Chapter 0011 The First Political Conference
"I'll give it back to you!" Gregor interrupted Master Harry rudely, in an unmistakable tone. He ignored Harry's fears and watched indifferently as the notepad shoved the three golden dragons into the hands of the last three families.
The four women in the eleven households did not dare to look at Gregor, and the notoriety of Gregor's 'bullying' of women spread far and wide, and the women of the eleven households who were a little of the right age were all married far away. The few remaining young women, all mothers of the children, had prepared to be ugly when they heard that Lord Gregor had returned to Fort Clegane, and had already smeared their faces with soot a few days earlier.
Gregor looked at the four young women and felt ashamed of their sins.
Letting his people fear him like a femme fatale, Gregor's past is really too evil.
"You — go back and cut down all the opium poppies in the fields and plant corn, wheat and paddy instead. Gregor said.
The eleven families looked at each other, and no one dared to answer.
Cutting down all the crops and planting poppies was also an order from Grego. Lord Magic Mountain needs a lot of poppy milk to satisfy his needs.
What kind of trick is Gregor up again.
Why are the people so poor?
Their fields were all poppy grown, and the only buyer of the poppy was Grego, and their lord, Lord Gregor, paid them a pitiful amount of money at a time.
"This golden dragon is to compensate you for the loss of cutting down the poppy. This year you will be able to plant three crops of maize, wheat and rice. ”
The seasons in Westeros are special, there are no four seasons in a year, but a season that lasts for several years. For example, this summer is the ninth year in a row.
In the summer years, industrious people harvest four seasons of grain and store it for what is likely to be the same long winter.
"Don't be stunned, go back and cut down all the poppies and plant rice, wheat and corn instead. "The notepad has a yin and yang tone.
"From today onwards, opium poppy will no longer be allowed on our land. Gregor said.
"Yes, my lord!" replied the people, without confidence.
"I will compensate you for your losses, I don't have any money now, I owe you coins first, and compensate you for your losses for ten years, one golden dragon a year, ten years, how many golden dragons does each family owe?
"Every household owes ten golden dragons, my lord. "I really learned the math of Notepad well.
"And how much do I owe you in total?" said Gregor, who had been slow to calculate. He was illiterate and could not count, the only sharpness was his sword.
"My lord, you owe you a total of one hundred and ten golden dragons...... Well, that's a lot of money, sir...... We...... I can't pay for it......," the notepad said.
"Well, the thing about making money is not discussed here. People, if any of you have been wronged, or if other nobles have bullied you, you can tell me. I haven't had a council in Fort Klegan in years, and today is the first time, but it won't be the last. ”
The people looked at each other, and the women secretly raised their heads and glanced at the demon.
Their hearts grew more and more uneasy.
Demons are abnormal.
The demon's physiognomy is also abnormal, and it looks as if it has been severely traumatized.
Government affairs is a meeting that every lord will meet. The people under the lord's banner will come to the lord to solve any grievances, disputes, conflicts with neighbors, crimes or any other problems. The lord is the supreme magistrate of the people to solve all their troubles.
"It's the first time you have a government meeting, you can say anything and talk about family life. Gregor said.
However, both the few people and the subordinates around him were quite uncomfortable with Gregor's words and deeds.
It's hard to get started!
For Gregor, who has been 'out of office' for a long time, it is the first time that a people's council of eleven households has been held, which makes him feel awkward.
But things have to change.
Today's gregor is not the gregory of the past.
“...... My lord...... I am grateful for the ...... that the adults have rewarded me Gold...... When I returned, I would immediately cut down all the opium poppies and plant rice, wheat and corn instead. A man stammered. He was so frightened that he almost knelt down and kowtowed.
Gregor said, "This citizen, do you have any problems that you want me to solve? He tapped his head, "For example, grain seeds and wheat seeds, if you are afraid of being sold for a high price, I can order Notepad to go to the Lannis Market to buy the best seeds, and make sure that no one will ask you for a high price." ”
“...... No, no, no, no...... Thank you for your kindness...... May the seven gods give you all their blessings, and may the old and new gods bless the kindness of the adults...... Under the leadership of adults, it is the greatest honor for my whole family. ...... Belch...... Seeds, let's just buy them ourselves, don't dare to trouble adults......"
"May the seven gods bless you too, and you will feel true glory for me, this people, do you have no other demands?"
"No, sir. ”
"Oh, then you can go. ”
"Yes, sir!"
The citizen's whole body suddenly relaxed, as if the boulder that had been pressed on his body had been removed.
Gregor was depressed.
At present, it seems that it is much harder and much harder to be a good person than to be a bad person.
Everyone watched as this "glorious people" walked out of this terrifying courtyard.
Gregor was silent for a while, and then said, "Since you have no complaints, and you have not been violated by the need for justice, then go back, cut down the poppies in the field, and plant rice, wheat, and corn." ”
"Yes, sir!" the people said in unison. They all couldn't wait to escape from here, and today's Lord Magic Mountain was too abnormal and very unsettling. Hurry away from the land of right and wrong to feel safe.
So, the four women cowered but left the courtyard with great speed.
The rest of the people followed suit.
Gregor gestured for the notepad, which stepped forward and stopped an elderly man: "Thomasman, you stay." ”
As soon as the other people left the courtyard, they hurried away. They all secretly pinched a cold sweat for Thomas Mann in their hearts, but they couldn't help the hapless Thomas Mann. Who dares to go against the Magic Mountain? No one can do it!
"Thomasman, what do you want to say to me?"
Earlier, Gregor had seen the old man open his mouth when he asked about government affairs, but he did not speak.
“...... No...... Your Excellency ......" Thomas Man hurriedly got down on one knee.
"Say it quickly. Gregor frowned, "You are my people, and I will help you in any violation of it, no matter which Sir offends you." ”
“...... The old man suddenly broke down emotionally, tears welling up in his eyes, ...... ...... My lord...... My little girl...... At the end of last month...... 10 days ago...... It was ...... by the mine garrison of the Silver Hall Snatched ......"
