Early the next morning, Willy, Clyde and Brian each led forty soldiers back to the Pirka Collar, obviously did not catch up with the group of bandits, Li Yunyang, who got up early in the morning, looked at the depressed people, and had already expected this result, and after letting them go back to rest, they hurriedly walked in the direction of the lobby.

"What's wrong?" Li Yunyang asked with concern, but he was still ashamed to say this father.

"These brutes have almost robbed them of their food!" Hubert didn't stop, and said angrily to Li Yunyang: "I didn't even let go of the children! Most of them were taken captive, and many people died!"

"What should I do then?" After being silent for a while, Li Yunyang found that he actually didn't know anything except spending money! In the past few days since he took over the territory, he has been a complete hands-off shopkeeper, and Hubert is still helping him support him.

"Is there a way, do I still need to be like this here!" Hubert became more irritable when Li Yunyang asked.

"It's not like nothing like this before, but those are all petty fights, and most of those bandits will only attack a village, and then they will run away, but this time, they can actually take advantage of this gap and sweep the entire territory! If it weren't for their luck, then they must have been a traitor!"

"You know, when a person is hungry and has no choice, he can do anything! The villagers are no exception!" Hubert seemed to suddenly think of something, turned to Li Yunyang and said: "Allen, all my money is in an iron box in the study, if there is really a riot that cannot be controlled, you will leave here immediately with the money! The farther you go, the better, and never come back!"

Again. Li Yunyang scratched his ears gently, he didn't dare to sue Hubert now, he had already spent his savings for more than 20 years for him. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in Li Yunyang's mind: "By the way, isn't our warehouse full of grain......

"You're crazy!" Before Li Yunyang could finish speaking, Hubert interrupted him: "These are the taxes paid to the Baron, if there is a mistake, not only will our lives be at risk, but it will even involve the soldiers and these servants in the entire territory!"

"Why don't you just order food, let's solve the urgent need in front of us first, and then we will work together to plant it back and make up for it......"

"Food! This thing is worth more than gold coins in the world, you can say it so easily!" Looking at his son who didn't understand anything, Hubert could only sigh, and said to Li Yunyang seriously: "The whole continent is rampant with demonic beasts, mountains and forests, and the only bit of empty land is the land cultivated by the people, and these lands belong to the prince, he just leases them to his people to cultivate, but the annual tax goes through the duke, marquis, earl, viscount, The layers of exploitation by the barons and knight lords, the food that flows into the prince's pocket will naturally not change, but the burden on the people is getting heavier and heavier!"

"Coupled with those unpredictable droughts, floods, and insect infestations, farmers in almost every place can only keep enough food in their hands every year!

"What if there are peasants who can't even pay their taxes...... What will you do?" Li Yunyang seemed to have found a bug, looked at Hubert and asked.

"In every territory above the viscounty, there will be a slave trading market, and the higher you go, the bigger it becomes. Hubert shook his head slightly, looked at his innocent son and said, "Half of these slaves are farmers who have been dragged into slavery because they can't pay their taxes. ”

"Half, and what about the other half? Where did it come from?"

"Prisoners of war, criminals, nobles who have had their homes raided for their crimes, families of merchants who can't afford to pay their debts, and some unlucky wanderers who have been caught halfway just to get enough of them. ”

"Is there really no way?" Li Yunyang imagined the picture described by Hubert, and his heart suddenly went to the bottom, isn't this just a living ancient Roman society!

"Not only that, but the children who were taken away were also a big problem. In addition to our mission to protect the safety and production of the territory, the most important point is to ensure the development of the labor force in the territory, and now those children have been captured, which means that it will not be many years before the entire Pirka territory will lose its original labor productivity and the number of conscripts for the empire, and if such a thing happens, even the baron in charge of us will be implicated in this matter!"

The more Hubert spoke, the more excited he became, and in the end he almost roared out, scratching his hair vigorously, Hubert lowered his head and said: "You don't have to think about it, if you let the Baron know about this, you don't have to wait for the incident to happen, he will put pressure on us, and before he falls, he will definitely pull us to the back......!"

There was silence for a long time, and the whole hall was silent, neither father nor son spoke, but it was certain that both of them were thinking about the same thing.

"Zuo is also dead, and he is also dead, so instead of sitting here and waiting to die, it is better to give it a go!" Li Yunyang first broke the deadlock, lowered his head and said to himself: "Maybe so, maybe there will be a glimmer of life." ”

"Fight, how to fight?" Hubert looked at Li Yunyang with a mind full of questions.

"Open the warehouse and release the grain, stabilize the hearts of the people!" Li Yunyang said the words sonorously, stood up violently, and said to Hubert: "No matter what happens in the future, this is something that we must deal with immediately, I think you are also willing to watch these people who have been with you for so many years face each other, right?"

"After solving the problem of food, we will immediately recruit troops in the territory of Pirka, unlimited recruitment! Then unify the formation, divide into several groups to conduct a carpet search on several nearby hills, I don't believe it, this group of thieves can still fly into the sky!"

"No, the number of soldiers in a knight's territory is not allowed to exceed three hundred!" After listening to Li Yunyang's words, Hubert immediately objected: "Otherwise, he will be punished for the crime of rebellion!"

"When is it, you still care about this!" Li Yunyang was not lightly angered by the rotten Hubert, and said anxiously: "Even if three hundred is good, we will change the names of the others to the Self-Defense Force, so that it is always okay! It is just a group of peasants who spontaneously organized themselves to save their children, what does it have to do with us!"

"Great idea!" Hubert's eyes lit up, and he slapped one hand on the table and said, "Then do it!"

"As for the problem of food shortages in the future, let me think of a way. Li Yunyang gently touched the space ring in his hand, got up and walked outside, and said as he walked:

"Now, open a position and save people!"
