Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Day When I Believe Your Persistence Will Be Rewarded
Out of the castle, the buildings around Raphael have not been demolished, so it is impossible to force the lords to move out and then forcibly demolish them, right? Raphael said that he did not want to be as powerful as the aristocracy of this world. Only when the people love you can your position as a lord be stable, and can the people be willing to work hard for you.
Raphael didn't understand why the lords of this era dared to exploit the commoners endlessly, weren't they afraid that one day they would really overthrow people and sing about conquest?!
But after all, others are others, and they are themselves. Stick to your own heart, maybe it's really out of step with this era, but believe it. Maybe one day this perseverance will be rewarded, and it will be extremely beautiful at that time!
Finding the villagers of Reese Village, in fact, Raphael originally planned to build their place as a place for the military class to live, but Raphael felt that this would cause disharmony between the military and civilian classes and would not be convenient for their lives. So I gave up on the idea.
Raphael felt that the embodiment of class should not be so superficial, if only the limitation of the living area shows the difference of class, so that the class of the sub-class appears very confused. Maybe Raphael chooses one place today and another tomorrow, does the class have to change every day?
The class should be reflected in their own social recognition, social welfare to their deviation, they can get more feedback for their contribution to the territory. In this era, not everyone pursues Thor, and some civilians do not have high requirements for Thor, as long as they can be fed and clothed. Because what these people seek is glory!
Just as the nobles pursued family glory, commoners pursued personal glory and then expected to convert that personal glory into their own family glory. Because many indigenous nobles started as soldiers! They were rewarded by the nobility, and even the mere title of knight would have thrilled them!
Riding a horse, looking at the somewhat deserted streets, it was noon, and the warm spring sun was shining comfortably. There are rows of wooden houses on both sides of the road, which are relatively quick to set up, and you can move in directly, but if you face the flames, it will be a spark and you can start a prairie fire!
However, this kind of house is also good, and in some places, the buildings of the common people are just thatched houses, and as for the stone houses, they are at least the scale of the city to have this consideration.
Found the villagers of Rees Village who live outside of Yuba Town, as there are no inns in Yuba Town. It's hard to receive outsiders once a year in the territory, and there's no problem calling it a backcountry. Therefore, the villagers of Rees Village can only set up tents to rest.
"Your Lord!" The old village chief bowed respectfully to Raphael.
"Well, Barry. I'm here today to help you find a place to live. There is an abandoned lumber yard about two kilometers from Yuba Town, which we can visit today. Raphael nodded to the old chief, and then said what he meant, using a detection spell along the way.
"Name: Barry
Race: Human
Identity: The head of Reese Village
Attributes: Strength 6, Agility 4, Constitution 6, Intelligence 19, Perception 5, Charisma 5, Will 16
Class: Level 20 civilian
Loyalty: β β β β β (you can trust him)
β
When an ordinary person is getting old, all kinds of attributes will decline, which is a change that is difficult to disobey. Unless it's a caster class that gets stronger the older you get. Barry can be regarded as an old man whose life is coming to an end, and if a person's strength does not reach the sixth order, then he is only a mortal after all. There is no way to escape the end of life, old age, sickness and death!
"Thank you, generous lord!" Barry didn't expect Raphael to think of them so quickly, he originally thought that it would take at least half a month, just like Bartholomew's army that wanted to ask for patrols, it would take at least half a month to get information, not to mention that this was a lord!
"Haha, you are now my people, and many of you have become soldiers of my territory. You are an important part of the territory, you don't need to say thank you! As long as you do your best for the territory, you will be the best thank you to me! Raphael smiled heartily and said in a loud voice.
Not only the villagers of Reese Village, but also many residents of Yuba Town who passed by also heard Raphael's words.
The ox cart they bought was still outside the town, and everyone gathered their belongings on the cart again. Yesterday Raphael also asked YΓ‘rvis to rent a few ox carts from the people, and he only bought the amount of ox carts that could transport goods, so that the children and the elderly could only travel all the way on the road, so it can be said that this will greatly slow down the speed of the group.
Although the road is not long this time, since I thought of it, I will do it.
Lifting the reins, the horses that sat down raised their legs and headed towards their destinations, and the ox carts behind them also moved slowly under the control of the villagers.
It didn't take long to go all the way. The lumber yard is a bit dilapidated because it has been abandoned for a long time, and the bare roots around it make the area look huge, and it is not a problem for a few thousand people to rest in this place!
"How?" Raphael asked the villagers, after all, it was not he who lived there. Now that he has let them choose where they live, Raphael will not impose intervention. If they are not satisfied, there is also a backup plan. It just so happens that this time has passed a little tightly, so it's also great to go out for an outing!
"Very satisfied! Your Lord! The crowd unanimously responded, and they were heartily satisfied that they had established a home in such a place. After all, their original village was not much different from here. This kind of environment makes them feel more at ease. People tend to prefer what they already have, especially in an unfamiliar environment.
"That's fine, since you're satisfied, then choose this place to become your new village!" Seeing that everyone nodded, Raphael immediately sent a soldier around him back to inform Lance to send the craftsmen he had raised, and Lance was very efficient, and he had already done it before Raphael came out. And the people near the castle were notified so that they could prepare to move.
The craftsmen in the territory also came quickly, and they were accompanied by those who heard that they were going to relocate, and since they were building their own homes, it was necessary to contribute themselves.
Raphael was not stingy, and promised on the spot that the people who participated in the work could also receive their respective wages, so that the people couldn't help but sing the praises of Raphael's actions! A generous lord will always be a favorite!
(I'm seeing that the clicks seem to shrink...... Originally, there seemed to be more than a thousand...... Am I having amnesia? Who am I? Where am I? οΌ
