Chapter 522:

He listened to the music from the phonograph with a face full of intoxication. Although he didn't understand the meaning of these poems at all, this did not prevent him from being intoxicated with emotion in his heart.

Recalling the rich years of the past, it is no wonder that the aristocracy in the north has always regarded them as barbarians, but it does have its merits. The construction of the castle and the enjoyment of food and art are indeed not comparable to the extremely economically backward South.

But now, he has finally lived the life that nobles should have, enjoying a very high quality of life, and nurturing his sentiment...

Due to climate problems, farming has shrunk severely in the southern countries. It is difficult to find a place to cultivate food. The people cannot pay taxes to the nobles on time. The nobles are even so poor that they have no money to raise soldiers. They can only survive on the taxes paid by a few wealthy families.

However, this is not what it used to be. The messenger from the imperial city negotiated the deal with him, and his quality of life was thriving.

The broken castle has been repaired, the luxurious wool bed is now available, the horse breeding ground is also available, the flower garden is also being built, and a group of northern chefs are responsible for their own food problems, and the warehouse is full of them. The soldier guards inside and outside the castle are responsible for protecting him and his property.

To be honest, as a little aristocrat in the South, he is already satisfied with the current situation of his life. One day he can find a woman who is worthy to marry home, and his descendants can also enjoy this eternal beauty.

The sudden opening of the door, accompanied by a gust of ear pain, cut off the noble master's thoughts.

"Oh... the noble master covered his head and looked at the goose feathers flying outside the door with boredom.

The cold is what he hates. His ancestor is only a little noble who has been rewarded with minor merits. Without the slightest royal blood, his immunity to cold is the same as that of ordinary blood.

When he was a child, he often suffered from freezing and discouragement. He hated this feeling very much. "Mu Xiaowan" Guard, close the door! …What happened? Are those untouchables rebelling again? Then arrest all the rebels and suppress them! "After closing the door, he respectfully handed over the letter to the nobleman, and then exited the castle hall. …Birthday and birthday?" The nobleman frowned with the letter between his two fingers. "What are these guys doing?

He had a relationship with the nobleman who sent the letter to him, and he was roughly the most authoritative lord of the southern countries.

To be honest, although the southern lords formed an alliance, they did not communicate closely with each other, especially half a year ago, like a loose alliance that only maintained a skeleton, and the members did not have any interaction with each other.

The little nobleman is not stupid. Knowing how much he has, he understands that the other party must have not only invited himself, but also the lord and nobles of the entire southern countries.

It is impossible for the other party to invite only the humble little nobleman from 2, this is unreasonable.

"What are you thinking about... The reason for inviting a colleague to celebrate his birthday is definitely not believed by the little nobleman. This person had three birthdays in a year and asked for gifts from his colleagues in the name. Whoever believes it will be fool.

He released a signal for the nobles to gather. It is estimated that there are other plans.

After pondering for a moment, the nobleman decided to go to the banquet. This is not what it used to be. It doesn't hurt to take out this gift money. That's right, he called a guard.

"Do you have any research, my lord,

"You, go to the street, just find a civilian and buy me the clothes he wears. Remember, don't buy too good, and don't buy too bad, understand?" The nobleman cautiously said The copper coin was handed to the guard.

Although the guard didn't know which one his master was singing, he still complied with it.

The efficiency of the guards was fairly fast. In less than a while, a piece of tattered cotton filled with patches appeared on the aristocrat's phoebe wooden table. He ordered the maid to wash the tattered clothing from the inside out, and let himself be worshipped. The low-level curse masters released the curse to dry the clothes quickly, and then put on the clothes satisfactorily.

Take out an old cloth bag from the utility room, squeeze the copper coins into it, stuff it into his pocket, and walk out of the castle gate. There is a carriage that has already been prepared.

The southern countries are densely arranged, and the distance between the two cities is not too far.

Just like this, the carriage sent the little nobleman to his destination in the afternoon.

After getting off the carriage, the little nobleman was completely dumbfounded. He rubbed his eyes in disbelief, and made sure that he was not in the wrong place.

This is indeed the land where the great aristocrat of the southern countries was separated, but he clearly remembered that a year ago it looked very different from the present.

The dilapidated low earth wall was completely demolished, and the once towering city wall was replaced by it. Soldiers armed to the teeth stood on all sides of the city. Inside the city are tall castles that exceed the city wall...

Is this really the city of Aleutian? ? The poor city of Aleutians where the people eat each other? ?

With an incredibly complicated mood, the little nobleman stepped towards the generous gate one by one.

After a simple inspection, the guards guarding the city let him into the city without too much hindrance.

However, it seems that even though the city of Ariu has undergone earth-shaking changes, the people at the bottom live as stretched as they did in the past. The dilapidated houses are flooded with cold wind, and the people in shabby robes are leaning against the fire and shivering with cold. , And some fell directly into the snow, blushing, as if they were asleep or frozen to death.

It seems that there is no difference in the life of the people under his rule, and the city wall has become higher, and a magnificent inner city has been added. It seems that there is no other change in this city.

There are a few rags that can’t hide the wind and waves on the leaky wooden houses. However, the refugees living in wooden houses are only a few. Most of them live in makeshift tents. Some are even homeless and sleep on the streets. .

But all of this seemed ordinary, and no one felt strange in ordinary times.

The luxurious inner city of the castle and the outer city, where the people don’t live, are obviously two completely different worlds.

And the defense of the inner city was obviously much stricter than that of the outer city, as if they were guarding against something.

"Stop, don't move forward anymore." The guard's indifferent voice flew, and when the little nobleman was in a daze, the guards not far away had already grasped the sword and were full of killing intent. "Oh, I am the nobleman who was invited by your city lord to come to the banquet." The little nobleman handed the crumpled invitation to the guard.

Checking the letter, the guards looked suspiciously at the little nobleman's clothes and bowed. "It's rude to the nobles, this city is spoiled, please don't be offended."

"It's all right..."

Led by the guards, walked into the magnificent castle.

The stone wall made of white stone and the luxurious crystal floor reflect the brilliance, and the degree of luxury is far greater than that of the own hall, which makes people jealous.

The hall seems to be very lively. In addition to the guards guarding the gate to maintain order, there are also many graceful maids. The long seats draped in red silk cloth are filled with extremely rich and luxurious banquets.

When was the lord's castle of Aleutian city so luxurious? It’s almost time to catch up with the emperor’s palace. Although this little nobleman is not qualified to meet the queen, he seems to be late. There are many nobles at the banquet. Why can the little noble see it at a glance, because the nobles are dressed and dressed. It's really too conspicuous. In this luxurious castle hall, the group of people wearing coarse clothes holding wine glasses with some unexpectedly embarrassed smiles on their faces are as obvious as a group of chickens, but they are out of place.

As the music in the hall ceased abruptly, the maids who delivered drinks and the guards retreated, and the banquet seemed to have officially begun, only waiting for the arrival of the noble lord who had gathered everyone here.

He first glanced at the nobles who were lingering on the scene, with a faint contempt at the corner of his mouth, and naturally sat on the main seat.

"Why don't you guys be reluctant to take a seat? Are you condemning me for inadequate hospitality, hahaha." The nobleman let out a hearty laugh.

In the midst of embarrassment, the nobles could only take an awkward smile on their faces, and took their seats a little bit twisted.

After exchanging greetings with each other, everyone seemed not to speak actively.

"Everyone, all right, don't pretend it." The nobleman put away his formulaic smile and said calmly. "I know that you all have made a fortune in their respective territories, just one by one, I don't want others to know, do you deliberately wear this shabby appearance to the banquet?"

…The nobles below, look at me and I will look at you, looking at each other, silently showing an awkward smile.

"Brother is really a good lesson, hehe, this is not a good harvest in recent years. Most people are willing to pay such a few taxes, and I also made a small fortune. Hey, after all, I am still inferior to you, man."

"Hehe, Xiaocai? I don't see it." The nobleman had a calm smile on his face. "My brother can really laugh, everyone is the lord of the southern countries, know how evil this ghost place where birds do not shit, the harvest? You can harvest a rice seed is an eye-opener to God, where is the tax revenue? support??

"Everyone should open the skylight to speak up, everyone, have you also received a secret commission from Huang Chenglai to make a pen head sale?"

"Everyone is the same, why do you still want to preserve your reputation after being stained with this? Okay, can you hide those things in your heart from me? Now we are grasshoppers on a rope." See still nothing When people spoke, the nobleman snorted coldly.

"Your Excellency, you are worthy of being the representative of our southern countries, and my heart is hanging...yes, that's it. I did make a fortune, and all of you here must be.
