Overgod Ascension - 579

boom!

Wu Ming walked leisurely like a walk, wandering in the crowd, waving his sword sheath at will, and every time a farmer fell down and couldn’t get up for a long time.

“A real knight!”

Madame Amelia saw this scene, but she leaned softly on the door, completely desperate.

She originally thought that Wu Ming was just the second son of a nobleman, and took advantage of this opportunity to plot her husband’s territory, but she couldn’t imagine that such a young nobleman was already a real knight!

In fact, even for a real knight, it would be quite difficult to deal with dozens of people at once.

But the difference between the farmer and the trained fighters is too great, and they are simply bound to fight back, so even if any knight comes, they can easily suppress them, just like what Wu Ming is doing now.

call out!

Wu Ming finally took his sword out of its sheath, looking at the remaining farmer, his eyes gleaming.

“What gave you the courage to do it to me! A noble knight, a savage, the champion of the spring tournament, and the man who defeated the glorious knight of the church-William Wallace?”

Of course, due to the inconvenience of traffic, the results of the spring competition have not been passed here, otherwise Wu Ming estimated that his takeover would be much smoother, but he shouted out, and it was a little shocking.

“Now, punish yourself severely with your disrespectful hands to the lord, and kneel down and kiss the land under my feet, and I will forgive your previous infidelity, otherwise your soul can only go to hell and cry!”

The long sword flickered, showing that what he said was not a false statement.

“You are a real knight! The leader needs your protection!”

Something that made Amelia even more desperate happened.

The first to give in was the veteran Coff.

He knelt on his knees and kissed the ground under Wu Ming’s feet, saying in a pious tone.

As a rare and broad-minded person in his territory, he already knew that Mrs.’s plan had completely failed, and…this is a dark and dangerous world, and there must be a strong lord to protect the people! Women can’t do it after all!

This is helpless, but it is also a reality!

“Very good! As punishment, you only need to draw ten whips, and I forgive you for your previous sins!”

Wu Ming looked to the side: “Who wants to execute the sentence?”

“Lord Lord, I am willing to offer you loyalty and become your humble servant!”

Many tenant farmers immediately turned back and knelt down and kissed the land under Wu Ming’s feet.

Amelia softened her whole body and felt the betrayal deeply. The female sorrow deeply enveloped her, and even made her eyes go round.

The two daughters screamed in their ears, and her eyes went dark and she passed out completely in a coma.

…

“mother!”

“mother!”

After not knowing how long she opened her eyes, she saw the furnishings of her bedroom and the anxious faces of her two daughters.

“Gods… I seem to have had a terrible nightmare!”

Mrs. Amelia whispered: “I dreamt that a young devil came and wanted to take everything from me…”

“I’m so sorry… ma’am!”

The old butler with a broken nose stood aside, his face was wrapped in gauze, and he reminded with a voice that changed his tone: “That’s probably not a nightmare!”

Amelia sighed, sat up halfway, and saw Wu Ming.

“When you fainted, this was… Lord Lord saved you!” The butler continued to add.

“alright, you win!”

Amelia said helplessly: “I will leave with my two daughters!”

“Madam, I think you have misunderstood what I mean!”

Wu Ming said with a smile.

“Are you willing to marry my daughter, or…”

Amelia’s face flushed: “Are you insisting on your previous request?”

“I do need you… as my steward!”

After teasing this beauty enough, Wu Ming finally said.

“housekeeper?!”

Mrs. Amelia blinked her eyes and looked a little dull.

“Yes… I need someone who is familiar with the territory and has prestige to help me manage it. As my steward, I will pay you, and you and your daughter can continue to live here… Of course, if If you want, I am willing to adopt them as adopted daughters. When they grow up, I will prepare a generous dowry for each of them, how about?”

It is also an unspoken rule in the circle of nobles to be kind to the widow of the former lord.

Wu Ming doesn’t want his reputation for being mean or cruel to circulate in the circle. In comparison, the possible peachy rumors are nothing at all. This is very important.

“I promise!”

With almost no time to think about it, Mrs. Amelia agreed.

After all, she was just the daughter of a commoner, and she had no maiden family to rely on, and there was really no other place to go except for the territory.

“Cilis, Cecil, come and meet your godfather!”

She immediately became energetic and asked her two daughters to salute Wu Ming.

Although he knew that this way, Wu Ming had the custody of the two daughters and could exercise all the powers before they were minors, but there was no alternative.

“godfather!”

The two loli screamed sweetly, causing Beatrice next to her to snorted in dissatisfaction.

“As for you…”

Wu Ming looked at the poor old housekeeper and made a decision casually, knocking him down to the first level: “Just serve as the housekeeper’s deputy!”

…

The people led by Carlos soon learned an astonishing news, and they changed to a new lord.

That lord was extremely powerful, a true knight, and once defeated the Glory Knights of the church and the entire mercenary group—the rumors were always exaggerated.

With the protection of this powerful knight, you should be able to avoid the harassment of those damn bandits and savages, right?

After being led by the butler’s deputy and Joff, swearing allegiance to the new lord in batches, the hearts of all the people settled down.

The leader offers loyalty and tax to the lord, and the lord is responsible for protecting the leader under the rule. This is also a mutual power and obligation.

In the Dark Ages, a powerful lord, even if he is cruel, but as long as he has the strength, there will still be an endless stream of leaders to seek refuge, just for a little safety!

The scourge of a lord is so insignificant compared with the entire savages, the brutal beasts, and the sinister environment.

“This is my Carlos collar!”

Wu Ming rode a horse and began to patrol his territory, while the butler’s deputy next to him kept explaining to him.

After a lap, he had some intuitive understanding of his territory.

The area of the entire Lokas collar is nearly one thousand acres, which is much larger than the fiefs of the ordinary knights in the previous life. In terms of conversion, it is nearly 4 million square meters and 6,000 acres of land.

Of course, most of these are mountains and hills, and the cultivated land is only about 2,000 mu.

In the entire territory, there are ninety tenant farmers, two more freemen, one is proficient in blacksmithing skills, and one has a scholar.

In addition to these, there are also water mills, cattle stalls, warehouses, and manor courts on the territory. These are all public buildings, which belong to his lord in name.

But the most important thing is that as a lord, Wu Ming owns all the mountains, forests, rivers, and pastures. Among the two thousand acres of arable land, one thousand acres are his private land.

The leaders under his command, or serfs, had to cultivate his land first, and then go to work in their own barren land.

Even those lands were not owned by serfs, but because they paid taxes, the lord could not deprive them at will.

“When you count this, it’s more ruthless than the exploitation of the big landlords in ancient times!”

Wu Ming sighed inwardly.

It can be said that on the lord’s benefice, except for a few free people who own certain private property, everything else belongs to the lord.

“The efficiency of this exploitation is a bit too low…”

As a traverser with rich experience and edification from previous lives, Wu Ming is naturally very dissatisfied with this efficiency: “I can’t wait to tie all serfs to the land and all the people in slavery, so why not just exercise slavery? Forget it? It’s really a step backwards in history.”

There are naturally many golden ideas that he can make money, but all of them need people! Need a craftsman, a guy with a good skill to work for him!

“Now… I already have a knight canonization, which is regarded as the threshold for entering the circle of nobility. Some previous plans can be started…”

Anyway, it’s not just farming, but also the development of handicraft products, glass, refined salt, improving wrought iron, etc. Wu Ming is not too familiar with it, but also has a 70-80% certainty.

“Of course…First of all, you must first promote your authority!”

What makes people feel authority is naturally iron and blood!

If you apply this method internally, you can only get fear and resentment, but you can get cheers and wealth for the outside world.

“Geoff!”

Wu Ming said to the veteran: “Call all the great boys in the general’s territory!”

In the territorial court, Wu Ming looked like a judge, looking at the many young faces who were curious, awed, and anxious, and suddenly smiled: “From today on, you can choose to go to Qiaofu to receive warrior training after your farm work every day. Those who do will get a loaf of oatmeal bread as a reward after the training!”

“And when the spring plowing is over, I will take you to fight against the bandits and wild people around!”

His words aroused a thousand waves, but he raised his hands and suppressed all his voices: “As a lord, I promise you that those who perform outstanding in future battles will become free people and have their own. Opportunity for land!”

Half a step ahead of the times is a genius, one step is a lunatic!

Although Wu Ming couldn’t wait to liberate everyone in his territory directly into free people, he also knew that this was impossible and had to be done slowly.

In the future, refinement and division of labor will be the general direction, and these require a free population!
