Shuttle between two worlds: I have a miracle shuttle door

cotton town.

This is a village belonging to the Kirby family, with a population of about 300 people.

The town's unique geographical conditions are very conducive to the growth of cotton. Every household in the town is a "cotton farmer" who grows cotton for the Kirby family, hence the name Cotton Town.

Cotton farmers are a special occupation, belonging to "noble farmers", referring to free farmers who specialize in growing cotton for nobles, and their status is still higher than that of free farmers.

Different from the noble farmers, when the free farmers pay taxes to the noble lords, they not only have to pay grain, but also pay a certain amount of copper Nar.

If there is a war in the territory, the noble lord will give priority to forced conscripts from free farmers.

So don't look at the free farmers who sound very free. In fact, in the territories of the major nobles, their status is just one level higher than the serfs, and they belong to the fourth level in the social class.

But noble farmers like cotton farmers are completely different!

They have the knowledge, skills and ability to grow cotton, and they are rare technical talents.

In the eyes of cotton farmers, cotton can solve all problems.

They only need to hand over the prescribed amount of cotton each year, and they can be exempted from all other taxes.

Even conscription is the last option for them.

The life of cotton farmers is much better than that of free farmers. If there is a natural disaster and the cotton production is reduced, the noble lord will allocate a certain amount of food to keep them from starving to death.

No nobleman is willing to let his technicians starve to death!
In this era, knowledge is the foundation of survival and business. Although it is only a mere cotton plantation, countless free farmers are desperately trying to squeeze in.

This is the most accessible way for the lowest level civilians to change their destiny!

In addition to cotton farmers, there are millet farmers, flower farmers, hemp farmers (flax), grape farmers, Shannon (growing various spices) and so on.

Barley and wheat, of course, were excluded, which were grown by free farmers and were staple foods from the nobility down to the slaves.

These are technical talents in the soil, and they have the same status as those in breeding, such as grooms, cattlemen, dogmen, fishers and so on.

These two types of people are at the third level in the whole society, and the class above them is all kinds of craftsmen.

Such as blacksmiths, cobblers, tailors, brewers, bakers, carpenters, shoemakers, builders, etc.

These people can be said to be treasures in the hands of the major lords, and they are qualified to live with nobles.

Low-level nobles, these people live in noble castles, and high-level nobles, such as dukes and above, these people can live in special cities.

Everyone on the continent of Aliga knows that the strength of an aristocratic territory is one aspect of its top-level strength, and the number and quality of these craftsmen and major handicraftsmen in the territory are also very important aspects.

Because they often determine the prosperity and logistical support capabilities of the territory.

If you can reach this level, you will basically realize the leap of the class and take initial control of your own life.

Even if the nobles in the territory are attacked by other nobles, they will still not have any worries about their lives, they just change their loyalty to another noble.

No nobleman would dislike the increasing number of these people under him!

As for the first level, they are naturally knights, nobles, priests of the church, noble teachers, and noble doctors!

Of course there is no need to say more!

Speaking of Cotton Town, today, Cotton Town is as quiet and peaceful as ever.

The sun is warm and the scenery is pleasant!
Some elderly people sat at the gate of the town in twos and threes, basking in the sun and gossiping.

There is no division of months in the different world, and the timekeeping is "warm spring, hot summer, cool autumn, and harsh winter!"

Among them, the four seasons are divided into early, middle and late, such as early spring, mid spring and late spring, each of which is about 31-32 days.

Now that winter has just passed, it is still early spring, and cotton planting will not start until mid-spring, and there are still more than 30 days in the middle, which is early.

So for cotton farmers, this is also the last leisure before being busy!
Basking in the sun, the old people chatted about the sudden conscription of the lord a few days ago, and they all speculated who they were fighting with this time.

Some people speculate that they are nobles from other places. After all, in this land, the Kirby family dominates the other four major families, and it has been a long time since the five clans have fought against each other.

Some people also speculated that it was the demi-races from the Red Maple Fortress who came to fight. Many of these elderly people had experienced fighting against demi-races.

There are different opinions and speculations. You say what you say, each of you presents the facts, reasoning, and pointing out the country. It looks like they are the lords.

Just when everyone was talking about it, there was a sound of "tapping, treading" in the distance. From far to near, it became louder and louder, and the ground trembled faintly.

The complexion of the knowledgeable old man changed, and he recognized that it was the sound of an army marching. He immediately called everyone back to the town, and notified the guards in the village to put them on alert immediately.

Cotton Town was in a frenzy!
By the time the town guards were almost assembled at the entrance of the town, the army on the opposite side was only more than 300 bushels (more than 900 meters) away from the town!

At this distance, the army on the opposite side did not continue to march, but a person walked out of it and shouted towards this side.

"Mayor Warrenville, please come out and speak!"

This person was dressed in tatters, his body was thin and his face was pale, but his voice was surprisingly loud.

The people in Cotton Town could hear it clearly. A fat man with a big belly came out of the crowd and said in a deep voice, "I am Warrenwell, this is the Cotton Town of Viscount Kirby, where are you from the army?" ?”

Varenwell is a little flustered now, the strange-looking army on the opposite side seems to be full of malice?

But the other party only has more than 100 people, and there is no sword in his hand. There are more than 30 town guards on his side, plus the young and middle-aged people in the town, it seems that they are not incapable of fighting?
Thinking of this, Varenwell immediately gained confidence, his belly puffed up, and his tone was very rampant: "I don't care whose army you are in, immediately put down the weapons in your hands and plead guilty, and the benevolent Viscount Kirby will forgive your crimes! "

Here, after listening to Varenwell's words, Mick took a step back, and said to the leader of the army respectfully: "Your Excellency, Cotton Town refuses to surrender, and wants us to put down our weapons and surrender!"

The leader's face sank, he waved his hand, and ordered with a sneer: "Mortar ready!"

"put!"

boom! !

With just one shell, the opposite party directly knelt down and prayed for surrender. The leader turned to look at Mick: "Look, isn't this surrender?"

Mick was dripping with cold sweat, nodded again and again, and looked at the mortar with awe-filled eyes.

The same scene appeared in the vast territory of the five clans, armies were scattered, and villages and towns were suppressed and subdued!
Cotton Town was okay. Seeing that it was invincible, they simply chose to surrender. However, some villages and towns resisted stubbornly. They knew that they were invincible, but they still chose to defend. In the end, they were razed to the ground by mortars, causing countless casualties.
