Chapter 71: Past stories

Everyone in the tavern, when you said these things in one word, there was an old voice on the side: "You guys are still too young."
Xiao Chen looked back. It was an old man with a white beard. He was holding a wine glass and sat on a small table beside the tavern. The old man had gray hair and deep wrinkles on his face, but there was a look in his face. With a shrewd look, he looked at the villagers with disdain, as if to despise their views.
"Daddy Anlock, what story are you going to tell again?" The pub owner asked.
"You said that this territory has changed from Pargos? I have said long ago that this was how it was. The Feng Wen family has always had a weird tradition, but this is not the case with the old Lord Pargos's father. Yes, when Pargos started to use these old methods, "said the old man of Anlock.
"Nonsense? Why haven't you heard of this before?" Everyone said in a puzzled way.
"Nonsense, you know it by leaving dim sum. Did you find that there is an old ditch under the new ditch when you dig the ditch? Isn't that house a ready-made old house before the public warehouse was made? It's not remodeled, so it's so suitable for doing What about the public warehouse? Weapons and armor of the Warriors, there are a lot of old things, where do you think it came from? "Anlock took a sip of the ale," I didn't say it before, because it was given to Do you guys hear a fart? But today this young man looks comfortable to me, he asked me and said hello. "
"You mean, there have been lords who have done the same thing as Baron Pargos before?" Xiao Chen asked.
Father Anlock said: "I am the oldest in the town, and I know more. Most of the fathers here, even grandpas, are not natives here, many of them were recruited by Pargos. Refugees. "
He touched his ears, and there was a protrusion on it, which was sharper than ordinary people. "My ancestors have elven blood, so they live longer than the average person, and now they are more than a hundred years old. When I was a child, it was Palg His grandfather was the lord here, and he did a lot of things similar to Pargos. "
"Then why it wasn't implemented when Pargos' father was in charge?" Xiao Chen asked.
"Well, how do we civilians know what the nobility thinks?" Said Father Anlock.
The pub owner said: "Dad, I can hear you boasting that you used to make an account for the father of Baron Lord? If there were any changes in the previous generation of the Feng Wen family, you still do n’t know? However, what you said is true Is it right? If we continue to do this to us now, will a generation of good days be unsustainable? "
"Hey, this kind of good-looking life is the most fragile. It can not be sustained for a simple reason. For example, fighting with nearby lords, for example, many people died in disasters, such as Kingdom ’s. A order, or spread it to an heir who wo n’t manage.
Father Anlock looked a little sad, he sighed:
But it ’s normal to think about it, if your father left you with a particularly rich territory, The food is full out of the warehouse, and the cattle and sheep are not able to eat it. Why do you have to work hard like your father? Pargs ’grandfather spent thirty years making it rich. His After the death of his grandfather, the dad only spent ten years to ruin his family. He is not a bad guy, and he is also generous to the leaders, otherwise the Feng Wen family will not maintain a good reputation. But A lord who is sloppy but does not want to make money will always make the territory poorer.
auzw.com Oh, yes, not only him, but his wife too. Pargos' father relied on his wealth when he was young and married a great beauty known in the circle of noble ladies around, but this beauty was also a master of money. The vast wealth of the territory was used by them in paintings, sculptures, jewelry and the like. "
"But what about the wealth of those leaders?" Evans asked. "They should have accumulated a lot of wealth in the good days before? I heard from my father that he had just been recruited by Lord Pargos." At that time, this was a terrible and terrible territory. Many houses were empty and no one lived at all. "
Father Anlock shook his head and smiled bitterly: "If you are on a boat, the boat is about to sink, you will swim again, will you stay on the boat, or will you run away?"
"Of course it is to escape." People around said one after another.
"That's not enough. Those residents who have the ability, the ability, and some family background, seeing the momentum is wrong, they have already found a way to leave. At that time, most people were free people, and they really had to go to the lord. The solution. However, the more territories you leave, the more unsustainable you will be. In a few years, the last baron master will have to rely on changing the seller ’s life. You know that many of Suero ’s merchants were a generation or two ago. People here? It was the residents who went out at that time, united together to do business, and then did it. "
"So Paglas is different from his father again?" Xiao Chen asked.
"Pargus had taught him arithmetic before. This child, after ten years of age, hadn't had a good life. At that time, the old baron's house had already decayed. He often owed debts, and there would be nobles and rich businessmen around him. Debt collection, and later the old baron couldn't hold on, and died of illness. Not only his mother died of illness. He was forced by the creditors to do nothing, so he had to sell the rest of the family, and went to Wangdu, a friend of his father. A knight servant at home. Then he fought against the Empire and earned some military power. Pargos later returned to the territory and began to govern this place. Many of your homes were recruited by him at that time and then moved here. of."
"It seems that behind is a young lord who used the ancestor's method to revive the family?" Xiao Chen asked.
"Yeah, it's normal to be fed up with poverty and gas, and it's normal to want to go back to Grandpa's old way?" Said Father Anlock. He wanted to add a few more words, but then the pub door was pushed open. Two men dressed as soldiers came in.
"It's the Warriors." Someone whispered.
A slightly older warrior asked: "We heard that there are strangers here asking about the territory and the baron. Didn't the baron say anything about this? No one is allowed to say anything outside. I heard you outside. The story is very lively, what the is going on? "
The people in the tavern looked at each other without knowing how they said it.
When the soldiers of the Warriors were about to question these people, Xiao Chen stood up and said, "In fact, I asked more, and they told me the story."
