Rise In Calradia

"My lord, are you true?"

Hundreds of local farmers gathered outside the castle were shocked by what Byron had just said. The occasions that should have been kept quiet suddenly became noisy. Even if it was not the possibility of whispering to each other about this matter, they were talking to themselves. what.

"You heard that right, farmers, I will repeat it again." Standing on the front wall of the castle, Byron shouted to the tenant farmers underneath:

"My Von Byron, the new lord of Amira Fort, the Earl of Swadia, will give you tenant farmers who do not use their own land to cultivate land. Each of you can get a piece of land, your original landlord’s The land will be owned by you. My clerk will allocate the land for you according to the population of your family. For those over 15 years old, 5 ka mu per person for males, 3 ka mu per woman for women, and 1 ka mu for children under the age of People who are disabled and unable to cultivate can also get one acre of land, which can be cultivated by their family members or a person designated by him, and you have become self-cultivating farmers from then on."

Byron's words caused an uproar among the crowd, but before their shock subsided, Byron added a remark that surprised everyone present:

"Not only you, there are thousands of landless tenant farmers in the Amila area. They will all be liberated today. The land of Count Tazias and his family will belong to you! Congratulations, today is Ah The festival of farmers in Mira is a festival I prepared for you!" Byron added.

The farmers could no longer restrain their joy, and many people could not help cheering, but the few farmers still managed to control the scene as much as possible. Their faces were also excited, but their doubts were obviously more serious. Heavier. Obviously, there is no such thing as a pie falling from the sky in this world, not to mention the great thing that every household loses pie. When encountering this kind of thing, these farmers who are a little malnourished but still normal in their brains naturally do not understand the truth, and they dare not accept the blessings easily.

"Honorable lord.. I mean sir." The temporarily elected representatives among them took two steps forward, crowding out the crowd, bowed their heads and dared not look directly at Byron at the head of the city, with a local accent, no Listen carefully without knowing what they are talking about.

"You are so honorable. Why do you want to give us these humble and poor people such a good reward? We are very happy to have our own land, but can you tell us why you did it? The land that used to be the masters can now be It's yours." It represents laborious organizational language, using all the vocabulary I learned when eavesdropping the master and the overseer. It looks ridiculous, but it is even more pitiful.

"Hahahaha...I understand your doubts, this is not a reward for no reason, farmers." Byron said here, couldn't help but laugh, and then walked down from the city with the guards to these places. Where the farmer was no more than ten feet away, the attendant quickly moved a chair and asked Byron to stand up, so that even the last person could see their lord when he looked up.

"Owning land means assuming obligations. I will allocate land to you and even give you a title deed to prove that you have the soil and water under your feet. But this is not free. You can own the output of these land without asking the manor owner. To pay most of the harvest, you only need to pay taxes to other self-employed farmers. But you also need to bear the obligations that it brings. These land cannot be bought and sold. If you don’t want to continue farming or leave it uncultivated for a long time, then I will take back the land. I don’t have to pay you to others. When I need to promote some crops or build facilities on these land, you can’t refuse, but you can get compensation. Finally, the most important obligation is yours. The family must perform military service after acquiring the land! During the slack period, all males over 16 years old and under 60 years old must be trained in batches. When I recruit soldiers, if there are three males in the family, at least one will be hired. I serve. If there are four males in the family, two of them must serve, and so on. If the family is not satisfied with three males, one person needs to serve me, feeding horses, driving cars, and other tasks that he can do. If there is only one male in the family or there is no male, then help me take care of my manor and livestock, sew clothes and prepare food for the soldiers. This is your most basic obligation, and it is also what you must abide by if you want to get the land. Conditions. But you must think clearly. From then on, you will all be loyal to me. Even the king cannot change this agreement. Whether it is you or your descendants, as long as you are loyal to me, I will protect your right to survive."

Byron said for a long time in one breath. In fact, he has written all these notices. However, considering the local illiteracy rate of more than 90%, he still speaks more easily, and he has carefully considered the words to ensure that people with normal intelligence Can understand.

"So." Byron paused deliberately, looked around and found that all the tenant farmers were filled with joyful expressions, he asked with satisfaction and confidence: "You are willing to accept the land I gave you. And accept the obligations fulfilled by this generation?"

"Of course, sir... I mean adults, even if you don't ask them, we are very happy!" The farmer representative almost shed tears with excitement, and the farmers behind him were also elated, all chanting Byron's name. , May God grant him health and longevity.

"You gave us land, and even my parents didn’t leave it to me. From then on, except for Heavenly Father, I have believed in you. There are three sons in my family, two of them are too young, but my eldest son has Strength, even if you bring him on, no matter what rough work, he will be willing to do it!"

"My lord, take my daughter, too. My wife is unbelievable. She gave birth to four girls in a row. Now she marries two. Let them work for you if there are two more. They can work hard."

"I am a male in my family, but as long as you give me land, my life is yours!"

"My lord, you are as great as a saint!"

"Yes, saint! Saint! You will be full of children and grandchildren and live to be a hundred years old!"

......

The voices from the poor are so powerful, even the noble knights like Elaine~www.NovelMTL.com~ their voices are so small among the crowd, they will soon be overwhelmed. The tenant farmers could not hide their gratitude to Byron. Byron believed that the promise they had just made would definitely come true as long as the land was obtained.

"Their thoughts are really good guesses." Byron couldn't help but said with emotion: "The fate of the world is not fair. Some people are nobles, and some are beasts and horses. And these people who become beasts and horses just live on. Just to work hard, in order to live better, even the soul can be sold. How easy it is to buy them, and it is not difficult to obtain their respect, but those high-ranking guys have not planned this. But they probably don’t know them themselves. How powerful is the united force, let alone igniting this force only requires human guidance."

"Very well, line up now, the cultivators of the land, we personally distribute the land deeds for you, and grant you these lands."

As a result, the former tenant farmers gathered around their lord like this. They had never been so close to their lord, and never thought that they could accept his inquiries next to the lord and chat with him like a friend. When Byron handed the title deed into their hands and shook hands with them, even if Byron was wearing gloves, they felt a flow of heat from their palms to their hearts.
