Roland’s reply didn’t contain much content. Apart from briefly talking about his daily life in the Red Keep, he also answered Russell’s questions.
Just before Russell returned to the territory, he sent a letter to Roland asking Roland about the serf trade.
Now Roland clearly informed Russell in his reply that Archduke Kunstein had relaxed the restrictions on the serf trade and allowed the manor lords of the Volcano Oasis to sell their serfs to the Warm Enclave. However, he had made some changes regarding the mortality rate of the serfs. Harsh restrictions.
“Phew, the restrictions on serf trade have finally been lifted…” Russell felt a little complicated.
This is something he longs for, but it always reminds him of the slave trade back home on Earth, which makes him feel a little guilty.
Fortunately, the safety of the serfs can be guaranteed, and the lords of the Warm Enclave will never waste the lives of the serfs. Moreover, after the serfs arrived in the Nuannuan Enclave, they were immediately assigned land to cultivate, and were treated no differently than the local serfs.
“It’s equivalent to a population transfer.” He put down Roland’s reply and comforted himself, “And I treat the serfs better than any other lord.”
immediately.
He told his valet Ram: “Go to the Temporary Office and ask for Charles, the clerk, and Halls too.”
“Yes, sir.”
Ram left, and Russell opened the third letter.
This letter is also a reply, sent from the Golden Roof Castle in the Golden Fields, signed by Robi Fluorescent Mushroom.
“Auntie’s reply…his, it’s really sharp.” Russell looked at the letter. The Golden Roof Castle was the castle of the Golden Baron, and his aunt Robbie was the baroness.
At the beginning of the reply, Russell was scolded.
The reason for scolding Russell is very simple, because Russell has never written a letter to her, and he does not have this aunt in his heart.
In recent years, Aunt Luobi rarely came back due to her poor health and the fact that there was no trade route between the Golden Fields and the Youguang River Valley. She had to take a detour through the volcanic oasis. Every trip was time-consuming and laborious.
Contact with family members is limited to letters.
Basically, I corresponded with Mrs. Ingrid every month, and even sent out more than a dozen letters written at different times at one time.
In the past, when he lived in Fluorescent Castle, his parents would write letters to Aunt Robbie on his and Laura’s behalf, so Russell didn’t have the consciousness to write letters at all. To this day, when I wrote a letter asking about the golden black pig, I was finally caught by Aunt Luo Bi and scolded me.
The letter was very long, and after finishing the scolding, Aunt Luo Bi rambled on about the Golden Fields and the trivial things about the Golden Summit Castle.
“Your sister, Diana, will be ten years old next year. She can no longer remember your appearance, and Laura. Only your eldest brother Roland still has some conscience. He comes to the Golden Summit Castle every year to visit his sister.”
“Well, Diana…” Russell tried his best to remember.
I remember that a few years ago, Aunt Luo Bi brought her cousin Diana Golden Top Mushroom back to the Fluorescent Castle.
But at that time, Diana was just a child of a few years old. She seemed to be playing well with Laura, and other impressions were gone.
After all, his predecessor’s personality was somewhat gloomy and reserved, he was devoted to ascetic cultivation, and he didn’t have much affection for his relatives at all.
“Speaking of which, ‘I’ was indeed a little indifferent to Aunt Luo Bi’s family before. Now that we have been entrusted with it, I should indeed write letters to greet Aunt Luo Bi from time to time…” Russell thought that although he was a time traveler, this body’s Bloodline cannot be changed.
Whether it’s my grandfather, Earl Merlin, or Uncle Rosen and Aunt Luobi, they are all my relatives.
Continue reading the letter.
After Aunt Luobi finished talking about the daily trivial matters, she began to congratulate Russell on having two elves. She believed that Russell would become the pride of the Fluorescent Mushroom family in the future and ride a two-legged flying dragon as soon as possible.
Finally, at the end of the letter, the golden black pig is finally mentioned.
“The jet-black pig has great potential to become a new species of breeding beast. My uncle is very interested in this, so he sent Lord Dave to your territory to handle the breeding of jet-black pig. You and Lord Dave will discuss the specific details. “
Close the letter.
While thinking, Charles and Howles had already arrived at the Cigar Compound.
“Sir, do you have anything to do with us?”
“My eldest brother Roland has already replied to my letter. Grand Duke Kunstein has decided to relax the restrictions on the serf trade, so I am going to the Fluorescent Castle to discuss the purchase of serfs with my father. Charles, you will accompany me.”
“Really, this is great news.” Charles responded.
Russell looked at Halls again: “When the time comes to purchase serfs, I hope you will follow the caravan of Fluorescent Castle and be responsible for the specific purchase matters. In addition, you can also take this opportunity to recruit a group of free people.”
Howles is the defense officer of the manor court and is also in charge of the trading market in Digutun. Hearing this, he immediately nodded in agreement.
The tone was very exciting: “Yes, sir, I promise to complete the mission!”
“Howles, you go back and get ready first. After Charles and I go to Fluorescent Castle and discuss how to buy serfs, you can set off with the caravan.”
“Yes, my lord.” Howles responded.
Then he said: “Sir, before I set off, I would like to recruit a local freeman from the cave. Maybe he can help the territory attract freemen from the volcano oasis cave.”
“Who is it?”
“Big Bear Grove in Savage Cave.” Howles named a person.
Russell raised his brows: “I’ve heard of this person. The lone wolf Lisbon must have been preparing to sneak attack on the Big Bear Grove before he was blocked by me and killed.”
“Yes, that’s the person.”
“Why would recruiting him be helpful in attracting the free people of the Volcano Oasis Caves?” Russell asked curiously.
Halls told a story.
Big Clumsy Bear Grove is not a ranger, but a costumed knight with great strength. He fled from other places and came to Youguang Valley about seven or eight years ago, and has since settled down in the Savage Cave crypt in Curved Edge Mountain.
He has been living in the savage cave, living a life of eating what he has and starving when there is no food. He has never been to a nearby manor to steal.
“I only recently found out about Big Bear Grove from the free people in Savage Cave. He was once a subordinate knight of a lord in Volcano Oasis. He was furious because his childhood sweetheart was defiled by the lord’s youngest son. Then I destroyed the opponent’s fighting spirit and fled here.”
Big Stupid Bear Grove is a good drinker, and after drinking, he will reveal this past incident.
“Grove’s experience has many shadows of the free people of the burrows, and he is different from rangers like us. He is a solid knight. I believe that bringing him will be more convincing and attract those talented burrowers. The longing of the free people for your land, my lord.”
“Hmm.” Russell was noncommittal.
This set of rhetoric was somewhat far-fetched in logic, but after thinking about it, he still felt that he could give it a try.
After all, serfs can be obtained through trade, but skilled talents are not so easy to obtain.
Maybe Big Bear Grove can really attract talents from the free folk of the underground cave.
“Are you confident that you can recruit Big Bear Grove?”
“Of course.” Halls clapped his chest loudly, “My lord, your kindness and prestige have resounded throughout the crypts of the Dark Light Valley. All the free people who come to the trading market are full of praise for you. ”
Russell smiled reservedly: “Really?”
