Li Yu was still thinking about how to persuade Du Lun to join the Shuangxiu School, but an unexpected incident disrupted his plan.
The news came from the radio station, saying that the clans and tribes in the Longji Mountains were gathering manpower to form a large army, preparing to take advantage of this year's bumper harvest in the Western Region to go down to the mountains to do something big.
Li Yu asked Miss Rabbit on the side, "Is there anyone else on Longji Mountain?"
"This, maybe... a little bit." The female lord was not very sure, and said with a blank look on her face.
The Dragon's Back Mountain Range is located in the westernmost part of the empire and stretches for hundreds of miles. Next door is the Dwarf Kingdom.
However, due to various reasons, those dwarves would rather take a long way to the Golden Valley, or even go north to trade with the Campbell family, rather than come directly over the mountains.
In addition to the high altitude and dangerous terrain of the Longji Mountains, which are difficult to cross, it is said that the clans and tribes in the mountains are also a large part of the reason.
But those clans are not common here in the Western Region. It is said that the ancestors of those guys have a blood feud with the dwarves.
They had not always lived in the mountains, but the dwarves had robbed the land below the mountains, killed many relatives and friends, and had no choice but to flee into the Dragon's Back Mountain.
Therefore, these clans naturally hated those dwarves to the core, and they specifically picked on dwarves when they went down the mountain to plunder. However, they were relatively friendly with the Red Lion Empire, and even had several small-scale trades.
It was a pity that they had nothing but some furs in their hands, but each of them had a big appetite, and the price was very high. Later, no businessmen were willing to risk their lives to go into the mountains again.
Generally speaking, the nobles of the Western Region have little contact with these clans and tribes in the Dragon's Back Mountains, so naturally they don't have much impression of them.
Ilea didn't know what kind of madness these guys had, and suddenly they decided to start another plundering thing. Could it be that they had suffered a lot at the hands of those dwarves and felt that the lords of the Western Region were soft persimmons and easier to handle than those dwarves?
If they really have this idea, they are totally wrong.
Miss Rabbit had just won the championship in the martial arts competition. She was so confident that she couldn't wait to rush back to teach those clans and tribes a lesson.
The premise is that those guys can hold on until she returns.
Now that the autumn harvest is coming to an end, and the manpower of each family is free again, Advisor Fausto said on the radio that Marquis Cullen is ready to summon his vassals.
As long as those clans and tribes dare to go down the mountain, the nobles in the Western Region will make it impossible for them to come back.
In addition, Fausto also reported the results of this autumn harvest to the female lord.
The old consultant was very excited, and even his voice trembled slightly.
Since Shuangxiujiao's territory took the lead and replaced them with new farm tools and piled manure early, the winter wheat harvest in June had already ushered in a bumper harvest.
However, farmers in other parts of the Green Field did not start to catch up until March this year, so they will not be able to taste the benefits until the harvest in early September.
Seeing that the grain production had doubled compared to previous years, and once again witnessing the incredible power of Saturday, everyone's faces were filled with shock and ecstasy.
Fausto built more than a dozen barns according to Miss Rabbit's instructions before she left, and stored as much food as possible.
However, there was still a part that could not be installed. Fortunately, the Arias family also asked craftsmen from the Bureau of Truth to build two windmills for them.
Together with the four on the Shuangxiujiao side and the Arias family's original two human-powered mills, they were able to grind the remaining portion into flour before it rained.
Fausto has lived for such a long time and has served several heads of the Arias family, but this is the first time he has seen such an unprecedented harvest!
Even if there is no harvest in the green fields in the next three years, these grain reserves alone will be enough to feed everyone.
After hearing this, Miss Rabbit first praised Fausto and others for their work during this period, and then ordered the old consultant to continue purchasing food.
There is enough rain this year. Not only the green fields, but also the harvests in various parts of the Western Territory are generally better than in previous years. The price of food is also relatively cheap. We can take advantage of this opportunity to stock up on more.
Although Fausto agreed, he still didn't understand why Ilea had to stock up on food even though it was a good harvest and Ilea didn't take out food like in previous years.
It was not until Miss Rabbit told Fausto that she would bring nearly 20,000 new people back to the green field that the old consultant was completely shocked.
There was silence on the other side of the radio station for a long time before a voice came again, "Sir Ilea, your father will definitely be proud of you."
The female lord scratched her head, "These people actually mainly follow the prophet Merlin. Well, my status as champion must have played a role in it, but most of them still go for Merlin. But it doesn't matter.
Once you come here, all the green fields will become my subjects."
Miss Rabbit didn't think there was anything wrong with this. What's Li Yu's is hers.
After that, Fausto also reported to the girl the progress of the construction of the rammed earth city. Just half a month ago, all the city walls were completed and are now being covered with bricks.
This part of the work will take even more time, and it is estimated that it will take five or six months at the earliest to complete.
Fortunately, the defensive power of the rammed earth wall itself is quite good and can provide protection for the people living inside it.
When she thought that her first town was about to be built, the female lord, who was already a little homesick, felt like returning home.
After being conferred the title of Earl of Crab Point by Garth, Miss Rabbit discussed with Li Yu the date of return.
Li Yu thought for a moment and said, "Let's do it tomorrow. I'll go to the market to buy some things and chat with Sir Duren by the way."
"Is there any way you can enter the garrison's dungeon?" Ilea's eyes widened, "It is said to be heavily guarded there."
"If you really want to find a way to get in, there are still many ways, but it doesn't have to be so troublesome." Li Yu said, "I can just talk to him outside."
Li Yu later asked Jude to help him find a guy in the city who was brave enough, accurate enough in throwing objects, and spent ten golden lions, so that the latter could find any excuse to be caught by the garrison.
Then he was put into prison.
After entering, the man secretly untied a small black box wrapped around his belly while the guards were not paying attention.
After asking the people around him which cell Du Lun was in, the man weighed the small black box in his hand twice and adjusted the strength and angle.
Thrown out from between the wooden fence, the small black box drew an arc and finally landed right in Duren's cell.
The former captain of the royal guard was sitting on the ground in a daze.
