Farming Lord of Crossing

Chapter 36 36. Integration ([-])

Ross exchanged greetings with the two people from the two villages at the gate and took them to visit Stan Town.

First of all, a uniformly dressed, well-equipped, and disciplined militia can be seen as an army with strong combat effectiveness. Such a militia has surpassed the level of a militia and should be a real army.

The busy villagers inside and outside the wall all had rosy faces and were full of energy, which showed that Stan Town had enough food and was safe enough, and the villagers were full of hope for the future.

Walking into the gate, they saw a spacious and flat central avenue paved with bluestone, and on both sides were uniform, strong and spacious residential buildings. After entering, they realized that there was a residential building with 5 rooms and a backyard of more than 200 square meters. But this turned out to be just the residence of an ordinary citizen.Such a yard is much better than the home Kenfuli is proud of.

On the south side, houses were specially built for refugees and slaves. Although there was no backyard, the firmness and spaciousness of the house were even much better than most houses in their village.

To the south are two full rows of closed breeding sheds, which are full of cattle and sheep, at least three to four thousand heads.Could it be that every household in Stan Town eats meat?
Then came the barracks in the northwest corner, where exactly 50 recruits who were said to have just been recruited were training, but their skilled movements and powerful aura made the militiamen from the two villages feel timid and fearful.

The last is the place where the town officials and free people live, all two-story small buildings, with a small garden in front, and all kinds of bright flowers in the garden are blooming at this time.

this.Seeing the small two-story building, Ken Fulai was completely stupefied. This was a residence he had never dreamed of. Perhaps the place where it could be realized was only in his dreams, and the freeman family in Stan Town had one.

Sitting in the reception hall of the mayor Rose's house, Ken Fulai's face was full of bitterness. Originally, he had brought people to show off his power, but before he had a chance to show his power, he was attacked by wave after wave. Shocked and shocked.

Such a town, let alone build it in my life, I just can't think of it.How can you compare with others.

Even the strength that I am proud of and the number of warriors are not a little bit worse than others. If I am not wrong, there are at least 5 warriors in Stan Town. As for the mayor who always has a gentle smile, I am completely I can't feel the depth, I just feel that I am facing a vast ocean. If I really attack the opponent, I probably won't be able to take a round.

As for Ai Jinjie, the village head of Xiangzhang Village, he is over 60 years old, and his descendants have not broken through as warriors, so he doesn't have so many thoughts. After visiting Stan Town, his eyes shine.

The only idea is that such a capable person should be the mayor, and as long as he cooperates well, Xiangzhang Village will definitely develop by then, and the lives of the villagers will definitely improve a lot.

After everyone was seated, Ross said seriously: "Perhaps your two villages are relatively far away from the Kaslang River in the north, and you don't know the current situation of alien races.

Now, let me tell you what I know. Cinnamon Village has been overrun by kobolds, and after our rescue, only one-third of the population remains.

Then most of the crops in Kangxun Town, northeast of Cinnamon Village, were robbed, and Dawan Town, a little further north, was attacked by jackals many times.And according to what I heard, 5 villages in Wellington close to the Kaslang River were attacked, and most of the villages had no harvest this year.

Do you know these news?
The main reason for Lord Viscount to let the towns implement self-control is here, so that we can live together in this season. "

Ken Fulai was stunned. He instinctively wanted to refute, but seeing the calm blue eyes of the young mayor swallowed the words again, he knew that there was no need for the other party to lie to them in this matter.

However, has the orc invasion reached this point?
Ai Jinjie panicked and said, "Lord Mayor, how should we defend against those terrifying orcs? I heard that every time they dispatch, there are dozens of first-order orcs. The walls and defense forces of our village can't resist it at all." .”

"This is exactly the purpose of my calling you here." Ross said calmly, "I believe that there will be more and more alien races in the future, and their strength will become stronger. So we only need to do three things."

"One is to build a high wall. I believe you have also seen the tall and strong wall in Stan Town, so I will send someone to guide you in building the wall immediately after you go back."

"The second is to increase the defense force. The number of militiamen in each village must be increased to more than 60, and they must patrol 24 hours a day. The training frequency of the militia is fixed at once a day."

"The third is to establish a mutual rescue mechanism. Each village will build a beacon tower after returning. Whenever there is an attack by orcs, the beacon tower should be lit immediately. Other villages, including Stan Town, should send people to rescue immediately when they see it."

The clear organization made it easy for the two village chiefs to understand what Ross meant, and it also made them admire and trust the young mayor even more.

Ken Fulai thought for a while and asked carefully: "Then what else can we do, Lord Mayor? Is there any change in taxation?"

"That's what I'm going to say next." Ross glanced at Ken Fulai and said, "Master Viscount Mordo has made a request after he implemented the town autonomy system that he must ensure the cultivation and protection of potions. The task of planting potions will be directly exempted from the viscount's taxes in the next few years.

Of course, Stan Town will not charge any fees from the villages, and you will use the excess funds to train the militia and purchase weapons, armor and defensive equipment. "

"However, I have one condition or an order. From now on, Stan Town, including Cinnamon Village, Xiangzhang Village, and Taisi Village, must obey the unified arrangement of Fafeya, the agricultural officer of Stan Town," he said. He pointed to a man in his 40s who looked like a farmer sitting on one side.

This time, without waiting for Ken Fu to speak, Ai Jinjie said: "Lord Mayor, is it better for each village to arrange the cultivation by itself? After all, each village should know better about the land conditions in the village."

Fafeya, the agricultural officer, smiled and said under the nod of Ross: "The two village chiefs, do you know what the harvest of our crops in Stan Town is like this year?"

Before they could speak, Fafea continued: "The average yield of wheat per mu is 400 catties, the average yield of potatoes is 1800 catties per mu, and the average yield of corn is 800 catties per mu.

Moreover, Stan Town has already been exempted from taxation for more than doubling the planting amount of licorice, and it will be tax-free as long as it maintains this output in the future.

The most important thing is that Steward Eric also promised that as long as the mayor can increase the production of cinnamon, Gastrodia, and sunflower by 5%, all taxes in these three villages will be exempted in the future. "

Ken Fulai exclaimed in surprise: "How is this possible?" You must know that according to the agricultural officer, the crop output of Stan Town is more than twice that of their village, and it is also exempted from taxes.

"In this matter, I can guarantee that what my agricultural officer said is true." Ross said seriously, he wanted to slowly establish an image for these newly promoted officials who were originally only farmers.

The two looked at each other, then nodded solemnly and said, "If we can really double the output, we will obey the unified arrangement." As the lowest-level officials, it is always important to be able to feed the villagers and live a good life. their greatest pursuit.

Ross nodded and glanced at Bruce, who nodded knowingly and stood up and said, "I am Bruce Jonathan, the administrative officer of Stan Town. You should know that Cinnamon Village has been breached by kobolds, and almost all of them have been destroyed. , so now we need to rebuild Cinnamon Village.

For the construction of Cinnamon Village, the town will arrange a construction team to carry out the construction work, but the population of the village needs to be allocated and supplemented by the two villages.

Therefore, the arrangement in the town is to recruit some of the refugees in the vicinity, and the three villages of Taisi Village, Xiangzhang Village, and Cinnamon Village will ensure that the number of villagers reaches 3 in a ratio of 2 leaders and 500 refugees. "

Then Thomas stood up and said: "I am Thomas Robbs, the commander of the guards in Stan Town. According to the arrangement of the town, in order to effectively improve the strength of the militia in each village, each village needs to keep the militia in a small team of 12 people. Keep it at around 60 people, and each village will take turns arranging a team to receive training in Stan Town every month."

Ken Fulai and Ai Jinjie looked at each other and saw the helplessness and decline in each other's eyes. In this way, the farming, army and population in the village were all controlled by the other party. There is no more.

However, what can they do.The other party is the mayor appointed by Lord Viscount, who has the power to manage their three villages, and is much stronger than them in terms of agriculture, army, and construction. What else can they do except obey?

In this way, Ross simply and neatly integrated the three villages in Stan Town and took them into his own hands.
