Chapter 35: The Great Reform of the Territory (3)

Yarlin quickly finished reading the parchment in his hand, "Knight Commander Yaheng, who wrote this?"

Yaheng waited beside him, and when he heard Yarlin speak, he hurriedly replied: "It's Consul Allen, he handed it over to me, let me go and inform those untouchables, I can't figure it out, so I'll come and ask you." ”

Hearing that it was written by Allen, Yarlin didn't speak, sitting on the chair frowning, his hand kept knocking on the table, and he couldn't figure out what his cheap "brother-in-law" thought.

After thinking for a while, Yarlin, who didn't figure it out, waved his hand and said to Yaheng: "You go back first, I'll go talk to Allen." ”

Looking at Yaheng who was leaving, Yarlin shook the parchment in his hand tightly, he was a little embarrassed, how to tell Allen, not only because he liked Alice, but also because he was sitting here, it was Allenty's strategy.

It didn't take long for Arrin to leave the castle and go to Alan's house, presumably knowing what to say.

At this time, Alan didn't know that Yaheng didn't go directly to inform the people at all, but went to Yarlin.

When Alan saw Guen come back and handed over the things to Yaheng himself, he went home with peace of mind, and the fool would stay in the "office" all the time.

"Come, try the food I made. Alan stayed in the kitchen and yelled at Alice.

Since becoming a consul, his status has been improved, and he naturally has to be kind to himself in terms of food, so after Allen, who was "fake and private", found an ingredient in the Baron's Castle, he "stole" some back, this thing is onions, you know, Allen especially liked to eat onions in his previous life.

Alice, who heard the sound, looked at the fried meat with onions on the plate strangely, "Brother, what is this?"

Alan smiled and took a pair of chopsticks and handed them to Alice, saying, "Come, taste it." ”

Speaking of chopsticks, it is because I found out when I was a child that I actually grabbed it with my hands when I ate, so there are basically no hot dishes, but all cold dishes.

So "invented" chopsticks, sure enough, it is the ancient Chinese culture, unlike the knives and forks of the West, the common people in the case of the underdeveloped iron smelting industry, is simply not able to have edible tableware, and chopsticks are simple, the simplest chopsticks can be made of ordinary wood, in this era, wood is simply the most common material.

As soon as chopsticks were born, they "swept the territory", and even reached the ears of the old baron at that time, thus becoming the standard tableware of the territory.

Alice's small mouth is a chopstick, "Hmm...... Ahem, it's so spicy...... But it's delicious. Alice screamed, but she was reluctant to spit it out.

"Sniff, it's so fragrant, it smells like a spicy dish. A voice came from outside, and it was Arrin who had rushed over.

"Ahh

"Anyway, why are you here to sneak a peek at Alice?" Alan said angrily, since he had been polite to Yarlin since they had talked about their family affairs.

"Ahem, No, look at it. Arrin crazily picked up the dishes on his plate and reached out and handed the parchment to Alan.

"Huh, isn't this what I gave to Yaheng, how did it get to you?" Alan flipped through the parchment and saw that he had written it to Yaheng.

"Well, Yaheng felt that there was something wrong with what you wrote, so he came to tell me, so I came over to ask what the meaning of what you wrote. ”

"Hmm~" After moaning for a while, Alan put down the kitchen knife in his hand and said, "Anyway, I have decided that these are all ways to increase the strength and wealth of the territory, for example."

In other words, changing the tax law can increase the enthusiasm of farmers, and it can make people more active in cultivating land for the territory. Looking at Arlin with a puzzled expression, Alan explained.

"Oh~" Yarlin looked suddenly enlightened, and then said: "Although I don't understand, it feels like it's very powerful, so let's do it, well, it's delicious, this spicy dish." ”

I don't understand, I don't understand what your expression is, I really want to beat you, Alan shouted in his heart.

Since the matter is decided, let's do it, Alan ignored Yarlin, picked up the kitchen knife and started cooking, he hasn't eaten yet.

......

Yaheng's house, Yaheng took the parchment that returned to his hand again, alas, he had to make a trip, and ordered to gather the knights to start work.

It's a pity that his "academic performance" is a little worse, so he can only be a head in this remote place, and he has to do a "part-time job", after sighing for a while, Yaheng walked to the center of the town, believing that the knights had gathered the people.

At this time, in the center of the town, the inhabitants of the territory gathered one by one.

"Did something happen?"

"What's going on?"

"Who knows, the last time such a big gathering was ten years ago. ”

Yaheng walked to the center of the town, and the people whispered one by one.

Walking to the makeshift platform, Yaheng suppressed his voice and shouted: "It's all quiet, this time it is mainly the consul who has formulated a new tax law and other territorial regulations." Seeing that the crowd slowly quieted down, he spoke: "The specific decrees are as follows:

First, the tax law is changed to 15 tax 1;

Second: the newly reclaimed land can be exempted from taxes for three years, and all income belongs to oneself

Thirdly:

......”

There are a total of 53 new laws and regulations.

However, as Yaheng said more and more regulations, the expressions of disbelief on the faces of the people parked below became more and more obvious.

After speaking, Yaheng looked at the people below who didn't believe it, frowned, and shouted, "You can rest assured, the lord agrees to this matter." ”

Slowly, I felt that the knight was not joking, and the crowd slowly became noisy.

The person standing in front told the people in the back, and one by one it spread, and the voice of thanks slowly came.

"Thank you, Lord Lord, thank you, thank you, thank you Yaheng people. The voices of the crowd gradually unified, shouting loudly:

"Long live your lord!"

"Long live the consul!"

"Long live the people of Yahengda!"

One by one, they lay on the ground and kowtowed in the direction of the castle.

Some were so happy that they wept with joy.

Looking at the crowd kneeling on the ground below, Yaheng's heart seemed to be touched by something, listening to the shouts of familiar people, there seemed to be a hot current in his heart, Yaheng covered his chest and looked at the crowd in front of him, what does this feel, how come I have never felt it?

If Alan was here, he would know that this is the will of the people, a force that can turn the world upside down.

Alan and Arlin, who were sitting at home, heard the cries of the people.

"What is that sound?" said Arrin in vaguely, as if to say himself and Allen?

"Haha, this is the people's heart, Arlin, the people who have gotten it are all big shots!" Alan laughed a few times, and said with a smile to the somewhat surprised Yarlin.
