Shaman from Afar
Vol 2 Chapter 12: Reign starts from the land (below)
For a group of nobles with real power and land, it is very difficult to renovate them.
They have a large area of real estate in their hands, and at the same time continue to encroach on the surrounding land. The farmers attached to their farms have lost their land and can only become tenants willingly.
This is especially true for hunters who depend on hunting for a living. Cannot enter the hunting ground without the permission of the owner of the hunting ground. Expensive bows and arrows are also the property of the nobles, and they can only survive in the name of these nobles.
Without the support of these nobles, any Earl of Deep Limburg would not be able to levy taxes, and he would not be able to rule--even the Sena family in the past is the same on this point.
But as long as it is a person, especially a group of people, they cannot be without weakness.
The reason why we need to thoroughly investigate and measure the entire land of the Earl's Land is because in the past hundred years, those large and small farms have not been static, and new land has been constantly reclaimed, new villages have been established, and the population has also The same is increasing.
The newly reclaimed land originally belonged to the peasants who reclaimed the wasteland, but was stripped away by the nobles in various ways. The nobles who invaded more fields were becoming stronger and stronger.
The same principle can be applied to the owners of those hunting grounds, even easier-no bows and arrows, no hunting props, no matter how good the hunter can only starve to death.
And this is Loren's plan to confirm the range of these nobles by measuring the land, to return the land that did not belong to them to the peasants, or to return to the count's jurisdiction.
This kind of action is nothing more than cutting meat and blood from the nobles directly, but it will definitely be welcomed by the farmers-that is, Duke Fryd said, which makes the nobles afraid and the commoners love them.
When hundreds of farmers and their families get the land, no one will ever question the legality of Ruben Friede ’s rule.
Lu Wen gave them the land, which is their only guarantor. In order to protect their land, these peasants will do everything possible so that the Earl of Deep Forest can rule forever.
However, this approach must be cautious enough. Once there is a slight mistake, the entire Earl of Deep Forest Castle will be divided into two, and the farmers who want to defend their land will be united by Lu Wen and want to retake it. The nobles of the land worked hard to the end.
Even worse than this-the ignorant peasants were inspired by the nobles to resist the "tyranny" of this new count!
That was definitely not what Loren wanted to see. If he could, he hoped to complete the transition peacefully. Killing is always a means of last resort, and should not be used lightly unless there is no choice.
Of course, if you really get to that step, you must be thorough enough to uproot all the rebels.
Nearly in the evening, the young earl drove back to Shenlinbao on a horse. Although his face was all tired, he still could not hide the excitement and joy in his eyes.
"How about, Loren? What do the nobles say?"
In the quiet bedroom, Lu Wen, who was sitting by the bed, poured himself a full glass of ale, and he did not forget to ask: "I guess their expressions must be very wonderful, right?"
"You guessed it." Seeing Lu Wen's expectant expression, Loren's unmarked little touted: "In fact, there are still many people waiting for you in the hall, I hope you can take it back. "
"Then let them wait, I will naturally see them when I'm in a good mood!" Lu Wen sneered, and he didn't feel any favors for these greedy and troublesome guys.
Said to beckon to Loren, and said with a smile: "You can also move a chair to sit, I said not to be so restrained, a little more casual, standing there I have to raise my head to talk to you.
The dark-haired wizard who chuckled had to sit next to him and poured himself a glass of ale: "This is just the beginning, they won't surrender easily."
Lu Wen nodded. He also knew how difficult it was for these nobles to give up the land they had.
"Sir Aaron has taken people to start a thorough investigation. The land around the castle can be measured within three days, and all the work can be completed in a month-we must step up the speed, and we must not allow them time to react! "
At that time, all the noblemen of the Deep Forest must make a choice-whether to accept the rule of the earl completely, or to protect the land in their hands against the end.
And the reason why Loren insists on speeding up, the more important thing is to grab time. Winter has arrived, and if you ca n’t complete the whole reform or complete part of it as much as possible before next spring, you ’ll fall short.
When farming is busy, farmers will not be so enthusiastic about this reform. They have to work hard for the rations in the coming year, and it is too difficult to agitate them again.
"If all goes well, before the end of this winter, the peasants around the castle will be able to share part of the land, and the rest will depend on whether the nobles are fit or not." With some speculation, the black-haired wizard said toast: "If it doesn't work, then you can only ask Sir Aaron to use some tougher methods."
"They absolutely do not dare!" The confident Lu Wen swallowed up and looked at the attendant standing in the corner: "Do you think the Sena family will be dissatisfied?"
"I?" The wide-eyed attendant pointed at himself. Ruben and Loren turned back one after another, and their eyes fell on him.
Will Cena showed a somewhat fearful expression, neither dare to say nor seem to be afraid of saying the wrong thing.
"Don't worry." Loren, seeing that he was worried, comforted: "No matter what you say, no one except us will know."
"Ok……"
The sweaty nodded nodded, as if it was very difficult: "Actually ... what Lord Earl is doing now, the Sena family has been doing it a long time ago, but it has never been successful."
"Every generation of counts have tried to recover the newly reclaimed land from the nobles, but every time they failed. They will always use various methods to obstruct and let the Senna family fail."
Loren nodded, it is not difficult to understand, any lord does not want his vassals to be too strong, it is reasonable to do so. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com
And the reason why the Sena family now stands on the opposite side of Lu Wen is because he snatched the title of Earl, so they can only stay with their cronies, regardless of their original interests.
"So if you do the same, most members of the Senna family should not object." Will Senna said carefully: "Especially Grandpa Barry, you should actually cooperate with him."
"I will give it a try, after all, he is also my grandfather." Lu Wen nodded, staring at the attendant with a staring eye:
"But if ... I mean if, one day I had to be an enemy of the Sena family, especially when I was an enemy of Barry Senna, which side would you choose to stand on?"
Will's expression was even more embarrassing, let him choose whether to support Lu Wen or his family. Facing the lion-like eyes of the young earl, the evasive attendant was in a dilemma.
"If ... there will be one day." The attendant gritted his teeth and suddenly raised his head: "I am your attendant. According to tradition, I will be loyal to you wholeheartedly!"
The expression of the young earl was a little surprised, but he quickly smiled and stood up happily to give the attendant a bear hug.
"I always don't like to make random promises, but I will give everything they want to those who are loyal to me." Lu Wen said with pledge: "This is my promise to you!"
The slightly excited Will Sena lowered her head, as if she could not restrain her emotions. The young earl patted his shoulder comfortably.
Sitting behind, Loren tilted his head slightly, his expression somewhat strange, and his dark pupil was full of treachery.
A man who can betray even his family can really believe his loyalty?
