Being a lord in another world begins with farming

Chapter 82 Howard and Son

Curranth on the side was well aware of the change in attitude of Howard and his son, but he was happy to see it happen, because it meant that the other party was not only interested, but also lowered his own status.

In order to recruit talents at the beginning, he wasted a lot of words. Not only did he have to attract the other party to follow him, but he also had to put up a high profile and not let the other party look down upon him. After all, he was preparing to introduce talents for the lord, not to invite the lord, and he could not let him. The other party feels that he has to do it, and it's not easy to grasp the details.

However, Curranth knew that the key to the great change in attitude of Howard and his son was the territory. Even he himself did not expect that the territory would develop so fast. It had only been a short time since he left, and the territory had transformed from a village into a decent-looking one. In this small town, his original choice was indeed the right one. He was also the one who took refuge. He was the one who led the way for Howard and his son. No matter where the other party climbed to in the future, this favor will always be there and can even be passed on to his descendants. .

"Let's go to the town center first, where the territory's office is. Although the lord is not often there, Ms. Maya spends most of her time dealing with territory affairs." Although Corens' tone was very calm, Howard pricked up his ears. Keep every word in mind.

And although it was just a sentence, Howard got a lot of important information from it. First of all, the lord usually didn't take care of things very much. The person in charge of territorial affairs was a lady, and judging from the attitude and tone of Baron Currens, although it was A lady is very capable and can at least convince others, so she should have a correct attitude when meeting her.

As for whether the territory is managed by a woman or by a maid, Howard has long been accustomed to this, because there are many more ridiculous things in the empire, not to mention serving a maid, regardless of ability, loyalty is no problem, and she is responsible for daily management. It won't have any impact.

At the same time, Howard also felt the kindness unleashed by Curranth from this sentence. Even though it was just a sentence, it saved the father and son from making many detours and prevented them from offending people they shouldn't have offended.

When you first arrive, apart from the lords, maintaining good interpersonal relationships is also very important. This is what Howard has learned after spending so many years at the border of the empire.

If he hadn't offended others when he was young and energetic, he would not have been suppressed for ten years, missing the golden period of his life and missing countless good opportunities. Therefore, he immediately responded to Kelunsi's kindness, and the relationship between the two parties has never been better. Entering the territory immediately takes you to a new level.

As Howard talked, he looked around the town.

He nodded at the shelf behind the solid wooden wall. It was used for soldiers to stand on to resist enemy attacks. There was something wrong with the layout of the arrow towers. If he were to arrange it, fewer arrow towers would be needed and the coverage would be wider. It's big and doesn't leave too many dead spots.

Apart from this, even he couldn't find any faults in other aspects, especially the soldiers who were responsible for patrolling and guarding the sentry tower. There was no perfunctory or distracted behavior at all. Every one of them was in high spirits and strictly followed orders. He was very envious.

Walking into the town, the streets here are straight and vertical, and there is a fountain at every intersection as a water source. People around are allowed to draw water. Obviously, the water source here is very abundant. From the perspective of defending the city, this is another rare opportunity. The advantages.

In addition, Howard soon noticed that the residents of the town followed the rules very well. Everyone walked on the right side, and pedestrians gave way to the middle of the road, allowing carriages and horseback riders to walk quickly. Everything was in order.

In addition, they are very particular about hygiene. No matter what clothes they wear, they will take care of themselves very clean. There is no dirt on their hands and faces, let alone urinating and urinating everywhere. The whole town is so clean that it is difficult for him to adapt.

This world seems to Owen to be very backward, but in fact it is very advanced in some aspects. For example, the empire has known the importance of environmental sanitation for a long time, so spitting in the city requires fines, and open urination is even more serious. They were whipped in public, and public toilets and bathhouses were prepared for the common people to prevent environmental sanitation from deteriorating.

However, these are only limited to towns. Most villages still look like medieval times. More than 90% of the population live like animals and only know how to work and pay taxes. Only in this way can it be more conducive for a few to rule the majority.

Howard, who was born in the empire, knew this, and the imperial frontier army also had high hygiene requirements, because once a large-scale disease broke out, non-combat attrition would be very serious, so the army paid great attention to environmental hygiene.

The various details in the town made Howard put away a little bit of the arrogance he felt due to his empire origin, and once again used his eyes to warn his eldest son Hogg, who was still staring at the patrolling soldiers, which made him a little confused.

Soon the three of them came to the center of the town. It was not a luxury place, but it was above the standard. From the details, it could be seen that the territory was not just an illusion. Howard nodded secretly, then adjusted his mentality and followed Currens to meet Ms. Maya. .

When he saw the two Teutonic warriors in front of the door, Howard froze, and his hand unconsciously held the hilt of the sword, but the smooth and free drawing movement of the sword was as if it was welded to death, and his instincts were desperately reminding him. If he moves again, he will die.

Corens, who was not locked into the Teutonic warrior's aura, hurriedly stepped forward and knocked on the door, because he knew that nothing he said would be of any use.

Sure enough, as Maya came in with a word, the almost solid atmosphere dispersed.

Howard, who was breaking out in a cold sweat, asked Hogg, who was almost exhausted, to stay outside, because from the moment he saw the Teutonic warriors, he knew that Hogg was not qualified to go in, even if he himself had to lower his profile.

But Howard didn't feel resentful, and was even filled with joy and urgency deep in his heart.

Here he will definitely be able to fulfill his ancestors' dream and truly become a noble!

What gave Howard confidence was not what he had seen and heard before, but the appearance of the Teutonic warriors.

Dou Qi has been around for who knows how many years. There are countless variations of various schools, but the original version of Dou Qi is recognized as the strongest. The purest Dou Qi is born from the extremely exuberant vitality by tempering the body to the extreme.

But it is very difficult to achieve this. Not only does it require superhuman top talents, but it also requires years of inhuman training to polish the body to perfection. During this period, a large amount of food and precious medicines must be consumed, so as to create a A terrifying killing monster.

Because of the difficulty, generally only the empire and the great nobles have the ability to cultivate them. Even so, they are regarded as very important trump cards and will not be used easily, but he actually saw two here.

Whether these two were trained by the lord here or given by others, they all represent huge development prospects, which makes Howard, who is eager to go further, feel excited.
