I, a fallen nobleman, started the farming system

Chapter 86 Unique Economic Models

The enthusiasm of the serfs to work was unprecedentedly high, they didn't need other people's supervision, and they even had a posture of desperately working.

Karis looked at them, dumbfounded. In his mind, serfs were a group of people who needed to be whipped with a whip to be able to work, and even so, they should be lazy and would not take the initiative to work at all.

He once followed a steward of an earl's castle to a field where food crops were grown. There were hundreds of serfs there. They were skinny, dry, and working very slowly. But just a little faster.

On one side of the field area, several gallows were erected, on which dead serfs were hung.

As the wind blew, the serfs kept floating around as if they had no weight. Only the ropes bound them, so they were not blown away.

According to the housekeeper, these serfs were disobedient and were still encouraging other serfs not to work. They were hanged here as a warning.

At that time, he wondered why the serfs had to be hanged. The steward said that the serfs were a group of lowly beings, they were not even as good as livestock, so don't think about being kind to them.

Your generosity to them will only cause them to resist more fiercely. In the end, serfs are not serfs, and nobles are not nobles.

It was this experience that influenced Carliss and made him think of hanging himself if he disobeyed.

But now, what the adults are doing is magnanimous and benevolent, why there are two different results.

The former resisted fiercely and was disobedient, while the latter gave people the feeling that they would fight desperately with anyone who refused to work.

what is the reason behind the scene?

As if seeing Carliss' doubts, Lynn said: "For serfs, meat porridge is an extreme temptation, especially those who join the militia can drink meat porridge, but others cannot. This forms a comparison.

Comparing people to others, people are pissed off, these people who have not had meat porridge, they are envious and jealous, now that they are given a chance, naturally they must try their best to seize it. "

"It's maddening to compare people to people," Carlis murmured twice. The combination of these words really explained the problem very clearly.

"But my lord, are we really going to give up the house, serf?"

Lynn interrupted him, "These houses were built by them, why can't they live in them? Only after living in them can they realize how good it is to have a house of their own, and then they will work hard Go to work to earn work points, and save them up to exchange for the ownership of the house. As for this work point, it must not be set too low, otherwise, it is not a good thing to save up easily.

Of course, you can't set it too high, otherwise you will lose the motivation to work hard. As for how much to set, I will think about it carefully at that time. "

Karis was a little dazed and thought it made sense, but he didn't quite understand the rationale.

He could only put this aside temporarily, and wait for time to think about it.

"My lord, there is also a way to give them the status of free citizens after the work points are enough. Is this also a way of encouragement? Set the work points very high and make them work harder, but they will not succeed." Carliss said.

Lynn shook his head, "No, I will do what I say, and I won't set the work points so exaggeratedly. If they can really save all the work points, I will give them the status of free citizens."

"Ah?" Karis was shocked, "Isn't this not in line with nobles?"

"Are there any specific regulations in the aristocratic system that prevent serfs from being converted into free citizens?" Lynn asked rhetorically.

Karis thought for a moment, "No."

"That's it. Since there is no such regulation, why do you think it is not in compliance? Every lord has absolute management rights over all the people or things in his territory. I give them the opportunity to become freemen. Wrong." Lin En raised his eyebrows and asked.

"That's right, but no nobleman would do that." As a housekeeper, Karis felt that he still needed to say what he had to say.

"Serfs are the property of nobles, but freemen are not. Once serfs become freemen, it means that your property has been lost, because they can leave at will and don't need to be fixed in one place. Moreover, serfs and freemen Taxation is different, which means that the wealth of the lord will continue to decrease."

"Really?" Lynn asked, "Why are they so sure that they will leave here after becoming freedmen? You have to know that the work points for exchanging housing are lower than the status of freedmen, and they often use work points to exchange for residence first. Even if they accumulate work points that can be exchanged for the status of freedmen and become freedmen, their home is here, and even at that time they will marry wives and have children. If they go to other noble territories, they can ensure that they can continue to own Is it all?"

"After all, there are no such good lords in other noble territories. After enjoying the benefits here, they don't even have the idea of ​​leaving."

It is easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to frugal. This sentence can also be applied to this kind of thing.

"They work hard to make their lives better. Whether it is buying or selling, it is a kind of consumption. As the town's economy improves, my wealth will not decrease, but will continue to increase."

This is an economic model, which involves many things. Lynn just used it simply. Fortunately, this world territory is privately owned. Although free people can leave, it is not so easy.

They are not fools, so they can naturally see what is good. They can live a stable life in Ashes Town, so why leave.

What's more, when it comes to the day when the free citizen status will be exchanged, I don't know how many years will be in the future. Even Lynn can't be sure what Ashes Town will look like at that time.

Karis was a little dizzy, and Lynn smiled and said: "You just need to know that people's desires are endless. They only want to drink meat porridge now, and then it will be more than just meat porridge. You just need to make good use of it." them, that would allow them to work hard and not make trouble."

Caris was even more dizzy.

"Forget it, just do what I say. There are currently no people in the town who can read and write, and you are responsible for recording their work points. By the way, how is little Tom studying?"

Carliss shook his head vigorously, and then managed to wake up a little bit, "Little Tom has a strong memory ability. Since learning from me, he has learned the most basic reading and writing, and he also has an excellent drawing talent. I saw him draw a plan of the town in the dirt."

"Oh? Take a piece of parchment and ask him to draw a floor plan for me." Lynn said, another thought came to his mind.
