our family is gone

Chapter 37 New Deal
Soon the scene was under control, and looking around, the entire square was full of people lying on the ground, densely packed like weeds.

"Okay~ok~ok~" Lance nodded slowly watching this scene, and walked in front of those people step by step, but at this moment, the voice in his mouth suddenly raised his voice, and he yelled out in a way that was almost a roar.

"I feel your difficulties and have only released food for three days. Is this how you are repaying me now?"

"Did I treat you too well? Make you feel that I am a lord who is easy to bully? Do you have to beat me with a whip to be obedient?"

"Hey~ tell me!"

"is not it?"

No one dared to respond to these self-questioning words, and only Lance's voice echoed in the square.

The roar with endless anger made those lying on the ground fall into the fear of being dominated.

"Who was the first to stand up?"

Lance's falcon-like eyes swept over those people, and some of them began to subconsciously dodge their eyes and shrink their bodies, but they obviously didn't dare to stand up. They firmly believed that it would be difficult for Lance to find himself among so many people.

But Lance seemed to know the details and caught all these guys who wanted to make trouble.

Soon, more than 30 of these people who took the lead in trouble were found out, tied up and knelt down in a row under the statue in the middle of the square.

Looking at the rotten and shriveled head of the mayor hanging on the statue at this time, those people were filled with fear and began to cry and beg for mercy.

Is it too late to know just now?
"These people will be deprived of their rights as free citizens, and will be reduced to serfs and sent to the farm to make atonement for their sins."

Those troublemakers were actually relieved when they heard this.

In fact, they themselves know very well that they will be executed for this kind of behavior at any time. It is already very good to just become a serf now.

To be honest, this punishment is more like a reward to these townspeople. After all, this is an iron rice bowl. Although there is no money, at least there is no need to worry about starving to death.

After all, before some of them wanted to sell themselves and become serfs, no one wanted to~
I should have known that I should have...

But what Lance said next directly dispelled their thoughts.

"The bandit invasion destroyed everyone's originally stable life. As the lord, I have the responsibility to lead everyone to revive Hamlet. Therefore, I will introduce several policies to help everyone tide over the difficulties. There will be bread and milk."

Following the long speech that followed, the plan that Lance had prepared for a long time was brought out.

First of all, it is natural to bring down the price of food, because most of the food in the town is in his own hands, so Lance can ignore all obstacles, and directly bring the price back to before the bandits came, the kind of black bread for a pound Gone are the days of copper coins.

It's a pity that the public didn't have much reaction to this, because no matter how much it sells for, they can't afford it, and they have no money at all.

Then Lance announced the second policy, the first phase of urban construction.

This project has spawned many jobs. Apart from some highly specialized jobs, it also recruits a large number of casual workers who only need to work hard. The salary includes a meal in the morning, and the salary is settled on a daily basis.

This is what makes the townspeople feel the hope of life. As long as they work, they can live. This is their lowest hope, but this was difficult to achieve in the past.

Lance did not stop, but continued to take advantage of the enthusiasm of the townspeople to promulgate new laws.

For the crimes of stealing, fighting and killing, once discovered, they will directly strike out.

Another thing is to regulate their behavior from their daily life, such as prohibiting the indiscriminate discharge of excrement, and it must be managed uniformly and composted.

Anyone who violates the law will be severely punished, and if they refuse to mend their ways, they will be sent to the farm for labor reform.

To sum it up, there are three things.

First, stabilize food prices so that people can afford them.

Second, create a large number of jobs, so that these people can earn money and have things to do, as long as they work, they can survive.

Third, combat crime and standardize the system.

Behind these seemingly flimsy words are Lance's control over Hamlet's food, as well as a strong financial flow. Without these, it would be nonsense for him to say more.

After these measures, those townspeople are no longer lifeless. To be honest, no one wants to live such a life, but they are forced to help them. They can't even guarantee their survival. Talking about other things is just hypocrisy.

And now that the lord gives them the hope of surviving, then they are no longer troublesome people, but the loyal subjects of the lord.

Lance was very satisfied with their reactions. He has no experience in governing others, so this is a costly social practice. Whether he becomes a wise lord or a waste heir depends on this.

But the situation wasn't over yet, and Lance went on to make another big announcement.

conscription!

"In order to protect Hamlet, I will form a new army. As long as you join, you can eat three meals a day. In addition to bread, you can also eat meat and milk.

If you successfully pass the training, each soldier will have a salary, family members will have preferential tax rates, and jobs issued by the lord will be given priority.

If the death lord will issue a generous pension, the children will be raised by the lord until they reach adulthood..."

The treatment that Lance preached succeeded in attracting everyone, it was a policy they had never heard of.

In the past, when the lords recruited soldiers, they were required to bring their own equipment and rations, let alone money.

Moreover, it can bring so many benefits to the family, and there is still a pension after death.

Just like the militiamen who were forced to invade by bandits before, they went to the battlefield after receiving a little training, and no one cared about them when they died.

And now that the lord actually offered such a big preferential policy, everyone was very eager and wanted to know more about it.

But in parallel with the discounts are strict requirements.

First of all, candidates must be between 25 and [-] years old and have no physical disabilities. Those who meet the requirements must also undergo an assessment and pass the preliminary entry.

And this is not over, or it has just begun. After the primary election, the elimination system is still followed, and they need to undergo rigorous training. If they perform too poorly, they will be eliminated.

Lance called Disma and Barristan and asked them to choose between them. One identified the street thugs hidden inside, while the other came from the army, knowing that those people were more suitable for the army.

It is not very difficult to choose fifty out of more than 800 people, which is equivalent to choosing one out of sixteen people, but it is a bit difficult if you want to pay attention to quality.

Because most of the men died at the hands of the bandits, and the rest were basically old and young and women, so the fifty people selected were basically children of fifteen or sixteen years old, and none of them were over twenty.

　Thank you [Father of Bing Qing Yu Jie Nurgle] ​​for your reward, you have a share of the credit for laying down the territory.

　　If you have a vote, cast it, and it's up to everyone to save the family.
