Apocalyptic Dragonborn Lord

Chapter 106

Sperti's suggestion was unanimously approved by all the staff present, and Stannis hastened to formulate preferential policies to attract surrounding farmers to move into his territory.

First of all, of course, free land. This is the only resource that Stannis can supply unlimitedly at this stage. He stipulated that each family can be allocated 15 acres of land, and at the same time provide each family with an initial capital of ten gold coins and free farm tools. , There is also a house that can be used for two seasons of seeds.

Of course, this is not enough to make those farmers abandon the land they have cultivated for generations, so Stannis introduced another heavy condition, that is, three years of tax exemption.However, when formulating the policy, he secretly kept his mind in mind that the 10% rate for using the water mill is not within the scope of exemption.

After throwing out so many favorable conditions, Stannis felt that there would be a steady stream of farmers dragging their families into the territory early tomorrow morning.

With this in mind, the lord closed his eyes sweetly.

Stannis opened his eyes early in the morning, like a child looking forward to his birthday gift, he quickly dressed and ran outside the castle without even eating breakfast, he couldn't wait to see the people around the castle who shouted long live himself farmer.

He opened the door expectantly, only to see two country bumpkins squatting there to defecate. There is a custom in this remote area that defecating at the door of the highest-ranking person in the territory will bring a year of good fortune. Luckily, every morning when Stannis went out, he could smell the stench.

Seeing that the lord came out so early, those two pooping guys who were in high spirits didn't even wipe their buttocks, and quickly ran away with their pants up.

"Damn it! You bastards don't talk about personal hygiene. Is it because I have to chop off a few heads that you will be afraid!"

Stannis yelled angrily, and at the same time he felt that there were no more people in the territory.

What's happening here?He prayed silently last night. With such a genius plan, how can he increase the population by 100?
"Old man!" he yelled, in a high voice.

A barefoot figure appeared, and Bachelor Romon, who was still shaving just now, ran out in a hurry.

"What's the matter? What's the matter? Your Excellency."

Stannis pouted and fussed like a child, "Go and see what's going on! Why aren't there any migrating farmers!"

Bachelor Romon wiped his mouth and looked at him with helpless eyes, "Your Excellency, no matter how fast you are, those peasants can't all come here overnight as soon as they get the news. Even the news will take some time to spread."

But the wayward lord didn't care, he used his tried and tested move again, rolled on the ground, "I don't care! I don't care! You can count for me now, I don't believe that no one couldn't wait for the whole night yesterday Move into my territory!"

Bachelor Romon sighed. Although he was already old, he still had to obey the lord's order.

In the afternoon, he brought back the information Stannis needed.

"How? How?" Stannis asked anxiously.

Bachelor Romon opened his notebook and said seriously: "According to the census sent by the three villages below, there was not a single person added last night. On the contrary, there is a farmer who may feel that the tax is too heavy now, and they don't even want property with their families. , disappeared overnight."

"..." Stannis almost spat out a mouthful of blood, a huge sense of frustration crawled into his heart, he felt that his life was meaningless.

On the other hand, Robert comforted him and said, "Boss, don't you need to be so sad. In just one night, those farmers don't say they have received the good news, but they have to prepare well even if they think about it?"

These words made Stannis a little relieved, it seemed that he had not failed to penetrate the surface.After thinking about it, he felt that there was still a problem with the propaganda, which caused many people to not know about his preferential policies, so he called the merchant Albert and asked him to notify the merchants who were doing business in his territory. Since then, every time he goes to a village of other lords, he must vigorously promote his policies.

Albert didn't care. He also hoped that the more people in Stannis' territory the better, so that he could buy and sell more goods.

So soon, Stannis' propaganda machine started to spread his preferential policy throughout the East Mirror of the Tanis Kingdom.

But even so, Qiweini's population growth curve did not soar as Stannis expected. For three consecutive days, only a few farmers moved in every day, and two of them felt that the living conditions here were too bad and moved back directly.

Stannis, who was already in despair, spent every day in the 'Chen's Entertainment Club', using 'bubble wine' to relieve his sorrows. His tragic appearance made those prostitutes feel sympathetic.

"Don't drink, Stan." Hypatia snatched the wine glass in his hand and signaled the bartender Korodov not to pour him any more wine.

Stannis raised his head, and there was a sense of lovelessness in his decadent eyes. He grabbed Hypatia's snow-like wrist and refused to let go, and said vaguely, "Say, I'm like this all day What is the purpose of devoting so much effort to the development of my territory? Could it be for me!"

"This..." Hypatia is just a beautiful prostitute, and these things are never something she should consider.

But the lord gave the answer, "Of course it's for me! It's not for me. Who would spend all day trying to build this shitty place and get you here? I've done so many books. I thought I would stride forward towards my dream, but it!"

"Stan," Hypatia took his hand with both hands, "I'm a courtesan, and I don't know how to tell the truth, but I only know that as long as I work hard, it will definitely pay off."

"Return? Ha!" Stannis sneered, he let go of his hand and greeted Korodoff drunkenly, "Barman, mix me a glass of wine, I want to see if your skills have improved, what? No Yes! Hell, just get me alcohol and water!"

Suddenly, the door of the clubhouse was knocked open, and Robert's panicked expression appeared from outside the door.

"Boss, I've been looking for you for a long time, I didn't expect you to hide here and drink flower wine!"

Stannis waved his hand impatiently, and he almost fell to the ground due to his body disorder, "Don't bother me! I don't want to take care of things in the territory anymore! Those gangsters don't even want to come, they really don't want me Does the dignified Earl Stannis Justin look at him!"

Seeing that he was drunk, Robert quickly patted his face with his hands, "Boss, this is why I came to you! People, they are all civilians. Two or three hundred people have entered our territory!"
