Working Prophet

The former Weiting family was as famous as the Figuerola family, the lord of the West. Together with the Figuerra family, they were included among the twelve nobles of Lionheart Castle.

It can be said that they are standing at the pinnacle of power, but they are still not satisfied and want more. They even peeped at the Beast Crown of the Vespasian family.

The Wetting family spent a long time planning and preparing. They secretly gathered a group of dead soldiers and bribed people around Edward II. They wanted to launch a palace coup. They thought they were foolproof, but they didn't expect that the news was leaked the day before the incident.

Those whose families stayed in the capital were wiped out by the Imperial Forest Army.

When the news was sent back to Crab Point, Hilda, the Patriarch of the Wei Ting family, hurriedly mobilized an army of 30,000 in just ten days.

However, the composition of this army is very complex. In addition to the Weiting family themselves, there are also some vassals who were summoned, dozens of mercenary regiments, slave armies, and even pirates.

Even many of the vassals of the Wei Ting family were not optimistic about this chaotic army and were unwilling to fight side by side with those mercenary pirates.

Hilda had no choice but to divide her troops into two groups. She handed over the vassals and the family's own troops to her eldest son to go first, while she stayed behind to continue to rectify the remaining people.

As a result, before Hilda could organize her team, news came from the other side that her eldest son had been defeated and captured.

After only five days, Hilda knew that the situation was over, so she stopped making unnecessary resistance, paid some money to send the remaining people away, and took the initiative to open the city and surrender.

Including the time Hilda spent recruiting people, the rebellion only lasted for a short fifteen days. It looked more like a farce, but the consequences were serious.

His Majesty the Emperor was furious. Except for the women who had married into the royal family and other families, almost all the members of the Weiting family were wiped out, and even some side branches were not spared.

However, after Edward II chopped off the heads of Hilda and more than 40 other people involved, his anger probably subsided a lot. In addition, many people came to beg for mercy during the period, and he finally calmed down.

He didn't continue killing people, but he didn't say what to do with the remaining people. They were just thrown into the dungeon and locked up for five full years.

It was not until recently that the dungeon was not enough, and His Majesty the Emperor remembered these remnants of the Weiting family again, and ordered them to be stripped of all their noble titles and properties, and exiled to the Western Region to fend for themselves.

It is said that more than a thousand members of the Weiting family were imprisoned and had to be detained separately. Not only were the dungeons in the royal capital filled, but there was no room for newly arrested prisoners from several nearby cities, and they even had to build new ones. New dungeon.

Among these people, only less than 120 people survived and successfully reached the Western Territory.

These more than a hundred people have also become hot potatoes.

After all, the Weiting family was involved in a rebellion, and this kind of thing has always been the most feared by the royal family. Even if the masterminds have been killed, the remaining people cannot be easily freed.

If anyone keeps such a group of rebels in their own territory, they are guaranteed to make His Majesty the Emperor unhappy. Moreover, the nobles in the Western Region are not sure how to deal with these remnants of the Weiting family.

After all, the other party was once the top wealthy family in the empire, and even now, many nobles, including the royal family, are still related to the Wetting family. This is why Edward II did not kill it and eradicate it.

But if these guys live a good life, who knows if the emperor will be unhappy again.

So how to place these people has become a problem.

Ilea refused at first, but she couldn't stand it anymore and it was time to reap the rewards.

Forget it, the lizard people had killed a lot of people and destroyed a lot of crop fields before, so there were still enough people in the territory to harvest the crops. But in two months, it will be time to start farming again.

If wheat and rye cannot be planted in those empty fields in September, the production will definitely be reduced again in June next year. This is all money.

Since getting the news about the refugees, Miss Rabbit has been struggling for several days and has discussed it with Fausto and others many times.

Finally, we came to the conclusion that if we don’t want these people from the Weiting family, and we want to recruit freedmen through normal means, the most optimistic estimate is that we will only be able to recruit a few dozen people by September, which is far from enough. previous losses.

So the girl finally made the decision, "Yes, why not? Since His Majesty the Emperor dares to send people here, there is nothing we dare not accept."

"But what these people committed back then was treason. If they do anything wrong in the future..." Some people are worried.

Ilea said, "We can't defeat more than a thousand lizardmen. How can we defeat more than a hundred nobles with fine skin and tender flesh?! If anyone dares to cause trouble, just arrest them."

"Speaking of nobles, I remembered another thing," the new steward Yago said, "Do these people from the Weiting family know how to farm?"

As soon as he said this, everyone fell silent.

But soon Miss Rabbit spoke again and said fiercely, "Learn. If you don't know how to farm, why don't you learn? The group of lizard people taught by Shuangxiu also don't know how to farm. Merlin specially invited a few old farmers to teach them. People like the Weiting family don’t know how to plant, so I can find someone to teach them, and tell them directly that if they don’t plant well, they will starve. I wonder who doesn’t plant well?”

Everyone in the Arias family looked at each other in dismay.

That's true, but it always feels unreal to my ears when I hear it.

The Weiting family, which was arrogant at the time and was known as one of the twelve nobles of the empire, was now reduced to living in the green fields and farming for the little-known Arias family.

If you don’t do well, you have to go hungry. This is really... five years ago, no one would have believed it as a joke.

"You just think too much." Ilea added, "As long as you go to the ground and work for a while, you will be exhausted every day, so naturally you don't have time to think about any messy things.

"As for worrying that His Majesty will have a bad impression of us because of this, there is no need. Your Majesty has no impression of our Arias family at all. If anything happens, Marquis Cullen will be the first to take the blame."

The girl's last words touched everyone present.

Indeed, with the Arias family's reputation in the empire, there is no need to worry about the political influence.

Why should we care about something that doesn't exist at all?

What everyone wants now is to live peacefully in the green fields, and they don't think about developing to the royal capital. Why should they look forward and backward and just take people over to farm the land?
