Live Broadcast: I Am a Lord In Another World
Chapter 27:
When Richard took the two cat ears to the construction site, he found that there were indeed hundreds of missing people.
Most of the people who are still working are originally from Richard's territory.
Although there are two thousand people in his territory, only seven or eight hundred people can work except for the elderly and children.
"My lord, the locust plague is coming. They are all worried that when the locust plague comes, there will be no harvest of food and winter will not be possible, so they all want to grab the food."
Another clerk came up, and reflected the wishes of many people in the territory.
"Those grains are not mature, and there will not be much harvest if they are robbed. As long as you work and lead you to eat and drink, what are you afraid of?"
Allie spoke.
The clerk said: "Yes, but they are worried that once the locust plague comes, the lord will not have enough food. After all, the winter is so long."
When he was speaking, a lot of residents of the territory had already surrounded him.
"Call everyone here."
Richard said.
"Yes, Lord Lord."
The clerk went down.
Soon, everyone was called over.
Li Cha looked at them and said, "My food is really not endless."
Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, and scanned everyone with a light and majestic gaze.
Then, he continued: "However, as long as you continue to work for me, my food can let you through this winter, I promise, as long as it is my people this winter, no one will starve to death!"
"I believe in the lord!"
After Richard's voice fell, Allie said loudly.
"I believe in the lord too!"
Another person raised his hand. This person is literate and earns one more coin every day!
Someone took the lead. When the residents of other territories thought of the great changes in the territory after Richard became the lord, as well as Richard's noble identity and all kinds of weird things, they immediately had confidence in Richard!
Richard said: "There is no mature food, and there is not much robbed. The most urgent thing is to build the city, so that when the horse thief comes, we can rely on the city to fight against them!"
"Yes, Lord Lord!"
Ellie and a few others took the lead.
When the residents of other territories saw this, they also responded.
So, the residents of Richard's territory stabilized like this.
Richard's prestige in the territory has played a big role, otherwise, if you change someone, don't even think about being steady!
In fact, the current grain harvest is at least half of the output, but for Richard, the most important thing is to build the city, not the grain, so he can only give up the immature grain.
There is no other way.
Otherwise, when everyone is rushing to harvest food, it will take at least ten days for a household to finish the harvest. For Richard, there is no one available.
Richard asked several clerks to go to the nearby territory to see if he could persuade those people to come back.
The next day, several clerks came back to report. Those people were a little worried. In addition, the nobles in the territories where those people were located issued a decree. If they don’t grab food, they will be driven out directly. They planted them before. The food does not belong to them anymore.
Under the high pressure of those nobles, no one wants to come back except for a few people.
In this world, on the land of nobles, all the land belongs to nobles.
Basically, all the nobles will contract a part of the land to the people of their own territory for farming, and then collect high taxes themselves.
That is to say, if those people don't grab the food, the nobles will suffer miserable losses, so they will suppress those people from going out.
In addition, people in this world of locust plagues have experienced more than once. Under the locust plague, no one can be spared. After all, those people are not from Richard's territory. They have less confidence in Richards than the residents of the territory. Grab the grain that can be obtained.
The power of the locust plague has begun to manifest.
"There is a shortage of manpower."
Richard looked at the construction site where the number of people had suddenly decreased, thinking about how to do it.
"Master, Dorothy is here!"
At this time, Mia noticed something, said.
Fox ears are here again?
Chapter 0041 Fox Ear Lady's Help! Richard's plan!
When Richard and Mia returned to the castle, Dorothy the fox ear was already waiting outside the castle.
Although she could easily sneak into the castle with her skill, she obviously did not sneak in this time, but waited outside.
Richard approached and found that the expression on Dorothy's face was a bit tired.
"What's wrong? Dorothy."
Mia asked.
Dorothy saw Richard come over and bowed down to him: "Your Excellency Richard, I'm here this time, I want to ask Your Excellency Richard for help!"
"Your tribe's food was robbed by kobolds?"
A few minutes later, in the castle, Mia Mao’s ears sounded.
Dorothy sat on the soft sofa with a melancholy expression, and said, "Yes, the kobolds are too bad. They attacked once. I killed many kobolds and retreated. Who knows the second time? After they slammed me out, other kobolds rushed in and snatched the food."
Richard was listening silently.
Things are actually very simple.
Seven days ago, the fox ear lady returned to her tribe.
Her tribe is not big, only more than a thousand fox people.
Fox tribes are actually more diligent. They are willing to cultivate the land and cultivate some animals. Unlike some orc tribes, they only know that they depend on the sky for food and some of the output in the forest.
When she went back, all the fox people had already begun to grab food.
However, a tribe of kobolds is eyeing her tribe.
The kobold tribe has more than 3,000 kobolds, and is stronger.
At the beginning, the kobold directly launched an attack, trying to grab it.
However, the foxes rely on the stockade, coupled with Dorothy's intrepidity, the foxes guarded their stockade, causing the kobolds to suffer heavy losses.
However, when the foxes went out to grab food, the kobolds launched a sneak attack and led Dorothy out.
Then a large army of kobolds rushed into Dorothy's tribe and snatched all the food.
Without food, Dorothy’s tribe could not last long.
Therefore, Dorothy arrived at Richard's place day and night and asked him for help.
Richard... is the only person she can think of asking for help!
Although she and Mia's teacher have a good position in the royal city, her teacher can't control her tribe, nor can the king of the orc kingdom.
Under the locust plague, even the royal family of the orcs had to find a way to guarantee their own food.
After all, after the locust plague ended, it was a long winter.
Who would manage a small tribe with more than a thousand people?
After Dorothy finished talking about the future of the dragon, she stood up and said solemnly: "As long as Your Excellency Richard is willing to ask us for help, Dorothy will be willing to treat Your Excellency like Mi Wei in the future."
For Dorothy, this is the only bargaining chip she can think of.
She is not the same as the two sisters Mivi Mia.
The two sisters no longer have any relatives in the tribe, and the cat tribe did not protect Mi Wei when they retreated. They no longer cared about the tribe.
However, Dorothy's parents and relatives are in the tribe, so she can't let go of her tribe.
Hearing Dorothy's words, Richard pondered for a moment, and said, "I have a plan."
Dorothy looked at Richard.
Richard said: "Let your tribe move to my territory. I am responsible for arranging the people of your tribe, but the people of your tribe need to work for me. As long as I work for me, I can guarantee everyone’s food and also provide Those who work are paid. But the food for the foxes who are incapable of working needs to be deducted from your tribe’s total wages before being distributed to you."
This is Richard's plan.
Now his territory is short of manpower.
In a short period of time, there is no way to recruit refugees.
can recruit orcs.
Of course, he must be a reliable orc.
greedy and cunning like kobolds or goblins, they only know that orcs who rob other people will attract wolves into the house, and trouble keeps going!
Dorothy’s tribe is more industrious, and Dorothy has a high status in the tribe and has a strong control over the tribe.
With Dorothy there, there is no need to worry about the control of that tribe.
So we can recruit Dorothy’s tribe to work for Richard.
In the past few days, Richard has also learned about Dorothy’s Westfall through Mia.
Fox people are naturally not as big as the tauren.
But as an orc, the physical strength of an adult fox is not worse than that of a human.
Many fox people have good archery skills. They use homemade bows and arrows, and they also have a certain combat effectiveness.
It just so happened that Richard was short of some archers, more than a thousand foxes, no matter how many more than a hundred fox archers could be made up.
Other fox people, no matter how they can make up four or five hundred people who can work.
In this way, before the outbreak of the Great Famine, Richard would have more combat power and enough manpower to repair the city.
Of course, Richard will divide a separate area for her tribe.
Compared to directly giving food, such a plan is the most beneficial to Richard.
He doesn't like charity, and he can't give alms. He prefers equivalent exchange.
Hearing Richard's plan, Dorothy's eyes lit up.
This is indeed a better plan.
but……
The orc tribe enters the domain of human nobles to work, this kind of thing... has never happened before.
Richard seemed to know what she was hesitating, and said, "Don't worry, humans will not be allowed to bully the orcs in my territory. Of course, the premise is that you can't make trouble either."
"The master's plan is good."
Mia said by the side.
"Dorothy, the master has strong control over the territory. He is also a noble magician. As long as you control your tribe and follow the master's rules, there will be no problems."
Mia said again.
Dorothy pondered for a while, and finally she raised her head and said, "Thank you, Your Excellency Richard. We accept this plan. However, out of gratitude to Your Excellency, and in order to make the people in the tribe even more in awe of Your Excellency, Dorothy is still willing to protect Your Excellency with her sword!"
Chapter 0042 Compressed Cookies! Dorothy leaving!
When Dorothy was speaking, he held a short sword in one hand and placed it behind his back, and put the other hand on his chest!
this posture.
is the posture where the warriors of the orc kingdom officially swear!
In other words, Dorothy officially swore to Richard that he would use her sword to protect Richard for life!
Next to , Mia waited for her to finish, and asked: "Dorothy, are you 18 years old?"
Dorothy said: "Yes, Mia, I just turned 18 a few days ago."
Mia said "Oh" and didn't speak any more.
