Heaven’s Intention

In late March, the cold air is still raging on people's skin all the time. The breath of spring has gradually come.

Not only is the breath in the air mixed with a few hints of spring warmth, even the ground is covered with a little bit of greenery.

As early as half a month ago, the snow on the ground had melted very cleanly, but the spring breeze was still cold, and in the mainland, the green grass that sprang out from the dark land was no more than It's a little bit, shallow.

It's just that the grass and leaves, when they are still weak, also have the power to make people feel happy.

Since a few days ago, the servants in Baron Rocas' castle have been busy.

Not for anything else, just because their Lord Baron is going to sea for the first time in a panic.

As servants, they not only have to prepare the clothes that the adults carry, but also choose attendants who can go to sea with the adults.

I heard that Treasure Island, where adults are going, has a warm climate. It was very beautiful, and all the attendants with some faces wanted to go with Baron Rocas. In the end, only eight attendants were selected to accompany him.

On the morning of March 20th, a group of guests ushered in at the pier in Yuanfan Town.

They are all brave, riding on horses, protecting a carriage and coming slowly.

After hearing the news, Sukar, the mayor of Yuanfan Town, came over. He said hello to Baron Rocas who got off the carriage, and then went to prepare the ship to go to sea.

Although it was Baron Rocas who visited Treasure Island, Baron Rocas, who had no boats, needed to temporarily borrow a large boat from Yuanfan Town. A large ship was given to Baron Rocas, and sailors and boatmen were all available.

Well, that's right. Looking at Sukar who was serving respectfully, Baron Rocas nodded and smiled back. After all, the other party was also a knight and a member of the noble class.

Lord Baron, your matter is more important. The wind direction is about to change. Please hurry up and get on board. Sukar looked at the sky and replied.

Seeing Sukar like this, Baron Rocas felt a little bit envious of Romon and had a good eye. At the beginning, it was not that I didn't have the opportunity to meet adventurers, but whether it was that Haiwawei or this Sukar, they were not very brilliant at the beginning, but after Romon gathered under the flag, they shined brilliantly, and the few people I recruited were all It is mediocrity.

Romon's vision is indeed good.

Only such a person is worthy of his precious daughter,

After the depression passed, Baron Rocas couldn't help but feel proud again.

With a soft acknowledgment, Baron Rocas walked towards the big ship unhurriedly.

Although he still looks so proud in front of outsiders, in fact, the aging of his body and the gradual weakness of his legs and feet have made it difficult for him to support himself.

When he stepped onto the boat, his right foot slipped, but the attendant helped him in time, so there was no mistake.

Old, really old, although he is only in his early fifties, he has always had a gloomy temperament. The physical condition is worse than imagined.

Baron Rocas sighed secretly in his heart, but he didn't stop on his feet. Seeing his unyielding appearance, Sukar who was on the shore under the boat shook his head slightly.

I have long heard that Master Luo Meng's father-in-law is stubborn, and he has dealt with him several times before, but now it seems that this temper is really hard to change.

Are the attendants sent to follow Lord Rocas all arranged? Seeing the big ship gradually leaving the shore, Sukar turned around and asked the person next to him.

The usual smile no longer exists.

My lord, it's already been arranged. I'm sure I can protect Lord Rocas well. Those people are all high-ranking personnel in the guard. The man replied with a smile.

Well, that's good. Don't look at our lord and Lord Rocas who are always at odds. If we quarrel, they are also relatives. Sukar seemed to see a trace of confusion in the man's eyes, seeming to explain, but also Talking to himself.

After finishing speaking, looking at the big ship that had gone away, he regained his smile, waved to the people beside him, and took the lead in striding towards the horse next to him: Let's go, there are still many things to do in the town. Let us deal with it.

After a swipe of dust, there was no one else on the shore.

At sea, Baron Rocas, who was out at sea for the first time, stood on the deck of the big ship, leaning on the railing. Looking at the vast sea, needless to say the horror in my heart.

It turns out that the sea looks like this. It's completely different from the feeling of watching it from the shore. It's completely different... He who guards the territory and has never been out to sea thought so.

Although the temperature at sea was warmer than that on land, Baron Rocas still had some headaches after blowing the sea breeze for a long time. He spent the rest of the journey in the cabin.

I don't know how long it took, and in the groggy, someone called outside the door: Lord Baron Rocas! Baron Rocas!

What's the matter? Baron Rocas sat up from the comfortable little bed arranged in the cabin and asked.

Treasure Island has arrived, sir, please disembark. The people outside replied.

Are you here? Wait a minute. After putting on his clothes and boots, Baron Rocas walked out of the cabin with a serious face, and came outside accompanied by his attendants.

Sure enough, a large island had appeared in front of him, the boat had docked, and a sturdy wooden ladder went down. With the help of his attendants, Baron Rocas walked down from the boat.

At this time, although there is still a hint of cold on the mainland. Spring is already blooming on the island.

Standing on the shore, Baron Rocas was surprised to see that the dock area had already been built, densely packed with buildings, wide roads, and a flat dock. The entire port was not only magnificent, but also neat and standardized. It is a bit larger than the scale of Yuanfan Port.

Lord Baron, how does it feel to go out to sea for the first time? Not far away. A handsome young man was standing in front of him, smiling. It was none other than his son-in-law, Romon, Viscount Tetashaw.

Well, it's okay. Baron Rocas replied coldly. However, he also knew that it was almost impossible to convince this man completely based on his earlier confrontation with Romon. The more he thought about it, he The feeling of depression in my heart became stronger.

As if seeing the displeasure of Baron Rocas, Romon was very cautious and respectful during the following accompanying process, coaxing the old baron into a happy mood.

You just said that there are two residential areas built inside? Take me to visit. Baron Rocas proposed.

You have traveled so long, haven't you...

I'm not old yet. Now whenever someone mentions this topic, Baron Rocas will immediately turn his face.

Well, Baron Rocas is now in good health, and he really won't be tired from the boat ride, so let's go take a look around the residential area right away. Romon thought it was funny, but he had a very serious expression on his face. , said the above words.

Baron Rocas nodded in satisfaction, and then got into the spacious carriage that Romon had prepared in advance. It was the first time for Weng and his son-in-law to sit so close to watch the scenery outside in a carriage. Uncomfortable, but after a long time, as the outside situation became more and more attractive to Baron Rocas, the atmosphere gradually became active.

Well, very good, not bad. At this time, the carriage had already arrived at the first residential area from the port. Looking at the neat planning area passing by, Baron Rocas praised him constantly.

The carriage continued on, and soon, it arrived at the second residential area. The lord's villa, lighthouse, commercial area, and castle here have not yet started construction. Judging from the conditions of ordinary residents' houses and streets, if the second residential area After it is completed, it must be more imposing than the first one.

I see that there are still many places in the second residential area that have not been completed. Why don't the craftsmen and workers continue to build? After reading these, Baron Rocas couldn't help asking.

That's right. Now, it's the time for spring plowing. I've sent those workers home to plow in spring. I can't delay their spring plowing. Although the island has accepted three batches of refugees, there are still not enough people. For this year's one The year's grain, everyone is now reclaiming wasteland, spring wheat is planted from late March to early April, now is a good time to open up wasteland. Luo Meng explained.

So that's true, that's true. You're right. I want to see how the reclamation works. Baron Rocas nodded after hearing this.

Luo Meng knew that his father-in-law came here, one was to find something for himself, and the other was to take a look at the construction of the island and learn from it.

They were all from his own family, and Romon had nothing to hide, so he whispered to the coachman, the carriage turned around, and headed towards the direction of reclaiming wasteland.

After walking for a while, before I even looked at it, I heard the commotion outside. I lifted the curtain and looked outside. Baron Rocas couldn't help but nodded.

The people who are reclaiming the land on Romon Island are the second batch of refugees brought in these days, and they are all working hard, showing great effort.

This is their future home. Naturally, they have to work hard. It will be troublesome if the spring plowing is delayed. Father-in-law, please watch here first, and I will give them some advice. As a druid, there is indeed guidance As far as farming is concerned, Romon went out after talking to Baron Rocas, and personally directed the farming.

Seeing his tacit cooperation with those people, Baron Rocas knew in his heart that Romon must have spent most of his time on the island here before he came.

After being busy for a while, after arranging some things, Romon returned to the carriage. Baron Rocas saw sweat on his forehead, and asked curiously: You are already a distinguished viscount, are you not afraid of being laughed at if you continue to do this kind of work? Also, although land reclamation is very important, you have a large area of ​​land. Territory, you shouldn’t care about how many days it will be reclaimed sooner or later, right?”

Luo Meng smiled: Other projects can wait, but the 10,000-mu wheat field can't afford to wait. After the sowing is completed, there is still time to start work and do other things. And wait another two months, five villages can There are enough manpower, and if there are more, they can be arranged on the land territory, where there is also a shortage of manpower. As for whether others make fun of it, I don’t care about that.”

Baron Rocas listened and was silent for a long time before he smiled softly: It's good if you can think like this, by the way, you promised me before that you would send me a batch of labor, how about it, the fifth batch How about the manpower, all of which belong to me?

Okay, the fifth batch of manpower is mine. I'll give it to you when I come around the tenth of next month. Romon smiled and agreed without hesitation.
