When Yat and his party rode slowly in the southern valley, in the central part of Tignets County, the civil affairs officer Coub personally led the military affairs, creating two chief officials, a team of peasants and more than 30 households of leading people escorted three trucks of grain and wheat, a truck of wine, meat, fruits, vegetables and a truck of farm tools to march towards the manor called Shisong Fort. Along with the team were the new lord of Shisong Fort - the leader of the army flag knight Odo Fernando and two guards.

Shisong Castle was originally a fiefdom manor of Baron Bazer, the border. It was named after dozens of tall stone pine trees that were more than 500 years old in the mountains and forests in the northern part of the manor.

This place is located in the center of Tinets County. The land is relatively fertile and the people are relatively rich. The area is over 1,000 acres of cultivated land, and the number of 60 serfs and more than 200 people is originally a top-notch manor in Tinets County.

However, two years ago, Baron Bazer "died tragically" on the way back to Wincheston Manor; after Bazer's death, no one inherited the territory, and a powerful Bernards took advantage of the opportunity to occupy the manor and sent a retainer to govern it.

When Yat was rampant in the county, this manor belonging to the Bernard faction had suffered a lot. After the battle between the East and West Successors started, the manor gradually followed the trend and chose the camp, but unfortunately it chose the Western Army camp.

The following matter was very simple. At the end of last year, Baron Antayas was cleaning up the Western Army forces in the county, and only sent one knight to lead more than 30 peasant soldiers to capture the place. The retainer who was in charge fled early.

At that time, Yat had not been granted the title of Tignes, and Antaas would not be rude because of his mercy. Therefore, the food, supplies, gold, silver and wealth in Shisong Fort were basically swept away by him, and most of the young and strong serfs and gangs in the territory were captured by him.

After the manor was looted, the remaining people could not survive, so they had to take their families and escape from the manor to make another way to survive.

"Odo, at the end of last year, Baron Antayas attacked the Shisongburg Manor, and the manor was looted by the army. Some time ago, Scott personally investigated that there were only 21 households and 57 people left in the manor. The grain reserves were less than a month, and there were even a shortage of wheat plants for spring plowing."

"After leaving, I repeatedly told the Civil Affairs Bureau that the new lords' fiefs could be restored to their original state as soon as possible. Therefore, I urgently allocated 6,000 pounds of grain and 2,000 pounds of wheat from the public treasury and recruited 30 newly recruited households to Shisongbao. These were allocated to you by the Civil Affairs Bureau agent."

"This amount of food and food is definitely not enough, so I will gradually transfer grain and farming tools from Wincheston Manor, Southwest Farm and other places to Shisong Fort to let the leaders organize spring plowing as soon as possible. However, the food and livestock and farming tools in the future must be considered to be borrowed by Shisong Fort from the public, and we will use Shisong Fort to return the taxes from Shisong Fort within five years. So the fief tax you can get from Shisong Fort in the next few years, and you must be prepared for this."

"However, the land here is fertile and abundant, and it will definitely bring you a lot of rewards in a few years."

The civil servant Cooper, riding the green mule, was half shorter than Odo, who was riding a tall horse, but Odo, who was an adjutant of the army and a square flag knight, committed to falling behind half a horse and following the old Cooper and listening respectfully.

Odo absolutely respects Old Cooper. Old Cooper has a transcendent position in the military, political and civil affairs of the valley. Even the Viscountess Lotti respectfully calls the old man Uncle Cooper.

Of course, this old man not only gained a transcendent status by relying on Yat's trust and qualifications in the valley, but more because this old man with a beard over fifty years old is one of the creators of this paradise. In many things, the lord Yat just put forward ideas and deployed tasks, and the real implementation is almost the old guy.

He has a unique status, high qualifications, strong abilities and a kind personality. Many factors have made Old Cooper a well-deserved venerable in the valley.

"Old butler, I've caused you trouble. If it weren't for your hard work and the Civil Affairs Office, I'm afraid Shisong Castle would have been difficult to recover for more than ten years, and the five-year period was already very fast." Odo is also a witness to the construction of the valley. He knew the hardships of operating the territory. If he really put himself in full responsibility, he really didn't know when he could show it.

Kuber nodded, "Since you have entrusted me with the fief, I have to manage the territory for you. The Lord said that when you are successful and famous, you will see the scene of wealthy granaries and wealthy people when you return to the fief."

While speaking, the group had arrived at Shisongbao Manor and learned in advance that the new lord had arrived had already been waiting to greet him on the ground outside the damaged gate of the manor.

Odor stopped the horse and jumped off the horse and glanced at the people who knelt down on the ground. Except for the few men who looked like serfs, most of them were just gray-bellied old men, women with no clothes, and children with snot noses. Fortunately, the temperature in spring is getting milder, otherwise many people would not have frozen to death.

Looking at the "leaders" like refugees and beggars kneeling on the ground, Odo couldn't help but take a breath. These farmers are not farming, they are simply a group of hungry wolves who are sucking and eating flesh. What else can they do be wasted food?

Old Cooper couldn't help but shake his head when he looked at the group of ragged and disheveled guys on the ground, and cursed Antaas hard in his heart.

It is ugly, after all, it is also a fief of fief.

Scott, the garrison officer, and the craftsman, Lawrence, commanded the newly recruited lords dispatched and resettled from the city of Tignets and the original lords to kneel down and wait for the declaration of the new lord.

Seeing that he was ready, Kuber took off the mule's back with Odo's support, took out a canonized document from his arms, nodded at Odo, and began to read loudly to the "leaders" on the ground, "The amnesty order is specially enthroned 300 acres of fertile land in the Shisongburg Manor in Tinets County, 50 households, and buildings, roads, bridges, forests, lakes, rivers and palaces, the flag knights in the southern border of the army, Odo Fernando; from now on, Sir Odo Fernando ascended the throne to the lord of the Shisongburg Manor, granting the power of justice, taxation, military affairs, and people's livelihood in his territory, accepting the protection of the lord of the vassal, and fulfilling the obligation of vassals."

"The viscount of the frontier, the knight of the court guards, the military officer of the southern border of the palace, the commander of the southern border of the southern border of the palace, the viscount of Atwood Wells, the guardian and ruler of Tinets County, signed the seal."

After reading the enthronement document copied in sheepskin with an Ate seal and painted sealed by the paint, Kuber handed it to Odo, who was beside him. Odo bowed and raised his hand to take the enthronement document.

After taking the documentary, Odo stood upright and looked at the kneeling leaders. The leaders shouted, led by a middle-aged man, "Lord Odo Fernando."

The sound was not very neat and the tones were of different sizes, and Odo did not expect a group of hungry and frozen ghosts struggling on the brink of life and death to show the momentum of military soldiers saluting.

Odo took two steps forward, holding up the enthronement document in his hand and issued the first order to go to the fiefdom territory. "I, the leader of the palace frontier army, the lord of the Shisong Fort Manor, Odo Fernando issued the first order."

Odo paused so that everyone could hear it.

"From now on, I will entrust the management of Shisongburg Manor with the civil servants who are the magistrate of Viscount Yatwood Wells, and the civil servants will be responsible for the territorial affairs. The order issued by the civil servants is equivalent to my personal order. All those who do not obey will be able to take them to life and death!"

The old and new leaders who were kneeling on the ground had not yet understood why the new lord would entrust the jurisdiction of the territory to others, but the leading middle-aged man immediately took the lead in kowtowing and receiving the order, and everyone responded sparsely.

Even if the simple formal process is completed, Odo asked all the leaders to get up, and Scott waved his hand to greet the middle-aged man who had been leading the leaders.

The middle-aged man is actually only in his twenties and is a farmer in Shisongbao Manor. Because he has been squeezed by the lord for a long time, this man under thirty years old has already had a vicissitudes of life.

Scott pointed to the man whose clothes were kneeling in front of Odo, whose toes had been torn, and whose toes were exposed, "Mr. Odo, the original village elder of Shisong Castle and the housekeepers and servants of the manor mansion had died or fled. This is the farmer in the manor. Everyone calls him Tielipav, who is honest and reliable, and has some reputation in the manor. When I came last time, I asked him to temporarily manage the manor until the Civil Affairs Office took over. What do you think?"

"Brother Scott, the person you selected is of course good, I agree." Odo raised his hand and helped the middle-aged man up, who looked flattered.

"Baf, is the manor and mansion clean?" Scott asked.

"Lord, dear masters, the mansion has been cleaned up. Please welcome all of you at any time." Buff replied respectfully.

"Okay, old housekeeper, Lord Odo, Brother Lawrence, let's go in~"

The crowd entered the manor, and Cooper, who was bumpy all the way, took a rest in the manor mansion, while Scott and Lawrence took civil affairs officials and peasants to help Odo resettle the people and unload the food and supplies.

Odo also personally summoned the people to the people who were in charge and gave each household a gift - he took his own money to make an iron hoe of excellent quality for each household in the valley workshop. This is also the hope of Odo's leaders to work hard on farming and operate the territory.

In the evening, Odo held a simple but lively banquet in Shisongburg Manor in the name of the new lord, using the wine, meat, fruits and vegetables specially brought by the Civil Affairs.

The next morning, Cooper and several civil servants left the Shisongburg Manor. They had to rush back to the valley to prepare to take Angus and Bass, Kazak and others to the fiefdom territory, and the civil affairs were still busy.

The civil affairs department of Shisongbao Manor also left three officials to help straighten out common affairs. Odo and his servants will also return to Shangubeiguan Military Fort after two days of rest in Shisongbao.

This was specially arranged by Yat, so that Odo and others who have obtained the territory can experience the comfort of being the lord in person.

"Odo and his friends should have already taken the fiefdom territory in the past few days. You should stay and take the vocational territory. The place you enthroned is good. There are two mills and ten households in the Mill area by the river. Only two mills can collect tens of thousands of Finney's mill tax every year. There are dozens of acres of water irrigated land around the mill." Yat rode on his horse and walked on the small road on the bank of the river, casually saying to the guard officer Ron beside him.

This is the third day after the canyon basin was in danger. The road to continue south from the basin is very easy to walk compared to before. Obviously, this road is the passage for those brave mountain people to occasionally come out of the mountain. The road is not wide but it can allow the two horses to run in parallel. Everyone no longer has to cut the trenches and cut the vines and grass to open the way.

Moreover, there were no villages along the way, and there was no trace of people besides this road that left the mountain. Yat believed even more that the group of mountain people he met three days ago should be the guys who escaped from the pursuit of the mountain, such as bandits and bandits who fled in the mountains.

At this time, the Lameer Mountains on the right began to slowly lower, and everyone should be about to walk out of the valley.

Ron chewed the jerky bacon in his mouth and replied indifferently: "Master, I am really not very interested in fiefdom. My family has a lot of honors and loving land. My father and mother have received salary in the civil affairs. Now even Camill is with his wife, so our family is not short of money. Compared to being a young master in the territory, I prefer to follow you to explore. I have enjoyed enough of the mountains and rivers these days. As for the mill fiefdom, let Grandpa Kuber and his father worry about it. I don't have that leisure time~"

Yat also planned to criticize Ron for saying a few words. Matthew, who was exploring the way forward, drove his horse back, "Sir, ahead is the entrance of the canyon where the river flowed out of the valley. I rode my horse out to see. Outside the canyon is the Slow Hill Plain~"

"We're coming out of the valley?"
