That's very badass

Chapter 73

From an emotional point of view, Roland really hoped to promote Mieron as a companion, because he helped him a lot at the very beginning.

It is a pity that until now, they have become the elite cavalry of the empire, and they have no hope of promotion. From Andal to Fox, the two of them are completely different people.But what can be guessed is that at least they all have a tough heart.

Fox wanted to become a famous general, but Roland was not very clear about Andal's words.

When Roland and the others returned to Calradia, the entire city fell into a sea of ​​cheers, everyone shouted Roland's name, and their enthusiasm lit up the entire Calradia.

Roland felt their enthusiasm, and at the same time felt that the burden on him was heavier.

He is no longer a wandering mercenary leader, but has become a lord. From then on, he will take on the responsibility of protecting the people and leading them on the road to prosperity.

It's just that it's not a simple matter.

Looking at Fox walking towards him, although they had already met, Roland still solemnly introduced them.

Roland responded to the enthusiastic soldiers one by one, and soon he was overwhelmed.He couldn't take care of everyone, which also made him understand the reason why many important people just waved or shook hands with a few people. They were not pretending, but there were too many people.

Roland came to the high platform and pressed his hands down to signal everyone to be quiet.Fox was worried that the night was too dark and everyone could not see Roland's gesture, so he ordered the soldiers to bring a brazier and light it, illuminating a large area around him.

Everyone slowly quieted down, listening to what good news their lord had brought them.Although Lord Fox had told everyone that there was good news, no matter how much everyone asked, he didn't answer.

This made them feel uncomfortable, and now the answer to the mystery was about to be revealed, and they were full of anticipation.

Standing on the high platform, Roland had a certain momentum of his own. As the firelight swayed, his words spread throughout Calradia.

"I want to tell everyone the good news that we have successfully gained support from the visit to the Duke of Osborne.

He also issued a certificate of development to our Calradia.He also promised that we would send a prospecting party to help us find the treasures that lie beneath our lands.

Our Calradia has officially gained the recognition of the Lord of the North, and from now on, no one can question our legitimacy. "

"Sir, I knew you could do it. Long live Mr. Roland."

"Duke Osborne is a nice guy, I kind of like him."

"I also haha."

Everyone has a smile on their face. They are finally no longer wandering ghosts. From now on, they have their own land, which is Calradia.

Since then they have been able to call themselves 'Calradian', which has a different meaning to them.

Hearing everyone's chaotic shouts, Roland nodded in satisfaction. Everyone is a group of people who know how to be grateful, which is very good.

Although Roland doesn't know how to cultivate noble sentiments, he knows that it is difficult for a selfish person to get along in society; similarly, it is difficult for a selfish nation to stand up in the world. Let alone standing on top of the world.

"You are all people who have experienced the chaotic wars in Calradia. You should know that peace is hard-won. It is true that we love peace, but this does not mean that we are afraid of war.

If anyone wants to take our land, let us show them with our shurikens the wrath of Calradians. "

Roland said, "The people of Calradia are not afraid of any challenge!" ' ended the speech, these words completely ignited the fighting spirit of the people, they shouted loudly, until the entire city of Calradia echoed 'Calradian people are not afraid of any challenge! '

Every Calradian recognized the lord Roland in their hearts, and he completely substituted their perspective—longing for peace, but at the same time he was strong—not afraid of any challenges.

These two sentences fully express the desire in their hearts. They yearn for peace, and at the same time, they are not stingy to shed the last drop of blood for their homeland.

With Roland's departure, the large-scale banquet officially began, and bonfires were lit everywhere, and the meat of various animals gave off a unique aroma under the flames.

The soldiers gathered together in twos and threes, singing songs unique to Calradia. Barrels of ale were brought out, and they would be consumed soon.

The soldiers on duty on the city wall refused their wine glasses. Since the lord gave them the opportunity to call themselves 'Calradian', they will repay him with their loyal blood.

They took the meat and ate it with big mouthfuls.

They are the guardians of their homeland, the strong walls of Calradia, and they take pride in their duty to guard their homeland.

Roland, who came to the lord's hall, quickly sat down in his seat, and the other three also sat down.

Roland immediately came up with a system of land distribution according to population implemented from the Northern Wei Dynasty to the early Tang Dynasty, namely the land equalization system.

Fox agreed to this approach on the spot, but he said that specific details still need to be discussed and tested over time. If deficiencies and errors are discovered, they must be changed in a timely manner.

When Roland turned his attention to Mirron and Andal, they also agreed.Then they finalized the preliminary system:
Under the premise that the territory is owned by the lord, it will be owned by him after 3 years of farming.Considering that the territory is almost all wasteland, it becomes an encouragement to open up wasteland, and it also obtains land ownership after 3 years of farming.

Two out of ten taxes will be levied within three years, and one out of ten taxes will be levied after three years.

Considering that there may be local aborigines joining in the future, they agreed that the newly recruited non-Caladians would also enjoy the same treatment.At the same time, newborns will also be granted land when they reach a certain age.

And the person who acquires the land will be returned to the lord after death and redistributed.

At the same time, in order to encourage the soldiers, they will get a double share of land, but none of them have family members to help with farming, and they decided that other farmers can farm on their behalf.

This ratio can be negotiated between soldiers and others, but the maximum harvest cannot exceed 7 floors, and the lord will only collect taxes from the owners of this land, and cannot collect secondary taxes.

The implementation of the land equalization system affirmed the ownership and possession of land, reduced land disputes, and at the same time facilitated the rapid reclamation of wasteland, greatly improving farmers' enthusiasm for farming.

This guarantees the lowest level of land for the people at the bottom, so that they will not starve to death.If they can eat enough and have spare money, they will choose to buy something that can improve their living conditions and promote the prosperity of the territory's commerce.

At the same time, it also prevented land annexation to a certain extent, and put an end to the emergence of some big landlords and the birth of serfs.

In Roland's view, serfdom, an inefficient system, was a waste of land.

In the future generations with a sound system, there are people who steal, rape and play tricks, let alone under the current backward system.

This will be the first sharp edge to open up the situation in the territory. After obtaining the land ownership, they will do their best to maintain Roland's rule.
