Our family is in decline

He handed the people to Barristan to take with him first, just to maintain order at the scene, and then Lance asked someone to put up a sign in the middle of the square with all the new policies posted on it.

It doesn't matter if you don't understand, he has arranged for someone to read out the explanation.

At the same time, Lance set up a stall and began to register those people in detail, and also applied for positions.

Only by holding a document issued by him to prove your identity can you participate in the work, and you also need this to receive wages.

For those who have really helped him in the past few days, such as those prostitutes, Lance arranges better jobs for them so that they can survive on their own strength and get rid of everything in the past.

All of this was going on in an orderly manner, and Lance showed great energy in handling everything, meeting and getting to know those people one by one.

He is further strengthening his prestige and concentrating power, which also allows the townspeople to recognize and understand him.

Let the townspeople know that everything they have now is given by the lord, and without the lord’s nod, nothing else is anything.

As night fell when this situation continued, a huge bonfire was placed on the square, with several large pots placed around it, with food stewed in it, and baskets of black bread.

Lance even ordered a pig to be killed for today's meal, but it was impossible to separate it, so he chopped the meat into minced meat and added it to the porridge to stew. As for the offal, he chopped it finely and mixed it with the vegetables to stew it.

Each person had a bowl of meat porridge, a bowl of chowder, and a piece of black bread. They had just enough to eat in the previous three days, but tonight they were full and had some meat on them.

This also makes them believe that the lord can lead them to live a good life, and they look forward to tomorrow.

Lance and the others started a small stove alone, and a large portion of roasted pork chops was brought up, and they quickly shared the food.

After drinking and eating, several people started talking about today's events.

"Sir, how did you know that those townspeople would be in unrest?"

Disma was even more impressed by Lance's ingenuity. He was arranged to disguise himself early in the morning and lurk among those people, so Lance could accurately find those who took the lead in making trouble.

"Because the corruption has spread. Although you can't feel it, I can see that many of them have been affected." Lance said something specious with a nagging look on his face.

Of course he couldn't see the so-called spread of corruption, but relied on speculation about people's hearts.

There are more than 800 people. It is impossible to say that there are no unruly people here. In addition, those people have never had free food. Now that I have fed them for three days, I will definitely be unwilling and unwilling to go back without food like this. That state before.

So they will definitely make trouble. The difference lies in the intensity of the trouble.

And Lance deliberately transferred the people who maintained order to indulge them. He wanted these unruly people to cause trouble.

Only by making a fuss can he identify the restless guys hiding inside and have a reason to recruit a group of laborers to fill the farm.

This is a very real problem, that is, he transferred all the workers from the farm, resulting in a shortage of manpower there.

In other words, he needs to find a way to replenish the farm with serfs, and these criminals who do not need to pay are the best choice.

So this is a trap set by Lance, just waiting for those guys who can't stand the temptation.

Also in order to control the intensity of the turmoil, they were suppressed by thunderous means as soon as they emerged. Everything was under Lance's control.

Once the restless and unruly people are eliminated, his majesty is consolidated, and policies are implemented, the security of the territory will increase, and at the same time, the farm can replenish its labor force.

But these calculations couldn't tell them, so Lance changed the subject and asked a question.

"The town has been temporarily stabilized. Who do you think our main enemy is now?"

"Of course it's the cultists, they are responsible for all this." Disma blurted out directly. He urgently needed the blood of his enemies to wash away his shame.

"No~" Lance shook his head slowly, "It's the bandits. I think the bandits are our biggest threat now."

Lance's argument aroused some of their thoughts, and he began to explain without waiting for them to say anything.

“Those cultists are busy dealing with the seal and have no time to care about us, but the bandits’ previous retreat was only temporary.

Now that more than ten days have passed, the supplies they plundered are about to be exhausted, and there are no caravans moving on the old road. The bandits without replenishment will definitely rob the town again.

Moreover, if we want to fight against the evil god, we must have more people and more equipment, and these require us to further develop the economy of the town, but now the bandits are entrenched on the old roads and rob passing merchants, making it impossible to develop at all.

Therefore, whether it is for the safety of the town, for better economic development, or to fulfill my promise to avenge the dead townspeople, the bandits must be eradicated. "

As the saying goes, "If you want to get rich, you must first build roads." Therefore, if you want to develop a small town, you must open up the only channel to the outside world - the old road. Otherwise, no matter how much money he spends now, he will be in vain.

What's more, Lance also needs more sacrifices to obtain gifts to increase his strength. He cannot kill his own people, but bandits can~

Bandits must be suppressed at any time, if not!

After identifying the enemy, all topics came together.

"Baristan, you participated in the war at that time. Let's start here and talk about the situation at that time."

Although I have heard about the two wars before, the perspectives are very different.

As a veteran, Barristan's analysis of the battlefield can give Lance a great reference.

In the narrative, Barristan did not participate immediately, but came here on his own initiative after hearing about banditry in a nearby town. When he arrived, the war had not yet fully started, and the bandits did not have artillery.

In his impression, the strength of bandits is also uneven. Most of them are at the level of ordinary bandits, but some bandits with white fur are particularly strong.

These elite melee fighters all wear armor. The musketeers are very accurate and like to shoot cold shots. It is difficult to find their location, but there should not be many in number.

There is a group of church knights in the town, and the mercenary guild also has many strong mercenaries, plus the guards of various caravans and militiamen. Together, there is not much difference in strength, so the two sides are in the stage of tension.

This lasted for a while, until suddenly one day, a large number of gunmen appeared and launched several cannons, directly destroying the defense line and entering the town, burning, killing and looting.

"Where did these people get the artillery? Bandits generally can't get this kind of thing." Disma asked. He had been in this business before, but he had never heard of any bandits being able to steal artillery.
