Chapter 151 In and Out (Please subscribe!)

Viscount Conte has been in Idar County for a whole week.

In fact, according to Viscount Conte's original idea, he just came to talk to Bruno about life and ideals...

As a long-standing friend of the Stuart Family, the Conte Family, whose fiefdom is located in the Moore River Valley west of Stranglethorn Vale, can be regarded as the Stuart Family's closest political ally!

As early as Bruno's great-great-great-grandfather, the relationship between the two noble lords had been quite good.

In addition, there were no territorial disputes or economic disputes, so the Viscounts of Contes and Counts of Idar often visited each other, and if they encountered any major events, they would sometimes help each other.

Today's Viscount of Conte, Edward Conte, is nearly 60 years old and is a good friend of Bruno's father, the previous Count of Idar.

She even held Bruno in her arms when he was still an infant.

After Bruno's father died, it was thanks to the help of Viscount Conte that the then very young Bruno was able to defend the land of Idar in the Golan Heights.

You know, at that time, the Idar Territory was able to block the attack from the Soran Territory with the full support of Viscount Conte.

Therefore, although Bruno was a count, he always respected the old viscount.

Even before he traveled through time, the lawless prodigal son of his original self was never ostentatious in front of this old viscount and never showed off with the style of an earl.

Just this time...

When Viscount Conte arrived in Idar, he found out that Lord Bruno, Count of Idar, had actually gone out to sea a few days ago!

So, he silently put away the idea of ​​selling his daughter to Bruno.

Because, in the minds of the nobles of this era, only the poorest, most difficult, and lowest-class civilians would risk their lives to make a living in the ocean...

After all, the howling winds and raging waves in the ocean can easily overturn a fishing boat and bury the people on board at the bottom of the sea.

In Viscount Conte's opinion, if Bruno really got into the bad habit of taking risks at sea, his daughter would probably become a widow within a few days of her marriage...

However, although the idea of ​​selling his daughter was rejected by Viscount Conte himself before it was even mentioned, in addition to chatting about life with Bruno, Viscount Conte also came here for this important matter.

That is population! Although Bruno had bypassed Viscount Conte's territory, the Moor River Valley, when he was conducting public opinion propaganda earlier.

However, as Stranglethorn Vale is the second largest customs under the Idar Immigration Administration, most of the poor people from the south and west of the empire enter Idar through Stranglethorn Vale.

The Moore River Valley is the only way to reach the Stranglethorn Vale!

Therefore, when the civilians living in the Moore River Valley saw those people heading to Idar Territory with their families, they naturally couldn't help but go up and ask a few questions.

No matter what era it is, people tend to follow the crowd.

Although these people who have traveled thousands of miles to Idar Territory have not arrived yet, they are naturally willing to let more people go with them, because in this way, they will feel more confident.

So, three people make a tiger! Although the Idar people initially released the news that they would only give them land for farming, the benefits given by Idar were magnified dozens of times by the civilians who moved to Idar, and gradually it was described as a paradise on earth!

How could this not excite the people living in Conte Territory?

After all, they were only one Stranglethorn Vale away from Idar Territory, and it would only take two days to go back and forth. If it was true, then that would be great; but if it was false, then they could just go back to Conte Territory!

Therefore, as time went on, more and more civilians living in Conte Territory began to migrate to Idar Territory.

Although the conditions offered by the Idar people were far from being as favorable as described by others, they were still much better than those offered by most noble territories.

At least... as long as you are willing to work hard, you can always fill your stomach in Idar Territory, and even get better living conditions! So, one day a few months later, Viscount Conte was surprised to find that the number of free people in his territory had decreased by more than one-third!

After living for so many years, this was simply unheard of for Viscount Conte! So, after many investigations, Viscount Conte finally figured out the source of all this, and it turned out to be the young earl next door who always made him worry! What a sin! Could it be that... the earl's ability to squander money has advanced a step further, from only squandering his own noble territory to even squandering the noble territory next door? So, promoting his unmarried daughter... uh, no, promoting his beautiful daughter was actually just a side thing. Viscount Conte hoped that Bruno would drive back all the civilians who moved from Conte Territory, which was Viscount Conte's ultimate goal! Due to the geographical location of Conte Territory, all the refugees from the northern border had been accepted by Bruno long before entering Conte Territory.

Therefore, unlike those northern lords who are troubled by refugees, Viscount Conte is now troubled by the loss of population in his territory.

So, he finally made up his mind and wanted to come to Idar Territory to ask for an explanation, but Bruno was not in the territory.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

In fact, he didn't ask for anything else, just to drive back the civilians who originally lived in Conte Territory.

Today, Conte County can be said to have only outflows and no inflows, while Idar County can be said to have only inflows and no outflows.

Viscount Conte hopes to at least keep the population situation in Conte in a state of inflow and outflow, and replenish the lost population. Otherwise, the tax revenue of Conte will probably be much less next year!

Therefore, Viscount Conte temporarily settled down in Idar.

As for Old Ford, the former chief steward of Lord Idar, he naturally made all the arrangements for Viscount Conte.

After all, Viscount Conte had lived in Idar more than once or twice, and he even had guest rooms reserved in advance in the newly built sky garden.

When Viscount Conte was pulled to the front of the Sky Garden by the Idar people's carriage, the old man, who was over fifty years old, was stunned.

"This... is this the Hanging Garden built by Bruno?"
