Infrastructure maniacs from the East

No one has any objections, Huck and David have already smiled crookedly, and those who were glad that they were not selected before were both regretful and jealous, regretting why their cattle were not selected.

Xu Tian didn't intend to use this to make a profit, so after everyone went back, he talked with the agricultural officer alone, and asked him to charge the rent for the farmers before the flesh hurts so much that the agricultural officer can decide on the standard. Be sure, of course, you don't have to be polite to those bums and the like.

"But, my lord, your income will be less."

The agricultural officer can be said to be a fairly standard dog leg in this era. The first thing that comes to mind is not that the rent paid by oneself has decreased significantly, but that the interests of the owner have been damaged.

"I'm not short of food, I'm not short of money, but they're not."

Seeing that the agricultural officer wanted to refute, Xu Tian blinked and continued.

"I know you're doing it for my own good."

To persuade the other party, you must first affirm the other party.

"But my country was never like that."

Then throw a new topic to arouse the other party's interest.

"There is a saying in my hometown, 'If you are poor, you will benefit yourself alone; if you are rich, you will benefit the world'".

Xu Tian said this old saying in Chinese, and the agricultural officer naturally didn't understand it, but he couldn't help but stammered and repeated this strange language, the first Chinese he heard.

"Poor...then..."

I don't know why, although it is a language from afar, but somehow it makes him feel a force in it, it is not earth-shattering, but it flows straight into the heart like a trickle, echoing in people's minds repeatedly.

"Being poor cares themselves, being wealthy cares the world."

Xu Tian smiled and said it again at a slower pace, and then patiently explained the meaning to the agricultural officer. The silent knight stood by his side, which gave him a great sense of security.

"The meaning of this sentence is 'when you have no ambitions, you should clean yourself up and cultivate your personal morality, and when you are successful, you can make the world like this'".

The agricultural officer's face became confused again. Xu Tian knew at a glance that he still didn't understand. After thinking about it, he decided to explain again in the simplest and most popular words. There was nothing I could do.

"That is, if you are a poor person, take care of yourself and don't do bad things. If you become a rich person, you should help others so that others will not do evil things like stealing and robbery just because they are poor."

Well, Xu Tian knew that he was not good at translating, but his level was really only at this level, but the agricultural officer's face... Well, very good, I have understood it, let's start the next stage.

"I'm not short of money, and I won't be hungry if I collect a handful of food, but they are poor. If you charge them more food today, they may not be able to survive."

"They're human too."

The agricultural officer has never heard such a statement, his father, he, his father's father, and his father's father's father have never heard of such a statement, because the nobles have never treated the poor as human beings, and climbed to the top The agricultural officer also subconsciously separated the civilians from himself.

This is the first time the agricultural officer has heard this statement in his life. He has always been proud of faithfully fulfilling the orders of the lord, but like his master, he has never seen the bones of all living beings in his eyes, and he has never cared about it in the past Some pictures appeared quickly. The agricultural officer was breathing heavily, but he still felt his neck was strangled by something. He raised his head subconsciously, and met the Lord's eyes.

How could they be human?

The agricultural officer wanted to refute Xu Tian loudly, but he didn't even have the strength to move his lips. He thought he must be bewitched by the devil, and desperately wanted to find evidence to prove that he was right, but his heart became heavier and his throat became more and more heavy. The tighter it is, the illusion that it will be strangled to death in the next moment.

Can't find, can't find, he can't find!

They are obviously not human beings. The father of the agricultural officer, the father of the agricultural officer's father, and the father of the agricultural officer's father all told their offspring this way. They not only proved it with words, but also proved the correctness of this sentence with their actions sex.

But this is not the case.

Farm officials and civilians are born to mothers, they all have to eat, drink water, and have their own joys, sorrows, sorrows, and joys. He has seen the tears of farmers in a severe drought in a certain year, and he has also seen the joy of overharvesting after harvesting too much wheat. Smiling faces, I have seen the most, this kind is the most—the farmer has resentful eyes in despair—he took the farmer's last life-saving food for taxation.

How are they not human?

Aristocrats, poor people, and agricultural officials all have to have children and raise their offspring. They all start from babbling until they die. How can they not be human?

In the end, the agricultural officer still couldn't say anything. The more he wanted to prove Xu Tian was wrong, the more he proved himself wrong. The more he thought, the more painful he was, and the more painful he wanted to find evidence. cycle, but the agricultural officer was unable to break free.

"They're human too."

Xu Tian actually didn't want to remove this fig leaf so early, but he was impulsive, and it was too late when he realized it, but he didn't feel regretful.

He looked at the flush-faced agricultural officer, and repeated softly that the world looked so ugly, but someone helped them put on a gorgeous coat, but there were already rotten maggots all over the bottom, and he didn't want to turn into the same The maggots sucked blood from the bones of the people, so he chose another difficult path.

"Think about it."

This was the last sentence the lord left to the agricultural officer, and then the lord walked out. Xu Tian knew that his black hair and black eyes were not very popular in this world, after all, black usually symbolizes demons here, and he For this world, it is indeed a demon. If no one stops it, he will bring the red ghost and become every noble's nightmare.

Xu Tian walked very smartly, but the agricultural officer stood there for a long time, until the dinner was about to start, he came to the banquet with red and swollen eyes, but he almost sat in the wrong seat in a trance.

I don't know why, Xu Tian's eyes at that time left a deep impression on the agricultural officer. There were things in it that the agricultural officer could not understand. He was eager to know but feared to understand, wanted to explore but subconsciously escaped.

It wasn't until a long time later, when he was gray-haired and full of children and grandchildren, that he finally understood what was in his master's eyes—that was a cry for all living beings, compassion for all living beings.

In fact, the agricultural officer did not believe that Xu Tian was from a foreign country at first, and the religious brainwashing made him think of a devil when he saw Xu Tian for the first time, but what Xu Tian did later proved his identity as a devil. But it confuses the agricultural officer even more, until he hears the story of lies and truth—truth clothed in lies, and lies masquerading as truth.

But these are boring trifles for a long time later, let's turn the time back to the present.

Belt is the knight of Febrina's territory, the iron-clad knight and the lord of the water. No matter whether the lord above changes, it will not affect their interests. After all, wars are raging in this land, and knights usually have many connections. It is not uncommon to change a territory and a different owner, anyway, they will not starve to death wherever they go.

Febrina's original lord was greedy and stupid, but he had enough eyesight and never lost the interests of the knights. When he went to the battlefield, he would prepare rare bread and meat for them, and the goods that fell on the ground would be shared among them. and will set aside the necessary money for the rest of their armor, so these knights have stayed.

But this new lord is really too strange.

This is not just Bert's idea, all the knights, including the servants working in this castle, and even the priests who have lived in seclusion have the same idea, but no one said it in front of the lord, at most they whispered behind his back for a while After all, although Febrina's master is only a baron, he carries the king's order on him (all the texts are drawn up by the Holy See, and the king is only responsible for drawing the cross).

Most importantly, he did not harm the interests of the Cavaliers, which is enough.

Belt thought so, and then looked at Owen at the table, seeing the same meaning in his eyes.

Regardless of whether the lord is crazy or stupid, as long as there is no shortage of money to repair the armor, and the bacon is still large during the war, then the lord can still make them loyal. They will die peacefully at the top, and they can still be buried in the ancestral graves that symbolize nobles after death.

And... It's a bit embarrassing to say, the fundamental reason is that they can't beat the two knights beside the lord at all.

Belt has always been proud of his mighty force. However, Xu Tian's arrival made him understand what it means to be beyond others. The two knights under him are obviously very ordinary, but he has no power to resist. They The moves he used were all he had never seen before, but they were unexpectedly effective. He usually didn't care much about anything, but just stayed by the lord's side. Belter can be sure that as long as these two people don't leave, all the outsiders Attacks are useless.

A message from the butler interrupted Belter's messy thoughts—in order to celebrate the success of Xinliu, the lord decided to hold a small banquet, and everyone who had nothing to do should go.

In fact, it was just that Xu Tian couldn't take it anymore after eating boiled eggs for several days, so he decided to give himself a tooth-beating sacrifice, and then thought of them by the way.

#The truth is always crueler than you imagine#

#Finally know the truth, I shed tears#

No matter what he thought in his heart, Belter finally appeared at the lord's long table ahead of time. Punctuality was the exclusive right of the lord. As soon as he entered the hall, Belter's nose could smell the aroma of food.

This is the smell of barbecue, but it seems to be more fragrant than before. There is also a milky smell in it, but it does not have the smell of ordinary animal milk. It is sweet and soft, like a furry hook that pulls you up. Involuntarily wanting to get closer to it, closer... When Belter came back to his senses, he found that he and Owen had squeezed to the kitchen door, sniffing the smell coming out of it.

There were two fires burning in the kitchen, one on the hearth and the other burning something of which only a dim shadow could be seen.
