"Haha!
Don't worry, I'll stay here and recuperate. I won't cause any trouble, "André promised in a half-joking tone.
What he needed to do next was to modify his farming tools and promote new methods of planting and fertilizing. He wanted to make this huge valley his foundation in this world.
According to the area marked on the map, this manor was basically an endless plain. As long as he had enough manpower, he could develop at least a million acres of farmland. In addition to the large grassland and the lake in the central area, he could form a semi-enclosed independent kingdom. It wouldn't be a problem for hundreds of thousands of people to live here.
Of course, all of this was only on paper. Since there were only 240 households here, the area for farming was very small. It could only sustain the expenditure of the castle's garrison. The tenants only had enough to eat and wear. They didn't have much spare money at all. This could be seen from the clothes of the militia.
The most important thing now was to find a way to get enough manpower before the spring plowing. Otherwise, all of his plans would be in vain. He could only watch as large areas of good land were overgrown with weeds.
Apart from that, he also needed to plan the animal husbandry. There were already some livestock and poultry in the valley. Now that he had the slave warriors from the grassland kingdom, he could naturally increase the number of livestock. He believed that in a few years, cattle and sheep would be spread all over the valley and become the largest meat producer in Lincoln City.
Just as André was thinking about his plan, Crystal, who had been standing on the side for a long time, couldn't bear it anymore. She coughed hard and said, "Cough!
Cough cough … "
"Oh!
Sorry, I was a little too engrossed in my thoughts. "
André, who came back to his senses, was a little embarrassed. He hurriedly apologized and waved at Tavelyn at the same time.
"Eunice, take this lady to the treasury to get 400 gold coins."
"Yes, Master.
Madam, please follow me. "The half-devil gestured for her to follow him and led the way.
Crystal glanced at Eunice's enchanting back and smirked. She lowered her voice and said meaningfully, "I really didn't expect you to have such a hobby when you're still underage. You even took in a Tavelyn as a servant."
Hearing this, André immediately shook his head with a bitter smile. "Whether you believe it or not, there's nothing between me and her. There's never been any relationship between master and servant."
He felt that he was the perfect example of being unjustly implicated this time. He had been abstinent ever since Serena left, and he almost made the young and seductive widow his own yesterday. However, he failed at the last moment, and he didn't know when he would have another chance next time …
As for Eunice, it was completely out of good intentions, and there was nothing else mixed in it. He didn't know what this female priest's brain was made of.
"Ha!
Don't explain, I have no intention of interfering with your private life. "
After saying that, Crystal winked playfully like a young girl and turned around to leave the room. She followed Teflon to withdraw the money.
Less than two minutes after she left, Chloe, Elsa, and Beverly appeared at the door.
André, who had just dressed up, asked with a smile, "How was it? Did you sleep well last night?"
"Not bad. Without those rude barbarians, I fell asleep very quickly. I didn't wake up until half an hour ago.
Tell me, what are your plans for today? "
Perhaps it was because she had a good rest, but Chloe regained her usual vigor. Her two beautiful big eyes revealed a trace of excitement.
In contrast, Elsa's appearance was much worse. Not only were there dark circles under her eyes, but her face was also a little gloomy. It was obvious that she didn't have a good rest. It was very likely caused by the kissing and touching last night.
As for the little loli, she was completely carefree. She followed her mother and looked around, very curious about the structure of the castle.
"Plans?
I plan to wash up first, have breakfast, and then ride around the valley. If you are interested, you can come along. Bring two crossbows and a few arrows. I heard from the militia that there are often wild beasts near the lake in the center of the basin. We can also hunt on the way. "André didn't even think about it and directly told them the entire itinerary.
What he wanted to do today was to observe the terrain and the farming methods of the tenants. He wanted to find out the areas that needed to be improved.
Observing the surrounding terrain, he wanted to distinguish which areas were suitable for farming and which areas were suitable for grazing.
In addition, he also wanted to develop a water system. After all, there was a large lake in the center of the valley. It was estimated that it was formed by the accumulation of rainwater over the years. It would be a waste if it wasn't used properly.
When she heard about hunting, Chloe's eyes instantly revealed a look of surprise. She jumped up happily, "Wow!
Hunting!
That's great!
I love hunting the most!
Anyway, I have to hurry and prepare the things. See you downstairs in a while! "
After she finished speaking, she lifted her skirt and hurriedly disappeared at the end of the corridor. It seemed that she was either going to change her clothes or to choose a bow.
Perhaps because of her guilty conscience, Elsa didn't speak after she entered the door and greeted him. She only lowered her head and didn't say a word. Instead, her daughter Beverly was unusually lively. She asked with a face full of excitement, "Teacher, can I go hunting too?"
Glancing at the widow who was fiddling with the corner of her clothes, André smiled and stroked the little girl's hair, "Of course!
Quickly change into comfortable clothes and pants, and change your wooden shoes into boots. We will set off after breakfast. "
"Hooray!"
The little loli shouted, and then ran down the stairs excitedly.
She had always longed to see the world outside of Lincoln City, and today was such a good opportunity. Naturally, she was overjoyed.
With Beverly's departure, the room became the same as last night. An ambiguous atmosphere quickly heated up. The young widow seemed to have foreseen something, and subconsciously clamped her legs together. Her neck and face became a little red.
André quickly closed the door, bolted it, and rushed up to Elsa to the bed. He kissed her passionately as he quickly unbuttoned the back of her skirt. In just half a minute, he had taken off the purple dress.
He was already unable to hold back his thirst. He was like a ferocious beast, biting his prey to his heart's content. He didn't give the other party any chance to resist or refuse.
"Stop!
Don't!
We will be discovered! "
Although Elsa also wanted to completely release her desires, she was relatively rational. She knew that it would be embarrassing if they were discovered by the passing soldiers and servants.
