Alan had already spoken in public a few times, and was no longer nervous looking at the crowd below as he did at the beginning.

"My name is Alan Senlan, the Baron of the Kingdom, the Lord of Huaxia, and in the future, I will also be your Lord. ”

Alan first introduced himself. Pointing out his identity as a baron is not for Allen to show off, but to make the people trust him more. In the eyes of ordinary civilians, the Baron of the Kingdom is a great man.

"You may not know that there has recently been a rebellious kingdom in the area of Nice City, the Blue Shirts. This Blue Shirt army wantonly attacked the kingdom's territory, and half of the territory in the city of Nice has already been captured by the Blue Shirts!"

Allen's words caused an uproar among the civilians in the audience, who only now knew that the area of Nice City was in chaos.

Nearly half of the territory has fallen into the hands of traitors!

"And Lord Spike, Lord of Folkestone, as a baron of the kingdom, does not want to serve the kingdom, but instead takes refuge in the traitor Blue Shirts, this kind of behavior is simply an unforgivable sin!"

"I was ordered by the Kingdom to crusade against the Fox Stone, and I have now killed Spike, the thief. From today, Fox Stone Collar is officially merged into Huaxia Ling. ”

"From today onwards, the Folkestone Territory will cease to exist, and you will officially become the subjects of the Huaxia Territory. ”

There is a cheer from the crowd, and the people say that a thief like Spike is innocent.

"However, the current situation is not optimistic. ”

Alan continued.

"The Blue Shirts may attack our territory at any time, and the Blue Shirts can capture nearly half of the territory in the Nice City area in just a few days. ”

"And the soldiers of the Blue Shirts are all extremely vicious, killing people like hemp, burning and looting everywhere they go. If you want to survive this rebellion of the Blue Shirts, please cooperate with the arrangement of the territory. ”

Allen is deliberately blackening the Blue Shirts, making the people of Folkestone feel a kind of pressure from the Blue Shirts, so that they can be more obedient to Allen's management.

Sure enough, when the people heard Allen's words, they all showed fear on their faces, and they all expressed their willingness to obey any arrangement of the lord.

The image of the Blue Shirts as cruel and murderous has initially taken root in their hearts.

"Today, I'm announcing three main things!" said Allen.

"First, the name of the town has officially changed from Folkestone Town to Fengyun Town from today. ”

The name change was a matter of indifference, but Alan really didn't like the name Folkestone, so he simply changed the name. As for why it was changed to Fengyun Town, it was because this was the first town captured by Huaxia Ling, which represented Huaxia Ling's official entry into this unpredictable and troubled world.

People naturally don't have any opinions on changing the name of the town, although the name is a bit of a twist for the Harirans, like the Huaxia Ling.

"Second, all miscellaneous taxes in the territory will be abolished, and only two kinds of taxes will be levied in the temporary territory, the agricultural tax and the commercial tax. Those who engage in agriculture shall pay agricultural tax, and the tax rate shall be 1 in 10 taxes. Those who do business pay commercial tax, and the tax rate is five taxes and one tax. ”

When the people heard Allen's words, they all froze in place.

This is a bit different from what Allen thought, and Allen thought that after the announcement of the news, the people would shout loudly.

Because the tax rate set by Allen is too low.

In this world, a lord who sets the tax rate to three out of ten is already a very benevolent lord, and the tax rate of most territories is more than fifty percent!

The nobles were like a group of vampires who exploited the people's fat and ointment on the commoners, and the commoners in most of the territory could only barely survive. The more remote the small territory, the more so.

Alan inquired in the morning, and the previous tax rate of Fox Stone was two taxes and one tax!

"My lord, what you said is true?"

In the crowd, an old man on crutches asked tremblingly.

It's not that they're not excited, but they're incredulous! On the mainland, they've never heard of a lord setting such a low tax rate!

Even if Allen sets the tax rate at three out of ten, they will all be grateful to Allen.

Alan nodded: "I vouch in the name of the nobles, no jokes!"

"Long live your lord!"

"Long live Huaxia Ling!"

The people below were affirmed by Allen, and immediately cheered loudly.

The tax revenue has been changed from two taxes to one ten, which means that they will have more food and money to keep for their own use, and their living standards will improve significantly.

Ordinary civilians don't have big ambitions, what they need is very simple, to live better!

Through the territorial attribute panel of the system, Alan found that the hearts of the residents of Fengyun Town instantly rose a notch.

This is also because Alan has just announced the news, and the residents still have doubts in their hearts. When this tax plan is really implemented, Allen believes that the people's hearts will usher in another leap.

Alan waited for the crowd to calm down before announcing the third thing.

"Third, the territory will start recruiting soldiers from today, and men between the ages of sixteen and forty, regardless of whether you have the talent for cultivation or not, as long as you are in good health, can sign up to join the army. After joining the army, family members can enjoy the treatment of military dependents. ”

"The treatment of military dependents includes full exemption from agricultural tax, halving of commercial tax, and priority protection and evacuation treatment in wartime......"

Alan said a bunch of military family treatments, which made the eyes of the people below light up.

Compared with ordinary civilians, this military family is simply a privileged class, although the privilege is not as obvious as that of the aristocracy.

Suddenly, all the young adults who were qualified to join the army had the idea of joining the army to fight for the privileges of their families.

Alan watched the crowd's reaction and smiled slightly. He believed that when the territory was officially recruited, the men of appropriate age in the territory would definitely rush to sign up for the army.

This speech was not long, and after saying these three things, Allen asked the people to disband.

At the end of the show, the people present were very excited one by one, and hurried home to share the good news they heard today with their families.

"My lord, where are we going next?"

After the crowd dispersed, Galen asked.

"Go to the barracks, I want to meet the soldiers. ”

If soldiers recruited from the population still need to be trained or converted through light infantry battalions, then these surrenders can be used immediately.

Alan rushed to the barracks under the leadership of Galen and Svein, but was stopped by a group of civilians on the way.

Most of these civilians were old men and women, and when they saw Allen, they were excited.

"Lord Lord, you are so merciful, please spare our children!"

"Merciful lord, York has been an obedient child since he was a child, if he knew that the Folkestone family was a traitor, he would never do anything for the tiger!"

"Yes, Lord Lord, how can these children have the audait to rebel? they are all deceived by the Folkestone family, and they don't know it!"

The old men stopped Alan and wept bitterly, crying and interceding for their children.

Alan was confused at first, but after listening to a few words, he realized that these people should be the parents of the imprisoned soldiers.

"Everyone, be quiet!"

Eren raised his arms and shouted.

The old men stopped, and looked at Alan with hopeful eyes.

Alan patted his head with his hand, and he couldn't stand this kind of gaze and this atmosphere the most.

Not to mention that he didn't think about executing the soldiers led by Foxstone, even if he really decided to execute them, when these old men looked at them with this kind of gaze, they would probably change their minds.

"Rest assured, old people, as long as your children are willing to surrender, I promise not to hurt them in the slightest. ”

When the old people heard Allen's assurance, they immediately relieved their hearts, surrounded Allen and talked nonsense.

"Don't worry, lord, you are so merciful, if these stinky boys don't know what to do, you tell us, let's teach them a hard lesson!"

"That's it, that's it, lord, if those boys are disobedient, you tell us, and we'll teach them a good lesson!"

Galen and Svein looked at these old people who wantonly surrounded Allen, but their brows furrowed.

Alan smiled helplessly, in the end, these old people are still afraid that their children will not surrender and will be killed by themselves, this is to tell themselves in advance, if their children refuse to surrender, come and tell them, they will persuade.

After Alan once again promised that he would never kill anyone, these old men dispersed, and when they dispersed, they were grateful to Alan again.

"Your lord, your attitude towards these people is a little too kind. ”

After the old people left, Svein said.

"You are a lord, you are your people, you can be kind to them, but you cannot indulge them, and you do not need to promise them anything. ”

"This kind of behavior of stopping the lord halfway must be resolutely put an end to! Otherwise, whoever has something in the future will stop the lord halfway to avenge his grievances, what is it like. ”

Alan scratched his head and sighed: "Hey, I also understand these truths, but these old people are not easy. ”

"Pity the hearts of parents all over the world!"

Svein smiled and said no more.

However, Svein has already made a decision in his heart that he must find an opportunity to do something in the future to make the lord change and get rid of the problem of "kindness".

Because of blind kindness, sometimes it will hurt yourself!

(When I got home at night, I had a fever, so I tried it with a thermometer, and it was just 38 degrees.)

I fell asleep after taking a shower, but woke up with a splitting headache.

Struggling to finish the chapter, I hurried to bed.

If you find any typos in this chapter, logical confusing sentences, unclear content and other things, you will look at it first, and change it tomorrow.

Thank you all for your support!)
