i have a shelter.

George nodded secretly.

The lord collects taxes, and if anyone dares to run away, the whole family will be hanged.

This sentence had a great effect. After hearing it, the group of villagers became even more frightened. Some even cried out in despair that the lord was indeed here to do the thing they were most afraid of.

In this troubled world, the villagers don't have much food.And the so-called tax collection is actually robbery!Sometimes not even a grain of grain is left behind!

Besides, since the thick fog, the lord who came here to collect taxes is no longer the only one, so that the villagers don't know who their lord should be.

The middle-aged man was quite courageous. Although he showed fear, he still planned to open his mouth to defend himself: "My lord, we just..."

But George didn't give him a chance to finish.

"Your original lord is dead! The king has brought this land into my Johannesburg. I am your new lord, George William!" He rode on a horse, talking, and rode back and forth in the village to leave Looking at the middle-aged man, he felt that this old guy was different from those miserable villagers, and he was a bit difficult to deal with, while Knight Alexander followed around him, staring at the villagers.

Damn, there are really chickens and sheep in the village. Although there are only a few of them, they have not been sheared, and the villagers have saved a lot of wool, which seems to be prepared for tax payment.This is so damn good, thanks to the previous lords for not killing the chicken to get the eggs!This thing, I will accept it!Ha ha ha ha

The lord's eyes glowed green, but his expression was very serious. He continued: "According to the usual practice, you have eighteen kinds of taxes to pay! This is the law! It is sacred, and no one can defy it! "

The middle-aged man who was jogging over heard these words, staggered and almost fell to the ground.And those who weren't crying were crying too.Including the infants, who didn't understand anything at first, also burst into tears in this desperate atmosphere.

What a crime.George observed the reactions of these villagers, and secretly laughed in his heart: The preparation is almost done,...

0020 Unexpected

Looking at this group of desperate villagers, George felt that it was almost the same.

The villagers are different from the gangsters, they are born a group of sheep who don't know how to resist.The aristocratic decree and the intimidation of language can make this group of poor people who keep their own way completely succumb.

"But the great god of refuge is merciful. He inspired me and gave me an oracle in my dreams. By God's command, my territory became a land of salvation. The light penetrated the fog Shining there, I swear that those who are protected by me will never have to pay taxes."

Totally farting...

However, he played it very loudly: "Last night, He told me that there is a group of poor abandoned people here. There are terrible demons who are secretly peeping here. Soon, this place will be destroyed. Buried in that hell In the flames."

"I can't just watch you poor people suffer such disasters. So I led my loyal warriors here."

"But I can't give up that sacred sanctuary for you, so I won't stay long. There are two paths in front of you, one is to stay here, fulfill your obligations, pay your taxes, and wait to die The second is to give up this Po village that is about to be destroyed. Follow your lord, return to the sunshine, and receive the salvation of the gods and my protection again!"

Nobility and gods, these are the two most deterrent words in this feudal imperial society.

And George added demons after these two words.

No one would doubt that a noble lord, a guardian in a robe of a god, would make up random things.After all, if you offend the gods, you will go to hell.

What's more, the lord also said that there is no need to pay taxes.

The ignorant and simple villagers have never been educated, and they can't even imagine that if the lord wants to harvest leeks, there are [-] ways to do it besides taxation.I don't know, the spirit of contract is nothing but a fart to some unbelievers.

So in their eyes, the place where no taxes are collected, no matter whether there is sunshine or not, has become their only hope of survival...

So as the magic stick said every sentence, the crying gradually stopped.After he finished speaking, the whole village was silent for a moment, and then there was another soft sob.

After that, it was like a flood that broke the dam, and the crying could no longer be stopped!

But different from before, this time the cries no longer contain despair, but are full of hope, mixed with the messy prayers.

God, remembering these poor forgotten people at last.

Although most people were hypocrites before, at this time, the name of God is more useful than ever.

And in the end, the villagers all knelt on the ground, and started praying and crying loudly towards the sky, although some of the prayer words in their mouths were completely inaccurate...

Some people surrounded him halfway through crying, and they were not even afraid of the scary Alexander.Some of them were praying and praising the pastor and lord, some were crying about their suffering, and some were cautiously asking what kind of demon was coming to kill them, was it the lunatic at the east end of the village? attracted...

Although after seeing that the village is full of old, weak, sick and disabled, George knew that the whole process would be very smooth.But he did not expect that these words would have such a big reaction.

This was indeed somewhat beyond his expectation.

But he remembered this scene, remembering when he acted with the will of the gods, what kind of effect would it produce in this doomsday world full of faith and magic...

The enthusiasm and enthusiasm of the villagers is stronger than those of the soldiers.In the process of packing up, some people even ran over and begged, asking the lord to wait for a few people who went out to fight.

Of course the lord will wait for them. He has been talking nonsense for so long just to let those people come back and be wiped out by him.

The population of these thirty or so households, counting the babies, adds up to only a hundred or so people.It can be said that people are ridiculed.

Originally, in his opinion, if a family did not have seven or eight children, it would be a shame for this era.

But the premature mortality rate is really too serious, if the people who survived successfully are beautiful, that is a hurdle.As a male, if he is strong, he will be caught as a strong man.

What's more, there are no fields in the mountains and forests, there is not enough food, and many people die of starvation and disease.And people who go out to look for food often never come back.Almost from birth to old age, every step is like going through difficulties, and no one in a hundred can live to be more than 60 years old.

So this made George very upset. He found that there were not only many old, weak, sick and disabled here.And there are far more women than men!The most important thing is that there is so little to eat!

Damn, it's full of budgets, I'm afraid these foods won't last the whole winter...Looking at the small bags, small bags of food that those thin villagers packed up.He felt a little hopeless.

He had hoped that there would be some food stored here, but this was simply bringing back a bunch of mouths!

However, he found that the elderly and women here are also quite capable of working. If they are full, they probably don't need men to be bad.

The fodder that can hold more than half of the carriage was tied up by an old man, and he lay on it and swayed a few times before carrying it on his back.No help from anyone!

He can't even do this job himself!

And some are women, with babies on their backs, and don't need men to work poorly!

Just can't be a soldier...

"You don't need to bring hay or anything. There are many territories, all of which belong to you." After letting those people put down their useless things, George rode his horse and looked around the village.

After looking around the village, he found that although the buildings here were low, they were not rough because of saving materials and habits.Almost everyone of the foolish people he mentioned can do this kind of work, and although the village looks dilapidated, everything is neat and orderly. It can be said that although these villagers are timid, they are very diligent!

When he saw the monastery before, he thought that those bandits were hardworking. Compared with other villagers, they were lazy pigs who ate and did nothing!

I heard that there were more young and strong ones, but most of them were taken away as slaves by the coal mine in the southwest... I remember that the coal mine was the territory of the viscount, and the knight was also the viscount's man.It stands to reason that he should not dig coal if he is confiscated, unless the knight becomes independent.It seems that a lot of things should have happened in the Viscounty.

At this time, Youhu ran over from Xiaoxiao and said to the lord, "My lord, those people who ran out before were brought back by some villagers."

George nodded, knowing that this is the real catch: "Look closely, I'll go to the river."

He is no longer needed here, and those villagers are always thinking about coming to him for confession and prayer, which affects work efficiency too much.As for the river water, he was a little curious.

After speaking, George turned and left, and came to the river alone.He lowered his body to touch the river water, and secretly touched his chin.

After becoming a divinely favored person, he is extremely sensitive to divine power, and the surrounding environment is obviously different from other areas: It should not be my illusion, there is definitely something that can purify the river upstream...

It's really a paradise, but unfortunately...there is no living space for them here.
