Chapter 103: Orders (I)
If you say that, Aya...... Maybe even His Highness the Black Sun and the other gods really didn't realize that a catastrophe of rare scale was coming.
The last time such a catastrophe, even Aya didn't know very well, it can only be said that it was about three thousand years ago, when it was said that the population of the continent had plummeted by more than seventy percent, and more than ten pillars of gods had either fallen or suffered heavy losses, and their strength had regressed greatly.
The greatest catastrophe in the history of human civilization on earth has absolutely no such scale, unless it is related to the legend of the Great Flood. Even the Black Death killed only a quarter of Europeans.
Now the continent where Luo Ming is located is larger than Europe on the earth, and the population has shrunk by seventy percent, that is, three or four billion people have died.
Even such a catastrophe would only cause a dozen gods to suffer huge losses...... There are still many gods, such as the Lord of the Dawn, who have been left over from antiquity.
However, in Luo Ming's prophetic dream, the glorious and powerful, almost godless Lord of the Dawn in the world today has also fallen.
Although the image of the dream was blurry, a huge fireball like the sun fell, and a mountain range sank directly to the land, and the shock wave created new mountain ranges...... Such a terrible thing, of course, Luo Ming remembers very clearly.
It is not difficult to conclude that the catastrophe that may befall in the future is likely to be even greater than the catastrophe that killed 70% of the population on the mainland.
If it really comes to that point, then Luo Ming thinks that it is better to quickly learn those doomsday controls, build a few shelters that even Big Ivan can block, and wait for the disaster to pass before leading the people out to build a new world.
At that time he was the Trinity of Savior, Prophet, and Messenger......
However, digging shelters also requires power, manpower, and money...... This brings us back to the topic of building territories.
When the strength is not enough, no matter how many good plans can only stay in the brain or accumulate dust on paper, it is useless to think too much.
Just then, the steward knocked on the door, and he came back to his life.
"Master, the task you have entrusted you has completed has been completed.
Two hundred and thirty-six have settled in your territory, and all but a few are disabled, old, or seriously ill, and have been brought with them, a total of two hundred and thirty. ”
"You didn't drive them away roughly, did you?"
"Of course not, my lord, because of your generosity, even one of the lame men came with a stick, and only those who were too old to move did not come. ”
Luo Ming just called the steward to declare, saying that as long as anyone came, they would only give a piece of black bread that was only enough to eat one meal.
But even a meal brought these poor people here.
As for the few people who were not so poor, they simply gathered spontaneously, since it was the first order of the new lord, how could they not give face?
Calling Granty, Login walked out the door and climbed onto a raised platform improvised with a table, overlooking the two hundred and thirty people in front of him.
When a class is not monitored by a teacher or monitor, it can turn into a downtown area in ten minutes.
Now these more than 200 people are about to turn into a pot of porridge, but fortunately, there are soldiers and stewards with sharp blades and others who scold them, so that the minimum order is maintained.
If it's the hottest time of summer, most people will already faint from heat stroke. Fortunately, it is early spring, and the weather is cool and not icy.
Thankfully, there were only about 200 people. Luo Ming couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
With more than 200 civilians, this kind of scene is still relatively easy to control, otherwise he would never dare to gather all the people together to meet.
If the strength is strong in the future, it will become difficult to see ordinary civilians more widely at that time, and those who can get close to themselves are basically "people's representatives" or even "squires and landlords".
When Luo Ming appeared on the high platform, there was indeed silence for a moment, and then there was a commotion again.
Maybe it's because his face is relatively young - Luo Ming almost ignored that he was already very young, and now he was only twenty years old.
Although obedience to the nobility is almost an instinct carved into the bones of commoners, such a young upstart will eventually make people talk about it, some people worry about whether he will be young and vigorous and make a mess of the territory, and some people praise him for getting ahead at a young age, and all kinds of voices are different.
Luo Ming narrowed his eyes and looked around at the crowd in front of him - under his deliberate performance, that look was like a sharp sword, just a moment of looking at each other could make ordinary people tremble.
"Silence, silence! Your Lord has something to say!"
By the time the steward said this, the people had all fallen silent.
"I am your new lord, Lomin, the greatest knightly lord in this piece of Miana, and your master.
You can ask, I killed a demon a few days ago at the Baron's castle.
Therefore, you should know that I can keep you safe, but those who do not obey will be taught a severe lesson and even expelled from my territory.
I have said that if you come here and listen to me, you will receive a piece of bread.
But if you dare to wander, take a nap or talk in private, you will be taken away by the soldiers and given two lashes. ”
This whip is not a toy or a sex toy. Although it is not a weapon specifically used to take people's lives, as a widely used torture tool, it has a huge deterrent power, and a whip can make people's skin open and leave lifelong scars.
Luo Ming threatened with two whips, which was definitely not vicious - he had asked the steward before, and he had the opportunity to use the whip to beat people almost every month, one whip for laziness, and three whips for petty theft......
In this era, there are thousands of commoners who are beaten to death every year because they anger the nobles because of trivial matters, or even just the servants of the nobles.
Looking at the crowd that had become much more serious, Luo Ming said with a cold face:
"First of all I will declare a few words, which I will have carved in stone, and I will stand here, and those who obey My words will be rewarded, and those who do not obey will be punished. ”
Seriously, it's useless to reason with them.
Although the Principality is considered to be a country on the mainland that attaches more importance to education, education has definitely not spread to the fields of the countryside.
If there is anything you want to do, it is better to directly use the statement of "personal likes and dislikes" to enforce it, which is more convenient and powerful.
After all, what the noble lord wants to do, he actually discusses it with the mud legs, which will make them suspicious.
Whoever angers the noble lord will become crippled if he is not killed-this truth is the most convenient.
As he spoke, Luo Ming rubbed his hands, and then a cloud of cangyan came out.
Forgive these guys for not being able to tell the difference between cangyan and magic - there are still stories of magicians who can turn people into frogs and cook soup among the people, which is a double deterrent.
