I Will Eventually Become a Partner of Justice Chapter 282

The most important thing is that Shirou 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 Ulface suppressed it one after another. Therefore, although the territory is large, it is poor.

Shirou was afraid that the Lord of Cornwall would have dissent, so he entrusted Agguiwen in advance to let the people enter the city by all means.

Although he has never dealt with Agguiwen, whether it is the legend or his knowledge of Xingyue, Shirou trusts this man who has not sworn allegiance to him.

And the result was just as Shirou thought, Agguwen completed his task perfectly, allowing Cornwall to open the city gate to welcome them in.

However, what surprised him was that the lord of Cornwall during this period was actually one of his future Knights of the Round Table, Geraint.

Geraint welcomes Shirou very much, but the people of Cornwall are 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 the territory of Camelot. Most importantly, during the reign of Baldwin and Ulfess, they continued to suppress Cornwall, resulting in extremely poor living standards in Cornwall.

At least, when Shirou looked at it at this moment, almost every Cornwallian was pale and emaciated, and there was hatred in their eyes.

He sighed deeply.

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

Geraint took Shirou to a beautiful castle.

This is the palace and castle of the King of Cornwall during the Kingdom of Cornwall, which can be said to be the last card of Cornwall.

But in fact, the interior is very simple, and it doesn't look like a palace at all.

Although the sparrow is small, it has all internal organs.

The administrative office as the lord is not bad.

Geraint took Shirou to meet the officials under him, as well as some important nobles in Cornwall.

Those officials greeted Shirou with smiles on their faces, but their eyes were full of vigilance.

Obviously, although Vortigern invaded, these officials and nobles were only afraid that Shirou would touch their cake.

Shirou wanted to settle down for the time being, but he didn't intend to do anything for the time being, he just said haha.

At this time, Bedivere came running and said to Shirou: "My king, the food brought by each family from Karn is not much, and it will last for five days at most. After five days, there will be nothing to eat."

Shirou nodded, then looked at Geraint, and asked, "Sir Geraint, how much food is there in the lord's warehouse? Can you borrow it from me for now?"

Geraint said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Your Majesty. As a lord loyal to Camelot, I'm willing to give everything I have for Camelot. But I'm sorry, the food is originally from Cornwall. problem."

Geraint took Shirou to the castle's grain warehouse.

There is only a light layer of oats and rye in it.

"That's all the cornwall lord has," said Geraint.

Bedivere couldn't help complaining, and said, "Is that just a little? This...isn't it enough for a thousand people a day?"

"Bedwell!"

Shirou scolded Bedivere, then looked at Geraint, and said, "Please don't take it to heart, Sir Geraint. Bedivere is a noble knight who loves Camelot just like you."

"Your Majesty, I didn't take it seriously. It's just——, this is indeed the status quo in Cornwall." After a pause, Geraint said with a wry smile: "Since Cornwall became a territory from a kingdom, it has been It's always been like that."

Geraint explained the situation in Cornwall.

Shirou felt bitter in his heart.

This situation is very bad.

Because of the high-handed policies of Baldwin and Ulface, and because Cornwall is rich in minerals, Cornwall is full of bandits, and at the same time there are not enough soldiers to handle them.

The most important thing is that the high-pressure policy caused people to only think about stealing mines and selling them at a low price, but did not think about self-sufficiency. As a result, the surrounding farmland was abandoned, the food production was not high, and there was not enough food. is a common thing.

Even the lords who taxed grain had little grain.

Shirou brought more than 30,000 people over.

These more than 30,000 people are more than 30,000 mouths and stomachs. Although people have brought their own food, they will run out of food in a short time.

The internal land is deserted, banditry is rampant, and the people are hostile... Externally, Vortigern and dead disciples come at any time.

Shirou felt extremely bitter in his heart, but with a bright smile on his face, he said, "So that's the case, I know. That's why I came here, to let everyone have a better life!"

Geraint carefully looked at Shirou's face, seeing that bright smile, he couldn't help being shocked.

You know, when he took over Cornwall, he was full of sorrow when he got this situation.

It is gloomy all day long.

But the king still had a bright smile on his face.

Recalling the rumors about "Arthur" that he had heard, Geraint said silently in his heart: "Perhaps... this king can really make us live a better life!"

Shirou told the people of Carnley to gather in the northern part of the city and not to deal with the Cornish people who hated Camelot for the time being.

He asked Agravin and Bedwell to lead Lucan and others to deal with local officials in Cornwall, and he let Geraint accompany him to visit important places in Cornwall.

Tin mines that have been thieves from time to time, abandoned farmland, dark and damp streets...

dilapidated.

It's really too run-down!

It's like being in a medieval slum.

all the way down.

Geraint himself felt heavy.

He secretly looked at Shirou's profile, but found that Shirou was still smiling with ease.

"Maybe... maybe this person, this king, already has a big plan for development!"

Thinking so, Geraint's gloomy mood subconsciously improved a lot.

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

Internal and external troubles.

There were sores everywhere.
