Farming Road from Baron to Emperor

Chapter 70 The Attack on Baron Patel
It was just dawn, and a few crisp and loud rooster crows woke up the sleeping flower town.The tattered door was pushed open, and the serfs came to the street one after another.After a while the narrow streets were crowded with people.

This area belongs to the slums of Huahua Town. Except for a small number of free people, most of the people living in it are serfs.The wooden house they live in is crooked and disorganized.The streets inside are like a maze.

As for why they gathered on the street today, the reason is that today, Master Patel has spoken to clean the street and level the road full of excrement.And from now on, shitting anywhere is not allowed anymore.Every household had to put it into a dung bucket and throw it outside. If caught, they would be fined 50 copper coins, which was already a sky-high price for these serfs.

At that moment Baron Patel's valet approached.Baron Patel hired many male servants, these male servants were not used to serve him, these male servants were equivalent to low-level administrative staff, that is, petty officials.Usually, the management of the flower town and the annual autumn harvest are all done by them.

There are not many of these footmen, and it is estimated that it will take several months to complete the census with them.At this time, a battalion of 100 Iris Knights left by Shire played a role.With their help, all work can be carried out smoothly.

"What are you doing, you lazy bastards, why don't you hurry up and clean up?" The male servant covered his nose with his left hand, and waved his sleeve with his right hand, as if trying to drive away the smell.In fact, he has long been used to this smell, and he can't even feel it unless he smells it carefully. After all, he has been cultivated in this shit-smelling environment, so there is no way to overreact.

However, Master Patel has been doing this recently, saying that the streets are full of feces and urine, which is too dirty and insults the honor of the nobility.In front of these serfs, he naturally had to imitate the airs of Master Patel.

"What are you doing in a daze, hurry into the house to find something to shovel, but Master Patel gave everyone a silver coin. That's a silver coin per person, if you dare to be lazy here, I say you will all go to the gallows. ’ continued the manservant,

The serfs worked enthusiastically, and some serfs even did it themselves, but it was too hard, so they had to go back and get farm tools to shovel, some didn't even have farm tools, you can use stones.

The servant inspected and said, "Master Patel said that no one is allowed to throw dung on the street anymore. If you catch it, you will get 50 copper coins. If you can't get it out, you will be whipped."

It's late autumn now, the leaves on the trees have fallen off, and the shit road is also frozen solid.For the convenience of using force, the serfs lay on the ground like wriggling worms.

"Why do you think Master Petel suddenly wants to shovel shit. It's been decades since I was born. I've been throwing shit here. Isn't this..." The thin serf thought for a while, but still didn't Dare to speak out.

"Who knows, we don't care about our business, it's all the nobleman's business. If we have money, we can get it."

"Who says it's not? It's all about the noble lord's business. We only have to obey orders. It's enough to have enough food this year."

When the servants sent by Baron Patel saw that these serfs dared to talk about the noble lord, they rushed up and kicked each of them.He cursed in his mouth, "You bastard, you bastards dare to say things about noble lords, you really have the guts."

These serfs were kicked to the ground, and the surrounding serfs just watched numbly, without the slightest thought of coming to help.These few bony serfs knelt down and confessed their mistake.

Why don't you resist? Whether you can fight or not is an important issue. Don't look at three or four of them, but they are all in the shape of Wu Dalang.

The male servants can't say that they eat and drink well, but it's okay to have enough food every year, and they can still eat a few meals of meat every year, with some meat.Compared with serfs, they naturally grow taller and stronger.

For the serfs, it would be nice to be able to eat half full every day, so that they could eat a few full meals every autumn when the grain was harvested. When they were not working, they might not even be half full.

Not to mention that they don't even have the consciousness of resistance. Since they were born, they have been controlled by the nobles. Their father told them since they were young that they should listen to the nobles and kneel when they see the nobles, otherwise they will run into the nobles. is to be punished.They grew up like this, and when they grow up, even if they see the dog legs of the noble lord, they will naturally be humble.

Their goal in life is to have enough food, and it is best to have more sons and raise them safely.If you have to say a dream, it is to become a free citizen, because then the annual food will be less, they can have a few more children, and they can eat food every year, and they can afford clothes. He was suddenly dragged onto the battlefield by the noble lord.

The male servant also felt very bored, and waved his hand, indicating that they should go to shovel the dung, and stop watching here.He cursed in his mouth: "I am in a good mood today, my lord. Let me let you go. If I hear you talking about noble lords indiscriminately in the future, I will beat you to death with a whip."

"What are you looking at, don't rush to work. Master Patel gave you silver coins, not for you to watch here."

On the street of flower town.

Baron Patel was wrapped in a coat made of wool and walked towards the baron's mansion, stomping his feet from time to time on the way. Baron Patel had relatively short limbs, but he had a round belly and a rosy face. He was quite a fat man.But this is a symbol of nobles and lords. Serfs can't even eat enough to eat. Those who can eat this size must be rich nobles and lords.

He walked up to the baron's mansion, with the fat on his face piled up, and he squeezed out a flattering smile. He said to the Iris soldier guarding the door, "Can you inform Miss Fina?" After speaking, he took out a bag from his sleeve. A gold coin was secretly handed over.

Watching the iris soldier look left and right, he found no one was looking at him, so he quickly picked him up and said, "I'll report it to you right away."

Baron Patel felt a little depressed. He had now fallen to the point where he needed bribes to enter his own home.But he was in a very good state of mind. On second thought, it was better than Knight Hardy following Shire to the Cosmos collar, and he might not come back with his life.

It turned out that Fina did not follow Shire's army, but stayed in Flower Town, which naturally lived in Baron Pater's mansion. Baron Patel hurriedly moved out with his whole family and moved to Flower Town. In another house in the town, hiding far away.He managed to survive and wanted to live a few more years.

After a while, the Iris Knight came back and said, "Miss Fina is ready in the hall, you can go in.

Baron Patel followed a servant and walked into the hall. Suddenly, a burst of hot air rushed over his face. Baron Patel was a little moved, because the fireplace in the hall of his baron's mansion was warmed up.

A cold voice came, "Baron Patel, what's the matter?"

Baron Patel took a step forward, put his left hand on his right chest, took off his hat with his right hand, moved his body forward slightly, nodded at the same time, and performed a very standard noble salute.

"Miss Fina Tulip, I'm here to ask for the help of the Iris Soldier. Now the poop sweeping operation in Flower Town is almost over. With the help of the Iris Soldier, it really is very fast. It is worthy of being trained by Baron Charles. army.

But Baron Shire ordered me to check the population of the flower town. The population of the flower town has been checked, but the villages attached to the flower town are very numerous and scattered.

I still need the help of several squads of Iris soldiers. "

After finishing speaking, Baron Patel raised his head slightly, and saw Fina sitting sideways on the chair by the fireplace. When she turned her head, the hood on her head accidentally fell off, and her golden curly hair fell like a waterfall. Sparkle like jewels.Baron Patel quickly lowered his head.All around here are maids from Shire Castle.

"The census of Flower Town has been counted? How many people are there in total?"

"Miss Feina, there are 1063 households and 6012 people in Flower Town."

"Is the team going to Mustang Town back?"

At that time, another order Shire gave Baron Patel was to unify weights and measures. Patel wanted to send someone to Mustang Town to get a few rulers.

Later, he suddenly realized that it was impossible for the standard stone to stay in Mustang Town. Why didn't he follow the excuse of unifying the measurement scale and bring the standard stone back to Flower Town.When Lord Shire withdraws his army, he will bring it back to Tulip City.

Just do it, Patel simply sent his own manservant to take a few people with him.

"Not yet, but the estimated distance should be within a few days."

Fina seemed to have suddenly lost interest in asking questions, and after a while, she said, "I will assign you three more squads of Iris soldiers, and the census must be completed quickly. If you can catch up before Charles returns, maybe you can still be there." Continue to be the baron mayor here."

Patel was overjoyed, he saluted again and said, "I will definitely finish it on time." After finishing speaking, he left

After Petel went out, Fina bent down to pick up the hood, her blond hair fell down like a waterfall, and her palm-sized face looked very delicate under the morning light.She gently supported the white full moon with her hand, looked out through the window in the hall, seemed to be thinking about something, and suddenly sighed.

After Baron Patel walked out, he happened to meet the male servant who was walking towards him.

"Master, the team that went to Mustang Town has returned."

"How about it, did you bring the things back? There is nothing wrong with it."

"Master, there is no problem at all. This square stone was moved from Mustang Town, and there is no bump in the middle. When it is put down at night, a blanket must be laid on it first, lest it be knocked."

"That's good, take me to have a look."
