Chapter 25 - Carrots and Radishes
The unexpected harvest still sent a thrill through everyone’s hearts.
The crops weren’t just plentiful. They were enormous!
As per tradition, 10% would go to taxes and 30% to the lord. The remaining 60% belonged to the subjects.
Normally, that share would be enough to last a month. But with fewer villagers now, it would stretch much longer. And with the abundance of this yield, they were certain it could sustain them for over three months.
Even better, their surplus crops could be exchanged for coins. It’s useful for when Kael next visited. Some were already planning what they’d buy. Others were preparing to barter with fellow villagers.
But the true miracle? These crops had grown in under a week, all thanks to their Lord’s blessing. If they could harvest like this every week...
They exchanged hopeful glances. Shy smiles appeared on their faces. None of them dared say it out loud but the thought was there... Things really were changing for the better.
They couldn’t help but feel thankful once again that they had remained loyal.
What truly had them buzzing with excitement now was the idea of shopping from Kael’s next batch of goods. They were already hatching plans to surprise him when he arrived.
With the excitement slowly settling, everyone returned to work.
The newly harvested crops were carefully transported to the Anti-Decay Warehouse. Fortunately, it was spacious... One of the few good things left behind by the former baron.
