Wang Xiaode ordered someone to call Old Jack and said, "Old Jack, how old are you this year?" ”

Old Jack felt strange, how could the lord ask such a strange thing, but out of respect for the lord and his own status, he immediately said: "Master, I am 66 years old this year"

Wang Xiaode said with emotion, "I've been here for more than a year, almost two years, and you were the first to follow me." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoI also see your abilities and merits, so I decided to go to the Earl's Court and apply for a piece of the knight's wasteland for you. ”

When Old Jack heard this, his heart was pounding, and after reacting, he quickly knelt down, kowtowed again and again, and said, "Thank you, master, my lord's great kindness, my Jack will never forget, and my future family will definitely follow the Ronald family forever." ”

Being able to own a knight's domain is the lifelong wish of a normal soldier, who is from a low background, and would not dare to imagine becoming a nobleman without the opportunity to rebel against the sky. So being able to own a knight's territory is their greatest wish, even if it is a wasteland, they are very happy. As long as this is not a dead land, and it can be cultivated and cultivated, even if there is no population, relying on the hard work of one's own family, it can be rich from generation to generation, of course, only like a very small village.

And Old Jack's own condition is also better, not to mention that this knight's domain is rewarded by the baron's lord, naturally it is impossible to be completely poor, even if there is really nothing, Old Jack's salary of more than a year of working here in the baron can also bring some development foundation to the territory. Besides, he is not going to build a knight's territory now, this territory can stay there for the first time and continue to do the work of the barony.

What's more, in addition to himself, his son will inevitably return to the knights' territory in the future, and his son Johnson will definitely bring some benefits to the territory. His son has an underground caravan in the barony, and the wealth in his hand is enough to develop the knight territory.

Wang Xiaode helped Old Jack up, and Wen Yan said, "Get up, Old Jack, when I first came here, I didn't have anything, it all depends on your help, without you as a guide, how can I be now." I've already paid for you, you won't have to pay the territory tax for 100 years, I'm giving you some spell scrolls that you can use to build simple houses, plus I'll give you 50 slaves, and some simple production materials. But one thing I want to make you clear, your knighthood must be under the orders of the barony. For example, the altar, the architectural style, the administrative regulations, if you can't agree, then the matter of the knight's domain will be stopped. ”

Old Jack didn't expect Wang Xiaode to give him so much, he only thought that he was exempting his own territory tax, after all, if he didn't exempt the territory tax, he couldn't afford it at all, and this was not a reward at all. But the latter said that the knights must obey the management of the barony, which made Old Jack a little unable to react, since ancient times, the territories of each lord are under the absolute control of their respective lords. There are only some basic rules, and there has never been such a strict management.

However, Old Jack also regarded this as an exchange for Wang Xiaode's additional reward, he received so many benefits from the baron, and it was nothing to obey some rules, after all, he was actually responsible for managing the territory, the wealth of survival was his own, and the soldiers recruited were also his own, and with soldiers, the territory still had the final say. As for the baron, even if the baron didn't say that he wanted to obey the management, it was the same, could it be that the baron came over to point fingers, and he could not resist. Besides, Old Jack thinks that the Baron must have his purpose in doing this, and as long as the purpose is achieved, he must not always be so strict, which noble lord has nothing to do with so many idle things.

Thinking of this, Old Jack said, "Everything I have is given by the master, and if the master has any orders in the future, Jack must do it desperately." ”

Wang Xiaode was still quite satisfied with Old Jack's attitude, and said with a slight smile, "Okay, in the future, your family will use Harris as the surname, you go back and take the paperwork and gold coins I opened to the Earl's Court to apply for a knight's collar, and Zhu Jiancheng will send someone to go with you, where to choose, and where to purchase production materials and slaves to do it there together." And you will have to be distracted from the affairs of your own territory in the future, although Zhu Jiancheng has been helping you more or less, but after all, he doesn't have much to do, so let him be the deputy city magistrate in the future, and the general affairs will gradually be handed over to him. It will be up to you to deliberate on the matter. ”

Old Jack looked at Wang Xiaode in surprise, but quickly lowered his head. Old Jack's heart suddenly turned from excitement to gloom, and Old Jack could see from Wang Xiaode's attitude that Wang Xiaode wanted him to hand over the power of the city government in his hand, and the city government officer of the aristocratic city was equivalent to the prime minister of a country. Now that he has obtained the territory of his dreams, he is gradually withdrawing from the power center of the barony, and he doesn't know whether it is good or bad. If it weren't for the fact that he could still hold the title of city magistrate, then the so-called knight lord was completely delegated to himself.

Old Jack's expression naturally fell in the eyes of Wang Xiaode, Old Jack was originally a martial artist, although he has always been a civil official in the barony, but his scheming is still far worse than those real nobles or domestic servants. When I got to the master, I began to learn to manage the territory, and this age was already very large, and many things in terms of personality were already fixed. However, Old Jack has also learned some words in the past year or so, and some management has also improved, which is mainly learned from his subordinates Ah Xian and the bard. Even Lord Zhu Jiancheng, who is now in the limelight, also has a lot to ask them for.

After Old Jack said goodbye to Wang Xiaode, he walked home slowly, with mixed feelings in his heart, and he didn't want to go to the city hall anymore, as a city government official who was almost delegated, the fewer times he would go to the city hall in the future, the better. In this way, it will not affect the new official to take over. Even if I went to the city hall to find Zhu Jiancheng to ask for gold coins, I was no longer in such a hurry. In the past, many of these vaults were managed by themselves, but now they need to greet Zhu Jiancheng even if they allocate them themselves.

This time, Wang Xiaode's revocation of Old Jack's administrative power and the division of knightly titles are all in order to better control the barony, and Old Jack, as the most powerful alien aboriginal under his command, will undoubtedly hinder large-scale colonization plans in the future. Now send Old Jack out and hand over some important positions to the Huaxia people, which will also facilitate large-scale rectification in the future and ensure the smooth implementation of government decrees.
