Chapter 85 Market Research
"This little snake doesn't look like it will bite me." The farmer said, he thinks all things have spirits, if the little snake wakes up and knows that he saved it, it won't bite me back, right?

Seeing that the farmer was too simple and dull, Yize calmed down and said:
"You'd better not take the risk. If you are bitten by a poisonous snake, you will probably die. If you really want to save it, you can take a cloth bag for it and put it next to your fire to keep warm."

The farmer thought for a while and thought it made sense, then nodded and said: "Thank you for reminding me, sir, I will listen to you."

After seeing the farmer take out the cloth bag to pack the snake, Ize left.

Sitting in the carriage, Izer recalled that whether it was in the Mesore Empire, the Norman Empire or in his own country, the farmers and low-level people he met were...to put it bluntly, more ignorant.

The main problem is the lack of education. The upper class does not want to enlighten the lower class people and implements a policy of obscuring the people.

This is more conducive to the rule of the upper class, but this policy also has a fatal flaw, that is, the innovation and development of various industries in the country will also be greatly slowed down.

When the farmer returned home, he put the cloth bag next to the stove, and the heat revived the little adder.

It writhed wildly in the bag, and bit the bag with its fangs, even soaking the surface of the bag with venom.

The old farmer felt scared when he saw this. If he didn't meet that kind noble boy on the road, he might really be bitten by this poisonous snake.

In addition, he is an old man living alone, and the nearest neighbors are several kilometers away. Even if he is poisoned, no one will find him and send him for treatment. Then there is only one consequence, his body will rot in the house.

The old farmer threw the revived snake into the woods and didn't care about it.Everything has animism, except for cold-blooded animals.

The old farmer boiled a pot of hot water to drink. He sat by the fire and missed his grandson a little.

He and his ten-year-old grandson have always lived together. Three months ago, a distant relative opened a shoe store and recruited his grandson as an apprentice, saying that it would allow him to learn a craft and not worry about food and clothing.

For the sake of his grandson's future, the old farmer asked his grandson to follow that relative to work as an apprentice in Cabel City, and it has been more than three months now.

……

The snow fell harder and harder, and the speed of the carriage became slower and slower.

Charlie found a farm in his carriage, and asked Izzy:

"Your Highness, there is a farm ahead, and the snow is so heavy now, why don't we go to the farm to rest first?"

Ize came out to investigate the agricultural development in various parts of the country. Since he passed by a farm, he had to ask about it, not to mention that it was snowing so much now, so he could rest at the farm for a night.

The farm was built with pine wood, surrounded by a one-person-high fence, and there was a black-backed wolfhound in the yard, very fierce, and started barking at Yize and the others from afar.

"Wang Wang Wang!"

When the owner of the farm heard the dog barking, he walked out holding an umbrella and saw that he was a strong man in his 40s with a full beard.

He saw six people standing outside the door, all dressed in fine clothes, and the two guards at the back were wearing light armor and carrying swords.

The farmer knew at a glance that the handsome young man standing in front was either rich or expensive, so he yelled at the wolf dog, "Heidou, shut up!"

Then he turned his head with a smile and said, "My lord, what do you want to do here?"

Charlie spoke for Izer:

"This is the prince of our Principality of Cabel. He passed by your farm, and it happened that the snow was too heavy, so he wanted to rest at your place for one night. Is there any room available here?"

This farm looks not small, and it is not difficult to accommodate six more people.

Yabu, the farmer, quickly knelt down on one knee and said respectfully, "My Highness, Your Royal Highness. It is a great honor for you to want to live here."

Although Yabu guessed that Ize had a high status, he didn't expect him to be the prince of his own country. This existence is second only to the king. People of his class are hard to even meet, let alone build relationships.

Now that the prince is going to live in his farm, this is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity to get in touch with the royal family.

So Yabu opened the door very enthusiastically, "Your Highness, please, I will prepare the best guest room for you immediately."

"Well, thank you, I will reward you." Ize said lightly.

"Your Highness, my name is Yabu. If you have any needs, please tell me directly. I will try my best." Yabu said with a smile.

After leading Yize and his party into the house, Yabu shouted:
"Jenny, hurry up and boil the pot of hot milk, we have a distinguished guest from our farm!"

There was a sound of "dong dong dong" on the stairs, and a woman as fat as Yabu came down from the second floor. She said impatiently:
"Yabu, you're trying to lie to me again. Who would come to our country farm in such a cold winter to return the honored guests..." Jenny had just finished speaking when she saw six people standing in the living room.

Immediately swallowed back what he hadn't finished speaking, "Ah! This! Yabu, who are they?"

Yabu and Jenny are a couple. Their farm is not built by the main road. There are very few passers-by who come to spend the night. In addition, it is snowing today, so Jenny thinks that Yabu is lying to her because he wants to drink hot milk. of.

Yabu said quickly, "This is the prince of our principality, and these are his followers and guards."

Jenny was surprised for a few seconds. After bowing her knees and saluting, she immediately ran to the kitchen to prepare hot milk for Ize and the others to keep out the cold.

Yabu let Yize and his party sit down, and he went to add some firewood to the fireplace in the living room, and the fire burned even more vigorously.

Charlie and Cinderella felt a lot more comfortable after feeling the warmth, while Izzy and Annie didn't feel much.

Soon, Jenny brought hot milk, one cup for each, and the milk was especially sweet after adding honey.

"Thank you." Izzy said politely.

Jenny was a little flattered, and hurriedly said: "No...You're welcome, Your Highness, if there is anything else I need, I will prepare it right away."

As citizens of the Principality of Cabel, they respect the royal family very much.

"No, you guys sit down first, I want to ask you some questions." Ize said.

"Mmm Good!"

Jenny and Yabu sat opposite to Yize, nodding seriously.

"How many farmers usually come to work on your farm?"

Yabu: "In winter, there are far fewer people. In other seasons, there are usually about a dozen people who come to help."

"What kind of agricultural products does your farm mainly deal in?" Ize continued to ask.

"Mainly dairy cows, eggs, wheat flour, and corn." Yabu said casually. "In winter, we only need to keep two milkers and three farmers who feed cows and chickens."

In such a cold day, Yabu and Jenny, who are farmers, usually don't do the work themselves, and they are also considered to be of the propertied class.

"Then how many cows do you have now? How many chickens? How many square meters have you planted for wheat and corn?"

Although Yabu and Jenny were surprised why Ize asked these questions, they still asked them so carefully.

But the other party was a prince. Although they were puzzled, they all answered honestly.

Later, Yize asked to see their operating bills, and they all respectfully presented them to Yize.

 Thank you, I also want to be a bald head, and I want to rob the author, and the two knights each reward 100 gold coins!
