Wild West

The golden wheat fields are shaking golden wheat, countless farmers are industriously sitting on their crops, and not far away is a group of soldiers patrolling the fields.

It had been a month since the demise of the Brotherhood of Defia, and the sporadic riots that had been stirred up in the western wilderness had quickly subsided.

Lu En rode around the territory on a robed military horse, and the people who toiled the land began to work incessantly, not caring at all about the patrolling soldiers.

Lu En looked at the blue ocean and fell into deep thought, after the demise of the Brotherhood of Defia, Lu En's army had completely taken control of the Western Wilderness, and the recovery of Mooncreek continued.

Working in the golden wheat fields were naturally the members of the Brotherhood of Defia, who sat in the fields every day after the fall of the Brotherhood of Defia.

"My lord, these serfs are too inefficient to work. Dewey grumbled.

Lu En looked at the group of serfs not far away, only when the army led by Lu En was nearby, this group of serfs would work hard, and the other farther away were the serfs who were lazy on the side.

When Dewey saw Lu frowning, he hurriedly jumped down from his horse, pulled out the whip from his waist, and then slammed it on the serf in the wheat field.

"You lazy bones, you are lazy in front of Lord Earl!" Dewey started very quickly, and almost instantly drew a blood mark on the serf's body.

"Oops, oops, stop fighting. "The serfs got up from the ground and began to work incessantly.

Lu En frowned and said, "Okay, stop fighting." ”

Hearing this, Dewey stopped the whip in his hand, looked at Lu En in front of him and said, "My lord, these lazy bones know how to be lazy, and they don't know how to work if they don't whip them twice." ”

Lu En jumped down from his horse and looked at the serf not far away, only to see a few more blood marks on the serf's body, if he could not stop bleeding as soon as possible, then the serf could only die of malnutrition in the winter.

"Margaret, treat this serf. Lu En gave the order.

He looked around and saw that the serfs around him had begun to work hard under the threat of Dewey's whip, which was not a good thing.

Dewey said: "These serfs are just bones, and after a while they forget about them." ”

"We have to hit them regularly so that they always know what happens if they are lazy. ”

Lu En frowned slightly, he walked to the serf's side and asked, "Do you want to be free?"

The serf cowered and didn't dare to look at Lu En, he said tremblingly, "Of course I want to." ”

Lu En stood up, let go of his voice and shouted, "From today onwards, you don't have to be whipped!"

"I declare that no soldier can whip you. ”

There was a burst of singing around them, these serfs had been whipped by too many soldiers during this time, and they couldn't help but be very happy when they heard that Lu En had abolished this decree.

Dewey hurriedly said, "My lord, this will not work, they will not be able to work without whipping." ”

Lu En said with a smile: "I now declare that although you are now serfs, you can take one-third of the crops in the field every month, and you only need to earn 5 gold coins to become a free citizen, and then you have the right of first refusal to buy the land around you." ”

After Lu En finished speaking, a sound of celebration erupted in the surrounding farmland, and then he turned to Margaret beside him and said, "Write it down, and release this document later." ”

Lu En turned to look at Dewey beside him and said, "Dewey, you have disappointed me so much, you govern the country with all whips." ”

"My genius idea is not only that you don't have to send soldiers to patrol around here, but that these serfs will also work hard, it's just a decree. ”

Dewey lowered his head, blushed and said, "However, they will still revert to their free bodies." ”

"How many farmers can be hired for five gold coins!" Lu En said slowly, "Besides, if they want to be free, then they have to work hard so that we can get more food." ”

"In this way, the serfs can work more happily, the knights are very fond of gold, and we do not have to send soldiers to patrol, all of which are the brainies of mine to facilitate this. Lu En said this sentence in one breath: "By the way, Dewey, how to solve the problem of road construction in the western wilderness." ”

Dewey blushed and lowered his head: "I want these surrounding knights and serfs to work in the slack time, so that they don't have to spend money." ”

"Originally, I was going to hire the construction team of Stormwind City, but the price was unaffordable. ”

Lu En took a deep breath: "Let the nearby serfs and soldiers build roads when they are free, I don't have so much money to build roads for the time being." ”

Margaret, who was standing on the side, hurriedly said: "My lord, according to our information in the Valley of Thorns just now, that group of trolls has stopped making noise, and they seem to have admitted that a certain troll is the leader of the war alliance, but we don't know who it is. ”

Lu En smiled and said, "Most likely it's the Blood Lord Mandokir. ”

"But these trolls are nothing more than worms, and I can wipe them out with my hand, and if they don't open their eyes to us and get angry at us, they will only be able to wail in the blades and flames. ”

After Lu En said this, he looked at Margaret behind him, and then said slowly: "I want to make myself a duke, what do you think, my current territory is definitely bigger than the land of any nobleman in Stormwind City." ”

Margaret took a deep breath: "My lord, this is absolutely impossible, Stormwind City will not put up with your self-proclaimed knighthood again, you have already walked through the fire pit last time." ”

"Now go on, someone will ask where the end of your ambition is, what will happen in that case?"

"What's more, the duke is a false name, why bother for a false name...... Know that Stormwind has a handle, such as talking about the undead. Margaret lowered her voice, and the last word "undead" was very soft.

Lu En snorted coldly and said, "If Stormwind City were a normal government, I wouldn't dare to call myself a duke, but is Stormwind City a normal country?"

"What do I call myself, can Stormwind bring troops to fight it? Is Stormwind's political situation enough to send troops to the Wild West?"

"I used to call myself an earl, and now I call myself a duke, as long as I have the strength, I'm not afraid that Stormwind City won't admit it. ”

Margaret said hurriedly, "But Stormwind City has two thousand knights and thirty thousand elite warriors!!"

"Our strength is no match for Stormwind. ”

Lu En said angrily: "I alone am worth 20,000 people!! Why do you want to say these words that make others want to destroy their own prestige. ”

"I'm calling myself Duke this afternoon, I'd like to see if Stormwind dares to lift the table and fight me!"
