v6 Chapter 120: Farming is worse than working (1/2)
After leaving the Duke's Palace, the Duke of Windsor, a light car, took only one housekeeper and put on a very ordinary cotton cloth. He took a worn-out carriage from the back door of the Duke's house and slowly sailed into Canberra. ☆→,
The sights seen along the way are not much different from each other, but if you look closely, you will find that the street is clearly deserted than usual.
In the past, I kept screaming and selling in the street. At this time, there were fewer people. The number of people who were willing to stop on the street naturally was much less.
Looking at the two sides of the street, the shops that were originally densely closed were closed at this time. There are even a few shops that seem to be in a hurry. Even the gates are not tight. You can see that there are only a few tramps lying. Among them, use this as your own temporary residence.
Seeing this situation, the Duke of Windsor could not help but frown slightly.
”Rickon, why do you say this? Even if other places add business opportunities because of the **** new flying business association, this does not mean that we have no money to earn in the southern provinces. Why do these merchants directly shut down here? The store is leaving here?”
The middle-aged man who looks like a housekeeper is Ricken in the mouth of the Duke of Windsor. It is different from other people in the face of the Duke of Windsor. Even the war is different. This theory is calm in front of the Duke of Windsor. Although it is still respectful, there is nothing. Awesome look.
Hearing the question of the Duke of Windsor, Riken silently for a moment, then raised the whip in his hand and let the carriage turn in the direction.
The size of the Duke of Windsor grew up with Ricken, knowing that his temperament has always been the case, and he did not care about his question.
But seeing Ricken turned in the direction. The Duke of Windsor knew that he must have an answer in his heart. So I was silent. While watching the situation on both sides of the street, I drove slowly outside the city in a carriage.
The carriage with the Duke of Windsor and Ricken swayed out of the West Gate of Canberra City, and then traveled two or three kilometers to the west, and saw a large village with about 100 households appearing in the carriage. before.
At this time, it is in the deep spring season, and the southern province is close to the southern part of the mainland. There are already scattered golden meanings in the wheat fields on both sides of the road.
At this time, it should be the most important moment before the harvest. The farmers should take care of the mature wheat field every day, but the Duke of Windsor swept away. However, I saw only a few scattered farmers in the wheat fields, and there was no need to be busy at all.
The Duke of Windsor couldn't help but frown again.
”The lazy farmers are still lazy at such a critical time! Don't they know that they are going to the spring harvest soon?”
Ricken didn't look over the Duke of Windsor and shook his head: ”Master, not that they are lazy, but they have no one.”
The Duke of Windsor glanced: ”What do you mean?”
Ricken pointed to the field in the distance: ”Look, there are some old people in the field, and no young people can be seen.”
The Duke of Windsor set the **** and looked at the surrounding fields carefully, and found that it was. Can't help but be more surprised.
”Why is this? Young people in the village? Are they all lazy? Or something? Riken, what do you know?”
Ricken shook his head and didn't answer. Instead, the carriage drove to a farmland and jumped.
In this farmland, an old farmer who seems to be at least sixty years old is bending over to check the field. After hearing the sound, he raises his head and then sees Ricken jumping from the carriage and coming over.
”This old man, why are you alone here, your family? Sons and daughters? Why didn't they come?”
The old farmer swept Ricken, although he saw that the other party might be different from himself, but he was very amiable in his tone and manners. He put down his alert and smiled and said: ”They, they all went out to work, leaving me the old man. And the old woman is taking care of this field at home.”
”Working?” Ricken showed a surprised expression on his face. ”Where do you work? Isn't Lian Tian planted?”
”They said that they are going to go to a place... What Neil's city is saying is a new flight...” After just vomiting these two words, the old farmer suddenly passed a trace of fear, coughed twice and put the back behind. I swallowed back.
Like Riken, he didn't even see the old farmer's movements. He blinked and continued to ask: ”What are you talking about? Isn't the Neil city supposed to be Saranir City? The place is in the province of Tural, but it is a bit far from here.”
I heard that there was no scruples in saying that the ”New Flying Chamber of Commerce” was a word that became almost banned in the southern provinces. The old farmer’s attitude instantly relaxed. He smiled and shook his head: ”What is far away? You can earn money. You can earn five gold coins at the end of the month, and you can even earn ten gold coins. It is no better than farming at home. If not, my wife and I are not good. I am not willing to leave here, I am afraid I will go to work with my two sons.”
”Oh? Can you earn ten gold coins a month? That's really a lot.” Riken looked up and looked around, and asked: ”I saw the old people like you in the field. Isn’t the family in the village like your family, the young man ran out to work?”
”Yeah, you can earn a few gold coins or even ten gold coins when you go out to work for a month. There are more than one hundred gold coins in one year. If you stay here to farm, you will be able to fill your stomach after paying the rent for the whole year. It’s not bad, don’t say gold coins, not even a few silver coins. Let you choose, how do you choose?” the old farmer asked.
