Chapter 245 Cleansing and Governance
Chapter 245 Cleansing and Governance
The three cities were taken in one battle, and the Great Purge followed.
Gangs, smuggling, slavery...all industries with dark backgrounds were cleansed.
There is no forgiveness, no luck, no exceptions. Those adults who usually stand in high positions could never have imagined that the Yinglong Army would be so decisive, or even cruel, in its purge.
Don't they need some rats to do some shady things?
If they had the chance to ask Ash, he would give them a positive answer:
"unnecessary!"
The ruling class in the past needed them to make money to satisfy their own desires, but Ash didn't need that.
After he took away the property of the former nobles of the Nordel Empire and part of the nobles of the Ogar Kingdom, his assets once again exceeded 100 million.
Ash doesn't like ostentation.
Beauty, there are so many beauties in his house, he can hardly favor them all.
As for resources, his own strength has reached the strongest level under demigod, and there are no resources that can benefit him anymore. Even if there are, they cannot be bought with ordinary money, and he mostly has to rely on himself to snatch them.
So he just wants a society that suits his own preferences. This may be unrealistic in the eyes of others, but it is possible in reality. The only difference is that the rise and fall of a country depends on one person, and that person must be strong enough.
It just so happened that Ash felt that there was no one stronger than him in this area, and the only one stronger than him was his woman.
After the cleansing comes the governance. Although the talents trained by Martha and other dragon servants are not many, they are more than enough to deal with the three cities and their affiliated villages and towns.
After being confirmed by Nas, each official stepped into his or her own post and began to shine.
At the gate of Senmu Town, a group of people were crowded there.
A farmer who came into the city saw so many people there and couldn't help but be curious. He pulled someone over and asked, "Hey, Xili family, what's going on here today? It's so lively."
"Oh, the land is being distributed." The man looked at the farmer with envy, "Yinglong Army issued a notice saying that all farmers without land will be allocated basic farmland according to the number of people in the household multiplied by two, and all of this is free."
“Those who have land but are short of it will be given enough.”
"So good?" The farmer couldn't believe it. "Could it be fake?"
"The notice has been issued, how can it be false? Which force would joke about its own reputation?" the man replied.
The farmer's heart could not help but beat rapidly. He had five people in his family, but he did not have an acre of land. In other words, if this policy was really implemented, his family would get one, two, three
The farmer began to count on his fingers until all ten were spread out, and then he began to tremble.
Ten acres of land, his family can get ten acres of land of their own!
Seeing the farmer's excitement, the person who answered couldn't help but feel jealous, because his household registration was in the city and he couldn't get any land at all unless he was willing to move his household registration to the farmer's.
So he couldn't help but pour cold water on her: "Don't think too well, these fields can't be yours forever."
"Ah, what do you mean?" The farmer was stunned.
The city dweller said, "These fields are provided to you for free by the Yinglong Army, so the ownership is in their hands. You can only cultivate them yourself or rent them out for a higher price, and the maximum lease term cannot exceed twenty years."
"The most important thing is that farmland is provided according to the number of people in the household. That is to say, if someone dies in your family, you have to take back two mu of land."
"Oh." The farmer calmed down a little. Although he knew that the fields would not belong to him forever, he still felt very happy.
After all, it's free!
You have to know that he didn't have any land in the past, so he rented the land from the landlords. In addition to taxes, he had to pay an additional rent to the landlords. Now he only has to pay taxes, so the saved rent is a huge savings for him, and he doesn't have to count the rice in the future.
I just don’t know whether this policy can be implemented or not?
The farmer started to worry again. He was already over 30 years old, which was considered old age in this world, so he had some experience.
Knowing this policy, the big landowners will definitely not pass it and will definitely report it to the forces behind them.
After selling the goods and leaving the city, the farmers felt a little dreamy holding the money bags in their hands.
Because they had never seen any gangsters coming to collect money in the past, and even the guards were honest and didn't take any advantage.
This used to be quite dreamy.
On the way home, the farmer glanced at a certain estate and then froze in place.
He knew the manor; it was the home of the landlord from whom he had rented land in the past.
But now, a team of elite soldiers were moving valuables, and it was obvious that their house had been ransacked.
When the farmer got home, he saw his eldest son running over to greet him excitedly: "Dad, good news! That old man Boni is dead!"
Boni is dead? The farmers were stunned. Boni was their village chief, a jerk who was very good at embezzling money. Most of the villagers wanted him dead.
"How did he die?" asked the farmer.
"A knight has arrived. Push him directly to the center of the village, and then swish!" The farmer's eldest son made a sword-swinging gesture, "Just chop off his head!"
The farmers were stunned. The old village chief who used to rely on his son to bully others died just like that?
A sense of absurdity arose in his heart.
The farmer's eldest son continued excitedly, "That knight is so handsome, Dad, I want to be a knight in the future!"
The farmer's eyes darkened, but he patted his son on the shoulder and said, "Okay, when we have money in the future, we will definitely support you to become a knight."
As for when the money will be available, the farmer doesn't know either. After all, he knows that the land he cultivates is limited, so the output is also limited.
However, his output is probably not enough to cover the huge expenses of his son becoming a knight.
Speaking of money, the farmer's eldest son seemed to think of something: "Oh, by the way, the knight also gave us money! He said it was to compensate us for the money we had embezzled before."
The farmer's eldest son pointed to the house and said, "Mom is counting there. There are so many that I can't even count them with ten fingers. They are all silver coins!"
When the farmer entered the house, his wife came up to him immediately. Her face was filled with joy. "Master, we are rich now. The boss above has gone crazy and given us forty-six silver coins and fifty-three copper coins!"
"Now we have enough money for food for a year!"
Looking at the money bag his wife handed over, the farmer took it with slightly trembling hands.
The moment the farmer felt the heavy weight in his hands, he felt that all this was real and not false.
Two days later, the farmer looked at the land deed in his hand and his children happily eating meat. He suddenly felt that under the leadership of the Yinglong Army, it was not impossible for his son to become a knight.
