The infinite journey of knights

Chapter 182 Production
The situation in Birch Village was quickly cleared up.

People here mainly rely on growing food for a living, and occasionally sell some small commodities to passing merchants as extra money.

Of course, the main gain is the robbery.

Yes, it is robbery.

Yatimu was also surprised when he knew this.

He thought that only the bandit group would rob, but he didn't expect this group of villagers to do the same.

But if this is the case, then it doesn't matter how these people are dealt with.

After all, this group of people cannot be regarded as good people no matter how they look at it.

Yatimu led people to patrol around here.

The conditions here are quite good. Not far away is an empty plain, which is enough to reclaim tens of thousands of acres of high-quality fields if it is seriously cultivated.

The reason why it has not been fully developed in the past is only because of the shortage of manpower and the fact that the bandit group is entrenched here.

Of course, the opportunities brought about by business travel in the past cannot be ignored.

After all, if you can rob, who wants to farm honestly.

Under this kind of atmosphere, those who were down-to-earth and dutiful were gradually coerced and became difficult to succeed.

But now it's Yatim's turn, and the rules are different.

"Call the people nearby to me."

Yatimu looked at the surrounding terrain and was quite satisfied with the appearance of this area.

Then he gathered the surviving people here, and then confiscated the fields they passed by, and then reissued them.

"Divide the fields?"

When the surrounding people heard the news, they were all shocked.

Although there are many fields that can be reclaimed nearby, in this era, if one acre of land is to be reclaimed, it requires a huge price.

Although there is no lord in the entire Birch Village, most of the people don't have much land.

Most of the reclaimed land is in the hands of a few chiefs.

Of course, by now, these leaders are all gone, and they were killed by Yatimu on the spot.

Before announcing the division of the fields, Yadimu killed the previous village head of the village in front of all the villagers.

"good."

Facing the astonished and unbelievable gazes of the surrounding people, Yadimu nodded lightly: "These fields will be distributed to you for cultivation in the future, and you usually only need to pay part of the land rent."

Due to the vast land and sparse population, and the backward farming technology, the standard for dividing the land this time is [-] mu per person, regardless of gender, as long as they are adults.

There are about 800 people in the entire Huamu Village, and there are about [-] people excluding the underage children.

This means that three or four thousand mu of land has been allocated.

But even so, Yadimu still has a lot left on hand.

It can be used to reward others later.

Of course, the allocated fields are not all well-cultivated cultivated land, and there will be some uncultivated land mixed in to some extent.

This is to bring out the executive energy efficiency of these people.

As long as these fields are their own, these uncultivated areas can always slowly become good fields in the future.

And the field is fundamental to the people of this era.

With fields, these people will settle down and obey command and management.

"Can't divide!"

Suddenly, a voice came from behind.

A young man rushed out from the crowd and directly stopped the people below: "No one can touch these fields!"

"Who is this?"

Yatimu looked at this man with a calm expression on his face.

"This is the village chief's son."

Someone on the side quickly gave an answer.

Gretel and the others noticed that with the appearance of this person, the surrounding people quickly lost their voices.

They instinctively looked at the young man, not daring to say anything.

The prestige of the former village head among the villagers here can be seen.

"Cotton."

Yatimu's voice suddenly sounded: "Kill it."

"Yes."

Cotton stepped forward with a grinning grin, and held the man down.

"What do you want to do. No!"

In front of the eyes of the villagers everywhere, he held the young man down and cut off his head.

A bloody human head fell on the ground, rolling around like a ball, with a hideous expression on its face, which looked particularly ugly.

"Anyone else have an opinion?"

Yatimu looked forward with interest: "While I'm still here, hurry up and stand up."

"I'm in a hurry."

The people around stopped talking, just stared at Yatimu with fearful eyes.

"I'm not talking anymore, are I?"

Yatimu sighed: "Then let me talk."

"The former village chief and the sheriff, and those related to them, please stand up."

He was riding a horse, looked at the dark heads in front of him and said lightly: "Now stand up and I promise not to pursue anything."

There was silence all around.

No one made a sound at all.

This is normal.

People seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. Seeing that the village chief's child fell to that end, he naturally did not dare to come out again.

Who knows what will happen after standing up?

Ten seconds passed quietly, and the surrounding area was still silent.

Yatimu sighed: "It seems that you are not willing to cooperate."

"Then let me put it another way."

"From now on, you are free to designate anyone who the former village head has a relationship with the sheriff."

"Every time you identify one, you can get these things."

He pointed to the side.

A whole bale of wheat has been piled up there, and it looks like it weighs at least a few dozen catties.

This is not a small temptation for ordinary villagers living in poverty.

What is more critical is what Yatimu said next.

"Within three minutes, if less than ten people are identified, then each family member will randomly select one to die for them."

The indifferent and calm words fell.

The faces of the people around changed suddenly.

Aliya raised her head and looked at Yatimu with some astonishment.

At this moment, she suddenly felt that the other party was a little strange.

Can such a cruel order be said so easily?
She couldn't believe it.

But brutal be cruel, the effect is indeed very effective.

No one doubted whether Yadimu dared to do it.

The previous head was still lying on the ground, and those eyes full of hatred were still open there.

So soon, they acted.

That's how people are. No one wants to stand out when it's not about them, but if it involves themselves, the situation is different.

"He's the sheriff's lover, and I've seen them go to bed!"

"This is the village chief's illegitimate son."

"And he, who used to be the village chief's subordinate, helped the village chief to do a lot of bad things."

Voices sounded one by one.

Everyone scrambled to open their mouths, for fear that they would not be able to make up the number of ten people.

After all, if there are not enough ten people, the knife will be cut on themselves.

When swords are added, no one will remain indifferent.

Sai Luo walked in front of him and counted one by one.

As for Cotton, he took his old brother there to arrest people and tied them up one by one.

The enthusiasm of the crowd was too hot, so soon Yatimu found that the number of people had already exceeded ten.

Not just more than ten, but more than thirty or forty when counted carefully.

In order to survive, people burst out with great enthusiasm.

Of course, there is also the idea of ​​breaking the jar and breaking it directly to the end.

After all, by now, they must have offended this group of people, so it's better to offend them to the end.

Otherwise, if you let them continue to live, God knows how you will retaliate against them in the future.

With this thought in mind, their actions became more active.

In the end, even the inconsequential relationship of having visited the village chief's house and begging for food in the past was revealed, leaving Sai Luo and the others speechless.

If this is really counted, there may be more than a hundred people.

Yatimu probably looked at the list, and then picked ten people from it.

"That's all."

He casually handed the list to Cotton.

Yatimu didn't intend to expand, so he only killed a few direct male relatives and people with deep interests.

Some relationships such as lovers are naturally let go.

There are not many people in the entire Huamu Village. If too many people are killed, won't Yatim himself be the one who suffers in the end?

There are no more than ten people, which is just right.

Kill these ten people, and in the interior of Birch Village, the influence of the previous leaders can be minimized, giving Yatim a clean village.

This can be regarded as cleaning the house, and then it will be a treat.

After that, Yatimu also planned to bring some relatives of Shaman gang members to this place one after another, and let them slowly enrich this area.

After dividing the fields, Yadimu still has a lot of fields on hand, many of which are fertile fields that have been reclaimed near water sources. It would be a pity not to use them.

This back and forth is quite a fortune.

Yes, earned.

Yatimu is quite satisfied with the harvest of this trip.

Then he turned around, and found that not far away, Sailuo and the others were looking at him.

There seemed to be anticipation in their eyes.

Yatimu immediately understood what they meant, so he smiled: "Don't worry, you will have some too."

"First arrange these people, and then it will be our turn."

Only then did Sai Luo feel relieved.

For the old subordinates who followed him, Yatimu would naturally not forget.

After that, as long as people in the Shaman gang meet certain conditions, they can get a certain amount of land grants.

Of course, the people who got the fields in front of them didn't do it for nothing.

After taking Yatim's fields, they also have the obligation to contribute to Yatim. After that, they must train during the slack season and help Yatim fight together when necessary.

This is the militia of the easy way.

Yatimu is equivalent to using the land as a price to hire these people and let them work for him.

At least in a short period of time, Yatimu can quickly gain a batch of vital forces.

"let's start."

With Yatim nodding, the activities of dividing the field continued.

The division of land this time is based on [-] mu for men and [-] mu for women.

Ten acres for the elderly and children.

In other words, assuming a family has two elderly people and two children, plus the husband and wife themselves, they can directly share hundreds of acres of land.

This benefit is quite good.

That is to say, the surrounding area has not yet been cultivated, and there are enough fields to withstand such a division.

Otherwise, there are some problems.

When dividing the land, Sai Luo took someone to write the voucher himself, and made two copies of it as the voucher. If there was a dispute later, it would be convenient for management.

It's free.

Yatimu has been busy for three full days with this task alone.

Three days later, Yatim began to organize people to start production.

It was the season for sowing grain. Although it was a bit late, it was considered farming time.

Yatimu had someone get a batch of seeds from the city of Lima and provided them to every family.

Of course, this is just a loan, and it must be repaid later.

It took a lot of time to finish these things.

This made Yatim a little speechless.

He obviously came here to kill people and wipe out the group of bandits, why did he start to organize production out of nowhere?

This is not his original intention.

In the final analysis, it is still due to the scarcity of talents.

If he had a little more people who could do things under his command, then he could hand over the work at hand to others and lead his people there to exterminate the bandits.

It's not like it is now, completely unable to let go.

But no matter what, Yatimu will leave after all.

The birch robber group, the existence of this group of robber group itself is a great threat to this place.

If they are not resolved, there is no way to develop well here.

That's for sure.

So after another few days of delay in the local area, he led his people to continue to set off to the location of the bandit group.

The location chosen by the group of robbers was very good. It was on a hill, which looked easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it was difficult to go up.

But this is not a problem for Yatim and others.

With a local guide who is familiar with the terrain, they easily let go and outflanked the path directly.

When they arrived at the bandit camp, Yadimu was a little surprised.

"So easy?"

He looked at the loose team in front of him, and couldn't help showing a little weird expression on his face.

It has been several days since he arrived at Huamu Village.

But the robber group here still seems to be calm, and looks quite slack.

Didn't receive the message at all?
its not right.

This place is so close to Huamu Village, Yatimu doesn't believe that everyone has no reaction to the changes in Huamu Village, must they be aware of it?

Or are they aware of the change but simply not paying attention?
Yatimu felt that this might be very big.

So he thought for a moment, then moved on.

Loken led his mountain hunters to form a team of archers and attacked first.

The gate was quickly breached.

At this time, the entire bandit group still didn't seem to react.

Most of them are still lying inside and have not gone out.

When Yatimu led people to kill them, all these people dispersed and were directly dispersed.

Loken and Cotton rushed over.

Gretel led several squad leaders to conduct command.

Soon, the battle was over.

The leader of this place was captured, and the whole process ended extremely easily.

"Are you the new leader here?"

Yatim looked at the person in front of him.

Standing in front of him was a tall middle-aged man.
