost control of themselves in fright, and a stench of feces and urine spread in the air.

Leon's avatar saw how these tenant farmers were driven all the way here, but he didn't interfere at that time, and now he asked clearly: "I thought the tenant farmers signed a contract to farm the land for me. They should be Free people, right? Why does it look like a slave?"

"From the moment the contract is signed with you, the tenant farmers are your private property. And my opinion is, please don't treat them too kindly, otherwise, after a year, there will be no harvest on your land."

How untrustworthy are these people for such an opinion from a good person?

"Can you explain the difference between tenant farmers in detail? I think tenant farmers are a little higher than hired farmers?" The villagers in the manors around Dillier City belong to hired farmers. They have personal freedom and do not want to give it to any manor owner. Work, and you can leave immediately with your wife and children.Of course, very few people do this.

"No, you got it wrong. In fact, it's just the opposite." Mombe shook his head. "Tenants generally have nothing to own. After signing a contract with the lord, the lord will give them the items they need to survive. The farmer has a certain amount of property. The lord does not have a contract, but works for the lord according to the season, and gets paid every once in a while."

"I don't need to pay them wages?" This seems to have nothing to do with the tenant farmers in Leon's impression of his motherland in ancient times. Although the tenant farmers in his impression seem to be of low status, the meaning of tenant farmers in this world is actually closer to serfs .

"You just have to keep your sharecroppers fed . . . as long as you don't starve them to death."

"I'm so cruel in your eyes? Or am I so useless?"

Mombe smiled flatteringly: "Of course not, but if you encounter difficult things, you can apply to the church for assistance."

So I still feel that his child may not be able to support so many people, but there is no need to argue about this issue now: "Since they are all my private property, why do they run away? Isn't it okay to flee back to the city?" Will it be captured?"

"They already have nothing. If they feel that what is in front of them is a road to death, someone will always turn their heads."

Leon nodded, this is indeed true.

A tentacle appeared next to the tenants. There was an eye on the tentacle. The tenants looked at the tentacle tremblingly. The ones that were not incontinent just now are also lost... Those who have been incontinent, as long as there is a little left, they will come immediately. Second ban.Only a very small number of courageous ones showed flattering and obsequious smiles at the tentacles.

Leon turned his head and looked at Eldi: "Can you train them to be soldiers? They don't need the level of elite soldiers, but at least they understand the most basic discipline. In addition, they are more like people."

Eldy, who was sitting with Bai Dandan in his arms while watching the play, was shocked. Although he didn't see what those tenant farmers were like up close, he could guess.

"Your Excellency Leon..." Mombe was also confused. However, what he thought before was that the plants crawled out of the soil and the land paved the way. Now it is almost realized. Who said this is impossible?

Morifio, who was behind Mombe as the background, also heard it, and he was the only one who showed an interested smile: "Eldy, do you want to try it? We will help you."

"Eldi, the entire territory of Hope Village belongs to you and me, but I can rent the land to them in blocks. They only need to pay [-]% of the harvest every year, but the minimum tax can be [-]%. However, the division of fields is a matter for next year. This year, the first division is houses. The wood should not be easy to sell. We will start building houses after they are dried. The food for daily training is also divided into grades.”

Eldy blinked, from being surprised at the beginning, he gradually became thoughtful. He stood up and performed a chest-beating knight ritual to Leon. He stood up and threw Bai Dandan into Leon's arms. Cy: "Take care of it, I'm going to get to work!"

He took a deep breath and stepped out of the carriage.

Leon held Bai Dandan between his arms, and stood at the door of the carriage, waving to him.

Aldi jumped in front of all the tenants with a whoosh, and the tenants let out a loud gasp because of the fright, but when they saw that it was a child, some people's eyes lit up immediately, but before they could do anything, Eldie Erdi drew out his long sword, and a burst of grudge directly split the big tree beside him in half from the middle!

The tentacles that were about to uproot the big tree were also taken aback, and they turned to look at Eldy together.Eldi didn't see it, and the tentacles turned around again, doing what they should do.

"Leave a bag of mushrooms," Eldy said to a passing tentacle.His sword temporarily silenced these tenant farmers, but he understood that both he and Leon had one of their biggest weaknesses - age and appearance, they could easily cause people to look down on them, even if they showed abilities beyond adults The same is true. Adults always have a sense of superiority in front of them, and think that "no matter how strong they are, they are still children, and they are easy to deceive." Therefore, Eldi must first establish his own authority.

"Whoever is willing to stand up and move this bag of mushrooms to the carriage over there, I will let him and his family leave." Aldi said with a cold expression, he did not look at the tenant farmers, but put his own The sword was raised, stroking the cold blade.

The long sword reflected light in the sun, and the tenant farmer at the front only felt a glare for a while, and couldn't help but back away.The tenant farmers standing in the back couldn't help but look at the stumps that were being dragged away by the tentacles. Although they were children, young masters were sometimes more terrifying than masters.The old men despise their filth and will not approach them if they have nothing to do.The young masters always like to have fun everywhere... The tenant farmers bowed their heads, and the men held on to their wives and children.

"Master, I am willing!" A voice suddenly sounded.

Eldi nodded to the soldiers on one side. Although the other party was not a survivor, he knew who to listen to. He walked into the crowd of tenant farmers—it was a bit of a struggle. Everyone wanted to stay away from this person, but They were so tightly bound with rope that the warrior had to cut the ropes of several to bring out the speaker.

He has messy hair like weeds, and the original color of the hair is completely invisible, just like the true color of his hands and face. His posture all the way out is deeply bent, or Is he just a hunchback?When he was seven or eight steps away from Eldi, he lay down on the ground, knelt and crawled up to Eldi, intending to kiss Eldi's shoes: "Jack is willing to serve you, master."

Eldy took a step back: "Go and carry your pockets."

Jack shook when he got up from the ground. He didn't eat much, and he didn't even drink a sip of water for half a day today.But he stood firm, walked to the sack step by step, and picked it up.

There are fresh mushrooms here, and the fresh mushrooms are very tender and cannot be pressed, so the bag is actually not heavy.But it still bent Jack's back even more. It took him more than ten minutes to complete a road that lasted two to three minutes. Throw this sack up.

When he walked back step by step, Eldy nodded: "Very well, you can take your family and leave."

The tenant farmers shouted loudly: "Master! I can also carry sacks for you!" "Master! I am much stronger than him!"

"Shut up! I don't need someone to carry the sacks now!" Eldi's voice was still clear and clear, but it made the ears of these tenant farmers hurt. They shut their mouths, not daring to ask Eldi for anything. Just looking at the companion with jealous eyes, Eldy is looking at him now, Jack said the same thing just now, but his voice could not cover the noise of the tenant farmers, "What do you want to say?"

"Master... can our family not leave?" Jack lowered his head, looking at Eldi expectantly and fearfully, "Can... can we leave in exchange for a full meal?"

Eldy glanced at Jack unexpectedly. Before, he only thought that this man was more courageous than other sharecroppers. Now it seems that he is not only courageous, but also very smart.

These sharecroppers only saw the danger of opening up wasteland in the wild, saw beasts and monsters, but why didn't they see that the church warriors had been protecting them?Mombe is not a vampire, and these fighters are obviously conscientious people, although a little rough.However, Eldi believes that, except for those tenant farmers who ran around, no one should have died under the soldiers' "****", right?

"No, I said I want you to leave, so I will let you go." Aldi shook his head.

Jack suddenly showed an anxious and unwilling expression: "Master, I..."

"But I can re-employ your family, would you?"

Jack suddenly showed joy: "Yes! Yes!"

The tenant farmers looked at Jack with foolish eyes, and Jack's wife and children were also released from the crowd.They were no different from other tenant farmers' wives and children. They stood timidly behind Jack, not daring to look at Eldie.

"Obviously there is a chance to leave, but you are willing to become my tenant farmer again. This is worthy of praise. Take your wife and children to the carriage, and someone will give you a full meal."

Jack was thinking that he would not be able to get a full meal, but at least the whole family would not have to be tied up. Their necks, old and young, had already been bruised and swollen with hemp rope.But I didn't expect not only to have a full meal, but also a carriage?

"Thank you for your kindness! Master!" Jack's family lay on the ground with their foreheads on the ground, saying with infinite joy.

"Jack's family was the first to believe in me and carry out my orders! Starting today, I will still issue different orders! Those who obey and complete my orders will get different rewards! It may be a piece of bread, it may be Loosening the rope around your necks may also give you the freedom to leave!"

After Eldy finished speaking, he immediately turned around and returned to the carriage.

"They can't be good soldiers." Eldi took the white egg and sat next to Leon, "At least most adults can't, children... I will work hard."

"The army is handed over to you, and the internal affairs are handed over to me. We will work together."

"it is good!"

Mombe: "..."

Morifio: "..."

Morifio is on the side with Leon and Eldy, and he is a little... uncertain now.Because these two children are too high-spirited and too sure about the future.Even if Eldi did a good job just now, Leon also said it well, but building a territory is really not just a play, as long as you put the building blocks and dolls on the table, and then let you say what you want .

However, these two children have the capital to play with the population with real territories.So what if it breaks?If it is a large territory that is already prosperous, it is even worse.But what is this Hope Village like?What about the Principality of Gretel itself?

This place is just a pile of mud that smells a little fragrant. When the poor in Dillier City look at those tenant farmers, they will find that they are living in the Kingdom of God. After all, they still have a little money to spare.These sharecroppers can live, marry, and have offspring entirely because the superiors need these humanoid animals to work for them from generation to generation.

Before that, Morifio was still somewhat dissatisfied with bringing their villains to this place last time.Now he has no dissatisfaction at all. The lives of those people have fallen into the abyss. No matter how bad it is, can it be worse than it is now?

Morifio glanced at Mombe, and suddenly he didn't guard against this guy very much, but sympathized a little.After all, they actually came and went to this large play house with their two children, only Mombe, he was the babysitter.

Mombe was watched by Morifio, and couldn't help but move to the side twice.

"Can I come in?" The voice was Hogan, and there was a knock on the carriage door. Their carriage was not fast, and basically an adult could catch up by running a little faster.Hogan is also an awakened person. Although he is a legal system, his physical condition is also very good. Of course, it is no problem to chase a car.

Ah, and a babysitter.Morifio complained in his heart.
