Chapter 159

Victor's Pinghu camp was built at the entrance of Heihe River and Pinghu Lake. After decades of repair, the camp has all kinds of facilities. It has become more and more like a large village. Victor named it Hekou village.

Three kilometers south of Hekou village, there is a beautiful valley where Victor's alchemical militia built a manor as their residence.

The manor covers an area of 15 mu, surrounded by an eight meter high iron oak fence, with four arrow towers. Most of the houses inside are wooden, and the main building is a three-story green brick villa. The manor is heavily guarded inside and outside. There are 40 alchemical militia as guards. There are four alchemical war mastiffs lurking in the mountains outside, and ten alchemical crows are monitoring the wind and grass around the manor.

In addition to alchemy creatures, there are 12 War Bear veterans and 15 maids in the manor. These veterans are compiling the mercenary regiment action manual according to Victor's requirements, and the maids are responsible for taking care of their daily life. These maids were chosen by Lilia herself. They were all strong women with big arms and waist. Victor couldn't help sighing after seeing them. He always thought Lilia wouldn't be jealous. Now it seems that it's just a misunderstanding.

"Victor, we have 726 wild boars in captivity and killed more than 300 adult wild boars. The pork, wild fruits, wild vegetables and mushrooms have begun to be pickled and dried, and the collected nuts are piled up in the warehouse. With 500000 pounds of rye flour sent by York's family, our grain reserves are enough for 2000 people to spend the water season, huh." Lilia turned crimson and twisted her body so that Victor's hand could explore her skirt.

Victor is really not short of food now. After receiving Victor's scroll, Sylvia was very happy and ordered people to send a large number of food. In addition, with various animal and plant resources in the territory, not to mention 2000 people, 3000 people can afford it. Victor is short of labor.

"How many free people have we gathered now?" Victor caressed Lilia's smooth thighs and whispered in her ear.

Lilia gasped softly, "we caught two more groups of 239 people, all of whom came from Buryat." Holding Victor's mischievous hand, she said anxiously, "Victor, most of them are the leaders of Baron Matthew Buryat. Why is Baron Matthew also a feudal nobleman? Is it really appropriate for us to kill his vassal?"

The vassal is an upper class with status. The Lord may not ask about the life and death of the lower class, but he will trace the whereabouts of the vassal. Baron Matthew's vassal disappeared in Randall. He must say that he should at least send troops to search. They must have a conflict with victor. That's why Barol suggested driving them away. It is a flaw in itself that Lingmin stayed and FengChen disappeared. The trouble is obvious, and Lilia sees it, but she doesn't understand that Victor must do so.

"Lilia, no matter whether I kill those people or not, the contradiction between us and Baron Matthew is inevitable. The Buryat family needs food, and although I need a population, it is not unlimited. If there are more than 3000 people, the resources of the territory will be destroyed. If I let those people go, they will spread the news back and bring more people, because their territory has been lost It's time for food. More and more people will come, and eventually it will become an organized confrontation. Baron Matthew is bound to find an excuse to compete with us for the forest.

Lilia, I can accept the population led by Buryat to a limited extent, but I must not allow the Buryat family to seek to seize my resources. Since conflict is inevitable, why should I be polite to them? Cutting off the tentacles of the Buryat family and leaving the population we need is the best choice. It's a big deal to fight. "

Victor said easily that he had no psychological burden in the conflict with the Buryat family. In terms of background, Victor is the uncrowned king with his back on the man horse hills. In terms of strength, he has more than 900 alchemy militia, including 85 cattle subduing militia equipped with ant man armor. Even if Viscount Buryat is not dead, he is just two great knights. The great knight was besieged by the fierce and fearless alchemy militia. How could he escape Victor's shooting?

"Well, I see." Lilia leaned against Victor's chest and said softly.

"Don't worry about the problem of the Buryat family. What response do you have to the policy of private plots?" Asked victor.

Lilia perked up, sat up straight and said, "everyone is very happy, especially the free people. They have worked a lot more actively. However, our members of the work point system think that the free people should not enjoy their private plots."

Private plot is a welfare policy of Victor for new members. It is almost the same as that of China. Both the collar people and the free people under Victor's command can obtain a small piece of land. The collar people have three pieces of land per person and the free people have one piece of land per person. The output of these lands is completely owned by themselves or their families without paying tribute to victor. However, these lands cannot be included in the ten Mu standard of the vassal, and once they become vassal, the private plots will be returned.

That day, Bruce talked about the hunting of wild boars, which made Victor realize that there was a huge loophole in the internal affairs system he designed: there was no place for latecomers at all.

At the beginning, Victor territory developed so fast that everyone was stunned. Because his development plan is essentially different from other lords, plan and freedom. Supporting this distinction is the work point system. Now, Victor has made more ambitious agricultural and water conservancy development plans, but his work point system has been closed.

Victor's agricultural planning and water conservancy planning require a large population. To be exact, it needs a large number of effective labor. Without the work point system, will free people become an effective labor force? Victor pessimistically found that this was almost impossible because the free people were not sticky enough to the Lord.

When a lord declares sovereignty over a territory, he must first build a castle in a suitable place as his political center. Then, the Lord needs to build towns and villages to expand his control over the territory. Towns and villages choose to be built in places with water sources. Therefore, the more water sources in the territory, the more towns and villages, and the stronger the Lord's control over the territory, and the land outside the Lord's control cannot be counted as his territory.

The effective control range of a village is the activity area where villagers can go out during the day and come back at night, almost 300 square kilometers. Outside this range is the wild. The wild inhabits orcs, monsters, and beasts, which are very dangerous. Ordinary people cannot survive in the dangerous wild. They must rely on the protection of the village. Therefore, the Lord protects ordinary people, while ordinary people can only accept the exploitation of the Lord.

In this relationship of protection and worship, the status of free people is the lowest. The Lord and the free people have no relationship of rights and obligations. The free people do not need to serve the Lord, and the Lord will not interfere with the affairs of the free people. The Lord only received offerings from the vassal, who hired the free people to work and paid them. When the territory is attacked, the vassals and neighbors can give priority to entering the castle for refuge, while the free people have to find their own way out. In order to obtain practical protection and better treatment, free people strive to become leading people.

Within the actual control range of the Lord, the collar people enjoy the protection of the Lord. In addition, in addition to accepting employment, the collar people have the right to rent land and retain 20% of the income. The collar people also serve the Lord free of charge. Every year, during the two months of the fire season and the two months of the wind season, they should serve the Lord in agriculture and harvest hay or crops. During the construction of the castle, the leaders should serve in turn until the castle is completed. When the territory is violated, the leader has the responsibility to defend the home and castle. The leader can call on the leader to attack the monsters in the territory, but cannot force them. And we can't drive our neighbors to attack the territory of other families.

After carefully combing the various factors of the Lord's ruling territory, Victor found that the wild monsters were the reason why the free people and the collar people relied on the Lord. However, there are few monster groups in the human horse hills. In Victor's water conservancy development blueprint, there is no living space for monsters.

Without monsters, do free people still need to rely on the Lord? Will you still accept exploitation? Will you still serve? The answer is obvious. Isn't that how Victor brought those large and small free private lands?

Building artificial rivers is a long-term and arduous project. Even in the highly centralized ancient Chinese country, it will cause public resentment, not to mention the enfeoffment system formed by monsters. Even if Victor fills everyone's stomach, the leading people will not be willing to work hard for a long time. If they are in a hurry, they are just hiding in the wild and becoming mountain people. If Victor dares to take coercive measures, the church doesn't mind locking him up.

Victor needs to redesign a benefit distribution system to urge ordinary people to support his plan. Before that, he needs to ensure that the new members will not break away from his rule. Alchemical war mastiff can play the role of monster, but it is not a long-term plan. Therefore, the policy of private plots came into being.

"Lilia, most of the people who live in the territory are collar citizens. They have to be free citizens because they don't have food. When they get through the difficulties, they must want to go back to Buryat, and private plots can retain many people. Three parts of the land can't grow crops, that is, grow some vegetables, which does little harm to us, but gains a lot. You know, the work point system can't be opened any more Let go, and the private plot policy can attract hardworking and down-to-earth free people to join us. " Victor pinched Lilia's chest and said with a smile, "well, go and find barrow. I have a task for him."

Two hours later, agent barrow appeared in Victor's study.

"Sir, what can I do for you?" Barol asked respectfully.

"I want you to check the situation of the Buryat family. I don't need any confidential information, but I want to know their strength, background and the relationship between their members. The more detailed the better. Especially the situation of Baron Matthew." Said Victor lightly.

Victor killed Baron Matthew's vassal. The collision between them was inevitable. He naturally wanted to know about his opponent. Barol was ready and full of expectation. He said in a deep voice, "my Lord, I need someone."

"Of course, I'll give you 10 elite soldiers. Each of them has the same strength as shack, enough to protect you and the little spy. In the future, they will be in your charge." Victor nodded.

Barol was ecstatic. He had seen shack crush the paladin. In Barrow's view, shack is a martyr comparable to the trainee knight, and Victor gives him 10 powerful martyrs at a time, which shows how strong the Lord's strength is, which also shows that he has been favored by Victor.

Barol restrained his excitement and said in a deep voice, "my Lord, I'm going to Heibao town to find some people."
