The Most Lord

Chapter 72: three things

Alan has already spoken in public a few times, and he no longer becomes nervous when looking at the crowd below as he did at the beginning.

"My name is Alan Senlan, the baron of the kingdom, the lord of China, and I will be your lord in the future."

Allen introduced himself first. Pointing out his identity as a baron is not for Allen to show off, but for the people to trust him more. In the eyes of ordinary civilians, the Baron of the Kingdom is a great figure.

"You may not know that recently a rebellious kingdom has appeared in the Nice City area, the Blue Shirt Army. This blue shirt army arbitrarily attacked the Kingdom Territory, and half of the territory in the Nice City area has been captured by the Blue Shirt Army!"

Allen's words caused an uproar among the civilians in the audience. These civilians did not know until now that the Nice City area has been chaotic.

Nearly half of the territory has fallen into the hands of the traitors!

"And the Lord of Folkestone, Spike, as a baron of the kingdom, does not want to serve the kingdom, instead he has taken refuge in the rebel blue shirts. This behavior is simply unforgivable!"

"I was ordered by the kingdom to defeat the Folkestone leader, and I have now killed the anti-thief Spike. Starting today, the Folkestone leader has officially merged into the Chinese leader."

"From today onwards, Folkestone will no longer exist, and you will officially become the people of Huaxia."

There was a shout of applause from the crowd, and the people expressed that the insurgents and thieves like Spike were more than guilty of death.

"But the current situation is not optimistic."

Allen continued.

"The blue shirts may attack our territory at any time. The blue shirts can capture nearly half of the territory of Nice City in just a few days. Naturally, I don't need to say more about the strength of the blue shirts."

"The soldiers of the Blue Shirts are all brutal and vicious. They kill people like hemp, burn and looting wherever they go. If you want to survive this blue shirt chaos, please cooperate with the territorial arrangements."

Allen is deliberately blackening the blue shirts, so that the people in Folkestone Town feel a kind of pressure from the blue shirts, so that they can more obey Allen's management.

Sure enough, when the people heard Alan's words, they all showed fear and expressed their willingness to follow any arrangements made by the lord.

The cruel and murderous image of the Blue Shirts initially took root in their hearts.

"Today, I mainly announce three things!" Allen said.

"First, the name of the town will be officially changed from Folkestone Town to Fengyun Town from today."

The name change was indifferent, but Allen really didn't like the name Folkestone Town, so he simply changed the name. As for why it was changed to Fengyun Town, it was because this was the first town captured by Huaxia Ling, which represented that Huaxia Ling had officially joined this unpredictable troubled world.

People naturally won't have any opinions about changing the name of the town, even though this name is a bit confusing for Harilan people, just like the Huaxia collar.

"Second, cancel all miscellaneous taxes in the territories. For the time being, only two types of taxes will be levied on the territories, agricultural tax and commercial tax. Farmers pay agricultural tax at the rate of ten taxes and one tax. Business tax payable by businesses, the tax rate is five taxes and one tax."

When the people heard Alan's words, they all froze in place.

This is a little different from what Allen thought. Allen thought that after the news was announced, the people would shout loudly.

Because the tax rate set by Allen is too low.

In this world, the lord who sets the tax rate as ten tax three is already a very benevolent lord, and the tax rate of most territories is more than 50%!

The nobles were like a group of vampires exploiting the people's fatness and anointing on the civilians, and the civilians in most of the territories could barely survive. The more remote the small territory, the more so.

Allen asked this morning that Folkestone received the previous tax rate of two taxes and one tax!

"Lord, what you said is true?"

In the crowd, an old man on crutches asked tremblingly.

They are not unexcited, but unbelievable! On the mainland, I have never heard of any lord who would set such a low tax rate!

Even if Allen sets the tax rate at ten taxes and three taxes, they will be grateful to Allen.

Allen nodded: "I promise in the name of a nobleman, no jokes!"

"Long live Lord Lord!"

"Long live the Huaxia leader!"

The people below were affirmed by Allen, and suddenly cheered loudly.

The taxation has changed from the previous two taxes and one tax to ten taxes, which means that they will have more food and money for their own use, and their living standards will be significantly improved.

Ordinary civilians have no big ambitions. What they need is simple and live better!

Allen found through the system's territory attribute panel that the people's minds of the residents of Fengyun Town instantly rose to a new level.

This is because Allen just announced the news, and the residents still have doubts in their hearts. When this tax plan is really implemented, Allen believes that the people's mind will usher in another leap.

Allen waited for the crowd to calm down before announcing the third thing.

"Third, the territory will start conscription from today. Men between the ages of sixteen and forty, regardless of whether you have the talent for cultivation or not, as long as they are fit, can sign up to join the army. After joining the army, family members can enjoy military treatment."

"Military benefits include exemption of agricultural tax, halving of commercial tax, and priority for protection and evacuation in wartime..."

Allen babbled a bunch of military treatments, which made the people below listen to it.

Compared with ordinary civilians, this military member is simply a privileged class! Although the privilege is not as obvious as the nobility.

Suddenly, all the young and middle-aged who were eligible to join the army had the idea of ​​joining the army to fight for the privileges of their families.

Allen smiled slightly as he watched the crowd's reaction. He believes that when the territory is officially enlisted, men of the right age in the territory will definitely scramble to sign up for the army.

This speech was not long, and after finishing these three things, Allen let the people disband.

When the venue was over, all the people present were extremely excited and hurried home to share the good news they heard today with their families.

"Lord Lord, where are we going next?"

After the people dispersed, Galen asked.

"Go to the barracks, I want to see the group of descendants."

If soldiers recruited from the people still need to be trained or transformed through light infantry barracks, then these descendants can be used immediately.

Allen rushed towards the barracks under the leadership of Galen and Swain, but was stopped by a group of civilians halfway through.

Most of these civilians are old men and women of a few years old, and when they saw Alan, they were very excited.

"Lord Lord, you are so kind, please let our children go!"

"My benevolent lord, York has been an obedient child since he was a child. If he knew that the Folkestone family were rebels, he would never stand up for a tiger!"

"Yes, Lord Lord, how can these children have the courage to conspire? They are all deceived by the Folkestone family, they don't know it!"

These old people cried bitterly after stopping Allen, crying and begging for their children.

Allen felt confused at first, but after listening to a few sentences, he realized that these people should be the parents of the soldiers in custody.

"Quiet everyone!"

Allen raised his arms and shouted.

The old people stopped and looked at Allen with hopeful eyes one by one.

Allen slapped his head with his hand, he couldn't stand this look and this atmosphere the most.

Don't say that I have never thought about executing the soldiers led by Folkestone. Even if I have decided to execute them, I think these old people will change their minds with such a look.

"Please rest assured, elders, as long as your children are willing to surrender, I promise not to hurt them at all."

When the old people heard Allen's assurance, they immediately relieved their minds, surrounded Allen and talked about it again.

"Don't worry, Lord Lord, you are so kind. If these stinky boys don't know what is good or bad, tell us, let's go and teach them severely!"

"Yes, that is, Lord Lord, if those boys are not obedient, tell us, we will teach them a lesson!"

Galen and Swain frowned as they watched these old people who wantonly surround Allen.

Allen smiled helplessly. After all, these old people were still afraid that their children would be killed by themselves if they refused to surrender. This was to tell themselves in advance that if their children refused to surrender, they would tell them and they would persuade them.

After Allen once again promised that he would never kill, these old talents dispersed. When they dispersed, they were grateful to Allen again.

"My lord, your attitude towards these people is a bit too kind."

After the old people left, Swain said.

"You are the lord. You are all your people. You can be kind to them, but you can't condone them, let alone guarantee them."

"Like this kind of behavior of blocking the lord halfway, we must resolutely put an end to it! Otherwise, whoever has something in the future will stop the lord halfway to avenge the grievance, what is it like."

Allen scratched his head and sighed, "Hey, I understand these principles, but it's not easy for these old people."

"Pity the parents of the world!"

Swain smiled and didn't say more.

However, Swain had already made a decision in his heart, and in the future, he must find an opportunity to do something to make Lord Lord change and get rid of the problem of "kindness".

Because of blind kindness, sometimes it hurts yourself!

(I had a fever when I got home at night, so I tried it with a thermometer, and it was just 38 degrees.

After taking a shower, I fell asleep, but when I woke up, I felt a headache.

After struggling to code this chapter, I hurried to sleep.

If you find any typos in this chapter, logically confusing sentences, unclear content, etc., please read it first and change it tomorrow.

Thank you all for your support! )
