Chapter 102

“Eh!!”
I spit it out nicely, but it caught me a little.
Apparently, I shouted with a weak voice in front of the former knights, but it seemed that it was a little overworked.
“line… page. here… … .”
The magician Port, who was lined up in the back, hurriedly ran and brought the communication port connected to the speaker of the Going Missha.
I can’t use it if the distance is a little far, but now it’s close.
“hmm. thank you.”
I will give it right away.
Of course, it must be because he didn’t know how the nobles spoke at a meeting like this.
“Ah!”
A loud voice came from the huge Going Missha behind Lian’s back.
The villagers, who had been making suspicious faces, flinched at the loud noise.
‘The dignity lives on its own.’
Satisfied Lian said with a solemn expression.
“You can tell from the neck hanging behind me here.”
It’s been a while since I came to this world. I’ve seen people die many times, but I still don’t like seeing them decapitated.
But what can I do? If you go to Rome, follow the Roman law. This is the most effective way to promote.
You may be branded as a witch if you clumsily try to instill modern ideas.
“The family of the lord you served is dead.”
I knew it already, but when Lian announced it, everyone trembled in fear.
He looked like a small child, but fearsome knights stood behind him.
Isn’t there a monster-like ship that I’ve never seen before?
Looking at the abrasive veins protruding from his belly, his pores stung.
“So there is no one who should inherit this territory. Of course, you can search for the collateral, but Kerician, who was the lord of this place, was killed in an ambush by the baron.”
Youngjimin looked shocked.
The death of a male family member and the death of the lord itself are completely different issues.
“ship… Count! Please reap us!!!”
“please. Please do not abandon our territory.”
“Please appoint a new lord.”
It has already been marked as a traitor’s estate. If left unattended for a while, thieves would infest it.
It is self-evident that the soldiers in the neighboring territory will turn into bandits and plunder.
To say that there is no lord means that there is no one to protect it.
“You know you are innocent. My investigation found no evidence of your sympathy.”
What kind of power do the people have? It is a world where sit-ins are the basis.
If other nobles were in Lian’s position, they would have used this as an excuse to plunder and turn them all into serfs.
If you want to rebel a little, as I explained earlier, if you leave it alone for a while, it will make a decision and attack from the surrounding territory.
“So I declare this a free farming area!”
Lian’s words gave everyone a bewildered expression.
It is a word that I have never heard of a free agricultural area.
In addition, this place is located on the periphery of the border country.
Everyone had to be knowledgeable.
“Since the lord who ruled here committed treason, all property is confiscated. And I free all the serfs of that property.”
“that… Is that true?!”
An old man exclaimed in surprise.
“How dare you say it’s safe!!”
The new knight commander (?), who had been quiet when the former territories shouted, widened his eyes.
That’s because the farmer who just opened his mouth was the village chief of a serf village.
By the way, not all village chiefs were commoners. Just now, the mayor had a brand on his cheek.
“Do not step forward, Commander of the Knights.”
“sorry. Lord!!”
He’s a really careless guy.
He didn’t even swear an oath of allegiance, but he was a gentleman who gently rubbed him as his lord.
Not bad for Lian, who has to leave the territory.
Too much FM is more likely to cause problems.
“Don’t blame me too much. Now the author is not a serf, he is my people, freed.”
Count Leon’s family had baronial or commanding territories, but in the end, everyone living there was Lian’s people.
No matter how many generations the ruler of that place rules over it, it is nominally loyalty to Lian in return for receiving the land.
“Come to think of it. you… Was it Ryan?”
When Lian recognized it, the village chief was taken aback.
There was no way that a person like a count would know himself.
“I heard your story when I was young.”
The reason Lian recognized the village chief was because he had two marks on his face.
A serf who had already fled from another area was caught working in a slash-and-burn field and became a serf again.
“You were brave when you were young, right?”
“I am ashamed. I’m old now, so I’ll do it tomorrow. High lord!”
He killed three soldiers while running away with his grandson from slash-and-burn.
Originally, he might have been executed, but maybe it was because of the baron’s whim.
– The old man fights well. I know the text too. There is a vacant position in the serf village, so go there and reflect.
I don’t think it’s a whim, but rather to save a few bucks.
Even if the serfs served as village chiefs for a certain period of time, the lord would release them from the serfs along with a reward.
So the serf village chiefs squeezed the same serfs.
To look good to the lord.
“okay. You have grandchildren.”
“wealth… Please have mercy… … .”
When the old man spoke of his grandson, he fell flat on the floor.
The dignified look he had just a moment ago was nowhere to be seen.
“Don’t worry. Don’t you want to do harm? okay. He became the village chief because he knew how to read?”
“It is.”
“Did you teach your grandson how to read?”
“… … .”
The village chief had no answer.
I couldn’t figure out what answer to give.
It seems that he is thinking about how to avoid harming his grandson.
“Can’t you answer me soon!!”
The new knight commander shouted.
When I saw it in historical dramas, it looked unsightly, but when I realized that it was someone below me, the stuffiness was relieved a little.
Isn’t it wrong to press for a direct answer out of shape?
“I have taught you. please forgive me… … .”
“What’s wrong with teaching writing? I have heard that your grandson is intelligent.”
Of course it is false.
Young Rian must have grown up in this land, but this is the first time for the current Rian.
“I am ashamed, but… The villagers say the young sage… … .”
“It must be because you educated me well. The name… … .”
“Whatever.”
So-and-so’s grandson had A-level administrative power.
For reference, it was a name.
If you translate the grandson’s name into modern language, such as dog sh*t, dolsoe, and madangsoe, it’s something.
When certain conditions are met, it is possible to be appointed, but it was so-and-so, so I had to give it a new name.
＜given name＞ (whatever)
marked in this way.
“It is remarkable even in a harsh environment. He must be an adult now, but he doesn’t have a name, so he writes.”
“If you give it to me, it will be considered an honor for generations to come!!!”
The old man trembled.
He was actually an administrator in a city in the Thrang Empire.
It wasn’t great, but it had a good reputation… … .
One day, her married daughter came home with her grandson.
The son of the lord of that place fell in love with her and raped her and accidentally killed her.
– It’s unfair. Lord!!
But, funny enough, he is falsely accused and demoted to serfdom.
When I complained of injustice, I tried to cover my mouth.
With self-defense, which he learned as a hobby, he overpowered the soldiers sent by the lord, and then ran away with his grandson.
‘If I had mana sensitivity, I would have become a knight.’
In order to subdue soldiers trained in self-defense, the combat sense itself is innate.
Of course, even if you try to use it now, you are an old man who does it today and tomorrow.
I’m sorry.
“First of all, the family name… okay. It would be nice to have an office job.”
His grandson is going to become an A-class administrator, so he named it ‘Samu’ to get out of serfdom and become an office worker.
In fact, even when I was playing the game, I think I built it that way without thinking.
“name is… okay. I hope it rains.”
To show outstanding abilities related to farming. It was named Bira to wish for rain.
“So your grandson’s name is Bisamu now. Let me know if you go back. I will fill out the paperwork myself.”
“I will make it a family heirloom. Great lord!!”
When I said that, it was a little hot.
Not the name used in the game. I was thinking of making something more reasonable.
‘My naming sense… … .’
Unfortunately, I couldn’t come up with a better idea.
“okay. You were a fugitive.”
“that… That’s right. Sobbing.”
The old man wept bitterly.
I no longer had to tremble with anxious anxiety.
The place where the old man fled was a region of the Serang Empire, but no matter how low-ranking the county was, he was bestowed with a name by the count.
It was a kind of indulgences.
If you try to make it an issue later, it may turn into a diplomatic issue.
You can’t ask for recruits for tolerable sins.
“But he. i don’t like it either I will send it to you when I cut my throat later.”
Ryan whispered in his ear as he lifted the old man off the floor.
“… … ?!!!”
The old man thought for a while before opening his eyes.
“I know that. I don’t like him either.”
Not here, but the one who hit the back of the head twice in the game.
I almost got game over twice because of him, so shouldn’t I pay him back?
For reference, I couldn’t pay it back in the game.
“So you and your grandson will have to work hard.”
“ah… All right. High lord.”
“Do you want to know what it is? I appoint you as the administrator overseeing the Free Agricultural Area of the Baronial Territory of Kerician, no, now the Earl of Leon.”
“my… I mean… … .”
“It’s not a succession position, but I’ll give you the right to succeed for one generation.”
“… … !”
At Ryan’s words, the old man only blinked.
When I woke up, I had become an official managing the barony.
“I appoint you as Baron Secretary. The title can be inherited from generation to generation.”
“me… You mean the baron?!”
“When you return to the county, I will send you a letter of appointment. You may use the baron’s mansion over there at will.”
Ryan’s words were truly shocking.
The young people who watched this couldn’t come to their senses.
“Knight Commander!”
“yes… !! Joo Goo Un!”
The knight commander also had his tongue twisted.
He thought he had made a fortune, but there was someone even worse.
“Assign knights to protect the office baron. Now that I am a baron, I will punish anyone who despises me.”
“Honored name!!”
Although he was reluctant to escort a former serf, he had to, since he had just become a knight commander.
Perhaps only good-natured guys will be selected and attached.
“ah. and office baron. To implement land reform.”
“You mean land reform?”
“Yes. Sell the farmland owned by Baron Kerician to the serfs at regular intervals.”
“They have no money. High lord!”
“know. Adjust to pay in installments over 3 generations without interest. If there is any land left over, you can give it to commoners who do not have land.”
The eyes of the young people who were listening to Lian’s words twinkled.
Not too long ago, the new baron hadn’t been to his liking, but he had just come into power.
Farmland that can be paid off slowly over three generations.
This is the most fertile land in Baron Leon.
“However, it should be stated that this land cannot be sold in installments even if the entire price is paid off. And you cannot sell the land to someone who already owns it.”
“The Highlord’s will will be done!”
The office baron replied confidently.
He understood at once what Lian meant by giving such an order.
Unlike ordinary administrators who are only looking for lupine and embezzlement opportunities, I know because I have been working diligently.
“We will definitely develop independent farming. High lord.”
“You understand well. And all the food from the farmland will be purchased from the county. Unless they are meant to be eaten, it is illegal to sell them outside.”
“That word… … .”
The baron’s face turned dark.
It sounded like they were saying that they were self-employed and would be left as serfs.
“Don’t get me wrong. Buy 10% more than the average market price of grains currently being traded. Whether it’s a good harvest or a bad harvest, there is no exception. The budget will be adequately allocated.”
“that… Is that true?!”
“Of course. So, let’s distribute the maximum amount of farmland that individuals can farm.”
“The people of this land will be loyal to the High Lord until the moment they enter the tomb.”
It is said that you cannot raise the price during a bad year, but it does not mean that a bad year costs you every year.
On the contrary, in a prosperous year, you will be able to touch a lot of money.
no. If only one person works hard, the child can live in abundance.
“then. work Office Baron!”
“I will not let go of the pen until the day I enter the coffin.”
“It’s a good attitude.”
Trying to pamper the old man is a bit painful, but what can I do?
My grandson is A-level, but he has no experience yet. There is not enough talent to manage this place right now.
“We set sail!”
wooooo!!
When Lian shouts, the pirates who have followed the escort shout and run to the Jung-gu heating ship.
The Countess, who was watching from the boat, can be seen tapping her forehead in the distance.
“Knight Commander. What are you doing? Aren’t you going?”
“I… Me too?”
“I have to go to the county and direct traffic!”
“Ahh! That’s right. Lord!”
Rian still doesn’t know Lee Ja’s name.
