Chapter 197: Chapter 197: Aristocrats without Commoners (Fourth More!)

"I have already estimated that the fifty miles of land are 20 kilometers in width and 25 kilometers in direction, with a total area of ​​more than 750,000 mu of land. If a few hills and unsuitable land are removed, if it can be reclaimed as farmland, At least 580,000 mu of farmland."

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

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

Aslan shrugged his shoulders and said, "What other reason is there? I'm afraid of death, afraid of losing everything."

"That's right, what's the use of that?" Olga said angrily.

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

Marquis Medea frowned slightly.

"who?"

"Ordinary sergeant of the city defense army."

Aslan put the accent on the word 'ordinary'.

Natal's eyes lit up, and she looked at Aslan expectantly, while Olga next to her felt as uncomfortable as if she had eaten a fly.

"Is it a civilian soldier 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 it will be given to 20,000 soldiers of the city defense army. Soldiers who are willing to go to farm can get two acres of land each." , willing to bring their family members there, and every four family members can be allocated one mu of land.”

"It won't take long to easily gather a city with a population of over one hundred thousand." Vatini's eyes brightened, but soon became gloomy and uncertain.

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

Before Vatini finished speaking, Aslan interrupted politely: "There are no civilians, there are nobles from there."

"The whole city is full of nobles, so who will be the servants, who will provide entertainment for us, who will work for us, produce all kinds of daily necessities, and the nobles do it themselves? As for the slaves, it's just a joke, there are not even civilians, there So many slaves came."

Aslan's words sounded the alarm for everyone, Vatini looked confused, and Natal even fell into confusion.

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

"go on."

"is teacher!"

"Civilians and nobles complement each other. I once got a statistic. It can be said that there will be one nobleman in every thousand people. This statistic is not exaggerated. As long as you pay attention, you can find that this is the healthiest ecological chain. Whether the number of nobles is too large or the number of civilians is too low will cause an imbalance in the ecological chain."

"For example, if one day, as nobles, there are only dozens of civilians in our territory, even if these civilians have to work in the fields on weekdays, doing the most tiring work, can we relax? Eat and wash clothes Who will do the work?"

"Moreover, commoners are more loyal than nobles. After nobles reach a certain status, they prioritize the interests of their own families."

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

Vatini also fell silent.

"Teacher! You only need to send a brother to sit in this army. Compared with other city defense troops, I can guarantee that the 20,000 city defense troops will only be loyal to you. Even if Earl Uther is reborn, he will not be able to command this city defense army." Aslan continued.

The Marquis of Medea has already been tempted. In fact, after this big cleanup, she no longer wants to divide the lords.

At the critical moment, these lords have their own minds, and it is too difficult to deal with.

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

"Simple, the military merit assessment, if you fail the assessment, you can take back the land. As long as the soldiers are loyal to the teacher and recognize their identity and position, for the fields under their names, the soldiers will definitely train hard, and they will work even harder on the battlefield. Occasionally A few soldiers who performed particularly well were selected and rewarded with a few acres of farmland, and these soldiers dare not die."

Aslan's words made Natal and Vatini shudder, and they suddenly understood why Aslan's Melo army had such a strong will to fight.

Just using a little benefit to make the soldiers willing to work hard for it, as time goes by, the family members in the city will become the best soldiers of the Marquis of Medea.

Let go of your mind again, what will the soldiers of the city defense army who followed the nobles think after learning about the treatment of the soldiers of the city defense army.

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, your fancy intestines have finally been used in the right place." The Marquis of Medea said with a chuckle.

Generaldo raised his glass just in time.

Everyone toasted to the Marquis of Medea. When they were seated again, Aslan accidentally touched the chopsticks. After apologizing in embarrassment, he got down on the table to pick up the chopsticks.

When he picked up the chopsticks, Aslan raised his head subconsciously and saw that the table was full of spring light.

The reason why the Marquis of Medea may be eating too happily is because he spread his feet slightly, but unfortunately it was too dark under the table, and it looked like it was just pitch black. Maru who was not far away was 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, she is wearing a knight's armor, and there is nothing to see. As for Vatini, this woman has been tortured to the point of sickness by noble etiquette, and she maintains an elegant ladylike appearance at all times, with her feet closed .

"Aslan!" Genarido called subconsciously.

Aslan hurriedly came over from under the table, and said angrily, "I don't know who kicked my chopsticks."

Genarito shook his head hastily.

"Okay, that's the decision. When the contract is signed tomorrow, that piece will be taken down. Natal will prepare and transfer 20,000 city defense troops to build the city fortress."

The Marquis of Medea didn't care about other things, he let go of the big stone in his heart, and said in a good mood: "Everyone eat!"

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

Because Melox Province is located inland, it is far from the sea, and it is difficult to eat fresh seafood. The Tianping Chamber of Commerce will send caravans to the sea every month to purchase a large amount of seafood, but these seafood are frozen back. , it is a bit difficult to eat fresh seafood.

After all, it takes a month to go back and forth, so at Billy's 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.
