Chapter 16 Going to the Fief

The next day.

Aaron walked along the corridors of the castle.

The scene last night scared him a little.

The appearance of that round of black sun, especially the ability to 'broadcast around the world', made him even more afraid.

Although that round of raving only lasted for a few minutes and then dissipated automatically, it would obviously bring more changes to that world.

He needs to think carefully.

"Sir Aaron!"

At this moment, a voice came from behind, it was Viscount Felipe Gottau.

"Lord Viscount."

Aaron stopped and smiled.

"Your Excellency Aaron is indeed young and promising... He single-handedly took down the castle with dozens of people. Such great achievements are indistinguishable from those of the legendary heroes."

Li Li's face was full of smiles: "If I had known in advance, I would have spoken kindly in front of the king and asked for a title for Lord Aaron. I believe that Baron or even Viscount will not be a problem."

"The size of the title has no meaning, the key lies in the territory and strength."

Aaron shrugged his shoulders: "If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."

He didn't even bother to participate in the family's intrigues, let alone become the king's sword.

Looking at Aaron's back, Li Li had a playful expression on his face and said to himself: "You don't even want to contact me. This Lord Aaron Sotos is indeed a smart man. It's a pity that you think so, but

Your eldest brother is quite stupid..."

As the king's special envoy, he naturally has some confidential tasks.

If you can use a few words to cause discord or even split within the Sotos family, it would naturally be the best.

A unified green forest is not in the interest of the Kargash Kingdom!



After the wedding, while all the guests were present, Aaron's canonization ceremony was held.

Also under the big banyan tree, Theodore gave Aaron the soil and saplings representing the territory, and at the same time tapped his shoulder with his sword.

"I swear, I will repay the monarch with loyalty!"

"I swear, I will protect the territory with my sword!"

"I swear, I will abide by my honor, today and every day!"



Aaron wore a brand new knight's uniform and solemnly swore that when he stood up, he would be a real knight.

As for the canonized territory, it was no surprise that it was the Blackstone Manor that was previously decided. The original territory of Saliba the Wild Bear included a manor, a village, and a large area of ​​forest nearby.

After completing all this, Aaron led his men directly to Shanglu Forest.

It is worth mentioning that the maid Tia wanted to stay in the castle, and Aaron fulfilled her wish and gave her a sum of money.



Blackstone Manor.

This manor is very large, with its own mill, winery, and granary... It can be seen that Saliba has carefully arranged the place.

At this time, these all became Aaron's things.

"Sir, after our survey, we found that there are about 500 people in the nearby villages, and the cultivated land in the territory is about 1,000 rams."

Behind him, Eight Fingers said respectfully.

The ram here is the unit of land area in the green forest. One ram is roughly equivalent to about five acres of land.

"The area of ​​cultivated land is still too small. Coupled with the existence of the lord, the poverty of the people is inevitable..."

Aaron thought to himself and said casually: "The impact of the war should be eliminated as soon as possible. The barren land should be reclaimed immediately, and the land that can be replanted should be replanted immediately... This winter, I don't want people to starve to death in my territory, so I can temporarily borrow

Give the hungry farmers a little ration, take it out of my private warehouse, and let them return it after next year's harvest."

"You are so kind!" Eight Fingers sighed with emotion.

After all, in this era, it is normal for people to starve to death in winter!

"After all, this is my first year as a lord." Aaron shook his head: "In addition, what is the response of Sanchez and the others? If they are willing to come, I will accept them as free people and grant them one ram of land. The squad leader will be doubled.

!”

His previous team had a pretty good run-in, and it was manpower that he brought over, and Aaron didn't want to let it go.

"I have contacted them one by one. Baker refused, Green and Sanchez both agreed, and there are more than a dozen other households..."

He bowed with eight fingers.

After all, he was the first free citizen in this territory.

"Well, with these manpower, my manor can almost be put into operation... Finally, I still need a clerk, or a bachelor!"

Aaron nodded, he had already prepared for this.

The bachelor in the castle should be able to recommend someone to come over. As long as he can read and know simple calculations and writing, he can't be too demanding.

After taking care of these chores, he could finally devote all his energy to exploring the dream world.



Within the manor, of course, the knights did not have a castle to live in.

That kind of building that combines the functions of residence, defense, fortress and other functions cannot be built by the knight's economic strength.

Before, Saliba only mobilized the people to build a wooden villa for him.

At this time, it naturally belongs to Aaron.

When he came to the villa, there was no shortage of maids around him. The farmers here were very willing to send girls to the lord's house. Even if there were no benefits, it would be good to have one less mouth to eat.

"By the way, there is still a little trouble."

At this time, outside the villa, there was a woman of about thirty years old, waiting uneasily with two children beside her.

These are the wife and children of Knight Saliba, who should now be called widows.

"Mrs. Rita..."

Aaron took a step forward and said in a calm tone: "You haven't left yet?"

"I have...nowhere to go."

Lady Rita smiled bitterly. She must not be Saliba's first wife, she is still very young and beautiful: "I think... Dear Lord Knight, you may need a housekeeper?"

Aaron recalled that this lady should also be the daughter of a certain knight.

There is no way to go back now... It is very likely that her father or brother also resisted the Sotos family and died on the battlefield, and even the territory was completely deprived of them.

But at this time, a weak woman begged and dressed up specially, and the meaning contained in it was very obvious.

Aaron shook his head: "I already have a steward. If Mrs. Rita has nowhere to go, she can become a free citizen in my territory. I will allocate ten rams of land to you. You can hire farmers to cultivate it. It must be enough to raise a child."

The children have grown up..."

Rita wanted to say something else, which was obviously not in line with her wishes, but Aaron waved his hand, not prepared to tangle with this woman.

You killed the other person's husband, and your own family destroyed the other person's family. Even if the other person does not have any ill intentions, you can never trust him!

If it had been before, maybe he would have stayed with the other party, played with it slowly, and watched the other party's desperate and ugly look after his conspiracy was exposed.

But now?

You still have to pursue transcendence and immortality wholeheartedly!
