Chapter 40 The Lord

After dinner, the lord called the butler and asked, "Did you find the bread today? It tasted pretty good, and it even had a sudden attack."

"Atonement, Master." Although he said this, the housekeeper did not look panicked, and the lord did not mean to blame him. "This was brought by the eldest master."

"Oh, he just went out to return to the provincial capital today, if I remember correctly."

"Yes, Master. It seems that I met it on the street. Someone brought this bread to sell. When the eldest master encountered it, he sent two yuan back. There was not much bread today. The eldest master asked someone to send some to the mansion every day, and a carriage was also used to credit them."

"Oh? Are they from our territory?" asked the lord, as if wondering that there are such capable people in his territory who can make delicious bread.

"Yes, it's from Tamu Village on the other side of the mountain. It is said that a man named Yao Lao taught his students." The butler explained to the lord.

"Oh, Lao Yao..." The lord felt that he must have heard of this person, but he couldn't remember it.

"Master, after the wife gave birth to the third young master, she was weak. She asked the Yao Lao to go deep into Shitou Ridge to collect medicine to nourish her body." The butler reminded his master.

"I remembered that he went out for adventure when he was young and came back later. No wonder he could make this kind of bread. Maybe he had been to the imperial capital. This kind of bread was only available there. When I was promoted to a viscount, I had tasted this kind of bread. At that time, I wanted to learn from the entourage, but the people in the imperial capital were above the top and ignored the people I sent. It was really outrageous!"

The lord remembered his experience in the imperial capital, and he became more and more angry the more he thought about it. He had just been promoted to viscount and was granted the title of imperial capital. He saw this kind of toast on the streets of the imperial capital. He liked it very much, and it was much better than the old-fashioned method. He showed his identity and wanted his followers and boss to learn the skills of making bread.

Unexpectedly, the boss not only did not teach, but also mocked them, saying that a small viscount was regarded as a figure. The Duke of the Imperial Capital captured a lot of people, and the Earl was already a minion, let alone a viscount. They had seen it in the Imperial Capital Emperor. They also said that you, the country bumpkins, thought it was a good thing when they saw it, and drove them away, thinking that they had affected their business.

The lord was so angry that I didn’t know that I had the sweetness. There were only 4 dukes with real titles in the empire, and they guarded the empire on the border of the empire. Even if there were no territorial palace nobles, the dukes would not have more than two hands. The extra dukes were yourselves, md.

But the lord did not dare to take action, and he would lose face with the civilians. Moreover, the officials of the imperial capital would definitely protect the people of the imperial capital. The lord was not a direct subordinate of the emperor, but a vassal of the Duke of Kweitah.

The full name of the lord is Gabriel Sainthbury. His territory is called Sainthbury, abbreviated as Sainthbury. He is in his early 40s this year. Sainthbury was originally a baron territory. It is located in the south of Vifer Province, close to Stone Ridge. It has a remote geographical area and is not rich in resources. Fortunately, the territory has a salt lake, which can make some money. Because the salt lake is not big and the salt produced is not much, it can only be sold in the territory and several surrounding territories, and it cannot make much money.

13 years ago, the Shawell Empire and the Silver Sword Empire on the west were caused by a newly discovered mineral near Lake Tabernina at the border, and the unexpected death of the imperial concubine who was married to the Shawell Empire, so a war broke out between the two empires.

This war lasted for three years. Originally, the war was limited to the vicinity of Lake Tabernina. Later, both sides fought a real fire and blossomed in full swing on the border line, almost forming a full-scale war.

Gabri also participated in that war. The lord had the obligation to fight for his throne, and he brought soldiers from his own territory and prepared weapons and armor by himself. The throne only provided food and pension.

Although Gabriel's vassal was not the emperor himself, but the Duke of Kweuta, the Duke of Kweuta was still the territory of the empire and did not have the independence and still had the obligation to fight for the emperor.

Speaking of which, the Duke can already become a principality independent in legal principles, but if the monarchy has strong national strength, few principalities seek independence regardless of their care.

In that war, neither empire took advantage of it. Later, the countries around them began to move. The two empires felt that there was no point in fighting like this, so they reached a peace talk.

Because this war lasted for more than three years, it is called the Three Years War.

Gabri almost destroyed his family in the Three Years War. The empire did not provide enough pensions. In the later period, even the food and grass were supplemented by himself. Both empires could not continue to fight. The most important thing was that there was no profit. Although Gabrie paid a great price, it was not too much loss. After the war, the title was upgraded to one level and became a viscount.

Because he was not directly under the Imperial Emperor, Gabrie's achievements in the war were underestimated. Although he had promoted his title and expanded his territory a lot, he did not build a city. Originally, each viscount could have a city. If there was no territory, the Empire would assist in building the city and bear some of the costs.

Gabrie's city construction assistance was gone, and it was replaced with some rewards. Although it was not small, it was much worse than city construction and was not enough to build a city. In fact, even if there was assistance, there was almost no city construction immediately. Most of them would take generations to accumulate, or there were cities in the territory.

After Gabriel became Viscount, he has been saving money in the years since he became Viscount, hoping to upgrade his town to a city. Unfortunately, the gap is still a bit big.

The damage of that war was indeed too great. The population of Viscount Gabrie's territory had been reduced a lot and had only recently recovered. The Duke of Kweuta had planned to become a principality independently, but after this war he gave up the idea and still existed as the province of Vifer, the Silver Sword Empire.

After all, Vifer Province and the Shawell Empire bordered the Shawell Empire, and independence may face the attack of the two empires. Even if the Silver Sword Empire is concerned about the old love, the Shawell Empire will not show mercy. During the Three Years War, the Duke of Kweitah's troops caused considerable trouble to the Shawell Empire. The Shawell Empire suffered several great losses in the hands of the Duke.

The territory of the Duke of Kweitah is Vifer Province, and the main city is Wickham City. Wickham City is located by the Nigar River. The Nigar River flows upstream and you can reach the imperial capital. There are only six cities in the entire Vifer Province, so it is not too unlucky to have Viscount Gabrie without a city.

Viscount Gabrie's eldest son served in the Knights in Wickham City and was almost becoming a formal knight.

Viscount Gabriel has five children. The eldest son said earlier that the second child was a daughter, 17 years old, named Peer Sainthbury, studying at the Conservatory of Music in Wickham City. The third child was still a son, named Nicol Sainthbury, who was already 16 years old. Viscount was about to send him to the Knights in the provincial capital in a few days. The fourth son was still the second son, Flower Sainthbury, 12 years old, who was learning to read and write, and was always criticized by his younger daughter. The little girl was named Deer, 5 years old, who was the one who snatched Flower's bread in front. Her biggest hobby was bullying Flower.
