Be A Lord Starting Today

"Halaus, go and gather all the townspeople, and I will announce this myself."

Don Juan got up from his chair.

This is a matter of improving the loyalty of the people in his own territory, and he has to do it himself.

"Yes Yes!"

Harlaus stood up from the ground like an old dog turning over, and then led the young people out of the castle.

Harlaus ran on the muddy road in the center of the town, yelling loudly, "Everyone come out, gather in front of the castle, Lord Don Juan has something important to announce!!"

They were all yellow and thin, and cautiously poked their heads out of the house: "It's important, what is it?"

"Is the new nobleman going to raise taxes for us?!"

"Damn it, these aristocrats, we are human too, if we add taxes, can we still survive!!"

"Sure enough, nobles are all the same. I shouldn't have hoped for it before."

This place has a history of 20 or 30 years, and there have been many nobles before. Originally, the tax was not so heavy, but one by one the nobles kept increasing taxes here, and finally it is like this.

"Halaus! Did you end up becoming a lackey of the nobles too! Bah!"

"Running dog! Go to hell!"

An angry young man grabbed a handful of dirt from the ground and threw it directly at Harlaus.

Harlaus couldn't dodge in time, and was thrown a mouthful of foul-smelling soil. He coughed uncomfortably, and at this time the young people following Harlaus shouted one after another: "Everyone, Don! Lord Huang is a good nobleman, he does not raise taxes, everyone can rest assured!"

"No tax increase? Then what is he going to do?"

"No matter what you want to do, it's always good not to raise taxes. Let's... go to the front of the castle to see?"

"go?"

"Go."

In the end, they were persuaded, and one by one began to gather in front of the castle.

The town is very small, and Don Juan standing on the castle sees all of this.

Nearly 2,000 people from the whole town gathered in front of Don Juan's castle.

And Don Juan stood on the top of the castle wall for the convenience of speaking and seeing everyone.

"Everyone in Xieyue Town."

"I am Don Juan, a baron who is new to this place."

Tang Juan's breath sank to his dantian, and his voice was like a bell, making sure that everyone heard his voice.

"I know that some of you must be secretly scolding me at this moment, calling me a vampire noble."

"And you don't know me, I'm different from those nobles outside."

Everyone was listening to Don Juan's speech in silence, some were expressionless and looked on coldly, and some of them expressed hope to Don Juan.

Nearly two thousand people, in various poses and with different expressions. .

"I am different from the nobles outside because I know the sufferings of the people! Here I declare that this year and next year's tax will no longer be collected! You can keep all the harvest! And for the tax collected after next year, I will pay the nobles' tax I swear by my identity, I will only charge 40%! Until I die!"

Don Juan took a deep breath and said loudly.

When this passage came out, everyone's eyes widened immediately, and they looked at Don Juan standing on the castle in disbelief.

"This...is this all true..."

The middle-aged muna farmer who was the first to beg Don Juan for mercy at the gate of the town opened his eyes wide, and tears flowed out uncontrollably, soon covering his withered face.

"From now on, never, never go hungry again..."

"Tim, Tim, slap me, I, I'm not dreaming."

A young man who was hit by this huge surprise lost his legs and sat on the ground. He shook his hand and pulled his companion beside him.

But he found that Tim had fainted to the ground because of excessive joy.

This is not an exaggeration, they were as surprised when they heard the news as when a Common man on Earth in Don Juan's previous life learned that he had won a five million lottery.

Absolutely great bliss.

"Long live Don Juan!"

"Long live!!"

No matter what kind of emotion is excessive, it needs to be vented.

Joy was no exception. Immediately, the nearly 2,000 people present cheered crazily.

They shouted the name of Don Juan.

And Don Juan looked at the numbers rising in front of him with a smile.

+40

+50

+38

It's all about loyalty!

【Ding! The average loyalty of the people in the territory reaches 75. 】

Hearing this hint, Don Juan's smile grew wider.

"Harlaus."

Don Juan cried out.

"My lord."

Harlaus, who had been standing behind Don Juan before returning, stepped forward immediately.

"Where is the town's granary? I want to distribute some to the people in the town."

asked Don Juan.

"granary...."

When Don Juan mentioned this, the smile on Harlaus' face froze.

"What's wrong?"

Noticing Harlaus's expression, Don Juan asked.

"My lord, I also said before that the surplus grain that needs to be taxed this year is in the granary, but... that belongs to Earl Bergenrath... The granary is five miles outside the city. The Lasso Knights in charge of Xieyue Town sent 30 men to garrison there... fully armed, and 20 of them even had bows and arrows..."

"When they left, they didn't take the food away because they were short of manpower, but Sir, they will definitely come again."

"My lord, there is no need to move that granary. There is still a part of the grain in the town that has not been sent away. This grain can barely feed the townspeople. The townspeople can bear with it for a while. Anyway, there will be a batch of harvest in the spring of next year. food."

Harlaus was obviously lonely, he said.

Count Bergenrath was the nobleman who sold the territory to Don Juan.

"No, those grains must be obtained!"

Harlaus doesn't know, but Don Juan knows that in the spring of next year, those barbarians and orcs in the depths of the wilderness will all riot!

Harvesting grain at that time would be too risky, and now there is not enough grain in the town!

Therefore, that granary must be taken down!

"My lord..."

Harlaus gritted his teeth and said, "I'm going to gather the young people in the town now. We'll dispatch all of them, at least a few hundred people, and we should be able to grab the food."

"No."

Don Juan stretched out his hand and stopped Harlaus from leaving.

"It's enough for me alone."

"My lord, that's thirty people."

Harlaus' eyes widened.

..........

night.

Five miles away from Xieyue Town, there is a granary.

Several bonfires were lit, illuminating the surrounding darkness.

"Come! Drink!"

"Hahahahaha!"

A group of soldiers in padded cotton armor and pot helmets held wooden cups in their hands. The yellow liquid of ale in the cups reflected the light of the campfire, making it appear crystal clear.

Wooden shields and swords were thrown all over the place by drunken them.

They were guarding in front of a granary without any sense of crisis at all.

However, there were two people who did not participate in it, a tall knight retinue wearing light chain mail, a pot helmet, and a long sword at his waist.

The other is Common's soldier in padded armor.

"Master, when are we leaving?"

"In about a month, Sir Lasso will have to return to the nearest territory, and then bring people to fetch food."

"One month later, okay, go early and be quick, I don't want to wait until next year to be killed by those disgusting savages or orcs with those pariahs."

The soldier glanced in the direction of Xieyue Town and sneered.

And in the darkness not far away, a petite black figure was approaching the granary on tiptoe.

Not tall, and a little delicate.

"Hey...grain...the taste of grain..."
