Chapter 742 Lord's New Nickname and Plan Implementation

That is, in addition to the conventional or contemptuous titles such as "Kongqing City Lord", "Princess Keqing", "Humble Lord", "Ant from another world", Lei Xiao discovered.

After this battle, he gained many new nicknames in the camps of the new nobles and traditional nobles, such as "Monster from Another World", "Crafty Conspirator", "Lord of Shadows" and so on.

Although it still does not have a positive title, it is obviously much better than the previous "lowly lord" and "ant from another world".

"Yes, to a certain extent, this can be regarded as a kind of affirmation for me."

After hearing these new nicknames from the subordinates from all over the place, Lei Xiao, who was sitting on the throne in the hall of the mansion, closed his reading and smiled helplessly.

"My lord, it's actually no wonder."

Ariel, who had been following Lei Xiao all this time, frowned first, and then said in relief: "After all, apart from the more than 30,000 captives, the fifteen regiments in this area, the traditional aristocrats and the new aristocratic regular army, are all The army is wiped out."

"Although part of it was caused by the two dogs biting dogs, but including the Goblin Legion, our casualties are only about one legion. It is indeed a perfect battle that can be recorded in history."

Speaking of this, Ariel's fair face was full of reverence, and she said excitedly: "All this is thanks to the lord."

"Don't forget, each of you also contributed a lot."

Lei Xiao smiled slightly at Princess Lengyan in front of him, and said sincerely: "Especially you, Ariel, if you hadn't boosted everyone's morale in the west square of Kongqing Town, I'm afraid that Jiang Lian has not waited When we arrive, the Necromancer Storm has already broken out ahead of schedule."

"Ariel, compared to the unruly and willful little princess at the beginning, you have improved a lot. I can even see a little shadow of the king from you."

Looking at the almost flawless face of the other party, Lei Xiao nodded, and added: "Facing darkness and death without fear, and being able to bring this emotion to other people, this is by no means something that ordinary people can do."

"Your lord is absurd!"

Ariel quickly waved her hand, and said coyly, "It's all because the lord gave this subordinate courage, and this subordinate just passed on this incomparably precious courage to other people present!"

On Ariel's exquisite face, there was another touch of excitement, and she said nana: "This subordinate still can't believe it, this is at least a quarter of the vast area of ​​the Lengyan Kingdom, and it has been controlled. It is in the hands of the lord, and everything is exactly as the lord promised his subordinates at the beginning!"

"I always say what I say, and this is just a small first step."

Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows and said with a faint smile: "As long as we use this area as a springboard to point our sword at Lengyan's hinterland, we are within reach, and what we have to do is very simple, that is to smash the old shackles and build a new one." order."

"The Lord Lord's words really always make people's blood boil."

Ariel looked excited, nodded heavily and said: "At that time, not only this area, but even the free farmers in the entire kingdom will usher in a new dawn!"

"But before that, I need you to grow up fast."

Lei Xiao nodded slightly, and immediately said to Ariel seriously: "I have already told you that my goal is the sea of ​​stars and stars in this world, and the Kingdom of Lengyan is my rear, and I need someone to watch the house for me , take care of everything at home, so that I can stride forward without any worries."

"This subordinate understands, this subordinate will definitely work hard, and will never disappoint the Lord Lord's expectations!"

Hearing Lei Xiao's ambiguous words, Ariel blinked her slender eyelashes, and said firmly: "The subordinates will do their best to keep up with the Lord Lord's continuous progress!"

"Very good. I also believe that you can do it. After all, you are the one I like."

Lei Xiao stood up from the throne, touched Ariel's head with a smile, and then said solemnly: "But the road ahead must be full of thorns, and it will also be full of challenges of life and death. I will walk shoulder to shoulder on this rough road together."

"Please rest assured, the lord, as long as you follow the lord, the subordinates will have nothing to fear!"

Ariel obeyed like a kitten, and nodded solemnly.

Then, Ariel blinked her slender eyelashes, and frowned again: "However, my lord, there is still one thing that I am very worried about."

"What you want to talk about is the stability of this area?"

Lei Xiao asked while walking slowly in the spacious and bright hall of the mansion.

"That's right, my lord."

Ariel nodded, her eyebrows frowned and said: "Although the lord has already arranged the heads of the cities, after hundreds of years of management by these fallen nobles, the relationship between the free farmers and the new citizens who are also common people There has been a long-standing grievance between the two, and it cannot be changed overnight. Once the two conflicts break out or are instigated, the consequences will be disastrous."

"After all, we not only want to restore the status of the free farmers, but also deprive the new citizens of the privileges they shouldn't have, just like the neutral cities that the lord conquered at the beginning. This is the original appearance of the Cold Flame Kingdom .”

After a pause, Ariel added: "Besides, after such a big battle, the overall combat power in this area has been greatly reduced, and the troops are also very tense, which will definitely cause a counterattack from the Holy Night Kingdom or my brothers. "

After finishing speaking, Ariel's brows were full of seriousness.

Although the flames of war in this area have basically been extinguished, what he and the lord are facing next is a war without gunpowder.

Facing the imminent hidden danger, if it is not handled properly, the consequences will still only be destruction.

In other words, this new challenge is no less difficult than the terrible war that just ended.

"The analysis is correct. The current situation is indeed an internal and external problem. If you are not careful, you may fall into the abyss."

Lei Xiao still had that indifferent look, and said with a smile: "So what we need to do is to carry out two steps at the same time, that is, to fight against the outside world and to secure the interior, which is also the third thing in my next plan. "

"It turns out that the lord has already made up his mind!"

Looking at Lei Xiao's calm expression, Ariel took a step forward eagerly, curious and anticipating: "Can you tell me something about it?"

"Needless to say about fighting against the outside world, that is to improve the treatment of soldiers, replenish a large number of soldiers, step up training, and restore the strength of the garrison in each city as soon as possible to the point where it can maintain the stability of the surrounding area."

After waving his hand to signal Ariel not to worry, Lei Xiao nodded and began to talk.

"After all, if you don't include the Goblins and the Shanjing Principality, the total strength of the regular army under my command is only in the early five legions, which is too weak. As for the recruits, it is natural that both the free farmers and the new citizens can participate."

"By the way, Xuanyue, who loves magic plants in Mailan Town, has recently improved a special kind of magic wheat seed. As long as each mu of land is stimulated by the power of a first-level potion, the yield can be greatly increased. This is for me. That said, it’s an easy thing to do.”

"In this way, while ensuring the food production, it can also save a lot of labor, which can just make up for the lack of military strength. Moreover, the territory has sufficient equipment. As long as the recruits are in place, a sufficient amount of high-quality equipment can be distributed immediately."

"After the initial stabilization of the surrounding area, we can proceed to establish several main armies and deploy them in the Mountain Fortress and Wangxing City. On the one hand, they will deter the opponent, and on the other hand, they will wait for the opportunity to continue to advance to the hinterland of Leng Yan."

Having said that, Lei Xiao stopped in his tracks, and concluded: "In this way, the troops in the territory will become stronger, especially the Holy Night Kingdom, which is about to move, so naturally I will not dare to act rashly. I can also feel at ease with the princes. Let's fight."

"As expected of the lord!"

Ariel's starry eyes lit up, and she continued to listen carefully.

"The only variable in this is that when the strength of the troops has not yet formed and the situation is not stable, the opponent suddenly attacks, so when I have free time, I plan to go to the Holy Night Kingdom in person to find out the reality of the opponent. It is best to be able to Find a way to temporarily stabilize the opponent."

Lei Xiao nodded, and continued to Ariel: "Apart from fighting against others, Anne is the most important thing in the future, just like what you said just now, once the status of Free Farmer is restored, At the same time, suppressing those new citizens who have privileges will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among the new citizens, which is undoubtedly a huge hidden danger."

"It is conceivable that we have just annihilated a large number of two degenerate aristocratic armies composed of new citizens. If we continue to suppress it, it will be the last straw that breaks the camel's back, and ushers in the camel's desperate counterattack. This is right in the middle of those attempts. Come back and fall into the arms of the remnants of the nobles."

"So, what I need to do is very simple. The status and rights of the free peasants must be restored, but the new citizens should not be suppressed immediately. Instead, the new citizens should be given sufficient incentives in terms of taxes, fees and wages. The benefits, and then, when the situation stabilizes, it will gradually weaken, just like boiling a frog in warm water."

"After all, under the management of these fallen nobles, these new citizens who act as pawns and live in the city are far better than the free peasants in terms of education and professionalism in all walks of life. If this part is missing People, a city will undoubtedly shut down immediately."

Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows and continued: "Of course, it will cost a lot of golden dragons, but for me, this is not a problem, and I don't need to get golden dragons from these places."

What Lei Xiao said was from the bottom of his heart. If he needed a golden dragon, Lei Xiao only needed to exchange some potions and equipment from other regions of Lengyan, or even other human nations.

As for the source of the improved treatment of the golden dragon, it is naturally obtained from the mansions of the degenerate aristocratic city lords who are rich and rich, and then used for the people.

Lei Xiao is even planning to open a few more air and land commercial routes to meet the shopping needs of the common people after he spends money, and then turn this area into a benchmark of prosperity, so as to attract other neutral cities to join. An excellent means of increasing your reputation.

As for specific economic issues, such as whether there will be inflation in the long run, it will be left to the lords of related fields led by Qin Qian in the future to solve.

For Lei Xiao, as long as he took out a little bit of benefits, it was enough to make these elites and leaders in related fields in his previous life feel grateful to him and work hard.

"It turns out that this is the case, the subordinates completely understand!"

Ariel nodded suddenly, and said involuntarily: "It really is the lord, and the subordinates really admire it!"

"Okay, now that you and I have finished the discussion, the third thing in the next plan can also be implemented."

Lei Xiao smiled faintly, and then began to read the conversation. First, he worked out some specific rules with Orr, the Marquis of Rose and other main leaders and subordinates from various places.

Then, it was passed on to every leader and subordinate in various places through reading words.

As for the trusted leaders in some areas who are not subordinate, Lei Xiao has already used the members of the shadow squadrons who have been scattered in various places to establish a perfect communication mechanism, which can also be conveyed in the first place.

After the third thing in the next plan was completed, Lei Xiao was non-stop again, ordering the leaders in various places to start implementing the fifth thing in the next step.

That is to fully publicize some of Ariel's brave performance in this battle, and further increase the prestige of the fifth princess of Lengyan.

"Ariel's brave performance on the battlefield, coupled with the third thing I did in Ariel's name, presumably her reputation will soon be able to flourish in this area, right?"

"A noble Princess Lengyan, who is desperate for the common people, is determined to end the war with war, use blood and fire to maintain the peace of the Lengyan Kingdom, and fulfill her promise, lifting the shackles of the free farmers, and retaining the freedom of the new citizens. right."

"This almost perfect image is in stark contrast to the three princes who dragged the kingdom into the abyss of war for power ~lightnovelpub.net~. There is simply no more perfect propaganda offensive than this."

"In this way, no matter in terms of morality or the will of the people, the soldiers under my command are all well-known."

After fulfilling the fifth task, Lei Xiao nodded in satisfaction.

As for the fourth matter, it is naturally the arrangement of Qin Qian and others.

However, because the area is not yet stable, Qin Qian and other lords of Xiaoshen Group have to stay in Wangxing City for a while, so they put it on hold for the time being.

"Since this morning, in order to let Qin Qian and the others guard the city with peace of mind, I have asked Orr, who is a great magician of the wind system, to take Qin Qian and other lords back to take care of the territory, so we don't have to worry about the problems of our respective territories. "

As Lei Xiao thought about it, he returned to the throne of the lord.

In the blink of an eye, it was evening.

Just when the smell of food was overflowing in the territory, Lei Xiao's reminder sounded again.
