Chapter 578: territory

boom!
Wu Ming leisurely seems to walk, walk in the crowd, the scabbard swings freely, every time a farmer falls down and can't climb for a long time.
"Real knight!"
Mrs. Amilyya saw this scene, but she leaned softly on the threshold and was completely desperate.
She originally thought that Wu Ming was only the second son of a nobleman. Good luck used this opportunity to plot her husband's territory, but I could not imagine that such a young aristocrat was actually a real knight!
In fact, even if the real knight is to deal with dozens of people in one breath, it is quite laborious.
But the difference between the farmer and the trained warrior is too great, and they are simply clasped and afraid to fight back, so even if any of the knights come, they can easily suppress them, just like Wu Ming is doing now.
call out!
Wu Ming finally took out the sword and looked at the rest of the farmer.
"What gave you so much courage, dare to come to me! A distinguished jazz, crucified savage, champion of the spring contest, and William Wallace, who defeated the church glory knight?"
Of course, because of the inconvenience of transportation, the results of the spring contest have not yet arrived here. Otherwise, Wu Ming estimates that his takeover can be much smoother, but he shouted out and also had a shocking taste.
"Now, punish yourself with your hands that are disrespectful to the lord, and kneel down to kiss the land under my feet, I will forgive your previous infidelity, otherwise your soul can only cry to hell!"
The long sword flickers, showing that what he said is not a false statement.
"You are a real knight! The people need your guardian!"
What made Amelia more desperate happened.
The first to surrender, turned out to be the old warrior of Joe.
He knees on his knees and kisses the land under Wu Ming's feet in a pious voice.
As a rare open-minded person on the territory, he already knows that his wife’s plan has completely failed, and... this is a dark and dangerous world, and there must be a strong lord to protect the people! Women can't do it after all!
This is helpless, but it is also a reality!
"Good! As a punishment, you only need to smoke ten whips, I forgive your previous sins!"
Wu Ming looked to the side: "Who is willing to execute?"
"Lord Lord, I am willing to offer you loyalty and become your humble servant!"
Many tenant farmers immediately turned against the water and fell down and kissed the land at the foot of Wu Ming.
Ami Liya was softened by the whole person and deeply felt the betrayal. The kind of female sorrow deeply enveloped her, and even made her turn around.
The exhalation of the two daughters came from the ear, and immediately she was black in front of her eyes and completely fainted.
......
"mom!"
"mom!"
I don't know how long it took, she opened her eyes and saw the arrangement of her bedroom, as well as the anxious faces of her two daughters.
"The gods... I seem to have made a terrible nightmare!"
Mrs. Ameliya whispered, "I dreamed of a young devil coming, taking away everything from me..."
"I am very sorry... madam!"
The old butler with broken nose bridge stood on one side, his face was covered with gauze, reminded by a voice that changed into a tone: "I am afraid it is not a nightmare!"
Ami Liya lamented and sat up halfway and saw Wu Ming.
"When you are fainting, this is... the Lord Lord saved you!" The butler continued.
"alright, you win!"
Ami Li said helplessly: "I will leave with my two daughters!"
"Madam, I think you misunderstood what I meant!"
Wu Ming smiled and said.
"You are willing to marry my daughter, or..."
Ami Liya’s face was red:
Do you insist on your previous request?

"I really need you... as my steward!"
After teasing this beauty, Wu Ming finally said.
"housekeeper?!"
Mrs. Amilyya blinked and looked a little cute.
"Yes... I need someone who is familiar with the territory and has prestige to help me manage the territory. As my steward, I will pay you, and you and your daughter can continue to live here... Of course, if If you like, I am willing to accept them as a foster daughter. When they grow up, I will prepare a rich dowry for each of them. How about?"
Being kind to the will of the former lord is also a hidden rule in the circle of the nobility.
Wu Ming does not want to spread his reputation about being mean or cruel. In contrast, it is very important that a little peach rumor is not a problem at all.
"I promise!"
Almost without thinking, Mrs. Amilyya agreed.
After all, she is only a civilian woman, no maiden can rely on, except for the territory, there is really no other place to go.
"Juris, Samuel, come, see your godfather!"
She immediately had the spirit to let her two daughters bow to Wu Ming.
Although she knew that Wu Ming had mastered the custody of her two daughters, she could exercise all power before they were young, but she could do nothing.
"godfather!"
The two lolies screamed sweetly, making the next side of Beatrice snorted with dissatisfaction.
"As for you..."
Wu Ming looked at the poor old housekeeper and made a decision. He knocked him down one level: "It’s a deputy to be a steward!"
......
The people who led the Carlos quickly learned an amazing news, they changed a new lord.
The lord is so powerful that he is a true knight, and the rumors of the glory knight who once defeated the church and the entire mercenary group are always more exaggerated.
With the protection of this powerful knight, you should be free from the harassment of bandits and savages?
After being led by the butler and the husband, and pledge allegiance to the new lord in batches, the hearts of all the people settled down.
The lords offer loyalty and taxation to the lord, and the lord is responsible for protecting the ruling people under the rule. This is also a mutual power and obligation.
In the dark ages, a powerful lord, even though it is ruthless, but as long as there is power, there will still be an endless stream of people to rely on, just to be safe!
The scourge of a lord is not worth mentioning compared to the entire savage group, as well as the ferocious beast and the sinister environment.
"This is my Carlos collar!"
Wu Ming rode on the horse and began to patrol his territory. The deputy of the butler next to him continued to explain to him.
After a lap, he had some intuitive understanding of his territory.
The entire area of ​​the Lokas has nearly a thousand acres, which is much larger than the seal of the former ordinary knights. It is converted to nearly four million square meters and six thousand acres of land.
Of course, most of these are mountains and hills, and the cultivated land that has been opened is only about two thousand acres.
In the entire territory, there are 90 tenant farmers, two free men, one skilled in the art of blacksmiths, and one scholar.
In addition to these, there are also water mills, animal pens, warehouses, and manor courts. These are public buildings and are nominally owned by his lord.
However, the most crucial thing is that as a lord, Wu Ming has all the mountains, rivers and pastures. Among the two thousand mu of cultivated land, one thousand mu is his private land.
The people who are under his command, or the serfs, must first cultivate his land and then work in his poor land.
Even the land is not owned by the serfs, only because they have paid taxes, so the lord cannot be deprived at will.
"This counts, it is more than the exploitation of the ancient landlords!"
Wu Ming sighed in his heart.
It can be said that on the lord's pick, except for a few free people who own certain private property, everything else belongs to the lord.
"The efficiency of this exploitation is too low..."
As an experienced and experienced paster, Wu Ming is naturally dissatisfied with this efficiency: "I want to bind all serfs to the land, all the people become slaves, why not simply exercise slavery." Forget it? It’s really a retrogression in history.

The golden idea that he can make money is naturally a lot, but it all needs people! Need a craftsman, a guy with a skill to work for him!
"Now... I already have a knight's seal, which is the threshold for entering the aristocratic circle. Some of the previous plans can be started..."
Anyway, however, farming, as well as the development of handicraft products, glass, salt, improved wrought iron, etc., Wu Ming does not say that it is well-known in the heart, but also has a grasp of seventy-eight percent.
"Of course... first of all, it is to carry forward your authority first!"
Can make people feel the authority, naturally iron and blood!
The implementation of this set of internal can only gain fear and resentment, but to the outside world, but can get cheers and wealth.
"Jove!"
Wu Ming said to the veterans: "The great guys in the territory are called!"
In the territorial court, Wu Ming, like the judge, looked at the young faces of curious, awe, and restlessness below. He suddenly smiled: "From today, after you have lived through the farm every day, you can choose to go to the coach to receive the training of the soldiers. The person who does it will receive a loaf of bread as a reward after the training!"
"And after the end of the spring ploughing, I will take you to crusade around the bandits and savages!"
He provoked a thousand waves, but erected his hand and pressed the voice down: "I promise you as the lord, and you will be a free man in the future battle. You will be your own. Land opportunity!"
Half-step in the lead era is a genius, one step is a madman!
Although Wu Ming can't wait to liberate everyone on the territory as a free man, he also knows that this is impossible and must be slowed down.
In the future, refinement and division of labor are the general direction, and these all require a free population!
