"Look, everyone, the new territory law I said before has come out!"

"Actually, it should have come out a long time ago, His Royal Highness the Prince served as the lord for more than four months, more than two months later than when the Earl of Winton was there. ”

"Why did you post so much? How much tax do you have to pay?"

"Is there anyone who can read and write to read it to everyone?"

As soon as the new law was posted, a large number of people gradually gathered at the city gate and the central square, and I am afraid that in the next few days, there will be a steady stream of people coming to watch.

A knight walked through the crowd, and the civilians next to him all avoided to either side to make way for the knight.

The knight was blonde and handsome, and his iron armor shone in the sunlight, so imposing, and the emblem of the wolf's head and iron shield engraved on the breastplate revealed his identity.

It was the Oscar Knight who was sent by Murphy to interpret the new law.

He made his way through the crowd and climbed onto a makeshift platform under the city walls, placing the knight's helmet in his arms on the table.

"Ladies and gentlemen of His Royal Highness the Prince, I am a knight loyal to His Royal Highness, Baron Bray Oscar, and I will read out to you the new city law of His Royal Highness!"

His voice spread through the fighting spirit and reached the ears of every leader.

"The first law, the basic law of the territory!Chapter 1, General Provisions!Article 1, the lords of Fort Vanremlos must recognize the lord Murphy Sellers as the lord, will be loyal to the lord for life, accept the protection of the lord, and shall not resist any actions of the lord, and the lord Murphy Sellers will swear to guarantee the safety of the lord, and the property ......"

"Second Law, Criminal Law! Chapter I, Tasks, Basic Principles, and Scope of Application of Criminal Law! Article 1, Legislative Purpose! In order to punish crimes and protect the safety of the people, this Law is hereby formulated in accordance with the Basic Law of the City and in light of the specific experience and actual situation of the struggle against crime in the territory......

"The Third Law, Civil Law ......"

"The Fourth Law, Property Law......"

"The Fifth Law, Compulsory Education Law......"

"The Sixth Law, Agricultural Law ......"

Oscar Knight read it with a dry mouth, and after drinking two sips of water from time to time, he continued to read.

More and more people came to listen to the new law, and many of them came from the farms outside the city to buy crop seeds, after all, spring plowing was about to begin, and they had to hurry into the city to buy seeds.

I happened to hear that the new law was being read out on the city wall, so I hurriedly ran over to see if I had to pay a new tax, and I was afraid that I wouldn't know if I was caught if I committed any law in the future.

When they heard the knight master on the stage talk about farming, the eyes of these peasants were full of horror, and a wave of excitement rose from the bottom of their hearts, from their spines to the back of their heads, so excited that even the straw fork they brought for self-defense almost fell to the ground.

Listening to this, not only are weed taxes and pest taxes exempted, but the lord also leaves us grain?

In the past, the peasants were cultivated on the lord's land, and the grain harvested should also be handed over to the lord, and if they could leave one percent for themselves to live, they could have a good New Year, in case of a disaster, the lord would have to collect a large amount of taxes, and there was a way to live as serfs, and these freemen themselves would definitely starve to death, so they could only sell themselves to become serfs.

But this time, the law stipulates that only 50% of the grain grown needs to be paid to the city hall, and the city hall will buy another 30% at the market price.

As for the tax collector from the farm lord to the town hall, the peasants don't care about it, the town hall can make our lives better, why listen to the nobles?

It is no wonder that Arthas secretly exclaimed when he saw this reform law at the beginning, which directly caused the lords of various farms to lose the support of the people and become rootless.

The reading of the new law was read from morning to evening, but the two knights who were sent to read it, Oscar and Ilya, were exhausted, and there was no way, who made too few literate people in the territory, so they could only let these knights go to the emergency scene.

And as compensation, he arranged for two knights to come to the castle for dinner in the evening, after all, he had also made a report in his previous life, and reading the law was even more tiring than making a report.

"Ilya, how many times did you drink water in the middle of the reading?"

At dinner in the evening, Oscar ate the braised chicken thighs in the rice bowl and asked Ilya across the table boredly.

"Eleven times or twelve? I don't remember exactly, I'm so tired and my mouth is dry, I'd rather go into battle and kill the enemy and kill fifteen transcendents of the same level than read it again." Ilya shook her head, took a bite of the tender braised chicken thigh, and took a big bite of rice.

"Hehe, I'm less than you, I've drunk water nine times, but it's true, it's okay that tomorrow's reading will be the turn of Forrest and Eberg, and some of them suffer. The Oscar Knight laughed gloatingly twice, and ate deliciously.

Just when the two knights went to eat at the lord's castle, the outside world, mainly the traditional nobles in the territory, became nervous.

These people have been made viscounts and barons since the time of the Earl of Winton, and many of them have fled when the Thebes were in Koubian, and the nobles who remained are weak, but they are also a force to be reckoned with, and even now the city guard Bruno is one of them

It's just that during the second time Koubian, none of these people except Bruno participated in the war, and all of them transferred their property to Crescent City, leaving only these empty farms and the peasants in their own territory.

At this moment, these nobles were gathering in the manor of a farm in the south of the city, and the atmosphere of the whole village was extremely solemn.

More than a dozen nobles sat around the table, none of them spoke, and the heavy atmosphere seemed to condense into a boulder in the air, overwhelming the attendants around them.

"I think it's irrational for the prince to declare war on the entire aristocratic system. ”

The current owner of this Zhuangzi, Viscount Kuber, was the first to speak and break the silence in the room.

"That's right, especially this farming method, it is simply killing me, without the field, what can we do for a living? So we must unite and let His Highness see our will and role!"

"I think that the military service law has really dug out our roots, without military power, even if we are extraordinary, we can't make any big waves. ”

"Actually, I think we can try to follow the new rules set by the fourth prince, maybe there will be greater benefits. ”

"I think so. ”

"Oh, what benefit did the fourth prince give you, so that you forgot who you were so quickly?"

"You are nobles! His fourth prince is targeting nobles! He wants to weaken our power, but you want to send it yourself?"

"What about the aristocracy? What's the use of me keeping that land? Not only is the harvest bad, but I have to pay for the seedlings and the cultivation of farmers, and I will lose money anyway, so it is better to sell it and use the money to do something else. ”

Viscount Cooper's words were like a spark, igniting a cart of dry wood, and the nobles sitting around the table all argued.

The topic of contention revolved around two points, one was to follow the will of the four princes, hand over the land and soldiers, save themselves, and keep the new rules, and the other was to resolutely retain their fiefdoms and force the four princes to abide by the rules of the nobility.

The two gangs quarreled endlessly, causing a headache for Viscount Kuber, he thought that the nobles would be twisted into a rope, but he didn't expect that there were several people who supported the fourth prince.

"Okay, that's the end of today's discussion, let's discuss it another day. "Viscount Cooper issued an eviction order, stopping the vague signs of escalating into a major war.

The people of the two factions stared, the quarrel just now had already become angry, and neither of them obeyed each other, and they got into their own carriages and headed towards their own territory and manor.
