"Madam, let me protect you and evacuate first."

In the dark castle, dozens of oil lamps were burning, making a crackling sound. Caroline Hill, who was blond and blue-eyed and beautiful in the high seat, turned bright and dark under the light of the fire.

"But where can I go? And what about the more than 1,000 people in Hongye City..."

Caroline's tone was melancholy and sad.

"We will protect you. As for these civilians, we can only let them fend for themselves."

The straight Marlow Knight standing below had a firm gaze.

"Is there really no way? We can ask the king for help..."

"It's useless. Except for Baron Charles, no one would want to come to this barren and remote place, and we are too far away from the king. Maybe the Red Leaf City will be gone before the letter of help reaches the king."

Hearing the name of Baron Charles, Caroline was silent for a while, and then said:

"You said, if I inherit the title of Charles, can I lead the Red Leaf City down?"

"Madam, please forgive me for being unreasonable, I don't think it's okay. Baron Charles can run Red Leaf City not only because he has the status of a nobleman, but more importantly, he has his own connections.

And even if we were able to take over Charles' contacts, we wouldn't have the qualifications to talk on an equal footing. Those greedy aristocrats must have known that we would be eaten by them with no bones left.

Baron Charles came to Red Leaf City for only three months. If he had been operating here for three years, things might have been different. Now those nobles who trade with Hongye City only recognize Charles. "

And the most important point, you forgot, the laws of the kingdom stipulate that unless the king personally proclaims it, women cannot inherit the title, not even a husband and wife. "

Looking at Caroline, whose face was a little gray, Knight Marlowe couldn't bear it, but continued:

"What's more, after the death of Baron Charles, the high-level people in Hongye City have become disillusioned. I don't think they have any thoughts of staying. Although they have bad character, they have the ability. Without their support, even Charles The baron is still alive, it is very difficult to let Hongye City survive this cold winter."

Knight Marlowe's tone was somewhat pessimistic.

After all, running a city is not about playing a family, not to mention this is a "big city" with a population of more than 1,000.

"If we give up, these innocent civilians will starve to death..."

"Madam, you don't have to be too pessimistic. In addition to our Red Leaf City, there are other cities in the Sunset Mountains. If these free people and tenant farmers are willing to be serfs, they may be able to survive the cold winter."

In times of famine and war, some free people will voluntarily give up their identities and choose to be serfs. Although serfs have a humble status, they are the basic labor force in the territory and are indispensable to the lords. Generally, they will not be hungry. die. Of course, the premise is that the lord is willing to buy you.

"Hey... Did I do something wrong..."

Caroline muttered in her own voice.

Marlowe hesitated for a moment, then said bitingly:

"Madam, there may be one last way..."

"what way?"

Caroline's eyes flashed with hope again.

"It's to sell Charles' title and territory to other nobles—"

Before Marlowe could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Caroline.

"no!"

Caroline's face turned a little red, I don't know if it was because she was too angry.

Marlowe shut up for a moment, he also knew that he was a little presumptuous, but as a knight, he would make any possibility clear.

"The Lady of the City Lord, Knight Baker and Lady Blanche ask to see you."

This is the sound of a soldier's announcement coming from outside the door.

"Let them in."

Caroline packed up her mood, hid her weakness, and tried her best to appear calm on the surface.

…

"Although it looks average, compared to other places, it's still pretty good."

Zhang Feng had moved to his new home before dark.

Speaking of moving, in fact, he has nothing but a backpack and spends most of his time on "which house is better to live in".

Picking and choosing all the way, Zhang Feng finally chose the largest one.

This is a house built of stone, with two floors up and down. It is quaint, with a wine cellar and a granary.

There is a spacious hall in the house. The design of the hall is also very particular. It is very tall. There are main halls and passages in it.

The main hall is equivalent to a multi-functional living room, which can be used as a bedroom, a studio, and a kitchen. The passage is used to store things and as an area for servants to rest, and the rest - turned out to be used to raise livestock and poultry!

Zhang Feng was really defeated by them, maybe this is the generation gap of the times.

As far as Zhang Feng knows, in the countryside of another world, no matter how small the house is, there is no such thing as living in the same room as poultry. Generally, a chicken coop or duck cage is specially made outside the house. Poultry enters the house.

Because they not only defecate everywhere, but also easily carry fleas and even diseases. Illness comes in from the mouth, washing hands frequently, loving cleanliness, etc. are the education that every child has received since childhood.

Zhang Feng couldn't understand the people here, but fortunately, this house has not been inhabited for a long time, and the feces left over have been dried, at least they don't look too disgusting.

After Zhang Feng selected the house, he asked Cotton to help find ten people and hire them for half a day at the price of 50 copper coins each to do a general cleaning of the house.

The price of 50 copper coins for half a day's employment is definitely a high price for these poor farmers, and it is such a job that has no technical content. It didn't take long for Keton to find ten people, including them. A family of four included.

Zhang Feng didn't care either, and told Cotton how to clean it up, especially in places where poultry and livestock lived in the past, and even digging three feet into the ground, watching the thick layer of feces being transported away, Zhang Feng was also in a good mood. a lot.

In the end, when the night came, the whole house was tidy up, not to mention a new look, at least it was much cleaner and tidy, and there was no peculiar smell.

Zhang Feng was standing in front of the window on the second floor, holding a bag of crispy noodles and chewing, and there were not many such "food".

Looking at the Red Leaf City in the night, Zhang Feng had some inexplicable feeling in his heart.

"I will be settled in Hongye City in the future, and I don't know if I can go back..."

Zhang Feng sighed, although he was just an insignificant little transparent in another world, but after living there for more than 20 years, he was really not used to coming to this strange world suddenly.

Looking at the empty room, Zhang Feng missed his small, but very warm nest.

"Driving..."

In the dark of night, someone was driving a horse-drawn carriage, carrying large and small bags in salute, and taking their family members as if they were about to leave Hongye City.

"Huh? This is to move? Didn't I say you don't need to drive people away!"

Zhang Feng was a little puzzled after seeing it. Although the central residential area here already belongs to him, he has already explained that Pan Xi does not need to drive people away. After all, it is not easy for anyone. , He doesn't want to be this bad guy, anyway, the other party will pay the rent, Zhang Feng also wants to experience the life of rent collection in another world.

It's just now that Pansy didn't take his words to heart.

"This Pansy..."

Zhang Feng was a little helpless, but gradually, he realized that things were not as simple as he thought.

More and more people took their families and brought their families and left with carriages, and some even formed a convoy, and several carriages were fully loaded.

Are these rich people also driven away by Pan Xi? Not quite like it!
