Chapter XVII. The Reform Movement

Over the next few days, the orcs regained their previous calm, cowering in the camp, neither attacking nor retreating, as if waiting for something.

As for Yifei, he also hoped that the money boy outside would not run, so the plan of night harassment prepared was useless.

Originally, he was going to recruit some horse archers and then go out every night to harass the orc camp, but it suddenly occurred to him that even if the horse archer killed the orcs, he would not be able to clean up the battlefield, wouldn't it be a waste of resources.

Because of the generous gift of the orcs last time, his small vault was filled all at once, and he used 4,000 gold coins very generously to buy 1,000 units of stone from the system store, expanding the city again, and also building a lot of new commercial units.

Although he has to pay an additional worker's salary for each additional commercial building, he can earn an additional two workers' salaries after selling the goods produced by the commercial building to the system each month, especially for valuable military buildings, and he gets more gold.

But because the only raw material he could obtain from those military units was wood, he was more likely to build candle workshops and food buildings in some city buildings.

At the same time, he also spent 500 gold coins to build a market, originally he just wanted to see if there was any difference between the market in the game and reality.

But he never imagined that in the game, there was only a market for automatic buying and selling, and the chicken-like building solved one of his big problems!

After the concretization of reality, the market was able to provide a certain number of shops to the inhabitants of the territory to trade with each other, while he was able to collect some of the rent and taxes from the shops.

He was pleasantly surprised by this extra bonus, which meant that he had one more way to return his coins. And because of this, he had a brilliant idea to start the development of various lands in his own territory!

Since the shops can be sold, of course the houses can be sold!

So he issued an announcement and decided to publicly sell the permanent residence and use rights of the houses, to put it bluntly, to sell the houses, sell the houses built with wood to the people under his command, and then collect all the gold coins in their hands!

This announcement immediately made the residents of the castle boil, and the first to buy a house were the big salarymen, the four armed sergeants, except for Robbie at the beginning, who not only got back the gold they received this month, but also saddled them with three years of debt.

The armed sergeants will pay the rest of the balance over three years, and Yifei will only need to pay his salary of 10 gold coins every month!

And Robbie Yifei, who has made great contributions, directly sent a house to him.

Next is Simon, the good man who never gambled in any kind of gambling, and also buys a house from Yifei, and also pays the rest of the balance in three installments, and Yifei doesn't even have to pay him any salary every month.

Yifei was still a little guilty about this, and suggested that Simon should not extend the installment payment time, and he would not charge them interest anyway, but Simon resolutely refused, and told Yifei that he did not have to worry, their family could afford to pay for the purchase of the house.

After some inquiry, Yi Fei found out that Simon's family was actually from a family of swordsmen, and among the ten crusader swordsmen under his command, there were actually three crusader swordsmen who were his own brothers!

After learning the news, Yi Fei was stunned, how could there be such a thing, weren't they brushed out by the system, how could there be four brothers, typically a swordsman family, no wonder he was so confident, the total income of their family was higher than that of Robbie, a big salaryman!

Knowing this, Yi Fei accepted Simon's request to buy a house in installments with great ease, and at the same time, the other soldiers under his command also formed a small group to apply to him for a request to buy a house.

He raised his hands in favor of these requests, and in just two days twelve of the shacks built in the city were sold.

Suddenly, the amount of gold in his small coffer increased a lot, and he basically didn't need to pay any salary every month, although the taxes were much less, but he could use the taxes he received every day with peace of mind.

As for the future situation where the balance cannot be collected due to war casualties, he also issued an announcement that all the families of soldiers who died in the service of the lord would be exempted from the remaining room payment.

The original purpose was just to spend less, and now that the purpose has been achieved, of course he will not oppress the people under his command, because he finds that there is not much in this world, except that there is more land and more forests.

He only needs to consume a little wood to build a shack, which is very generous, and the most important thing is that the system is very considerate, and the shanty does not account for the number of building units, which makes him very smooth to implement the so-called commercial housing resale plan!

And it was because of these two announcements that when he gained more territories in the future, every village that was incorporated under his command was very supportive of him, which he did not expect.

But at the same time, he was also labeled as an outlier by the entire aristocratic class!

After Yifei was inspired by the idea of selling "commercial housing", he turned his attention to something else.

After the sale of commercial housing, he found that although the system is very rigid for the raw materials required for the construction of various buildings, there are some loopholes in the use of those buildings that have already been built!

Just like a shantytown, according to the system, a shanty house can live up to 8 residents, but in practice, as long as the residents do not dislike crowding, dozens of people can live!

This is still known when he visited Simon's house, a shanty has 8 rooms, Simon and his four brothers, after buying a shantytown, found a partner in a lightning flash, got married, and now there are ten people living in that shanty, that is, four newlyweds and their parents!

After discovering this, Yifei suddenly understood that the system was nothing more than his golden finger, able to provide him with some magical help to make him live better in this world, instead of restricting him.

He can make reasonable use of the system's various magical means to build his own territory in this world!

After understanding this, Yifei found that the system in his hand with no connotation is a good system, unlike other books, which restricts this and that at every turn, and does some obliterating tasks.

And the system he got is purely a BUG, he can use this system, under the conditions set by the system, he can do whatever he wants, and he doesn't have to worry about suddenly waking up one day and receiving a task of erasure!

After figuring this out, he began to implement his plan.

So while the people of the territory were still excited about owning a house of their own, he opened up the use of various industrial, food and commercial buildings.

According to the announcement he posted, as a lord, he hopes that all the sons of the territory can live a better and better life, and is willing to sell the ownership of various industrial, food and commercial buildings in the territory, but every lord who buys these buildings must not only pay the cost of buying these buildings, but also have to hand over 40% of the monthly output to the lord!

After posting this announcement, Yifei was still worried about whether the tax rate was a little higher, 40 percent, very exploitative!

But he didn't expect that after the announcement was posted, it immediately aroused the enthusiastic support of the residents of the territory, and the first to set an example was Tom and others, who actually partnered to buy the ownership of a brewing workshop, the purpose of which was to ensure that they could have enough malt beer to drink.

And the newly recruited honorary halberdiers even put forward a request that Yi Fei couldn't refuse, they wanted to buy a piece of land outside the city, the purpose was to build a martial arts training ground to facilitate the training of their children.

Yifei was a strong supporter of this idea, because he wanted to see how this building that was not part of the system building unit was built.

The next scene made him stupid, the so-called martial arts training ground of those halberd soldiers was nothing more than a fence made of some wood, a small piece of land was enclosed, and some things made of stone were placed in it, and then some teenagers would come here every day to do some basic martial arts training!

That's the reality, games can never fully envision everything that can be realized!

After seeing the martial arts training ground established by the halberd soldiers, Yi Fei's feelings became even more profound, although these residents and soldiers under his command were all manifested out of thin air through the system, but after they were manifested, they were all living, flesh and blood people!

At the same time, he also made several new discoveries, from the children of the halberdiers, he found that he could actually arm the people under his command, and did not account for the soldier population, the only disadvantage was that these armed soldiers were not as strong as the soldiers recruited from the barracks, and he could not check the data of these soldiers.

After discovering this, he didn't care, but seemed excited.

Because this result made him understand that in the future he can have more troops by this means.

The second is that when the number of workers in those workshops increases, the number of goods produced each day also increases. Take the bow and arrow workshop as an example, in the initial setting of the system, one workshop and one worker will produce one longbow a day.

And after the bow and arrow workshop was contracted by the lords, because the number of people working increased, he handed in more than one longbow a day, and he did not need to pay any wages to the workers.

At the same time, he was also a little puzzled, now that the territory is not in any trade environment, how did the gold coins in the hands of these unpaid lords come from?

After some inquiry, he found that these lords actually obtained gold coins by trading with the system, and some of the taxes they collected came from the transactions between the lords and the system!

After discovering this, he felt very surprised, and at the same time a little happy, haha, he actually collected the tax of the system!

At this time, Yifei also found that the game's display had changed for the first time, and the population of the territory was more detailed, not only by the number of shantytowns he built, but by showing all the population of the territory.

After discovering this, he also sensed that the system would change in response to some of his actions, but in the direction of its favor.

This also made him more sure that the system is actually an auxiliary tool with some magical functions, and the main body is himself!

After realizing this, Yifei suddenly had an idea that he might be able to take advantage of the changes in the system and gain greater power in this world

Thinking of this, he suddenly showed a wicked smile.
