In the days of rebirth as a lord

Chapter 68 Chapter Family

After getting into the carriage and sitting alone in the carriage, Cecil suddenly remembered something—he could have exchanged merit points and the system for the antidote last night!

After searching in the system mall, I didn't expect that there was really something for the antidote, but after looking at the price, Cecil decisively closed the mall interface.Forget it, anyway, the person with him yesterday was Mu Ziyu, who was young and handsome, and his movements were gentle, and he was very happy during that process... If time goes back, he will even know that there is a solution in the mall Medicine, I guess she would prefer Mu Ziyu to help her instead of consuming a lot of merit points.

On the way back, unexpectedly, Baron Price chased him halfway.

"Your Highness, why did you leave so soon? Don't you stay in Sauter City for a few more days? I still want to communicate with Your Highness more."

Cecil replied to him: "Don't worry, there will be opportunities in the future."

When your territory is laid down and you become a captive.Cecil thought.

And Baron Price continued to say: "Did Your Highness rest well after leaving the banquet yesterday? I heard that you didn't even look down on the beautiful maid who poured you wine. I don't know who was lucky enough to serve you in the end ?” Speaking of this, Cecil was embarrassed and a little depressed.He still doesn't know what kind of relationship he should continue to get along with Mu Ziyu.

Master and servant?No, he has never treated Mu Ziyu as a servant.

friend?Is there a friend who sleeps in a bed and hits a home run?

spouse?Thinking of this word, Cecil couldn't help but feel a little hot on his cheeks. It's too fast to go straight to this point!

But when answering Baron Price, Cecil didn't tell him that much, and said perfunctorily: "I didn't ask someone to serve, just sleep and wake up."

However, Baron Pulis said directly: "Your Highness is joking, the medicine added to the wine can only be relieved after being lingering with someone."

The other party lowered his voice and continued to explain: "It is said that this medicine comes from a secret recipe of a witch doctor. While making men more brave and women more charming, it will not harm the body. Your Excellency, can you take this medicine? It is well hidden, and will not be given to anyone who asks for it, and will only be shared at the banquet after the harvest season every year, which is why everyone is willing to travel so far to attend the banquet every year."

The witch doctor's secret recipe?The Duke of Morton secretly raised a witch doctor?Then he gets along so well with the Sect of the Light... Cecil thought, it seems that the Duke of Morton and the Sect of the Light are also at odds with each other, and they rely on their interests to maintain a cordial relationship.

Pulis saw and said so much, Cecil was indifferent, and his heart became more and more anxious.After all, he is His Royal Highness, even if the current situation is a little bit down, he is still a very noble person. If he can get such a beauty... Baron Price followed Cecil's team along the way, trying to find an opportunity to get close to Cecil.It's a pity that the guards are not vegetarian, so he has no chance to get too close to Cecil. Even if he wants to say a few words, he basically says a few words through the curtain of the carriage when he is on the road, and the answer he gets is still It's all perfunctory.

On the last day, when he was approaching the territory of Baron Puliss, Baron Puliss finally couldn't help expressing his thoughts: "Your Highness, although I don't know who you spent the night with at the banquet, but you must have I have experienced the beauty and joy of that kind of thing. I know that there are no good-looking beauties in Otto Village, but there are several handsome servants and beautiful maids in my castle.....I don't mind sharing the beauties with Your Highness , It’s just that I admire Your Highness very much, if Your Highness is bored, you are welcome to come to my castle as a guest.”

Cecil understood the meaning of the words, but felt disgusted and bored, are these nobles so careless?He also shared that Cecil is a serious person!

"Baron Pulis, I know that your territory is very rich now, but if I remember correctly, I am the great lord of Galeata State. I will not say that there was no great lord here before. Are you little nobles now? Should tax be paid to the great lord every year? Now that the harvest season has passed, grains from all over the country have been put into warehouses, when will the taxed grains be delivered to Ott Village?" Baron Price's face changed when he heard this. , and no longer thought about those romances, but frowned and said: "Galeata has never paid taxes to the upper-level lords. The king has pity on the barren land here, and has never said anything..." "It's relatively poor." Cecil interrupted Baron Priss and said, "The Ott village where I am now is the most barren village, right? The area of ​​cultivated land is also small, far inferior to the baron. Your territory is broad and fertile. But since it is the first time to collect taxes, let’s calculate according to the harvest of Aote Village. The two villages under your name should pay more than [-] catties in taxes this year. Let’s count as [-] catties. You can see the tax and food delivered to Ott Village before the snow season."

"Jin?" Except for Aote Village, there is no unified weight and measure in other places.

Cecil explained to him: "A catty is about the weight of a clay bowl of flour."

Baron Price was speechless, and stood at the intersection where Cecil and his party went away, his face livid.

Mu Ziyu asked Cecil: "Your Highness, will he pay taxes?" "Of course not." Cecil said with certainty, "Ten thousand catties of grain is not a small amount. No matter how fertile the land in his two villages, It is definitely not as much corn as our village. In addition, in order to please the Duke of Morton, he must give some of it to the Duke of Morton. People will starve to death during the snow season, and they won’t be able to wait for next year’s grain harvest.”

After a pause, Cecil said with a smile: "However, aren't we just trying to prevent him from paying so much taxes? In this way, we have enough reasons to attack his castle and seize his land. "

Mu Ziyu didn't say anything more. Seeing Cecil's eyes rolling and calculating, he felt that His Highness was like a smart and cute little fox, which made him feel very itchy and wanted to hug His Highness directly. Just put it in your arms.

On the other side, the servant next to Baron Price asked cautiously: "My lord, does our village really have to pay His Royal Highness a tax of [-] catties of grain?" Baron Price snorted coldly: "What tax? The Duke? Let’s not talk about it, does this little highness also want to exploit me? Just ignore him.”

After a pause, he added: "Of course, if the prince comes to visit my castle, you are still welcome."

After all, His Royal Highness is really beautiful, but it's a pity that the other party went back to the room early at the previous banquet, otherwise he might have a chance to get what he wanted.

Cecil, who returned to Ott Village, received a warm welcome. The old butler Conrad was so excited that he burst into tears, and kept telling how much he missed his master after Cecil left.He said it so sincerely that Cecil almost wondered whether he had been away for more than ten days or more than ten years.

Even Nora, the housekeeper, was happy from the bottom of her heart when she saw Cecil come back.She knew very well that no matter how well she and Conrad managed the castle and the village, all of this was based on the premise that Cecil was the owner of this land, otherwise any nobleman could let her and Conrad manage the castle and the village. Ladd lost everything he had now.

After returning to the village, Cecil started to deal with the affairs of the village and develop various constructions of the village.And Mu Ziyu is also more busy, he is preparing for the war that is likely to be launched in the near future.

"In fact, there are craftsmen in our village who know how to forge iron, but it's a pity that there is no iron ore of sufficient purity. Otherwise, if we replace wooden spearheads and arrowheads with metal ones, the combat effectiveness of the patrol army will increase a lot," He Cecil reported. When the situation happened, Mu Ziyu said regretfully.

"No way, the only iron mine in the entire Galiata state is under the control of the Duke of Morton, and we don't have the strength to snatch it yet." Cecil has nothing to do about it.

Although he could exchange merit points for iron ore, but merit points are rare, such an exchange is simply not worthwhile.

Conrad and Nora were there when the two talked about it.

"Your Highness, can't you buy it with other merchants?" Conrad asked.

Now that Aote Village has a way to make money, Conrad is also more generous, at least he will take the initiative to take the money out to buy some things needed in the village construction process, unlike before, I wish Yuanyi they would exchange yeast powder and paper Everything you need to go back to the village, don't touch a single gold coin, like a miser.

This question does not need Cecil to answer, Nora is very clear: "Our caravan has never given up on exchanging or buying some ore, but they can't buy it at all. All the nobles who have mastered the iron ore are very strict with the ore management. It will not be traded."

"Think about whether there is any other way to improve the existing weapons and equipment." Cecil said with some distress.

He didn't notice that Nora hesitated to speak when she heard this.

Probably also went through a very complicated psychological journey. A few days later, Nora finally confessed to Cecil that she was not the maid of some countess, she was the countess who had awakened the witch power.

Unexpectedly, after she said this, Cecil was not surprised.

"I have guessed it before. After all, no matter how smart a maid is, even if she can learn to read and write, she will not be able to learn a noble demeanor that is neither humble nor overbearing." Cecil said.

Nora's behavior has never been as if she was born as a slave, so Cecil has long guessed that she is the countess lady in that story, not just a maid who accompanied her.

It's just that Nora didn't want to reveal her identity, she would rather live as a maid, and Cecil didn't want to expose her.Although there is a person with magical power by his side, the other party is unwilling to use this power to build the village, which makes Cecil feel a little pity, but Nora herself is also extremely talented. Syl is a worthy assistant.
