Chapter 475
Chapter 475
In late March, the cold air still ravaged people's skin all the time, but the breath of spring has gradually come.
Not only was the breath in the air mixed with a few slight warm spring smell, but even a little bit of tender green appeared on the ground.
Half a month ago, the snow on the ground had melted very clean, but the spring breeze was still cold. In the mainland, the green grass that rushed out from this dark earth was just a few, shallow.
However, the grass and leaves are still weak, and they also have a pleasant power.
From a few days ago, the servants in Baron Rocas Castle began to get busy.
Nothing else, just because their Baron was going to go out to sea for the first time.
Those who are servants should not only prepare the clothes that the adults should carry, but also choose servants who can go out to sea with them.
I heard that the Treasure Island where the adults were going to have a warm climate and beautiful weather. Some of the servants with faces wanted to follow Baron Rocas. In the end, they only picked eight servants to accompany them.
At the morning of March 20, a group of guests were welcomed at the dock in Yuanfan Town.
They were all brave, riding horses and protecting a carriage slowly coming.
Upon hearing the news, he arrived at Sukar, the mayor of Yuanfan Town. He greeted Baron Rocas who had walked out of the carriage and went to the ship to prepare for the sea.
Although Baron Roccas visited Treasure Island and Baron Roccas without ships went to sea, he still needed to borrow a large ship from Yuanfan Town. As Romon's confidant subordinate, Sukal naturally understood the truth. Not only did he borrow a large ship for Baron Roccas, sailors and shipmen, he had everything.
"Yeah, not bad." Looking at Sukal, who was respectful, Baron Roccas nodded and smiled. After all, the other party was also a knight and a member of the aristocratic class.
"Sir Baron, your affairs are more important. The wind direction is about to change. Please get on the boat as soon as possible." Sukal looked at the sky and replied.
Seeing Sukar in this way, Baron Roccas became a little envious of Romon. He had a good vision and had a chance to get in touch with adventurers at the beginning. However, neither Hevavi nor Sukar were very outstanding at the beginning, but after Romon gathered himself under him, he was very happy. However, the few people he recruited were all mediocre.
Romon's vision is indeed good.
Only such a person is worthy of his precious daughter. After being depressed, Baron Rocas couldn't help but become proud again.
With a gentle gratitude, Baron Rocas walked towards the ship without any speed or slowness.
Although he still looked so arrogant in front of outsiders, in fact, his aging body and his gradual inaccuracy of his legs and feet have made him a little difficult to support.
When he stepped onto the boat, he slipped his right foot, but the servant helped him in time so that he did not make any mistakes.
He is old, really old. Although he is only in his early fifties and has always been gloomy, his physical condition is worse than he imagined.
Baron Rocas sighed secretly in his heart, but his feet kept resting. Seeing his unyielding appearance, Sukal on the shore of the boat shook his head gently.
I have long heard that Lord Romon's father-in-law has a stubborn temper and has had a few dealings before. Now it seems that his temper and temperament are really difficult to change.
"All the servants sent to follow Lord Rocas have been arranged?" Seeing that the big ship gradually left the shore, Sukal turned around and asked the person who was following him.
The usual smile no longer exists at this time.
"Sir, it has been arranged and I will definitely protect Lord Rocas. Those people are the best men in the guards." The man replied with a smile.
"Well, that's good. Don't look at our Lord and Lord Rocas always having a quarrel. No matter how much they make, they are relatives." Sukal seemed to see a trace of confusion in the man's eyes, as if he was explaining, and as if he was talking to himself.
After saying that, looking at the big ship that had already gone away, he regained his smile, waved to the people beside him, and walked towards the war horse next to him: "Let's go, there are still many things in the town waiting for us to deal with."
After a sliver of dust, there was no one else on the shore.
On the sea, Baron Rocas, who had gone out to sea for the first time, stood on the deck of the big ship, holding the railing in his hand, looking at the vast sea, and needless to say the horror in his heart.
"So, the sea is like this, completely different from the feeling of watching on the shore..." He thought so, who was guarding the territory and never went out to sea.
Although the temperature at sea is warmer than on land, Baron Rocas still has a headache after the sea breeze blows for a long time. He spent the next journey in the cabin.
I don’t know how long it took, but in a daze, someone shouted outside the door: “Baron Roccas! Baron Roccas!”
"What's the matter?" Baron Rocas asked, sat up from the cozy little bed arranged in the cabin.
"Treasure Island has arrived, please get off the boat, sir." The person outside replied.
"Have it down? Wait a minute." After putting on his clothes and putting on his boots, Baron Rocas walked out of the cabin with a serious look on his face, and accompanied by his servants, he came outside.
Sure enough, a large island had appeared in front of him, the boat had already docked, and a solid wooden ladder went down. With the help of the attendant, Baron Rocas walked down the boat.
At this time, although there was a hint of coldness on the continent, the island was already full of spring.
Standing on the shore, Baron Rocas was surprised to see that the dock area had been built, with dense buildings, wide roads, and flat pier. The entire port was not only magnificent, but also neat and standardized. It was a little larger than the scale of Yuanfan Port.
"Sir Baron, how do you feel when you go out to sea for the first time?" Not far away, a handsome young man was standing in front of him, smiling. He was neither someone else, but his son-in-law, Viscount Tetazo Romon.
"Yeah, that's OK." Baron Rocas replied coldly, but he also knew that it was almost impossible to convince this person with his earlier confrontation with Romon. The more he thought about it, the stronger his feeling of depression became.
It seemed as if he could see Baron Rocas' displeasure, during the following accompanying process, Romon was very cautious and respectful, and finally got happy with the old baron.
"You just said that there are two residential areas built inside? Take me to visit." Baron Rocas suggested.
"You have been rushing for so long, have you..."
"I'm not old yet." Now whenever someone mentions this topic, Baron Roccas will immediately turn against him.
"Well, Baron Roccas is now in good health and is not tired from taking a boat. So let's go and visit the residential area immediately." Romon felt funny, but he said the above words with a very serious expression on his face.
Baron Rocas nodded with satisfaction and then got on the spacious carriage prepared by Romon in advance. This was the first time the father-in-law and son-in-law were sitting so close that they watched the scenery outside in a carriage. At first, they felt a little uncomfortable, but over time, as the situation outside attracted Baron Rocas more and more, the atmosphere gradually became active.
"Yeah, it's very good, it's not bad." At this time, the carriage had already walked from the port to the first residential area. Looking at the neatly planned area passing by, Baron Rocas kept praising him.
The carriage continued to move forward, and soon arrived at the second residential area, where the lord villa, lighthouse, commercial area and castle had not started yet. Judging from the situation of ordinary residential houses and streets, if the second residential area is built, it will definitely be more imposing than the first one.
"I see that there are still many places in the second residential area that have not been built, so why don't craftsmen continue to build?" After reading these, Baron Rocas couldn't help asking.
"That's right now, it's the time for spring plowing. I have already put all the workers home for spring plowing. I can't delay their spring plowing. Although the island has accepted three batches of refugees, there is still not enough manpower. For the food this year, everyone is now reclaiming wasteland. The wheat under spring plowing is from late March to early April. Now is a good time to clear the land." Romon explained.
"So that's it, it's true. You're doing it right. I want to go and see the situation of reclamation." Baron Rocas nodded and said.
Romon knew that his father-in-law came here, first to find something for him, and second to see the construction of the island and learn from it.
They were all their own family, and Romon had nothing to hide. He muttered to the driver a few words, turned the carriage and headed towards the direction of reclaiming wasteland.
After traveling for a while, before I could see it, I could hear the noise outside. I lifted up the curtain and looked out, Baron Rocas couldn't help but nod.
The people who are reclaiming land on the Romon Island are the second batch of refugees transported these days, working hard and showing great effort.
"This is their future home, so we naturally have to work hard. If we delay spring plowing, it will be troublesome. My father-in-law, please watch here first, and I will give them some advice." As a druid, he does have the ability to guide farming. After Romon said a few words to Baron Rocas, he went out and personally directed the farming.
Seeing his tacit cooperation with those people, Baron Rocas understood in his heart that before he came, most of the time Romon had on the island must have been spent here.
After a while of busyness and finishing all the things, Romon returned to the carriage. When Baron Rocas saw sweat on his forehead, he asked curiously: "You are already a noble viscount. Are you not afraid of laughing at me when you continue to do this kind of work? Also, although land reclamation is very important, you have a large area of territory, so you shouldn't care how many days or later it is, right?"
Romon smiled: "You can wait any other projects, but you can't wait for this 10,000 acres of wheat fields. When the sowing is completed, it will be too late to start work. And if you wait for two months, there will be enough manpower in the five villages. If there are more, you can also arrange it to the land territory, and there are also lack of manpower there. As for whether others are laughing about it, I don't care."
After hearing this, Baron Rocas was silent for a while before chuckling softly: "It's good that you can think like this. By the way, you promised me before and gave me a batch of labor. Let's do this. The fifth batch of manpower will all belong to me. How about it?"
"Okay, the fifth batch of manpower is mine. I guess I will give it to you about the tenth day of next month." Romon smiled and agreed without hesitation.
Chapter completed!
