Chapter 581

In this era, the tenant farmers yearn for their own land and the identity of a free citizen. In other words, in any era, the lower class yearns for the upper class.

With an example and a clear system, the fighting capacity of the militia under Wu Ming's command is beyond imagination.

In just one month, they almost swept through the bandits, wild people, and wild animals around the Tucker mountains, sending a steady stream of spoils to Carlos manor.

Of course, even with the leadership of Wu Ming, casualties are inevitable. However, the control within five people and the rotation of recuperation have not reduced the enthusiasm of the militia.

But at this time, Wu Ming chose the Hui army training.

After all, all the worthwhile targets around us have been uprooted, and it's not worth the loss to clean up next.

Moreover, through this training, he has thoroughly carried out his authority, and got a militia team that can be called elite in this era, which is enough!

"Oh, my God!"

However, when he returned to the manor, he saw Amelia's broken face: "my master, do you know how many people you sent?"

She said in a voice almost like the cry of the dead: "five hundred seventy-two! There are five hundred seventy-two serfs, including a lot of women and children. Are you going to sell them all? It's better to do it as soon as possible, because they have almost finished our grain reserves! "

"I'm sorry! My beautiful housekeeper

Wu Ming shook his head and said with a smile, "actually, I'm not going to sell any of them. I want them to work for me!"

"Are you serious? Sir

Amelia looked at him with a fool's eye: "where are we going to find so much land to settle these serfs? They are almost twice as many as our landlords!"

In fact, to settle the serfs according to the current standard, Wu Ming had to double his territory.

This is almost the size of a baron collar, and even Baron Terry, it is a big trouble to take over so many serfs.

"I'm going to let some of them cultivate my private land, or share the land of those tenants, and liberate them from the land. After all, I trust them a little more than these wild people..."

Wu Ming felt that now he could explain his plan to the housekeeper: "I have a plan for the future of the territory. First of all, I'm going to formulate a policy. Any serf who Carlos takes over can pay for their share of land! I know they don't have the money, but it doesn't matter. I accept payment by instalments for several years or even decades. When they have paid off the money completely and bought the land, I will admit their identity as free citizens! "

"But... If you do that, the wheat on the land..."

Amelia asked foolishly, then blushed under Wu Ming's smiling gaze and asked a stupid question.

"The farm work on the land is naturally undertaken by these wild people. Of course, it's only part of the work that can be digested... So I'm going to build a lot of workshops to purify salt, make glass and an iron and steel factory!"

Agriculture can absorb too few people, the real big head, or industry! A large factory can accommodate thousands of people, tens of thousands of people, which is a piece of cake.

Of course, Wu Ming can't afford such a large-scale construction now, but even if the most common handicraft workshop, as long as it forms a large-scale industry, it is more than enough to accommodate his hundreds of people.

"Salt, glass, steel?"

Amelia seemed to grasp something: "how many workshops are you going to open? Let these slaves work for you? "

"It's almost like this. I've worked out several technologies that should bring us a lot of profits!"

Now, when you gain identity and certain strength and can resist coveting, the things of previous life can be taken out.

In what position, do what, this is the principle of Qi and personality.

"But building a workshop requires a lot of raw materials and manpower..."

Amelia is a little dizzy and can't keep up with Wu Ming's thinking.

"Hands, aren't these slaves ready-made? You give them black bread and vegetable soup every day, but don't let them work. It's easy to have big problems! "

Wu Ming glanced at Amelia reproachfully: "we must let them work from morning till night, empty their strength and exhaust their spirit. Only in this way can such slaves have no spare time to think about other things!"

"As for the initial start-up funds, I still have some savings here, and you should not underestimate our tenant farmers... In the face of the temptation to obtain land and free people, I believe they will burst out with amazing enthusiasm!"

Not to mention anything else, just this attack, Wu Ming's dozens of militiamen and those who later exchanged support earned a lot of spoils and bonuses.

Now, through the share of land, the money will continue to fall into Wu Ming's hands, becoming the first bucket of money to promote industrial development in his territory.

"And... Through labor, we can distinguish the lazy from the diligent among the slaves, so as to prepare for the diversion and differential treatment in the future!"

……

With Wu Ming's suggestions, Amelia's look was more than just a surprise.

She could not imagine that William, who won the title by force, had such an idea in business.

"Really... Really..."

After thinking for a long time, she couldn't think of any suitable words to describe Wu Ming. At last, she sighed: "my master, if you are in business, you will be the most successful profiteer!"

"Ha ha... You are wrong!"

Wu Ming said with a smile: "the real successful businessman is to invest in the monarch and kingdom, and manipulate the whole aristocratic class with the power of money."

……

Pop!

The next day, under the whip and stick, Wu Ming began to work hard to clean up the savage slaves he had brought with him.

Although it is not ready to start construction, Wu Ming has already inspected the territory and designated a special industrial area for foundation leveling and road repair. This kind of trivia can be started.

And with the promulgation of new laws in his territory, the whole Karos community was boiling.

"As long as we redeem our share of the land, we can become free people?"

An old man clung to Geoff's hand: "you didn't lie to me?"

"That's what the notice at the manor court says!"

"If you don't believe it, you can ask Dean and some of them. Because of their bravery, they have been given the status of free people by the Lord, and even gave them a share of the land," he said with a wry smile

"In that case..."

The old man gritted his teeth: "I will send my little grandson to join the army, and go to the Lord to buy that piece of cultivated land!"

"Yo

Joe was a little surprised. According to his estimation, it would take at least ten years for the tenant families to redeem their land.

But I didn't expect the old man to be so rich.

"Did luck dig up any treasure or inherit any property? I haven't heard anything before. "

He sighed in his heart and said in a mysterious way: "in fact... The battlefield is very dangerous. If it's just for the purpose of obtaining the identity of a free citizen, I have a better way."

"What can I do?"

The old man's interest was aroused and he promised to have a good drink.

After getting this assurance, joff said mysteriously, "do you know what those slaves are doing?"

"It seems that it's going to build something. It should be Lord's castle, isn't it?"

The old man guessed uncertainly.

"No, sir, he has no intention of building a castle. He is going to build many workshops! Priority should be given to recruiting and receiving people, and pay them monthly! "

Joe blinked: "I think you can send your little grandson to the workshop, and even if you can't, you can learn a craft. Even if you go to other big cities, it will be useful."

"To be a craftsman?"

The old man blinked his eyes. For the tenants' families of the times, a handicraft worker with the status of a free citizen is already a very decent person.

And there was not much danger, which immediately moved him. After thanking Joe several times, he left.

Chauffeur watched him leave and walked around the territory. From time to time, he could hear cheers.

I don't know how many families are secretly calculating their family background, preparing to buy their own shares of land and free identity from the Lord.

The whole territory is full of vitality.

Yes, it's vitality!

Joe chewed a straw and thought silently.

For the arrival of Sir William, he had a resistance, but the fact has proved that the other side brought a new life to Carlos.

The other side is brave and strong. He is a good Lord who can protect the people. He is also very kind. This time, the militia has subsidies and care for both the minor and serious injuries. As for those who died in the war, their families immediately gained the identity of condolence money and free people.

Is it worthwhile to follow such a lord even if he died?

Suddenly, the corner of his eyes was a little wet, and he prayed to all the gods devoutly: "the omnipotent gods, please bless our Lord sir! Let him always lead us to a bright future

……

A few days later, with the arrival of various raw materials and tools, the construction of the workshop officially began.

Wu Ming has a subtle look after his tour.

Don't underestimate the trailer's farming ability. As long as you give him time, he is sure to turn Carlos into the commercial pearl of the whole windfly plain and even the Searle continent in a few years.

Of course, at that time, his knighthood will certainly not be suppressed.

"I'm really looking forward to the change after accumulating strength!"

Wu Ming's eyes were deep, and he seemed to have seen through everything: "moreover, from the moment of selling goods, what name will those jealous people put on me? Salt knight? Glass knight? Or the merchant knight
