Chapter 152: Sweat and the Earth

"Good afternoon, Miss Gerwell."

In the courtyard of the mansion, the eldest young lady was sitting in the pavilion, flipping through the relevant history books in the southern border of the empire, taking simple notes from time to time. After hearing this greeting, she raised her head slightly curiously.

"Mr. Lubin?" Today, the financial officer of the territory is still neat and tidy, with a booklet and cardboard in his hand, recording some things at any time, and a copper needle pen in his chest pocket.

"Excuse me, Miss."

He bent over and saluted, and Iyena, who was behind Gewell, also looked at the elder brother curiously. He is very busy now, so how could he come to see the eldest lady here. Even if the report is usually made, isn't it a small gathering time in the afternoon, when Mr. Wuming and Mr. Gu Huasi will be there.

"There is a special thing to come here today. I would like to recommend a consultant who can bring a lot of help to the construction of the territory."

"So, can you tell me who it is?"

"This advisor is from the Plantagenet Dynasty in the East. She is a scholar from the East. I believe that her profound knowledge can help everyone in the territory. Now she is outside the door. If you allow me, I will let her come to see you. "

After listening, Gavier hesitated for a while, then looked at Iyena beside him. This maid has always been the representative of Mr. Wuming, and I don't know if the gentleman allows or cares.

"See you first, Miss." At this moment, Yiena seemed to suddenly remember something, and pinched her fingers together.

"OK."

Gavier nodded, Lubin clapped his hand, and then a guard came outside the mansion and let a girl who had been waiting for a long time walk in.

She was wearing an oriental-style robe, holding a thick book in her arms, a pair of glasses on the bridge of her nose, long light blue hair, and eyes like jasper, very gentle.

This girl looks about 17 years old, very young, and although she has a bookish temperament, it is really difficult for people to believe that she has a wealth of knowledge.

"Hello, Miss Gerwell." She held the book in one hand, lifted her skirt lightly in the other, bowed her head, and raised her head.

"Hello." Gavier looked at this special girl, she seemed to have a different kind of breath, like the fresh wind in the forest, making people fresh and comfortable.

"My name is Jialan, I come from Huiluzhou in the Plantagenet Dynasty, and I am a student of the Burning Sun and Feathers Sect. Perhaps you can understand it as a certain sect of mages who specialize in cultivating extraordinary people." Her voice was like an orchid, clear and soft .

"So it is." Gavier nodded, and then asked curiously.

"Is Miss Jialan studying in the Western Continent? I rarely see Orientals."

"Yes, because I encountered a bottleneck in my practice, I went out to travel and exercise. I passed by this place by chance recently, and I felt that some of the local things were very interesting, so I wanted to stay for a while."

"If Miss Gavier doesn't dislike it, I can also contribute to the construction of the territory."

"This is naturally welcome, but I can't make the decision alone on matters in the territory now. The specific arrangements may have to wait until the evening to discuss with everyone."

"It doesn't matter." After speaking, the girl nodded again.

After a few people chatted in the pavilion for a while, Lu Bin went to do his own business, leaving Geweier and Jialan to continue in the pavilion.

"This is black tea from the real estate, and I don't know if it suits Jialan's taste." Gavier asked Yiena to prepare new tea, and the two continued to talk.

Holding the porcelain cup with bright yellow patterns, Jia Lan took a sip and nodded in approval, which also made Gavier a lot happier.

"Jialan should be able to feel the difference between her hometown and this place. I heard that the dynasties in the east are very powerful."

"There are indeed many different places, such as food, customs, institutions, concepts, etc." Lorraine Hill summarizes a little.

"For example, in the east, there are specialized agencies and officials to handle various matters, but here the local lords make their own decisions, which sometimes feels confusing, and there are even big differences in the laws of different places."

"Although this allows the nobles to easily adjust according to the situation, the difficulty is all on the lord, and it is inevitable that some people will not care about one thing or the other, or not be meticulous." She didn't want to talk about too illusory ideals, but simply analyzed it from a factual point of view.

"That's true." Gavier thought.

"Then if Jialan, is there any better suggestion and method?"

"Of course there is. In fact, this is also the place I want to try during my travels, and that is how to build a unified and harmonious country." After saying that, Jia Lan blinked, and then covered her mouth and nose with a smile.

"Does it feel a little whimsical, but there is indeed a special knowledge in the East, and that is what it is about."

"Those sages always seem to work tirelessly to achieve that ideal, that ideal called 'Peace and Prosperity.'"

"I am occasionally affected by it, and I will think about some problems, but I also know that fantasy cannot solve problems, so I still have to explore and try step by step."

"Is such a grand ideal..." Gavier's eyes looked at the clear, pale yellow tea in the cup, and the spoon was gently stirring in the cup.

"How can it be called 'Peace and Prosperity'? I heard from my father that as long as it is human, there will be ugly and evil parts."

"Yes, people are also animals, and they will always seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. You can't let him damage himself and help others. This is wrong." The girl replied softly.

"If the environment encourages bad things, following the rules and doing good will only do harm and harm, and no amount of encouragement will do much.

very few. "

"It's wrong to accuse people of not being ancient by the decline of the world. It must have been the environment that changed first, and then gradually led to the current situation."

"But it's no use blaming the environment, it's reality, capricious and changing."

"So, in order to deal with this change, we need to have an inhibitory force that compensates for those that are damaged and brings them back into balance, and the state plays that role."

"But this is difficult, because even the emperor cannot know everything and adjust everything clearly and fairly."

"Yes, but not insurmountable."

"Just like a man doesn't have wings, doesn't mean he can't fly."

"What was impossible in the past may be possible in the future."

"What this generation has not accomplished, the next generation may not be without hope."

"In order to reach the sky, we can create our own wings with wisdom."

"In order to reach the other side of the dream, we can also create the ideal and perfect country in our hearts."

"If one person can't know everything, let more people help. If the living being can't detect all the confusion, then rely on tools and skills to achieve better results. If the world doesn't have such a thing, then create what we want."

"I think what I'm saying is obscure, but Miss Gerwell should understand something."

Gavier looked at this oriental girl, and countless curiosity arose in her heart. She actually vaguely understood the meaning of this passage.

In an ideal country, the emperor may not be necessary, and it is more likely to be redundant. If the nobles cannot manage the territory well, then use suitable people, tools, and methods to rule.

I'm sorry, I can't talk about the rest. Looking at Gavier who was thinking quietly, Roland Hill thought to himself.

As for the future, people actually have a lot of assumptions. When AI and electronic technology become more and more developed, many evil deeds in the past will slowly disappear because the soil for evil deeds has been lost.

The new technology can easily find the trail, thanks to this, how many Holmes have been unemployed.

Even if it cannot be completely eliminated, at least it is gradually improving compared to the past, isn't it? The only regret is that the lifespan of individual human beings is not long. Compared with the long river of civilization that spans tens of thousands of years, it is just a glimpse of a small splash.

Thinking back, Gavier at the table seemed to no longer struggle with these profound questions.

"Can we have dinner together tonight? I think I have a lot of questions to ask Miss Jialan."

The sun was gradually tilting, and it was afternoon.

Gu Huasi, Lubin, and the unknown knight came to the hall of the mansion one after another, where Gavier and Jialan were already sitting.

Looking at the slowly approaching 'Knight', Roland Hill shook his senses and was distracted.

Nowadays, there is no one in the armor, it's just an empty shell. She relies on the power of the sacred object to distract and manipulate, and imitates the magic fluctuations of the transcendent core, so that others are not aware of it.

There are also several people who know the truth to help cover, so there is no need to worry about being exposed.

After sitting down, Lubin and Gavier introduced Xia Jialan, a scholar from the East, to the others. Gu Huasi and the 'Unknown Knight' nodded, expressing their approval, and then several people reported and discussed the events of the past few days.

"I received news from here that the war in Chixin Province is over for the time being." Gu Huasi said the news that he finally obtained.

"It is said that the military mobilized 60,000 troops and several elite corps to suppress the resistance of the Baska family."

"However, according to the news, the little princess of the red dragon still survived the battlefield this time and fled to an unknown area."

"Now the imperial army has begun to increase the search team, and inspected many provinces in the southern border. Many nobles have also been summoned and held in the provincial capital as hostages to prevent the local rebellion from the descendants of the red dragon."

"It is estimated that this will bring a lot of obstacles to our work." Lubin on the side pushed down his glasses and explained briefly.

"Because the search will also find those colleagues, and their identities will also be sought after their identities are revealed."

"So time is a little tight, we have to prepare early."

"About this, I think I might be able to provide some help." Jia Lan (that is, Loren Hill) raised Bai Hao's wrist.

The girl took out a sheet of paper from the thick book in her hand and spread it out on the table.

"This is the Eastern Dynasty, the training method of the 'Bilin Army' and the method of building supporting weapons."

[Bilin Army] (Evaluation: Silver Rank): In ancient times, there was a royal forest army in the kingdom of scorpions. At that time, the people worshipped the sacred wood and the jade dragon, and the soldiers who guarded the sacred wood used a kind of jade-like scale armor to equip themselves. Hence the name.

Official members of the Bilin Army are all natural Sequence 4 or Dragon Sequence 4 or above, and have acquired two skills [Shenmu Changsheng lv.3] and [Jade Scale Body Protection lv.3]. Defense is an army with very strong combat power. If it is matched with corresponding weapons and armor, after forming a formation, it can be comparable to an ordinary Sequence 5.

[Blade of Jade Steel] (Excellent Silver Level): There are five styles of knives, swords, halberds, Ge, and axes. The color is like jade. In fact, it is an extraordinary steel with special craftsmanship. Armor Break lv.2] Two special effects.

[Bilin Armor] (rare silver grade): The armor is also made of jade steel. The outer layer is made of jade-colored scales, which resist sharp weapons. Shock and blunt weapons, with [Solid lv.

2] [Buffer lv.2] [Temperature lv.2] Three special effects.

Because of the withering of Jianmu in the past, such an army of imperial forests naturally gradually disappeared, but the girl currently has the fruit of Jianmu and the power of the Witch of Plenty, so it is not difficult to cultivate the sacred tree again.

In addition, the special steel required for forging can also be generated with the sacred item [Chopping Iron · Stowett].

In order to avoid suspicion, Roland Hill specially did not use the various crafts and military systems of Crancia this time, but adopted the arms of the Eastern Dynasty. Although some of these skills are somewhat outdated, it is fortunate that after her deduction and improvement during this period of time, It should be enough to adapt to the current battle.

"These are the training plans for the elite corps. As for the ordinary corps, I personally recommend the use of new-style muskets and a unified arrangement." The girl explained.

"It looks really amazing, but we don't have that much budget now." Gavier shook his head helplessly, remembering the little wealth left in his family.

"In this case, I think I can solve it." The silent knight on the side finally spoke.

Two weeks later, a caravan came to the Viscounty of Vilani.

"Hello, is this the Mountain Cherry City?" A business lady stepped out of the carriage and greeted the peasants beside her.

"Shan Ying? This is George Town." He put down his hoe and wiped his sweat.

"You idiot, have you seen the announcement posted by the adults at the city gate recently?"

"Yes, this is the City of Mountain Cherry Blossoms, because the eldest miss likes the cherries we plant, haha." He seemed a little proud.

"If that's the case, then that's right. We belong to the Roentgen Chamber of Commerce." The merchant lady has light brown skin, wears dark red clothes, and has a woven shawl on her shoulders. She looks a bit elegant, but also Not too prominent, very approachable.

"Because I received a letter from a friend recently, I shipped a lot of things here. May I ask where is the local lord?"

"Well, right in the city, the most lively place is the lord's mansion. Recently, people go there to report and receive various things. It's easy to find."

"Is it the distribution of food?" Shalin was a little curious. Recently, there have been many rebellions in fiefdoms, and food is in great shortage.

"Yes or no, in fact, it is mainly used for various tools to reclaim the land, but as long as you work hard, the lord's palace will distribute food as a reward." The farmer explained, and then showed a slight smile.

"It's much better now than in the past. It's all sent on the same day. Even if you don't go today, as long as you report it later, it will still be made up for you, so don't worry about missing it."

"Thanks to the eldest miss, our family has endured the most difficult time, so you don't have to worry about being hungry anymore."

"But the eldest miss said it wasn't her fault, which made us feel quite confused."

"Well, the eldest lady is a good person anyway. Now the lord's mansion is all good people, that powerful knight, Uncle Guhuas, Mr. Lubin, oh yes, and the lovely Miss Jialan, they are all very good. people."

After speaking, the farmer pointed to the field behind him.

Under the verdant hillside, a small town built of white stones stands quietly, and outside the city are square fields. It can be seen that many of them have been reclaimed recently. The local residents walk among the fields, diligently planting and watering. Although he looked busy, a different kind of vitality appeared in his eyes.

[The sweat of farming will bear fruit]

[The bunches of wheat ears in the hand are the proof of the friendship between man and the earth]

[Even if no one agrees...but I still see it]

[For me, everyone will blossom and bear fruit]

[Precious children, there is not much I can do]

[But I will stay with you. Because, I want to commend your efforts]

——The Witch of Abundant Fruit, Artatis

What is happiness? It is probably that after hard work and sweat, equal fruits are harvested.
