Douluo starts with pea shooter

Chapter 314 Building an Army
It is impossible for Yue Hongchen's identity to be exposed. The Hongchen family has already been exterminated on the surface. Now Lan Nuo takes over all the territory of the Hongchen family, and the name of the fief has also been changed to the Duke of Xinhuo.

Lan Nuo re-established the city in the red dust fortress that was blown flat. This time, the scale of the city was larger than the original one, and the demon forest was directly cut down on a large scale as a material for urban construction.

Therefore, there are better materials such as reinforced concrete, but due to various factors, the speed of construction is actually much slower than that of wooden houses. In the relatively warm Kebor Pass, wooden buildings are not inferior to masonry structures. The only problem is that there is a fire hazard, but as long as the wooden buildings are isolated from each other, the danger will be greatly reduced, at least there will be no cheating situation like the Great Chicago Fire in history.

As for why he dared to cut down the evil forest without fear of the spirit beast's revenge, it was because Lan Nuo took the initiative to ask the Holy Dragon Empire to garrison troops to protect the territory before he formed his own private army.

From the emperor's point of view, that is a loyal minister who is showing his loyalty to him!Allowing the imperial army to station directly in his core hinterland is equivalent to putting his life in the hands of the emperor, and his favorability for the newly appointed duke is rising steadily.

However, the emperor, who had been in the dream all the time, obviously didn't know that he had been replaced by a substitute long ago. If he really dared to issue the order to exterminate Lan Nuo, the spy who replaced him in the palace would never issue such an order.

For Lan Nuo, the Holy Dragon Legion is his own legion in a certain sense, so it is no problem at all to station in his core hinterland, and he can also prostitute the empire's military salary for nothing.

It is impossible for the Holy Dragon Empire to allow Lan Nuo to provide military pay for the army. It is not because they disdain to take advantage of this, but it is a matter of principle. If the army can use other people's money to support itself, then this army is still the emperor's army ?Therefore, the money for the military salary must be paid by the empire. Lan Nuo wants to spend money to support this army, but there is nowhere to spend it.

And with such a large army stationed, it would be miserable for the guy who ran out of the soul beast forest to make trouble, not to mention the century-old soul beast and the thousand-year soul beast. The clone of Lan Nuo in the camp put it upside down and put it into the poke ball with one punch, and it will definitely sell for a good price in the future.

As for the ten-thousand-year soul beasts, those who dare to jump out will be even worse, because these guys may cause casualties, so the garrison protecting the people, received the order that whenever encountering direct kills, Lan Nuo's avatar will directly use himself as the medium , carrying the power of the legion, it exploded with a combat power almost comparable to that of Title Douluo. With a nuclear-powered Dark Gold Terror Claw, it seemed that all the ten thousand-year-old soul beasts that were making trouble were smashed to pieces.

This makes the work efficiency of local workers very fast. Large areas of forests have been cut down and turned into farmland and urban areas. It is still a barren era. It is too much to think about the ecological environment. The annual output of steel in the entire continent is low. When it reaches 100 million tons, I feel that the little change I can cause can destroy the ecological environment, and I really think highly of myself.

While the city was being built rapidly, Lan Nuo also rectified the nobles in the duke of Hongchen, as if he had left Hongchen alive, otherwise, Hongchen Fortress would be blown to the ground, and he wanted to find the local nobles There is nowhere to find the information.

"The three I wrote at the top are the largest landlords in my territory. If you want to maintain the stability of the territory, it is best to visit the three of them. For the rest, you only need to send someone to notify them. Presumably They will not be ignorant, after all, the strength you displayed during the great battle that day is really terrifying." Speaking of this, the former Duke of Hongchen showed a wry smile on his face, and the pride that his ancestors have managed for thousands of years is still not equal to others. One shot.

Lan Nuo looked at the list, and the ones listed in the front are indeed big landowners, each of whom owns tens of thousands of hectares of fertile land, and has tens of thousands of subordinates. There are thousands of family guards alone. The most important thing is that they control the local administration. Rights, without them, they would not be able to collect taxes, nor would they be able to recruit soldiers, and even orders would not be able to reach the ears of ordinary civilians.

"Come here, haven't you ever been a lord? Let me tell you, to be a lord you have to set up a pretentious name and attract the gentry to pay taxes and donations. After the gentry donates, the people will follow suit. After the event is completed, the money from the gentry will be returned in full. , the common people's money will be divided into [-]%!" Yue Hongchen said in Lan Nuo's ear.

"Why is it only [-]%?"

"Seventy percent belongs to others! It depends on their face to get [-]%!"

Lan Nuo stared: "Whose face are you looking at?"

"They!" Yue Hongchen pointed to the big landlord on the list.

"Come here! When I'm a Duke, I still have to make a name for myself, I still have to win over a gentry, and I still have to watch his face? Then I won't be a beggar on my knees?"

Yue Hongchen nodded: "According to what you say, it is really a beggar on your knees. How many people want to kneel without this method!"

Lan Nuo patted the table: "Can this make money?"

The Duke's coat of arms was slapped on the table.

"You can make money, kneel down!"

"Can this make money?" Pop!A pistol was slapped on the table.

"I can make money, Shanli."

"This plus this, can you earn money standing up?" Lan Nuo patted the gun and the coat of arms together.

Yue Hongchen's eyelids twitched: "Dare to ask where the Duke of Xinhuo is sacred?"

"My lord, um... Forget it, I don't have a good reputation in another continent." After finishing a conversation about intangible cultural heritage, Lan Nuo directly made a decision to rectify the place and completely eradicate the crooked trend of personal attachment Evil!
Of course, it's not just that he can't understand the behavior of these landlords, and it's not just for making money.

The most important thing is to liberate people from the land. The personal attachment relationship between landlords and tenant farmers is also the basis for them to control local governance.

Therefore, even if more efficient farming machinery appears, those tenant farmers who are physically attached to them will not be liberated, but will become more miserable because they have lost their function.

But cities need labor, and industry needs it even more. If these people cannot be liberated from the land, then they will develop a fart industry. Therefore, these guys who hold the power of life and death at the grassroots level must die. As long as they choose industrialization, this group of people The guy who kidnapped the farmer is the praying mantis standing in front of the wheel of history, just run it over.

It just so happened that Lan Nuo lacked an army that belonged to him and had his own thoughts and will. The principle of the Sun Moon Empire's army array, after Lan Nuo captured the Duke of Hongchen, he had already asked the question, relying on a special Rare metals are made into close-fitting bracelets or other accessories, and the soldiers strongly identify with the coat of arms on the accessories, so that the soldiers' spirits can be unified.

Usually, nobles rely on long-term brainwashing, even selecting soldiers from an early age, instilling relevant ideas from an early age, and cultivating them into unswerving loyalists.

Lan Nuo didn't have this time. The backbone of the army cultivated in this way is indeed loyal. It may take more than ten years to wait for a generation to grow up.

With more than ten years of brainwashing people, Lan Nuo might as well drive these people into schools to attend classes. Ten years of time is enough to train several high school students. How useful is the army?

And if there was something that would make the people who had just been drawn into the army agree, Lan Nuo thought about it, drew the emblem of the sickle and hammer on the paper, thought about it, balled it up and threw it away.

He still can't bear the meaning of this badge, and it's not suitable for this era. The industry has not yet developed, let alone the workers are oppressed. People can understand the sickle, but most people will be confused when they see the hammer. force.

After thinking about it, Lan Nuo re-drawn the badge of sword and plow on the paper, then nodded in satisfaction: "Mr. Gao Wen, I'm sorry, but let's borrow your family's badge!"

In this feudal era, the meaning of this emblem is obviously easier to be understood by people. Using force to protect safety and sweat to develop is in line with the simple thinking of people in this era.

Coincidentally, the position of the Hongchen family also has a direction of development. Such a large area of ​​the demon forest is occupied by soul beasts. If it is not developed there, where will it be developed?
As for the soul beast?The life and death of soul beasts does not affect the natural ecology. Is there really no other beasts in the world except soul beasts? Compared with many ordinary creatures, soul beasts occupy only a small part of the biosphere.

Facing the list in his hand, Lan Nuo was going to search one by one from big to small. As for the soldiers, he basically didn't need to bring many, as long as he selected some qualified backbones from the captured Red Dust Legion.

The next battle does not require the strength of the legion. Lan Nuo can easily break through the fort of this group of landlords and Lao Cai himself. The reason for bringing this group of backbones is that they need to recruit volunteers locally. Form an army to participate in the next battle and liberate those tenant farmers who were oppressed by the gentry.

Before experiencing the possession of the will of the legion, Lan Nuo did not consciously form a legion with a military spirit, but just went for the combat effectiveness of the legion, using expensive weapons and strict training to obtain powerful legions one by one.

After all, it is not a large army battle in the information age. The strength of equipment and individual quality can basically determine the outcome, but after experiencing the possession of the will of the army, Lan Nuo changed his master. The legion of the army soul is very necessary.Only this kind of legion can help him gnaw away some hard bones.

And he has already planned the steps for these people to build their own military souls. The first step is to break their own shackles and make them realize that no one should step on their own head by nature.

This is also the easiest step, you only need to let them realize that the former big shots can also be defeated.And it's actually quite simple.

……

Zhongli Mountain Villa is a well-known big family from ten miles and eight villages. According to legend, it has a tradition of using living people to cultivate. Once relying on this kind of cultivation method, a titled Douluo was born, which made this mountain village famous far and wide. Outsiders are terrified.

It is said that the luxuriant green plants outside the villa can grow so luxuriantly only by using the flesh and bones of the people who broke into the villa by mistake as fertilizer.

It was another severe winter every year, and the mountain people who couldn't survive around knelt down in rows outside the villa, or prayed for grace to pay off their debts, or were desperate, and finally wanted to sell their fields, or were about to sell their land. They sold their sons and daughters to survive this harsh winter.

Obviously, land annexation on the Sun Moon Continent is becoming more and more serious. I am afraid that in a few years, there will be no such thing as self-cultivating farmers.

It's just that these days, it's not easy to change the tenant status of a landlord's family. It's really not possible to sell yourself as a slave. They all kneel in the cold wind, not daring to move, not even making too much noise, which will provoke the owner. The family is unhappy.

But this silence was soon broken. The tall and majestic city gate of the villa was severely smashed by a demon pillar that fell from the sky. While the rubble was flying, the troops marched straight to the villa with uniform steps. Approaching.

At the same time, someone began to read: "Duke Xinhuo's decree, no individual in the dukedom can hold more than [-] acres of land. Those who violate the law will have their land confiscated and will be subject to review!"

This order has been complained about at most now, but it is actually not a big problem. In reality, the early implementation is also the household contract responsibility system. There is an upper limit on the land held by each person, but it can be carried out on a family basis. joint contracting.

From the perspective of productivity, doing so is actually backwards. Landlords employing more tenant farmers can concentrate manpower for large-scale farming and water conservancy construction. If it is really compared to productivity, it is actually better than individual farmers. More advanced, but in the final analysis, compared with industrialization, they are still backward, so they must be banned.

If these people are really obedient, Lan Nuo can really let them go. As long as the land is distributed, some people will find that going to the city to work is more profitable than farming at home. You can assume the same responsibilities as landlords, but you don't need to occupy an extra share of social resources like landlords. If workers have them, the land will also be used. If the goals can be achieved, there is no need to use force.

It's just that before Lan Nuo's ferocious and destructive power has been truly seen, all his demands will be regarded as fantasy.

"What a big tone! Back then, even the Duke of Hongchen had to give way to my master, but it was just a few dogs of the new Duke who dared to bark in front of my Zhongli Villa. Come on, let these people live and die. Grab that guy and make him a corpse leader!" Beside the collapsed city gate, a shrill-voiced steward yelled loudly.

Lan Nuo stood on the Demon God Pillar that fell from the sky, and said to the troops behind him: "Remember, Zhongli Villa is suspected of conducting illegal human experiments! It must be thoroughly investigated!"
