Chapter 184: A Symptom of Change
After the crisis was eliminated, Yunlang did not immediately turn back, and went to the checkpoint to see the situation first.
At this time, the entire checkpoint is crowded, with a large number of people coming in and out, and vehicles full of goods driving in a staggered manner, almost making it difficult to move an inch.
Jiang Yue hurriedly recruited the pro-guards and cleared the road in front of his head, which barely squeezed out a passable road.
Yun Lang paid attention to everyone's reactions and vaguely saw some problems. After thinking about it repeatedly, he wanted to take this opportunity to stabilize people's hearts first, and when his thoughts were mature, he temporarily jumped on the rejection bar next to the road, and after barely standing firm, he shouted loudly.
"You all stop, I'm the new lord of Shining Gold Town, please listen to me!" Yun Lang's voice was not very loud, but the chaotic scene suddenly calmed down a lot.
Everyone stopped to watch, revealing a look of curiosity.
"In the past, some of you, because of all kinds of troubles, were cornered, forced to become bandits or robbers, and thus did some wrong things. But please rest assured, I will not be too accountable for the past things, those who do not have great evils can be directly freed, even if they have done some evil things, as long as they can take the initiative to be honest and admit their mistakes, they can also be appropriately reduced. As long as you are willing to become my subjects, I promise to treat you equally and fairly. In order to make more people hear clearly, Yun Lang said this almost word by word.
The old and weak women and children who looked uneasy and dazed were shocked at first, and then their eyes gradually glowed.......
Those who can join the vanguard army naturally have a better place to go, and those who cannot be recruited do not know the fate of the next.
An atmosphere akin to despair envelops these people, leaving them with no direction for the future.......
After Yun Lang noticed this situation, he wanted to appease them, so that they would not be bewitched by certain forces, and then cause some tragedies that could have been avoided.
He noticed that everyone agreed, and when he saw that it was working, he continued: "Those who cannot join the vanguard army, as a lord, also have a responsibility to take care of you, and as long as you are willing to work, I guarantee that each of you will have a prosperous life. Those who do not have great evils will not only be freed immediately, but I will also choose a few suitable locations near the town of Shining Gold to build a village for you, and I promise to pay you no taxes for two years, and I will also provide you with some equipment for free or at a lower price, so that you can have a good start. As long as you are willing to work, you will be able to enjoy a peaceful and prosperous life. ”
If it was only to attract their attention, then then it is time to give them tangible benefits.......
The bewildered and helpless captured robbers and their families were overjoyed, and countless people shouted with each other to express their sincerest gratitude.
After pacifying the special population, he did not forget the soldiers who were recruited: "In addition to this incident, at the upcoming celebration, I will also issue a detailed statement on the details of the streamlining of taxes, and I promise that during my time as lord, the taxes will only be reduced and not increased, and the right people will definitely be able to enjoy a prosperous and stable life." In addition, for those warriors who sacrifice their lives to defend the territory, not only will they be better treated, but they can also continue to be promoted, enjoy better treatment, and hold higher positions according to their own military exploits, and I promise that everyone who really contributes to Shining Gold Town can get the honor and wealth they deserve!"
He is a lord, and he is still a lord who speaks, and he promises in public here that it will be gradually realized in the near future.
The entire level was boiling in an instant, countless people shouted that they were willing to sacrifice everything for the lord, and some people unloaded the big stone in their hearts after finding the direction of the future, and wept freely.......
。
After Yunlang made his promise, he did not continue to stop in the level.
With so many people coming at once, there are too many things to prepare, and he needs to expedite them one by one as soon as possible, so as not to breed unnecessary negative emotions among these people.
After he returned to the lord's palace, the two barons did not take the opportunity to visit, and after each of them took their leave, they immediately went around in a circle and got together again.
The two went to a tavern, and Baron Sylvia arrived a little earlier and took the initiative to prepare a sumptuous meal. Baron Harold and his battle lady, although they arrived on foot, did not intend to hide their tracks too much.
The two sat opposite each other and were silent for a long time.
Suddenly, Sylvia asked leisurely, "Are you....... How do you plan to do that?"
"Are there more options?" Harold asked rhetorically, "what about you?"
"Your lord's means and abilities are beyond imagination....... Thousands of captives are a big hidden danger, and if they are not handled properly, they will be in big trouble. I didn't expect ....... He was able to resolve this big trouble in a few words. "Sylvia didn't get straight to the point.
Both of them tacitly talked about the edge first.
"Yes!" Harold nodded in agreement: "That Jiang Yue, who looks like a little girl, has an unimaginable command ability, and it is extremely difficult for a mixed team of nearly two thousand people like this to keep it from happening." As for her, she can let those people directly exert their combat power in an extreme time. ”
Sylvia nodded, and continued, "My battle maid has already inquired, that Jiang Yue....... When they left Huya Pass, there were less than four squads, and even if they added the miscellaneous servants who escorted valuables, there were less than 100 people, and most of the personnel were from Huya Pass.
However, in less than ten days, her team had grown to nearly three thousand people, and the number of regular soldiers recruited alone was almost two thousand. And this is not the most terrible, she cleared along the way, won many battles, conquered everything, and made outstanding achievements, after more than 30 battles, there were no 100 injuries, and few people died in battle. And all of this, all at an extreme time......."
Just speaking of this, Sylvia was a little dry-mouthed. Because this is beyond her comprehension, it feels like this is not a human thing at all.
After she drank a large glass of fruit wine in one gulp, she continued with a wry smile: "Her personal strength is not outstanding, according to my battle maid Eve's estimate, she is only at the level of a second-order magician. However, there were more than a dozen third-order powerhouses, who not only expressed their allegiance to her, but also feared her like a tiger, and the unimaginable thing was put in front of me. ”
Harold was older and less emotionally turbulent, but even so, the cup in his hand still trembled slightly from time to time.
"An artifact that can summon starfall, a loyal warrior of nearly two thousand scales, more than thirty third-order powerhouses, and two fourth-order sages....... Even without a clever command, it is enough to overwhelm all the forces in this land!" he looked helpless.
Inadvertently, he said another fact: "Maybe from now on, Shining Gold Town, Twilight Forest, and Corrant City will be substantially connected, and the Liuyun family will inevitably become the most powerful of the twelve electors, and our lord who has contributed to all this is very likely to be the next elector....... Perhaps, the changes in Shining Gold Town are just a small beginning, and the pattern of the entire empire will definitely change dramatically in the future. ”
"Indeed....... Whether I want to or not, our Hall family must quickly find our own position, so as not to fall behind the rocks and become a paving stone for others!" she faintly revealed her choice.
In her original plan, she would first unite with the new lords and take the opportunity to expand the power and influence of the Hall family, and then wait for the other two barons to make a move, and then she will stand on the side of the two barons to balance the lords.
In this way, you can not only use the edge of the young lord to obtain some substantial benefits, but also get the approval of the other two barons, and eat these benefits more simply.
It's just that the situation changed too fast, and the balance was broken in an instant, and if she was slow, she might really become someone else's paving stone.......
After "......." understood the meaning of Sylvia's words, Baron Harold smiled and revealed his decision on the side: "In our White family, there is also a Mansha, although their sister and brother have been separated, but after all, they are still surnamed White." The main family and the divided family are both called by outsiders, but they are still a family after all. ”
After each of them made their own choices, they glanced at each other and smiled tacitly.
As he was leaving, Baron Harold suddenly asked, "I heard....... Yesterday you visited the lord's mansion after getting drunk, and if you become the lord's wife in the future, don't ......."
Before he could finish speaking, Sylvia got up angrily: "Hmph, you're worried about ........"
She didn't know how to explain it, so she had to leave in a hurry.
Harold looked at her back and smiled meaningfully.
