Rise In Calradia

A vigorous land distribution movement is being carried out in various places in Amila. The tenant farmers never thought that they could wait until the day to obtain their own land, and never thought that the new lord would really distribute the land to them. Some tenant farmers are in their 60s and 70s. They have been tenant farmers all their lives and have worked for the masters all their lives. They have long abandoned those unrealistic fantasies, but suddenly, their childhood dreams became true. The old tears raged, and they kept muttering, "It would be nice if Byron came early." When someone reminded these old people that Lord Byron was very young, they changed the words to "If Byron was born earlier."

"Yes, it would be nice if Byron had become their lord sooner." The people who had acquired the land began to talk about these words, and the tenant farmers flocked to the clerical officers who were sent to surround them as soldiers. Next to the table, tell him the situation of his home, the specific number of people and the location of the house, and whether there are any disabled persons who cannot work. The village elders and other tenant farmers next to him will also verify it (mainly rely on the tenant farmers to verify each other, they can Don’t want to see other people occupy their own land), the soldiers will also check the situation one by one to ensure that there is no problem with the distribution of land.

The farmers passed the news to each other, and the travellers and merchants also spread this "weird" everywhere. Their news was faster than the messenger sent by Byron, and it spread throughout the Amila region in just a few days. , And even spread all the way to the Garmizi area, but few locals think this is true, although the local tenant farmers are also full of eagerness for it.

But it was quickly proved to be true, because Byron used all his clerical officers and local officials, as well as all literate officers and attendants. They rushed to various villages with a lot of paperwork and title deed templates. Groups of tenant farmers surrounded them and granted them land one by one. This is not an easy job, because half of them are outsiders, they don't know the local land situation of Amila at all, and they haven't done similar jobs, which makes land distribution difficult. They have to visit house by house to find out the location and specific conditions of the local confiscated land, which fertile land is prone to disputes, which land is disputed, and the land has to be distributed to the tenants close to each other as much as possible. These are very daunting questions.

In addition, there are some unexpected situations that need to be dealt with. The confiscation of the land of the defeated is a very simple matter. It is easy to understand and there is nothing to question. The relatives of Count Tazias have a bad reputation, and no one sympathizes with them. . But when Byron began to allocate land to tenant farmers, poor people and even some refugees and beggars, some landlords could not sit still. These little landlords did not possess the same possessions as the Count of Tazias and the large estate owners whose property was confiscated. A large area of ​​land, but they still control nearly 30% of the land in the Amila area. They are very worried that Byron will attack them, forcibly confiscating their land, and then giving it to those poor ghosts that they don't look down on.

There are also church priests. Religious forces are generally not strong in Calradia, far inferior to the huge power and influence of the medieval church in another world, where noble lords and even warlords are the protagonists. But even so, the priests of the Heavenly Fathers still control a lot of land, especially in Rhodok in the south. The churches in the south often have hundreds of acres of land for consumption, and there is basically no need to pay taxes. The priests also approached the clerks sent by Byron and asked whether their land would be confiscated by the new lord. After all, before Byron, some Lords of Rodok were considering grabbing ground from the priests.

In this regard, the clerks all comforted them. They brought Byron's orders. The content written on the paper was very clear. Byron would protect the landlords and the church when he allocated the land to the tenant farmers. The original land will not be lost, and they can go home without worry. But one thing is that because those landlords have more land, they need to perform more wartime obligations. They have to provide horses and supplies during the war, but there are not many requirements for military service, and they don’t need to provide them to the lord as in the past. Many heavily armed infantry with their own equipment, but similarly, they are no longer allowed to hold so many armored weapons, nor are they qualified to organize private soldiers. As for the church, they still keep the land, but they have to pay taxes.

Byron is very good at controlling the degree of suppression of these local snakes. He is weakening the power of these little landlords, but not too cruel. They may complain, but in the face of the fierce soldiers sent by Byron, they are ultimately still Will choose to shut up and live home honestly.

Byron knows the hardships of his subordinates. When he allocated land to the hundreds of tenant farmers, although he was overwhelmed with addiction, he was too tired. Even if there was a group of people around him helping him to deal with these things, he was too busy. Dry tongue and tired spirit are also busy. So he promised a generous reward, and promised that if the officials who went to the countryside to distribute the land would get a reward of 30 dinars, those soldiers who followed would also get a week’s salary compensation, and there would be an extra before they set off. Travel costs from 5 to 15 dinars. Because of the convenience of trade, prices in eastern Rhodok have not risen as high as in other regions. The amount of this reward is still considerable, and the hard work is worth it.

While the land distribution is proceeding, Byron is still busy with other things. The previously captured Seren lord Count Cunhas and his sister have been under house arrest in the castle for this period of time. Not much arrogance, so when Byron went to see him as an earl, he was completely out of air~www.NovelMTL.com~ and admitted his earl status very simply. Count Cunhas had already recognized the reality at this time. Not only was he captured, but his territory was also occupied, and his property fell into the hands of Byron. His family was small and his relatives were not many. People can afford to pay his ransom, and Earl Leyland seems to have given up his ally, and has not provided support so far (in fact, Earl Tyreland proposed to redeem Earl Cunhas, but Byron had other ideas).

"Maybe we can reach a cooperation? My lord, I heard that you are unmarried so far, and I have a younger sister who is always looking for a husband... If my two marry, I would be happy to join the Kingdom of Swadia, our alliance It will definitely make our rule on this land impossible to be shaken." Earl Cunhas obviously didn't know the changes in the outside world, so he made an inappropriate proposal.

"I'm really sorry, sir, but I have been officially engaged to Ms. Nelda of the Count Craggs of Suno a few days ago. Unfortunately, I must reject your offer, but you are right. If we can get married Into an alliance, even the Earl of Leyland will never be able to defeat us." Byron said politely: "But only if you give up your allegiance to King Griffith and offer your loyalty to King Harrods, I I will try my best to help you keep your current position and fiefdom, but I hope you remember that it is far away, and King Haraus rarely notices it. But I am here, not only very close to you, but also will always be At this."

Needless to say, Count Cunhas is not stupid, he knows what to do.
