Jacques Potter was hung from a shelf at the entrance of the village, and the villagers could see him in pain as soon as they turned their heads.

No one dared to speak for Jacques Porter.

Even Jacques' father and brother did not have the courage to stand up.

On the contrary, the family lowered their heads and quickly buried their heads in the ground, for fear that one of their breaths would disturb others.

The whole place was oppressively quiet.

At this time, no one dared to question William's authority.

Even if he looked fifteen or sixteen years old, even if he didn't look strong or fierce, even if he only brought a few retinues with little force.

All the villagers are waiting for William's orders!

Violence, although not the strongest method of rule, is always the most efficient method of rule.

William walked back onto the stone platform, and Old John stood beside him with his head held high.

Although no one dared to speak, the chaotic formation below also made William frown.

When the villagers below saw it, they all became scared, and they didn't know who had provoked this cruel lord to anger again, and they prayed in their hearts that it would not be themselves, not themselves, not themselves!

William really couldn't stand it, and wanted to let his entourage rectify the formation, but he was afraid that they wouldn't understand his intentions, so he had no choice but to end up in person.

He walked down from the stone platform and came to the villagers at the front.

When the villagers saw William coming, they were all trembling with fear.

William didn't care about this, he directly ordered a villager to take a few steps forward.

Although the villagers were afraid, they did not dare to resist, and resigned themselves to the position designated by William, waiting for the arrangement of fate.

William ignored him at all, but from other places, he called five villagers to stand parallel to the first villager's position parallel but not far apart!

Six villagers stood in horror.

William then shouted to the villagers, "Everyone who lives with the people in front of them will stand in the back, one after another!" ”

As soon as the words came out, the villagers started to stir again.

They thought that William would not even spare the families of the villagers.

Only old Gretel in the center of the crowd was thoughtful.

One of the villagers standing in front of him began to cry, and he said to William with bitter tears, "Woo woo, lord, if there is a mistake, please punish me, my family is innocent and should not be affected by my fault, I beg you, merciful lord, please spare my family!" ”

As soon as he said this, several other people who had not cried before also began to cry, and they all begged William's forgiveness.

Old John came up and shouted, "Damn, you pariahs, are you ordering the Barons to do things?" ”

"That's not what we meant, Lord John! For your son's sake, please help us intercede with the lord and spare our family! The villagers were panicked by Old John's words, and hurriedly pleaded.

Hearing the villagers call him "Master John", old John's eyes flashed with a hint of self-satisfaction, but he always knew the source of his honor and did not lose himself.

He secretly glanced at William, and found that his brows were furrowed, thinking that his remaining anger had not disappeared, and his heart immediately straightened his position, and made a fierce look on his face, and said with a grin, "Stupid pariah, why don't you wait until winter to know about storing grain?" Why wait until you make a mistake to know it? ”

"Enough, shut up!" William couldn't help but shout angrily.

Old John and the villagers were frightened and obediently closed their mouths.

William's gaze roamed around, and finally fell on the villagers in front of him, sighed, and said helplessly, "I don't intend to punish you and your family......"

Hearing this, the villagers and their families were overjoyed.

"But if you don't do what I ask, it's hard for me to guarantee that I won't take out my anger on you."

The villagers became terrified again.

"Now, stay where you are, and let your family stand behind you for me!" William shouted with a blank face.

The voice came.

Soon a young villager stepped out of the crowd and stumbled behind one of the villagers.

With the first, there was soon a second.

It didn't take long for the families of the six villagers to come out and stand behind them.

But then a new problem arises.

There was a villager's family, I don't know if it was stupid or stupid, a bunch of people piled up behind him, and it made a mess.

This made the nameless fire in William's heart rise again.

He walked over in a huff, grabbed one of the villagers directly, pinned him behind the villagers in front of him, and then yelled at the stenching villagers, "Damn it! One by one, one by one! Otherwise, I'll hang you all behind and keep that Jacques company!" ”

Fear gives motivation.

Those villagers were frightened by William, and immediately did not dare to breathe, and honestly lined up.

Looking at the six relatively straight lines, William's mood was a little soothed.

He shouted again, "Old John! ”

"Lord Baron, I am always by your side!"

"According to my method, you put these villagers, one after the other, behind them in an orderly manner!" William pointed to the rest of the villagers.

"Yes! Your command is my will! Old John answered, called his son, and the blacksmith and carpenter, and went to put the rest of the villagers in order.

It had been about a candle to burn, and when the sun had turned the whole village in a golden color, all the villagers were lined up in six long lines as families.

There is no way to compare it with the tofu block army formation in the previous life, but it is better than the messy situation in the morning, I don't know how many times.

At a glance, at a glance!

And it's also well organized.

The venue is much more open, not as crowded as it is in the morning, with little room to stand!

Old John praised William beside him, "Lord Baron, you are the wisest lord I have ever seen, as brilliant as the sun in the sky!" ”

"Well, old John, don't say that. What I hope is that you can learn this management method as soon as possible, so that it can make it easier for me, okay? And not these pretty words! Old John, you are like my left hand and right arm, and I hope that one day, you will be like my arm, and help me with anything. I also hope that one day, I will not address you as Old John, but Sir John. Little John should also be like a true knight, riding on horseback and crisscrossing all directions! You say, "Is it okay, my Uncle John!" ”

Old John's eyes were suddenly full of shame, and his face flushed.

A baron who personally went down to deal with the untouchables, a baron who personally reorganized the ranks of the villagers, was not showing his outstanding ability, but the disgrace of their retinue.

"Lord Baron, I swear by my life and that of my children, and I will not disappoint you!" Old John said heavily.

"Hmmm! I'm sure there will be that day! William nodded calmly, and then added, "Take out those two pieces of parchment, go down, and count them for me to see if anyone hasn't come?" ”

Old John's eyes lit up as he listened.

William had asked him to count the number of people in the village and write them down on parchment, and now he was lining up by family unit.

In this way, as long as you look at the parchment and look at each family unit, you can quickly know the specific situation of each family.

The situation of the territory is as clear as the palm print on the lord's hand!

It's like other lords, who don't know much about the situation in their own territory, and notify the villagers to hold a meeting, and they don't know who is coming and who is not!

Of course, the premise is that the other lords have called the villagers to a meeting!

William's means are really high! Too high!

Old John couldn't help but say to William, "Lord Baron, allow me to ...... you most for your wisdom."

"Old John, go and do the work." William shook his head, interrupting Old John's uncontrollable sycophancy.

"Yes, Lord Baron." Old John's face was solemn, and he answered, and went to work!

With William's bullet pressure, no one present dared to move.

After another candle burned, Old John and his son John Jr. finally counted their attendance and reported it to William.

"Lord Baron, I have found out, there are a total of twelve people who have not arrived." When Old John said this, his expression was a little angry, Lord Baron wanted to speak, but he didn't dare to come?

"Lord Baron, I think these people are ignoring your authority and need to be punished heavily!" Old John suggested.

"Let their family call them first!"

"Lord Baron, I've already had someone call." Old John hurriedly said.

"Well, that's good." William boasted casually, and Old John was overjoyed.

The village was not large, and it didn't take long for the twelve men to be called.

Rows of villagers did not dare to speak, so they had to watch them.

This made the twelve villagers, who were already panicked, even more frightened.

With this in mind, they walked up to William.

The end of Jacques Potter being hung at the entrance of the village, as well as the quiet performance of the villagers, made these twelve villagers dare not be presumptuous at all.

One of them, wanting to explain, rushed to say, "Noble Baron, I am here to ......"

William stopped him with a wave of his hand.

Old John immediately scolded, "Untouchable, Lord Baron didn't speak, who made you speak without permission!" You should have sewn your mouth shut so that you would not be able to eat a single loaf of bread and starve to death! ”

The villager trembled with fear.

William shook his head helplessly, stopped Old John, and said, "Enough, Old John." ”

Old John closed his mouth.

William looked at them and said, "I don't care what your reason is, but it's a fact that you didn't attend my meeting!" “

"Old John, you write down the new regulations on parchment! The second statute of the lord of Dicas, that whoever is absent from a major meeting of the lord without any reason and who does not report it in advance shall be given five to twenty lashes, depending on the circumstances, and shall be punished with a silver franc to a gold pis. ”

When it came to whipping, the twelve villagers didn't react much, but when it came to punishing a silver franc or even a gold pith coin, the faces of the twelve villagers immediately turned pale, "Lord Baron, please be lenient!" We don't dare anymore! ”

Old John now earns only nine francs a month.

And a kilogram of rye sells for only 3 copper coins.

The villagers had to sell about thirty-five kilograms of rye to earn a silver franc.

The punishment here is too heavy for them.

Old John happily remembered that in his opinion, these untouchables should be punished well before they were obedient!

At this time, William's pen turned and he said, "However, when I asked Old John to inform you, I didn't say that I would be punished for not coming, so I won't care about this matter today!" ”

The twelve villagers kowtowed excitedly, "The lord is merciful, the lord is merciful!" ”

"However, from today onwards, those who are absent from the meeting without reason, and who cannot queue up like today, will be punished by the regulations of the Dicas Territory! You know? William looked at the rows of villagers below and asked loudly.

"Got it!" The villagers replied weakly.

"I can't hear it, be louder!" William said coldly.

"Yes!" This time, the villagers have used all their strength to create people!

William nodded with satisfaction, called the twelve villagers down, and really began today's speech.

By this time the sun had already risen!

"Good morning, villagers! I am your lord, the son of the Lord of the Duchy, Archduke Odyssey VII, Baron William Odyssey. You can call me Baron William, or you can call me Baron Dicas! ”

"What happened in the past in the Dicas, whether it was right or wrong, is yesterday's chapter, and it has passed."

"Now, you have to follow my rules!"

William said domineeringly.
