I will finally be a partner in justice

I Will Become a Righteous Partner Chapter 282

More importantly, Shilang was afraid that the lord of Cornwall would not recognize him and would not let him in.

After all, after Cornwall became the territory of the Kingdom of Camelot, Baldwin and Yulpheus successively suppressed them, so although the territory was large, it was devastated.

Shi Lang was afraid that the Lord of Cornwall would be dissatisfied, so he instructed the Ager rule in advance to let the people enter the city by all means.

Although he had never dealt with Age Guiwen, Shirou believed in this man who had not sworn allegiance to him, whether it was a legend or his knowledge of Xingyue.

And the result was the same as Shiro thought. Ager Shiro completed his task perfectly, allowing Cornwall to open the city gate to welcome them in.

However, what surprised him a little was that the lord of Cornwall at this time was actually one of his future Knights of the Round Table, Gerant.

Gerant welcomed Shiro's arrival, but the people of Cornwall were different.

They are hostile to the people of Camelot, and even more hostile to the legendary son of Uther, "Arthur".

Of course, Uther destroyed the Kingdom of Cornwall and changed the kingdom to Camelot's territory.More importantly, during the reign of Baldwin and Yulfis, they continued to suppress Cornwall, resulting in a very poor standard of living in Cornwall.

At least, Shi Lang looked over at this moment, almost everyone in Cornwall was yellow and thin, and there was a hatred in his eyes.

He sighed deeply.

He knew that there was a thorny road ahead of him.

Gerant took Shi Lang to a castle that looked very beautiful.

This is the royal palace of the King of Cornwall during the Kingdom of Cornwall. It can be said to be the last card in Cornwall.

In fact, the interior is very simple, without the appearance of a palace at all.

But the sparrow is small and well-equipped.

The administrative office as the lord is not bad.

Gerant took Shi Lang to get to know his subordinate officials and some important Cornish nobles.

The officials greeted Asashiro with a smile one by one, but their eyes were full of alert.

Obviously, even though Votigeng had invaded, these officials and nobles were afraid that Shi Lang would touch their cake.

Shi Lang wanted to settle down for the time being, and he didn't intend to do anything for the time being, just haha.

At this time, Bedwell ran over and said to Shirou: "My king, every household brings not much food from Karnli, so I can only insist on it for five days at most. After five days, there will be no food."

Shi Lang nodded, then looked at Gerante, and asked, "Sir Gerante, how much food is left in the lord's warehouse? Can you lend me a second?"

Gerant said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Lord. As a lord loyal to Camelot, I am willing to contribute everything I have to Camelot. But I'm sorry that the food is originally from Cornwall. problem."

Gerant took Shi Lang to the grain warehouse of the castle.

There is only a shallow layer of oats and rye.

Gerant said: "This is all the food for the Lord of Cornwall."

Bedwell couldn't help complaining, and said: "Is that just a little bit? This...isn't even enough food for a thousand people a day?"

"Bedwell!"

Shi Lang blamed Bedwell, then looked at Gerante, and said, "Please don't take it to heart, Sir Gerante. Bedwell, like you, is a noble knight who cares about Camelot."

"My lord, I didn't take it to heart. It's just—this is indeed the status quo in Cornwall." After a pause, Gerant smiled bitterly: "Since Cornwall has changed from a kingdom to a territory, This has always been the case."

Gerant explained the situation in Cornwall.

Shirou was full of bitterness.

This situation is very bad.

Because of the high-pressure policies of Baldwin and Ulfes, and because Cornwall is rich in minerals, it caused a disaster in Cornwall, and there were not enough soldiers to handle it.

The most important thing is that high-pressure policies have caused people to only think about stealing mines and selling them cheaply, instead of thinking about self-sufficiency. As a result, the surrounding farmland is abandoned, food production is not high, food is not enough, and even people starve to death It is a common thing.

Even the lord who levies the grain tax has almost no grain.

Shi Lang brought more than 30,000 people over.

These 30,000 people are more than 30,000 mouths and stomachs.Although people have their own food, they will run out of food soon.

The land inside was deserted, banditry became a disaster, and the people hated it... Outside there were Votigung and dead men coming at any time.

Shi Lang's heart was extremely miserable, but his face was filled with a bright smile, and he said, "That's how it is, I know. That's why I came here, so that everyone can live a good life!"

Gerant carefully looked at Shi Lang's face and looked at the brilliant smile, shocked in his heart.

You know, when he took over Cornwall, he got this situation, but his face was sad.

Chengri's sorrow is bleak.

But this king still smiled brightly.

Thinking back to the rumors about "Arthur" that had been heard, Gerant said silently in his heart: "Maybe...this king can really make us live a good life!"

Shiro asked the people of Kahnri to gather in the northern city, not to deal with the Cornish people who hated Camelot for the time being.

He asked Agerman and Bedwell to lead Lucan and others to deal with local officials in Cornwall, and he allowed Gerant to accompany him to important places in Cornwall.

Tin mines, abandoned farmland, dark and damp streets...

Shabby.

It's really shabby!

It's like coming to a slum in the Middle Ages.

Walk down all the way.

Gerant himself felt heavy.

He secretly looked at Shilang's profile, only to find that Shilang still had an easy smile on his face.

"Perhaps...perhaps this person, this king, already has plans for development!"

Gerant thought so in his heart, and the gloomy mood unconsciously improved a lot.

However, what Gerant didn't know was that Shirou's heart was extremely bitter.

Internal and external troubles.

It was devastated.
