Chapter 355: Here comes the opportunity to make a lot of money
"The nobles have waged wars, but the suffering brought by us civilians needs to be borne by us, is there still fairness in this world, why should we be oppressed by them, why should we be exploited by them........"
"What do you mean? I don't know what exploitation is? Exploitation means that the grain you grow is taken away by them! Think about it, who has worked hard to grow this grain day by day, is it a noble lord? Isn't it?"
"Snatching someone else's hard-earned income into one's own home is exploitation ......."
Yasuor took advantage of the rest and meal time to quietly give lessons to the "infantry colleagues" around him, and the easy-to-understand language and slightly exaggerated movements made him have dozens of "loyal listeners" in just a few days.
"Why are we born poor, why are those nobles born noble? Don't you understand? Let me tell you.......
"Think about it, will those lords and lords drive down the price of grain in a good harvest year? Even if you have the grain left after paying the tax, how much money can you get in exchange?"
A group of rough men around Yasol, you look at me, I look at you, thinking back to those harvest years, it seems that this is really the case.
Yasol looked around, then lowered his voice and continued: "This is all the means of those lords, they do this to prevent us farmers from saving spare money, and when the harvest is not in arrears in the next year, we have no money to buy food, so they put on a charitable face to lend, and we can't afford not to borrow, am I right?"
"That's right, seven years ago, I received ten livres worth of grain, and I didn't pay it back until last year, and I don't know how much money I paid back in the end......." A strong man around him was hit by Yasol's words, and said with some grievances.
"You can replace it as your luck, you look at the people around you who borrowed money, and in the end, how many of them paid back the money, didn't they all pay off their land, houses and even their wives and children?"
"Those nobles have been exploiting us in this way since their ancestors were more than eight generations old, do you think about whether you owned your own land when your grandfather was there, but is it still there?"
“.........”
“..........”
"Woooooooooo......oo Woowoo"
Someone next to him had already started crying, and there was no need to ask if he was pierced by Yasol's words.
"They all dispersed, and the men of the Order came. ”
A farmer who was in charge of keeping a sentry in the distance ran over in a panic.
"Don't panic, don't scatter in a hurry, return to your post in batches, if you are asked, say that the food you ate today is not clean, and all of them have diarrhea ......"
Yasol calmly calmed the commotion of the crowd, and reached out to divide the dozens of people into groups of four or five, and left in batches.
A few minutes later, a team of knights rode around here, saw a row of a dozen white farts, spat and left.
Among the farmers temporarily recruited by the Black Oak Legion, there are people like Yasol, who tell stories close to life with affection, complain about the unfairness that can be seen everywhere in life, and slowly pry the hidden seal of anger in the hearts of the people at the bottom.

"Bang dang!"
"It's so lonely for the two of you to live in such a deserted room, I've added a companion to you!"
In the dark dungeon, a beam of light appeared from the outside as the cell door opened, and Charles walked in with a brightly dressed spring breeze.
"Your Excellency, Marquis, we need not companions, we need to be treated in accordance with our status, there has never been a count who has been locked up in such a place without being convicted, and we will appeal to His Majesty King Ruthalf when we go out......."
Earl McKinsey straightened his hair and calmly protested to Charles, the filthy and dark environment only inspired his self-esteem and gave him some courage to stand up to Charles.
"You ask this person first, and then think about whether you are innocent!"
With a wave of his hand, little Dewar dragged a bloodied man in, shoved him down into the corner, and then turned around and walked out of the dungeon door.
His hands were still trembling, and for the first time the honest boy was personally in charge of interrogating a spy, and the murderous scene made him receive no less psychological stimulation than the prisoner.
"His name is Biar, and he is a close attendant of the Grand Duke of Luxon, and when you enter the Lorraine region, he is responsible for observing your movements in the shadows, and if you are killed or captured by me, he will send the news of war to Luxon City. ”
Charles approached the angry McKinsey and continued coldly: "Do you think there is still suspense in this war? We have an agreement that if war breaks out, you will be judged as spies." ”
"I'm not a spy, I'm a messenger,......." McKinsey replied weakly, feeling that he didn't have the strength to do so after a day.
"Well, I think so too, we ...... Let's talk about it alone?"
What are you talking about? What the hell do you want me to confess?
McKinsey looked up at the smiling Charles, as if he had seen a demon crawling out of hell.
Ten minutes later, Charles walked out of a separate room with a solemn expression.
"Immediately send a message to the military headquarters that the Engru have sent an army of 50,000 men into the Nilan region, which may at any time assist the Lucernes in attacking Lorraine. ”
"Cousin Linar ...... right away Lord Linar brought me ......."
"Gather all the merchants in the realm at once, and say that I have something very important to discuss with them. ”
Two hours later, the parlors of Sunset Castle were filled with people, and the small merchants who had not been qualified to set foot in Sunset Castle were assigned a chair and fidgeted at each other about Charles' purpose in summoning them.
"The Marquis has arrived!"
Roy, the butler, shouted, Charles and Olive walked in through the door, and all the merchants hurriedly stood up and bowed to Charles.
Only then did they realize that Charles and Olive were wearing cold armor.
"Guys, since I took over the Lorraine Territory, it's been pretty good for you merchants, right?
A group of merchants didn't know how to answer when they heard Charles's seemingly clueless words, until the last merchant of the United Commercial Company came forward and asked, "Lord Marquis, do you want to raise taxes?"
"No, I'm not thinking about raising taxes, I'm just trying to tell you something. ”
Charles turned and opened the curtain on the wall, revealing a very detailed map of Lorraine.
"Just three days ago, the Lucers suddenly gathered tens of thousands of people near the northern border, and now it is the spring plowing season, their intention to gather so many people, I don't need to explain it to you, right?"
"I once told a few businessmen here that the most profitable business is to make war money, and now that war is just around the corner, ......."
"Here's the chance to make a lot of money!"
