Quick Transmigration: Losing All Standing and Reputation - Chapter 84
[Chapter 84 Glory Recovery (16)]
Cannon arrived at a big season before Rhine continued his career in science and technology.
Harvest season.
This was the season that the poor and down-to-earth Count Palatinate was most looking forward to. Although he waived the rent for most people, the remaining part is also a big income, enough for Rhine to last for a while. And the town’s tax is also paid this season, which is a huge amount of income. Rhine can wake up laughing from a dream recently.
Rhine’s most optimistic alfalfa reform will take two years to take effect at the earliest. The first year is no different from the previous farming, but the livestock raised will be stronger and fatter, whether it is used as labor or meat, it is better than ever. By the second year, the land will be fattened by alfalfa and turnips, and the crops will be healthier and more productive. Coupled with strong livestock, the output of the whole Canno will be much higher than that of other places.
After that, after another three to five years, the surplus output of Cannon will be enough to support the Rhine to go to war.
It’s just that before that, Rheinland has to bear some pressure. Who made the reformed farming methods not increase the output much more than before the reform in the first two years?
Rhine was also ready to guide public opinion, but he did not expect that his luck was really good.
Canno has had drought problems for the past five years, but the year Rhine came to Canno, the rainfall suddenly returned to normal. Five years is so long that farmers in Cannao have forgotten what they should be producing under normal circumstances. This year, there was only a little more output than normal, but in their eyes it was like a bumper harvest. And the credit goes to the count.
Without the reforms proposed by Count Palatinate, how could there be today’s harvest? Not to mention that the earl has exempted the reformers from rent for a year, so much food is all owned by these farmers!
For a time, the land of Canno was full of laughter and laughter, and the farmers who planted alfalfa felt the strong bodies of cattle and sheep and imagined the future. The farmers who have adopted two-season cultivation are neatly harvesting the rice planted in the spring, and it is no wonder that they hope to plant the seeds of the autumn season. Looking at the harvest of the alfalfa farmers, they imagine that they can also have such a harvest. Harvest more.
As for those farmers who did not accept the reform, they basically regretted it. Because he did not accept the reform, the earl terminated the contract. Although Rhine gave them a one-year grace, the one-year period was coming soon. Seeing that Canno had such a good harvest this year, where would they go to find something comparable to Canno. land? And they have to pay rent as usual this year. Although even after paying the rent, the harvest this year is still better than in previous years, but when compared with others, they feel a little uncomfortable. They are also farmers in Canno. Others have more harvests this year, and they all belong to them, which is many times better than them. Every time they heard someone brag there, they felt like a fool, and a group of people sighed as they looked at the piles of rice. Suddenly someone said: “You say, now tell the earl
that we are willing to plant two seasons like them, or we can also plant alfalfa, is it still too late?”
So easy to talk? Back then, the earl asked us to change it, but we didn’t change it. Now, naturally, we can only pack up and leave in a daze. When the earl is the boss of the town, can you still bargain?
”
At this time, another young man stood up. The young man had an active mind. He usually ran to the town during the slack of farming, and he still had some understanding of Rhine’s various measures. He has a different view on this matter: “I think we can try it. The Palatinate Count has always been kind. In the previous famine years, he reduced the rent because of everyone’s demands. There is no reason to kill us all. And Even if the earl drives us away, we still have to admit new farmers into Canno to plant the land, and it will take a lot of effort to reform the farming method.
The young man’s analysis was very methodical, and he did not blindly pin his hopes on the kindness of the noble master. He also analyzed why he was likely to agree to their demands from the perspective of Rhine.
The other farmers were quickly persuaded by him: “Bally is right, why don’t we find a representative to try it?”
“Yeah, or let Barry go? The young man is sweet and can talk, maybe the earl Hearing joy, I agreed to our request.”
“That makes sense, I think Bally will do it.”
Bally couldn’t help but bring a smile to his face, he was naturally willing to take on the job. Barry didn’t have the opportunity to study, but he has been a smart guy since he was a child. When the Earl proposed reforms last time, he was the first to follow the trend, and now he has also benefited from it. This time, he is not only here to help these conservative old neighbors, but also to fight for a chance for himself to meet the Count.
Barry discovered that the Count has been acting frequently in recent years. Although he could not see the deep meaning behind many of the Count’s actions, he faintly realized that the Count needs people now, many, many capable people. He may not be the most literate and prestigious among them, but he has a bright mind, and it is possible that he will not be favored by the earl. It’s just that his status is low, and he can’t usually get in touch with the earl, and it is impossible to run to Blandings Castle carelessly, hoping that the earl will accept his self-recommendation like this.
Now is the best opportunity to have a formal meeting with the Count on behalf of the peasants in the Cannor region who have not accepted the previous reforms. Try to take advantage of this opportunity to let the earl see his talents, maybe the earl will have the idea of using him. At that time, his Bally can be regarded as one step to the sky.
Although Barry’s goal is not simple, his heart that hopes these old neighbors can also live a good life is not false. Before meeting the Count, he prepared well.
On the other hand, Rhine heard news from Joseph that the farmers who had not accepted the reform had sent a representative to talk to him in detail.
Rhine thought it was very interesting and invited people in.
The guy who came in wasn’t very fancy, but he was clean, obviously his best outfit. Barry’s eyes are very flexible. After entering the castle, he tried his best to restrain his curiosity. He didn’t look around, but glanced quickly when he couldn’t restrain himself.
When Barry saw Rhine, he was shocked by his natural aura. He immediately saluted Rhine, but he couldn’t help but think, do nobles all look like this? Is it true that people are born to belong to different classes, and in any case, they can’t cross through the efforts of the day after tomorrow?
This sudden thought made Barry’s heart heavy, and the ease he had before entering the castle no longer existed, and he was even a bit late and nervous, and his palms were sweating.
Rhine asked people to serve the “famous” simple refreshment of the Palatinate family, and said, “Your name is Barry, right? Let’s drink some hot tea before talking.”
Barry nodded again and again, picked up the teacup, and smelled the rich The tea was fragrant, and I took a quick sip, which burned my tongue. But he didn’t dare to show it, so he had to endure it, and it took a while to feel more comfortable. With this commotion, his mind went blank, let alone the question of whether he was nervous or not, he didn’t even remember what he wanted to say before.
Or Rhine reminded: “Bally, listen to Joseph, you are here on behalf of those farmers, do you have anything to say about farming?”
Barry woke up after this, and he felt that his performance was extremely poor. Ever since he met the Count, he has been very irrational, and his self-confidence has disappeared, even with his nimble little brain. Barry now doesn’t expect himself to be valued by the earl through his outstanding performance, he only hopes that he will not be too rude in front of the earl.
Bally said: “Sir, it is like this. Our farmers who did not participate in the last reform are aware of their mistakes and want to reform with everyone. But the choice you gave me at that time mentioned that if there was no Participate in the reform and will terminate the contract with the farmers after this year, which means that they can no longer stay in Canno, and use your method to plant.”
Rhine raised his eyebrows and heard a key word: “They?”
Barry nodded and explained a little embarrassedly: “Yes, I participated in the reform proposed by you, my lord, and I planted turnips and alfalfa in the fields, and my cattle and sheep have grown stronger. Listen to my family. It was discussed that we should eat meat this year.”
Rhine smiled and said, “Since you participated in the reform, how could you run over and become the representative of those who did not participate in the reform?”
Bally said: “On the one hand, I want to do something for them, and on the other hand, I don’t think you will really drive them away, Lord Count.”
As for the motive for wanting to show his talent in front of the Count, he shamelessly said it in front of Rhine.
Rhine quite liked this young man. When he first came in, Rhine saw the ambition in his eyes. Rhine likes innocent and kind people, but he also likes ambitious people. As long as you don’t wantonly hurt others to achieve your own selfish interests, there is nothing wrong with relying on your own ability to strive for a better life and carry out a bigger cause. So even if he knew that Hillier was not completely loyal, Rhine was still willing to reuse him, and when Hillier was loyal to him, he would not treat him differently because of Hillier’s past.
Rhine said mildly: “Why do you think I won’t drive them away?” The
earl’s gentle attitude gave Barry a lot of encouragement. Coupled with the disorder when he came in, he didn’t care whether he could leave a good impression on the earl, but instead He expounded his understanding with great ease. As he explained to those farmers, he felt that the fundamental purpose of the count was to reform and increase income, not to drive away farmers who did not obey his orders. If it was for the latter, the Earl would not have proposed the so-called choice from the beginning, and would have simply ordered these farmers to do it.
Rhine is very happy to see such a smart guy approaching his door. He is indeed short of talent, and a smart guy like Barry who takes the initiative to find it is obviously a good sign. Maybe next time, there will be a steady stream of talents. ?
Rhine affirmed Barry’s analysis and said: “You are right, if the farmers are willing to make reforms, I am happy to keep them in Canno. And this year’s bumper harvest is likely to attract farmers from other places to come too. When I arrive in Canna, I need someone to manage this matter for me. My housekeeper can do it naturally, but he is too busy and needs someone to help him share the burden. Mr. Barry, are you willing to take on this job?”
Barry was excited He was speechless, looking at Rhine’s dark eyes, he almost burst into tears.
“Of course I do! Lord Count, I am willing to do things for you!”
