Chapter 109 The wheat is ripe and Aaron goes crazy.
The wheat in Antolia has indeed ushered in the harvest season.
Leon responded to the Duke's order in early June and led the Antolian militia and Lapruk warriors to march north.
Then go all the way north, first conquer Oak City, and then go down to South Valley City.
Now he is waiting for work in Nangu City, killing the Duke of Galicia who originally wanted to rebel. It has indeed been nearly a month.
Therefore, as early as when Stan led the mercenaries of Antolia and set off from the Thorn Territory, Aaron made important additions to the finishing work after capturing the city of Parma.
The first of these is to bring more refugees back.
A few months ago, when Leon led his army to rescue the Gray Water Castle that was invaded by plateau hounds, Viscount Antolia redefined what a refugee was.
And now...
Aaron has given a very reasonable explanation of the concept of refugees based on Leon.
Although the city of Parma did not suffer much damage, but... the Duke is dead!
With the Duke dead and D'Or imprisoned, wouldn't the city of Parma become a terra nullius?
And if the lords are all gone, then wouldn’t it mean that all the civilians and serfs living in this city have become refugees, one by one?
This logic sounds very reasonable at first glance, and if you think about it carefully, it is also very reasonable.
After all, although the city of Parma is now in the hands of the Antolians, this is only a temporary occupation.
When the war is over, only Wilbert I can decide the final ownership of the city of Parma. Therefore, the principle of the Antolians is to gather as much as they can, and strive to make it more hairy than plucked geese.
All people and money were evacuated.
"Don't worry! Antoria's mercenaries have already collected refugees in Gray Water Castle, and there are still some experiences that can be followed."
Faced with the conditions issued by the revenue officer, Stain immediately assured him.
First recruit high-end talents such as blacksmiths and carpenters, and then young adults, young women and girls.
Antolia's mercenaries are very familiar with a whole set of business processes.
...
Antolia.
When Stan led the mercenary army to raid the city of Parma, the development of Antolia, or the entire Antolia region including the Thorn Territory and the Southwest Highlands, did not stop.
Under the auspices of Aaron, a new batch of settlers are already on their way to the mining town, and warm stone, iron ore from the southwest highlands, and red cordyceps from the abandoned land are also being continuously transported to Thorns. collar.
Since there is no business in the Antolia region, the current chaotic situation in the kingdom has not actually had much adverse impact on the development of Antolia.
On the contrary, because Leon and Stan took away nearly two thousand soldiers, Antolia's food pressure dropped sharply.
After all...
during this journey north, Antolia, who was poor and short of food, was just a mediocre little guy who only needed to be responsible for sending people. As for the rest of the logistical supplies and military supplies, they were all Supplied by the Duke of Galicia and other nobles from the south of the kingdom.
But that was before!
Now, Antolia will no longer be short of food!
Standing at the edge of the farmland, Aaron felt particularly excited.
Looking around, there is an endless expanse of golden color in the vast fields. The warm wind blows through the plump ears of wheat, setting off layers of waves in this eye-catching field, like a golden ocean with waves.
After several months of careful cultivation, the thin stalks of wheat seemed to be unable to support the heavy ears of wheat, and each one had their heads hung down, as if exuding the fragrance of wheat.
Aaron has lived in Antolia for so many years, but has he never seen such a scene?
Not only him, but also the people who worked in the fields themselves were astonished by the fruits of their labor.
There has always been arable land in Antolia.
However, because the land is too barren, Antolia's agricultural harvest has never been ideal, so that in the past years, even the most basic self-sufficiency was a luxury.
But now, everything has changed.
In other words... Ever since young Leon took over the title of Viscount Antolia and took over this vast fiefdom, everything has become different.
Until this moment, Aaron clearly remembered what he was thinking when his lord used the Black Earth Generation Technique for the first time.
Shock? Excited? excited?
neither.
It's more of doubt and disbelief.
After all, to Aaron at the time, what the Viscount was thinking was too unbelievable.
The land of Antolia has been like this for so many years.
Moreover, looking around the Kingdom of Andal, the black earth generation technique Leon mentioned was unheard of.
Although moon mushroom trees cannot be said to be everywhere in Antolia, they can be found basically everywhere. Can the powder of moon mushrooms improve the land?
Aaron had always had reservations about it.
The reason why he agreed was entirely because Leon had just taken over and he didn't want to disobey the young viscount.
But what he didn't expect was that what Leon did next was completely beyond his cognition.
The moment the earth tamper made its first roar driven by the warm stone, Aaron's whole worldview seemed to have been dealt a heavy blow.
Immediately afterwards...
the dark land appeared outside the city of Thorn Territory, and cultivated farmland replaced the barren wilderness.
And now, the plump ears of wheat are announcing to everyone the arrival of a new era, announcing that Antolia will soon get rid of the embarrassing situation of completely relying on imported food.
Even though Aaron had done enough mental construction and prepared himself mentally during this period, he still couldn't help but freeze in place whenever he stood on the edge of the golden wheat field in front of him.
"Harvest!"
After taking a deep breath, Aaron finally said in a deep voice.
As the words fell, the impatient citizens immediately waved their sickles.
Even Aaron, the chief steward of the Jimena family, personally grabbed a sickle and walked into the golden sea of wheat in front of him.
He held the wheat straw with his left hand and the sickle with his right hand. He gently pulled it towards the back, and the golden wheat straw was immediately cut off at the waist.
For Aaron, who is over 50 years old, this kind of physical work is undoubtedly extremely hard.
However...
when he eagerly peeled off a golden grain of wheat and put it into his mouth without hesitation, Aaron only felt filled with joy.
This is the food grown by the Antolian people!
