Turn into Earl Lolita

After hearing what his subordinates said, Theodos did not whisper excitedly like the others, but leaned his upper body on the back of the chair, showing a smile that really did.

"My lord, I don't think this is the only way to completely solve Aalborg. My subordinates have another strategy that can quickly solve Aalborg's serious trouble."

The sharp-mouthed monkey-cheeked man usually has no sense of presence at all, but at this time he walked out of the crowd and came to Theodos.

"Although Aalborg's army is strong now, it also has a very fatal flaw, that is, the lord of Aalborg does not have strong enough guards."

As soon as the words came out, Theodos' eyes burst into light instantly, "You mean that you want me to send an assassin to assassinate the lord of Aalborg."

"That's right, Aalborg's generals are basically outside now, and the former lord of Aalborg has already lost all of his few talents when he suppressed the bandits. One man, one sword can solve Aalborg's problems."

Leaning forward, Theodos cast his eyes on the man, waiting for his words.And this subordinate did not live up to the expectations of his lord.Then he slowly revealed the assassination plan he had planned.

"Okay, let's do it like this. I'll pay for it, and you arrange it. Find the right person to execute it as soon as possible."

"My lord, please don't worry, even if someone finds out, it will never be found out that we were involved."

A sinister smile emerged on the man's face. As for other nobles, they are not surprised by such things. Nobles, at certain times, are unscrupulous when dealing with enemies.If the heart is not dark and the hands are not ruthless, how can they gain a firm foothold in this chaotic northern border.

Here we are discussing how to assassinate, and as the target of the assassination, it is not easy at this time, because a lot of documents are piled up in front of her because of the expedition.

Shirley knew about the lack of management talents in the castle, but what she didn't know was that, when she was away for a few days, there would be so many documents piled up in the entire castle and territory.

"Hmm...why so many documents. Even the signing hands are exhausted."

"Miss, you are still suffering. Those clerks who wrote the solution under the document are going to be exhausted..."

"Shut up, Phoenix, which side are you on? Also, can't you draw cards? Why can't I draw a Zhuge Kongming? With that great god here, I can just let myself go."

Speaking of drawing cards, Sydney suddenly remembered that because of the reason for the expedition, she seemed to have two chances to draw cards and did not use them. This time, can she take the time to draw a card? In case a minister of the interior is drawn, Zhuge Liang put it aside first, even if it is Xiao He and Xun Yu are also fine.

"Miss, please take a bath and take a good night's sleep. There is everything in your dream."

The fist was hardened, Shirley said that if Phoenix was not in her mind, she would have given him a slide shovel.However, before she could speak, the door of the study was pushed open anxiously.

With worries that were different from her usual calmness, Fuya walked into the study, looked at Xueli who was still working hard, hesitated to speak, and finally couldn't help but said: "Miss, you were on your own farmland before. All the potatoes planted, nothing harvested, and now the serfs are all gathered together..."

"Huh? They rebelled?"

Black line, Fuya shouldn't complain about her young lady's big heart at this time, what time is this, and she was joking, the serfs rebelled, I'm afraid she thinks her life is too long.

"Miss, those serfs are now desperate and have no harvest. Let alone winter, they can't survive even now. You need to arrange it as soon as possible."

Although the serfs were not counted as population, they were their own property after all, and if most of them were to starve to death, they would feel distressed.

"It shouldn't be, forget it, I'll go and see for myself."

It wasn't too far away from her own cultivated land, and Xue Li soon brought Fuya there together, where she also saw Antrus who had arrived earlier.

"I heard you clearly. The lord is a kind person. It is impossible for you to starve to death. Just stay here and I will give you food later."

There was no politeness at all, and the cold tone seemed to be facing a group of objects.

"Miss, why do you need to make a special trip for this kind of thing?"

Antruth on the high platform saw Shirley coming in a hurry at a glance, and hurried up. Although he was a little dissatisfied with his own lady's waywardness, after all, the matter had already happened, and he didn't need to hold on to it.

But Shirley didn't intend to just let this matter go. It would be fine if there were other plants. After all, the soil is different, and the soil quality is different, and some effects can be forgiven, but those are potatoes.The requirements for the soil are not too high.How could there be such a thing as a failure.

"Miss, what happened here has already happened. As you can see, although it is lush green, there are no fruits on it. Although the harvest is abysmal, but fortunately, we have obtained a lot of supplies before, so we can..."

"You guys, dig up the ground for me, and then pull out the stems and leaves on the ground from the ground."

"Miss, this has already been harvested, there is no need to do this, these stems and leaves are returned to us as food for livestock..."

"No, those stems and leaves are poisonous, and you can't eat them at will. Only the potatoes underneath are edible. Oh, don't be in a daze, quickly dig the soil and look inside."

Antruth, who was stunned and didn't know how to pick it up, watched some serfs who reacted quickly take out tools from their homes and began to dig the soil. A few times, just a few times, a lot of chubby lumps were dug out of the soil. little things.

"It's coming out, it's them, quickly pull them out for me."

Immediately, a large bunch of potatoes was pulled out from the soil. The large bunch of fruits not only made the surrounding serfs exclaim in surprise, but also made Antrus rub his eyes and couldn't help but let out an unbelievable expression. sound.

"Miss... those... can you eat them all?"

"Almost, it can be cooked or used as a staple food, but it needs to be stored well, preferably in a cool and ventilated place. And it's best not to eat potatoes that have sprouted. They are poisonous."

Are these still the key points? As long as they don’t germinate after sprouting, that’s all. Looking at the serf who was so excited and dancing, he couldn’t help shouting.

"Hurry up and bring Ping, let's see how much yield this mu of land can produce. Hurry up."

Earl Lolita: Chapter 20 Harvest (two chapters co-published)

Thousands of catties of potatoes were harvested from one mu of cultivated land, and he already knew from the mouths of these serfs how many seeds were used in one mu of land when planting potatoes, but it was only tens of catties, and the most used was more than a hundred. Only a catty.

But what he harvested was thousands of catties. What kind of yield per mu is this, and what surprised him the most was that the young lady’s arable land was not all flat and good land, but also some other not very good arable land. With such a yield per mu, how could there be famines and food shortages in the future.

"Sister Fuya, Lord Andrew will be fine."

Although he was very confident about the yield of potatoes, he was also shocked by the yield of potatoes at this time. However, he was more worried about Antruth. After all, from the very beginning, he showed a different excitement from the past.

Fuya, who had been standing with Shirley all along, naturally saw the results of the weighing, and she couldn't help but open her mouth when considering the yield per mu of several thousand catties.But after hearing Shirley's words, she still reacted immediately.

"Don't worry about Lord Antruth, he is just poor and scared, and he behaved like this when he suddenly saw so much food, don't worry."

Forehead?I was so scared, why I always felt like I had known each other before, but before she could recall carefully, she saw Antruth running towards her excitedly.

"Miss, miss, this mu yield, this potato, God, where did you get the seeds, are there any extra seeds, should we keep those stems and leaves, pull out the seeds and wait later Continue farming?"

"Huh? Didn't those farmers tell you that they used to cut potatoes into such big pieces before throwing them into the soil for planting. There were no seeds at all."

While talking, he gestured to cut a small piece of a potato, but it also made Antruth let out a cry of surprise.

"It's great that potatoes can be planted. As long as there are so many potatoes left, we will have enough seeds."

Shirley has said before that these potatoes can be used as a staple food or as a vegetable for cooking. If it is true what the lord said, then there will be no famine in Aalborg in the future.

Not long after, someone brought up steamed and baked potatoes according to the cooking method Shirley said, along with a bowl of soup made from potatoes.

When Shirley signaled that everyone could do something, Antruth made a decisive move, holding a steamed potato in one hand and a baked potato in the other.As for the bowl of thick soup, of course a serf brought it for him.

As for Shirley, it's not that troublesome. Fuya quickly peeled the steamed and baked potatoes, and cut them into several small pieces with a dagger. in the mouth.

"Huhe, delicious, delicious, miss, the taste of this potato soup is really good, and this potato is the staple food, and the taste is not worse than the previous rye."

"Don't eat it, why do you keep steaming? You have to keep seeds, so don't steam them all for me."

He ate the remaining steamed potatoes in one bite, and watched some serfs pick up a few more sized potatoes, ready to put them in the pot for steaming, but Antrus stopped him.

These are the seeds of the future, how can they be easily eaten.Shouldn't all of this be left as a seed?

Seeing those serfs being in a dilemma by what Antruth said, Shirley couldn't help but burst out laughing.Then he said.

"Go ahead. It was agreed at the beginning that planting potatoes will be distributed according to the ratio of seven to three. You deserve what you eat."

She waved her hands at the farmers who were hesitant because of Antrus's words, but she didn't expect her words to cause Antrus to exclaim again.

"Seven to three? Miss, how can you give these serfs such a high ratio of food? According to the previous ratio, you can give them one."

After hearing what Antrus said, Shirley called her a good guy in her heart. She thought that giving these serfs [-]% of the harvest was enough evil, but unexpectedly, Antrus was even more cruel and only gave those peasants [-]% of the harvest.

"Miss, you don't have to be so soft-hearted, just give them [-]% and it will be enough for them serfs to eat." The harvest of thousands of catties is more than what was given to them before.Just some serfs.Whether they can eat or not.

Antruth was good everywhere, but he had a big disagreement with her on the issue of serfs. It wasn't just him, Fuya also had a disagreement with her on this aspect.

Looking not far away, there was a little girl who was waiting pitifully for her parents to hand her steamed potatoes, "Give them [-]%, we are not short of food, and it is not a bad thing to let them eat better. "

Seeing that little girl finally took a steamed potato from her mother and devoured it, Shirley couldn't help showing a smile.

"Miss, have you listened to us? These serfs are your private property. You don't care what they do, as long as you let them live. There is no need to leave them so much food. It's the result of getting rich. Seeds, wouldn’t it be better to plant them later.”

Andrews continued to persuade him that every time he ate a potato, he felt sore in his heart. If it was planted as seeds in the land, it would be several catties, or tens of catties of potatoes.Now being eaten like this, or being eaten by such a serf, how could he not be heartbroken, how could he not stop his young lady's prodigal behavior.

"Uh, isn't there still a few hundred acres of arable land? After harvesting it, it's not a lot. There's no need to be so stingy. Let's not give it at all."

"Miss, I'm not willing to eat these potatoes at all. How can you let them squander like this? Potatoes have not been popularized in all the arable land in our territory. I think that when we can make it possible for all the people to cultivate Only when you eat potatoes, can you eat with your stomach open."

"No, that's not what you said before. Didn't you still object to my potato planting before? Also, just now you were still worried about the failure of the potato harvest. It's not good to change so quickly."

When Shirley said this, Antruth laughed a lot, and then said: "Miss, look, you misunderstood me, I was also worried that so much arable land would not be harvested, and our income would decrease , unable to pay the gold coins of the two mercenaries, Dragon Cavalry and Yue Yun. Now that I know that the production of potatoes is so large, I naturally agree with both hands."

"Please stop your military salute."

The sudden sentence made Antrus stay on the spot in a daze. Seeing Antruth's rare circle, Shirley raised the corners of her lips slightly.

"Mr. Andrews, we put the harvested potatoes into the warehouse, and then give them to other farmers for planting. These serfs were under the pressure to cultivate potatoes after the harvest, but their lives would be threatened. Give them more. Some are justifiable.”

Seeing that Antruth seemed to be about to speak, Fuya signaled him not to continue with her eyes, and then stroked the girl's long silver hair with her hands.

"Miss is kind-hearted, let's stop contradicting her over such trivial matters."

"Fuya, you can get used to it, miss. So many potatoes, how many gold coins can be exchanged for? Especially at this time, potatoes are not widely available. When only we have them, this is food that can be exchanged for a lot of gold coins. And now our The territory has expanded tens of thousands of acres of fertile land, all of which need potatoes as seeds, so how can they be so wasted and given to those serfs."

According to Antruth's thinking, it would be good for these serfs to eat a little rye, and they could only eat oats.

It needs to be clarified here. The oats here are different from the usual oats. The oats in this world are very difficult to handle, especially the hulling and other processes. Therefore, oats can generally be used to make extremely poor brown bread and very difficult to swallow thick soup.

However, because the yield of oats far exceeds that of other crops, many people like to use oats to feed livestock or poultry.

Here, Andrews felt that it was a luxury for the serfs to eat some potatoes, and giving them some oats was enough to be worthy of these serfs.

"Hmm..." After being told by Antrus, Fuya naturally understood what Antrus was thinking, but since Shirley had already made a decision, she should follow her.

"It's okay this time, next time I'll change the ratio to [-]:[-], and we will take [-]%. Now it's okay, after all, they have to set aside some seeds for cultivation."

As soon as these words came out, Shirley saw Fuya and Antruth looking at each other, and then sighed.Did I say something wrong again?

"Miss, I remember showing you our taxes before. It is clearly written that the lord will provide these serfs with seeds and let them cultivate the land on the lord's manor."

"Eh??? Eh???" She widened her eyes, Shirley really didn't expect to provide the seeds herself, she thought that these serfs, like other free people, had to set aside their own seeds.

"Hey Miss, when you were looking at taxation, did you secretly read the novel in the file again?"

Seeing Shirley's slightly embarrassed expression, Fuya could only sigh helplessly, her young lady's habit of reading novels in the book cannot be changed.

As for Shirley, it wasn't embarrassment, but shock. She hadn't been caught before, how could this be discovered, and why did she add another?The owner of this body had a criminal record before.

"My lord..." A timid voice sounded from not far away at this time. It was the little girl who took the potatoes from her mother before. She was younger than her, but her dirty face should have been A pair of smart eyes, but a stagnant water.Not the slightest brilliance to be seen.

"This... this is... this is the wreath we made for you, I hope you...you...you can accept it."

Slightly taken aback, this unfolded beyond the expectations of Antruth and Fuya, and they didn't know how to deal with it for a while, so they could only instinctively stop Xue Li and prevent her from getting close to the girl.

"A little girl who is younger than me, is it necessary to be so defensive?"

Bypass Fuya, slowly pass through Antruth, and come to this little girl with a slightly nervous expression. She is a head shorter than her, and her thin hands are covered with mud. The garland in his hand looked particularly bright under the setting sun.

"Thank you, and thank you, my friends, for me."

Smiling, she took the wreath from the little girl's hand, and put it on her head without any dislike, her eyes narrowed into two crescent moons.He said with a smile: "How is it? Does it look good?"

"Well, the lord is the most beautiful person. Ah, I didn't say that, this is what my mother just said in the field."

"What else did she say?"

I was very curious about what kind of person I would be in the eyes of my serfs.With a hint of curiosity in her eyes, she watched the little girl nervously looking in the direction of her mother.

"Mom said that the lord is a good person. She also said that you gave us a lot of food this time, and we will have food for this winter."

"I also said that if possible, some dry wood can be replaced this winter, and the winter will not be as cold as before."

Winter, Shirley looked at the little girl in front of her, with her little hands on her head, and her eyes swept over the simple houses around her.Shirley also had a little care in her heart.

Perhaps it was because of Shirley's approachable performance, or perhaps because she said a few words, the child's character was highlighted. After the little girl stopped talking a few times, she finally spoke out what was in her heart.

"Our Harvest Festival will be held in a few days. Will you come to participate?"

"Harvest Festival? What is that?"

It's not that Shirley didn't know, but that she didn't have these things in her memory at all, but she soon learned the general situation from Antrus who was beside her.

"Most of the serfs in this area are from the same place. The Harvest Ceremony they mentioned is a prayer, or a celebration, held locally to celebrate the first harvest of the year. Miss, there is nothing interesting about the festival here. And there are too many people in chaos, which is not good for your safety. I think..."

"Okay, I promise you that I will come back in a few days and participate in your celebration."

"Ah... well, the lord is really a very good, very good person."

Smiling, the little girl nodded happily, turned around and ran and shouted in the direction of her mother.

"Mom, my lord will really attend our ceremony, mom, my lord will really come."

Is it considered that I have been issued a good person card? I accepted this good person card in a happy mood, then felt a chill down my spine, and turned my head carefully, looking at Fuya who was squinting her eyes and looking at her.
