The years when I was a nobleman in the world of Terra

Of course, this is just Charlotte's personal opinion, and he really doesn't know why the farmers in Casimir prefer winter.

"So, what is the reason?"

Charlotte asked a question.

"Is there anything special about winter for farmers?"

"That's probably because the price of grain in winter is higher than ever."

Shi Huaiya, who talks about business, understands business in business, and has a real in-depth understanding of business, immediately reacted.

"Butler Almond, do you think I'm right?"

"Miss Swire is absolutely right."

Butler Almond nodded slightly.

"Farmers can only exchange the grain they harvest for other necessities in winter."

"Have Casimir's taxes reached this level?"

Charlotte murmured softly.

"Didn't Viscount Charlotte know about it before?"

Butler Almond's expression was a little surprised.

"I'm not the kind of traditional aristocrat who mainly manages fiefdoms."

Charlotte explained.

"My source of income is more concentrated on my other personal properties."

"Then, allow me to explain a few words."

Before getting into the carriage, he collected some Longmen coins from Charlotte, so Butler Amond was also willing to answer Charlotte's doubts about this kind of matter.

"Casimir's tax has been seven to three since the founding of the country."

"Farmer Seven?"

"Viscount Charlotte, you are really good at joking."

Butler Almond was startled, because he didn't expect Charlotte to say such a thing.

"Seven gentlemen, three peasants."

"My master is quite kind. In the master's fiefdom, the ratio is generally six to four."

"The issue is……"

In fact, what Charlotte wants to say is that after a year of hard work, the farmer can only get four floors from the field. Isn't it something to be happy about?

But thinking of the nobles' absolute ownership of Casimir's land, Charlotte understood why the ratio of six to four was already a relatively benevolent ratio.If the nobles are willing, they can even make the peasants work hard for a whole year without getting anything.

You said that the peasants have nothing to gain, why should they help the nobles to cultivate the land?

When the leather whips in the hands of the nobles are raised, it is not something the peasants are willing to do.

After thinking about this point, Charlotte also figured out why winter is a happy day for the farmers of Casimir.

Poor shirt is single, worrying about charcoal and wishing it will be cold.

Although the occupation described in the ancient poem is slightly different from the scene that Charlotte meets now, the meaning they want to express is exactly the same.

"Forget it, don't watch it, a group of civilians are nothing to look at."

Charlotte pulled down the curtain of the carriage, and changed the topic somewhat abruptly.

"Butler Almond, Lord Ferid, what kind of person is he?"

"Viscount Charlotte, I can't answer your question."

Butler Almond shook his head.

"First of all, I am not qualified to evaluate the master, and even if I am qualified to evaluate, I will only evaluate the master, he is a good person who does everything he can."

"From the heart?"

Then Butler Almond chose to remain silent.

A few minutes later, he spoke again.

"I have always firmly believed that the master's love for Casimir will never be lower than anyone else."

Butler Almond said lightly.

"Mr. Charlotte, my lord hates the Ursus people, and at the same time hates everything related to Ursas."

"Well, then what?"

"Then there are some things that the master once complained to me."

Did Duke Ferid complain to Butler Almond?

Can this kind of thing be said to a stranger whom he met for the first time?It should feel impossible.

Charlotte also didn't think that the thousands of Longmen coins he gave out would allow Butler Almond to confide in him and talk about everything.

First, he exchanged glances with Swire and Platinum, and then Charlotte spoke softly in the direction of Butler Almond.

"Thank you, Butler Almond."

"It's okay, it's not a particularly important thing."

Butler Almond continued.

"Master, his current situation is actually a little delicate."

"What's the subtle reason?"

"Because the master, he doesn't want to be a pawn in the hands of any prince."

Butler Almond's voice was not loud, but between the lines still made the atmosphere of the carriage somewhat depressing.

"The master has made it clear that he will only be loyal to Casimir and the royal family of Casimir in his life, but the two princes seem to be not at ease with the master."

"Is this the only one?"

"There's only this."

After saying this, Butler Almond opened the front curtain of the carriage, and sat directly beside the carriage driver without saying anything.

What Butler Almond wanted to express was not difficult to understand. He probably wanted to leave some private space for discussions between Charlotte and the three girls.

"Platinum, what do you think of this information?"

Charlotte stroked Platinum's long ears, the soft but elastic touch, coupled with the furry touch, made him a little bit fond of it for a while.

"Master, it's very itchy."

Platinum first showed a resentful expression, but she didn't intend to stop Charlotte. The assassin girl closed her eyes slightly and leaned against the man's shoulder.

"In today's Casimir political arena, there are mainly two factions, one is the main war faction, and the other is the main peace faction."

"There are still such things as the main combat faction in Kasimir?"

Charlotte blinked. If Platinum didn't say anything, he thought that almost all the nobles of Casimir were advocating a truce with Ursus.

"There aren't many main combat factions, but there are still some."

Platinum replied.

"The Duke Ferid we are about to visit is the leader of the main battle faction, but because the old duke and the two princes have no intention of going to war with Ursas, so the main battle faction has also suffered. Quite a bit of repression."

"Didn't everyone in the peace faction think that the Ursas will never give up the big fat of Casimir easily?"

Charlotte sighed.

"How can you allow others to snore on the side of the couch? Don't they understand such a simple truth?"

"Such a simple truth, as long as it is a slightly normal person, it must be able to understand. But understanding is one thing, wanting to do it is another matter."

Not paying attention to the butler Almond who was sitting with the carriage driver, Sweiyar said carelessly while playing with his fingers.

"For most of the Casimir nobles, their personal wealth is based on the oppression of civilians. Although the lives of civilians are not so good in peacetime, they can still survive. Once war breaks out, So the fields are surrounded by flames of war, Mr. Charlotte, do you think that the Casimir nobles can still maintain their current lives?"

"So in order to maintain the current life, do you just muddle along like this?"

"Otherwise, what else can I do?"

Shi Huaiya asked Charlotte back.

"It's not that I look down on most of the Casimir nobles."

Little Huniu's words paused here, and she whispered in Charlotte's ear.

"So my personal suggestion is, Mr. Charlotte, you still need to make the necessary preparations as soon as possible."

"So, what should I prepare?"

"Sufficient ammunition."

Shi Huaiya didn't want to hide his intention at all.

"During the previous negotiations, I once gave Mrs. Charlotte a contact information, and I think it's almost time to use it now."

"Penguin Logistics?"

"Yes, it's enterprise logistics."

Shi Huaiya nodded slightly.

"It's time for those guys who carry life and death to come to Casimir."

……

Enterprise Logistics, an express company established in Longmen, is famous for "anything can be transported as long as the money is enough".

Penguin Logistics' company is not large in scale, and it is not well-known in itself. Even the natives of Longmen, not many have heard of the name of this company.

But for Charlotte, he is really familiar with the name "Penguin Logistics", especially every member of this logistics company, he has a deep understanding of it.

"Reverse Harem Heroine" Texas, "Sakota's Biggest Problem Child" Neng Angel, "Breadman" Croissant, "Ai Shalu" Kong, and the mysterious "Blue Angel" Mostima , and the rich second-generation intern Bai Song, this logistics company does not have many employees, but each of them has super strength.

And Shi Huaiya's suggestion to Charlotte is to entrust Penguin Logistics to help transport a large amount of arms from Longmen to Casimir.

As for how to transport such a large amount of arms, how to enter the territory of Casimir without being discovered by the two princes, Shi Huaiya made it clear that there is no need for Charlotte to worry about this, because as long as the money is enough, Penguin Logistics I will find a way to solve the problems that will arise during transportation.

Since Shi Huaiya has already said that, Charlotte naturally has no reason to refute. After this meeting is over, he will ask W Sauce to help contact Penguin Logistics.

But for now, let's focus on what's about to happen right now.

Under the arrangement of Butler Almond, Charlotte and his party managed to meet the owner of the castle, the leader of the war faction nobles, Duke Ferid, without waiting for a long time in the reception room.

As one of the only three dukes in Casimir, he must be a person with extremely prominent status and status.But the first impression Duke Ferid gave Charlotte was that he didn't look aristocratic at all - because Charlotte really couldn't associate the middle-aged man in front of him with the word "noble".

Charlotte herself dresses more casually, unlike most of the nobles in Casimir, who wander around in expensive dresses all day long in order to show their identity and status.

Just like Charlotte at this moment, he was only wearing simple slacks and a white shirt, and because of the cold weather, he was wearing a fluffy windbreaker.

But compared to Charlotte's simple enough attire, the attire of the Duke Ferid in front of him is even simpler.

No, Charlotte thinks it's not easy to describe it—shorts, short sleeves and a pair of flip-flops, I don't know if I thought this Duke Ferid was going to the park to prepare to play chess. .

"Hello, Duke Ferid..."

Charlotte's mouth twitched.

"Isn't Viscount Charlotte right?"

Duke Ferid looked at Charlotte's face, but he didn't show contempt because the other party's title was far inferior to his own.

"What, you have something to do with me?"

"There is a little bit..."

"Oh, then hurry up and talk. After I finish speaking, I will continue to go back to my room to sleep."

This Duke Ferid speaks so directly...

Charlotte, who is used to choosing her words carefully when talking with others, and hiding her knife in her smile from time to time, has not had such a direct conversation with outsiders for a long time.

Should it be said that this Duke Ferid is straightforward, or should he say that Duke Ferid is not very understanding of the world?

I feel that the possibility of the former should be higher. After all, he is a duke, so it should be unlikely that he doesn't know the ways of the world.

"Then Duke Ferid, since you have said so, then I can speak straight."
