Chapter 456

Jinshui City, Heibao, conference hall.

The vassal lords and high-ranking Knights of Renma Hill responded to the Duke of York and gathered here to discuss the resettlement of refugees.

"Victor's tenant system is a wonderful idea!"

Enbisser York slapped the oak table, his fat face full of excitement and admiration, and said excitedly, "the core idea of the tenant system is that the Lord makes the people rich, and the rich people make the family strong!"

The Lords looked at each other, and no one spoke. Their eyes wandered back and forth, and finally fell on the count of feldspar castle.

The great Knight tellandon, the uncle of the Duke of York, had to stand up and asked: "Sir, what does the people mean by being rich? I can support making the family members rich. But if it's a refugee... What does it matter whether the refugee is rich or not and the family is strong? In fact, even if the people are rich, it has no direct relationship with the Lord. The Lord can't deprive the people of their wealth without reason?"

"Uncle, please sit down." The Duke of York raised his hand and said with a smile, "isn't it difficult to understand? Hehe, Victor discussed with me one morning before he went to Raven town. I couldn't understand his point of view at that time. Why should low-level refugees share our land and wealth? We're not the masters of refugees!"

Everyone whispered and nodded yes. Mrs. ulena smiled and said, "as long as it is Victor's policy proposal, whether we understand his intention or not is debatable."

The Council hall was suddenly quiet. Count tellandon glanced at the countess with appreciation. He didn't want to stand against Victor on the issue of territorial governance. However, as Uncle nbiser, family members always regarded him as an adviser to check and balance the Duke's power.

Nbiser said with a smile, "the countess is right. After two days of discussion with family scholars, I finally understood Victor's idea."

"At present, three walls to block the ant tide have been completed. According to the original agreement, Renma hill has the obligation to accept 400000 refugees from Gambis kingdom within 20 years. However, the Church believes that according to the actual situation of Renma hill, it is fully capable of receiving 1 million refugees. Prince William Regent sent a letter asking us to receive 60000 refugees from northern counties in batches before the wind season next year Refugees. The church shall be responsible for the specific matters concerning the migration of refugees. "

"Since we are now the descendants of Gambis, there is no reason to refuse the Royal request."

The Duke of York paused and continued, "I must remind you that the refugees in the northern counties are not loose refugees in the general sense. They have settled in the northern part of the Kingdom and have multiplied for hundreds of years. Compared with those refugee groups who have no fixed place, they have ability, insight, property, more unity and become a force."

"The biggest problem in front of us is how to master these outsiders?"

The refugees in the northern counties of Gambis are mainly refugees from the kingdom of dodo. They have lived in Gambis for hundreds of years, and the Lord suddenly asked them to give up their land and move to the remote human horse hills. They will inevitably harbor resentment. Moreover, if the neighbors of the kingdom of Gambis can drive them away once, they can drive them away a second time. This makes them more anxious about their future.

It would not be a big problem if the people and horses were to accept dozens or hundreds of people at a time. However, even if the church organized the migration of refugees in batches, it would often be thousands of people.

Thousands of refugees who share the same illness, have resentment and are at a loss are bound to watch and help each other on the way to migration. For priests responsible for migrant refugees, organized refugee groups are easier to cooperate with their work. However, for the Lords of Renma hill, thousands of refugee groups represent a major hidden danger.

The first group of refugees haven't been settled yet, but the next group comes again. The trouble is like a snowball, rolling bigger and bigger, and finally becomes out of control.

The high-ranking knights were silent, and the little lords looked even more worried. The Duke of York looked around and said confidently, "Victor believes that population is the most precious wealth for people and horses, and the higher the quality and ability of refugees, the better. The key lies in how to turn these people into our wealth. Victor's tenant system perfectly solves this problem."

"What do the refugees in the northern counties want most now? A stable life and no longer being driven out of their homes is actually a legal identity of their people."

Nbiser raised his hand, picked up the hide paper on the table and said: "This land lease document satisfies their desire. As long as they get this document, they will have the status of a tenant. The tenant is not a refugee. Their land lease document is signed and issued by the Lord and has legitimacy. The tenant is not a citizen. The land lease document is renewed every 25 years, and the tenant family can give priority to renewing the contract. If the tenant cannot pay the rent on time, he is lazy, stupid and violates the law According to the family law, the Lord has the right to terminate the lease. In addition, there is no difference between the tenant family and the collar family. They retain 30% of the harvest and four months of labor or militia training every year. When the refugees have the land lease document, they will regard their family as the collar. What can attract them more than this? "

"The best thing is that the land lease documents are only issued to monogamous refugee families. Refugee leaders generally have many women. They are doomed not to become tenants. Those single men without wives will only dig their corners. Therefore, the refugee Gang disintegrated. Our trouble will be solved naturally."

"Good!"

Count tellandon exclaimed: "only the children of the tenants are eligible to join the mercenary Corps. If the tenants want to renew the lease, they must work hard. Our leaders have more time to build armaments to meet the needs of the mercenary corps, which is conducive to the South expansion strategy. Victor's tenant system has turned the refugees into our wealth!"

Since it was Victor's proposal, the tenant system must have been appreciated by Sylvia. Count tellandon, after being cleaned up by Sylvia (opposing the joint-stock chamber of Commerce and taking away his young son), was really unwilling to play the role of Duke's adviser. Sylvia brought back a little Auguste from kite castle, and the Earls of tellandon wanted to take the child as their own. Anyway, Edward and Anna will give back their children to Fred and odel. The task of checking and balancing the Duke's power should be handed over to the parents of the future queen.

Besides, Victor's tenant system is really amazing.

No matter how good the policy is, as long as the Duke implements it to the vassal Lord, someone must stand up and question it. This is a stable system for large families. The eyes of the crowd focused on Viscount Fred. Fred stood up helplessly and said, "the tenant system satisfies the refugees, the people and the church, but it damages the interests of the Lord. In order to settle the refugees, we have lost 30% of our harvest for no reason, and every year. Of course, I can afford it, but what about the new lords of the family? They are especially short of money..."

Several newly canonized vassal barons nodded frequently, but heard Fred say, "the tenants get 30% of the harvest. It's too much... Just give them 10% and a half." Seeing that the barons turned black, Fred said, "if we help the Lords of the Kingdom settle the refugees, they should pay us. I suggest that the family take out funds to subsidize the new lords."

Enbiser suddenly stood up, tried to open his eyes, stared at his brother and asked loudly, "subsidy? Do you want it, or do I want it? Do you want it, or do I want it?"

Fred shrugged his shoulders, spread out his hands, sat down again, put on an innocent expression, as if to say: you all see, I don't have no objection, but the Duke doesn't agree to subsidize everyone.

Several eyes were fixed on enbiser's fat face. He shook his cheeks and said bitterly, "you are so shallow... What did Victor say? The people are rich and the family is strong. An appropriate population is the most precious wealth... Why do you separate tenants from your own wealth? Why can't you treat tenants as your own wealth?"

Bruce, the great knight, said: "Sir, I believe in Victor's talent and vision, but I don't know yet. The relationship between people's wealth and family strength is strong. We used to think that family is rich and strong... Please explain to us what is people's wealth and family strength?"

Nbiser patted his fat belly, and the attendant immediately presented a cup of fresh goat milk and napkin with honey. Nbiser raised his glass, drank the goat's milk, wiped the corners of his mouth with a napkin and said slowly: "Poor refugees have no fixed residence, lack of food and clothing, and their children are underdeveloped and weak. Rich tenants live and work in peace and contentment, and have no worries about food and clothing. Their children are naturally stronger and smarter than refugee children. A thin migrant worker can plant 15 mu of land, and a strong tenant farmer can plant 30 mu of land. Eight thin and weak tenants can plant 120 mu of land, eight strong tenant farmers and four people can plant 120 mu of land The other four can work, learn crafts, or be mercenaries. Therefore, the poorer the weaker, the richer the stronger. "

"Should we accept poor and weak migrant workers or cultivate rich and strong tenants?"

"Tenants' children aged 4 to 8 can live in general education schools for free. This age group is related to their future growth and development. While instilling loyalty and bravery into them, we let them exercise their body, temper their will, practice the first secret of wolf war skills, and cultivate qualified soldiers for the mercenary Corps in advance."

"Tenant farmers' parents see the hope of the family in their children. Of course, they are willing to take out their savings and send their children to military schools and craftsman schools. When their children grow up, we get elite mercenaries, skilled craftsmen and strong farmers. Is the family stronger?"

This argument ignited the enthusiasm of the vassal lords, and everyone whispered and talked one after another.

"I see... The people are rich and the family is strong."

"It's worthy of your highness Sylvia's choice... Viscount Randall's talent makes me speechless."

"I think Viscount Randall's intelligence can be comparable to that of the University of Arya..."

The Council hall was noisy. The Duke of York had to slap the table hard and raise the volume. "Calm down and wait until I finish talking."

When the people stopped talking, nbiser continued, "the wonderful part of the tenant system is not only the cultivation of soldiers and craftsmen. It is a political plan tailored by Victor for the horse hills. Other families can't follow the tenant system."

"In the past, a village of the York family controlled a territory with a radius of 20 kilometers and could feed 3000 to 10000 people. The Lord should ensure the livelihood of the people. Therefore, the more the population of the village, the less sacrifices handed over to the Lord. However, in the man horse hills, 300 square kilometers of land can support 10000 to 20000 people, or even more. At present, the man horse hills are not short of land, but soldiers Farmers, miners and craftsmen. If there are enough tenants in the man horse hill, our neighbors can take the tenants to open up wasteland and build new villages. In this way, the total wealth of the Lord will increase. "

"On the other hand, although the tenants are attached to the village, they are distributed by us. The tenants and the villagers belong to two different groups. The tenant's small family has no ability to resist the village office, and they are destined to rely on the Lord. The tenants are equivalent to the ears and eyes of the Lord, and supervise and restrict each other with the village. The influence of the Lord will further expand, at least the village head can't hide it The total revenue of the territory. "

Then the Duke of York shook his head and said with a smile: "In the past, the natural resources of the territory were limited, and the villagers collected the resources of the territory. Let's just turn a blind eye... Now, half of the hills are terraces, and the harvest of the territory is not a small amount. Otherwise, why should the church change the collection method of the eleventh tax? We can't set up a tax official in every village like the Regent?"

The vassal lords couldn't help laughing. A thorny problem was solved in this way.

The Duke of York knocked on the table with his fat white fingers and continued: "As for the harvest distributed to the tenants, you don't have to care. The tenants are not refugees. They can't move freely, otherwise they will lose the right to rent land. The Lord makes rules and the people abide by the rules. We have too many ways to master the harvest of the tenants. For example, monopolizing the trading channels and controlling prices... We should follow a principle that the people's harvest and goods can only be sold to the Lord, The Lord's goods can only be sold to the double headed lizard chamber of Commerce. "

The high-level Knight lords who own the shares of the double headed lizard look the same, but the small lords who have no shares are somewhat unnatural. But they can't resist the will of the family. The double headed lizard has mastered many resources and has actually monopolized the foreign trade of the human horse hill.

Duke of York has a headache. When Victor proposed the joint-stock chamber of Commerce, he had already set up a situation beyond his imagination. Victor and Sylvia are preparing to connect the double headed lizard with the gold regiment, which also involves the secret of the gold recovery potion. These things cannot be disclosed to all vassal lords for the time being, but as Duke of York family, enbiser has the responsibility to appease the family The mood of the clan members, after a moment of meditation, he said:

"I guarantee that the double headed lizard will give the most reasonable price whether purchasing materials or selling goods. At the same time, the double headed lizard chamber of Commerce will provide low interest loans to family members without shares, with a loan amount equivalent to three times the annual income of the territory. The loan is borrowed every three years, and the repayment period will not exceed five years."

The new Lord's face suddenly looked much better. Nbiser nodded and asked, "who has any objection to the family's implementation of the tenant system?"

The people shook their heads and agreed to implement the tenant system. Nbiser said, "now go back and send family scholars to work out the specific details of the tenant system, and then I will provide the implementation method to bishop Perot and ask him to cooperate with us to assign tenants."

The Lords rose to salute the Duke of York and left the Council hall one by one.

Enbiser sat alone for a while, shook his head and said to the clerk Max: "look, water conservancy projects, green brick Trade, double headed lizard chamber of Commerce, mercenaries, gold regiment, tenant system... As long as victor's proposal can always pass smoothly. I just asked the Lord to purchase and purchase, but few supported me..."

Max stepped forward, bowed and said: "Viscount Randall is brilliant, but everyone supports his proposal mainly because of his transcendent status. If he is in your position, he will still be questioned and resisted by your adults. However, all the administrative measures of viscount Randall are particularly beneficial to you... The influence of Heibao has unconsciously covered every corner of the family."

"Max, you're right." Nbiser got up from his seat with difficulty, smiled, patted the clerk on the shoulder and said, "Victor is for Mrs. Sylvia... Mrs. is the patron of black castle."

"Send someone to inform Rose Manor of the results of the meeting."

*********************

Rose Manor, crystal flower house.

Sylvia took the minutes of the black castle meeting from the old housekeeper. When the old housekeeper left the flower house, she turned and smiled at trisley: "honey, guess what the result of the discussion is?"

"The tenant system was put forward by Victor. What else to guess? It must have passed..." trisley said lazily, sitting on the round rattan chairs, holding her chin.

Sylvia invited Tingting to trisley's side, sat down and said, "so confident in Victor? Is it love that makes my guardian Knight lose his thinking ability... Let me see if it's getting bigger?"

Trisley patted Sylvia's slender hand out to her chest and said angrily, "what are you doing?"

"It's not that I haven't touched it. Now I have a lover and forget me. It's really sad." Sylvia pursed her red lips and looked sad and wronged, and then couldn't help giggling.

Trisley blushed, bit her pink lips and turned her head unnaturally aside. Sylvia gathered her shawl and hair and said with a smile, "you only see the amazing side of victor. In fact, he is also stupid and cute."

Trisley turned her head, looked into Sylvia's blue eyes and asked in surprise, "you mean Victor's bear group? But I think the bear group is very valuable."

Sylvia stretched out her slender index finger and touched trisley's forehead, "So I say that you are dazzled by love and want to protect your sweetheart everywhere... Sophia doesn't think so. She will use the bear group first and then abandon the bear group, otherwise her career will not succeed. Victor didn't think clearly when he set up the golden group... No powerful Lord can master such a huge potential business organization. As long as he is me If you are a man, you don't want to dominate the gold regiment, let alone have the bear regiment armed. "

"Once the relationship between the bear group and Victor is exposed, it will be hanged by the Lord."

Trisley suddenly remembered that after the high-ranking Knights of the deweimick family confirmed her identity, their faces became particularly ugly. The bear group could take her to the deweimick's collar and cooperate with Sylvia to attack any lord. Even the Golden Knight was difficult to ensure his safety.

Such a bear group is really terrible!

No one can tolerate Sylvia putting her tentacles into her territory. The bear regiment will never die, and no Lord will cooperate with the gold regiment.

"I see. Sophia is the only person suitable to run the gold league. We just need to pay dividends according to the shares." Sylvia shook her head and sighed, "fortunately, that guy gave the golden regiment to Sophia, otherwise the golden regiment would bring him and me great trouble... More trouble than he shot Austin Buryat."

Trisley thought for a moment, her eyes brightened, and asked blandly, "so, how's the relationship between Sophia and Victor?"

"Well, the stronger the golden group is, the colder their relationship will be... Unless Sophia is promoted to the golden level or victor becomes a sun elf, they will be as close as glue."

Trisley's secretly raised lips immediately flattened down, and her light blue eyes darkened. Sylvia puffed a smile, held trisley's shoulder and said, "are you exposed? Nicole's jealousy is all learned from you."

Trisley glanced at Sylvia, curled her mouth, raised her chin again, and whispered, "I don't know, where is that guy now?"

Sylvia Yingying got up and said solemnly, "Guardian Knight trisley, I command you to take my love back to Rose Manor."

Trisley raised her train falsely and bowed her knees. Her beautiful face showed a sweet smile.

"As you wish, my noble and beautiful master."
