Rise of the Empire Total War

　　 On the second day after returning to Nuremberg, Richard set out to manage the thousands of new islanders.

Thanks to Magnus’ policy, the refugees were resettled in five places on the island on a village basis. At the same time, a person with higher prestige was selected as the village chief among the villagers. These five village chiefs not only had to deal with The conflicts between the villagers, while at the same time directing people to build village houses and negotiating with the envoys sent by Nuremberg, can be said to be a heavy responsibility.

　　 Richard's so-called start of management is to inform the five village chiefs to come to Nuremberg to attend the first meeting.

According to his idea, the role of the five villages is to expand the utilization rate of land resources on Kuban Island, and strive to plant crops on every piece of fertile land on the island. Fishermen can be seen going out to hunt at any time on the offshore surface, and the warehouses are filled. food.

　　 If you rely on the citizens of Nuremberg, don't think about this kind of thing, because it is impossible. It is impossible for the citizens to give up a more comfortable life in the city and go to the wild, pick up farm tools and start production. They are more willing to consume with better living conditions and pay taxes for the lord.

And the refugees have no choice but to follow Richard’s ideas. They are different from the citizens of Nuremberg. The citizens of Nuremberg are out-and-out Germans and Richard’s most direct leaders, while the refugees are only half way. Accepted, if it goes against Richard's wishes, he will deal with it mercilessly.

　　 In addition, most of the refugees are farmers who fled from the countryside because of the war. They have become accustomed to production. Their obedience and hard work are destined to not violate Richard's wishes.

　　 But before that, he has to solve a problem.

　　 Finally, the heads of the five villages arrived in Nuremberg, and under the leadership of the heavy armored sergeants walked into the town hall to meet their young lord.

Richard’s youth was beyond everyone’s expectations. Before that, they only learned of the lord’s achievements from the officials who led them here. They naturally thought that Richard would be a burly and hideous war mad. Type nobility. But I didn't expect that this sight was actually a young Pian Pian who seemed to be underage at a young age.

　　 Perhaps seeing the surprise of the village chiefs, Richard just smiled and asked them to take a seat. At this time, the village chiefs woke up like a dream and sat cautiously on the chairs prepared for them.

　　 "My Lord, your youth is beyond our expectations."

In order to alleviate the embarrassment, a middle-aged man with a Mediterranean hairstyle said. Others agreed. Richard continued to keep a smile on his face and said, "It is precisely because I am so young that I need some of you to help me. Manage the new leaders on the island."

　　 "This is our duty and obligation, Lord Earl, please rest assured."

　　 "I'm relieved." Richard said, reaching out a finger to the person sitting on the far left, and said: "Before this, please let me know."

　　 The person pointed at by Richard was taken aback first, and quickly reacted, stood up, and said, "My name is Robbins, Lord Earl, and I come from Ma Fujia special leader..."

　　 "Earl, my name is Raman..."

　　 "Lord Earl..."

　　 After a round of introductions, Richard finally knew the names of everyone present. He looked around and then went straight to the topic.

"I'm calling you here this time. First of all, it is about the construction of the village." Richard said, looking at the five people across from him. "Because of the time, the houses in your villages have not been completed. Most of the houses have not been built. People still sleep in the wild, and I hope you can hurry up and let everyone live in a solid house before the temperature drops."

　　 As soon as he finished speaking, a person asked, "My Lord, I don’t know what kind of house you are talking about?"

　　 "As long as you don't worry about wind leakage in winter, you can build that kind of simple thatched cottage with ventilation everywhere." Richard replied jokingly.

　　 Then, he said: "Now that you have missed the right farming season, your top priority is to settle down. If you have time after the house is built, you can spontaneously build a road to Nuremberg to facilitate activities in the coming year."

"And next year, you will need to start farming. In the first year, I will not send someone to collect any taxes from you. You can just work hard. I will send someone to collect taxes from the second year. I hope you can pay by then. Give me a tax that is satisfactory."

　　 "Tax exemption for the first year?"

　　Richard's words are like bombshell brains of several people. They looked at the boy in front of them in surprise, and did not dare to believe the other party's words easily.

You should know ~www.readwn.com~ Tax exemption is basically impossible on the Valdasia Peninsula. Those nobles even wished to add a lot of miscellaneous taxes to their citizens to increase their treasury, so the farmers Having become accustomed to increasing taxes, this suddenly came to a tax exemption, how can they easily believe it.

In fact, tax exemption for new residents is also one of the results of Richard’s thinking. When the refugees first arrived here, they did not carry many valuable items themselves. It can be said that they are poor and have only one energy left-and Richard is exactly Prepare to use their physical strength, if it is tax-free for a year, they will devote themselves to their own interests and work in exchange for greater gains. After the harvest, they were destined to take the crops to Nuremberg in exchange for daily necessities. This transaction invisibly generated business taxes, and finally the money flowed into Richard's vault.

　　 There is another reason. Richard doesn't want to push them too tightly and let his people live a little more. This is what he wants to see.

　　……

Richard’s policy soon followed in the footsteps of the five village heads to the five refugee villages. Like the village heads, the villagers didn’t believe it at first, but after the village head’s explanation, they finally chose I believe that cheering with others is not only for the tax exemption policy, but also for the kind and generous Richard.

What Richard did not expect was that his decision inadvertently increased the enthusiasm of the new citizens. For the next period of time, the construction site was in full swing, and everyone was working hard for the sake of He seems to have a good future life.

　　 At this moment, a ship from the shining sea entered the port of Kuban. After a group of mysterious visitors disembarked, under the guidance of the heavily armed sergeants guarding the port, they proceeded along the road towards Nuremberg.
