Chapter 393: 'Difficult'

Outside of Wind, Porus looked at the farmland and licked his chapped lips, smiling a little.

He was a farmer, his father was a farmer, his grandfather was also a farmer, his ancestors had been farmers for generations, he himself did not feel anything bad about this, but when he was a child, he wondered why he was not the son of a merchant or a blacksmith, and as for 'why he was not the son of a noble family', he could not even think of it.

He was content with his current life, though he also liked the old duke, who had lived under his rule for generations, and who had been kind to them as commoners, at least not 'exploiting' them as he had heard from adventurers and merchants say that the nobles of other realms had done - a word he had only recently learned from his daughter.

Although he enjoyed living under the rule of the old duke, he liked the present even more!

He was only a farmer, and he could not choose his origin, nor could he choose a ruler, but they were satisfied with the head maid who now ruled them.

They are very grateful to the lord for not doing his job, and it is precisely because of the lord's lack of business that they have the good life they have now.

The lord can lead the knights to protect them like an old duke, and although the lord always says, 'That's protecting your property,' everyone knows what that's all about.

The maid is able to lead them to a better life, just like the farmland in front of them!

In the past, they worked tirelessly and tirelessly for a whole year, and in the end they did not harvest much grain – at least compared to last year's 'big harvest', the harvest in previous years was indeed not much.

Now they have new farming tools and new ways of farming, and even if they work leisurely, they will be able to harvest a lot of grain in the autumn.

Now, a farmer in the neighborhood has 'rented' a 'cart' with him, and the ox or donkey pulls it in front, and he can easily complete the sowing of a field of land, and the 'efficiency' has been greatly improved compared to beforeβ€”a word that his daughter also taught him.

When everything was done, Porus began to feel a little bored.

In the past, this would never have happened, because whenever he finished his work, it was time for dinner, and when dinner was over, it was time to go to bed again.

He has always been like this, and he used to complain about why the farmland is so big, but for the sake of livelihood, for the harvest, even if the farmland is big, he has to continue to work, as long as he is not tired, he must continue to work.

But now, he has begun to feel that his farmland is a little too small, so small that after he finishes his work, the time is only 'noon'...... It's just too fast!

"Daddy, Daddy......"

Porus heard his daughter's cry, turned his head quickly, and saw that his daughter was running towards him.

Seeing his daughter's hurried appearance, Porus had a bad premonition in his heart, and hurriedly asked in a loud voice, "Lisa, what's wrong?"

Then he looked up again, and the sun was hanging overhead, that is, it was only noon, why did his daughter run back?

The school in Wende City does not include food and lodging, and the tuition fee for a semester is very small, and if Porus used to think that tuition was expensive, he no longer thinks so.

The daughter learned how to calculate in school, and then she calculated the tuition fee for a semester, and the cost of breakfast and lunch for a semester, as well as the cost of textbooks, and finally came to a conclusion that the cost of a student in school far exceeds the tuition fee, not to mention, their breakfast and lunch food often appear meat, which is already very valuable.

Over the course of a semester, the average student will lose at least three gold coins or more per student at the town hall!

Because of this, Porus has always been grateful to the maid master, but seeing that his daughter is in a hurry now, he wonders if something is going on at school?

He greeted him with a sad face, but when he looked closer, he found that his daughter had a bright smile on her face.

Before Porus could ask a question, his daughter Lisa said eagerly, "Daddy, Daddy, go to the town hall!"

Porus was stunned, not knowing why his daughter said this, although he had finished half a day's farm work, but he had to do some other farm work next.

It was so hot, and if it weren't for the wooden shed that the head maid had built for them, Porus would have taken refuge under some shade by now.

"Porus, what's wrong?"

Porus and Lisa turned their heads to see their neighbor Danny walking up with a hoe, sweating profusely and looking like he had just finished his work.

Danny walked in and saw Lisa, and was surprised, "Lisa, aren't you supposed to be at school now? Why are you back?"

"Uncle Danny!"

Lisa beckoned to Danny and said hello, but then her face changed and she said urgently, "No, no, it's not the time to say hello! Dad, Uncle Danny, go to the city hall!"

Porus had just put down his heart, because looking at Lisa's appearance, it didn't look like something was wrong, but after hearing this, he and Danny, who was also a little surprised, looked at each other.

"Lisa, what the hell is going on?" asked Porus.

"That's it, it's ......"

When it was time to speak, Lisa stuttered, not knowing what to say, but she was sweating profusely.

Looking at his daughter's eager appearance, Porus couldn't help but ask, "Lisa, you relax first, relax first, and then speak slowly." ”

Lisa swallowed, and after taking a few deep breaths, she finally relaxed a little, and remembered what to say.

"Dad, that's right. ”

Although she was still a little stammering, Lisa had already sorted out what she wanted to say, "Our teacher told us, because Dad, you rarely go into the city, and it is difficult to get some new announcements, so he told us, let's pass on the news to you." ”

After a pause, Lisa took a deep breath and continued, "The maid has decided to open up the farmland, and you can sign up from this afternoon......

"Wait a minute, Lisa, did you say that the maid master has decided to open up the farm?" Danny asked with a look of disbelief, "but what does the maid master have to do with us?"

"It's related!"

Nodding her head, Lisa replied obediently: "Because the maid master not only wants to continue to develop to the south, but also to the east, there are many places to explore, but the maid master is not ready to call new farmers, our teacher said, the maid master should coordinate with the farmers in Wende City, on the basis of the original farmland, merge the farms of other families, and let those farmers who have lost their farmland go south, or east, relatively speaking, the farmers who move away can get a lot of compensation, such as crop seeds, fertilizer, and farm tools, The problem of the house, the city hall will help to solve. ”

Speaking of which, Lisa hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to tell the story: "Our teacher said that if we move out, the city hall may give us some 'farm tools' for free, and those farm tools will be ours in the future......"

"Yes......" Porus let out a long sigh, finally understanding why Lisa was so anxious.

Although Lisa's words were very tempting, and the maid never broke her word, this kind of thing related to the family's livelihood ......

After Porus and Danny looked at each other, they patted their daughter's head, shook their heads and sighed: "Lisa, this kind of thing can't be rushed, we need to plan slowly......"

Watching his daughter's expression slowly fade, Porus sighed again.

Although he didn't want to discourage his daughter, he also knew that Lisa was caring about them, but this kind of thing ...... It's not like you can do it!
