Rise of the Lord of Mount and Blade

Considering that it’s important for Gould’s collusion with the Berry people, we need to report it to Earl Leonard immediately (Leonard: you brat, why did you make a lot of things for me? Come), Richard hasn’t stayed here for long. He only stayed on the 3rd day before leaving Opal Castle and returning to Fort Loffey.

Before setting off, Strong asked Richard to leave some soldiers to help defend the castle on the grounds that there was a lack of guards in the castle until the new castle guards came on duty, but Richard refused without even thinking about it. Strong also said that he was willing to pay the salaries of the garrison soldiers the past few days. As soon as he heard this, Richard Bang, soon, he agreed immediately. He and Strong said, I am your prince, I You have an obligation to ensure the safety of your personal and property. You can always trust me as a good monarch. Of course, I will keep 15 soldiers for you. You can talk to them for daily salary.

Being able to get fifteen sturdy Batanian warriors to stay behind to protect, Strong is naturally happy. The current Opal Castle is a defensive emptiness. There is no military force to fight, although The surrounding bandits have disappeared, but he is not sure if they will come out from where a group of bold bandits rushed into the castle to kill the nobles. With these fifteen soldiers garrisoned, at least wait for new ones. He didn’t have to worry about safety before the establishment of his castle guard.

Richard is also very happy. He is willing to leave the soldiers behind for Strong. Do you think you really want to protect the Opal Baron family as you do your duty? That is impossible, he purely wanted to distribute the people to Strong, so that he could help him raise soldiers for a period of time, just to save a lot of money.

Looking at it this way, it’s a win-win situation.

……

Two days later, Richard finally returned to Fort Loffey again.

More than a week later, Luofei Village has obviously undergone great changes. The military barracks area at the west entrance of the village has begun to be constructed. Many silhouettes walk through it, in a frenzy, and there is a pile of logs next to the construction site. And gravel, a few fully armed soldiers are standing on the periphery. Many new fields have been reclaimed in the farmland outside the village. The fields are divided into squares of different lengths with wooden boards. The names of people are written in ink on the wooden boards to represent which person and family the land is allocated to.

The road was surrounded by farmland on both sides. Walking in it, Richard looked around and was full of villagers who were working hard with farm tools. The families who were assigned to the fields were all together. When arable land is watered, women either prepare food or do what they can.

It can be seen that although each of them is brow beaded with sweat, they have a longing for the future on their faces.

Although there is no land deed, this land is indeed theirs according to the lord’s words. As long as they work hard, the grain produced is their own except for paying taxes.

The villagers quickly found the returning lord, quickly put down the tools in their hands, ran to both sides of the road, and greeted Richard. Richard also responded one after another slightly nodded with a smile, and followed him Behind Walter looked at this scene in astonishment. He didn’t expect that the viscount who was a few years older than himself at worst would be so popular among the villagers.

Richard responded to the villagers’ greetings while observing their farming methods. The planting methods used by the villagers in Luofei Village are still the most traditional two-bed system. In other words, the two-bed system is planting. One year off every year, but in recent years, because of the threat of banditry, they can’t actually implement the two-bed system. Now that the threat is lifted, Richard has to change their farming methods.

By the way, do you still remember the third thing he didn’t say when he called the villagers to announce the division of fields and hoarding manure? The third thing was to make the villagers switch from the backward two-bed system to more Advanced three-bed system.

Richard, who was sure that the time was ripe, passed through the villagers’ onlookers calmly and entered the entrance of the village, but he did not return to the castle directly, but after asking Phyllis to bring the team back to the castle, Turning to the military camp area at the west entrance of the village, Walter was curious about this strange place, and followed him.

The original gate of the west entrance of the village has now become the entrance to the barracks area. On each side stood two guards wearing chainmail robes. When they saw Richard came back, their faces were joyful. Look, greet him quickly and let him go.

Entering the barracks area, 2/3 of the wall planned by Cassia has been built, and the remaining one third is also half completed. The barracks and stables inside the wall have also been laid, and those covered Under the scolding of the overseer, the prisoners of in dirt carried tools to dig the soil, or joined forces to carry logs to the designated location. Richard swept around and didn’t see Cassia’s silhouette. Instead, he saw a few craftsmen who had never seen him working there. It seemed that Cassia had dug them from Raltai.

“My lord, what are they building?” Walter, who was standing next to Richard, asked curiously.

“Build a barracks and stables.” Richard did not hide it, naturally replied, “You can come here to see more in the future and deal with the soldiers. This will help your growth.”

“But I am a nobleman, and nobleman is destined not to mix with those vulgar soldiers.” Walter frowns questioned.

Although he followed Richard the past few days and mixed with the soldiers of the Bratai collar, this does not mean that he will accept this kind of thing.

Seeing his answer like this, Richard laughed dumbfounded. He reached out and touched Walter’s hair again, and said: “Walter, you have to know that these vulgar soldiers can help you win the victory, and so can they Easily let you go to death, don’t be blinded by arrogance.”

“But…”

What else does Walter want to defend, but when it comes to the lips, there is still nothing. Speak out, because he vaguely felt that what Richard said really made sense.

Looking at the tangled look on Walter Frowns’ face, Richard did not continue to say anything. Although he has lived in this World for almost 20 years, he still retains some concepts from his previous life in the bones, so Compared to these nobles who are more aboriginal than him, his thoughts and behaviors will still seem out of place.

However, Walter frowns soon stretched out. He lifts the head to meet Richard’s gaze. His eyes are large and clear, and he said, “My lord, I think I understand what you mean. I will try to get in touch with those soldiers.”

I heard that Richard was taken aback. He looked at the little boy who had just reached his chest with some surprise. The surprised look on his face was quickly Replaced by a smile, he nodded with a smile, saying: “I believe you can do it.”
