Blue Dragon Emperor: Lord of Thunder

Chapter 92 Stupid People, Smart People

"My lord, all the noble lands in the entire territory have been registered and sorted out, and the serfs who were still attached to the nobles after the war have also been converted to commoners."

Old Hadow respectfully handed in the documents for the registration of land recovery and the registration of serfs' change of nationality.

Ron flipped through the documents casually, and asked, "Did you encounter any resistance during the land recovery process? How is the progress of the land distribution work for converted serfs?"

Old Hadow said: "According to your order, except for the cultivated land reserved by the Lord's Hall, the rest of the towns have started land distribution, but the Lord's Hall is too short-handed, so far only the land distribution around Heishi Town has been completed. "

After forcing the nobles to sign the informed consent to give up the noble territory, Long En divided the territory into four urban districts according to the distribution of the towns, each district governing more than a dozen towns.

In order to establish the Lord's Office of the town management organization in each city, the few administrative personnel in Heishi Town were assigned to each city to preside over the establishment of the Lord's Office.

There are still too few civilians who can write and count. In this world where knowledge is monopolized by the upper class, civilians basically have no access to knowledge that can be described as expensive.

After thinking for a while, Ron said: "Go to those nobles and hire their descendants. Families that have developed for hundreds of years are full of collateral bloodlines that have no status but can write and count. They will be happy to work in the Lord's Hall of."

As Long En said, the nobles who were granted the last title in the western region have also been multiplying in this land for 200 years, and even 500 years.

Human nobles with strong seeding ability usually have four or five descendants. Their descendants continue to reproduce, and there are more and more collateral bloodlines that can be named noble surnames.

And these collateral bloodlines basically do not have the possibility of inheriting titles and territories, but they can accept the cultivation of the family, conduct spellcaster or knight training, and those without extraordinary talents will also be taught the knowledge of reading, writing and computing, and then manage for the family industry.

After Long took away the noble territory, many collateral bloodlines of the nobles also lost their jobs, which happened to allow them to enter the lord's hall.

Those aristocratic collaterals whose status is only a little higher than the common people will naturally not refuse to work in the Lord's Hall, which helps the Lord manage the territory, and some nobles will even take the initiative to send their descendants to the Lord's Hall, hoping to intervene in the management of the territory.

Old Hadow had managed properties for the nobles for decades. He knew very well what would happen if those nobles were allowed to enter the lord's hall, but he did not disobey Ron's order. After a few seconds of silence, he said: "...obey, my lord."

"I know what you're worried about." Ron smiled and said, "You think that if nobles enter the Lord's Hall, they will take the opportunity to rely on the Lord's Hall to bully the people, just like they did in their own territory."

"But don't forget, you are now working for me, for the real dragon. According to my law, the nobles who broke the law can be hanged directly. Once more nobles are hanged, the other nobles will naturally be honest."

Ron showed his fangs and smiled: "Besides, I'm also very happy to see them make more use of the Lord's Hall to gain power for themselves. Once they violate the law, it will be much easier to kill them."

Although the nobles' territories were taken away and the privileges of the nobles were deprived, those guys with titles are always a group of natural feudal cancers, and they might cause trouble one day. Only by killing them completely can Ron rest assured. .

But Ron had already established a territory, and he wanted the people in the territory to obey the laws he made. Ron also had to follow the rules. He hoped that those nobles would give him a chance to kill him.

Old Haddo bowed his head deeply and nodded in agreement.

"I think there is something I should report to you about the recovery of the noble land." Old Hado said.

Ron nodded, motioning for old Haddo to continue.

"The land reclamation work in the whole territory was not blocked, but a baron committed suicide after clearing the land and signing the document, and his family left the territory after his suicide and went to the capital of Polon. "

"Hmph, stupid." Ron said, "Having the courage to face death, but not having the courage to continue living after losing everything from the nobility, is really stupid."

Long En didn't have the slightest sympathy or pity for this kind of nobleman who was living in the past glory of the nobleman and refused to make any changes.

Seeing that old Haddo hadn't left yet, Ron asked, "Is there anything else?"

Old Hadow replied: "You summoned Earl Johnson a week ago, and now he is waiting outside your dragon's lair."

Longdu thought of this, and nodded to Old Hadow: "Then you go back first, and let them in when you leave."

"Yes, my lord." Old Hado saluted and left the Dragon's Nest.

Ron waited for a while, and Earl Johnson walked in.

"I salute you, lord." Earl Johnson saluted with his hands on his chest.

Ron looked at the old nobleman who was still in good spirits, and said with a smile, "How is the job of managing the city lord's hall? Although the job content is different, it shouldn't be difficult for you."

As a reward for taking the initiative to take effect and promptly reporting the nobles in series, Long entrusted Earl Johnson to manage the Lord's Office of a city.

In the past few days, Earl Johnson was familiarizing himself with the affairs of the Lord's Hall with the staff of the Lord's Hall, and then immediately carried out the land distribution work ordered by Ron. It was not until today that he had time to ride a griffin to meet Ron.

"It's a very good job, busy and fulfilling. It reminds me of the days when I learned to manage the farm before I inherited the title." Johnson replied.

Johnson did not shy away from nostalgia for his former aristocratic life, and appeared extremely frank, which made Ron smile even more.

Ron admired Earl Johnson very much, who could recognize the situation clearly and accept the status quo more quickly.

While those barons and viscounts were still full of resentment and pain for the lost territories, and drank their sorrows all day long, Earl Johnson had seized the opportunity and devoted himself to his new job.

"I heard that some nobles have been spreading some bad words about you?" Ron asked with a smile.

Earl Johnson didn't show any expression, and only said: "It's just some irrational remarks when venting emotions."

Ron shook his head with a smile: "Those idiots should thank you. If it weren't for you, they should have been buried in the ground as fertilizer by now."

Ron originally planned to kill all the stubborn nobles, but Earl Johnson's report letter prevented the nobles from joining together to resist Ron, and Ron lost the opportunity to clean up those nobles in one fell swoop.

Earl Johnson knew what Ron was referring to. He lowered his head and said, "After all, most of them are vassals of the Johnson family. As their lord, I still hope that they can all survive. Thank you for not blaming me for making it up. The act of advocacy has given such preferential treatment to the Johnson family."

Ron smiled and said, "I've always been tolerant of smart people."
