Farming Lord of Crossing

Chapter 14 14. Worship and Rewards

After a while, the entire kobold camp was silent, only 37 headless kobold corpses and the smell of blood were left.

Not far away, a figure carrying an animal skin bag that was still dripping blood was walking further and further away.

It was another morning full of vigor and hope. After having a full meal, the villagers of Stan Village went out of their homes to start their day.The militiamen came to the school field on time to start training, and the villagers went out of the village to the field to take care of the crops.

At this time, a militiaman who was patrolling and training outside the village suddenly noticed someone walking from the grassland in the north, accompanied by an astonishing bloody aura.

When the people approached, the militia found that the person walking in the grassland was really his village chief, although he didn't know when the village chief left the village and what he was doing?I don't know what the bloody bag in his hand is for?

The militiaman hurried up to meet him and asked, "Village Chief, you just came back from the wild?"

Ross drove dozens of miles back and forth, and he was not only tired but also very hungry after slaughtering more than 30 kobold tribes by one person. He smiled and nodded lightly to the militia: "You inform everyone , Let all the villagers gather in front of the cemetery behind the village in an hour, I have something to announce."

Mother and little Rocky were not at home, they must have gone to work in the farmland, after a quick wash, they ate a delicious breakfast that their mother had specially prepared for him. Rose was wearing simple black linen clothes, and held a collar with each hand. The bag came to the cemetery behind the village.

The more than 300 villagers there have all gathered together, and they are gathering in groups of three or four, whispering and guessing what Ross will call the whole village to announce this time.

Ross glanced at the neat militia standing at the front with satisfaction, then threw the bloody bag over and said, "Thomas, you guys take out the contents and line up in front of the cemetery. "

Thomas curiously picked up the stuffed big bag, and then gently opened it, and suddenly the blood spurted out, and the bloody things inside were also presented in front of his eyes.

When Thomas realized that all of them were kobold heads, his expression became complicated, with hatred, grief, and a hint of relief and gratitude in it.Raising his head and taking a quick glance at Los, Thomas immediately summoned two militiamen, asked them to bring a large bundle of wooden sticks, and picked up the heads of the kobolds one by one and stuck them on the ground.

The thing that the villagers stuck on the wooden stick turned out to be a kobold's head, and they suddenly became excited and angry.Someone excitedly said words of thanks to Ross, someone wept silently with tears streaming down their faces, someone roared in pain and wanted to rush up and chop the kobold's head with the shovel in his hand, but was held back by his companions ~~~
After the heads of the 37 kobolds were all picked up, the excited expressions of the villagers basically calmed down, and they began to sob softly. They were thinking about their dead relatives and comforting them. You can go to heaven with confidence.

The militiamen, especially the old hunters Lawrence and Haley looked at Los in shock, and once again refreshed their understanding of the young village chief.

That was a complete tribe of kobolds with more than 20 combat powers. They were massacred by the village chief one by one, and even their heads were brought back to commemorate the deceased relatives.

The strength of the village chief is truly unfathomable.Thinking of the militia here, the militiamen are all excited. With such a powerful presence guarding the village, they finally don't have to worry about the tragedy like last winter.The village can then truly prosper and they can live a good life.

Since there is no pastor, the oldest person in the village can only preside over a simple memorial ceremony for everyone. It is a comfort to the deceased that they can rest in peace without worrying about the safety of the village, and they can go to heaven to live a good life.

When the worship was over, Ross did not let the villagers leave, but announced another thing: the reward.

Ross stood at the front and said loudly: "In the past two months, our militiamen have been sweeping around for the safety of the village, hunting and eliminating all beasts and monsters that may pose a threat to the village. So far, the militiamen have strangled all: More than 800 goblins, 37 kobolds, more than 100 prairie wolves and other wild beasts have made great contributions to the safety of the village. You are the guardians of Stan Village and the pride of Stan Village.”

Hearing this, the militia members shouted excitedly.Now everyone can see and experience the stable environment around the village, and the villagers also gave warm applause to the militia.

When everyone gradually quieted down, Ross opened another bag to reveal shiny gold coins, and said loudly: "But it is extremely dangerous to go out of the village and fight with wild beasts and monsters, and you may lose your life at any time. We cannot let our soldiers pay for nothing. , bleeding in vain.

Now, I decided to reward the militia team that has made great contributions to the village: 5 gold coins for each militiaman, 10 gold coins for the deputy captain, and 15 gold coins for the captain. "

At the beginning, the villagers were still shocked by the fact that the militiamen could kill so many beasts and monsters, and the militiamen were still proud of their achievements. The next moment after Ross said the rewards, everyone was stunned. The cemetery fell into an eerie silence.

You must know that according to the cultivation of crops in Stan Village, the family of four worked hard to cultivate the land for a year, and all the harvest was more than 5 gold coins.That is to say, the reward of Ross this time is comparable to a family's harvest for a whole year.

How can this not shock them!

The next moment, when Ross opened another bag to reveal a large amount of gold and silver coins inside, all the militiamen fell into ecstasy, and the villagers looked at them enviously.

The family members of the militiamen were also very excited. The complaints about the militiamen not being able to take care of their families and being injured all the time disappeared without a trace.

In fact, most of the militiamen knew that sweeping up wild beasts and strangling the goblin camp during this period was rewarding. After all, the glistening gold and silver coins were actually placed in front of their eyes when the goblin camp was wiped out.

However, this world is like this.The village provided them with training, weapons and equipment, and food. They were completely separated from the farmland and their families were exempted from taxes by [-]%.No more rewards.

All the spoils obtained in the war are not directly related to them, and belong to the village and the lord.

So what Ross said just now was to reward the militiamen, not to distribute the harvest.

When the militiamen stepped forward to take the inscribed gold coin from Los, they had no complaints about joining the militia and going out to fight wild beasts and monsters, and they all felt that joining the militia and following the young but powerful man in front of him The village chief was the wisest decision in my life.

Joining the army in this world also has requirements for families and personnel.For a family with two or more males, if the second son is an adult, the second son will join the army; if the second son is an underage and the eldest son is an adult, the eldest son will join the army; if both sons are underage, the father will join the army. It is necessary to ensure that each family has an adult male as the only labor force and the basis of population reproduction.

The principle of this regulation comes from a stupid and greedy baron. In order to fight for an iron mine, he forced all males over the age of 18 and under 40 to join the army and launched a battle for iron mines. The result of the war was naturally because He won with a larger army, but at the cost of two-thirds of his soldiers.

The final outcome is obvious. A large number of families lost their pillars and were broken up. There was not enough labor force and a lot of land was abandoned. Within three years, the entire territory was completely deserted.This stupid lord was also executed by the king.

Since then, the surrounding empires have directly promulgated regulations requiring all lords to abide by conscription regulations, and it took several twists and turns to form the current conscription rules and practices.

Therefore, even if the villagers are envious of the current militiamen, there is nothing they can do. After all, not everyone can become a militiaman, and the village chief has no plans to increase the number of militiamen.

The militiamen happily took their wives and children home with their shiny gold coins under the envious eyes of other villagers.It can be predicted that they will live a good life with plenty of food and clothing for some time to come.
