In a farmstead on Northern Ridge, a man shouldering a hoe gossiped with a neighbor outside the fence about the new information he had gathered, "Do you know what a rich person is like?"
In the past half year or so, the people of Northern Ridge have been living very happily and peacefully.
Recently, after defeating the Suthers Kingdom and acquiring a large region along the Ice Crystal River, Northern Ridge's economy was revitalized.
With substantial funds and embracing the advanced technology from Brunas, Northern Ridge's economy was completely revived.
Thanks to the swift victory in the war, Northern Ridge's agriculture wasn't much affected but rather benefited from the climate to achieve a bumper harvest.
Furthermore, with the rent and interest reduction policy carried out by the old Earl and the new Earl, Northern Ridge's farmers could simply be described as happy over the last six months.
Having money brings a good mood, and with a good mood naturally comes gossip.
