In the days of rebirth as a lord

At this moment, Cecil wanted to keep Pickle out of the castle, but because he was not sure whether this person had committed a life lawsuit, Cecil finally gave up.After all, if Pickle has not committed any heinous mistakes, then he is not guilty of death.In all his past and present lives, Cecil has never killed a chicken, and he is not a bloodthirsty person. He will not easily decide the life and death of others because of his own likes and dislikes.

When Pickle came, he didn't pay much attention to the young new lord. After all, most of the nobles didn't know anything about the field, as was the case with the Baron's family before.Who knew that when he left, his clothes were drenched in cold sweat, and he even lost his job as a farm officer!

When His Highness asked him to leave, Pikel had faintly sensed the other party's killing intent, so he didn't dare to say anything, and ran out of the castle.It turns out that a nobleman is a nobleman, and as a commoner, he can only do his best when his master is not around. Now that his master is here, trying to crush him to death is like crushing an ant.

But, is that really the case?

By the time Pickle left the castle in a trance, half a day had passed.Cecil didn't take a good look at the castle yesterday because of his exhaustion and his leg injury. He had a rest today and his leg injury was much better. Naturally, he wanted to take a good look at his new home.

The main thing is to look at the warehouse and see how much belongings you have.

Not surprisingly, there were only those things brought in yesterday in the warehouse, and all the things left by the previous owner of the castle were gone.Cecil sneered in his heart, probably those things were taken by Pickle, but he will get them all back sooner or later!

After dismissing the others, Cecil put the novice gift pack in the system backpack into the warehouse.Open the big wooden box, and there is actually a box full of yellow-orange-orange corn seeds!

The main food crops today are wheat, buckwheat and several types of beans.In addition to the good yield of beans, both wheat and buckwheat can harvest six or seven seeds after planting one seed, and the yield is extremely low.Compared with corn, it is a god crop. One seed can grow two or three corn cobs, and one corn cob is a handful of corn kernels!If all these seeds are planted, the castle's granary will be filled when harvested, and no one will be hungry in Otto Village next year!

Cecil suppressed his excitement, closed the warehouse door and left.After all, no matter how anxious you are, you still have to wait for the next year's plowing season to sow these precious corn seeds, and they will have to stay in the warehouse for a whole snow season.Wait until the snow season is over, and then exchange merit points and the system for the best corn planting method. Anyway, I just got more than 1000 merit points, what a shame!

The things in the system backpack can’t be put back after being taken out. Fortunately, the warehouse is relatively safe. Now only he and Conrad have the keys. Even for daily cleaning, Conrad will keep an eye on people after sweeping and then lock it. Those who came to leave were afraid that the slave with dirty hands and feet would steal Cecil's property.

As for how to explain the source of these corn seeds in the future?Cecil said that he is the lord, and he didn't want to say it. Is there anyone else in this village of Otto who can force him to fail!At that time, you only need to put on an inscrutable look, and let others guess the rest.

Because when he took over the castle, there was no surplus food in the granary, and the food Cecil brought could not last until the next year's grain harvest, so Cecil would have to buy food from other places.

It is not difficult to buy food.Fine grains such as flour may not be easy to buy because they are exclusively for nobles, but coarse grains such as miscellaneous bean flour and wheat bran flour are still easy to buy, but Cecil needs a relatively large amount of money. many.

Cecil was a little worried about this, and asked Conrad to discuss: "We sold all the gold and silver tableware and utensils we brought, and exchanged them for food. What do you think?"

Conrad naturally disagreed with 1 people: "Your Highness! As a noble prince, you must use gold dinner plates, silver knives and forks! And those gold candlesticks... those are all It is a symbol of your identity!"

"Aren't I not a prince without those things? There is too much food shortage in the castle now, let's just talk about the knights, at least the black bread should make them full? Otherwise, how can we ask them to guard the castle loyally. If there is me The Han patrolling soldiers who are going to support, if they don’t have black bread, let them drink enough to drink? Otherwise, where did they get the physical training, how can they withstand the increasingly cold weather in Outer Man? There are other servants, slaves and even The original serfs in Aote village, if they starve to death in this snow season, who will work for me next year?"

Gold and silver tableware is gone, pottery plates and wooden spoons and forks will not be able to eat?If it wasn't for fear of scaring others, he could replace a knife and fork by cutting a pair of chopsticks himself.Besides, the current level of metal smelting is just there. If those gold and silver tableware are used too much, it may not be healthy or unhealthy. He still prefers porcelain tableware.

There is no porcelain in this world yet, and Cecil feels that he has discovered another business opportunity.It doesn't matter if he doesn't know how to make porcelain, the department must know.

Conrad was somewhat persuaded: "That's enough to sell a few pieces. Those serfs can't do much work in the snow season, so just eat less and starve to death. As for the servants in the castle, they already live in such a warm castle. It’s here, it doesn’t matter if you eat less…”

Cecil insisted on his plan: "Even if the slaves don't starve to death, what's the difference between starving and being sick? They can't work either. As for the servants, they are always hungry, so they can't work. Positive. It is better to let most of them have enough to eat, and only lazy people will punish him to starve, so that no one dares to be lazy."

Conrad compromised: "Well, Your Highness, you are good in everything, but you are too kind..."

This business was done by an acquaintance - the former slave trader Bruce.As a slave trader, he knew many minor nobles. After all, only nobles could afford gold and silver utensils and have enough surplus food.But this time, Bruce will not make less money. His Royal Highness not only rewarded him with a golden wine glass as labor fee, but also promised to give him [-]% of the food no matter how much food he got in exchange. For this reason, Bruce will definitely do his best. Try to get more food for His Highness!

Of course, Cecil also sent five servants to follow Bruqi, and the gold and silver utensils handed over to Bruqi were not a small amount.

The five people sent to follow Bruqi were not just for monitoring.Among the five of them, one is a knight, two are servants from the capital, and two are Han people.One Han nationality was in the guards, and the other was an old man who was not selected for the patrols.The only thing these five people have in common is that they all have a little calculation ability.
