Wear to the Middle Ages to engage in construction

all day!Throughout the day, Dave saw suspicious curves on the corners of the Duke's mouth!

And little Lance is also very strange. He went out early in the morning to supervise the spring drainage and check the cleaning of the manure pile, while Edward looked at the official document and suddenly smiled softly... Evans accompanied Tang Fei Liu went out, and now he is more like Tang Feiliu's personal servant than the Duke.

In short, when Dave quietly went in to deliver the sweet biscuits, he saw the Duke's smile, and he almost lost control of his considerate butler demeanor in shock, and dropped the biscuits to the ground.

"This doesn't look like a cook's craft." Edward tried it casually, took another sip of the fragrant and smooth coffee, and said.

"Little Lance made it specially in the morning. He said he made too much takeaway food for himself, and I will give you an extra portion." This can be said to be extremely presumptuous, not like a subordinate talking to a boss, but like It was a tone familiar to those closest to him, as if he was sure that these words would not make Edward suspicious or unhappy.

And Edward's reaction was the same. He smiled. He didn't feel that the administrator was audacious at all. Instead, he felt deeply flattered. Even the coffee cup couldn't stop his deep smile.

Dave knew that this matter might have slipped to the place he was most worried about, but since Edward said that he could not marry a wife, he has firmly protected little Lance, and even allocated his future wife's bedroom to him. Dave knew that there was no way out of this matter.But Dave didn't understand why the progress was so fast. It was obvious that little Lance hadn't enlightened not long ago, and the atmosphere between the two was also very normal. Why did little Lance learn to be shy overnight, the Duke The adults look happier than the spring outside the window?

However, although Dave doesn't understand, it doesn't prevent him from doing his own job well-in fact, although the temple has always listed a man's love as a felony, it is actually very common among nobles. People are holy and pure, but when the power of the temple grows, too many careerists and speculators enter it. They climb faster than those who simply serve God, and they use unscrupulous means, so in these years After the evolution, the temple is no longer a loyal servant serving God, it has long been a place where power and greed are concentrated... In fact, the current temple may be the simplest place in the world: if you have money and power, you only need to serve Buy money and land, let the temple occupy the tax and believers in the territory, no matter what you do, the pope of the temple will still crown you as king, and the temple can also forgive your sins for you, so that you can still enjoy yourself in heaven.

If you are an ordinary person and cannot pay money, then the temple cannot atone for your sins, because you have offended the heavenly Father.

In short, as long as everyone doesn’t make a fuss, it’s fine, even if everyone knows it, as long as everyone pretends not to hear or see it—and Edward obviously has this ability to make everyone shut up. Queen Sephine has been doing well recently, and Edward, as the right-hand man of the next emperor, has also risen in status, so in fact, as long as he is soft with the people in the temple, there will not be too much danger in this matter.

However, what Dave is worried about is that Edward and the temple have been fighting against each other. If the temple really finds some excuses, he is afraid that something dangerous will happen at that time.

But since Edward insisted on this, Dave cheered up and restrained his servants first.

And...Dave looked at Edward, and suddenly said softly with emotion: "Your Excellency, I haven't seen you in such a good mood for a long time."

Yes, Edward has worked hard for half his life, and he is not humane. He, the butler who has been serving in the Duke's mansion, has been watching the whole process. Moreover, although Edward has the protection of Josephine and the love of Suna's godmother, these nobles A woman's love for Edward will not be truly selfless like a mother.

Because Edward is useful, because the tenacity and cruelty that Edward cultivated in suffering make up for the soft and not decisive side of them and their children, so they love him, but Edward himself understands that if he is useless, he is not Confidence, in addition to Dave, there are several people who are willing to stand by his side.

This is why Dave wants Edward to marry a wife as soon as possible. Edward needs the warmth of a real home and his own blood, so that he can have a home.

Although Edward did not choose a woman in the end, it was the first time in his life that he was so happy, so purely happy.

Dave couldn't bear to be disturbed.

Tang Feiliu didn't know about the castle's simple conversation and reaching a consensus. He couldn't stay idle early in the morning and made a lot of sweet biscuits—this is his habit. Whenever he is happy or unhappy, he likes to use cleaning and Making food for dispatch, after finishing, he realized that he had really done too much, and the first thing he thought of was that he hadn't cooked food for Edward for a long time!

Tang Feiliu arranged things with a blushing face, as if there was some beast chasing after him, and quickly left the castle.

Fortunately, the spring is getting warmer outside, and Tang Feiliu finally only needs to wear a shirt and jacket to go out - Evans is already familiar with driving a bullock cart at this moment, and the two of them have been relentlessly bribing the calf for a whole spring , so that the calf was very affectionate to the two of them, and he became more and more familiar with the way to go out to the village.At this moment, Evans didn't need to pay much attention, and the newly grown calf slowly led them to the village.

Of course, it was probably because the ox cart belonged to Tang Feiliu, so the villagers didn't know how to thank their administrator, so they could only frantically show courtesy to the magistrate's belongings. This ox loves going to the village, one of the reasons is probably that Because every time the people in the village saw it, they would quickly take out the fresh green grass and even some ryegrass that were cut at home, and raised it to become smoother and smoother, and to stand out among a bunch of cattle.

In fact, Edward didn't understand Tang Feiliu's habit at the beginning. How could his little Lance ride in the bullock cart that the inferior people ride?Even though Edward himself rode in an ox cart when he left the castle, it didn't mean he was willing to let little Lance do the same, but Tang Feiliu didn't want to go back and forth in the countryside in a carriage. People feel a strong sense of oppression.

Another huge reason is that Tang Feiliu is actually very afraid of the current horse.

The horses of this era seem to be Edward among the crowd. They are definitely not the horses seen in modern times, but the giant version. Simply put, a well-nourished, fat and strong horse—such as Edward’s mount— —When standing, it is about the same height as Edward. That’s right, a horse with a height of 1.9 meters can kick people to death with one hoof!Such a ferocious breed!

Even if Edward chooses the smallest carriage for ladies, Tang Feiliu can see the belly of the horse when he walks over, and he feels like a dwarf. The calf that Tang Feiliu carefully selected and the cow was born prematurely has been born since he was a child. After raising it, although it is getting bigger and bigger, the relationship with Tang Feiliu can be said to be the same as father and son, and it is not big, but it looks much fatter than the horse... In short, Tang Feiliu finally chose to be with this cow In and out every day.

And this move also made the villagers like this easy-going and simple administrator even more. At the moment, everyone was working in full swing. Tang Feiliu drove the bullock cart and looked over. The bread mill in the village was probably baking bread and emitting smoke.The flat land is full of fields that have been dug and drained, like green velvet blankets. In the distance, there are fruit tree forests. The drained streams have been cleaned up in an orderly manner. Fish ponds and lakes are connected. It won't cause too much impact... Of course, this is also because this place can be used as a city by Edward, which is a unique reason.

In short, according to the growth of wheat seedlings and potatoes this year, potatoes can be harvested twice a year. It is estimated that this year's bumper crop will greatly reduce the price of wheat.

This is very tragic for modern farmers, but in this era, besides eating the wheat they grow, they pay taxes. The bumper harvest will not disappoint these farmers, but will make them ecstatic.

Tang Feiliu's first goal this year is to make everyone stop eating black bread mixed with sawdust this year.I hope everyone can eat normal, delicious bread.

The second goal is to start building fixed toilets in the city after the big dung is consumed—no way, the whole city of York is too big and too messy, if all the water conservancy facilities are paved, all will be paid by Edward, It also has to wait until Edward has enough capital in his hands. Tang Feiliu dare not think about it now, and it is not so urgent.

But the third goal is what Tang Feiliu is going to discuss with Edward now.

"You mean, you want me to free all the slaves around here?" Edward looked at Tang Feiliu and asked with some doubts.

When talking about business, both of them were very serious, but Tang Feiliu was much bolder now. Although the two of them hadn't broken through the last layer of window paper, Tang Feiliu now trusted the Duke very much. In this era, if he If he really believed 100% that someone would not hurt him, Tang Feiliu felt that this person must be Edward.

So Tang Feiliu no longer respectfully went around in circles, but directly began to explain his own ideas to Edward - from the perspective of the future, the transformation from slavery to feudalism is progressive, and not only represents human rights. , and it still represents the progress of productivity. Slaves cannot occupy private property, and their subjective initiative is not as high as that of free people.

From a historical perspective, the emancipation of these slaves had a huge and important effect on society and the economy.Tang Feiliu now wants to build the entire Black Swan City, and make York and Black Swan City the most glorious and rich towns of the two empires... Then, what they have to do now is to make all the civilians have food and clothing as much as possible , Then start to be rich.

This road will take time, but after the summer harvest of potatoes and wheat, everyone's warehouses will be full at that time, and the potatoes can be planted for the next season immediately. This thing can be planted twice a year. Stubble, and companion crops such as soybeans, will basically allow people around York to start improving their lives this year.

And the harvest that the Lord Duke can get is even more so that the emperor may even look sideways, but this is not the point, the point is that these slaves must be liberated, not only can they become a new force, but more importantly, these slaves will release a signal— —Facing the signal of the whole territory.

When talking about this, Tang Feiliu was a little uneasy. He said in a low voice: "...Although it is a good thing for the economy, I am more worried about this. After these serfs are released, the serfs in other territories or the owners of the manor A slave might have a certain idea..."

Edward was silent for a while, and suddenly he said softly, "Lance, you are so kind."

Tang Feiliu was a little sad at once. Sure enough, everything in the history books is true, right?No matter how kind Eduardo is, humans will only consider issues from their own standpoint. Big slave owners usually don’t like the slave liberation movement, because it means that their property has shrunk. Even if they stand on the standpoint of the future, the entire city will be more For healthy development, but personal interests will also make these people block the correct historical path.

That's right, Tang Feiliu thought, he was too naive, he only thought about how to build the best and richest city, but he never thought about it, maybe what Edward wants is not a rich city, but his own richness?

"But, little Lance, if you are willing to see such a world, at least in the place I rule, I hope that all you see are beautiful scenery and smiles." When Tang Feiliu was lost, Edward suddenly spoke again. Looking at Tang Feiliu, he said softly, "After all, angels should live in a place like heaven."

This sentence made Tang Feiliu stunned for a moment, and then his face flushed suddenly. Edward saw his little angel's blue eyes widen, his fair milk face flushed like sunset, he was so shy that he even shivered. Red up.

It was a risky decision, but Edward was willing to work overtime for a few months to figure out how to do it perfectly. This is what his little angel deserves—his angel came to earth, walked to him In front of him, it has been hard enough, Edward hopes to build him a golden land that is not inferior to heaven, so that he can be happy and free, and be loved and admired by everyone.

Let this pure and easily frightened little guy slowly become comfortable and relaxed, never, never, never want to leave here.

Edward looked at Tang Feiliu with a faint smile, the hesitation and struggle in his dark eyes... at this moment, they gradually unified into a deep tenderness.

This is... his angel.
