Chapter 268

"Your Excellency, please forgive my impoliteness. I don't want to slander a noble. Viscount Randall is too arrogant!"

"The conditions put forward by Viscount Randall are absurd! He not only asked us for 40000 prickly kidney beans, but also asked us to bear all the transportation costs, and his reward was to calm the food price!"

"Sir, this is not a deal. This is a funny order. Viscount Randall is ordering us! If Viscount Randall is not a fool, he is humiliating our Wellington family."

The indignant Sardinian finally said something offensive to the aristocracy, and the quill pen in the Duke of Wellington stopped, and a little ink was fainting on the dark yellow sheepskin scroll.

Duke Wellington dropped his quill pen, leaned against the lizard leather chair, rubbed his swollen forehead, and six hours of writing made the noble scholar in his late 70s feel physically and mentally tired. He stood up, moved his sour arm and walked to the window. The housekeeper put away the documents on the desk gently and stood behind him respectfully.

This is the tallest room in westock castle and the Duke of Wellington's favorite study. Working here, you can overlook the scenery of vistock through the window when you are tired. However, Wellington felt more and more powerless, and now boarding the study every day has become a painful thing. Wellington had to admit that he actually admired Knights very much.

Outside vistock is a vast expanse of farmland. Seeing the harvest season, the golden wheat waves are surging, and the wheat fields are like an endless golden ocean. Farms are islands in the sea. The sweet wheat fragrance seemed to have floated into the high study through the window. Duke Wellington took a deep breath, but the dark green thorn kidney bean field was so eye-catching in the golden sea. So, the smile lines that just popped up were immediately leveled off.

The Duke is not going to investigate the trade steward's fault of discussing the aristocracy. Although he is arrogant and stupid, he is safeguarding the interests and prestige of the Wellington family after all.

Their own dogs are always more lovely than other people's children.

Duke Wellington only hoped that his successor would not be burdened by the reputation of the Millennium family and become a real arrogant aristocrat. The Duke returned to his desk and took the silver cup in the housekeeper's hand. The aroma of coffee refreshed him. He gently sipped the expensive drink in the cup, closed his eyes and let the bitter sweetness permeate the tip of his tongue. After tasting it for a long time, the Duke asked his eldest son, "Da Crewe, what do you think of the conditions put forward by Viscount Randall?"

Da Crewe Wellington took his eyes off the map, turned to his father, shook his head slowly and said in a deep voice, "you can't promise Viscount Randall's terms!"

Sardins, the trade steward, was secretly excited. The Duke is resourceful, but he is old and has no previous decision to kill and become kind and generous. Even a little Viscount dared to dictate to the Wellington family! Fortunately, master Dacromet is very brave. He must teach the arrogant Viscount Randall a lesson and let everyone know that the majesty of the Wellington family is inviolable!

"The number of thorn rue trees given to Viscount Randall must at least triple! We can agree to his terms."

Sardinia stared at the heroic young master Dacromet. He wondered if he had heard wrong. Sardinian looked at his master again and was relieved to see the Duke shaking his head slowly with a serious look.

Master Da Crewe must have taken a fancy to the noble lady of Randall's family, so he thought of a way to please each other. Fortunately, the Duke of Wellington is resourceful. How can he do business at a loss?

"You are so greedy! It would be nice if the thorn rue tree given to Viscount Randall could be doubled."

Sardinia quietly pulled out his ears. He was sure that there must be something wrong with his hearing. The Duke and Dacromet didn't care about the miser's little action, but the housekeeper couldn't tolerate his loss of honor in front of the Lord. So Sardinia was driven out.

"Father, there are 840000 mu of thorn rue trees planted in the whole central and southern China. If Viscount Randall only has 100000 trees, we can only get 5000 mu of farmland. If your excellency Viscount receives 400000 thorn rue trees, the number of farmland to be rehabilitated will reach 20000 mu."

"With these arable lands, the family can canonize two knights. I have thought that advi and Cato have worked for the family for 11 years and canonized 10000 mu of arable land for each of them."

Wellington looked at the high spirited successor, frowned and asked, "neither the church nor the royal family can tolerate the continuous rise in food prices, which will only cheaper the chamber of Commerce of the Marquis Sophia. How are you going to let Viscount Randall receive 400000 thorn rue trees?"

Dacromet nodded and said: "At present, the Buryat family employs a large number of refugees to expand the outer city of Yeliu city. As long as we don't let the thorn kidney beans flow into the Buryat collar, if Mrs. Judy doesn't want to use the family's grain reserves, she can only ask Viscount Randall for help. Lord Randall's proposal to receive 100000 thorn kidney trees has proved that he won't sit back and watch the Buryat family get into trouble."

"I'm afraid Mrs. rose will interfere with Lord Randall's planting of thorn rue trees. We can't stop Lord Randall from burning those thorn rue trees." Dacromet sighed anxiously.

The thorn kidney bean is the thorn in the heart of the Wellington family. If they could shovel the thorn kidney bean, they would have done so long ago. It is easy to shovel the thorn kidney bean, but the consequences are quite bad. Not to mention the pressure of the church, without the thorn kidney bean, the population in the central and southern part of the kingdom will inevitably flow to the middle of the Kingdom, which is the direct territory of the royal family! Therefore, the Wellington family has always wanted someone to take over the offer, but no one wants to be Wronged big head.

The Duke of Wellington finally made Viscount Randall interested in pricking kidney beans, but he didn't see his action. Now, viscount Randall finally opened his mouth and directly transplanted 40000 thorn rue trees! Dacromet was overjoyed. Although the cost of transplanting 40000 thorn kidney trees is not cheap, they can get 2000 mu of cultivated land immediately. It's a good deal to exchange 40000 thorn kidney trees for 2000 mu of cultivated land! However, Dacromet began to worry that it was a hoax.

Looking at the heir who was worried about gain and loss, the Duke sighed and said, "Da Crewe, you have got the wrong point."

"Whether Viscount Randall can become the second sword saint or not, his blood is not inferior to any highness. The royal family and the church are releasing goodwill to the Viscount, and you regard him as the darling of Lady Rose?"

"The York family gave Viscount Randall two female trainee knights as his personal maids. Hehe, who would your highness arrange partners for his favorite attendants? This is purely a family marriage! Therefore, viscount Randall is the Lord of the human horse hill. Since he decided to transplant thorn kidney beans, we don't have to worry about the attitude of the York family."

"The point is, we have no initiative!"

The Duke of Wellington stood up, went to the window and said, "there are many people and few people in the man horse hills. We need more free civil servants. It is the best choice for us to introduce the surplus population into the man horse hills."

"According to the original strategy, we first lower the food price, help the people and horses to accommodate more people, and then raise the food price to encourage them to plant thorn kidney beans. However, the new farming and animal husbandry system designed by master Edwin failed our plan."

The Duke pointed to a farm below and said, "following Edwin's method, I have opened up 10000 mu of farmland, raised wild boars, planted potato and wheat, and adopted the planting method of deep cultivation and careful cultivation and frequent manure application." He paused, shook his head and said, "the planting effect is very good! With 150 pounds of wheat per mu, it is expected to harvest 600 pounds of wheat, far more than 380 pounds in previous years. The yield of sweet potato is 500 pounds per mu. After drying, there are 280 pounds, and it can be stored for seven months!"

"I think the York family can start storing the first batch of grain in the harvest season next year. In another three years, their grain reserves will return to the pre war level. This means that the York family can accommodate refugees without our food, and they won't plant thorn kidney beans!"

Dacromet said angrily, "so, viscount Randall is lying to us!"

The little family will be angry when they are teased by the Golden Knight. Besides, viscount Randall is not a real Golden Knight, and the Wellington family is powerful and not a little aristocrat to be bullied. Dacromet was self-contained without swearing. The Duke of Wellington shook his head and said with a smile, "you don't know the character of viscount Randall."

"Now, powerful lords are investigating the background and character of viscount Randall. I am no exception." The Duke of Wellington continued: "Victor Wimbledon was just the second son of a small family. He was suddenly favored by Mrs. rose and became a powerful Lord. Like those upstarts, Victor was eager to prove himself. He was inevitably eager for quick success and instant benefits. This was confirmed by his implementation of the work point system and his refusal to become a vassal Lord of the York family. The high-yield thorn kidney beans just met Victor's requirements Your appetite. "

"The best thing is that the upstart of this character will never admit it even if he knows he has done wrong! That's why I encourage Viscount Randall to plant thorn kidney beans."

"Of course, we must admit that Victor has great potential and is very smart. If there is a choice, I don't want to offend him." Duke Wellington was silent for a moment and asked, "Dacromet, why do you say that Viscount Randall did not prick the seeds of kidney beans, but transplanted kidney trees?"
