Rise of the Lord of Mount and Blade

“Did something happen to Sir Sir Alex summoning us?”

“What else could be, isn’t it the gambling appointment a few days ago? “

“Oh my god, who would have thought that he could wipe out those damned bandits so quickly, I felt like I was dreaming the past few days.”

“Who said it’s not.”

…

Except for those who went out to work very early and did not arrive, almost the whole village was there, and the others all After he arrived, Richard stood on the wooden platform in the square where the criminals were shown to the public, and looked condescendingly at the villagers gathered together in darkness. As his gaze swept over, the voices of the people gradually became lower and less.

“The villagers of Luofei Village, do you remember the night five days ago, when I was also standing in this place, and I had the first but impressive meeting with you.”

Richard’s voice sounded slowly. His voice was not loud, but it was very steady, ensuring that most people could hear him.

“At that time, I bet you that the banditry around Fort Loffey could be calmed down within a month. Facts have proved that I did it, and it took only five days. “Speaking of this, Richard smiled, “I have fulfilled my promise, so now, I also hope that you can fulfill your promise, trust me as much as possible, and believe that I can lead you out of the current poverty.”

After he finished speaking, the crowd underneath began to whisper. The villagers had no objection, because they were just a group of ruled assholes that’s all. Even if Richard did not complete the so-called gambling agreement, they still They had to obediently obey Richard’s rule, but fortunately, Richard fulfilled his agreement very ethically, and they were more convinced.

Seeing that the villagers didn’t have any comments, Richard’s face showed an unexpected look, and he went on to say: “Now, I want to announce a few policies.”

” First, because the banditry in the vicinity has been eliminated, I will reclaim the land around Fort Loffey. The surrounding land belongs to my own name in accordance with the laws of the kingdom. Therefore, I will measure and divide the arable land. Every piece of land allocated will be cultivated by every household in the village. No matter what you are cultivating on the land, the harvested grain will belong to you except for the prescribed share. Therefore, in order not to Suffering from hunger, it is up to you to be industrious or lazy.”

After hearing Richard’s first article, the crowd became lively again. What does the Viscount mean? Are you going to treat them all as serfs tied up in the fields? However, they changed their minds. The serfs did not have the right to take the harvested grain for themselves, and they had to hand in all of them.

Raised his hand to signal the villagers to be quiet. After they were quiet, Richard added: “If there are special circumstances, the family can explain to the head of the village Flower, less land or no land, but You have to rely on your own methods for the source of food. In addition, if you encounter any problems when reclaiming and farming, such as lack of agricultural tools, seeds or other problems, you can explain to the village chief of Flower, and we will do our best. It may help you to overcome the difficulties.”

“Also, the land you cultivate belongs to me, Viscount Bulatai. If I find someone buying and selling land without authorization, then I will definitely not let it go. He.”

Richard’s first policy is actually to imitate the household contract responsibility system of the Chinese dynasty. As long as the harvested grain can belong to him, farmers’ enthusiasm for production will increase as a result. Richard uses In this regard, he allocates his uncultivated land around Fort Loffey to the families in the Inner sect village who have no land, so that they can also turn into farmers. As long as there are more farmers and their enthusiasm increases, then the problem of food It’s not a big problem.

In fact, if Richard had serfs, it wouldn’t have to be so laborious. Just use the method of hitting a big stick and giving a sweet date to let the serfs make an all-out effort. It’s a pity because Bratailing was so poor that serfs no longer existed.

“Second, I will ask someone to dig a big pit outside the village. Each of you must pack your dung together every day, and pour it in that big pit, so you can’t find it casually. The place falls down, otherwise you will be punished severely if you are caught once.” Richard continued. He had asked the mayor of Flower before. The villagers’ houses had their own pit, and the dung pulled out would be packed in In the wooden barrel under the pit, you can find a place to dump it when it is full.

“Lord, why is this?”

A villager asked puzzledly.

“Before I came here, I used to be a nobleman in Holtberg. The local farmers used their manure as fertilizer to irrigate crops, and the yield of crops irrigated by manure would be better than none. The irrigated crops are even higher, so it makes sense for me to ask you to do this.” Richard’s face was not red and heartbeat, and he casually made up an excuse. Simon, who was standing next to him, became a little weird when he heard him. He is also a resident of Holtberg. Why hasn’t he seen this kind of farming method?

Moreover, those nobles were unwilling to eat food contaminated by feces.

As soon as I heard that it was the practice of the farmers in the Viscount’s hometown, the villagers had no other opinions, and continued to listen to Richard quietly.

“As for the third item.” Richard chuckled lightly and said: “This third item is not in a hurry for the time being. It won’t be too late to talk about it after you plan the land. Let’s do it for now. “

After finishing speaking, Richard turned and walked off the wooden platform. Seeing that Richard was gone, the villagers who gathered together were also scattered in small groups. They walked and talked to each other, discussing Richard’s just now. Said the first policy. A few villagers who have land at home feel that there is no difference, while those who do not have land at home are be eager to have a try, wanting to allocate a piece of land belonging to their family as soon as possible, and rush to plant the seeds before the end of summer farming. .

Richard, who walked off the wooden platform, was quickly stopped by the oncoming village mayor. The old village mayor looked a little anxious. He frowns and whispered: “My lord, do it. With such a big decision, why don’t you discuss it with me in advance?”

“What’s the matter, is it possible that you can’t accomplish this task?” Richard glanced at him and asked.

“Not to mention how troublesome it is to measure and divide the land, the key is that many of the villagers have farm tools in their homes that are rusty and damaged and cannot be used anymore, and we don’t have enough seeds to cultivate. I’m afraid Even if the land is allocated, the villagers can’t cultivate it.”

“Don’t worry about this.” Richard waved his hand, “I passed through Sarcas City before I came, and agreed with the local grain merchants. Well, he will come in 1 month later. Then the seeds will not be a big problem. Farm tools can also be made by the blacksmith Adam. If it doesn’t work, go to Laertai to buy. The only thing you need to worry about is to allocate the land.”

After hearing what Richard said, frowns, the mayor of Flower, stretched out and said, “So you have already prepared in advance, but I also hope that you will talk to us before making any decisions. Discuss it.”

“I will, Flower, I will.”
