our family is gone

Chapter 32 Three Things

"This matter has nothing to do with her, it was all done by me, please let the lord let my daughter go."

"Hand over everything, and I'll let your daughter go."

Lance didn't intend to bargain with him, and the musket that was raised high had already lifted the hammer.

"I'll pay."

The farmer couldn't bear the pressure and agreed directly, and Lance put down his musket, and he still didn't forget to complain.

"Wouldn't it be better to do this earlier? I must do it~ Do you still think you can escape?"

"David kept me because he didn't find my money."

The farmer also calmed down at this time, and in one sentence explained why David didn't kill him.

Speaking of this, he seemed to see his future clearly as if he had accepted his fate.

"I also hope that the lord will keep his promise."

"As long as she doesn't make trouble, I won't touch her." Lance glanced at the scared woman with a calm expression.

After getting Lance's guarantee, the farmer took them to find the hidden money and some valuables.

What surprised Lance was that most of the silver coins in the town flowed into his hands.

Although there were only two boxes, the money inside was mixed with more silver coins, and there was even an exquisite small box with more than 50 gold coins in it, as well as a large stack of land deeds and deeds of sale.

"That's all?" Lance grabbed the gold coin, feeling the heavy feeling but still not satisfied.

"That's my family business for three generations~ they're all here."

The farmer’s expression was a little numb when he talked about this, but now he thinks that if he hadn’t accepted David back then, if he had been more honest, would it have been possible for him not to have ended up where he is today...

Lance doesn't care what he thinks, he just focuses on the food on the farm. No matter what the farmer does, he will find a way to take it here, but the way is different.

He cannot tolerate food security being held in the hands of others. He has seen too many tragedies in this regard from ancient times to the present, and his sense of crisis is full.

…………

Not counting the road, the real time to capture the farm was actually an hour, but after the investigation and statistics and other messy things, it directly prolongs the time.

In the final analysis, there is still no one under him to use.

Disma and the others can kill people, but it's hard to say about governance. Lance has to personally do all these things.

Still, he found a couple of people who could be used.

"Mr. Water, I will leave the farm to you."

"Thank you Lord Lord for your kindness. I will definitely manage the farm according to your requirements."

Let’s not talk about how sincere Walter said this, anyway, he definitely dare not refuse.

Because the blood and brains in front of the door have not been cleaned up~
But it does feel very magical. I was planning to run away in the morning~ Why did I become a farm management inexplicably at night?

At this time, the team leader ran in and reported to Lance.

"My lord, everyone on the farm has gathered."

"You came just in time." Lance called the team leader and gave a warning.

"In the future, you will assist Mr. Walter to follow his orders."

"Yes, yes, yes!" The team leader agreed, without any objection because Walter stood above his head.

The indomitable David died, and even the farmer's family became serfs. Instead, he regained his position, which can only be said to have won.

As for this small problem, he was familiar with the road, and quickly assured Lance that the task would be completed.

Lance doesn't care if these two people really work for him, he just needs someone to help him maintain the order of the farm and ensure the output of resources, and the rest will be dealt with slowly after he finishes the more important things at hand .

…………

The sun was setting in the west, and the day had not yet darkened. In the past, the serfs on the farm were still working, but now these people are all gathered in the open space in front of the manor.

They may have heard some news, they may have seen the inspecting Lance, or they may have seen the battle that took place.

But more talk was put on the guards who were bound and chained.

The guards who participated in the battle and survived were afraid and lost for their future. They were defeated and surrendered without even knowing what happened.

At this moment, Lance and the others came out of the house.

Standing on the watchtower, the halo of light emitting from the back against the backdrop of the setting sun is extraordinarily sacred.

"I am the new lord of the territory—Lance Hamlet."

This sentence aroused the discussion of the serfs, but it was not the first time he had spoken in front of so many people, so he naturally would not care about the interference, and continued to talk about the crimes of the farmer, putting all the blame on him, and Set up the banner of "justice" for yourself.

When the banner was waved, those serfs who had been squeezed by the farmer or David for a long time finally broke out.

But most of them still tend to be conservative and don't clamor for killing people.

Because they still have a bite to eat, they are different from those hungry and crazy people in the town.

Lance hated long speeches. He knew what these serfs needed most, so he issued a verdict immediately.

"I came here to do three things. First, the farmer and the guards who participated in the rebellion were all demoted into slaves."

After he finished speaking, the farmer and his daughter were pushed out together with the guards.

"Woohoo!" The crowd was ecstatic, and seeing the farmer's misfortune seemed to have forgotten the suffering he had suffered.

As for the guards, they were relieved. Many of them were promoted as serfs, and now they go back to be serfs.

But the farmer and his daughter are miserable. Although these two people are not rich and well-off, it can be seen from the weight of more than 200 that they have not done any work.

"Second, the standard of food for all serfs has been raised, and there is a two-hour meal break at noon."

"Third, good performance will receive bonuses, and the outstanding ones will be pardoned by the lord to forgive their debts and become free citizens again."

"Long live the lord!"

The two conditions raised by Lance one after another aroused the cheers of the crowd, and only real interests can make them support them.

Anyway, these people only recognize Lance now, and the prestige accumulated by the farmer and David evaporates in a few words.

"Let's eat now!"

With a big wave of Lance's hand, the food that had been prepared a long time ago was pushed up.

Amidst the cheers of the serfs, Lance stepped back and took his team to the dining room for dinner.

The farm resources are very good, because so many resources are all supplied to the farmer's family, and there are plenty of white bread, which is rare in the town.

He didn't eat much meat for two days after he came in, and taking down the farm was worth celebrating. At this time, Lance was extravagant, cooking all the meat he found in the kitchen, and even asked the servant to kill a chicken.
