Chapter 185

    How to coax girls is a metaphysics.


    Arthur''s dozens of girlfriends in his previous life did not bring him this experience accumulation, but fortunately LIA was only shy, not angry. Therefore, after walking alone for a while, everything recovered as before.


    It''s a trip. In fact, Arthur wants to see the farmland and the resettlement of new farmers.


    The construction of xinshanghe town is in full swing, and various reform measures are also vigorously promoted, and the reform of farms and resettlement are the basis for the implementation of all this. This is also the reason why Arthur was determined to abolish the farm and give serfs some freedom in spite of public opposition.


    From the current inspection, the effect of chemical fertilizer is obvious, the wheat plants are tall and strong, the ears are fuller than before, and the harvest can be expected.


    Food is the key. China''s history of thousands of years has repeatedly proved that once the farmers can''t fill their stomachs, the uprising and rebellion will not be far away. As long as they can survive, few people will take the risk of beheading.


    Now shangheling starts to make wine. Arthur doesn''t expect to be completely self-sufficient in food, but at least ensure that everyone has enough to eat, farmers have surplus hands, and can get income from the land - this is the bottom line!


    "My Lord, there is Shangli village ahead." looking at the village ahead, Leah looked happy.


    Since Arthur abolished the farm and changed the three farms into villages, she has always wanted to come here to have a look. Now, the idea has finally come true!


    "Go and see the village!" said Arthur.


    The party turned over and mounted the horse. The four knights opened the road in front of them and arrived outside Shangli village in a moment.


    The village fence is still built to prohibit serfs from entering and leaving at will. It is the standard configuration of all farms. Only under Arthur''s reform, these fences have lost their original function.


    Riding into the farm, what Arthur and others saw was not the neat and orderly changes like the river town. On the contrary, the new population moved in, making the village seem crowded and noisy.


    Most of the open spaces have built simple wooden houses. Most of the men and older children have gone to the city to work. Most of the people left in the village are women and children.


    Although the serfs had little property, because it was a migration, almost everything they could take away was brought to the current village.


    As big as the most precious wooden bed and as small as a rope, it is absolutely the same.


    As a zero hour settlement, the wooden house has not enough space for farmers to settle their huge family property. Therefore, in addition to the wooden bed, most of the furniture can only be stacked outside the house.


    When Arthur swept away, the whole village was like a huge junk market.


    If the shed used to light a fire, cook soup and distribute food outside those wooden houses, it would be no different from the refugee concentration camp.


    The village is just a small political center and goods distribution center. With the expansion of cultivated land, most farmers will move out of here sooner or later. Arthur also specially prepared the homestead for them to build houses.


    Therefore, at the beginning of the plan, Arthur did not intend to let Gustav and others spend a lot of time building new houses, some of which were mainly resettlement.


    Watching Arthur and others arrive, the new villagers stop and look around. Although they have never seen Arthur, the knight in armor makes them guess the identity of the boy on the horse in an instant, and look at Arthur''s eyes with excitement and reverence.


    "Lord Arthur!"


    "Lord Arthur, Lord Arthur!"


    ……


    Finally, driven by the villagers of some original villages, they dared to shout with their excitement and joy.


    Surrounded by a group of women and children, Arthur was very happy and turned down his horse directly to the crowd.


    Watching Arthur and others close, the cheering women stopped their voices in an instant.


    Although they have heartfelt gratitude and respect for Arthur who changed their fate, their deep-rooted ideas still make them almost instinctively awe of the nobility.


    Especially Thorne, who stood beside Arthur and looked ferocious and cold, gave them a great deterrent.


    Looking at a woman in coarse linen and black and the little girl she was holding, Arthur went straight ahead.


    "Your Excellency."


    The woman and the crowd on both sides unconsciously took a step back, and then bowed together.


    Arthur ignored the crowd and went to the little girl who bowed to him and squatted down.


    The little girl was only four or five years old. She was dressed in dirty gray linen. She was thin and small. She didn''t quite understand what "count" and "Lord" meant. Just under her mother''s strict instruction, she knew that anyone who saw someone wearing armor and protected by these people must bow down immediately.


    Arthur''s sudden move obviously frightened the little girl. She held her mother''s thigh and looked timidly at Arthur squatting in front of her.


    She had never seen such a man as Arthur. His clothes were so beautiful, his body was so clean, and his face was not dirty at all.


    "What''s your name?" Arthur asked softly with a smile.


    The little girl didn''t dare to speak. When her mother saw Arthur squatting at her feet, she immediately knelt down, stretched out her hand to protect the child, and said timidly, "big, sir, this is my child. Her name is Aretha. Aretha, say hello to the count quickly! Come on!"


    "Never mind, madam," said Arthur with a smile. "Your daughter is very lovely. I just want to see my little leader."


    "Yes, yes, sir." the little girl''s mother was obviously surprised by Arthur''s gentleness. After being stunned for a moment, she said to her daughter, "Aretha, good boy, don''t be afraid. This is our Lord count. Say hello to your Lord quickly."


    Hearing her mother''s words, little girl Aretha timidly said to Arthur, "Hello, Lord count."


    The little girl''s greetings were very blunt. The title of "Lord count" shouted like a word, like saying "hello to the table" and "hello to the chair".


    Arthur couldn''t help laughing at the timid look of the little girl with her head down.


    "Your name is Aretha, isn''t it?" he asked.


    The little girl looked at him and nodded timidly.


    Arthur spread out his hands, smiled and said, "my name is Arthur tustra. Miss Aretha, can I hold you?"


    Seeing that Arthur was going to hold Aretha, the women who looked around suddenly stared at him in surprise.


    Although the little girl didn''t know who the guy suddenly appeared was, she looked at Arthur in clean clothes and spoke to herself so gently. After a little hesitation, she resolutely extended her arm to Arthur.


    Arthur picked up the little girl from the ground, which caused a burst of exclamation from the people around him, and the little girl was frightened and wrapped around his neck.


    "Aretha..."


    Looking at her daughter hanging in Arthur''s arms, the little girl''s mother was nervous and even breathed quickly. She was worried that her daughter would dirty Arthur''s clothes. The anger of an earl is more than a person like her can bear.


    With one hand around Arthur''s neck, the little girl said happily, "Mom, this brother smells good!"
