Sword of Daybreaker

Gawain stood on the stone and looked at the numb and cringing face below, took a deep breath.

People are not ignorant, but that doesn’t mean they are not ignorant.

Ignorance is an assertion made by prejudice and contempt, but ignorance – it is only telling the truth.

The civilian and serf classes of this era are ignorant. The social structure determines that they have little access to knowledge growth. The heavy cost of living also makes them have no energy to pay attention to things other than survival. In this case, long-term in this case. Survival, they will not appear to think, will have the illusion of “ignorance.” But in fact, they will think, but ignorance makes it difficult for them to understand things that are too far away from life.

So you can’t talk to them about things that are fake and empty, can’t talk to them about ideals, talk about the future, talk about the logical relationship between the prospects of Feidal Territory and the development of productivity. Once they say this, they will immediately listen to them as “aloof and remote” The concept is to go to the “Feudal Lord” and draw a line with yourself, so the best way is to tell them something related to their lives.

“The people of Cecil territory,” Gawain said loudly. “You should all know who I am – so you should also know that I am the most talkative person on this Feudal Territory. What I can say can be On behalf of Cecil’s law, these laws will protect you and what you must obey.

“We are exploring the new Feidal Territory and we need some new rules, so I am here to announce three things:

“First, since the old Federal Territory has been destroyed and all past wealth has been cleared, I declare in the name of the Cecil Family ancestor that all debts involving the Feidal Lord are written off – whether it is a free man or a serf. From today, no longer bear any debt to the Feidal Lord.

The following crowds are a bit commotion, but the commotion is not obvious, because although the civilians and serfs of this era are more or less owed to the debt of the Feidal Lord, but in the future of the construction of the Feudal Territory, everyone has no ability to pay their debts. According to the former kindness of Rebecca Feudal Lord, they already guessed that they would be exempt from debt.

Gawain went on to say: “Second, all serfs on the Feudal Territory have the opportunity to become free people. The Feidal Lord will issue a series of tasks, such as building houses, building roads, digging mines, and participating in the army. All these tasks will correspond. The scoring method can accumulate contributions as long as the corresponding work is completed in strict accordance with the requirements. After reaching the standard, the serfs can become free people. However, they are already free people, and after completing these tasks, they can get the corresponding remuneration. The specific way of calculating the compensation will be announced in the near future. I can assure you that any hardworking and reliable serf can become a freelancer if he works hard for two or three years, and a freelancer can work 5 – 6 years. You can get your own house!”

This time, the following turmoil has completely become an irrepressible discussion.

Serfs became free people – this is a fairly challenging routine in this era. Although Ainz’s kingdom law does not strictly prohibit the serfs from becoming free people’s regulations, and there is no clear provision in the Feudal Territory law of the local aristocracy, in fact, almost no nobles will let their serfs freely – For them, serfs mean cheap, meaning that they can squeeze out the last drop of blood on their body without any burden. Those who only know how to raise taxes and labor time to search for wealth are simply not to let the serfs get freedom. What are the benefits.

Rebecca also caused some commotion when he first proposed that the serfs gain freedom by joining the army, but this time Gawain obviously made a big step.

As for getting paid for work, even getting a house… Many civilians who are themselves free are almost unbelievable.

Do you still have money to work for the Feidal Lord? Who believes!

Gawain didn’t give them time to continue the discussion, but then went on to say the third:

“Third, the tents and fences to be built today, as well as the gutters in the camps, are the first tasks that the Feidal Lord gave to you in the new law. I have already recorded the responsibility of each of you. Scope, only those who have completed the work in strict accordance with my requirements to complete the work. In addition, as an incentive to work hard, the top ten people who complete the work can eat meat.”

After saying this, Gawain did not care about the reaction below, and jumped directly back to the place where Hetty and Rebecca were.

The civilians and serfs who gathered together, after a moment of screaming, suddenly shouted and rushed to the camp that appeared to have been completed – they were going to reinforce the loose ropes and nails and the fence into the ground. Go inside!

For them, Gawain’s calculations of contributions, scoring standards and the like are still too difficult, and they do not believe that the soldiers responsible for the supervision and the Knight Lord will really seriously help them calculate the workload. But there is a saying that they can understand: there is meat in the evening!

Only those who have done their work in advance, but who have to work hard to get a living can have meat!

As Gawain thinks – only when it comes to personal interests, people will be motivated to give the most motivation.

Looking at the civilians and serfs who were running away, Hetty felt a little bit mad, until Gawain stood in front of her and she reacted with an unbelievable question: “The ancestors… are you really saying?”

Gawain like a smile yet not a smile Looking at each other: “Which specific?”

“…the part of the serf who became a free man through work,” Hetty said with a frown. “Of course, I don’t object to this, because Rebecca had previously issued a decree for the promotion of serfs, but you said that you have to build a house to repair the road.” Everything can be considered a contribution, and it only takes two or three years to become a free person… is this true?”

“Of course it is true,” Gawain looked at each other. “What do you think is wrong?”

“If it’s so easy to become a free people, I’m afraid it won’t take long. All the serfs on the Feudal Territory are civilians,” Hetty said with a slap in the face. “The civilian child is also a civilian. Will the Cecil territory be a Where are there no serfs?”

Gawain continued to look at her, the smile on her face remained the same: “Is there a problem with no serfs?”

From the perspective of her own thinking habits and World view, Hetty instinctively felt that something was wrong, but from her far-reaching insights and thoughts of the aristocrats, she felt that even without the serfs, there seemed to be nothing wrong with it. Suddenly caught in contradiction.

Instead, Rebecca said after frowning and thinking: “Actually, I think… the serf system is not so necessary today. It’s really nothing bad.”

Gawain looked at the descendants of this iron-clad iron a little unexpectedly, nodded: “Go ahead.”

“The serfs are the labor force. The purpose of the labor force is to provide labor. But if they are allowed to become free people, they can get more labor. Then why should we retain the concept of ‘slavery’?” Rebecca scratched his hair, “father I told you that the main reason for not allowing serfs to be free is that once they are free and there is no whip, they will become lazy and no longer work, but I think the whip is not necessarily the best…”

Gawain looked at her with approval, and Rebecca, who was encouraged by Old Ancestor for the first time, suddenly became timid and said fluently: “And I also noticed that if a serf is to work, they will always find ways to be lazy, but if The two serfs went to the same job and told them to get a piece of bread when they finished, they could complete the 3 – 4 people’s workload at a time – much more than the piece of bread… so I was there I think that if you don’t be lazy, you don’t have to use a whip. It might be better to use other methods.”

“This is already a very good enlightenment.” Gawain couldn’t help but laugh, it was quite easy to understand, but in this era, almost no one would pay attention to this aspect – in fact, the nobles would not go at all. Observing how the serfs and even civilians under their own work work, and there is no concept of statistical work efficiency. Using whip to beat and sending soldiers to supervise is the ultimate embodiment of their ruling skills, such as Rebecca…

It can only be said that this poor and sour country, Miss Viscountess, is usually very leisurely.

Thanks to her leisure, she can think of it.

Only she can only think of these shallow things according to her own observations. In fact, Gawain knows that the emergence and abolition of the slave system is not only a question of “whip and bread”, but also the deeper reason is whether productivity is enough. Whether the society really has reached the point where it needs to change.

Through this period of observation, he believes that at least within the scope of his own vision, the serf system no longer matches the productivity of this world – a large population is piled up in a repetitive and inefficient low-end work, relying on the population All kinds of materials are produced with minimum efficiency to support the upper class, and these people will never have a rising channel. It is obvious that the upper-level people who mastered the magic have entered the stage of watching the fireworks and listening to music in the castle, and the lighting uses the magic crystal. The civilians below are not much stronger than the original people, and the whole society is almost deformed.

At Earth, the change of sky and the earth turning upside down has already occurred, but here, the existence of supernatural forces has prevented this process.

Because a hundred civilians with grass forks can’t beat a low rank mage or Knight, even if they don’t fear death, the number is doubled.

Perhaps this world will continue to develop one day, one day will break this deadlock, but Gawain is not going to wait, he must change this in advance, and then start his own big development plan.

Because he has a feeling – magic tide, I am afraid it is really coming.

The Gondor Empire in its heyday was also unable to hold on to the magic tide. Nowadays, all aspects have regressed to the contingent countries in the medieval state of obscurity.

And even without considering the problem of magic tide, Gawain has something else to care about.

Those “eyes” in the sky that don’t know the details.

A medieval backward world is hard to break away from gravity. It is covered by gravity, so there is no qualification for looking up at the sky, let alone studying the secrets of the stars.
