Farming Lord of Crossing

Chapter 53
The responsibilities and levels of officials at all levels in Stan Town are clear, and the division of labor is clear. Under their command, the entire Stan Town operates efficiently.

The guards went out to practice in the field wearing armor and armed with sharp weapons, strangling any peeping creatures.

Farmers took their own tools, or went to the fields to work hard, or walked into the workshop to start working.

Merchants open the door of the store early, put all the goods on the counter, and wait for customers to come to buy.

It was busy but orderly.

Ten days later, Ross took Thomas to the manor of Sir Ye Weiqi in Green Pine Town again to attend a reception.Ross has attended such receptions many times over the years.

A noble lady and wife danced cheerfully to the sound of elegant music, while the noble gentlemen talked loudly with wine, and from the occasional laughter, it could be heard that they were in a very good mood.

A spring rain washed away the haze and panic in the hearts of these nobles, allowing them to relax their nerves and have a good carnival.

When Ross arrived, the reception here had already started.

Sir Ye Weiqi, whose cheeks were flushed from drinking, saw Rose enter the hall led by his servants and immediately shouted: "Haha, look who's coming! Our young mayor, Chief Beheader Los Terras."

The master's voice made everyone turn their attention to this rapidly rising young mayor.Over the years, Ross has thoroughly carried forward the title of Chief Beheader, and he has chopped off more than a dozen heads of Tier [-] orcs, and most of the nobles present have more or less been rescued by Ross.

So everyone raised their glasses to Ross or waved hello with a smile.

Ross smiled slightly, took a glass of wine from the side without any stage fright, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is too exaggerated. Over the years, you led the Knights and wiped out thousands of orcs. We rely on you in this area." And Wiccas led the Knights to frighten the orcs to be so peaceful."

Sir Ye Weiqi laughed loudly, patted Rose on the shoulder twice and said, "I just like a straightforward young man like you!" He clinked glasses with Rose and drank the fruit wine.

Los also drank the wine with a smile, and then joined their discussion.

The reception continued with laughter.

Dressed in chain mail and with a serious face, Thomas looked out of place in the reception, especially when the bold eyes and smiles of the noble ladies and wives made him even more at a loss, so he had to stand there with a stern face like a statue , until the snickering Rose came over and stuffed a glass of wine into his hand, pulled him over and introduced him to Sir Ye Weiqi and others, and finally rescued him.

Before the dance music started, Sir Ye Weiqi put down his wine glass after several other allies nodded, and boarded a small high platform to clap for everyone to be quiet.

Immediately, everyone in the hall stopped what they were doing and looked at Sir Ye Weiqi. The music also stopped in due time, and the servants also quietly exited the hall.

Seeing this scene, Rose, who didn't know anything, was puzzled, but he didn't make a sound, but pulled Thomas to wait and see what happened.

Sir Ye Weiqi smiled and said: "Ladies and gentlemen. First of all, I would like to thank you all for coming to my reception, and I wish you all the best of fun at the reception!" Everyone applauded and thanked Sir Ye Weiqi for giving them a chance to get together .

Sir Ye Weiqi, whose vanity was satisfied, continued to say with a smile: "Here, I would like to inform you of another piece of great news, although everyone already knows this news very well.

Thanks to the great goddess of agriculture, the damned drought is finally over.And according to news from the royal family of Lorraine, stargazers predict that the next 20 years will be smooth and rainy. "

"yeah!"

"Thanks to the great goddess of agriculture!"

"Thank you for the protection of the God of Fire!"

The people present applauded enthusiastically, praised and thanked their gods one after another, as if the disaster was solved by their gods.

Sir Ye Weiqi waved his hands amidst the praises, and then said in a serious voice: "Although the severe drought has passed, the orcs have not retreated, because they will not retreat because of the danger of the Kaslang River.

In other words, there will still be many orcs and monsters outside our villages and towns in the future.

Our villages and towns are in danger of being breached at any time. Our caravans and goods are stranded in the villages and towns and cannot be transported. Our crops are rotten in the fields and no one takes care of them. Our leaders are restricted in the villages and towns and cannot go out.Our gold coins, wine, and food are constantly decreasing.

Do you want to continue living like this? "

"do not want!"

"Oh my God! I can't imagine living without good food and wine!"

"Kill those damn bastards!" The nobles, wives, and ladies shouted frantically.

Sir Ye Weiqi revealed a smug smile on the corner of his mouth, but his face was full of pain: "Yes, I also want to chop up all these offal.

However, for so many years, our soldiers have been guarding the villages and towns, constantly fighting with orcs and monsters, the shoulder pads and weapons have been dilapidated, and the number of soldiers is also decreasing.

Therefore, our soldiers have more than enough energy to guard villages and towns, let alone to eliminate orcs. "

"Ah!" Most of the nobles were in an uproar instantly.

What a joke, if the soldiers can't wipe out the orcs as soon as possible, they have to worry every time they go out, and many of their favorite food, wine, and other gadgets can't be bought in time, how can they live like this?
Thinking of the noble lady, she asked sharply, "Then why don't you recruit more soldiers, equip them with brand-new weapons and armor, and let them go and destroy those damned orcs?"

Sir Ye Weiqi curled his mouth, spread his hands and said helplessly: "Ma'am, do you think we don't want to? That group of damned orcs killed us too many good guys. What a good guy, he was smashed by crazy orcs every day." Cracked heads, slit throats, grabbed hearts and died, then devoured without leaving a bone. We hate those damn orcs more than any of you.

However, the guards have spent too much gold coins guarding the villages and towns over the years for food, accommodation, training, and replacement of weapons and armor.We can no longer spend even a single gold coin to recruit soldiers or buy new weapons and armor.

We can't even avenge those good guys! "Sir Ye Weiqi's expression first became indignant, then became helpless and painful, and finally even burst into tears from both places.

When gold coins were mentioned, these nobles instantly calmed down.

They didn't believe Sir Ye Weiqi's tears, the nobles didn't care about the life and death of civilian soldiers, they only cared about the gold coins in their pockets.But they can't say that, after all, now they have to rely on those civilian soldiers to protect their safety and protect their gold coins.

With the silence in the venue, the air in the venue began to become dull, sticky and hot, making people involuntarily tense and bored.

Gradually, everyone's eyes began to turn to the few businessmen present.

They are the ultimate goal of this reception.

Looking at the green eyes of everyone, they who were fortunate to be able to participate in the noble reception suddenly realized that they were not lucky to be able to come here, because they are needed here.

A businessman who had just had a drink with Sir Ye Weiqi was standing next to Ross. Ross could clearly see the sweat on the businessman's fat face under the gaze of everyone, and instantly wet the high collar of his snow-white shirt.

The fat merchant is the largest merchant in the vicinity. Whether his performance this time is good or bad will determine whether his business in this area will go smoothly in the future, so he gritted his teeth and said slowly: "In order to get rid of the damned orcs as soon as possible, the Ulrich Chamber of Commerce I am willing to donate 1 gold coins to replace weapons and equipment for soldiers fighting on the front line."

After saying this, the fat businessman immediately stared closely at Sir Ye Weiqi's expression, seeing him nodding slightly, he was relieved, and then looked at the others with a reserved smile.

With his beginning, other businessmen have opened their mouths to donate military expenses or supplies.

While Thomas was stunned, Sir Ye Weiqi raised more than 10 gold coins, hundreds of sets of weapons and armor, and dozens of horses in just a few minutes.

Ross sighed slightly, nobles are indeed nobles.With such an operation, the losses caused by the severe drought in the past few years have been fully compensated.

As for the follow-up merchants using methods such as raising prices to stop losses, as long as their extravagant life is not affected, they don't care about the life and death of ordinary people.
