Master Overlord - Chapter 355
After breakfast, Jenny immediately invited Eugenie to take a walk with her on the outer wall of the castle and bask in the warm sunshine in the morning.
Previously, because the Duke and pace were always silent, she had to eat her breakfast rigidly and didn’t hurry to explore the cause of their quarrel.
On the wall, holding Eugenie’s small hand, Jenny asked curiously, “good girl, tell me quickly why they quarrel? Peace talks should be a good thing.”
After a period of time together, Jenny has regarded Eugenie as the most familiar and trusted person besides her husband.
In her eyes, Eugenie’s sister is not only beautiful, lovely, lively and smart, but also has a mischievous spirit that her noble lady doesn’t have, like a boy. This is probably what pace said about the need for discipline, but she felt very good.
In the capital of seven rivers, she has seen too many noble ladies. Most of them have elegant manners, noble hobbies and decent conversation. Although this is also good, it inevitably makes people feel unreal, just like the masterpieces of carving masters.
Eugenie, like an elf in the forest, is hard to see any constraints from her except her nature, which makes her envy and unconsciously gives birth to a feeling of loving her.
Eugenie lay on the crenel of the city wall, looked at pace who left on horseback, and said in a surprised voice, “Jenny, look, pace, this guy left you and ran out of the castle!”
Looking down at pace, who rode away with two attendants, Jenny said, “he told me that he would go to the West Farm today to see the growth of wheat and come back in the evening.”
Eugenie turned her head, looked at Jenny with a warm smile and joked, “Hey, I saw it. He kissed you when he left! Pace used to be stupid like wood, but now he has such a move. Alas, sister Jenny, look at the charm of your bright face, which makes the wood tender!”
Hearing the speech, Jenny’s slightly plump cheeks fluttered a blush and stared at Eugenie in shame: “who taught you to say these words, like a little gangster, are those Knights! Also, you haven’t answered my question!”
Jenny can’t wait to do something for her husband and family.
Looking at her, Eugenie said carelessly, “what else can it be because of, here…” she pointed to the far away figure of pace below, “because of this. In short, this is not a great event, and you must not think about changing anything. Pace, a fool, has been poisoned too deeply and can’t be saved.”
Eugenie always describes pace as a “fool”. Although Jenny is slightly uncomfortable, she won’t correct each other. He knew that this was a sign of their deep feelings between their brothers and sisters, and that Eugenie was not deliberately belittling her husband.
Moreover, pace often calls Eugenie a “troublemaker”.
“What do you say?” Jenny asked puzzled. “Doesn’t father want pace to do these things? I think it’s a good thing.”
“It’s a good thing,” Eugenie said. “But you know, pace will inherit his father’s position sooner or later, because his father’s love wants him to spend more time and learn how to get along with the vassals and how to govern the territory. His father originally planned to let pace stay with him, but they always had a fierce quarrel because of their own ideas.”
“This situation began when he was a child. The difference is that when he was a child, his father taught him a lesson, but now neither of them disagrees with each other. Pace is busy with the farm. In addition to his pity for the serfs, he probably also wants to prove himself to his father. This is also the reason why his father is dissatisfied with his similar situation. In short, pace is too kind and honest, which complicates everything The contradiction is too simple. ”
Eugenie paused, looked at thoughtful Jenny, thought about it and added: “in addition, her father’s dissatisfaction with pace is also related to his too close relationship with the tustra family.”
“Tutela family?” thinking Jenny was a little stunned and looked at Eugene. “Don’t my father like each other? I’ve heard of this family. The fief is in the river collar in the northernmost part of the kingdom. My father once mentioned that the iron mines there also produce iron ore.”
“Yes, it’s the tutela family,” Eugenie nodded and added, “but you know too little. Not only my father doesn’t like each other, but the nobles in the kingdom. No one likes them, of course, including Duke farit.”
Jenny nodded slightly. Her father really didn’t like the tustra family, and there was much dissatisfaction in his words. And she also knew that the drinks produced by the other party also affected Ellis’s business.
“Pace has a friendship with the other Lord?” Jenny tried to ask, “are they friends? In addition, has the other party done anything angry and resentful? When I was a child, I heard that the tustra family guarded the northernmost fortress of the Kingdom and praised the other party as one of the most glorious families in the kingdom.”
She didn’t want her husband to lose his honor because he made bad friends.
Eugenie curled her lips and said, “there’s nothing wrong with this statement, but it’s just a statement on the surface, or the view of the scholars. In fact, the nobles privately call the tustra family watchdog, especially our nobles in the north.”
“In addition, Jenny, you know too little! Today’s tustra family is exactly the same as before. Under the leadership of the new count of lingfengbao, Shanghe collar abolished the farm, liberated the serfs, and implemented laws to liberate all slaves in the territory.”
Hearing the speech, Jenny subconsciously whispered in surprise and said, “liberate the serfs? He… How dare he do this? Is there any special reason? How can pace get close to such people?”
Slaves are the owner’s private property. No matter what the owner does, whether they are killed or starved to death, they are said to be cruel at most. In their western border, whenever the tidal corridor is exposed, in order to make the slaves fight bravely against the enemy, there will also be laws to liberate the slaves. For example, killing ten enemies can obtain the identity of their own people.
But the farm is the basis for the survival of the nobility! Even she knew that anyone who dared to do so would surely arouse the condemnation of all the nobles. Because it’s not just about how to deal with your private property.
Eugenie had anticipated Jenny’s surprised reaction.
“There’s a special reason. It’s to survive and better resist the animal tide. The Lord Arthur tustra there is a very different person. He calls many policies implemented in the territory reform. In short, it’s very complex, and I can’t explain it well. And the relationship between pace and him is more than just a friend, eh… To be exact, pace admires him very much. Now he’s in Nong The new farming method implemented in the village was learned from Shanghe. ”
“Worship…” Jenny chewed the meaning of the word.
She knew that her husband had been the king’s golden guard, and her father was also a Duke of the north, because she was very curious and couldn’t understand: why should a lord in a remote area make her husband worship! It is reasonable to say that in the future, the other party should be his husband’s vassal.
“Eugenie,” her eyes were firm, “I remember when I first came to Fengxi City, you mentioned each other in the carriage, said he was an arrogant man, and said you had seen him. Now, can you tell me about the count tustra? I’m curious about what kind of person my husband can worship. If it will damage the honor of pace, I will stop pace!”
Jenny looked serious. Although she was asking, she didn’t give Eugenie room to refuse.
Eugenie thought for a moment and said, “he is a dangerous guy. He has inherited the family title for less than two years. Now that guy should be only seventeen…”
Eugenie narrated bit by bit, from the previous situation of taking the lead in the river to the recent war. At first, her tone was flat, but gradually there were ups and downs. Finally, she smiled and ended with “he is a different person, you don’t have to worry too much, and you don’t have to stop pace”.
After hearing Eugenie’s story, Jenny was slightly stunned. The most direct feeling was that the count of Lingfeng castle was a legend!
In less than two years, we abolished farms, recovered the land of vassals, formed an army, built new towns, established schools, spread knowledge, reformed territories, and won several wars
Under this leadership, the territory also produces wine, perfume, paper, mirrors and so on.
The most incredible thing is that the young Lord invented all kinds of delicious food himself!
Eugenie also expected Jenny’s shocked reaction, but she didn’t expect what the other party said next.
“Eugenie,” Jenny stared into her eyes, “you… Don’t like this count tustra, do you?”
