Chapter 26: Muskets versus Knights, Sir, Times Have Changed

Ryan gradually walked into the canteen. The workers here were all recruited nearby, and their residence was nearby.

But if the workers were to build canals in other lords' territories, they could only rest there.

When people saw a group of serious-looking people coming, they were so nervous that they didn't say a word and dared not move.

"If you want to take the remaining food back to your family--" Ryan just started to speak, and those who had just secretly packed food stood up in fear and poured out the food in the cloth bag.

"Sir, we didn't mean it, don't drive us out! We won't dare to do it again!"

"We can eat enough outside, but our families don't have jobs, and there is not much food left. When the grain is harvested this year, we have to pay taxes. Everyone doesn't know how much tax Second Terra has to pay, and they don't know in their hearts."

"I just took the meat out and took it back for the children to eat. They are still young. Sir, I don't need the food provided by the work, as long as I can take the meat in the meat porridge back to my children."

All kinds of voices sounded at once, and Ryan just raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.

"You can wait until dinner time to bring it, and the food won't go bad."

Beruka whispered behind Ryan: "Sir, at dinner time, there will be supervisors to confirm that no tableware and tools on the construction site are lost. Only at noon can they hide the food in advance."

Ryan slapped his forehead, "The construction site supervisor is used to confirm whether the work process of the day is standardized and whether the fixed assets are lost. I feel that you are guarding against people taking food back?"

Beruka stopped talking. He was just a member of the logistics department. He only knew a little about the policies of the construction department.

But there is one thing that is consistent, that is, after these landlord families or educated people take up jobs, they always show an invisible arrogance to these original farmers, fearing that these untouchables will not do things according to their orders, or take away various benefits that should not be given to the untouchables.

You have to know that these department personnel can't drink meat porridge every meal.

The officials of the Empire have a deeper sense of class than this, because they do not regard the population of the lower nest city as the same kind of life, but as the consumables of the entire Empire machine, even themselves.

"In the future, everyone can choose to eat or take the food they distribute at dinner, but lunch must be eaten in full to ensure your physical strength. This is for the smooth completion of the construction. If you are hungry and in a trance and cause an engineering accident, I will be held responsible! Those who do not follow my requirements cannot participate in any construction within three years, and the performance requirements for their children to enter school will be increased by 30%."

Ryan quickly made rules, and the punishment for violating the rules was that these people could no longer participate in urban construction.

Only the construction site of the Second Terra provides food. With this punishment, these people who have been hungry and cold for many years will abide by the corresponding regulations to do things.

After pacifying the situation here, Ryan asked Beruka to print documents and convey them to all infrastructure construction sites.

Then he asked Bryce to find Kamo and bring the first 50 musketeers here.

He was going to "borrow" some more food from the nearby noble granary.

The food borrowed last time when the canal was built came from Earl Gore's granary, and his territory was also the closest to the Second Terra.

Interestingly, the construction of the canal extending from the Second Terra also entered Earl Gore's territory. Of course, the construction and the subsequent use of water conservancy were charged.

This earl would not use the convenient tap water system for civilians, but would only use it in the noble houses in the territory, and it was natural for them to be fleeced and the water fee to be higher.

Kamo soon came with a fifty-man guard, and these fifty musketeers were also called the first company.

And Kamo's seven knights and fourteen followers were separately used as Ryan's personal guard company, which would gradually expand in the later period.

Anyway, these knights are all members of the Mast Family, and have been loyal to the Will Family since ancient times. As for whether they are loyal to Ryan Will or Gogart Will, there is no difference.

After the weapons of the foundry are upgraded, the personal guard company and the first company will be equipped first.

Ryan hasn't decided what the battle formation of the Second Terra should be called, but Kamo is obviously very suitable as a temporary captain. He will be an excellent tool, but not suitable as a warmaster who unifies the overall situation.

If the Primarch of the First Legion, Ryan, is willing to change jobs after waking up, he still hopes that Ryan will come to the Second Terra to serve as the warmaster.

Anyway, you didn't become the warmaster of the Empire, and you didn't serve as the Protector of the Second (Ding--!) Empire for a long time, so why not come to the Second Terra to serve.

According to the latest official information, Ryan, who has been sleeping for 10,000 years, has become old with gray hair. In the future, the Second Terra will have a complete pension and retirement procedure, and will fight against bugs, chaos, greenskins, and undead in the future, which is enough for the warmaster to realize his ambitions before retirement.

Of course, it would be better if the entire First Legion could be coordinated to the Second Terra.

We are all human beings, and Ryan believes that Old Man Huang will not care so much.

But Ryan feels that his biggest reliance in the future may be the Agito Legion infected by the power of light?

Humans who have not fully awakened Agito may also display superpowers such as telekinesis and resurrection of the dead, and they are not at all related to psychics.

Because when Ryan himself used telekinesis, he didn't feel any subspace existence.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!

In other words, in the future, Ryan can even organize a legion composed entirely of Yajituo and "psykers" who are not affected by the subspace.

Wait, my telekinesis is not Ultra telekinesis, but Yajituo's super power!

Ryan suddenly realized that something was wrong, and subconsciously looked at his waist. The transformation ring flickered aggrievedly, and then Ryan found that he could not use his telekinesis.

It's not that it can't be used, but it can't be used before danger comes. Ryan can't actively use his telekinesis to do anything in his daily life, such as helping the foundry to process molds.

Calm down, calm down, get the food first, since the transformation ring is on your waist and can't escape anyway, then think about how to coax this little guy.

The ring that noticed the change in Ryan's thoughts disappeared directly, no matter how much Ryan called, it would not come out.

It seems that I am really aggrieved.

The ability of telekinesis can be said to be the ability that has helped Ryan the most since he arrived in this world. Now he realizes that he has called this ability by the wrong name.

Although Uncle Yuan and Aunt Dong may have a good relationship, always referring to Yajituo's ability as ultra telekinesis feels a bit like a tauren.

"Sir, is there something wrong with your waist? I've heard that many young aristocrats are prone to lumbar muscle strain due to their years of exposure -"

"Shut up, if you keep talking I'll let you be Bryce's minute-taker."

Ryan suppressed the concern of the officials behind him and tried to straighten his waist to prove that his waist was fine.

"Go and inform the people in this grain depot that all the food in it is collected in the name of Second Terra to support city construction. The legal principle comes from the support of Lord Gorgart Will himself and the Church of Second Terra ”

Ryan said without changing his face. There were people in various departments of Second Terra who could not be as calm as Ryan.

After expressing to the managers of the granary that Second Terra received (robbed) the grain, the managers there rushed out, followed by five or six Earl Gower's guards.

In the past, Second Terra was an unclaimed land that no noble lord wanted to occupy, and was managed reluctantly by administrators.

Building the granary here can also prevent untouchables in your territory from trying to attack or even burn the granary, not to mention the threat from ordinary people in the original land of Second Terra.

When Ryan was building the canal, Earl Gower was willing to use part of the food to support the construction of the canal. After all, Ryan also had the Lord's document at that time. After the canal was built, the drought irrigation problem would be solved.

There is no need to worry about the people of Second Terra having any greed for their own food.

Even after the harvest in the next few years, the food can be returned.

But what Earl Goyle didn't realize was that the development of Second Terra quickly exceeded the limit that their own food reserves could support. Ryan would never stop city construction for this reason.

Since this granary appeared just right in the territory of Second Terra, Ryan had no choice but to thank the Emperor for the gift and set up this granary within his reach from the beginning.

"Sir Ryan, don't dare to joke. This granary is the property of Earl Gower. We have lent enough food to Second Terra before. If Second Terra needs food, we can discuss with the Earl and purchase it. Or renting it is fine, but if it’s an open robbery, this has not been the case since ancient times!”

The old man guarding the granary is called Hamos Gower. He is a distant uncle of Earl Gower. The position of guarding the granary is considered leisurely.

Ryan held Hamos' hand with a smile and said kindly:

"I have heard that some devout nobles will donate half of the property to the church to show their respect for God. You see, our church in Second Terra has just changed the priest, and the great sun has been called the emperor. We have returned to God What a magnificent thing it is to be named. Isn't it worthy of Count Goyle to exchange a little food for the emperor's favor? "

Ryan's hand was held tightly, making it impossible for Hamos to take his hand away. He stood there dryly, with the folds on his face squeezed together, and he couldn't say a word for a long time.

Ryan looked at the company that had just arrived behind him and said:

"Why are you still hanging around? Send these guests to the Second Terra Guesthouse to rest. I think there is no need for Earl Goyle to know that his food is being donated to the emperor for the time being, so that he can show his piety even more."

Kamo stood forward, and the seven knights dealt with these guards like chickens and subdued them. The musketeers didn't even fire, and left with a guard under each man's arm.

Ryan pointed to the granary and said behind him:

"Boys, it's time to move. By the way, Bryce, ask someone to find some firewood or something. After we move the food, we'll burn this place down. It's just that some bandits are dissatisfied with the patrol actions of our Second Terra Guard, which affects They deliberately attacked and set fire to the granary, but our people tried their best to save the people, and there was not much food left. Second Terra severely condemned the attack and invited Count Gower. Let’s fight against the bandits nearby!”

Bryce's eyes were blank, but he still reacted: "Huh? Oh! I know!"

It must be said that after being with him for a long time, Bryce and Kamo have completely understood his way of thinking.

He was just testing the bottom line of these nobles' tolerance. If you keep forbearing, then the Second Terra, which represents the advanced development direction, will gradually suppress these backward feudal landlords and take all their things.

If they are intolerable and want to attack the Second Terra, then Ryan will not have to worry too much and let the musketeers update the war mode of hot weapons in this world in advance.

Bang!

At the mansion of Earl Gore, the Earl, who had a good chat with Bryce not long ago and was pleased with the water conservancy facilities provided by the Second Terra, received Bryce's almost provocative notice.

There are no bandits in this place. Even if there are bandits, who dares to attack the granary of a dignified earl!

This is obviously taking his own food for himself!

Earl Gore was furious and asked his men to summon the knights and go to the local church to ask the priest there to testify that the magician Ryan Will must have fallen into some kind of madness to do these things that challenged the dignity of the nobles.

As a vassal noble of Gorgat Will, he had to subdue the Iron Thorn that Ryan sent back to Turin so that the lord could personally judge.

At this moment, the convenience of life and the great progress in future life mentioned by Bryce seemed less important in the eyes of Earl Gore.

So what if life is not comfortable, the nobles still enjoy the support of slaves and farmers.

But if their own land and food rights are infringed, that means they will cut off their lifeblood alive!

Especially when I heard that there are no slaves in the Second Terra, they are all free people. If this goes on, the slaves on my side will definitely escape.

In this way, the problem of Ryan Will must be solved as soon as possible to prevent this mad magician from bringing a greater ideological impact to Turin, no, even to the entire Mandala Principality!

Under the Earl's anger, a team of fifty knights and two hundred guards marched towards Second Terra.

Unfortunately, the Earl only knew that the First Company of Second Terra was composed of fifty people, and Ryan's personal guards were only seven knights and fourteen followers, and he didn't know much about the power of muskets.

He didn't know what fate he was about to face. Anyway, when Ryan learned that the Earl was coming to question him, he just felt a little emotional. The second enemy encountered by the First Company of the First Legion of Second Terra was the regular army of this feudal world.

But it doesn't matter, sir, the times have changed since the establishment of Second Terra.
