Chapter 8 A strong declaration

Roman spoke, and his rather loud voice echoed far under the sky.

"I am Roman Split Armor, the lord of Sig Town, your future ruler!"

"You should know that this land, all the land, now belongs to me!"

The peasants had no land, and everything they could see was owned by the nobles. This was an extremely terrifying thing in the eyes of modern people.

Freemen are said to be freemen, but they can only rent land and pay rent in the form of money, labor, kind, etc., and can never truly own their own land.

There was a strong personal dependence between the nobles and their tenants.

And there is no end to oppression.

"You are ignorant and foolish, and have committed an unforgivable sin."

"Everything that swims in the rivers, grows on the mountains, beasts on the ground, and birds that fly across this sky, all belong to me."

"Now, I want to exercise my rights, I want to take back the ownership of this land, I want to re-plan all of this, and I will never allow you to waste my resources like this!"

"Furthermore, in the past few decades, you have gone into the mountains to cut down, poach and fish without permission, and have violated aristocratic laws. Everyone must pay me a penalty of 1 gold coin!"

Roman sat on top of the tall horse, with his back to the dazzling sun, and his entire face seemed to be immersed in darkness, his eyes looking indifferently at the dark crowd.

After living in this world for more than ten years, I have learned nothing else. This aristocratic style that is superior to others has been learned to its essence.

Before he left, he asked Grand Duke Lijia for three years of tax exemption.

In other words, in the past three years, he can manipulate these idiots at will without having to answer to anyone.

The scene seemed to have pressed the pause button, and there was silence.

Suddenly, it seemed like a pot exploded.

"no, do not want……"

"Master, please have mercy, we can't afford the penalty..."

"Please have mercy..."

"No, 1 gold coin? This is crazy..."

"You are willing to give alms to slaves, do you think your farmers are worse than slaves?"

Begging for mercy, wailing, everyone was begging, falling down like wheat, countless pleading eyes gathered, and some even roared and rushed over!

Stab!

The sound of friction between sword blade and scabbard.

The crisp and silky metallic sound suddenly rang in everyone's ears, making everyone feel excited and have goosebumps all over their bodies.

Everyone was shocked to find that the two noble knights in full armor behind Roman drew their heavy swords at the same time.

They were riding horses, silent, holding swords in both hands, the sword tips shining with cold light pointed directly at the sky, like two ruthless killing machines.

The farmers who wanted to rush forward to beg for mercy were so frightened by this turn of events that they backed away, fearing that blood would splash at the next moment.

Roman was unmoved and continued: "But I give you two choices, either pay the penalty or obey the arrangement."

Is there any other choice?

1 gold coin is a unit they have never come into contact with, and copper coins are considered precious.

"Also, you will send all the children in your family under the age of 15 and over 5 to my manor."

After the bomb of 1 gold coin, everyone became numb to this order.

Roman added: "All businessmen stand in front of me."

Based on the information sent by Moore, Roman found that the commercial trade in Sige Town had taken shape. As the population increased, there would be various needs.

Although Sige Town is surrounded by high mountains and land transportation is difficult, the water system is developed and can meet basic commercial transportation.

The Buro River is divided into two branches. The first branch passes through the Silver Dragon Canyon and passes through Sige Town. The other branch bypasses the Silver Dragon Canyon.

However, Silver Dragon Canyon is full of reefs and turbulent currents, which pose certain navigation risks.

This resulted in not many businessmen coming to Sige Town.

After a while, the businessman from Sige Town probably understood that he could not escape this situation, so he squeezed in from behind the crowd, feeling very uneasy.

Roman looked down at the businessmen in front of him: "I know that some of you are not from Sige Town, but your business activities are without my permission and you have not paid business taxes. You should also be punished."

"Yes, sir." The businessmen looked grim.

Roman was not too harsh on this group of businessmen. He said: "Your previous business taxes do not need to be paid for the time being, but in the future your business behavior must meet my requirements."

At this time, a young businessman suddenly said:

"Master, all your demands are reasonable, and we will obey you. The mountain is your property, and we are all thieves who steal your property. But why do you only focus on the thief and ignore the real person?" Where's the mountain thief?"

Roman looked at the young businessman who was speaking. He knew that his tough attitude might have aroused some dissatisfaction in the hearts of these people. Someone actually spoke up for the farmer?

"who are you?"

"More Perea. The son of Selin salutes you, Master Roman!" Morey bent down and bowed.

Morey has a handsome face. He is about 20 years old. He has been on the road all year round. His skin is bronze and he wears a well-tailored robe. His appearance and temperament are obviously not that of a Sig Town businessman.

Selin Perea is a famous businessman, and Roman has heard of this name.

There are countless children of big businessmen, so it would not be surprising to see an illegitimate child, who might be useful in the future.

Roman snorted and said coldly and arrogantly: "I will thoroughly investigate everyone. I will not let go of any of those who hide in the mountains. No matter whether they are thieves or robbers, no one can use my resources in my territory without paying a price!"

He looked at the crowd again.

"From today on, I forbid you to cultivate my fields. All your previous cultivated lands will be abandoned! The guards will supervise you. Whoever dares to cultivate the fields without authorization will be executed! Tomorrow is the beginning of everything. You will accept my rule from now on and accept all the orders I arrange for you unconditionally!"

These guys who know nothing about the land will work in vain if they don't change their production mode.

Next, Roman's abdomen contracted, his chest bulged, and a fierce breath like fire and steel seemed to burst out from the depths of his throat. He said in a sonorous voice:

"I reiterate that I will exercise my rights to take back all the land in Sige Town. All resources must be completely controlled in my hands. I declare that your previous way of living and farming has changed! I will redistribute everything. I will not let you go! You just have to obey!"

After that, he pulled the reins and rode away under the gaze of everyone.

Moer watched everything happening in front of him with sweat dripping down his back, and wiped the sweat from his forehead with a pale face.

He was immediately relieved of Roman's previous abnormal behavior, and murmured in his heart, this is the aristocratic style I am familiar with.

But he has heard of people who fished out the pond, but he has never seen people who dug three feet into the ground.

Moer felt his heart trembling.

Can Sige Town in the future go back to the past?
