Chapter 162: Closing the Law of Displaced People
After a busy June, a hard July, and a hot August, the farmers who had been busy for most of the year were finally able to breathe a sigh of relief from the golden waves and lie down and enjoy life to the fullest. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Especially this year is the end of the third year that the little Tang Grand Duke has come to Desmond, after nearly three years of development, it can be said that everyone has warm clothes, every family has surplus food, and there is no longer any need to worry about starvation, so throughout September, Desmond lies down in a lazy atmosphere.
However, in the whole of Ireland, only Desmond is qualified to do so.
In North Munster, or Ormond, although the people there were also the subjects of the Grand Duke of the Little Don, but because they were new to the new and relatively short time, they did not enjoy any of the benefits that they should have, and not only that, but they also had to devote a lot of energy to digging ditches and building roads under the strict supervision of Klein, and life was simply miserable, and some even began to miss the time when the Grand Duke of Mulchid did nothing.
But the people here are at least alive, and they're lucky enough compared to the war-torn conditions in Northern Ireland.
To tell the truth, for several years in a row, God has been very face-saving, sunny when it should be fine, rainy when it should rain, and there has never been any small emotion, thanks to God's stability, Ireland's wheat yield in the past two years has been quite bumper - also compared with previous years.
But as the saying goes, the time is not as good as the location, and the location is not as good as the people, this sentence has another meaning in turn, and natural disasters are not as good as man-made disasters.
The three consecutive defeats of Duke Eddard, the natural overlord of Northern Ireland, not only caused him to lose his prestige, but even caused him to lose his hometown. It is conceivable how angry Duke Ed's subordinates are at this 'incompetent' lord, coupled with Duke Ed's dove's nest, and the contradictions with his subordinates are becoming increasingly tense, and small-scale conflicts have been constant. A farmer's hard work and hope for a year often only need a small fire, and it will all go down the drain.
No wonder Count Alcoba is tired of running every day, and the robbers and roadbands can't be caught, and since they can't live anymore, you can't deprive people of the right to make a last-ditch effort!
"So, any of you here can come up with any way to solve this problem once and for all?"
Still in the castle of Benratty, after all, the little Tang Grand Duke has made up his mind to develop the two places of North Munster and Ormond, so it is only natural that the court should be moved here.
Now that the Chinese martial arts of the castle are gathered again, in the face of this request made by the Grand Duke of Xiao Tang, the Minister of Culture and Military Affairs can only stare at the small one, two, three, four.
Because of the homeless thing, it is not a simple matter of receiving it.
Everything in the territory, the sky, the earth, the rivers, the forests are the wealth of the lord, and this everything of course includes people, and in the eyes of the lord, the peasant itself is a kind of wealth that can walk.
Will you watch your wealth run away, especially if this wealth still has long legs, and you can't stop it?
The answer was definitely not, so there was an unspoken rule among the nobles, and the peasant who escaped, his family was arrested and killed, and his head hung on a pillar to warn future generations; The peasants who escaped, he was arrested and killed, and his head hung on a pillar to warn future generations, absolutely, never to be a fugitive slave.
Of course, since it is an unspoken rule, there must be room for operation, and sometimes in order to enhance your own strength, or purely to disgust your neighbors, it is not a matter of containing a hundred and eighty people - but this is also carried out under the table, and it is also small-scale, everyone turns a blind eye and pretends not to see it, you are now speaking out openly, and you have to legislate, it's too arrogant, hey!
However, the Duke of Xiao Tang now has this arrogant qualification, he is the second oldest on the island of Ireland, and no one, at least on the surface, can disobey his opinion, so some of the things that he has always wanted to do before can also be carried out now.
First of all, there is the open forest, such a large forest, which is originally a great treasure that has not been explored, but only a limited number of nobles gallop in it every year - because the little Tang Grand Duke has no interest in hunting at all, and now there are no people who gallop, and it has completely become a paradise for wild animals.
After opening the forest, it finally gave the village close to the forest another way to live, and it can also train hunters, a little training during the war is an excellent archer, the prey from the hunter, the fur can also be made into leather armor, alleviating the dilemma of the serious shortage of light armor under the Duke of Xiao Tang.
In other words, everyone else is desperate and wants heavy armor, how can they come to you, and it becomes that light armor is not enough?
But this is the truth, because of the existence of the small blast furnace, as long as the mold is made in advance, the iron leaves are very simple to make, and the iron leaves are strung together is a simple chain mail, to put it mildly, it is not an exaggeration to say that with the current chain mail reserves of the little Tang Grand Duke, it is not difficult to give one to his army, and it is not difficult to make all the heavy soldiers.
However, please imagine the picture at that time, a super long pikeman, wearing twenty or thirty pounds of chain armor on his body, and holding a super long spear weighing ten pounds in his hand, more than powerful and domineering, but the durability is really insufficient!
After all, we are men, not only for long, but also for a long time.
"Lord Dagong, although your idea is indeed good, and if it succeeds, it can improve our strength, but it is quite difficult to operate!"
Standing at the forefront, Klein persuaded bitterly, of course he knows the benefits of collecting the homeless, but the conscience of heaven and earth, my Grand Duke, I have been busy for several days without sleep, so you don't have to find anything for me to do.
"First of all, it is the reaction of the surrounding nobles, but this can be ignored; Secondly, there is the issue of the border, once this decree is introduced, not only the peasants of Duke Eddard, but also the Earl of Kildel and the Earl of Osoruny, I am afraid that many peasants in their territories will flee, and our soldiers will not be able to keep an eye on every corner of the border, and small groups of peasants will flee, and the crime rate in our territory will definitely further increase; Finally, there is the problem of resettlement, so many displaced people, where are they resettled, where is there enough land for them to cultivate, these are also problems, and the seeds at the beginning still need to be provided, Lord Duke, these are all money, you can't ignore it! ā
āā¦ā¦ā
Klein said so much in one breath, Grand Duke Don's face almost turned red, it turned out that there were still so many problems, he moved his mouth easily, but Klein and Count Alcoba at the bottom almost broke his leg.
But he is the Grand Duke, the Grand Duke, although it is also important to listen to good words, but he still has to retain a little bit of majesty, if everything is retreated because of the slightest difficulty said by his subordinates, then how can he move forward?
"These problems...... After all, it's still a small difficulty, and the purpose of calling everyone here is to brainstorm and come up with a good idea. Besides, Klein, didn't you keep shouting that you didn't have enough manpower the day before yesterday, and if you took in enough homeless people, your manpower would be enough. ā
"This ......"
Hearing what the Grand Duke of Xiao Tang said, Klein was almost speechless, Lord Grand Duke, you really deserve to be Lord Grand Duke, and if you can speak in such a high-sounding manner, I am also convinced.
There is no way, since the top boss has made a decision, Klein, who is a small soldier, can only obey, and as the initiator of the problem, Grand Duke Xiao Tang also gave some suggestions.
"I'll let my students help you with the small group of outcasts, it's time for them to come out and let loose after locking them up for so long, and Count Olcoba will also be fully assisting, sending soldiers to help you keep the law and order. As for the question of where to settle, I remember that there are still not enough residents in Cork City......"
"But Lord Grand Duke, Cork City is our city of hope, and the development of the Grand Duke in the next few years will still be pinned on this city, and I can't let a group of refugees who don't understand anything and don't pay attention to hygiene disturb the hope that we have built with great difficulty."
Klein Zhengse said, about the previous student's question, he has no opinion at all, in fact, he has long suggested that the little Tang Dagong, and those who make mistakes have already been punished, and now that the gap in officials is so big, the students should be released to do things. It's just that the Duke of Xiao Tang was bitten by a snake once, and he was afraid of the well rope for ten years, so he still wanted to hone the students first, so he always pressed them, and this time he finally made up his mind.
But as for the resettlement of the displaced people into Cork City, this is something he could never agree to!
"You can't put it in the city, you can let them outside the city, after the swamp is filled, Cork City is not always empty, and the swamp is also a good fertile land, it is always too wasteful to put it."
Grand Duke Tang Xiao didn't care at all, and after thinking about it for a while, he changed his mind a little and then said, this time, Klein really couldn't say anything against it.
"Follow your orders, Grand Duke."
After bowing his head and saluting, as if remembering something, Crane asked, "Only, what should we do if we find out that there are traitors or robbers among this group of outcasts?" ā
"In troubled times, we must not let people look down on us, kill those who deserve to be killed, hang their heads on the flagpole, throw their bodies in the wilderness, and let the wolves gnaw at them, so that they will know who their masters are."
After receiving such an answer, Klein smiled with satisfaction, and Count Alcobar also smiled with satisfaction, after all, the little Tang Grand Duke still abandoned the superfluous benevolence as they expected, and his heart became harder and harder, and he was about to become an excellent feudal lord, even as a king, not inferior in the slightest.
