Chapter 57: The Neck Ze Man
Take the stubborn Arya, who has no temper in Lynn, and chooses to go out for a walk.
He changed into a coarse cloth garment, and the squire Hood dressed modestly, while the master and servant wandered the streets of the castle.
Recently, because of the teaching of Duncan and Shifu, two swordsmanship masters.
Some basic swordsmanship is also very handy.
On weekdays, Lynn always carries the short knife of the sick 'Traveler' Vary.
A weapon full of quality, coupled with his handsome appearance and slender physique, he has a fierce temperament that exudes from the inside out.
Lynn left the golden pig in the mansion with strict guards, and Lynn didn't plan to take it out with him recently.
Lynn walked down the street.
Look up at the newly opened tavern at the fork in the street.
The store is a new two-story wooden structure, and the exterior decoration is fairly clean.
Walk to the door of the tavern and look inside the open door of the tavern.
found that there were many female guests sitting inside.
Lynn couldn't help but straighten her chest, stroked her chin with the skillful movements of the nobleman, and then stubbled a little, while giving a quick glance at the diners in the tavern.
This gaze that spreads around like a fishing net is exactly what his handsome boy is good at.
Sure enough, the ladies had raised their heads and looked at him.
A few women who came with their families subconsciously tidied up their clothes and shoes, and quietly smoothed out the sloppy dresses.
However, they were soon disappointed.
The young and handsome man had no intention of stepping into the tavern door.
Outside the restaurant, Lynn stopped.
Looking at the lively scene in the tavern inside, I wondered if I should start the taxation of business behavior as the population of the town gradually grew.
Lynn was aware of the current tax situation in her realm.
In addition to the titheflower tax for fishermen in the territory, there is only the land fee for building houses and occupying land.
The tax income per month is only about 4 or 50 silver deer.
However, in places of abundance such as the Riverlands.
The peasants in the lord's land are also obliged to cultivate the lord's land, and only after completing the lord's land cultivation can they spend time cultivating their own land.
Moreover, the power of most of the lords of Westeros is not only reflected in the land.
Where there is a large number of people, they will tax the business activities in their territory, which is the only way for the lord to become rich.
If you can have a stable income from business tax in the future.
This would be a good sign.
He continued walking, intending to check out a newly opened bakery in front of him.
However, a commotion caught his attention.
Some people gathered in front of the bulletin board at the city gate, arguing about something.
The noise spread far and wide.
Lynn, a little confused, led the leader of the guards, Hood, forward.
An attendant who had just been recruited and was maintaining order recognized him from a distance as his immediate boss, the head of the guards, Hood.
He trotted over and saluted.
Lynn quietly gave Hood a look.
"What's going on up ahead?" Hood asked.
With apprehension on his face, the attendant said to Hood: "Lord Chief, those people are arguing in order to rush to open up the Three Sisters Islands, you don't want to arrange for a person to help watch the bulletin board, if this continues, those people are afraid that they will tear up the announcement letter." ”
When Hu De heard this, he immediately said angrily: "Dare, is this group of untouchables so bold?"
"Ouch, my lord, don't you know, recently there have been a lot of outsiders in our town, and some of them have moved from their families in Neckze, and now the lord has only arranged for refugees from the river land to reclaim the desert island, and many people have heard that the land there is very fertile, and there are not a few people who have moved their minds. ”
Lynn frowned when she heard this.
Of course, it is not compulsory labor to open up a desert island, and the price Lynn gives is that for every ten hectares of land cultivated, one hectare will be rewarded to the reclamation refugees.
It seems that these people will covet this land.
Hood, the leader of the guards, carefully observed his words and looks, and saw Lynn's displeasure.
But he hesitated for a moment, wanting to open his mouth, but he felt that he couldn't make up his mind about this matter as a guard, and he didn't know what to do for a while.
Lynn pondered for a moment and asked the attendant in front of her.
"You said that there were a lot of people in Neck, what's going on, why haven't I heard of it?"
The waiter's face was a little hesitant, "This ......"
Hood stretched out his leg and kicked him, "Lord Lord, if you have something to say, don't talk about it." ”
"Yes," the squire swallowed nervously. "My lord, these people have only been here in the past few days, and I heard that they were seized by a wave of iron people who poured into Neck, and they also drove local civilians to help them build fortifications, so many Neckze aborigines fled in all directions to the north. ”
"Oh, are you sure of this? Also, how many people do you think we have been here recently?"
The attendant bowed and saluted. "My lord, my subordinates estimated that there were 7 or 80 people, and many of them were children. By the way, they all came one after another, and there were only a few people who came before, but later, I heard that the lord was going to expand the territory, and the follow-up talents came one after another, and I am afraid that there will be several batches later. ”
Hood's face was not very good-looking.
It seems that these have a certain organizational ability, and if the fishing village port is flooded in, there will be too many unemployed people from outside, but it will greatly disrupt the local order.
He interjected and asked, "These people want to work, just go to the lord's mansion and find Dani's housekeeper to apply, why are they gathering here to make a noise?"
"Your Excellency, Chief...... The announcement letter from Master Hill made it clear that there were only 300 people who cultivated the land, which was just enough for the number of refugees in the Riverlands, and there were enough craftsmen in charge of building the houses. ”
Lynn didn't listen to the two muttering.
His mind had drifted elsewhere.
He wondered, how did the Iron Islanders start invading the neck with such fanfare so early?
Robb's Northern Army has not yet lost, could it be that the plot has accelerated?
He looked at the crowd still arguing at the billboard.
Thoughtfully.
After a while, he took a breath and said to the guard, Hood, "Go back and count them, and see how many young men, women, children, and children there are from the refugees from the riverland, and these people from the neck." ”
"My lord, what?"
Lynn said coldly, "Since you have chosen to settle down in the fishing village port, the Tuwei family will naturally have their share, and let Dani go back and arrange more women, children and the elderly to open up wasteland and farm land, and the men have men's affairs." ”
"Your Excellency, are you going to recruit a new army from among these people?"
"New Army? I'm afraid these people won't be able to hold swords and spears for the time being, so let Duncan and Shifu select a group of people and train them first. Subsequently, if the Xiaocai regiment is reorganized, it will be possible to see that these people will be supplemented, even as a logistics force. ”
Lynn's voice was cold, and Hood understood.
He turned his head to look at the crowd gathered at the bulletin board and asked, "So, what about these people, my lord?"
Lynn snorted coldly, "Let the wounded soldiers of the Xiao Cavalry Regiment be added to the patrol and send additional manpower to patrol the territory." Those who make trouble will be dealt with severely. ”
Lynn had no intention of continuing to wander around,
Return to the mansion.
I happened to receive a reply from White Harbor City.
