Chapter 36: A New Decree

The fact that Casio has taken control of the entire town of Greenwater is known to almost only the upper echelons, and life doesn't seem to have changed much for the townspeople of Greenwater. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

But today, as long as they are not inseparable from their work, they have gathered in the large square in front of the town hall.

And the reason why these townspeople gathered in the square in front of the town hall was simply not Casio's prestige, nor was it Casio who asked Agaret to force them to come.

Instead, Casio had people report to the town two days in advance that everyone who came to the square in front of the town hall today to participate in the event would receive two pieces of bread.

For these poor townspeople, neither the majesty of your lord nor the oppression of force is as tempting as the food that you can actually get your hands on.

Therefore, these townspeople are dragging their families, and if it weren't for the animals and domestic animals, Casio estimates that they would bring their own domestic animals to fill the number, and their enthusiasm is really unprecedentedly high.

In order to maintain order in the square, Casio mobilized almost all the guards he could use, and Yari and other recruits stood neatly around the square to help maintain order.

Of course, if the training wooden sword on their waist is replaced with a real sword, I believe it will be more majestic and intimidating!

It's not that Casio is unwilling to equip them with real swords, but the weapons and equipment he customized to Douglas have not yet been shipped.

Casio stood by the window on the second floor of the city hall, watching the crowd surging below, estimating that the time was almost up, and accompanied by Agaret and others, he walked downstairs.

With Casio's appearance, these townspeople didn't have that kind of cheering and screaming, but basically everyone, their eyes were still focused on Casio.

After all, for them, being able to see the true face of His Royal Highness a prince is definitely a good conversation after seeing tea and dinner.

Casio slowly stepped onto the small high platform that had been set up in advance, his eyes scanning the crowd, and there was a long-lost sense of tension in his heart.

Coughing lightly, Casio took a deep breath to suppress the tension, and then said loudly to all the townspeople: "Hello, I am your new lord from now on, the third in line to the heir of the Duchy of Dolan, Casio Kersma. ”

There was no applause, no cheers, Casio smacked his lips in embarrassment, it stands to reason that every speech should be thunderous after introducing itself?

Putting this inexplicable thought behind him, Casio continued, "You must be wondering why I'm here today. Actually, as the new lord, I would like to meet with my people. ”

It would have been a good opening, but after Casio finished speaking, he felt like he couldn't go on, because the townsfolk were still looking at him numbly, as embarrassing as they were.

Even in the whole square, there was a slight commotion, and it was clear that the townspeople did not have a sense of discipline.

Although this was expected for a long time, Casio still had a faint sense of frustration.

He has also read the novel, but why has he not seen the scene in the novel where the lord raises his arms and the people echo loudly?

Sure enough, there is still a gap between people!

Putting aside the distractions, Casio continued in this rather dry environment: "I asked you to come here today, not only to have food to take, but also to announce to you some of my latest revised decrees. ”

Originally, the townspeople's eyes lit up when they heard that there was indeed food, but when they turned their heads and heard Casio's decree to be revised, they lowered their heads one after another, their eyes full of nervousness.

For them, civilians, previous experience has taught them that almost every time a decree is changed, nothing good happens.

Although Casio's reputation in Greenwater during this time was not bad, these commoners' deep knowledge of the nobility still made them not expect much from Casio's new decree.

Casio didn't care what the townspeople thought, so he continued: "First of all, the first one is about the grain in the fields. From today, all the old decrees will be abolished. In the future, all the lords who cultivated the land could leave two floors as private property, except for enough food for their own consumption, and the rest would be handed over to the city hall. ”

Casio paused and observed the townsfolk who had gradually turned their attention to it, and then continued: "The quota of the ration is calculated according to the number of people per household who cultivates or works, and the specific quota will be indicated in the detailed measures of the town hall in the future. ”

After saying this, Casio did not continue, but waited for the townsfolk to digest it.

He believes that this new farming system will definitely arouse the enthusiasm of the townspeople.

You know, before that, because all the fields around Greenwater Town that could be cultivated were under the control of nobles such as Baron Dai Sven, the townspeople who cultivated were more like slaves with so-called lease agreements.

Because Baron Dai Sven only left one layer of food for these townspeople each time, and the rest went into their own pockets.

As a result, all families who work mainly in agriculture starve to death every year due to lack of food.

Casio's new system, however, only collects excess food when it ensures that they all have enough food for themselves.

And in order to ensure that these people will not only produce enough food for their families every year because of slackness, Casio also gave them the condition that the surplus food can be divided into two layers.

This is like a person who works for the boss at the beginning, and is tired and tired all day long, and in the end he can't get a penny, and there is a high possibility that he will starve to death.

But now, their bosses have implemented a new policy, which is that not only will you not starve to death, but you will also get a share of the profits for the extra part of your labor.

Which one is more tempting, you can see it at a glance!

Casio's first new policy made these townspeople stunned for a long time, and finally someone reacted, their faces flushed with excitement, and shouted Casio's name loudly.

With someone taking the lead, more people immediately shouted loudly one after another, and the entire square was an unprecedented warm scene.

Casio nodded with satisfaction, feeling that he had arranged so many tories in advance, and it was really a good choice!

In fact, Casio intended that the ownership of the land would gradually be transferred to these townspeople. It's just that before that, he still needs to implement it step by step.

After all, the world has been in that state of exploitation for I don't know how many years, and suddenly someone begins to challenge this system, and not only the beneficiaries of this system will follow him, but also the beneficiaries of the new system, and I am afraid that they will not fully agree with it for a while.

He needs a relatively long, steady transition to make the transition feel reasonable to everyone, not just a simple favor!

At the same time, it is estimated that the enlightenment and enlightenment education of the mass foundation must also be carried out simultaneously in order to achieve Casio's vision.

Otherwise, if Casio is not there one day, it is estimated that someone will implement this kind of exploitation system again, and these townspeople will only miss how kind Casio, the former lord, is, and will not notice the essence of the problem at all.

After the first new decree was read, the mood of the townspeople was undoubtedly high, and they finally saw anticipation in those numb eyes.

And then, every time Casio reads a decree, the townspeople will be excited, and one by one they will feel that they are not dreaming.

Of course, Casio's decrees are fine-tuned on the basis of the original, so that these townspeople can really benefit, and no one will find an excuse to attack him from these decrees.

Because in the world of Gruea, the decrees of most regions are a mixture of state and lord decrees.

The decree of the state is higher than the decree of the lord, and the decree of the lord is the counterweight of the decree of the state!
