Pirates: The strongest Shadow Legion

Sea calendar, July 1500.

Five days have passed since the abomination was created.

Wales, who received the order, quickly selected seven reliable candidates, and Feng Xiu, whose names were too lazy to remember, only needed to know that the other party’s family was under the control of Esders.

These seven people took over the seven manors to which Estes belonged and became the new owners of the manor! The seven estates mainly grow grain and grapes for brewing wine, and are an important source of raw materials for the largest wine industry in the Esders Chamber of Commerce, although it is not as large as the Esdes Chamber of Commerce, but it is still an important industry of the Estes family!

In the process of taking over, there will naturally be some surprises.

For example, the family members of the original owner of the manor, or the villagers who lived on the manor, were doubtful and even resistant to whether Feng Xiu, the new head of Esders, could manage the manor well! The seven manor masters in front had even managed the manor for thirty years, and they were even more popular than Feng Xiu as the master!

But it doesn’t matter, the pirate world is not a world where those who win the hearts of the people win the world! Feng Xiu also did not believe in that, and those who interfered with the normal operation of the manor were suppressed by abomination! If you don’t want to continue working for the manor, you will be fired, slaves are actually much better than villagers! At the kingdom level, Feng Xiu is a great nobleman again! A group of mud legs simply did not have the ability to fight against the nobles.

This is the absolute domination that comes with absolute power! Faced with the livelihood of his own family, who would want to continue to fight against Feng Xiu for the sake of a group of dead people who had lost their power? This world is such a reality, even if the previous manor owners are not good to them, but they are already dead!

Dead people are worthless! And they, however, will continue to live! If you want to survive, you need food, you need Berry!

So you can only give in.

But Feng Xiu didn’t simply let go of this group of Diao people who ate inside and outside, and the reason why the serfs dared to confront the master was because the previous master was too good for these serfs! They did not feel the majesty of the Estes family as nobles! That’s why you dare to make trouble!

When the Draco are majestic, everyone is humble.

But if the Draco is too gentle, it will usher in people’s anger!

Bullying the soft and fearing the hard is the origin of human nature, of course Feng Xiu will not be the soft one!

The previous owner of the Esders family was too benevolent, he hired villagers to work for his estate, appointed local villagers as the owners of the estate, and gave serfs extremely generous salaries and treatment, according to records, a person who worked for the Esders Manor could receive a high salary of up to 600,000 berry per year!

What is this concept? Although Berry’s purchasing power is only one-tenth of the renminbi on earth, don’t forget that this is a feudal era! Prices and wages and consumption are equally low, and 600,000 beri is enough for a family of five to eat meat and live without food and clothing for a year! And in general, there are at least two or four laborers in a family of five, and even if they are serfs working for the Estes Chamber of Commerce, with such a high salary, life is enough to be called rich!

It is a pity that they did not feel the compassion of the Estes family, but stupidly wrote the kindness on the head of the manor owner! With the salary of the Esdes family, he also disrespects Esders.

Feng Xiu was not in the mood to explain something in a low voice, since he couldn’t remember Esders’s kindness, let them be sober and sober, and figure out for themselves what they lived on.

The salary was cut to 400,000 beri per year in one go!

Feng Xiu would no longer pay taxes for these villages under the name of Esders!

This is the most terrifying, in order to be able to pay the heavenly gold in full every year, the tax of the Kingdom of France on the internal citizens is as high as 20%~55% depending on the occupation!

For profiteering industries such as selling tobacco and alcohol, the tax is more than 50%.

Although farmers are only a basic tax, the tax rate is still as high as 25%.

The title of nobility can be exempted by 20%, and Feng Xiu, as a count, can be exempted by 30%.

Therefore, in the past, they were attached to the name of the Estes family and did not need to pay taxes.

So much so that they even forget what they rely on to live so richly and securely.

Of course, even so, they are much better off than others.

Even if Feng Xiu cut off half of their income in one go! Feng Xiu also dared to say that he was the most conscientious nobleman in the kingdom, you must know that the other French nobles simply wanted to peel off the skins of the people, and they called ‘pariahs’ not only to show their status, but they really used commoners as untouchables.

What is ironic is that the villagers, who had previously expressed great dissatisfaction with Feng Xiu’s dispatch to take over the manor, did not even dare to fart this time.

There is no one who picks up in anger, everyone is an adult, it is cool to be ruthless, but what is an old snack? What to drink? Northwest wind?

When a pirate? That was the most helpless way out, although Feng Xiu cut off their income, but even so, as long as the family worked hard, they could still live well.

Pirates sound majestic, but ordinary people dare to be pirates, I am afraid that the corpses will be cold in a few days.
