Chapter 92, Annexation of Villagers in the Mountain Gorge
Why are the people below reacting so coldly? Because they all understand that although a warrior above level five is not necessarily a knight, a knight must be a warrior above level five. These villagers do not think that they can reach the level of a warrior above level five.
Regarding the lack of cooperation of these guys below, Chen Shihao could only shout with a little regret: "Once you become a fifth-level warrior, the level subsidy will immediately reach 1 gold pound per month. And there is..." Before he could finish his words, there was already a noise below.
Wow. Everyone exclaimed. 1 gold pound. Most of these people have never seen what a golden gold pound looks like in their lives. The shilling is the largest denomination currency they can come into contact with.
This time someone finally shouted: "Master, what else is there besides the level subsidy of 1 gold pound?" As soon as these words came out, everyone shut up and looked at Chen Shihao.
Chen Shihao smiled and said casually: "Being a fifth-level warrior means you can become a first-level knight. So the treatment is naturally different. So in addition to the level subsidy of 1 gold pound per month, there is another treatment. That is: cracking earth."
Chen Shihao knew that he could not recruit knights at all now. Not to mention knights. It was difficult to recruit even fifth-level warriors because he had no right to canonize at all. He was originally the lowest noble. Although his own land could be divided into more than 20 minimum territories. Of course, the retinue collar can also be changed to the retinue collar. However, the retinue collar does not have land ownership and is not so attractive. Only the retinue collar can attract people. Can only retinues be enthroned as retinues? So in order to attract and retain talents, we can only Split the earth. Split the earth like dividing fields among the free people.
Of course, this is not a canonization, but there is still a guarantee of loyalty. It is just that this kind of canonized free people not only need to be loyal to the contemporary people, but also have more freedom than the canonized nobles. Others may offer better treatment or they may not be happy with it. Just throw the land back to the lord, and then you can leave immediately. But it is not so easy for the canonized nobles. Generational loyalty is not mentioned, but you cannot leave at will. A single charge of betrayal is enough to finish you. So this is very important for you. For adventurers who are accustomed to freedom, it is quite attractive.
Chen Shihao is confident that this trick will attract a large number of down-and-out warriors after it spreads. Because when he was studying in the royal city, Chen Shihao knew that countless warriors would always stay at the fifth level. Not only could they not become sixth-level warriors, they would also be unable to become first-level knights. .So I can only earn a living by working as an adventurer or a bodyguard for a businessman.
But if they don't have great luck, they can only spend their lives like this. They don't even have a place to settle their families. And they offer this condition. Although it is not attractive to promising samurai, it is not attractive to these down-and-out warriors waiting to die. The samurai are extremely attractive, because this piece of land is enough for them to settle down and cultivate the strength of the next generation. I believe that anyone with some sense will not miss this opportunity, because the nobles from other places are not The act of tearing apart the earth and cutting flesh would be wasted on these warriors with no future.
Cracked soil... Everyone was stunned by these two words. You must know that unless there is no place that has not been explored, there is no unclaimed land. Like this mountain gorge village, with a radius of more than ten kilometers. Except for Chen Shihao's 800 Except for acres of land, the rest belongs to Earl West. The uninhabited places in the wild mountains and ridges, including the valleys occupied by tiger cats, also belong to Earl West legally.
Why do most of the free people in this world look for jobs in the city? It's simple. Because most of them don't have their own land. After becoming free people, the lord doesn't recruit them to farm the land at all, because the tenants under the lord have extra work. Why do we need to hire freemen who have to pay monthly remuneration to work? So these freemen are forced to go to the city. In the minds of tenant farmers with good lords, freemen are not a good choice.
However, being rewarded with a piece of land by the lord and becoming a free citizen is the ultimate goal of all tenant farmers, because it means that they have become a subordinate of the lord. They can continue to serve the lord and can be promoted more easily. If you are lucky, After achieving military merit, he can even be made a retinue. From then on, he becomes a master.
As long as you become a fifth-level samurai, you can crack the earth. Everyone is focusing on the 10 people in the field. If there is a chance, it will be these 10 people. I definitely can't do it, but my children may be able to. Some mothers He immediately murmured to his incomprehensible baby. Some teenagers had already clenched their fists. They were already sensible and determined to become fifth-level warriors and receive the earth-breaking treatment.
Just when Chen Shihao was about to let them make noise and leave to practice on his own, a loud voice suddenly sounded: "This noble man, I don't know whether the treatment you mentioned is only for your guards or for all those who surrender. ."
Chen Shihao's heart moved. He had arrived so quickly. He followed the sound and saw that the villagers surrounding him made way for a passage. Five young and middle-aged strong men dressed as adventurers were standing outside. The person who said this was obviously The first of the five was a muscular middle-aged man with a beard and a fierce look.
When seeing these five adventurers, Chen Shihao also saw a group of east and west couples outside. There were also several single adventurers, and magicians were watching there. Why did these adventurers and magicians appear here? No one present, including Chen Shihao, was surprised. They all said that this is the only way to go. Whether you are picking cat grass or going to Gawker Kingdom, this is the only way to go. Chen Shihao himself can see it. A caravan of hundreds of people, fully armed, passed by.
If the geographical location was so good, this mountain gorge village would definitely be extremely wealthy. However, the subordinate nobles of the Wushan Earldom under the Gawker Kingdom would come here from time to time to establish military exploits. The tiger cats in the nearby valley would come out to play from time to time. The same goes for demons. They will pop up from time to time to eat people, making no outsider willing to stay here.
If there are no other villages within a hundred miles nearby except Shanxia Village, then even if it is dangerous, people passing by can only stay here. Then they can naturally earn a lot of income. However, the fully functional town of Maoer Town is only a few kilometers away from here. How far is it? Think about how it can be reached in less than a morning by driving a slow ox cart. Would anyone passing by here be stupid enough to stop in this dangerous place? Why not hurry up and go to Maoer Town? Have a good rest.
Therefore, Shanxia Village, which occupies an advantageous position, can only bear miserably all kinds of dangers that arise all the time. It can only drool while watching countless adventurers and caravans passing by the house. But it can't do anything at all. Let them take a break and earn some pocket money.
It can be said that except for the harvest of game fields and the sale of medicinal herbs, Shanxia Village can't even get any other external resources.
"Of course it's for everyone who works for me." Chen Shihao said with certainty.
The big man was about to say something. The brother next to him hurriedly stopped him: "Brother, don't you want to work for this noble man? There are three major disasters in this place. It is not safe at all. There is no point in getting the land."
"Haha. Are the three major scourges interested in the land here?" The big man asked. Not only did he dissuade his companions from shaking their heads, but everyone who heard this shook their heads. Two of the three major scourges were tiger cats and demons. They are not interested in land at all. As for another scourge, although the rubbish nobles of Wushan Earldom in the Gawker Kingdom are interested in land, because of the existence of the first two scourges, it is naturally impossible for them to be interested in the land in Shanxia Village.
"In this case, as long as the land ownership is in my name, then my descendants can prove that they are free people with land anywhere." As soon as the big man said this, not only his four partners were shocked, but also those The adventurers and magicians who only watched the excitement were all excited.
What made them excited about the big man's words was that his descendants could prove that they were free people with land anywhere. Free people who owned land and free people who had nothing were completely different treatments.
It is easy for free people with land to find any kind of job. Nobles are also more willing to recruit such people to work. Because having land means that they will not become thieves or betray easily. They can be trusted more safely. This is the so-called permanent property. It is the foundation of the country and the cornerstone of stability and prosperity.
As for why we talk about future generations, not ourselves, because even idiots know that if you get land granted by others, you will naturally have to work hard for the land grantor. Fortunately, you only need to sell your own life. Future generations can own the land without working hard. .
Chen Shihao also understood the meaning of this. Although it was in line with his own thoughts, he still couldn't help but smile bitterly. Because they didn't pay attention to the harvest of the land at all. They just wanted to be a person with permanent property. So in this case. Don't blame me for reducing the number of fields given to you.
Chen Shihao stood there quietly. His 10 guard members were already guarding the surroundings with knives and guns. Everyone looked at the five adventurers who gathered together to discuss. After a while, they came up with the results of their discussion. .Five people walked towards Chen Shihao at the same time. Everyone's heart skipped a beat. Five adventurers were actually ready to surrender to this master...
The 10 guards and their families were all very happy at this moment, because the idiot also saw that these five adventurers were definitely better than the 10 guards. If they had joined in advance, wouldn't it mean that 5 people would not be able to get the current treatment.
The five adventurers approached. The adventurers and magicians who were watching outside couldn't help but come closer. They had not made a decision yet. They all wanted to see what kind of treatment the first five would enjoy.
"Sir, we are willing to serve you. This is my level certificate. The fifth-level warrior certificate issued by the Maoer Town Samurai Branch." The big man in front of me respectfully took out a parchment and held it in both hands.
Chen Shihao took the parchment and opened it for inspection. He asked: "Where is your identity certificate?" This is normal. There is no identity certificate to support it. How can you prove that this warrior certificate is yours? However, there was no response to this question. Chen Shihao looked up and found that the faces of the five adventurers were not very good-looking. Moreover, the adventurers and magicians who were watching all had the intention of retreating. His heart suddenly moved. It was because their identities were unknown.
"Sir, do you need proof of identity?" the big man said a little embarrassed.
"It's not necessary. But how can I divide the land for you without an identity certificate?" Chen Shihao said this. When he saw the big man in front of him, he thought for a moment. After gritting his teeth, he reached out and took back the warrior level certificate. Chen Shihao hurriedly shrank his hands and smiled: " In fact, this problem can be easily solved.”
"It's easy to solve..." The eyes of the five adventurers suddenly lit up. The adventurers and magicians on the periphery who were about to leave, after hearing this, all subconsciously stopped and walked a few steps closer. step.
