Chapter 742: Arriving at the Territory (4)
Although John Saeki Allens did not sell himself to Zhang Zhongjun, since he promised to pass on all the knowledge he had to Zhang Zhongjun, it also had a similar meaning. is very weird mentality, giving people what he has mastered, not only does he not feel like a teacher, but he has the taste of being a courtier.
So John Saeki Allens naturally stepped forward and said loudly: "Listen up, you former housekeepers and servants of the Allens family, I am John Saeb Allens, the Black Iron Knight of the Allens family, and in the name of the Allens family, I declare that you are all reduced to serfs of the Black Hawk Lord!"
As soon as these words came out, the people who had been listening with their ears pricked up immediately burst into an uproar, and those who originally looked indifferent as butlers even roared in horror: "No! You have no right to do this!"
"No! I have the right to do that!" roared John Saeki Allens, in a voice that resounded through the sky.
Everyone was frightened by the loud noise, and after the crowd fell silent, John Saeb Allens continued to say in a loud voice: "Yes, I have the authority to do so, I believe you know this, and I think you know why I gave such an order, because if you do not become serfs, you will disturb the stability and prosperity of the Allens family!" You must know that the Allens family has just defeated Baron West and occupied a large territory, and it is the time to prepare for take-off, so as a member of the Allens family, it is absolutely not allowed to disrupt this trend, therefore, whether you want to or not, you can only go and become serfs!"
"No! no, it can't be like this!" all the butler-like men howled, and the servants-like ones were all dead gray.
Zhang Zhongjun couldn't help but frown, because although these people had different expressions, he actually accepted his fate like this! And John Knight actually said this kind of thing that can only be understood and unspeakable so bluntly, not only did it not cause turmoil, but also made these soon-to-be-abandoned housekeepers and servants accept their fate?
He's meowing, how could these housekeepers and servants accept their fate so easily?
Because the discerning person can see at once that the reason why they, the stewards and servants, accept their fate, is because they know that they do not have the slightest right to appeal for this kind of matter related to the stability and prosperity of the Allens family, and the master behind them, in this case of being singled out, will also approve of John's decision.
And this is the reason why John Knight directly put the inside story in broad daylight?
As for who the masters behind these housekeepers and servants are, it is very simple, and those who will secretly cultivate private armies are probably those who do not have the right to inherit the baron, but are extremely favored by the second son and third son of the baron.
That is to say, only the existence of these second sons and three sub-categories who are favored now, but have no future at all, will do everything possible to establish private armies. In this way, no matter if he is kicked out of the family in the future, there is still a case that he competes with the heir, he will have the power to protect himself.
However, Zhang Zhongjun didn't bother to pay attention to these things, if these housekeepers and servants were just the number of people in the rules, or even one or two times more, Zhang Zhongjun would admit it, and put them back in the face of the Allens family.
But he's meowing, this number is more than ten times the rule! So many housekeepers and servants who occupy the advantage of this territory, just let them leave, wouldn't they lose a lot!
Although the money and food that they swallowed before were not their own, this was more than a thousand strong, and let them leave like this, Zhang Zhongjun felt that the loss was huge. If they don't accept their fate, Zhang Zhongjun will force them to accept their fate!
And now that these guys have accepted their fate, it is good to discipline, but it also shows that the hierarchy of this world is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. It's just a knight with the blood of the Allens family, who announced that he would demote a strong man who was privately raised by a certain child of a thousand families to serfs, and explained the reason for degrading them as slaves, these housekeepers and servants who were obviously given high hopes by their masters actually didn't need the opinion of their masters, and directly accepted their fate!
One is that the hierarchy is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, the second is that the righteous name is unstoppable, and the last is the master behind these housekeepers and servants, and there is no legitimate relationship between these housekeepers and servants.
As a child who has no inheritance rights, even if he is favored, he can't control so many people in his own name, so he can only use the name of the Allens family on the surface to secretly let a few descendants know what to do.
If he really dares to use his own name, I am afraid that he will stop and punish people from the beginning. That's why when John announced the order, a few of the stewards shouted in horror and protested, and the others were all depressed and resigned to their fate.
After understanding this, Zhang Zhongjun was very satisfied, because this meant that he, the Black Eagle Lord, could indisputably give orders to his own territory, and these serfs who belonged to the Black Eagle Lord would also obediently obey orders and would not think about some messy things.
In addition, Zhang Zhongjun was really satisfied with his move to find two warring nobles as a starting point to join this world, because only in this situation could he obtain the status of a nobleman in the shortest possible time.
Otherwise, according to the ghost of this world, it may be difficult for him to get a noble status. And in this world, without a noble identity and a territory, it is absolutely difficult to move an inch, especially when you are in a state of leading five hundred people's soldiers, you may be besieged by the surrounding nobles.
And even more grateful to the ghost eyes of the Allens family, who actually gave himself the identity of an independent nobleman. With this independent aristocratic identity, although he can't get the help of other nobles, he will be besieged by other nobles, but he will not be oppressed by others in the name of righteousness. Looking at the performance of these stewards and servants, the righteous name thing is very heavy.
Thinking about these things, Zhang Zhongjun saw John glaring at him, of course, he did not hesitate to step forward and began to declare his lordship to the more than 5,000 people present.
Zhang Zhongjun took out the parchment scroll of the territorial cession contract, unfolded it to show everyone the flaming signatures and seals on it, and then said loudly: "Everyone, from this moment on, I am the owner of this castle and the ten surrounding manors, and I have renamed this land the Black Eagle Lord, and I am your lord, Lord Black Eagle!"
As soon as Zhang Zhongjun's words came out, the people present did not hesitate, and directly knelt on the ground and shouted: "Meet the lord!"
With this sound, Zhang Zhongjun suddenly felt that his shoulder was pressed by something, and hurriedly opened his golden finger to check, and immediately found that a spherical thing appeared inexplicably on his left shoulder!
