Chapter 872: Reappearance of Prosperity
The plan for the construction of the statue of heroes was reported to Modrek, who quickly gave instructions and agreed to the finalization of the second plan, so the statue of the heroes of Gonso @ Bulvik entered the official construction stage.
On the plains of Liguria, there are various convoys of transporters transporting stones.
It was not easy to build a statue of 124 meters high, especially in an era when transportation capacity was not developed, even in the plains.
Especially under the scorching sun, when the heat is unbearable, it is even more unbearable.
However, although transporting the stones was arduous, most of them were Ligurian coolies, they had no complaints at the thought that they were meant to commemorate their hero, Gonso@Bulvik.
The war in Liguria finally ended with the self-determination of Gondso@Bulvik, and Mordrak showed unprecedented tolerance, and all the guerrilla rebels, no matter how much trouble they had caused to Lakassia, could regain their status as freedmen as long as they laid down their arms, and all serfs were freed and reverted to free.
The land of the serf owners was divided among the commoners and the afflicted, and the lands of the nobles were redistributed, and at the same time, the tax rate was lowered and production resumed.
At the same time, Mordrak also promulgated what is arguably the strictest military discipline ever had, prohibiting soldiers from harassing civilians any more, and prohibiting anyone from taking a stitch from civilians for any reason, and immediately putting them to death if anyone violated them.
After the order was issued, the various legions of Lacacia immediately reined in a lot, but there were still people who wanted to defy the law by chance.
As a result, in Modrek's direct legion, there was a soldier who tasted a pear when he was buying fruit from the people, and then thought it was not delicious, so he didn't pay and left, in fact, this often happens in the market, and the fruit merchant didn't take it seriously, but after being reported because of this incident, Modrek was furious and immediately ordered the soldier to be executed.
The soldier felt that he was wronged, he did not take advantage of it, nor did he embarrass the fruit merchant, and it was the fruit merchant who took the initiative to let the soldier taste the fruit, but because the taste was not good enough, he did not buy it.
The fruit merchant also interceded on behalf of the soldier, and the soldier's comrades brought out the soldier's previous achievements to ask for Mordrak's forgiveness.
However, Mordrak resolutely put the soldier to death.
At the same time, Mordrak paid ten times the price to the fruit merchant.
As soon as the news spread, all the legions were disciplined, and no one dared to take the property of civilians anymore.
As if overnight, the Lacazian Army was reborn and won the approval of the common people.
Seeing Modrecre's resolute and forbidden appearance, Ji Ran's attitude towards him also changed subtly.
Although she also felt that it was not appropriate to kill a brave warrior because of a pear, but seeing the effect brought by this, Ji Ran gradually understood Mordrake's intentions.
Although he executed a good soldier who had been wronged, he brought peace to the whole world.
On the weekend, Ji Ran and Milia walked on the streets of the bustling city, the shops reopened, all kinds of dazzling goods were hung out, placed in the most conspicuous position, the merchants began to open their doors to do business, and the people also happily went to the streets, no longer having to worry about being innocently abused or killed by mistake.
The soldiers of La Cassia were strictly confined to the barracks, and they were not allowed to go to the streets on weekdays, even if they needed to go to the street to buy things, they could not wear military uniforms, they could only wear ordinary people's clothes to buy, and they were not allowed to use their status as soldiers to lower prices.
Under a series of heavy blows by Modrek, the whole of Liguria quickly returned to the pre-war order, and the people lived a stable and peaceful life again.
"See, Aiyi, the city is starting to prosper again." Milia said happily as she watched the people live happily ever after.
"Well, in fact, the people's wish is very simple, they want to live a safe and peaceful life, and it is really gratifying to see them now." Ji Ran said with a smile.
"It seems that we have misunderstood His Highness Mordrak, everything he did before was actually to end the war as soon as possible, so that the people of Liguria can live a happy life as soon as possible." Miria said happily, her eyes shining when she mentioned Modrak.
Seeing Milia praise Modlek so much, Ji Ran thought about it, but there was no reason to refute it.
Modrec is indeed a very impressive person, and his city is by no means something that a girl of his own can easily see.
Through this war, Ji Ran also had a new understanding of Mordrak, from his body, Ji Ran seemed to see the shadow of the Holy King Camusses, perhaps, in the future, the person who can overthrow serfdom and let the world return to the era of the Holy King is him, right?
"Aiyi, look, there's juggling over there." Milia shouted in surprise, took Ji Ran's hand, and ran towards the center of the square.
In the middle of the square, I saw several strangers wearing clown costumes performing extremely dangerous juggling such as swallowing fire sticks raw, walking on tightropes barefoot, and somersaults and drilling fire rings.
Although these jugglings are very dangerous, and if they make a mistake, the consequences will be very serious, but in order to make a living, they are still performing hard, just to be able to eat.
Ji Ran and Miria watched the thrilling performance, even as elves, they were impressed by their desperate spirit.
At the end of a wonderful performance, Ji Ran and Miria both took out their coins and threw them into the performer's hat, and the performer thanked him gratefully.
There are people performing everywhere in the square, and the people who come to see the performance are also bustling and lively.
In the evening, Ji Ran and Milia returned to their residence and ended their day's activities.
After returning to his residence, Ji Ran was very satisfied with the current life of Liguria, despite the bloodshed caused by Lacasia's invasion and the loss of many innocent lives.
However, the result was very gratifying, because Mordrak brought freedom to the serfs of Liguria, and although it deprived many of the rights of the old aristocracy, it benefited a greater number of people.
The serfs became free and equal commoners, with their own land, they no longer had to worry about their livelihood, they could sell the surplus grain to the city, and then use the money they earned to buy something they liked.
As a result, commerce in the city began to flourish.
Trade began to become frequent, and Liguria was thriving.
I wish you a happy ^_^ Mid-Autumn Festival
