Chapter 197： 197: Nobles without commoners (fourth more!)

"I have estimated that the fifty miles of land, 20 kilometers horizontally, and 25 kilometers straight, total an area of ​​more than 750,000 mu of land. Remove a few hills and unsuitable land for cultivation. If it can be cultivated into farmland, There are at least 580,000 mu of farmland."

Aslan reported an intuitive answer, causing many people to take a breath of air subconsciously, and the Marquis of Medea also subconsciously stopped the chopsticks.

"You are right, but for so many years, no lord is willing to go. Do you know the reason?"

Aslan shrugged and said, "What else can be the reason, fear of death, fear of losing money."

"That's right, what's the use then?" Olga said irritably.

"The noble lords are afraid of death, but some people are not afraid!" Aslan said swearingly.

The Marquis of Medea frowned slightly.

"who?"

"Ordinary sergeant of the city defense army."

Aslan added an accent to the word ‘normal’.

Natal's eyes lit up and she looked expectantly at Aslan, and Olga beside her was as uncomfortable as if she had eaten a fly.

"Could it be the civilian soldiers in the city defense army."

"bingo!"

Aslan snapped his fingers and began to explain: "All the farmland in this area will be owned by the lord, and then given to the 20,000 soldiers of the city defense army. Soldiers who are willing to go to the land can be allocated two acres of land. , Is willing to bring family members there, and every four family members can be allocated another acre of land."

"It won't be long before you can easily gather a fortress with a population of one hundred thousand." Vatini's eyes also lit up, but she soon became gloomy and uncertain.

"Give such precious land to those civilians..."

Before Vattini's words were finished, Aslan unceremoniously interrupted: "There are no civilians, nobles from there."

"The whole city is a nobleman, so who will be the servants, who will provide us with entertainment, who will work for us, and produce all kinds of daily necessities, do the noblemen do it themselves? As for slaves, it is even more of a joke. There are no civilians, there So many slaves here."

Aslan's words sounded a wake-up call for everyone, Vattini looked dazed, and Natal even fell into confusion.

The Marquis of Medea put down his chopsticks completely, folded his hands, and looked at Aslan quietly.

"go on."

"is teacher!"

"Common people and nobles are complementary to each other. I once got a data. It can be said that there will be one noble in every thousand people. This data is not an exaggeration. You can find that this is the healthiest ecological chain, no matter what. Whether the number of nobles is too large or the number of civilians is too low, it will cause an imbalance in the ecological chain."

"For example, if one day, as a nobleman, there are only dozens of civilians in the territory. Even if these civilians have to go to the ground to do the most tiring work on weekdays, can we relax? Eat and wash clothes? Who will do the work?"

"Moreover, the common people are more loyal than their nobles. After the nobles reach a certain status, they give priority to the interests of their own family."

Aslan's last sentence was a bit rebellious, but the people present were basically his own, so naturally they wouldn't be spread out indiscriminately.

Vattini also fell silent.

"Teacher! You only need to send a senior to sit in this army. Compared with other city defense forces, I just promised that the 20,000 city defense forces will only be loyal to you. Even if Earl Uther is reborn, he will not be able to give orders to this city defense force at all." Aslan continued.

The Marquis of Medea was already tempted. In fact, after the cleanup this time, she no longer wanted to entrust the lords.

At the critical moment, these lords had their own minds, and it was too tricky to deal with.

"It's just that the division of fields should not be able to guarantee the loyalty of these soldiers!" Marquis Medea picked up the chopsticks again and ate, this time the smile on her face increased a lot.

"Simple, military performance assessment. If you fail the assessment, you can still reclaim the land. As long as the soldier is still a loyal teacher and recognizes his own identity, the soldier will definitely train hard for the field under his name, and he will work harder on the battlefield. A few outstanding soldiers were selected and rewarded with a few acres of farmland. These soldiers did not dare to serve their lives."

As soon as Aslan said this, Natal and Vattini could not help but shudder, they suddenly understood why Aslan's Merlot army was so strong in fighting will.

With just a small amount of profit, the soldiers were willing to work hard for it. As time goes by, the family members in the fortress will become the best soldiers of the Marquis of Medea.

Let go of your thinking again, what would those city defense soldiers who follow the nobles think after learning about the treatment of the soldiers of the city fortress.

Over time, the soldiers of the entire city defense army will become the sharpest sword in the hands of the Marquis of Medea.

"Xiao Jiu, you finally used the right place for your flower intestines." Marquis Medea said with a chuckle.

Genalido raised his glass at the right time.

Everyone toasted to the Marquis Medea. When he was seated again, Aslan accidentally touched the chopsticks, apologized in embarrassment, and got down on the table to pick up the chopsticks.

When he picked up the chopsticks, Aslan subconsciously raised his head and saw the spring in the table.

The reason why the Marquis Medea may be too happy to eat, his feet are slightly open, but unfortunately it is too dark under the table, it looks like it is just pitch black, not far away, the Malathion is shaking his feet while eating, this habit is not good, but But it gave Aslan a chance to roll his eyes.

As for Senior Sister Natal, wearing a knight armor, there is nothing to see. As for Vattini, this woman has been tortured to a sick state by aristocratic etiquette. She always looks like an elegant lady, with her feet closed. .

"Aslan!" Genalito called subconsciously.

Aslan hurried over from the bottom of the table and said angrily, "I don't know who kicked my chopsticks."

Genalido shook his head quickly.

"Okay, it's so decided. When the contract is signed tomorrow, the piece will be taken down. Natal prepares and transfers the 20,000 city defense forces out to build a city fortress."

No matter what else, the Marquis of Medea put aside his heart, and said in a good mood: "Everyone, eat!"

At this time, everyone dared to move their chopsticks, and then they were basically dumbfounded. Their favorite deep-fried shrimp had been eaten by the Marquis of Medea.

Because Melox Province is located inland and far from the sea, it is difficult to eat fresh seafood. The Tianping Chamber of Commerce sends a caravan to the sea every month to purchase a large amount of seafood, but these seafood are frozen. , It’s hard to eat fresh seafood.

After all, it takes a month for a round trip, so in the Billy Club, the seafood feast becomes the most expensive meal in the banquet.

The Marquis of Medea can eat it once a month, which is not bad.

Among them, I love the deep-fried shrimp.
