Grasp the farming script in the famous book

Athos returned to his domain, he knew no one else, and no one knew him.

This is partly due to the fact that many foreigners have come to his territory in the past two years to make a living.With the completion of the textile center and the spice center, and the rise of the pilgrimage road, the demand for population in the entire territory is too great-many people come to the pilgrimage with their families and eventually stay.

Outsiders have not even heard of a male master in this land.

But even the locals who were born and bred in the territory did not recognize Athos.

This is because when Athos was an earl in the past, he rode horses, hunted, and played all day... His actions were meaningless to the well-being of the people in the territory.People only know that there is a lord in this territory, but who is the lord, what does he look like, and what has it to do with them?

On the contrary, after the earl left, the lord's wife took over the duties of the lord, which brought about earth-shaking changes in this territory.She also often takes a lot of people to patrol the towns in the territory. Many ordinary people in the territory have seen her, and they all praise her beauty and kindness.

Even if Athos returned to his territory, there was no one to entertain him and provide him with food, drink and lodging.In desperation, Athos could only continue to hold the small wooden sign with shells painted on it, and together with the pious believers who came to the pilgrimage, they ate, drank, lived, and headed to Tianshui Town.

Athos looked while walking: Although this is his hometown, the changes here are too great.

All the roads have been rebuilt as they had been seen by Athos when he first entered the territory.Between the town and the town, rely on such a road extending in all directions to exchange agricultural products, raw materials and textile products.

In addition to land routes, there are also water routes under construction.

Athos had never heard of it before, and there were still navigable rivers in his territory.

Unexpectedly, after passing through two towns, Athos saw the pier.

There are one barge after another on the canal, and the boats almost fill the entire river, but they are orderly and go their own way.

Athos asked a boatman working on the pier, and found out that this canal was hard-won. One of the two upstream tributaries was forcibly diverted and merged to have enough water, and the canal was built like this A canal that can be used for water transport.

After hearing what the boatman said, Athos was dumbfounded.He felt like he was dreaming.

When he returned to the town, it was more like a dream—the originally low and gloomy stone houses in the center of the town had turned into neat rows of two-story buildings.

Most of the people living in these small buildings are weavers, and the sound of looms working seems to be echoing throughout the town, with the uniform "咵啦" and "咵啦". There is also a shuttle flying back and forth with this noise.

Is this still a town on his territory?

When he left the territory, he also heard that the rise of the northern textile center had a very negative impact on these towns.Many weavers have already planned to give up weaving and make other livelihoods.

But how long has he been away, and the town has been revitalized by the textile industry?

Athos knew the answer was in Sweetwater, in his wife who did not know whether it was true or not, living or dead.So he continued to use the various conveniences of the "Pilgrimage Road" to rush to Tianshui Town.

Along the way, he felt that the food in each hotel was getting better and better, it was so good.All the pilgrims in the hotel were unanimous and praised: "Thank God!"

"After meeting the saint in the future, we have to work hard!"

"Yes, I heard that you can eat such good food when you are working, and you can eat as much as you want, as long as you are full!"

When the pilgrims thought of such a scene, they all showed excitement, and their knives and forks sped up to scrape the food on the plate.

Athos had lived in Paris for a long time, had seen some of the market, and knew very well that the food ingredients here were very common.It is because of the blessing of various spices that the most common ingredients are cooked into a delicacy that even fashionable Parisians may not be able to enjoy.

"This place is called the Spice Center, and it really lives up to its reputation!"

Athos thought to himself: Could it be that woman who destroyed most of the crops and made the farmers in the territory grow spices instead?So if there is a famine year, what will everyone eat when the grain production is reduced?

……

His mental journey back to his hometown was basically like this. Every time he saw something, he felt extremely fresh, but after feeling fresh, he began to complain again, thinking that this was wrong and that was wrong.

But he couldn't deny that that woman, that woman whom the entire territory was praising... was really too powerful to be able to do all of this.

At last Athos arrived at Sweetwater, the end of the pilgrimage.

He looked far away at the tallest building in the center of town: the church bell tower.The clock tower is still the tallest building in town—that hasn't changed.

Everything else had changed. If someone hadn't told Athos that this was Sweetwater Town, he would have been completely unrecognizable by himself.

The town's low stone houses had all been replaced by the kind he'd seen in other towns.The square in the center of the town seems to be much larger. Before entering the square, you need to line up. Many people are maintaining order, gathering all the "pilgrims" who enter the town, and let them stand together in an orderly manner, waiting to see "Heather Li Fu" moment.

In addition to those who maintain order, some other people are recycling the small wooden signs with shells painted on them. According to the marks on the wooden signs, they distribute papers marked with different numbers to the pilgrims.

"After the 'pilgrimage' is over, please take this to the Engineering Agency to report. There will be someone assigned to your work for the next few days."

Dare to feel that this is what the hotel owner said that day, using work to repay the free food, drink and accommodation along the way.

Athos, however, heard the excitement of the pilgrims around him.

"It's great, I can stay in Tianshui Town for a few more days, and live closer to the saint. I'm happy to do any work."

"I heard that working here is hard work, but there are special people to take care of food, drink and housing, which is more comfortable than home."

"Who can help me to see, what is the number written on it, and how many days can I work here?"

Immediately, someone who could read helped him to read.

Athos thought to himself: This is probably according to how far the pilgrims have traveled, they are arranged for how many days of work they do to compensate for the various expenses along the way.

That's pretty smart.

But he, Athos, was not here for pilgrimage, much less for work.

"Sir, please abide by the pilgrimage order and return to the team."

A staff member who maintained order saw Athos walking out of the pilgrim line without anyone else, and immediately stepped forward to persuade him politely.

Athos didn't care at all: "I didn't come here for a pilgrimage..."

He just wanted to say: I am the master here.

But I heard the pilgrims who came here with him behind him shouting: "No, he is like us, holding a 'shell', eating and drinking all the way to Tianshui Town."

"I've already arrived here, but I said that I'm not here for a pilgrimage. This is obviously cheating food and drink."

"God, there are really such shameless people in the world..."

Athos was very speechless: He is the lord of this land, and everyone in the land should serve him unconditionally. Isn't it right to eat and drink?

But the problem is that no one here knows that Athos is the local lord, Count de Raphael.

In Sweetwater Town, the mayor with whom Athos is most familiar is at the moment with his hands behind his back, pacing triumphantly in the distant square, allowing these "staff" to help him maintain the "pilgrimage" order in Sweetwater Town.

For a while, the pilgrims were cursing, while the staff responsible for maintaining order were anxious to pick Athos out of the crowd.

Athos flung back his cloak suddenly, revealing a gun from his waist.Along the way, although Athos was struggling, he managed to protect his weapon well.

"Who dares to touch me? I am the king's gunner!"

The pilgrims who came from all directions saw him wearing a powerful weapon, and immediately backed away in a hurry.

The staff member was not afraid at all, and suddenly pulled out a jar from his waist, and pressed it on Athos' face, making a "sizzling" sound.

Athos suddenly felt his whole face was hot, tears and sneezing kept coming, and he couldn't see anything in front of him.

He waved his hands, trying to lessen the stinging sensation in his eyes and nose and mouth.At this moment, there was a light on his waist - the firecracker had been gently and deftly removed.

It's over! —thought Athos.

He is now a lamb at the mercy of others.

Without weapons, these people went back and killed him secretly, and no one in the world knew about it-this made his entire territory cheap for his wife.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, a person yelled in Athos' ear: "Oh, my lord, you are finally back!"

——It’s the mayor, the mayor of Sweetwater Town.

Athos thanked God in his heart.

"I'll send someone to send a letter to the countess. She must be very happy to know you're back!" The mayor turned around and ran away.

Athos: ...

The mayor is his man, he was the confidant he single-handedly promoted at the beginning, why now, he has all fallen for the Countess?

When Athos was sprayed with pepper water in the town of Sweetwater, Roland was looking for someone near Lille, a small city on the border with Belgium, in the northern part of France.

She walked towards the most gloomy end of the city.As she walked, she became more and more hesitant. It happened that she saw a little beggar passing by. Roland quickly stopped him, handed him a silver coin, and asked him to take him to that destination.

The little beggar shuddered when she heard her address, but looking at Roland's extremely beautiful face, the young child directly put the silver coins back into her hand, then took her hand, and went deep into the alley together. go.

When he reached the end of the street, the little boy didn't dare to go any further. He just pointed to a simple and lonely hut in the distance with his dirty little hand.

Roland nodded, and the boy ran away immediately. After running a long way, he turned around and shouted: "Be careful!"

Roland smiled, and she began to look at the room in front of her.

This house, except for the door being painted red, seems to be no different from the residence of ordinary residents.

Roland hesitated at the door for a while, wondering if he should just knock on the door and enter.

Unexpectedly, a "creak" sounded suddenly.The red door opened automatically, and out came a tall, thin man wearing a red cloak.

He was a little surprised at first, after all, no one in the whole city dared to come directly to find someone.Not to mention it's a woman.

But once he saw Roland's face clearly, the tall and thin man suddenly showed a ferocious expression, and said through gritted teeth, "You still have the face to see me, Charlotte Beckson!"

Roland was not afraid at all, Shi Shiran turned around and said, "Come on, I'll take you to see your brother, Floren."

The author has something to say: Charlotte Beckson is Milady's earliest vest, and she has used many names, which will be mentioned in the following articles.The image of this red cloak is mainly from the original Chapter 64 "The Man in the Red Cloak".
