""My Lord, there are people coming from the intersections on both sides of the territory. Some of them are from Huoshan Territory, some are from Hongyun Territory, and some are from Black Stone Ridge. What do you think we should do with them?" The one who came to report was Charles.
Richard was a little surprised and asked:
"How many of these people are there?"
"It is difficult to count. There are still more people showing up. We have to wait until the end to confirm the number.~"Charles said.
Richard nodded.
This is really a pleasant surprise. Just when he was short of people, someone came to his door.
This is simply like someone sending a pillow when you are sleepy!
He waved his hand directly:
"Since they want to come, then accept them all! However, tell them that they can come to my Long Eagle Territory! However, everyone must sign a slave contract and start as a slave!
Just like the previous slaves, if they work for at least three years, they can obtain the status of a citizen of my Long Eagle Territory!"
"Yes!"
Charles was about to say goodbye, but suddenly thought of something and asked again:
"Then, should we select some talents from this group of people?"
Richard nodded:
"Of course they have to be selected, and they just follow the normal slave process. However, even those who are selected with special skills are still slaves, they just do different things from others, and there is no preferential treatment in terms of status!
Tell them that if they can accept this, they can be brought in directly!"
"Yes! Lord! I'll do it right away!"
Charles bowed and left.
Richard then turned to look at Rhodes standing beside him:
"What? Is your eye twitching?"
Rhode had been winking at Richard before, but he didn't dare to interrupt when Richard was giving orders to his subordinates. Now that Richard finally looked at him, he quickly said:
"My Lord, this is not allowed!"
"Oh?" Richard laughed,"Why can't it be used?"
Rhodes persuaded:
"According to the tacit understanding between the lords, the normal way is that we should arrest all these people and send them back to their original places.
At that time, our neighbors will also remember this favor and get along well with us in the future.
Richard sneered:
"Have you ever heard of making friends far away and attacking those near?"
Rhodes shook his head blankly.
Richard said:
"What this means is that you should make friends with people far away, not those around you. As for those around you, it makes sense to fight with them."
Rod asked in confusion:
"But I seem to have seen a sentence in the library that says a distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor.……"
"Governing civilization and making friends cannot be confused. In short, I will not agree to this matter. As for their feelings? Haha……"Richard looked at him with disdain.
Rhodes said worriedly:
"But if this is the case, I'm afraid that the three of them will unite to suppress us. Although they may not be our opponents, I'm afraid that the territory will be uneasy in the future. I hope the lord will reconsider this?"
"I know this, you don't have to worry." Richard nodded,"Go do your work!"
"Yes!" Rhodes bowed deeply.
War?
Richard didn't care.
With the current strength of the Eagle Territory, it may seem like a small territory to others, but in fact, it can no longer be ignored.
The Earl Territory and the Marquis Territory are no longer his opponents.
Even the Duke Territory has to consider whether it can afford the price.
The Red Devil's ship is parked in his port. He believes that his achievement of killing the Red Devil will not be concealed at that time. Of course, Richard didn't intend to hide it.
Since he didn't care about the small fish and shrimp, and those Duke Territories would not pay a greater price for the face of a few small Viscount Territories.
What's more, once a duke really led a large army to attack him, he would We have to consider the identity of Duke Gewen.
Although it is highly likely that Duke Gewen will not care about the life or death of Richard, his second son.
But those people don't know!
Moreover, even if they know, Richard is Gewen's son after all. Do they really believe that Duke Gewen will not care at all?
In other words, if they find that Richard's strength is enough to match any of the dukes among them, Duke Gewen will find out by then.
Then will Gewen use his relationship with Richard to change his attitude and become closer?
Even if Gewen wants to watch Richard being beaten to death, then at that time, can Gewen do it in the name of revenge for his son ? To conquer other dukes?
There are too many complicated games involved.
But from Richard's own perspective, from the lords of the three surrounding viscounties expressing their opinions, to being dealt with directly by Richard, to the earls and marquises behind them reacting, and then investigating, holding meetings, and even sending troops.
This process will probably take a long time.
And Richard's strength is changing with each passing day with the help of the system.
In just a few months, he has grown from a junior extraordinary knight to a senior extraordinary knight.
From a firefly to a dazzling morning star.
So what will he become if he is given another month or two?
You know, when he beat the Red Devil, he didn't use all his strength. power.
Later, he even obtained the knight's combat skill Thunder Half Moon Slash.
In addition to the growth of strength during this period, not to mention the existence of the unicorn.
He even felt that he could try to compete with an ordinary duke one-on-one.
And no one could guarantee what would happen to him in a month or two.
He had already made up his mind about all this.
Time is on his side after all.
When the whole continent knows the title of Viscount Richard, then, will anyone be able to stop him?
Richard is looking forward to it.
These are just his reasoning and control of the future, and the current pace of development will not be affected in any way.
……
On the other side, Charles has led his men to the border of the territory
"Captain Charles!"
When Cadiz saw the captain coming, he immediately dismounted and saluted.
"You continue to work, I will take care of these people!" Charles said
""Yes!"
After saying that, Kadis led his men to stand aside.
When those people saw Charles coming, they felt an extremely powerful aura from Charles and immediately bowed down:
"Meet the Lord!"
"Please take me in, lord!"
Charles' face was dark, and he spoke with a shaking breath:
"I am not the Lord, but the Lord has already responded."
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then immediately bowed with nervous faces:
"Please give me your instructions, sir!"
"Let me tell you first, if you want to join the Long Eagle Territory, you can, but everyone must start as a slave and sign a slave agreement. If you can't accept it, you can leave now!" Charles said
""Can we know how the slaves are treated here?" Someone asked boldly.
Charles smiled:
"Normally, you will be doing hard labor in the mines, which may be even harder than what you did before. Lazy people cannot survive here."
"Can you eat enough?"Someone asked
"Full! But letting you eat is also for better work!" Charles said very clearly,"and once the slave agreement is signed, you can't leave even if you regret it! Slaves who want to escape, we have a special set of punishments waiting for you!"
Everyone looked at each other, and then as if they didn't hear the warning behind, they all said excitedly: (To read the violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
"Great! As long as I have enough food to eat, I'm willing to do anything!"
"I do, and so does our whole family!"
"Very good! Those who are willing to come, follow me! Don't fall behind on the road, and don't turn around, otherwise you will be killed as a spy!"Charles waved his hand and led everyone to the depths of the territory.
On the way, he said to everyone again:
"I forgot to tell you just now that the slave agreement is for three years. After three years, you don’t have to do slave work anymore!"
Everyone was shocked.
"What? Only three years? We won't have anywhere to go by then!"
"Yes! I used to be a tenant farmer. I gave up my freedom to come here. I didn't just work for three years. Couldn't I stay in Long Eagle Territory forever?"
Everyone was a little flustered and disappointed.
Charles didn't expect that his words would cause panic among these people, so he added:
"Of course you can stay in Long Eagle Territory forever!"
"But you just said we only signed a three-year slave agreement!"Someone asked in confusion
"Don't interrupt me!"
Charles exuded his aura, shocking everyone, and then continued:
"The three-year slave agreement is that after three years, you will obtain the status of a resident of the Long Eagle Territory. At that time, you will be a permanent resident of the Long Eagle Territory!
As for the rights and interests of permanent residents, they do not have to go to the mines, can get spouses, and when the resource allocation is not enough to include slaves, they can enjoy better priority.���Food.
But I can guarantee you that even if some meat cannot be distributed to slaves, the slaves can at least enjoy meat and vegetables with normal proportions, and I guarantee that you will not go hungry for a meal."
Everyone was very happy to hear this.
This not only ensured that they could have enough food within three years, but also meat and vegetables?
Slaves also have meat and vegetables?
This is incredible!
Moreover, after three years, the singles among them can get spouses, and they don't need to go to the mines!
For these, even if they have worked hard for the past three years, it doesn't matter!
Let's do it!
Everyone's faces showed excitement.
"I haven't finished yet. In addition to these, no matter whether they are subjects or slaves, as long as they meet the physical requirements, they can participate in militia training. Militia can learn sword skills, gun skills, shield skills, military formations, and the use of long weapons. Once they have experienced actual combat and meet certain conditions, they can also practice breathing techniques.
Yes, that breathing method you are thinking of!
In other words, some of you will become my colleagues in the future, become militiamen, knights, or even generals of the Long Eagle Territory!"
Everyone was stunned and even forgot to breathe.
How is this possible?
This is absolutely impossible!
This is impossible anywhere else!
This is indeed a paradise!
It is indeed a paradise!
Then, Charles continued as he slowly moved forward on his horse:
"In addition, even if you do not meet the requirements for recruiting militia, all children of the subjects will go to school when they reach the age. There is no tuition fee, and the students will have better food than adults.
As for the subjects, although they cannot go to school, they still need to learn to read in the evening after work every day. In Changying Territory, no subject is allowed to be illiterate!
If you have a fast ability to absorb knowledge, even if you do not go to school, you still have the opportunity to become the manager of the territory!
The premise is that you are obedient, hardworking, and diligent!"
Afterwards, Charles did not speak again, but the crowd still could not come back to their senses for a long time, and their legs just mechanically followed the large army forward.
Suddenly, someone shouted:
"Sir, can I go back and lie down? If I come in a few days, can I still join the Long Eagle Territory?"[]
As this person spoke, a small number of people immediately followed suit and asked.
Charles was a little surprised that someone would leave at this time?
He was surprised, and more people were also surprised, and they all started to curse:
"Idiot! We finally have this opportunity. If Changying doesn't want you when he gets the chance, you will never have the chance to live this kind of life again!"
"That's right! I don't know what you guys are thinking? You weren't really sent by someone to spy on us, were you? You want to run away after finding out?"
Charles reached out to stop the noise, looked at the person who spoke first and said:
"You haven't signed a slave contract yet, so it's no problem for you to leave. As for whether the territory will need people at that time, I would like to ask you why you are leaving now.
And so many of you want to leave, why? Did you forget to bring something?"
The man shook his head and said:
"I want to go back and call all my relatives over!"
Others also said:
"Me too! And my friends, if they knew the conditions were so good, they would definitely come!"
With these people's reminders, those who originally had no intention of going back also said they wanted to go back.
Charles smiled:
"If that's all, tell me your hometown address, and I'll let them know about it. As for whether they come or not, it depends on their own luck!
You don't want them to think you've been cheated and stop you from coming!"
Everyone hesitated for a moment, and after a while, they nodded and said:
"I believe that adults will not lie to us, and there is no need to lie to us. I will not go back. I have finally come across such an opportunity and I don’t want to miss it!"
"Then I won't go back either!"
Charles sneered in his heart. This group of people was indeed the kind of mob that the lord said.
But he didn't lie to them. He quickly arranged for people to spread the news according to their address.
In the following days, more and more people came to the territory.
In the end, it was counted that there were almost three thousand people in total!
Richard was very happy about this.
In this way, the number of people in his territory finally reached ten thousand!
These three thousand new people are still selected according to the convention to select talents with special skills and let them play to their strengths.
The remaining salt mines will increase by one thousand people, and the iron mines will increase by two thousand people, which is just right.
In this way, the output of the territory will be unprecedentedly improved!
