Transmigration of the bastard lord

Chapter 16 Farming Isn't Easy, Boy

The ambitious Fu Youguang returned to the room that Ms. Vivienne had cleaned and cleaned for him after dinner, and had a "friendly, cordial, lively, lively" discussion with Sig Frandi for most of the night. It was almost time before I went to bed contentedly.

In the early morning of the second day, the overseer Mark called all the serfs to the square in front of the stone house under the instigation of Ms. Vivienne. He didn't know what he was going to do. He was feeling uneasy, and he saw that there seemed to be some commotion in the yard. , Then the noble lady ran out of the hall in a panic, called one of the soldiers, and ran back into the stone house.

On the second floor of the stone house, in the earl's room.The pastor, Mr. Bingley, had a tangled face—he was called here early in the morning and thought that the devil was going to reap his loyalty, but it turned out to be completely different—the sad-faced Bingley hung his head, unable to move on. Keeping his perfect magic stick style: "I'm sorry, respectable earl... Light magic is never harmful to trauma, but what..."

"I understand, Mr. Bingley, there is no need to apologize." The earl, who was stiff all over on the spread out sofa bed, rolled his dead fish eyes and said weakly, "This kind of muscle soreness caused by excessive fatigue is useless to come to you. En , Ms. Vivienne was too impatient, and I didn't stop her in time."

...I'm actually quite useful.Hearing such comforting words, the pastor, who didn't feel relieved at all, wanted to cry.

The Earl, who is not active in all fours, walked in the mountains and forests for an afternoon with his frail body, and even cooked dinner for more than a dozen people... After one night, he found that his whole body was sore and unable to move. Normal.

Ms. Vivienne, who thought she had made some kind of contract with the devil, seemed to have made up her mind to become the devil's servant.In short, today's Ms. Vivienne, apart from her usual loyalty and competence, is also full of some incomprehensible fanaticism.After Mr. Bingley was dug out from the bed, Steven Simon, who had the title of holy knight in the regiment and squatted in the yard brushing his teeth, was also brought to the earl's room.

The title of knight is different from other professional powerhouses. First of all, there is no knight union among professional unions.Secondly, as the last lord, those who get the title of knight must also get a fief that matches their strength.That is to say, only a great power can make a strong man a professional knight.Taking the empire as an example, there are two forces with this kind of power, one is the royal family, and the other is the Holy See.It is the most traditional knight who has been sealed by the royal family, and has a small fief that guarantees his food and clothing.Those who have been sealed by the Holy See are collectively called Holy Knights.In addition to fiefs, they usually also have quite generous annual tributes.

The combat effectiveness of holy knights is lower than that of conventional traditional knights, but at least those who have practiced in the seminary for more than ten years, in addition to being brave and good at fighting, they also possess a unique holy fighting spirit.This kind of holy grudge is the most terrible natural enemy for dark creatures, but for non-dark creatures blessed by the holy knight, its effect is just the opposite.

It was easy for Fu Youguang to understand the special title of holy knight.Isn't this the milk ride of Yamaguchi Mountain, it can fight and increase...

The disheveled, and to be precise, a bit disrespectful Steven Simon was still wearing a vest, with a toothbrush in one hand and a toothbrush in the other, with disheveled blond hair, and a kind of confusion in his eyes that is typical of people who haven't woken up.However, he did not forget the knight etiquette when he entered the door. He saluted the earl and the pastor in a respectful manner, and Mr. Bingley also returned the salute. Holy knights are giant pandas among professional powerhouses, and they are extremely rare. The internal identity is also quite special.

Fu Youguang, who was lying immobile, squinted his eyes and looked at him for a long time before recognizing him. Isn't this the black-bellied boy?This guy was the second person to try bamboo worms in the three treasures feast in the bamboo forest last night.And Fu Youguang was so impressed with him because of his unintentional boldness and black belly.When the big guy was curious and hesitant about bamboo worms, this guy unobtrusively encouraged Ren, the captain of the corps, to be the touchstone.And this guy's boldness also lies in the fact that when Renn was overjoyed after trying the bamboo worms, he scooped up a whole plate quickly, ruthlessly, and accurately... You must know that bamboo worms are not easy to collect, and their weight is not large. Not so much.

The holy knight who hadn't woken up did not realize until after saluting that this was the earl's room. The confusion on his face disappeared, and it was replaced by a solemn and compassionate expression very quickly. With his integrity without hesitation, his face-changing speed is just like that of a professional actor after filming started...

"It's my honor to be able to solve your troubles, my lord Earl." The majestic face of the magistrate gave people the illusion that he was running for president, and he put the toothbrush and bowl aside without any trace. The guy in the vest insisted on posing as if he was wearing a court gown, and the corners of Fu Youguang's mouth twitched, "Don't worry, this kind of trivial matter will never bother you for too long. Now, please relax your whole body..."

Steven Simon's hands exuded a white, dazzling vindictiveness exuding divine light, and then, this guy stretched out his hands, giving the Earl a full body massage like a masseur.

With just the right amount of strength, coupled with the holy vindictiveness of the healing elixir, the soreness and weakness of the place massaged by Steven's hands gradually subsided.Ordinarily, this is an absolutely honest and problem-free treatment procedure, but the sudden silence of Fu Youguang's soul inside the Earl's body made someone very unbearable...

Sig Frandi obviously noticed something, and screamed like a cat whose tail was stepped on: "Are you thinking of something profane again, you dirty bastard? Your contemptuous peeking is full of curiosity." What means?!"

"...Don't be nervous, I'm just looking at the old... er, past events between you and this guy." Fu Youguang who had entered the state of egg pain said unhurriedly, and his soul unconsciously moved a little farther away from Sieg Son, "...It's really professional discrimination. A third-tier fighter like Renn just salutes and swears allegiance to you, and it's over, and you even held a special oath ceremony for this guy... Damn, this What kind of oath, are you sure none of you should be wearing a skirt or anything? You're still a brother, I've been underestimating you for a long time... Hey, Sig, tell me your ass is not covered by anything What should not be passed through the passage, right?"

"...I'll fight with you!!!" The grief-stricken Earl Sieg Frandy, whose soul seemed to have broken through some kind of shackles, rushed towards Fu Youguang...

After some tossing, the Earl, who was in good spirits again, finally met his first group of subjects: the serfs of this farm.Then, the Earl put his hand on his forehead and turned his head slightly.

"Master? What's wrong with you?" Ms. Vivian asked nervously in a low voice. Ms. Vivian, who regarded herself as a servant of the devil, seemed to be much more proactive.

"...No, um. Ms. Vivienne, I'll add something to your shopping list. Triple the amount of meat you buy. If you have poultry eggs, buy as many as you can. Um... you bring history Tiven, go, bring more money, don't limit the number of things on the list..."

Vivian nodded in response, and Fu Youguang looked at these "people" for the first time, and suddenly felt ashamed.

The farm is called Hein Farm, with one supervisor and more than 200 serfs.Among them, men in the prime of life accounted for [-]%, and the other [-]% consisted of women and children.The reason why there are no old people is that these serfs often do not live to be called old people.Dirty environment, overwork, and insufficient food, it is impossible for the elderly who have lost their strong bodies to survive.

Fu Youguang deeply felt his innocence. Looking at these haggard, numb and tired serfs, who looked like walking corpses, he discovered that his vision for the future, the pursuit of safeguarding the people's rights, and leading them to prosperity The expectations of the road seem so false, big, and empty.

What do these people need most?Struggle for class interests?Fighting for basic human rights?These things may be important, but for now, they are not important.What they need is enough food, clothes that can cover their bodies, and quilts that can keep them warm.Only by meeting these minimum survival needs can they realize their own life value, pursue the respect they deserve as human beings, and the ideals they should have.

If it is a religious practice, they will hypocritically give them bread and clothes, and then tell them that this is a gift from a certain god, asking them to thank a certain god and dedicate everything to a certain god.

Fortunately, Fu Youguang standing here does not represent any religious forces.What he has to do is not only to feed them and keep them warm, but also to make them always be able to eat and keep warm with their own hands.There is no need to thank some nihilistic gods, and there is no need to sacrifice their lives for some forces that do not show their interests.

Standing on a temporary high platform in front of the stone house, Fu Youguang forced himself to silently scan the faces of every serf with the calmest eyes, and his gaze fell on Mark, the overseer who was at the front of the crowd, who was dressed a little neatly: " Your name is Mark, right?"

"Yes, my lord." Mark couldn't figure out who this person was, because the man didn't wear layers of clothes like a gentleman of status.But since that honorable lady was standing beside him, his status would not be low.

"Well, Mark. Who usually prepares food for everyone?"

Mark quickly turned around and called out a series of names, and six healthy-looking women walked out of the crowd, huddled together with their heads bowed obediently.

"Okay, ladies, you will come with me later and prepare today's food for everyone." Fu Youguang said loudly, and jumped off the high platform, and Daniel who was not far away immediately followed him like a ghost, "Mark, you Divide the remaining people into three groups. All the men take tools and clean the entire farm. All dirty things must be cleaned out of the living area. The women count the cows, horses, pigs, chickens and ducks on the farm. , belong to individuals, and Mark will issue copper coins of the same value. Then gather these animals to the stone house."

The serfs still stood there dumbfounded, not quite understanding what this gentleman, who looked like a big man, was saying.And Mark's eyelids twitched, looking at the big money bag that Ms. Vivienne handed over, he forgot to reach out to catch it.

"As for the children. Well, I mean, those under the age of 16." Fu Youguang walked to the side of the high platform and pointed to the hundreds of boxes stacked there, which are used to store grain when harvesting on the farm Yes, it's early spring, and they're all lying idle in the warehouse, and it took Mark a lot of effort to get them out, "One person takes a frame and fills it with manure. Cow manure, pig manure, horse manure, human manure are all OK. After filling a basket, bring it to the designated place, and each basket can be exchanged for 2 copper coins."

The lifeless serfs finally broke out.Collecting feces can be exchanged for money?A basket of 2 copper coins? !The adults who were assigned the task of cleaning and counting livestock immediately turned their attention to the children, their eyes full of envy.

"After the whole living area is swept and the livestock counted, other people are also involved in collecting the manure. The source is not limited to the farm. I will dig a row of large pits on the south side of the village and until these pits are filled, I will buy them indefinitely. stool."

Fu Youguang added another sentence, and this time, the eyes of all the serfs shone brightly, and the dead air pervading the crowd was alarmed.

"Mark, you have to do a good job of collecting the feces. Don't worry about the money." Fu Youguang looked at the overseer Mark who was holding a big money bag at a loss, and smiled encouragingly.This Mark looks a bit philistine, but obviously he won't be a bad guy.At the very least, he, who was in charge of collecting the harvest of the entire farm and handing over [-]% of it, did not live a rich life himself.You must know that although the output of this farm can make any Chinese farmer cry, in this world, such a farm can still provide a so-called "elegant" life for a middle-class family with a lower family background.

The earl is not short of money, but the difficulty is that he can collect so many copper coins.To put it simply, when leaving the castle, Fu Youguang brought all the "change" he could bring in the castle, plus a lot of gold coins, and packed a large heavy box... Who said we are not short of money? !

When the serfs couldn't help whispering about the incredible thing that excrement can be exchanged for money, Fu Youguang was pointing his finger in the earl's body and asking the real earl for advice: "How many such a basket should be?" Ten catties, right? Two copper coins, isn't it too harsh?"

That is to say, when being asked for advice, Sieg Frandi can maintain his little dignity.The Earl of the body version snorted with utmost contempt: "The black bread bought by two copper coins is enough for a pariah to have a full meal. Moreover, if you want to collect so many dirty things, if the price is set high, you must be a profit-seeking businessman." Will you ignore these things that can be exchanged for money? Will you let the untouchables occupy this market?"

"Besides, don't forget about your identity as a serf. If a serf can earn more than a freeman by doing some dirty things, in this early spring when the crops are starved, the freeman who is also half-starved and half-fed will not Continue to be hungry. Since the pursuit of harmonious and stable development is your goal, don't let those ignorant things have a chance to stir up trouble."

"Simply put, exchanging dirty things for copper coins that are just enough to fill their stomachs is the greatest protection for the rights and interests of these untouchables." Lord Sig Frandi made such an attributive statement with a lofty attitude of Yunyun's contempt for ordinary people.

Fu Youguang was a little upset, but now is not the time to be fussy about this second illness.The serfs were generally weak, and Fu Youguang dared not let them do heavy work unless they were raised for a period of time.Turning around and aiming at the twelve regiment soldiers guarding him, the Earl rolled his eyes and touched his chin.

Well...one third-tier fighter, one third-tier fighter, three second-tier walkers, two second-tier fighters, four second-tier fighters...Excluding the holy knight Steven Simon, the other guys are all red and muscular, and they are more suitable than those serfs who will fall when the wind blows.
