The strongest lord system

Chapter 81 New Life
"My lord, I borrowed bowls from the townspeople." Carl ran over with a few soldiers carrying a pile of wooden bowls.

"It was voluntary by the city residents, and you didn't grab it by force." Allen asked in a low voice, looking at so many bowls.

Carl put down the basin with the wooden bowl in his hand and said with a smile: "We just went out and said that you need bowls, my lord, and every household took out their own bowls."

Allen nodded and reminded: "After a while, you must wash it and send it back to others. They still have lunch at home. If they are damaged by something, they will be compensated."

Karl nodded and said, "My lord, don't worry, I will take care of it. I'm going to help distribute the food."

"OK, go ahead."

Allen saw that the people in front of the audience had started to eat one after another, and he said with a smile: "You must be curious about what that white thing is."

A somewhat sloppy old man bit the steamed bun in his mouth and said, "My lord, what is this? It's so delicious."

"This thing is called steamed buns, and it's a specialty of our Stormwind City." Alan continued: "Now listen to me while you eat."

This time, all the people in the audience looked at the city lord on the stage, and even those who were eating slowed down one after another, raised their heads and listened, while eating.

"I know that you were all slaves before you came here, and I was the one who bought you here."

Perhaps hearing the word slave, some of the people below sighed, some clenched their fists unwillingly, and some were already used to it.

"However, when you come here, what I want is not a labor tool that can only do obedient work. I can tell you first, when I finish talking and you finish eating, if you want to leave, I don't want to leave." will stop you."

"Will you really let us go?"

The slaves in the audience were in an uproar. They even felt that the lord on the stage was crazy. He bought them, and now he said he could let them go.

"However, outside, you will continue to live a life of fugitive and wandering around with your slave status behind your back. Maybe you will be caught by those traffickers again at any time."

Indeed, these people have no legal status, and most of them even have various slave marks engraved on their bodies.

"However, here, I will give you a different life. You will have your own residence. Although it is just a simple wooden house, I can guarantee that you can eat three meals a day without being insulted or whipped."

"Of course, these lives are not free. You can choose to work for me. Those who are good at farming, my territory is very wide, and I can let you farm. You can tell me what other skills you have. If you really don't know anything, It doesn't matter, there is a mine in the west of the city, you can work there. You can still get a certain salary every month, although there are only a few copper coins, but they belong to you."

Hearing Allen's words, the people below boiled instantly.

"Can we eat food like this every day?"

"I'm a carpenter, is my job useful?"

"I used to be a farmer and I could farm the land."

……

Allen raised his hand to signal for everyone to be quiet, looking at the eager eyes of the people in the audience, he smiled and said: "Yes, these are all true. Not only that, I have announced in the name of Allen Omis , as long as you work hard in Stormwind City for two years, I will revoke your status as slaves, and you will be able to become civilians of Stormwind City and my citizens. Your descendants will no longer have to bear the status of slaves, you A new life will begin."

The lord of a territory has the right to release the slave status of his slaves in his jurisdiction and recruit them as his own people.However, most people are unwilling to do this, because it means losing a free labor force.

If the previous words made these people feel that food and housing were guaranteed, then what Allen said now can relieve them of their status as slaves, which is to rekindle their hope for life.

"Really? As long as we work hard for two years, you are willing to release us as slaves and let us become your citizens!"

In an instant, several people stood up excitedly. An old man in his 40s tightly grasped the hand of a [-]- or [-]-year-old child next to him. His cloudy eyes were full of mist.

"This is my promise to you, and it is also a promise to those who will come in the future who bear the status of slaves like you." Alan pulled out the sword at his waist and pointed to the sky.

"Okay, that's all I want to say here. If you still want to leave after eating, please come to the gate by yourself. You can receive a few steamed buns as food for your journey. Those who decide to stay, eat After finishing the things, please wait for a while, someone will come to register your situation later, after that..."

Allen paused, and jokingly said: "After that, I will let you go to the river outside the city to take a good bath. I don't want you to bring some other guests with you just after you live in your wooden house, such as: fleas ,some type of."

As Allen said, he stepped off the stage and said to Butler Karen and Karl next to him, "I'll leave it to you to arrange things later, just do as I said."

"Well, master, if someone of them really wants to leave, what should we do?" Butler Karen asked.

"Didn't I just say that, give them a few steamed buns and let them go," Allen said with a smile.

"But, you bought them with ten gold coins." Carl said with a bit of distress.

Allen shook his head and said: "If I force them to stay, I just keep them. What I want is that they really want to stay here. Well, I'm leaving. I'll leave the matter to you. If there is anything to do in time Notify me." With that, Allen turned and left.

What Allen didn't know was that a group of people behind him were looking at this receding figure with hopeful eyes. It was this person who brought unprecedented light to their dark lives.

Karl saw that the slaves on the ground had already finished their meal, and there was even a hint of eagerness in their eyes.

"You are all finished eating. I will ask you one last time. If you want to leave, you can come to the front to collect the food on your way." Karl reminded you one last time.

But after a while, no one came out.

Karl nodded in satisfaction. In his mind, if someone refuses all the favors that the city lord said, it would be too ignorant.

"Since you all choose to stay, then someone will go down to get your information, and then take you to a river outside the city to wash your dirty things." After Carl finished speaking, he began to let people Putting away the bowl, he said to the butler Karen next to him: "Butler Karen, then you can figure out what to do next. If they don't know what's good or bad, you can tell me."

"It's okay, I'll take care of it." Steward Karen looked at those hopeful eyes, and he thought of the people of Stormwind City, didn't they just yearn for a better life.

Butler Karen said to the few people he specially brought: "Now you go and ask them one by one. The Lord City Master has explained that all those who have special skills must be written down."

These are all apprentices brought by Butler Karen. There are too few management talents in Stormwind City, and there are more and more things to manage in Stormwind City, so he can only lead them by himself.

After receiving the order from Butler Karen, several people took special animal skin paper and pens and began to record one by one.

"My name is Tike, I am 41 years old. I used to be a farmer. Because I offended the nobles in the territory, I was deprived of my property and sent to slavery."

"You will be good at growing something."

"I can grow all kinds of vegetables."

"Name, age, what did you do before, why did you become a slave, and is there anything you are good at."

"My name is George, I am 25 years old, I am a carpenter, but because of gambling, I have nothing."

"Carpentry, how long have you been working?"

"My father is a carpenter. I learned it from an early age, but...but he was so mad because I owed a huge amount of gambling debts."

"My name is Hankison, I'm 22 years old. I'm from another empire. I came here because I was fleeing, but because I didn't have any source of livelihood, I was really hungry at that time, so I had to steal it, and I was finally arrested. became a slave."

"My name is Baker, and I am 28 years old. I used to be a soldier from a small country, but we were defeated because of the abuse of other countries. I became a trafficked slave. After changing hands several times, I came here."
