Chapter 164

    There are three villages under the leadership of Isaac, namely dia village, Djibouti village and Bligh village. Bligh village is the nearest to Isaac, which is located 20 or 30 kilometers to the south of Isaac.


    It is also the only way to reach isaacburg from the outside world, and it is also the largest of the three villages.


    The population of Bray village is more than 400 people, twice that of Tami village before, and far more than the other two villages. In fact, the scale of villages in other places in this era is very small. There are only more than 100 people in a village, but the number of villages is large and widely distributed, especially in the plain. There is a village not far away, The population is still very dense.


    However, a country with a large number of mountains like the Principality of Bethel is an exception. The Principality of Bethel is vast and sparsely populated, but the population is relatively concentrated. The population of villages is twice the average level of the whole continent, but the number of villages is much smaller, and the villages are scattered. The distance is far away, at least more than ten kilometers.


    The main reason is that there are many places in mountainous areas that are really not suitable for human habitation. Villagers want to choose very rare flat land, but flat land is very limited in mountainous areas, so a village has a large population, but a large population does not mean that a village will be more prosperous.


    On the contrary, the villages with more population in Bethel principality will be poorer, because the resources of a place are limited and may not be able to support so many villagers at all. Unless there is another way out, a group of people may starve to death every year. The reason why the population of Bligh village is so large also has a lot to do with its geographical location.


    As the road leading to the outside world passes through the middle of the village, the caravans or pedestrians will have to stop and rest this time, which brings a glimmer of vitality to the village. It is through this road that the village can feed so many people and the population will become more and more.


    However, under the exploitation of the crimson family, Bligh village has not been able to usher in better development. Otherwise, due to the scale and geographical advantages of Bligh village, it should have been upgraded to a small town, rather than now. It is still just an ordinary poor village.


    Because the kreisen family would only make money from Bligh village and ignored the development of Bligh village at all, let alone invest in the construction of Bligh village, after Nord arrived at Bligh village, he saw a very large but extremely poor village.


    A main road divided the whole village into two sides. Nord entered the village along the truth. The surrounding villagers saw Nord and his party coming on horseback. They thought it was the knight master from the castle, because Viscount oli had just passed by a few days ago and took away this year''s tax in advance.


    This makes the villagers who have no income this winter worse. Just after the cold winter, their hearts are still very cold. Just like the heavy snow this year, they are cold and ruthless. Therefore, when they see someone coming on horseback, their first reaction is that master oli is collecting taxes again.


    After Nord entered the village, the village head of Bligh village was waiting for them, but after seeing the appearance of Nord and his party, the village head was very confused.


    For the village head of Bligh village, this group of people looks very strange, as if they have never seen them before. Because Bligh village is located in an important road, viscount oli will pass by Bligh village every time he comes back. Therefore, the village head of Bligh village, a member of the crison family, basically knows all of them.


    But this group of people in front of him is definitely the first time he has seen. The leading young man with noble appearance on a horse seems to be a little familiar, as if he has seen it before, but he hasn''t seen it clearly from too far away, but he is sure that he has never seen others. The village head of Bulai village is very confident in his vision.


    The industry of Bulai village is mainly to provide some accommodation for businessmen who come and go. In addition, it collects some goods in the mountains or two nearby villages and sells them to these businessmen nearby. Originally, Bulai village can also sell some food. After all, accommodation service is an industrial chain.


    But no, all behaviors related to food are not allowed, even if the food is planted by the villagers themselves, so although these villagers guard a trade road, they are not rich.


    Nord did not choose to ride on the horse, but let Hill scholar talk to them. Nord looked at the villagers indifferently with the soldiers, maintaining the pride of an aristocrat and disdaining to talk to them. Hill scholar turned off his horse and walked to the village head of Bligh.


    "My Lord, where are you from? I''m Joel, the head of Bulai village. What can I do for you?"


    Although village head Joel doesn''t know the person in front of him, it can be seen from his dress and temperament that the middle-aged man in front of him must not be an ordinary person, and the person who is still waiting in the distance, needless to say, must be the noble master. Village head Joel is very familiar with the noble style.


    So even though the village head of Joel didn''t know their identity, he was still very humble in front of hill scholars and didn''t dare to make a mistake at all, because no matter where the nobles came from, he was not a small village head to offend.


    "We''re from isaacburg. We came here to find village head Joel. You have something to do."


    Hill scholar smiled and observed the situation of Bligh village and the speech and behavior of village head Joel. In fact, the main purpose of this visit is to let Hill scholar know the situation of the three villages well, in addition to informing the three villages that isaacburg has changed a new owner.


    Therefore, scholar hill is the protagonist of this task. He needs to carefully investigate not only the terrain and environment, but also whether the three village heads can continue to be competent for the post of village head. Nord just helps him make a scene and uses Nord''s noble title to deter these villagers who have not met.


    "Please forgive my ignorance. I''ve never heard of isaacburg. I don''t know what you''re looking for me."


    Village head Joel''s face was confused. The man in front of him claimed that he was from isaacburg, but from the direction they came, there was no isaacburg at all. There was only one castle to the north of Bligh village. If the adult in front of him was not elegant and decent, he thought he was a madman from where.


    "Yes, it''s isaacburg, but it wasn''t called that before, that''s the name you changed just two days ago. You used to call it kresenberg."


    Although the tone of hill scholar was very slow, it was like a thunder in the ear of village head Joel, which directly shook his heart. Village head Joel was in a trance for a while, while Hill scholar smiled and didn''t speak, leaving room for buffer for village head Joel.


    After a long time, village head Joel gradually slowed down. There was a bitter smile on his face, and the incredible look in his eyes had not completely subsided. Looking at the smiling scholar hill, he said slowly.
