Chapter 251

In the afternoon, the top leaders of Randall family gathered in the government hall to participate in the round table held by the Lord.

When the village heads walked into the meeting room one after another, they were surprised to find that there was one more person in the meeting room.

This is a thin young man with a pair of eyes rolling around, looking very clever. At the moment, he was standing behind the LORD with a flattering face. When he saw the village chiefs coming in, he bowed and said hello, just like a monkey.

Victor's village heads are different now. Everyone manages thousands of villagers. They are used to the flattery of free people and become arrogant and reserved one by one. The young man's clothes were decent, but his attitude was the same as those of the free people. If the village heads wouldn't look at him in the eyes at ordinary times, it would be different if the young man stood behind the Lord. So the village heads suppressed their doubts and nodded back at the young man.

After the village chiefs saluted the Lord and the three ladies, Victor said, "sit down, who... You too." The young man quickly found a seat and sat down. Victor continued, "let me introduce you. This is... What's your original name?"

"Monkey!" The young man stood up and bowed to everyone present. "I'm a monkey."

Many free people don't have serious names, and orphans without parents are often named after nicknames. It's not strange for the young man to call himself a monkey, but the people still couldn't help laughing. Victor smiled and said, "the monkey is too ugly. You'll be called Munk in the future."

"Thank you, my Lord!"

The monkey trembled and thanked, and his thin face was abnormally flushed with excitement. Victor looked at him and said, "Munk will succeed Linda as my sheriff."

This sentence immediately caused a commotion in the meeting place. The village heads looked at Linda and Nelson with surprised eyes. Seeing that their husband and wife seemed nothing, they quieted down again.

Victor had a panoramic view of the village head's reaction, which was also expected by him.

After dealing with the smuggling Caravan and mercury, Victor began to solve the territory's internal affairs. After three days of investigation and thinking, Victor realized that the inherent administrative system could not adapt to the rapid development of Randall collar, and the most intuitive performance was the shortage of manpower!

Victor now has 913 members under the work point system, 174 minors, 23 elderly people who can't walk, 176 pregnant women, and only 540 people who can do things, including 250 young men in Nelson's escort, 21 in Linda's public security office, 106 female members under Lilia's hands, and the remaining 163 not only lead more than 12000 refugees to engage in productive labor, Also manage the affairs and trade between Pinghu Town and six villages.

Randall is a family with a history of only three years. Naturally, he lacks loyal and capable vassals. Victor can "create people", but he can't create managers with self-awareness, and the 15 year service life of alchemists is doomed that they can't be managers.

In fact, Randall collar is not short of people. More than 7000 of the more than 12000 people have allocated private plots. The tall dwarf can always choose some available people. However, members of the work point system would rather be tired like a dog than find some help.

The problem here is somewhat intriguing.

According to the general understanding of the vassal, the senior family leaders, including Lilia, could not trust the free people, which was only one aspect. The deeper reason is that they are close to each other, exclude outsiders, are unwilling to thin their rights, and are unwilling to absorb fresh blood for the family. The uneasiness of the village chiefs when they heard that Linda had been replaced by monkeys confirmed Victor's view.

This small collective consciousness not only hinders the development of Randall's collar, but also reflects the self-confidence of the members of the work point system.

Strictly speaking, members of the work point system are not feudal officials in the real sense. They have neither received the education of feudal officials nor the ability of feudal officials, nor the wealth of feudal officials. Naturally, they cannot be as confident as feudal officials. Members of the work point system see the free people in their territory as they saw themselves three years ago. Their vigilance, rejection and suppression are entirely out of their instinct.

So far, the members of the work points system have only led the people, and the work points for land has not been fully implemented. Victor can understand the anxiety and selfishness of the members of the work point system, but their mentality affects the overall situation, that's not enough!

Beating can no longer solve this problem. Victor decided to make major adjustments and changes to the personnel system, administrative system, military system, public security system, interest distribution system, and even ideological cognition.

In short, Victor has to stop the knife against the vassal!

The vassal system has been implemented for thousands of years and has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. It is not easy to change it. Victor moved out of a work point system and ended in failure, but he had to push for change. The threat of ant man is imminent. Is there time to slowly cultivate family vassals?

If you don't change, you'll lose your pants!

Fortunately, this is a blood only world. As a noble Lord with extraordinary blood, Victor can decide the affairs led by Randall, and others can only obey orders. For example, Victor changed the sheriff, and the members of the work point system dared not disobey his orders even if they were dissatisfied.

However, the members of the work point system are still the backbone of Randall family. In the process of change, Victor still needs to pay attention to some skills for them.

The first step, of course, is to establish the vassal status of the members of the work point system.

"I hold this round table today to solve the manpower problem of the territory and adjust the family's personnel arrangements and policies." Looking around the nervous village head, Victor said, "first of all, I want to announce something."

"As we all know, I have not canonized any other vassals except Lord Nelson. As the Lord of Randall, I now give you the status of vassals in advance and fulfill the promise of work points for land. Lilia, let's start!"

"Yes." Lilia stood up and saluted Victor, then took out a sheepskin scroll and said, "the Randall family has 913 members of the work point system and is divided into 261 families. Lord Randall will canonize these 261 families as vassal families. From now on, the vassal families can exchange work points for land, and every 1000 work points for 1 mu of land."

"According to the work score records, the Randall family will take 18538 mu of land as the fief of the vassal family."

There was an uproar at the meeting. Some village heads were even secretly wiping tears. They spent three years to achieve the dreams of three generations. Their sweat and loyalty were rewarded at this moment. However, Victor had a bigger surprise for them.

"According to the agreement, the promise of work points for land will remain valid for the next seven years. The vassal families can continue to earn work points for land."

When the collar people get 10 mu of land, they can become vassals, which is only the starting point of their struggle. In order to get more land, the vassal family will show greater enthusiasm to serve the Lord. However, the population will increase, but the number of cultivated land is difficult to increase. The Lord will not reward his vassal with land easily.

Randall's work point system families can exchange more than 50 mu of land, and more than 100 mu. Victor still won't give up. He will keep his promise and allocate more land to work point families. According to Victor's plan, seven years later, each vassal family should have at least 300 mu of land.

Victor's generous distribution of land was due to the large amount of cultivated land and to tie the members of the work point system firmly to Randall's collar.

After all, the members of the work point system and Victor only got along for more than three years. When Randall was attacked by ant people again, no one can guarantee whether they are really reliable. In the current situation, Victor must first ensure that the members of the work point system firmly support himself. Then, allocating enough real estate to members of the work point system has become the only option. More than 300 mu of land is enough for them to lay down their lives for Randall.

"As Lord, I have the responsibility to ensure the livelihood of the family vassal." Victor stood up and said solemnly, "I officially announce that I will exempt the new vassal from three years of sacrifice, provide three years of seeds for the vassal family free of charge, and give each vassal family two mares, 4 Qianniu, 20 sheep and 15 pigs."

"Three years later, Randall's vassal families only need to pay me 40% of the sacrifice. Vassal and vassal families can rent 80 mu of cultivated land and retain 30% of the output. I promise that this family resolution will not be changed within 50 years!"

Since the implementation of the feudal system, the distribution of land and property has never changed. The church first took 10% of the output as the 11 tax, and the collar people received 20% of the remaining property as the reward for renting the land. The vassal retained 50% of the income of the fief and paid 50% for worship, but there was no need to pay taxes to the king. The collar mainly took 20% of the actual income as the annuity as a tribute to the king.

Victor's family resolution changed the traditional way of distribution. He increased the income of vassal and collar families at the cost of reducing his own income.

From the modern point of view, this is actually a subsidy to farmers, so as to stimulate farmers' work enthusiasm and promote the development of the whole agriculture and animal husbandry. Victor's confidence in doing so lies in Randall's seed yield of 1:6 and the new farming and animal husbandry system, while the traditional seed yield ratio is only 1:2 or 1:3. But in the eyes of the village chiefs, this is the generosity and kindness of the Lord.

Village head Maureen was the first to stand up. He bent his knees and said, "my generous and kind Master, the respected Viscount Randall. I Maureen and my descendants swear to be loyal to you and the Randall family and never betray from generation to generation!"

"I, Dean, and my children and grandchildren swear to be loyal to my great master, Lord Randall. Never betray from generation to generation!"

"I swear to be loyal to the Randall family..."

"I Kent..."

The village heads followed suit, and the scene became chaotic. Victor waited for everyone to show their loyalty before waving them to sit down.

The peace of mind has been eaten, and the relationship between the village heads and the territory has become closer. Now we can implement the second step of change and unify our thinking and cognition.
