Transcendent Noble

Golden Water City, Black Castle, the meeting hall.

The vassal lords and high-ranking Knights of Centaur Hills responded to Duke York's summons and gathered here to discuss the resettlement of refugees.

"The tenant system proposed by Victor is a wonderful idea!"

Enbis .York slapped the long oak table, his fat face was full of excitement and admiration, and said passionately: " The core idea of ​​the tenant system is that the lords make the people rich, and the rich people make the family strong!"

The lords looked at each other in blank dismay, nobody said anything, everyone’s eyes went back and forth, and finally they all Falling on count's body in the feldspar fort.

Uncle of Duke York, Great Knight Terlandon had to stand up and ask: "My lord, what do people mean by being rich? I can support the family members to be rich. But if it is a refugee... …What is the relationship between whether the refugees are rich and the strong family? In fact, even if the people are rich, they have no direct relationship with the lord. The lord can’t deprive the people of their wealth for no reason, right?"

"Uncle please Sit down." Duke York raised his hand and said with a smile, "Isn't it difficult to understand? Hehe, Victor discussed with me one morning before going to Raven Town. I couldn't understand his point of view at the time. Humble. Why should the refugees share our land and wealth? We are not the owners of the refugees!"

Everyone whispered, nodded said yes. Mrs. Ulena said with a smile: "As long as it is Victor's policy proposal, whether we understand his intentions or not, it is open to question."

The discussion hall suddenly became quiet. Ter Landon count glanced at Mrs. Count with admiration. He didn't want to stand on the opposite side of Victor on the issue of territorial governance. It's just that, as the Uncle of Enbis, family members always regard him as an admonisher who checks and balances the power of the duke.

Enbis said with a smile: "Mrs. Count is right. I discussed with the family scholar for two days and finally understood Victor's vision."

"Currently, The three city walls to block the ant tide have been completed. According to the original agreement, Centaur Hills is obliged to accept 400,000 refugees from Gambis Kingdom within 20 years. However, the church believes that, based on the actual conditions of Centaur Hills, it is fully capable of receiving 100 Ten thousand refugees. Williams Regent King sent a letter asking us to receive 60,000 refugees from the northern counties in batches before the wind season next year. The church is responsible for the specific matters of the migration of the refugees."

"Since we are descendants of Gambis, there is no reason to reject the royal family's request."

Duke York slowed down and continued: "I must remind you that the refugees in the northern counties are not ordinary Loose refugees in a sense. They have lived in the northern part of the kingdom and have been multiplying for hundreds of years. Compared with those refugee groups without a permanent home, they are capable, knowledgeable, wealthy, more united, and become a force of their own. "

"The biggest problem before us is how to master these outsiders?"

The refugees in the northern counties of Gambis are mainly refugees from the Kingdom of Dodo. They lived in Gambis for hundreds of years, and the lord suddenly asked them to give up their land and move to the remote Centaur Hills. They will inevitably bear resentment. Moreover, the leaders of Gambis Kingdom can drive them away once, and they can drive away a second time. This makes them more anxious about their future.

If Centaur Hills accepts dozens of people, hundreds of people at a time, there is no big problem. However, even if the church organizes the migration of refugees in batches, it is a scale of thousands of people at every turn.

Thousands of refugees with the same illness, resentment and hesitation in their hearts will inevitably watch out for each other and help each other on the migration road. For pastors who are in charge of migrants, organized groups of migrants are more likely to cooperate with their work. But for the lord of Centaur Hills, the refugee group of thousands represents a major hidden danger.

The first group of refugees has not been settled yet, and the next group is coming again. Trouble is like a snowball, rolling bigger and bigger, and eventually, it becomes out of control.

The high-ranking Knights were silent, and the little lord was even more worried. Duke York looked around and said confidently: "Victor believes that population is the most precious asset to Centaur Hills. The higher the quality and ability of the refugees, the better. The key is how to turn these people into our wealth. Victor proposed. The tenant system perfectly solves this problem."

"What do the refugees in the northern counties desire most now? A stable life will not be driven out of their homes. In fact, they are legitimate citizens. "

The Enbis detective picked up the hide paper on the table, raised it, and said, "This tenancy document satisfies their desire. As long as they get this document, they will have the tenant's Identity. Tenants are not refugees, and their land lease documents are signed by the lord and are legal. Tenants are not registered subjects either. The lease documents are renewed every 25 years, and the tenant families can give priority to renewal. If the tenants cannot pay on time For rent, laziness, ignorance, and violation of family laws, the lord has the right to suspend the lease. Apart from this, there is no difference between a tenant family and a host family. 30% of the harvest is retained, and four months of labor or militia training are provided each year. Refugees have rented land. Documents, they will treat their families as leaders. What else can attract them than this?"

"The best thing is that the leased field documents are only issued to monogamous refugee families. The head of the refugees. There are usually many women who are destined not to become tenant tenants. Those bachelors who do not have wives will only dig their corners. The gang of refugees collapsed. Our troubles will naturally be solved."

"Okay!"

Terlanden count exclaimed: “Only the children of tenant households are eligible to join the mercenary group. If tenants want to renew their rents, they must work hard. Our leaders have more time to build arms and meet satisfaction. The need to hire Legion is conducive to the strategy of Nantuo. The tenant system proposed by Victor has turned the refugees into our wealth!"

Since we are discussing Victor's proposal, the tenant system must have been appreciated by Sylvia. Since Terlandon count was cleaned up by Sylvia (opposed to the Chamber of Commerce, his youngest son was taken away), he really didn't want to play the role of the Duke's adviser. Sylvia brought back a little Augustus from Kite Castle, and the Turland Counts still wanted to take the child as their own. Anyway, the future heirs of Edward and Anna must be returned to Fred and Audrey, and the task of checking and balancing the power of the duke should be given to the parents of the future queen.

What's more, Victor's tenant system is really amazing.

No matter how good the policy is, as long as the Duke promotes it to the vassal lord, someone must stand up and question it. This is the system that the Great Family maintains stability. Everyone's eyes focused on Fred Viscount. Fred stood up helplessly and said: "The tenant system satisfies the refugees, satisfies the people, and satisfies the church, but it harms the interests of the lord. In order to settle the refugees, we have lost 30% of the gains for no reason, and it does so every year. Of course, I can bear it, but what about the new lords of the family? They are particularly short of money..."

Several newly-canonized vassals Baron frequently nodded, but they heard Fred say: "Tenancy division 30% harvest, too much...just give them 15%." Seeing those Baron's face turned black, Fred added: "We help the lord of the kingdom to settle the refugees, and they should pay us. I propose, the family Take out the funds to subsidize the new lords."

Enbis stood up abruptly, tried to open his eyes wide, stared at his younger brother, and asked loudly, "Subsidies? You want them, or I will go. Do you want to come out, or me out?"

Fred shrugged, spread his hands, sit down again, put on an innocent expression, as if to say: You have seen it, I am not against it, yes Lord Duke did not agree to subsidize everyone.

Several lines of sight were nailed to Enbis’s fat face. He shook his cheeks and said sadly: "You are so shallow... What did Victor say? The people are rich, and the family is strong. The right population is the most precious wealth...Why do you separate tenants from your own wealth? Why can’t you treat tenants as your own wealth?"

The Great Knight Bruce interface said: "My lord, I believe Victor The talent and vision of the people, but I still don’t know the relationship between wealthy people and strong families. We used to think that families are rich and powerful... Could you please explain to us, what is wealthy people and powerful families?"

Enbis patted fat belly, the waiter immediately presented a glass of fresh goat's milk with honey and a napkin. Enbis raised the cup, drank the goat's milk, wiped the corners of his mouth with a napkin, and said slowly: "Poor ghosts and refugees, no fixed homes, lack of food and clothing, their children are stunted, and their bodies are weak. The rich tenants live and work in peace and contentment. Worry-free, their children are naturally stronger and smarter than the children of refugees. A thin migrant hired worker can plant 15 acres of land, a strong tenant farmer can plant 30 acres of land. Eight weak hired workers can plant 120 acres of land, and 8 strong tenant farmers. Four people plant 120 acres of land, and the remaining four can work, learn crafts, or be mercenaries. Therefore, the poorer the weaker, the richer the stronger."

"After all, we should accept the poor. Refugees, or fostering wealthy tenant households?"

"Children from 4 to 8 years old of tenant households can board in general education schools for free. This age group is related to the child’s future growth and development. We instill loyalty to them. The heroic family concept, while allowing them to exercise, hone their will, practice the First Layer secret method of the gray wolf battle skill, and cultivate qualified troops for hiring Legion in advance."

"Parents of tenant farmers see in their children The hope of the family, they are of course willing to take their savings and send their children to military academies and craftsmanship schools. When their children reach adulthood, we get elite hired soldiers, skilled craftsmen and robust farmers. Is the family stronger? "

This argument ignited the enthusiasm of the vassal lords, and everyone whispered, discussing spiritedly.

"so that's how it is...It is true that the people are rich and the family is strong."

"It is indeed Sylvia's choice of partner... The talent of Viscount Randal makes I have nothing to say ."

"I think that Viscount Randal’s talent is comparable to that of Arja’s scholar..."

The chamber was noisy, and Duke York had to slap the table hard and raise the volume. , "Just quiet down for me, wait until I finish talking, and you will discuss."

Everyone stopped talking, Enbis continued: "The wonderful place of the tenant system is not only to train soldiers and craftsmen. It is Victor for With the governance plan tailored by Centaur Hills, other families could not imitate the tenant system."

"In the past, a village of the York family controlled a 20-kilometer territory and was able to feed 3000 to 10000 people. Lord The livelihood of the people should be guaranteed. Therefore, the larger the population of the village, the less the sacrifices handed over to the lord. But in Centaur Hills, 300 square kilometers of land can support 10,000 to 20,000 people, or more. Centaur Hills currently has no shortage of land. What is lacking are warriors, farmers, miners and craftsmen. If Centaur Hills has enough tenants, our leaders will lead the tenant farmers to open up wasteland and build new villages. In this way, the total wealth of the lord will increase instead. "

"On the other hand, although the tenant households are attached to the village, they are distributed by us. The tenant households and the villagers belong to two different groups. The small tenant households do not have the ability to fight against the village office. They are destined Rely on the lord. The tenants are equivalent to the eyes and ears of the lord, and the village supervises and restricts each other. The influence of the lord will be further expanded, at least the village chief cannot conceal the total income of the territory."

Said, Duke York shook his head and said with a smile: "In the past, the natural resources of the territory were limited, and the villagers collected the resources of the territory, and everyone just opened their eyes and closed their eyes... Now, half of the hills are terraced, and the harvest of the territory is not a small amount. . Otherwise, why would the church change the eleven tax collection method? We can’t have a tax officer in every village like Regent King did?”

The vassal lords couldn’t help laughing, a tricky one. The problem was solved in this way.

Duke York knocked on the table with his fat fingers and continued: "As for the harvest distributed to the tenants, you don’t need to care. The tenants are not refugees, they cannot move freely, otherwise they will lose their leased land. Right. The lord sets the rules, and the people follow the rules. We have too many ways to control the tenants’ income. For example, monopolize the trading channels and manipulate the telekinesis price... Everyone must follow a principle, the people’s harvest and the goods can only be Sold to the lord, the lord’s goods can only be sold to the Chamber of Commerce."

The high-level Knight lord who owns the double-headed lizard shares has the same look, but the small vassal lord who has no shares is somewhat different. nature. But they have no way to fight against the will of the family. Two-headed lizards control many resources and have actually monopolized the foreign trade of Centaur Hills.

Duke York has some headaches. When Victor raised the Chamber of Commerce shares, he had already set up a game beyond his imagination. Victor and Sylvia are preparing to dock the two-headed lizard with the Golden Group, which also involves the secret of the gold recovery potion. These things cannot be made public to all the vassal lords for the time being, but as the Duke of the York family, Enbis has the responsibility to calm the emotions of the family members. After he pondered for a moment, he said:

"I promise everyone here, no matter what Whether purchasing materials or selling goods, the two-headed lizard will give the most reasonable price. At the same time, the two-headed lizard Chamber of Commerce will provide low-interest loans to family members who have no shares, and the loan amount is equivalent to three times the territory's annual income. Borrow once every three years, and the repayment period should not exceed five years."

The face of the new lord suddenly looked better. Enbis nodded, asked: "Who still has objections to the family's implementation of the tenant system?"

Everyone shook their heads and agreed to implement the tenant system. Enbis Jawshou said: "Then, everyone will go back now and send the family scholar over to work out the specific details of the tenant system. Then I will provide the implementation method to Bishop Pierot, and ask the church to cooperate with us in assigning tenants."

The lords got up to salute Duke York and retire, leaving the conference hall one by one.

Enbis sat alone for a while, shook the head, and said to the secretary Max beside him: "Look, water conservancy engineering, blue brick trade, Chamber of Commerce, mercenaries, Golden Group, The tenant system... As long as it is Victor's proposal, it can always be passed smoothly. I only asked the lord to purchase the unified purchase, but there were not many who supported me..."

Max took a step forward and said with a bow "The Viscount Randal brimming over with talent, but everyone supports his proposal, mainly because of the transcendent position of the Viscount Randal. If he is in your position, he will still be questioned and resisted by the adults. However, all the administrative measures of the Viscount Randal It is especially beneficial to you...The influence of the Black Fort has unconsciously covered every corner of the Gai Family."

"Max, you are right." Enbis stood hard from his seat. He got up, laughed, patted the clerk on the shoulder, and said: "Victor is for Mrs. Sylvia... The lady is the backer of the Black Fort."

"Send someone to report the results of the meeting to Rose Manor. "

*********************

The Rose Manor, Crystal Flower House.

Sylvia took the minutes of the Blacksburg meeting from old steward, and when old steward left the flowering room, she turned to Tracey and said with a lovable smile: "My dear, guess what, the result of the discussion What is it?"

"The tenant system was proposed by Victor, so what else is there to guess? It must have been passed..." Tracey said drowsily, sitting on the wicker chair on the side of the circle, resting his chin on. .

Sylvia hired Tingting to walk to Tracey and sat down and teased: "I have such confidence in Victor? Could it be that love made my guardian Knight lose the ability to think...Let me see, is there anything here? Getting bigger?"

Tracey patted Sylvia's slender hand on her chest, and said, "What are you doing?"

"I haven't touched it. Now that I have a lover, It's sad to forget me." Sylvia pursed her red lips with a sad and aggrieved look, and then couldn't help giggling.

Tracey blushed, biting her pink lips, unnaturally twisting her head aside. Sylvia folded her shawl and her hair, lightly said with a smile: "You only see the shocking and stunning side of Victor. In fact, he is sometimes silly and cute."

Tracey turned her head and looked at Sylvia's blue Eyes, surprised and asked: "You mean the bear group formed by Victor? But I think the bear group is very valuable."

Sylvia stretched out her slender index finger and nodded Tracey’s forehead. "That's why I said that you were dazzled by love, and you always want to protect your sweetheart... Sophia would not think so, she would use the bear group first, and then abandon the bear group, otherwise her career would be impossible to succeed. Victor formed Golden When I was in the Group, I simply didn’t think about it clearly...No powerful lord can master a commercial organization with such a huge potential. As long as he is my man, he shouldn’t want to dominate the Golden Group, let alone be armed with the bear group."

"Once the relationship between the bear group and Victor is exposed, it will be strangled by the lord."

Tracey suddenly remembered that after the high-ranking Knight of the Dwymick family confirmed her identity, a Every face became particularly ugly. The bear group can bring her to Dwymick's collar, and can cooperate with Sylvia to attack any lord. Even Golden Knight can hardly guarantee his own safety.

This kind of bear group is too terrifying!

No one can tolerate Sylvia pushing her tentacles into her territory. The bear group is immortal, and any lord will not cooperate with the Golden Group.

"Understood. Sophia is the only person who is suitable to be in charge of the Golden Group. We just need to pay dividends based on the shares." Sylvia shook her head and sighed, "Fortunately, that guy gave the Golden Group to Sophia. Otherwise, the Golden Group will cause him and me a lot of trouble... it will cause me a headache more trouble than he shot Austin Beria."

Tracey thought for a moment, his eyes brightened and flat. Asked: "So, Sophia and Victor's relationship can't get better?"

"Well, the stronger the Golden Group, the colder their relationship...unless Sophia is promoted to the golden rank, or Victor Become Sun Elf, then they will be as good as glue again."

Tracey's secretly cocked lips immediately flattened, and his light blue eyes became a little darker. Sylvia pu chi smiled and held Tracey's shoulders, and said, "Did you show it? Nicole's jealousy is all learned from you."

Tracey gave Sylvia a sideways glance, curl one's lip, and lifted it up again. Chin, whispered: "I don't know, that guy is there now?" Sylvia stood up and said solemnly: "Guard Knight Tracey, I order you to take my lover back to Rose Manor. "

Tracey raised her skirt and bowed her knees to salute, a sweet smile appeared on her beautiful face.

"As you wish, my noble and beautiful master."
