In the days of rebirth as a lord

What the hell?What tail, scales?He is a man and not a fish, this is too unreliable!

Cecil closed the "Book from Heaven" with a dazed expression, threw it on the table, and didn't plan to read any more.This book is not for him.

That night, Cecil dreamed that he had turned into a fish in his sleep. He jumped onto the water at night and was planning to practice, but a big hand grabbed him.He struggled to see that the person who was arresting him was actually Mu Ziyu!

"This fish looks very plump, take it home and make fish soup for His Highness."

Cecil: The next day, Cecil woke up with a tired look on his face. Mu Ziyu asked with concern when he saw it, "Did your Highness not rest last night?" Cecil yawned and looked at it complicatedly. He glanced at him and nodded.

Mu Ziyu felt that the bloody battle yesterday had frightened His Highness, so he said, "Let me watch for His Highness tonight?" "No, you still have injuries." Cecil refused and paused , Cecil added in a nonchalant manner, "I don't like fish very much, and I don't like fish soup very much."

Um?Although Mu Ziyu didn't understand why His Highness suddenly mentioned this, he still responded with a good temper: "Alright Your Highness, I will remember it."

The battle just ended yesterday, and the guards did not train this morning, but gathered together to listen to the lord Cecil's summary of yesterday's battle.It can also be said to be a commendation meeting.The gathering place was in the open space outside the castle, so other people in the village could also see it, and there were quite a few onlookers.

"Is it to reward them for defeating the enemy?" "I guess so, after all, several people died in order to defeat the robbers."

This time when the bandits attacked, seven of the guards were killed in battle, five were newly selected recruits, and two were Han Chinese. One in three soldiers is temporarily incapacitated.From Cecil's point of view, this was already considered a relatively large loss for the less than a hundred patrolmen.

Cecil said: "First of all, I decided to open up a special place to bury these soldiers who died in battle. They are heroes who died defending the village. They should enjoy the glory of heroes! People will pay homage to them throughout the year, remember their sacrifice."

The soldiers felt a little touched. They didn't expect His Highness to value them so much. Even if they died in battle, they would be buried properly and paid homage to them... Then, Cecil said: "All soldiers who participated in the battle, Whether they are slaves or civilians, they can be allocated land ranging from one to ten acres according to their military exploits, and all the land will be exempted from taxes for three years. This tax-free reward can be accumulated. The next time there is a war, set Those who have made military exploits will be exempted from tax for another three years, and they will have more opportunities to be allocated land. Those who cannot continue to stay in the patrol team because they were injured in the war will receive a coin in addition to the rewards just mentioned. Gold coins are used as a retirement subsidy, and will be arranged to do other relatively easy jobs, so you don’t have to worry about your future life. As for the heroes who died in battle, the land they get will belong to their families, and as long as I am still on this land For one day the lords will be exempted from their food tax for one day!"

Now the guards present were all excited. They might have guessed that His Highness would give them some rewards, but they all thought that it would be the same as learning characters before, and it would be over if they rewarded some grains such as beans. Can tax relief!

The emotions of the other onlookers were much more complicated. Originally, some people were glad that they were not selected as patrol guards, otherwise they might be the ones who died in battle.But now, when they hear about the military rewards that these soldiers can get, everyone can't wait to join the patrols immediately, join the battle and get the land!

Tax-free land!How many family members can that feed?Even if you die in battle, it's a good deal. After all, the land can belong to the family forever, and you don't have to pay taxes!

What?You said that these benefits can only be guaranteed when His Highness is the lord?His Highness will always be the lord of this land, isn't it that they joined the patrol to protect His Highness?

"Quiet!"

Following Mu Ziyu's scolding, the noisy crowd became quiet again.

Seeing such discipline, Cecil nodded secretly. It seemed that the young general he was looking at already possessed a certain majesty.

When the crowd calmed down again, Cecil continued: "Through this battle, I also found some shortcomings. First of all, there are still too few patrolmen, so I decided to continue to recruit more soldiers. At the same time, the patrolmen are no longer It is called Patrolling Guards, but it was renamed Patrol Army, and Mu Ziyu, the former commander, was formally appointed as the general of the Patrol Army, commanding the whole army. Mu Ziyu, can you do it?" Mu Ziyu only felt his blood boil, loudly He replied: "Yes! I will definitely not let you down, Your Highness!"

"That's good, then I will give you all the decision-making power in the army. The soldiers will expand as you like, and the generals will be appointed by you. If you lack money or food, just tell me, and I will find a way. But you have to train a strong team." Your army, my heart is where your swords are directed, protect my territory and protect my people."

"Swear to be loyal to His Highness!" Mu Ziyu said loudly.

The other guards also shouted: "I will be loyal to Your Highness to the death!"

After commending the meritorious persons, it is time to liquidate the crimes of the guilty persons, such as the Pickle family.

When Pickle and his eldest son Jamie were tied up and escorted in front of the crowd, their expressions were dull and dazed.Although no one tortured them after they were arrested yesterday, the harsh punishments they imagined could scare them to death.

The people in the village were filled with righteous indignation when they saw this family collaborating with robbers, and some children picked up stones on the ground and threw them at Pickle.However, such an approach was immediately stopped by the adults, not because it was wrong, but because "Your Highness is going to judge this sinner, please don't disturb Your Highness."

Cecil looked at Pickle coldly, regretting that he hadn't acted decisively the first time he wanted to kill him in the castle, otherwise yesterday's tragedy might not have happened.

"This is the man who introduced the robbers into our village. Seven of the guards protecting our village were killed and more than a dozen were seriously injured! Such crimes are absolutely not allowed to be forgiven, and must be severely punished! After careful consideration, I finally Decided to order Pickle to be hanged as a lord, and Jamie and Molly, who conspired with him, will be serfs from now on, and will be forever deprived of the qualifications to enter classrooms and become soldiers. As for Pickle's youngest son, Amy, read in He is young, so we will not pursue it for the time being. But in the future, Amy will be handed over to the orphans in the village to raise him, and Molly and Jamie will not be able to contact him again!"

Everyone agreed that Pickle was hanged, but they felt that the Pickle family should be punished more severely.Sure enough, His Highness was still so kind, and he was so tolerant of the punishment of the Pickle family.

There were no cells in Otter Village, and Cecil didn't want to waste food and imprison Pickle, so Pickle was hanged that afternoon in full view.
