In the scorching sun, Seni Dali walked on the banks of the river wearing a straw hat to check the growth of wheat ears.

After nearly four months of planting, the wheat is now basically ripe.

At a glance, the wheat fields on the edge are like golden oceans, the ears of wheat are thick and full, and the number of fruits has not only doubled, but even the head is larger than any spring wheat he has ever seen before.Without waiting until the harvest is weighing, Seni can also know that this year must be a harvest year.

There is no doubt that this must be the work of the witch.

He accompanied his father for ten years to plant the land, naturally clear what ordinary wheat should look like, a wheat plant is divided into one to three ears, each ear can produce twenty or thirty fruits.The soil is fertile or not, which does affect the size of the wheat grain, but the fruit of the wheat ears is directly doubled?Other than the witch, he could not think of any other explanation.

There are many changes like this, such as the towering water towers in the town, which he had seen up close, and man-made alone could not carry a large iron barrel to an iron frame higher than a residential building, let alone almost overnight.Now the townspeople living in the community rarely need to carry their own bucket to draw water, as long as the faucet is unscrupulous, the cool well water will pour out of the pipeline.

The same is true of the "island" in the middle of the Redwater River, which has become more and more unobstructed since His Highness held a ceremony to take Miss Nanawa to the podium.Let an empty river emerge out of thin air a piece of land, which is obviously only a witch can do it.

He had asked the head of the town hall, Barrov, about the matter, and the answer was that he did not pay attention to it, and His Highness Roland had his own thoughts.

Well... anyway, the royal family always loves and the church to fight against His Royal Highness the Prince, even if the latter sends troops to fight against His Royal Highness the Prince, it must first win the first army to be qualified to speak, otherwise, the western realm can only be Roland Wimbledon's westland.

Isn’t that the best example of the Duke of Leen?

"Come, my lord," said the two serfs who weeded in the field, seeing Sene Nee Dalí, and immediately came forward, "you see, this wheat field can be harvested at once, so, I would like to ask you..."

“Do you want to ask the Lord if what you said before is valid?”

"Yes," said the serf, rubbing his hands with some nervousness, "can we really be promoted to free?"

As head of the Ministry of Agriculture, in addition to recording the best planting methods and counting the harvest, Seni has an important responsibility: to communicate with the serfs and to inform them of the policies of His Royal Highness and the City Hall in a timely manner.Although he did not like the countrymen who dealt with all day and mud, the Cavaliers' self-discipline allowed him to fulfill his task.

“Did you see the signs?”Seni reached for a banner next to the farmland.

“My lord, I... don’t understand...” The serf smiled awkwardly.

“Labor creates wealth, and labor changes its destiny,” he said, “that is to say, if you work hard to cultivate, you have the opportunity to be promoted to a free man, which is a promise made by His Highness and will be fulfilled.”

“Yes, is it?That's great!"

“When you become a free man, you can stay in the center of the town, have your own brick house, and you get the right to primary education, so you don’t have to ask me what these slogans mean.”Seni repeated the corresponding propaganda.

“Yes, my lord.”The serf nodded excitedly, "It's hot, do you want to go to my shed and drink a cup of cold water?"

“No, you have to go busy.”He waved his hand and watched the two of them bow their heads and thanked them for a long time before returning to the field to continue to busy their previous work.This is the most-heard question Seni has asked in the last month, and no matter how he preaches it, they will never tire of asking it again, for fear that the lord will cancel the policy in the blink of an eye.

Without going far, someone gathered up, "Hello, Mr. Seni, after the harvest and drying of these wheat, really only pay 70% of the money?"

Hu, he sighed in his heart, the number of times this problem appeared second only to the "free people promotion", ranked second, "the first year is indeed so, the future will only be less and less, if you become a free people, only need to turn over 20%, this is what we have repeatedly stressed."

"If only it had been better," said one of the tall men, touching the back of his head, "and the remaining 30 percent of wheat, can we—"

“It can only be sold to His Royal Highness, to eat it yourself, or to keep it.”Seni clapped his hands and asked them to call the serfs around them, "You hear, the border town forbids private food trafficking, whether it is sold to the local townspeople or to foreign merchants, which violates the law of the border town."If you do, you will not only be forfeited, but you may also be imprisoned.”

“What if the Lord pays only a very low price?”The tall man grumbled.

"Of course, this situation will not be the case, His Highness's acquisition of grain will be carried out at a stable market price, and neither the poor harvest nor the harvest will change significantly."So you don't have to worry about selling wheat and you can't afford to eat it, and you don't have to worry about harvesting too much to sell it or sell it at a low price."Seni stressed that “there is only one place in the whole border town where food can be sold, and that is the convenience market, and the market is managed by our town hall.”

“What is the price...?”

“Rest assured, Your Highness will personally announce it to you before the acquisition.”

Looking at the three-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-sugged serf, he licked some dry lips and continued to check the crop.It is not known that some of these people will keep their words in mind, but Lord Barov has clearly conveyed the strong will of His Highness, and the smugglers will be severely punished.

Just then, a young serf broke away from the crowd and turned back, "Sir," he gasped, "I want to ask you a question."

“Huh?”

“Do you know where Miss Maye and Ms. Irene are going?”He hesitated, "There has been no theatrical performance in the square recently, and I think... asking you about their recent situation, is it... sick?" 」

This is a fresh and interesting question, and Seni can't help but cock the corner of his mouth, and if he had not just seen them in the town hall, he really couldn't answer, "they went to the long song fortress."

"Ah," said the other, with a look of disappointment, "are they not going to stay in the border town?"

"Just go to the fortress theater and perform," he shrugged, "and now it's so hot that you can't bear to see them standing in the sun sweating?"In the autumn, they will continue to return to the square to perform the new play."

“That’s it, thank you, Lord!”

Looking at the back of the young man's contented departure, Seni couldn't help but think of himself - from the knight to the captive, and from the captive to the city hall official, the experience of these months can be described as ups and downs.He did not want to return to the territory of the Wolf family, where there was nothing but a dilapidated house and a piece of wheat, and to become a knight, but to get rid of the life he had planted with his father.

Not every knight can be as beautiful as the morning light, or as the duke has the best territory and retreat, and now he is paid more than he was when he was a knight, and there is still a vast space for rise.Maybe it’s time to pick up your parents in town and marry a girl and enjoy life.(Unfinished.
