The Lord Who Wants to Be Emperor

Chapter 108: Chapter 108: Be a Host Together

Obviously, Vatini is planning to abandon Baron Jimmy.

As long as Baron Jimmy is fed to Aslan, the losses of other lords may be less.

Because of this, other lords consciously distanced themselves from Baron Jimmy, even his cousin, the cousin who took his own sister.

The only thing he can do now is how to protect himself. As long as the territory is still in his hands, he has a chance to stand up. He tries his best to calculate all the property in the territory.

Aslan's carriage entered the camp, and Gao Wen ran over with the officers of the Melo Army ecstatically.

"See Lord Lord!"

Gao Wen shouted loudly, and the others also looked at Aslan frantically.

Aslan smiled and waved to them.

"I'm still injured, so I won't help you."

As soon as these words came out, everyone stood up quickly, standing on both sides in an orderly manner, and stood separately according to their positions.

Lai Anning exclaimed excitedly: "My lord, it's great that you're fine. I've been so worried that I can't eat for the past two days."

Hearing Laianning's words, Aslan couldn't help laughing.

With the food intake of this guy, Leaning, he can't eat for two days, and with the current conditions, he can't stand two meals, let alone two days.

"Stop talking nonsense." Aslan said angrily.

"Tell me about the casualties!"

Gao Wen took the initiative to stand up and said: "In the decisive battle of Meili River, our army killed 251 people, injured 465 people, and captured more than 11,200 enemy troops."

As for the enemy wounded, it is estimated that they have been buried in that pit with their bodies.

"What about the prisoners?" Aslan asked, knocking on the handrail.

"Except for a few defected slave soldiers, the other captives were escorted back to Melo Town." Gao Wen said lightly.

Aslan rubbed his temples subconsciously. He has always hated using slaves the most.

Things like slaves are too unexpected, and their work efficiency and combat effectiveness are not strong, but it is not that simple to convert them all into free citizens in a short time.

Although it can be solved with just one sentence from him, that will also bring too many unstable factors to the territory.

Gawain seemed to see Aslan's embarrassment, and quickly said, "My lord! There are many Merlots among the slave soldiers."

Aslan's eyes lit up immediately, and he couldn't help laughing out loud. This smile affected the wound, and Jean's face suddenly turned green.

"My lord!"

"I'm fine!" Aslan said with a wave of his hand while covering his wound.

"Gao Wen attack!"

"Yes! Your lord!" Gawain immediately led his men back and prepared to attack the city.

This time, Gao Wen's performance, advancing and retreating in an orderly manner, and employing troops prudently, gave Aslan a great surprise.

It's a pity that he died young in his previous life, and was only discovered by Aslan now.

"Major Johnson, don't go, let's talk." Aslan stopped Johnson who was about to attack the city together.

Johnson didn't have too many surprises, and he performed the etiquette of a mage neither humble nor overbearing.

Aslan smiled back.

"Please sit down!"

As soon as Johnson took his seat, a female soldier brought tea immediately.

"Thank you to the village head for your help this time. I don't know how the village head thought about my proposal?" Aslan asked with a smile as he saw the army marching out neatly.

His proposal last time was to let Johnson lead the entire Max Village to join the town of Melo to enrich the population of the town of Melo. Its population is estimated to exceed 50,000.

Therefore, Aslan was not in a hurry about the merger of Max Village. Melo Town was developing too fast to bear such a large population. Moreover, for the healthy development of Melo Town, several outlying villages and towns had to be developed.

In the previous life, Max Village was the first town in the Merlot area, with a resident population of more than 20,000. It opened up a large grove of buds and fruit, and its annual grain output reached 200,000 tons, making it the largest granary in the Merlot area.

Johnson has long seen that the population of Melo Town has reached its limit for the time being. When the lord asks this question, he naturally does not want the population of Max Village to increase the burden of Melo Town.

"From the perspective of my subordinates! Merlot Town can no longer receive too many people in the short term, so it is better to stay where it is, and I have also investigated the planting of bud fruit trees. The location of Max Village is suitable for large-scale planting. As long as the lord grown ups……"

Johnson did not say what he said next, and the implication was very clear.

It was up to Aslan whether he believed him or not.

"Haha, it's exactly what I want." Aslan smiled and nodded.

"I also have this plan. I plan to turn Max Village into Max Town and become the granary of our Melo area, so as to solve the food shortage of our Melo people in one fell swoop."

"Lord Lord Shengming!" Johnson said with some excitement in his heart.

"But I have one condition."

"My lord, please tell me."

"All the militia troops in Max Village will be sent to the new barracks for training, and then redistributed. Your village will also send a large number of people to Melo Town to learn the laws of the Melo area."

Aslan spoke lightly, and Johnson listened quietly, without overreacting.

Because of these conditions, he had already learned from Essien and Wilson that since he was going to join the Lord Melo, he would naturally clean up. As for the future taxation issue.

He has secretly interviewed the people in Merlot Town, whether they are landlords or serfs of the lord's family. No, they are called tenants now, which means farmers who cultivate the land for the lord. Although life is not as good as that of the landlords, they still have surplus food every year The days are getting better and better.

As for the newly built Changfeng Village, there are more than 500 tenants there. I heard that the land reclaimed in the future will be registered, and then one-tenth of the land will be allocated to the tenants so that they can become landlords.

It is said that more and more people are using Changfeng Village now, and it is believed that Changfeng Village will also become an important food center in the Merlot area in the near future.

It can be seen that Lord Aslan is really a good Lord who considers the people.

If Aslan knew about this, he would definitely complain about it. At the beginning, he planned to divide it in half, but in the end, under the joint pressure of Essien and Wilson, he reduced it to one-tenth.

"My lord! Then how should we divide the fields reclaimed by our Max Village?" Johnson asked cautiously.

"Naturally, it's the same as Changfeng Village. I don't want the people to only farm land for me, the lord. I want each of them to have land in their homes, and they are also landlords. Only such people can live a truly good life."

Aslan recalled what the boss told them when they were part-time workers in the first life, more pay for more work, dividends and shares, and everyone being the boss together.

Sure enough, when Johnson heard this sentence, the gray-haired old man couldn't help becoming excited, and was also attracted by the pie drawn by Aslan.

There is no recommendation for next week, which makes the old man worry about gains and losses. There are only less than 20 collections away from 1400. If it breaks through 1400 before twelve o'clock, there will be a sixth update today.
