During the period from the end of June to mid-July, the entire Western Territory became busy.
Wherever there are villages and farms, wherever you look, they are almost all golden. The farmers are waving their short sickles and sweating in the fields.
The carrots planted by the Arias family are now also harvesting.
Obviously the radishes in the fields are growing well, but this year's output has dropped significantly compared to previous years.
Moreover, this gap is not temporary, but will continue forever, and we don’t know when it will be filled again.
When Ilea patrolled several of the family's farms, she always had a serious expression on her face.
It wasn't until someone came to report that Cavalier Pablo was back that the girl's expression relaxed a little, and then she hurried back in a carriage as soon as possible.
Ever since Alfred took the Teacup Castle with only three men, Knight Pablo, who was originally responsible for guarding the castle, felt that he was too shameless to continue doing so. Coupled with his personal grudge against Alfred, he simply went back to concentrate on his work.
Run your own estate.
However, Ilea, the new head of the family, has too few available people. Not long ago, she experienced the Purple Bird Knight's escape from the battlefield, which led to the girl now generally not trusting those who came to join the Purple Bird.
So after careful consideration, we invited old people like Pablo, who had served the Arias family for many years, to come back to work.
The first errand that Miss Rabbit gave Pablo was to take people to Rock Snow City to pick up the Wettin family who had been exiled to the West from Marquis Cullen.
Pablo set out about twenty days ago. Although he experienced some twists and turns, he finally completed the mission successfully and brought the people back to the green field.
Even though he had been traveling for several days and seemed very dusty, Pablo still did not want to go into Teacup Castle to rest and relax with a glass or two of wine. Instead, he just waited outside the city and met the city wall.
Alfred stared blankly.
The people around them were worried about the two of them, fearing that they would suddenly start a fight.
Fortunately, it didn't take long for Ilea's carriage to appear at the bottom of the hillside. Pablo also withdrew his gaze and ignored his mortal enemy. He adjusted his armor and took the initiative to meet it.
"Miss Ilea, I have brought you back."
"Thank you for your hard work, Pablo."
Miss Rabbit looked over the knight's shoulder and looked at the person behind him curiously.
At first glance, those people look very similar to the Bathory family. They all have small eyes and barely visible ears. The difference is that most of their hair is yellowish brown.
The animal on the coat of arms of the Wetting family is a sea lion, and their clan members also inherited some of the characteristics of sea lions, which is quite easy to identify.
The Arias family and the Wettin family are in the west and the other is in the east. They are separated by an extremely long distance. Ilea has actually never seen anyone from the Wettin family before.
But except for the basic physical characteristics of the group of people in front of them, it is really difficult for people to connect them with the former imperial family.
They were all in ragged clothes and pale, as if they hadn't seen the sun for a long time. They were generally a lot thinner than normal people. Some people's arms and legs were like numb poles, but their stomachs were not.
Small, it looks very weird.
But the most unforgettable thing is the numb expression on their faces, their eyes are empty and dull, like a stone, they have lost their response to external stimulation.
On the way here, Ilea was still thinking about how to set rules for these people.
After all, the other party's family was once a top wealthy family at the top of the empire's power hierarchy. In comparison, the Arias family was just a small nobleman in the distant border.
The gap in identity between the two parties was wider than the bay outside Crab Legs. How could the Weiting family be so obediently at her mercy?
The reason why the girl is willing to accept such a group of politically sensitive refugees to settle in Green Field is because of their labor force and their ability to farm the land, not because she wants to find a group of noble lords for herself.
This point must be made clear at the beginning, so that both parties can live in peace and not cause trouble for each other.
So before these people arrived, Ilea was already ready.
You can be tougher when they first meet. If someone dares to contradict her, just to scare the monkeys, he will be punished by paying an extra 20% of the rent every year, plus an extra month of corvee.
In short, you must establish a dignified image of yourself who speaks the truth.
However, the plan failed to keep up with the change. When she actually met the Weiting family, Miss Rabbit felt that these people looked so pitiful, like walking zombies, and she couldn't help but feel sympathy for them.
It was obvious that the previous rebellion was only planned and participated by Hilda and a few core members of the family. As a result, many side bloodlines who were not in the royal capital or Crab Legs were also arrested.
Thrown into a dungeon, one level lasts for five years.
Many people died in the dungeon, and those who were lucky enough to survive became like neither humans nor ghosts.
In addition, Jude's identity was exposed not long ago. Even after more than nine hundred years, the descendants of the Enriquez family still have to hide in the West, avoid towns as much as possible, and wander around in the wilderness with one person and one dog.
Settlement.
The young Lord of the Green Fields once again felt the cruelty of the power struggle.
The previous joy of recruiting people to farm the land also dissipated a lot. He sighed and said to Fausto, "Take them to a nearby farm to settle them first. Food has been harvested recently. Give them more bread and
Carrots, learning to farm can wait for two more days."
Fausto nodded, "Yes, Miss."
After Ilea finished speaking, she was about to return to the castle, but someone suddenly rushed out of the crowd and stumbled towards this side, shouting, "Wait a minute, wait a minute!"
"Who?! Dare to attack Miss Ilea!" Pablo, who was on the side, had already drawn the sword from his waist and stopped in front of Miss Rabbit. At the same time, he looked at the visitor with an unkind expression.
However, the man was not frightened by the sword swinging in the knight's hand. He still moved forward and looked at the girl behind the knight with a hopeful look on his face. "You, you are the lord of this place! Please save me."
younger sister!!!"
Ilea patted Pablo on the back, signaling the knight not to be nervous, and then looked at the young man in front of her, "What's wrong with your sister?"
"About two days ago, my sister suddenly started to have vomiting and diarrhea. She couldn't eat anything and had a high fever. Later, she could hardly walk. I and several other people took turns carrying her and finally managed to get here, but her condition
But there is no improvement, so he must be treated immediately."
