Extraordinary Earl

Chapter 356 Long Live Pompeii
In Windsor City, the villa of Fancia's family, a large farmer.

The children at home went to school, but instead of going to Baiying's free school, they went to a scholar's home to study.

Although there are free schools, the wealthy aristocrats obviously prefer traditional aristocratic education.

Mrs. Fancia was doing housework, but her mind wandered from time to time, her face showing worry. The current environment of the whole White Eagle collar is not very good.

Fan Xiya went out today, planning to sell grain, fields, and serfs. I don't know what happened.

With the sound of footsteps, the door was opened.Mrs. Fancia greeted her with joy on her face, "Are you back?"

She reached out to take off Fan Xia's coat, but Fan Xia waved her hand and took it off by herself, and put it on the hanger in front of the door.

Fancia is very fat and afraid of heat, and he is sweating profusely at this moment.

Seeing her husband like this, Mrs. Fancia suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart.

"Damn it, those grain merchants have stopped buying grain. This year our land not only has no output, but also lost the money to feed the serfs. I plan to sell the land, but the price of the land is [-]% of last year, and it is still The serfs are constantly declining. There is no one to take over the serfs. Because there is no profit in taking over the serfs, but to support the serfs.”

"The farming business is over."

Fan Xia was sweating profusely. After taking off his coat, he also unbuttoned his shirt.

"Then what should we do?" Mrs. Fancia turned pale.

"What else can I do? Sell the valuable land first, and the serfs will find a way to deal with it. As for the grain, there is no other way but to store it, and we will see the situation next year."

Fan Xiya shook her head with a wry smile.

Damn it.

Pompey's house, Pompeii's house.

What are you doing to feed the peasants and serfs?They are full, where are we going to squeeze money.

hateful.

It wasn't just the Fancia family who scolded Pompeii secretly.

In the entire White Eagle Territory, there are many such farmers, and they have many, many serfs under them, at least 30 adults.

This group of people is an invisible population, not under the jurisdiction of the city hall, and does not create taxes.

They live like livestock, only working as cattle and horses for the big farmers.

But now the serfs have become a hot potato just like the land and food.

Under such circumstances, the city hall, under the approval of Governor Luther and Pompey, and the execution of the consul and mayor of Pompeii, Lelouch, formulated a decree to abolish serfs.

Seven cities, the towns and villages under them.

Go down level by level and issue laws.

Serfdom was illegal.

Not only that, the city hall also dispatched many propagandists to spread the word through the streets.

Inside Pompeii.

Whether it is a place with a lot of people or a place with little people, whether it is a civilian area or a noble villa area, there are a large number of people doing propaganda work.

"After being signed by the Governor and executed by the Consul, the White Eagle Territory officially abolished the serf system. If anyone is found to use serfs to produce or farm, they will be sentenced to prison."

"In addition, in view of the current situation in the White Eagle Territory, the city hall is willing to accept all serfs and transform them into qualified workers. If there are factories willing to hire these workers, please contact the city hall."

Large numbers of propagandists carry out such propaganda work.

This incident had a further impact on Luther.

Prior to this, Luther announced the ability to provide free schooling for all commoners, which was regarded as a different kind by the nobles. It was a kind of neutralization idea between the traditional nobles and the new party.

And now with Luther, Pompey announced the abolition of the serf system in the White Eagle Territory, which further revealed Luther's tendency.

But no one cares about this matter anymore.

On the one hand, there are only a small number of nobles who have serfs, and now the price of serfs is so low that no one is willing to take over. The city hall is willing to take over, and the big farmers can't wait.

On the other hand, Pompeii's military strength is outstanding.

And the prestige of the white eagle coat of arms is very high.

With the implementation of this law, a large number of large farmers sent serfs to the city hall, which received them uniformly and reformed them.

A large number of serfs will become workers and create taxes for the White Eagles.

The farmers sold a lot of land, no matter how low the price was, they all sold it.Because they found that farming has no future.

Under such circumstances, the Pompeii family's livestock company and the original grain merchants each contributed funds to purchase a large number of fields and planned to transform them into pastures.

In response to the rapidly expanding meat market.

And the town hall announced another final event.

The Pompeii family will unite many merchants to purchase grain from farmers at [-]% of last year's grain price.

Under such circumstances, the grain output of farmers this year has increased by [-]% compared with last year, while the price has lost [-]%. The loss is not too big.

This immediately gained popularity for the Pompey family.

Long live Pompeii! ! !

Giethoorn.

In the small conference room of the village chief Heishan's home, the village chief Heishan sat with five village officials, and everyone's expressions were both surprised and happy.

"I didn't expect the Pompeii family to actually make a move. They took the lead in buying wheat at [-]% of last year's price. In this way, our loss is not too big."

A village official said with a smile on his face.

"There is too much grain produced this year. The Pompeii family bought the grain, and they couldn't digest it for a while. This is because they lost money and protected the farmers. Hey. The Pompeii family is really benevolent. Your Excellency, you are indeed benevolent. By."

The village head of Heishan sighed and said.

Immediately, the village officials present were in awe.

Luther, Pompeii, this lord nicknamed "The Merciful", is indeed extremely merciful.

"Thanks to the coat of arms of the white eagle, our loss this time is not too big. But it is also a lesson. We have to arrange strong labor in the village to work in the city, and we can't focus all our eyes on the land. Besides, we have Pakistan Si Niu, the fields will not go to waste."

Heishan Village Chief said.

"I will make some statistics. The price of food is so low this year. I believe that many people are willing to work in the city. Even mining is much better than farming."

A village official nodded and said.

"Long live Pompeii."

Ani, the Asia family also raised their arms after hearing the news, and the husband and wife roared foolishly.

Although it is said that farmers' families will not go bankrupt because of the low price of grain, but seeing so much grain and not being able to exchange it for money, I feel very uncomfortable.

Only after changing the money can I buy some clothes for the children and make up for the household.

In this case, the Pompeii family took the lead in buying grain, long live, long live, long live.

The coat of arms of the white eagle, the prestige of the Pompeii family in the white eagle collar has almost reached its peak.
