Farming Road from Baron to Emperor

Chapter 64 Ciel Enters the Cosmos Collar
Geithner felt as if he had punched Cotton with a punch, which was very boring, and it didn't make any sense to vent his anger on the implicated person, so he simply waved his hand to signal the two to go down.He said to his valet Arnell, "Go and call Knight Commander Georgi."

This Georgi is the illegitimate son of Earl Lil Baines of the Principality of Luma in the south, and is now a leading baron in his territory.The Baines family is his smuggling partner and has a very high status in the Duchy of Luma.Obviously, in this relationship, Earl Geithner is the weak side.

From Geithner sending the Ottoman knights to lead the army, we can know the composition of Georgie Baines.

"My lord, is there anything I can do for you?" With a smooth and fair face, long eyebrows like willows, a long hat with gold trim, a slim black tuxedo, khaki trousers, and high black riding boots. He looks like a knight in battle, but he looks like a weak noble young master in cosplay.

Geithner sighed, if he was sent to seduce the lady, he would definitely be a good hand, but if he went out to hunt down that group of knights, Geithner felt very nervous.

In fact, Georgi did exactly that. As Earl Geithner's knight commander, he attended banquets every day and hooked up with noble girls and ladies from the cosmos collar.Perhaps his father, the Lord Lil Baines, had sent him with that in mind.

The actual power of the Knights rests with Georgie's deputy, Emre. This deputy was appointed by Earl Geithner. As an illegitimate child, Georgie is naturally not seen well, and he doesn't even have the right to inherit the surname of Baines, but Lear Earl Baines dotes on this illegitimate son very much, so he made this request to Earl Geithner.

So we have to talk about the Principality of Luma. The Principality of Luma believes in the Church of Light. One of the teachings of the Church of Light stipulates monogamy.So even the king of the Luma Principality has only one queen, so they are intermarriages between nobles, and the nobles of the entire Luma Principality may be relatives.

"Chief Knight Georgi, a group of wandering knights came from the small town of Gele. I order you to lead the knights to disperse them."

The Cosmos leader had two knight orders with 400 members. The wandering knights outside the small town of Gele only had more than 100 dead. With the help of Emre, Geithner felt that the problem was not big.

"Yes, Lord Count."

Giorgi knew Earl Geithner's general evaluation of him. Since he dared to send him out, what else would he not dare to do?

……

There is no clear boundary between territories, especially in the Principality of Artem, in the northeast of Glory Continent, where the temperature is relatively low, and it is barely possible to grow one season of wheat a year, and another crop of soybeans.The Principality of Artem is typically vast and sparsely populated, with wilderness everywhere, and what is lacking are serfs for cultivation.

When the knight who was investigating in front sent back a message: the farmland has been seen.Although there is no exact line between the new iris collar and the cosmos territory, it is clear that they have entered the cosmos collar.

This news disturbed Charles's thinking.The serfs captured from Cosmos, Shire plans to throw them into the mine to work as miners, and the rest will set up a small town to the west of Mustang Town.Separate them from the cosmos collar and discourage them from going back.He couldn't believe that they still wanted to go back 800 meters away.

Except for blacksmiths, cobblers and other craftsmen, the rest of Shire intends to demote them all to serfs.Here they are now, with a house to live in and food to eat. Shire burned down their house and moved them to the Iris Collar. It's no wonder they are loyal to the Iris Collar.

That being the case, Shire didn't want extravagance, and simply let them dig mines and reclaim land. These high casualty rates, but must be done, let them be the top.

"Report to the young master, we found the Cosmos village ahead."

"Restrain soldiers not to kill and kill innocent people indiscriminately."

Serfs are very precious labor. Now his territory is in urgent need of serfs. No matter how many serfs there are, he can eat them. Mines and unowned wilderness are all big households that need labor.

Of course, there are military expansion and infrastructure construction, but these two items are destined to have nothing to do with the serfs of Cosmos. The most important thing is that Shire dare not use them. After all, people have something to consider, and it is easier to buy people's hearts.

"Yes, sir."

"Forget it, I'll go and see for myself." If it was the time when he had just joined the army, Charles would still be sure to restrain them, but now, Charles has no idea.

The brigade of Iris soldiers surrounded the village and completely blocked the exit of the village. Seeing this, the serfs in the village hid in their houses and closed the doors and windows. There was no one on the street, and the village was very quiet.

Charles gave Andrew a look, and Andrew immediately gave orders to drive out the people in the village from house to house in shifts. After a while, all the people in the village gathered in the open space of the village.

An old man, probably the head of the village, looked to be in his fifties. Among the serfs with an average life expectancy of only 40 years, he was already considered a long-lived old man. He walked up tremblingly, thumping Kneeling on the ground, "Master Lord, please spare our lives."

"Help him up." This world also has respect for longevity.

Ciel "Don't worry, all of you can save your life, but only if you listen to me."

"My lord, our ancestors have been here for generations. Can you..."

Seeing this, the Iris soldier beside him scolded: "The benevolent Master Shire has already spared your life, and you still dare to make demands."

The village head sneaked a glance at Charles, seeing that he didn't respond, he was unmoved, and sighed resignedly.

In fact, Shire is already considered very approachable. It may be the influence of the residual thinking in his previous life. Although he has changed a lot, some things will not be changed for a while. In the battle with Othman, serfs were also used as bait, and many serfs died.

But there are some small things that he doesn't realize. If he is a native nobleman, he would not bother to talk to this serf. How can a dirty serf deserve to talk to a nobleman? For their sake, the benevolent noble lord will not argue with them.

If it is a young and middle-aged man, it will offend the honor of the noble lord. Being whipped is regarded as the kindness of the noble lord, and it is not uncommon to be killed.

Of course, when Charles faces the serfs with low status, this will not have any effect. However, when he faces the earl, the king, or someone with a higher status than him, some behaviors are equivalent to laying mines for himself. .
