Chapter 298： The city lord who looks like a robber

Habayashi Blood Eagle thought of the seeds he had collected again, and he gave them to the elves to plant, and said that these could be planted on flat land, as many as they wanted. But this is only a privilege for elf villages, not for other villages.

It's just that there are not so many seeds now! There will be more seeds in the future, even if all the flat land in the elf village can be planted in the future. If he planted it, he harvested it all. Anyway, there are more low slopes and hills in the Elf Village than flat land. How much can he plant?

The elves are very proficient in plants, and they were happy after watching it for a quarter of an hour. They are also worried that in the future all the refugees will be organized into village groups, and no one will manage those flat lands. These seeds are obviously not crops, but the seeds of many wild plants, so it should not be difficult to manage.

Are there any human refugees who do it like elves? have! With so many refugees, there are always some who used to have family backgrounds. After they were assigned to the village group, they didn't do any work. They spent money to buy food from the city lord and rented the land to others for planting.

Anyway, the price of food sold by the city lord is not high. Then, like an elf, spend money to buy materials to make your house beautiful and comfortable for yourself.

But these people are not as lucky as the elves, because they are not family members of internal staff, not only the materials have to be paid for by themselves, but the management staff will not specially arrange for renters to work near them, so their land is more difficult to rent out.

Because there are no refugees from village groups, they will be transferred with the progress of the project. If half of the planting is done and then transferred to a distant place, it will be a loss for the planting, and it will be useless to help others work.

But these people have a lot of ways, they hire temporary workers. As long as there are people nearby who have not entered the village group, invite them to help. How long you will work is estimated based on the annual income, and you will go to the city lord to buy food for that person as wages.

When there is no one around, he will do some work by himself, and then invite others when there are people. But you dare not agree with a person casually, approval is equivalent to a guarantee, and that person needs to bear some joint and several liabilities if he commits a crime. Light fines and heavy three-month hard labor are unavoidable. But don't worry, someone will take care of your land for you, and it will still be yours after three months of hard work.

Normally, you can think of any way to invite people or other things, as long as you let things grow in the ground. In a word, the land cannot be left empty, nor can it be planted too poorly.

Because if someone reports it, there are soldiers to investigate your output problems. If the output is too low because you don't take care of it, you will be warned, and if it is serious, you will be transferred from the village group or sent to Xuntland.

No one dared to let their allotted fields go to waste, but many of them managed to rent out the land. Because there are always people in the same village or neighboring villages who are willing to come to this kind of land, of course the land rent will be less, or even not paid. And their land was given to others to grow, so they could only buy food to eat.

If you have the money to buy, no one will blame you, and no one will manage you, as long as your own land is not abandoned. This kind of people often had a relatively rich family background, so the place they lived in was also beautifully decorated. Some people couldn't find anyone to rent it for a while, and even gave money to villagers in the same village to plant.

Habayashi Blood Eagle doesn't care about these things, he still hopes that everyone can make the house look like a villa. Anyway, after a few years of war, it will be his own. They can do whatever they want, and if you have money, you can spend it.

The store is all mine! Food is not allowed to be transported out of Hinterland, and it is not allowed to be wasted. How much can you eat alone? Anyway, no matter how it is paid out, the final money will still go into the pocket of Habayashi Blood Eagle.

The barren hills and slopes are also not allowed to be abandoned. The barren hills and slopes in your village can be decided by your village collectively. But no matter whether it is necessary or not, it must not be abandoned. It must be fully planted with fruit trees, and any fruit trees can be planted.

If you want to plant it, you have to manage it like a field, and the officials in charge will give food subsidies based on the minimum standard of flat land grain. In other words, one mu of fruit trees is equivalent to one mu of low-yield fields. Having said that, in actual operation, the subsidized grain for one acre of fruit trees is still a little lower than the grain yield for one mu of low-yielding land.

If you don’t want it, it must be planted, and all the barren hills in the village must be planted with the same kind of fruit trees. As for what kind of fruit trees to decide by the village itself, and then report to the competent officials, the competent officials will make the final decision according to the situation. Generally speaking, most of the time, the officials in charge will agree to the things that have been decided in the village.

After planting, you don't need to take care of it, and those fruit trees will belong to the city lord from now on. The magistrates in charge of the city would send those coolies to manage it, and it was the lightest of all coolies.

This is a difficult question to choose, some villages want it and others don't. Because the fruit trees take several years to bear fruit, many people think that maybe the war will be over before the fruit trees bear fruit, and they will be sent back to China.

Because they are just refugees from the Stormwind Kingdom, they can only take refuge in Hinterland and cannot live permanently. Because the Stormwind Kingdom would not allow it. As for what the elves think, no one knows at present, because the elves have not publicly expressed their position. In such an era, population is also an important resource for a country. The current situation is only more special.

After the war, those human aristocratic lords, UU Reading would not allow such a bad situation to happen without a single citizen in their territory. Therefore, most of the villages don't want it. They just plant small fruit tree seedlings and hand them over to the officials in charge.

However, since the news of the fall of Stormwind City came, many refugees felt that the restoration of the country was nowhere in sight. The refugees who had given up on the orchard asked their respective village chiefs to go to the officials in charge to return to the orchard.

But this time the officials in charge refused to give it, saying that it was the private property of the city lord, and it needed the consent of the city lord, and they dared not make a private decision. So, until now this problem has not been solved.

Habayashi Blood Eagle knew about this and said that it can be returned, but an orchard of at least the same area must be planted for the city lord in the southern hilly area. As for how much more it may be, it depends on how long it takes from the time you give up the orchard to the time you ask for it back.

The longer this time period is, the more planting will be required for the city lord, and the area will increase accordingly. Because the city lord is in charge of it during this period of time, it is considered as the city lord's working hours, so it is necessary to plant some fruit trees for him. Use the newly planted fruit tree area to offset the working hours of the city lord.

Generally, the planting time is limited to one year. Counting from the day when the orchard was taken back, within one year, the village that took back the orchard had to plant an orchard of a specified area for the city lord. Otherwise, the officials in charge will still take the orchard back to the city lord.

As for how to arrange the labor for planting, it is up to the villagers to adjust their labor. There is a boat at the pier to pick up people, and those who go out to work have to pay half of the food themselves, and the other half is paid by the city lord.

This choice has stumped many villages. The villagers did not dare to complain about the city lord's plundering and robbery method, because they were the ones who gave up the orchard at the beginning.
