16: High Yield World
It's already late at night when I return to the City Lord's Mansion!
A waitress came in with a basin of water and handed Aslan a towel.
"Young Master, please wipe your face first!"
Aslan took the towel, soaked it in the water, and began to wipe the sweat from his face.
During this time, she was rich, and Aunt Melia recruited two little maids to serve Aslan, but unfortunately Aslan was not interested in this kind of little Lori at all, so she naturally just regarded him as a little maid.
After wiping his face, Aslan found a stool to sit down, and he said to the Michelo butler on the side: "Grandpa Michelo, we only have a total of thirty acres of land in Flying City, these are far from enough, we must expand the scope of Flying City." ”
With a smile on his face, the housekeeper of Michelo said, "Yes! If the things grown in these farmlands are the same as those in our City Lord's Mansion, not only will the growth cycle be shortened, but the output value will also be greatly increased. The crisis that has plagued Flying City for a year can be solved. ”
Aslan smiled, "I believe it can!"
At this time, the steward of Michelo asked a question: "If the long-term cultivation of the Flying City is stopped and resumed, what proportion of the grain that comes out shall be collected?" Or is it left to the peasants in half according to the majority of the cities?"
According to the rules of this world, the things and land within the territory of a lord belong to the lord, so often the grain grown by the peasants will be handed over to the lord according to a certain proportion.
Especially the grain output in this world is so high, even if it is only half of it, it is enough to have 150 catties, and it is also two harvests a month, 300 catties of grain is enough for a family of three to live, and there is still a surplus.
Aslan thought for a while and said: "Then you go and release a message tomorrow, and say, 'Each person will receive one acre of land for every two people according to the number of people in their respective families, and all the grain produced in three months will belong to themselves, and after three months, the grain grown on each acre of land only needs to be handed over to seventy percent!'"
"Seventy percent, you're not wrong, do you let them keep thirty percent for themselves? The housekeeper of Michelo said in surprise, although it is divided between two people, but three percent of the grain can also be divided into nine hundred catties of grain per person, and this is still every month.
Aslan walked to the door and looked at the night outside, and said, "I'm not wrong! Our Flying Sky City is now in ruins, and we want to give the people of the city a good start, according to my regulations, however, I will emphasize one thing later, all the grain left by the people themselves is not allowed to be sold to others, and those who want to sell grain can only sell to us, and in the future I will establish a department dedicated to purchasing grain, and the purchase price of those grains will be calculated according to the purchase price of the market, and they will not lose a penny. If anyone is found to buy or sell grain without authorization, the farmland will be confiscated. ”
The housekeeper of Michelo hesitated a little, and expressed his worries, "In this way, although the people of the city will be very grateful for the measures taken by the city lord, we will have a lot of expenses in this way." ”
Aslan insisted: "However, this can increase their spending power! ”
"Spending power?" The Michaelo butler was still a little puzzled, and most lords were eager to move all the valuable things in their territory to their city lord's mansion. How can anyone send it out by himself like Aslan?
Aslan said: "I explain now, you don't understand, just do what I say, and you will understand later." ”
"Yes. The Butler of Michelo hesitated, but obeyed Aslan's orders.
Aslan stopped the Michelo butler who was about to leave and said, "Wait a minute, I have something to tell you." ”
"Young master, you say"
"We have a large population in the city now, and it is time to build up our army. "The most important thing for Aslan to do now is to improve the strength of Flying City, then the most basic thing is the soldiers.
Butler Michelo nodded and said, "Regarding this matter, I also want to mention it to you in the past few days, but I am too busy." ”
Aslan said: "I have a good candidate to make him the commander of the army. ”
"Oh, can the young master let me see first. ”
"That's natural, that's why I asked Grandpa Michelo to stay, you've been through a lot of things, and you need your help to check the gates. ”
Michelo smiled with satisfaction, it was obvious that what Aslan said, he was very useful, indirectly proving how much Aslan relied on him. Smack twice!
Handini, dressed in neat swordsman armor and straddling his sword at his waist, bowed respectfully to Aslan and Michelo.
"Handini has seen the lord of the castle and the steward. Handini saluted, and his eyes glanced lightly at the old and strong butler, who was the one who ventured alone with the city lord, fighting more than two hundred bandits, and guarding the Flying City.
Michelo looked at the big man in front of him, and he asked out loud, "Your name is Handini, right, how many years have you been in Flying City?" ”
"I'm from outside, I haven't fought, but the lord of the city appreciated me and asked me to be this officer, and I will be it. Handini said, his eyes filled with adoration and awe for Aslan.
Michelo could see that this Handini's loyalty to Aslan, this loyalty was not loyal to Aslan, but to Aslan alone, even if Aslan asked him to destroy Aslan in the future, he would not hesitate to go, and he would definitely become one of Aslan's most important subordinates in the future.
In those days, the most popular thing for those in power was this kind of absolute loyalty, and loyalty to their own subordinates.
Michelo nodded with satisfaction with Aslan, such an important position in the army naturally had to be responsible for his own people.
"I'm calling you this time, I want to build the Flying City's escort team, you come and be the captain!" Aslan said.
"What?" Although Handini knew that Aslan wanted him to come to the army as an officer, but he never thought of asking him to be the captain, he was immediately shocked, and he hurriedly persuaded him: "Lord of the city, this is not good, I know my ability, it is okay to be a vanguard officer who charges into battle, but the captain is definitely not good, I have no experience in marching, in case I ......"
Aslan stretched out his right hand and pressed it on Handini's shoulder, and said: "You listen to what I say, you can learn from experience, there are not many troops now, and there are not so many marching tasks for the time being, you can rest assured, these things will be taught to you slowly by the Michelian butler, you just need to obey the order." ”
At this point, Handini nodded earnestly, and secretly swore in his heart that he would never let the city lord down.
Aslan looked at Handini and said, "I now formally ask you if you are willing, for me, for the sake of Flying City, for the people of Flying City, to show your 'sword' and create a group of real warriors in Flying City." ”
Handini half-knelt on the ground excitedly and said, "Lord of the City, I, Handini, am willing to be the sword in your hand and am willing to protect our Flying City." ”
Aslan gently picked Handini up and said, "Very well, then I'll give my first order now." ”
Handini stood straight: "Handini is always at your disposal." ”
