The situation in Birch Village was quickly cleared up.

The people here make a living mainly by growing food, and occasionally sell small goods to passing merchants for extra money.

Of course, the main gain is robbery.

Yes, it's robbery.

Artimus was also surprised when he learned this.

He had thought that only the group of robbers would rob, but he didn't expect this group of villagers to do the same.

But if that's the case, then it doesn't matter what they do.

After all, this group of people can't be considered good no matter how you look at it.

Artimus and his men have made rounds around the area.

The conditions here are quite good, not far away is an open plain, if carefully cultivated, it is enough to reclaim tens of thousands of acres of good fields.

The reason why it has not been fully developed in the past is simply because of the lack of manpower and the fact that bandit bandits are entrenched here.

Of course, the opportunities brought by business travel in the past cannot be ignored.

After all, if you can rob, who wants to farm honestly.

Under this atmosphere, those who were originally down-to-earth and did their duty were gradually coerced and became difficult to get ahead.

But now it's Artimu's turn, and the rules are different.

"Gather the people in the neighborhood for me."

Yadimu looked at the terrain around him and was quite satisfied with the appearance of this area.

He then gathered the survivors of the area, confiscated the land they had past, and redistributed it.

"Points...... Divide the field? ”

When the people around them heard the news, they were all shocked.

Don't look at the nearby fields that can be cultivated, but in this era, if you want to reclaim an acre of land, it takes a huge price to pay.

Although there are no lords in the whole birch village, most of the people do not have any fields.

Most of the cultivated land was in the hands of a few chiefs.

Of course, by now, these leaders are all gone, and they were killed on the spot by Yadimu.

Before announcing the division of the land, Yadimu killed the previous head of the village in front of all the villagers.

"Not bad."

Facing the stunned and incredulous gazes of the people around him, Yadi Mu nodded his head: "These fields will be divided among you for cultivation in the future, and you only need to pay part of the field rent." ”

Because of the vast land and sparsely populated land, coupled with the backward cultivation technology, the standard for dividing the land this time was 50 mu per person, regardless of whether it was a man or a woman, as long as he was an adult.

There are about 1,000 people in the entire Birch Village, and there are about 7 or 800 people excluding the underage children.

That's three or four thousand acres of land.

But even so, Artimu still had a lot left on hand.

It can be used to give it to others later.

Of course, not all of the fields that have been allocated are cultivated well, and some of them will be mixed with some uncultivated land.

This is to bring out the energy efficiency of these people's supervisors.

As long as these fields are their own, these uncultivated areas will always slowly become fertile land in the future.

And the land is fundamental to the people of this era.

With the land, these people will settle down and obey the command and management.

"Can't be divided!"

Suddenly, a voice came from behind.

A young man rushed out of the crowd and stopped the people below: "No one can touch these fields!" ”

"Who is this?"

Yadimu looked at this man, and the expression on his face was quite calm.

"This is the village chief's son."

Someone on the side quickly gave an answer.

Gretel and the others noticed that with the appearance of this person, the people around them quickly lost their voices.

They instinctively looked at the young man, and didn't dare to squeak at all.

The prestige of the former village chief among the villagers in this area can be seen.

"Cotton."

Yadimu's voice suddenly sounded: "Kill." ”

"Yes."

Cotton stepped forward with a sinister smile and held the man down.

"What do you want to do..... No! ”

In front of the eyes of the villagers, he held the young man down and cut off his head with a knife.

A bloody human head fell to the ground, rolling around like a ball, and its face still had a hideous expression, which looked particularly ugly.

"Who else has an opinion?"

Yadimu looked ahead with interest: "While I'm still here, let's stand up quickly." ”

"I'm in a hurry."

The people around him stopped talking, just staring at Yadimu with fearful eyes.

"Don't talk anymore, do you?"

Yadimu sighed: "Then I'll talk about it." ”

"The former village chief and sheriff, and those related to them, please come forward automatically."

He rode a horse, looked at the black head in front of him, and said: "Now stand up yourself, I promise not to pursue anything." ”

There was a moment of silence.

No one spoke at all.

This is quite normal.

People are all seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, and seeing that the village chief's children have fallen into that fate, they naturally dare not come out again.

Who knows what will happen when you stand up?

Ten seconds passed silently, and there was still silence all around.

Yadimu sighed: "It seems that you are not willing to cooperate. ”

"Then let me put it another way."

"From now on, you are free to identify people who are related to the sheriff as the former village chief is."

"For every one you designate, you get these things."

He gestured to the side.

There was already a whole bag of wheat piled up there, which looked like it weighed at least a few dozen pounds.

This is a big temptation for ordinary villagers living in poverty.

And what is more critical is the subsequent sentence of Artimu.

"Within three minutes, if less than ten are identified, then each family will randomly select one to die for them."

The calm words fell.

The faces of the people everywhere suddenly changed drastically.

Arya looked up and looked at Yatemu in some amazement.

At this moment, she suddenly felt that the other party was a little strange.

Can such a cruel order be said so easily?

She was incredulous.

But cruelty is cruelty, and the effect is indeed very effective.

No one doubted that Artimus would dare to make a move.

The human head from before was still lying on the ground, and the eyes full of resentment were still there.

Soon, they got into action.

People are like that, when it's not about themselves, no one wants to come forward, but when it comes to themselves, it's a different story.

"He's the sheriff's lover, and I've seen them with my own eyes!"

"This is the illegitimate son of the village chief."

"And he, who used to be the village chief's subordinate, helped the village chief do a lot of bad things........."

One voice after another.

Everyone scrambled to speak, for fear that there would not be enough to make up the number of ten.

After all, if there weren't enough of ten people, the knife would have to cut at themselves.

When the sword is added, no one will be indifferent.

Sailor walked in front of him, counting them one by one.

As for Cotton, he took his old brother there to arrest people and tie them up one by one.

The enthusiasm of the crowd was so hot that it soon became clear that the number of people had already exceeded ten.

Not only more than ten, but more than thirty or forty.

The enthusiasm that erupted from people in order to survive was enormous.

Of course, there are also many ideas that break the jar and break it, and do it directly to the end.

After all, by now, they must have offended this group of people, in this case, it is better to offend them directly.

Otherwise, if they are allowed to live, God knows what will happen to them in the future.

With this in mind, their actions became more and more active.

In the end, even the unrelated relationship that had been seen by the village chief's house and begged for food in the past was said, which made Sailuo and the others on the side a little speechless.

If this is really calculated, I'm afraid there will be more than 100 people.

Yadimu looked at the list and then picked ten people from it.

"That's all."

He handed the list to Cotton.

Yadimu was not prepared to expand, so he only killed a few immediate male relatives and people with deep stakes.

Some relationships such as lovers are naturally let go.

There aren't many people in the entire Birch Village, and if you kill too many, won't it be Yadimu himself who will suffer in the end?

Ten people is no more, no less, and it is just right.

Kill these ten people, and in the interior of Birch Village, the influence of the previous leaders can be minimized, giving Yadimu a clean village.

This is also considered to be a good cleaning house, and then it is good to have a treat.

After that, Yadimu also plans to bring some relatives of the members of the Shaman Gang to this place one after another, so that they can slowly enrich the area.

After the division of the fields, there were still many fields in his hands, many of which were fertile fields that had been reclaimed near the water source, and it was a pity not to use them.

It's a lot of money back and forth.

Not bad, earned.

For the harvest of this trip, Yadimu is quite satisfied.

Then he turned around and found that the people of Sailo were looking at him not far away.

There was anticipation in their eyes.

Yadimu immediately understood what they meant, so he smiled: "Don't worry, you will have it too." ”

"After settling this group of people first, it will naturally be our turn."

Only then did the Sailo people rest assured.

For the old subordinates who followed him, Yadimu naturally would not forget.

After that, anyone within the Shaman Gang who meets certain conditions can get a certain amount of land.

Of course, the people who got the land in front of us did not take it for nothing.

After taking Atim's acres, they also had the obligation to contribute to Atim, and after that, they had to train in the slack and help Atim fight together if necessary.

This is the simple way of militia.

At the cost of the land, Artimus hired these men to do their own thing.

At least for a short period of time, Yadimu can quickly gain a group of living forces.

"Let's get started."

With Yatemu nodding, the activities of the field division continued.

This time, the division of land is based on 50 acres for men and 20 acres for women.

The old man and the child each have ten acres.

In other words, if a family has two elderly people and two children, plus the husband and wife themselves, they can directly get hundreds of acres of land.

That's a pretty good perk.

That is, the vicinity has not yet been cultivated, and the number of fields is enough to withstand such a division.

Otherwise, there are some problems.

When dividing the field, there was Sailo who took someone to write the voucher in person, and it was in duplicate as a voucher, and it was easy to manage if there was a dispute afterwards.

It's free.

For this work alone, Artimu was busy for three days.

Three days later, Artimus began to organize people to start production.

At this moment, it is the season of grain sowing, although it is a little late, but it is also agricultural time.

Yatimu had a batch of seeds from the city of Lima and give them to every family.

Of course, this is just a loan, and it will definitely have to be repaid later.

It took a lot of time to get these things done.

This left Artimu a little speechless.

He obviously came to kill people and exterminate the group of robbers, why did he start to organize production for some reason?

That wasn't what he intended.

In the final analysis, it is because of the scarcity of talents.

If he had a little more people who could do things, then he could have handed over the matter to others and led people over to destroy the bandits.

Instead of being completely hands-free as it is now.

But no matter what, Artimus was going to leave after all.

The Birch Bandits, the very existence of this bandit group is a great threat to the place.

If you don't get rid of them, you won't be able to do it well.

That's for sure.

So after another few days of delay in the local area, he and his men began to continue their journey, to the location of the bandits.

The bandit group had chosen a good location, it was on a hill, and it seemed to be easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it was difficult to get up.

But this is not a problem for Yadimu and the others.

With local guides who are familiar with the terrain, they easily spare it and outflank it directly from the trail.

When they arrived at the bandit camp, Artimus was amazed.

"So easy?"

He looked at the sparse line in front of him, and his face couldn't help but show a little strangeness.

It had now been several days since he had arrived in Hanamu Village before.

But the bandit group here still seems to be calm, and looks quite slack.

Is this not a message at all?

That's not right.

This place is so close to Birch Village, Adim doesn't believe that everyone has not reacted to the changes in Birch Village, so he must have noticed something, right?

Or do they notice the change, but don't care at all?

Yadimu thought it could be a big deal.

So he thought for a moment, then moved on.

Lorcan led his mountain hunters into a squad of archers and took the lead in attacking.

The gate was quickly breached.

By this time, the entire bandit group still didn't seem to react.

Most of them are still lying inside, not going out.

When Adimu led the men to kill, all these people were scattered and scattered.

Lorcan and Cotton rushed over.

Glitter led several squad leaders in command.

Soon, the battle was over.

The leader of this place was captured, and the whole process ended with great ease.

"You're the new leader here?"

Artimu looked at the man in front of him.

Standing in front of him was a burly middle-aged man.
