Heroes of Silver Moon Chapter 485

In the early morning, most of the soldiers of the lord's coalition army were still sleeping soundly, but the soldiers of the new army were already cleaning the blood on the city wall. Simon stood on the city wall, looking out at the **** land outside.

"Siegel is gone. He packed his backpack and left the camp alone last night without any guards." Harris walked up to him and said expressionlessly.

"Hmph, getting emotional, playing petty temper, really has him!" Simon hummed dissatisfied.

As a retainer, even if he is demoted, he should say hello to Simon before leaving, but now Siegel's series of behaviors are obviously angry and awkward.

"Is it really necessary to do this?" Harris wondered.

In his view, Simon's punishment for Siegel was too harsh. Hitting and scolding a few times is enough, if you have to demote him, he will be lower than the three of Alyosha, and be at the same level as those retainers and children.

Such a face-saving person, how could he accept it in his heart.

"The discipline of the new army must be enforced, Harris, your idea is very dangerous!" Simon glanced at him coldly.

Harris felt a sudden in his heart, knowing that Siegel's leaving without saying goodbye made this guy quite angry, so he simply lowered his head and did not answer.

After a few minutes, the anger in Simon's heart subsided a little, and he looked straight ahead and asked, "How is that soldier?"

Harris had been prepared for a long time, and replied without thinking: "It has been sent for treatment, it's just some skin trauma, nothing serious."

Simon nodded and said, "Well, these fighters have risked their lives for us, so we must not let their hearts be chilled."

There was another silence on both sides.

After thinking about it, Simon was the first to ask, "How many people died in the new army?"

Although in the previous battles, the new army only fired a few rounds of guns and basically did not participate in close combat, but there were professionals and archers among the barbarians, and these people caused a considerable number of casualties to the new army.

Moreover, before the coalition forces arrived, the new army had already fought a single battle, so Simon predicted that the new army must have suffered many casualties this time.

"More than 200 people were killed, and more than 400 people were injured. Among them, 56 people were disabled and could no longer fight." Harris replied succinctly.

"Okay." Simon nodded calmly, and said to Harris: "The disabled soldiers are transferred to the logistics, find them a job, and pay the compensation according to the death standard. You go and call Deborah, I want Tell him something."

Before leaving, Harris hesitated again and again, but still gritted his teeth and asked: "What should Siegel do? He has been making his position lower than the other three. Is it a bit unsightly?"

Among Simon's confidants, Siegel, Alyosha, Gratton, Bullard, and Deborah, these five cousins form a faction of their own. Except for Deborah, who has always held a civilian position, the status of the other four people in the new army is basically at the same level, only lower than Harris.

But now that Siegel has been demoted, and his status is lower than the other three for no reason, this makes everyone feel uncomfortable. It is good that Siegel did not turn his face on the spot.

Simon put his hands on the battlements, tapped his fingers on the concrete wall, and said leisurely: "His temperament needs to be honed again. Even if he is naturally grumpy, he must not violate the rules I set, but your consideration is also reasonable. I'll handle it with caution."

Seeing that Simon seemed to have the bottom line, Harris said nothing more, nodded and left. Half an hour later, Deborah walked up the city wall and came to Simon.

"The first thing is that the pension must be paid out truthfully. This will not only reassure the soldiers, but also increase their prestige." Without too much nonsense, Simon directly opened his mouth to order.

"This..." Deborah's expression was a little distorted, and she asked with some distress: "Is it really necessary to pay the soldiers who died in other lords, and the amount is so high?"

Simon glared at him angrily, and asked, "Is that my money or yours? I don't even care about what you care about?"

Deborah had nothing to say immediately, that is, even our honorable Lord Simon didn't feel sorry for him, what kind of **** is he doing, what the Lord Lord wants to do, let's do whatever we want, even if the money is all squandered, from now on It has nothing to do with him!

"The second thing is that now that we have an army, the defense circle has been built, and the barbarians' riots have just been blocked, it's time to consider recruiting the people." Simon said slowly without noticing Deborah's little emotions .

"Well, I will dock with the Royal Chamber of Commerce." Deborah nodded back.

Deborah and the Royal Chamber of Commerce have previously agreed that as long as the new territory can establish a defense system, they can help the new territory recruit people. Although the price is ridiculously high, it is indeed the key to the rapid development of the territory.

After all, no matter how much land you have, if no one uses it, it will only be a useless wasteland, just like the Hawke family.

The territory actually owned by the Hawke family can completely develop five towns, and this is the case when Valery ceded Qiangmu Town.

But in reality, the Hawke family has only three towns. Why, isn't it because there are no people to live in, and a large area of land is wasted? .

If this is in the northern border where every inch of land is expensive, the Hawke family will definitely be scolded to death by those northern border lords.

Simon thought carefully, tapped his fingers, and then ordered: "One more thing, the compensation for the soldiers who died in the new army cannot be the same as that of the traditional army."

Deborah opened his mouth, but wisely, he didn't try to dissuade him. After all, as the only bachelor, the only educated person, and the only staff member beside Lord Simon, he just needs to be obedient.

Go out and make suggestions! Go **** solve problems!

"All the families of the soldiers who died in battle were asked if they would like to move to live in the new territory. If they are willing, each person can be allocated five acres of land to cultivate.

In addition, as the family members of the fallen soldiers, I can also compensate them with an additional five acres of land. In terms of property, I will compensate them with five gold coins. "Simon said slowly.

"You are so generous!" Even though she was prepared, Deborah was stunned by Simon's arrogance.

If this kind of death compensation is spread, I am afraid that some individuals will be willing to die under Simon's command!

Not to mention property, which is four or five times that of the traditional army, but the compensation for cultivated land is enough to tempt those poor people, because having land to cultivate means that they don't have to worry about starvation at all.

The northern border has less land and more people. The nobles and country gentry still control large tracts of land. The average land owned by the people is less than three mu.

The situation in the southern border is slightly better because there are fewer people, but it is not much better, because even if it is a wasteland, the ownership of the land is still owned by the nobles, and private cultivation is a dead end, and the per capita land is only five acres.

Under such circumstances, Simon's compensation for the fallen soldiers cannot be described as generous at all.

"By the way, we have established a complete defense system. According to the law of pioneering, we are now qualified to report the territory to the royal family, and then wait for the royal family to review it. After the above things are completed, you have to go to the royal capital. "

Regardless of Deborah's resentful eyes, Simon ordered again.

"To report the territory to the royal family, you need territory information, detailed maps, as well as defense facilities and troop distribution. Are you ready?" Deborah asked a little bit painfully.

"Why do I have to prepare?" Simon looked at Deborah and said confidently, "Shouldn't you prepare these?"

"Damn it!" Deborah was so anxious about Lei's appearance, and had to do so many things, did he think he was a ruthless working machine?

Swallowing, Deborah lost her mind and asked as if resigned to her fate: "Is there anything else?"

"Yes!" Simon smiled, and said unceremoniously: "When you go to the capital, you have to recruit some administrative talents. There are so many things in the new territory, I think you are a bit too busy."

"Hehe." Deborah's face twitched, and she said through gritted teeth, "Then I still have to thank you!"

With nothing else to do, Deborah turned around and was about to leave, but suddenly thought of something, so she turned her head to look at Simon, and asked solemnly, "What should the new territory be called?"

Simon looked at the majestic mountains in the distance, and murmured with flickering eyes: "Let's call it Xinfa!"

"New law?" Obviously not understanding the meaning behind it, Deborah frowned and savored it.

"Yes, a new law, a new system, I want to open up a piece of pure land on earth. In my territory, those corrupt officials who break the law and those lawless nobles cannot be tolerated. Everyone must be bound by the law! "

As if he had figured out a certain belief, the light in Simon's eyes became brighter and brighter.

Ever since he came to this world, although his behavior style seems to be that of a rich and well-clothed young master who doesn't know the sufferings of the world.

But in fact, as a time traveler, he has been watching the world from the perspective of a bystander, just like manipulating game characters in front of the screen.

However, because he didn't want to be noticed by others, he deeply hid his natural indifference.

Until when did he start to change?

That's right, when he was threatened by Lauren, so he killed that poor girl named Madeleine without hesitation!

During the adventure town experience, this girl helped them a lot in replenishing supplies.

But just because Lauren wanted to subdue Simon, because the Hood family wanted to defeat the Hawke family's will, and because of the contest between the two noble families, this poor girl was put on the chessboard by Lauren, and then he was merciless. Spare no mercy.

From that moment, Simon's cold heart, which had been buried deeply, was finally touched.

They were attacked in the slums of Wangdu, and because of his small favor, the one-eyed old mother didn't hesitate to distract the ghouls away, but because of their own affairs, they let the one-eyed old mother starve to death!

One Eye saved all of them with his life, but all of them, the princess of the royal family, the holy son of the church, and the boss of the gang, couldn't even fulfill this trivial request.

When he walked into the simple and narrow room, opened the bedroom curtain, and saw the old man's body, Simon felt angry for the first time in his heart. He hated the cruelty of this world, hated the injustice of fate to the people at the bottom, and even more so. Hate your own shamelessness and powerlessness.

That's why the capital has a poverty alleviation base, and tens of thousands of poor people have a livelihood. They don't have to live in fear all day long, they don't need to be hungry or full, and they don't have to suffer serious illnesses due to a minor illness without money to treat them. Finally passed away tragically.

In the end, at the time of parting, Irina's affectionate expression completely opened his heart.

The kiss to Her Highness the Princess meant that he let go of all his indifference and vigilance, stepped forward, walked through the cold screen, changed from a game player to a game character, and completely integrated into this game of mortals.

Therefore, although he is saving a dowry for himself, he also wants the people living in the new territory to live and work in peace and contentment, to be rich and healthy, not to be oppressed by arrogant nobles, not to be searched by corrupt officials, and to rely on his own hardworking hands to support the Tomorrow, the path to a better life.

The premise of all of these lies in more just and thorough laws, a more complete administrative judicial system, and copying the laws of this world can only cultivate arrogant and greedy nobles and corrupt officials who abuse power forever.

Simon is only one person, but in his mind, there are countless reformers from Blue Star, who shed blood, sacrificed and brainstormed to establish just laws and systems.

Simon does not intend to completely reproduce these laws and systems, because some of them are not realistic at all, but as long as the most critical points are done well, the people living in the new territory will get ten times and a hundred times happiness.

Of course, he is not so great, these are all following the trend, and selfishness also accounts for a large proportion.

When these laws and systems are implemented, as long as there are enough people~www.mtlnovel.com~ plus his own alchemy technology and blue star knowledge, the territory will inevitably flourish, and he will be more confident that the royal family will feel that , perhaps marrying Irina to him will bring even more benefits.

Therefore, his territory must implement new laws and a new administrative judicial system.

Therefore, the territory is named, New Law!

Deborah left in horror, knowing what it meant.

Human beings will always rule out heresy, and now the world is dark, the arrogant and greedy nobles unite with corrupt and depraved officials, or they are completely the same kind of people, because in this era, nobles and officials are mostly relatives, and they search for anything from the people at the bottom. Wealth can be searched.

Property, land, beauty, labor, as long as they want, the people must dedicate these things to them.

Under such circumstances, Simon wants a solipsism in the new territory. The resistance and difficulty can be imagined. All those who have vested interests will try their best to stumbling the new territory.

Because they are afraid, afraid that once the new law is introduced, they will lose all their privileges.

You can't force the people to pay more taxes; you can't use various means to annex people's land; you can't take someone's daughter back home to enjoy without any scruples; you can't force the people to work for them, and so on.

Deborah really doesn't understand why Simon has to take such a big risk, and where does he have the confidence to be an enemy of the whole world!

Simon stood on the city wall in the early morning, the sun was just rising in the sky, a ray of light swept across the towering mountains, pierced the shadows, and shone on him.

"What a dazzling light! The people who illuminate it can't open their eyes, and they will cry if they look directly at it." He closed his eyes and murmured indistinctly.
