Your Majesty, the Spectacle Has Missed the Country!

Chapter 10 This is all food (Part 1)

Under the intimidation of the soldiers and the temptation of the copper coins, the census, which had been difficult to carry out at first, suddenly became very smooth.

The earl officials responsible for registering information only need to move a stool and sit at a predetermined location, and countless civilians will line up and rush to register. There is no need to knock on the door door to door anymore.

Old Ford felt much more relaxed for a while. He only needed to walk around the registration location from time to time and show up a few times.

Soon, three days passed by and the census was successfully completed. However, when Old Ford stood in front of a carriage filled with parchment, he was really not happy.

What a waste!

Old Ford felt a pain in his heart and liver. The thought of his master wanting to build a garden already made Old Ford very sad. But at this moment, the large cart full of vellum made Old Ford even more dizzy.

This is all money!

Where can the parchment paper used for writing be obtained so easily? This cart of parchment paper and kraft paper is almost the entire inventory of Idar City...

In one week, the paper accumulated by several generations of earls was used up, and such wasteful behavior was actually completed under his meticulous supervision. Old Ford suddenly felt that he felt a little sorry for the deceased previous earl... This coffin I'm afraid I won't be able to hold it back anymore...

But now that the matter was over, Old Ford could only cry and lead the soldiers to escort the carriage worth a thousand gold back to the castle. Unexpectedly, he didn't even see Bruno's face at all.

"Returning to the housekeeper, the Earl took Lobida and a few personal guards and servants out of the city this morning. He said he would come back in a few days..." said the guard at the gate of the castle.

"What? Where did you go?" Old Ford was surprised.

"It seems to be going to the seaside." The guard said with some uncertainty.

"The beach? What are you going to the beach for?"

"It seems that Luobida told the master that there is a lot of food at the seaside, and he is going to the seaside to find food..."

Old Ford only felt that his chest was a little tight. The Earl took Sabi out of the city, and came back with the idea of ​​building a garden. This time he took Lopida out, who knows what he might do. Something shocking and shocking.

I thought that Luobida was an honest guy, so after Shabi left, he recommended Luobida to his master. Unexpectedly, this guy actually encouraged his master to go to the beach to look for food...

What food can be found by the seaside? Everyone knows that the serfs and civilians living by the sea only rely on the weather for food. They are hungry all day long, all depending on whether they can catch a few fish that day...

etc……

My master...maybe he wants to go fishing in the sea...

Thinking of this, Old Ford suddenly felt that his whole body was cold, his limbs were trembling, and he was so scared that he almost couldn't breathe...

"Hurry...go...go and catch the master back! The sea is very windy and choppy. What if the master suddenly gets into the sea...and the waves...what should we do..."

Before he finished speaking, Old Ford's legs weakened and he fainted from anger. There was chaos at the gate of the castle.

…

On the path east of Idar City, a group of people were riding horses and walking slowly.

"Master, how can there be food on the seaside?" the new valet Luobida said a little aggrievedly, "If the old housekeeper really thinks that the young man told you, he will definitely skin the young man when he returns. ah……"

Luobida thought that being able to serve his master here was the best job, but he didn't expect that he would be burdened with a lot of trouble just a few days after taking office.

Bruno looked at Luobida and said calmly: "Don't talk nonsense. This is clearly my Lord's intention to promote you. Think about it, if you really find food from the seaside, wouldn't this give you a fortune?" Big credit?"

"But……"

Bruno glared at him and said, "Why, do you also want to accompany Shabi to shovel shit?"

Luobida's heart trembled, and he quickly said seriously: "Back to the master, I think... there is indeed food on the seaside."

"That's right. My Lord has always been a generous person, and I can listen to other people's opinions and suggestions..."

"..."

Idar City is located in the easternmost part of the mainland. Just twenty or thirty miles further east is the long coastline of the mainland.

In this world, people's exploration and understanding of the ocean can be said to be extremely scarce, and they do not pay enough attention to the ocean. Even for many nobles on the mainland, the ocean is a natural barrier that limits them. They are satisfied with the wealth that the land brings them, and are unwilling to explore the unknown hidden in the sea.

It is precisely because of this concept that villages near the seaside are particularly desolate, and a large number of civilians and farmers can only rely on very backward fishing techniques to survive.

But this does not mean that the villages near the seaside are less populated. On the contrary, in Idar, about one-fifth of the serfs in the entire Idar territory are gathered among the dilapidated villages scattered along the seaside.

Their only job is not farming and fishing, but boiling salt!

Salt is a necessity in people's daily lives, UU Reading www.uukanshu.net The production and sale of salt almost supports most of Idar's tax revenue and is the most important source of funds for the Stuart family.

On a certain level, salt is not only an indispensable condiment, but also an extremely precious resource.

An adult needs to consume about 6 to 8 grams of salt every day to replenish their physical strength and maintain osmotic pressure inside and outside cells. It is an indispensable substance for the normal development of the human body.

It was precisely with the high profits from selling salt that the Stuart family was able to slowly recover after Bruno's squandering.

Gradually, when the sky gradually darkened, Bruno could already see the looming smoke in the distance and the low villages clinging to the horizon, so he drove the horse galloping away.

Luobida and the guards quickly followed closely behind, and the country road was filled with dust for a while.

In the village.

The old man led the common people to pay homage to the young earl. The obedient serfs were so frightened that they lay on the ground and did not dare to raise their heads for fear of being noticed by the noble noble lord.

Bruno sat on the ground unceremoniously and formed a circle around the campfire with his attendants.

The serfs in the village dedicated all the fish they had finally caught, and then struggled to sleep while chewing black bread mixed with weeds and gravel.

Bruno looked at the burning bonfire and couldn't help but smile bitterly. In the eyes of these serfs, he seemed to have played a less positive role.

Eating fresh grilled fish, Bruno felt that these serfs really did not get the treatment they deserved.

"In a few days, they will probably be able to have a full meal..."
