Chapter 36
the next day.

Early in the morning, the residents of the town received an announcement from Butler Hughes.

The lord is about to build a city.To encircle their town.That city wall is only ten meters high and three meters thick. The most important thing is that the city wall is five kilometers long.

You may think that five kilometers is not much, but if it really appears in reality, five kilometers can be said to be invisible to the naked eye.Very big.Think about it in the ancient times of the earth, what city can be compared with such a city?

"Go and see the announcement." A resident of the territory shouted on the street.

"Hey, Henry. What did the announcement say, you are so excited?" A familiar person leaned out of the window and asked loudly.

"Go and have a look and you'll find out. It's definitely a good thing, I have to tell other people the news." Henry didn't stop, announcing it loudly in the town.

There were more and more people at the bulletin board next to the castle.

Most of the people in the town can't read or write.Can only let others help them read it.

"Hey, those in front of you, those who know how to read, hurry up and tell us what the lord is talking about. Don't just read it for yourself." The people behind couldn't help asking.

An elderly man at the front looked at the notice, then at the dark residents behind him, his hands trembling with excitement, and he said loudly: "Everyone, be quiet, now I will read the Lord's order for you all." "

The crowd behind quickly fell silent.

Not only the original residents, but also the new residents and mercenaries.The large square in front of the castle was filled with crowds.

"My lord intends to build a new city, I believe everyone knows it. This time the new city will use cement, which is the kind that Hughes butler used to build public toilets for everyone last time. It is very strong. Also, the men and women in the town You can go, 10 copper coins per person per day. According to your contribution, you can be allocated to a new house after the new city is built." Hearing this.There are wages, and they can be assigned to a new house.A roar of excitement erupted from the crowd behind.

Who doesn't know now that a house built with cement is very strong, even if a soldier beats it with a hammer, he can't use cement as a wall.If I worked hard when building a new city, wouldn't I be able to have a house like this?

Although the residents in Rocco's territory lived a better life, the houses were piled up with ten blocks, and some of them were earth-built houses. How could this new house make them not excited?Who doesn't want their home to look amazing?
"Quiet, besides, the lord also said. Mercenaries, you can also join in. After the new city is completed, the lord can let people investigate your character. If you pass the test, you can join the new city and become a lord." Residents of adults. Similarly, you can also get a new mercenary garrison. Of course, there is still rent. It just depends on your contribution when building the new city. The higher the contribution, the less the rent in the future. Tomorrow Hughes The housekeeper will ask someone to count."

"Okay, that's roughly what the announcement said. The old man hurried home after reading. He wanted his son and grandson to join in the construction of the new city.

People are old.Think more.The lord is building a new city now, obviously to prevent those barbarians after winter.Otherwise, why would we build four walls first?Now the territory is getting better and better.The population is increasing.Under the leadership of the lord, the old man believes that in the future, the new city will let many people break their heads and join in.

In previous years, when the barbarians came to attack, they would first attack those small nobles and small territories.There were also those who came to attack their territory, but they were all killed by the mercenaries on the border.But every year, most of the lord's income is given to the mercenaries who died in battle, as well as wages, and there is not much left, let alone the development of the territory.

If there is a new city, will you still be afraid of those barbarians?There are also those newly added troops in the New Year. It is conceivable that their territories are different this year.The lord is planning to avoid future troubles.

The next day, Butler Hughes and Kerry came outside the town, where there was a large open space that had not yet been developed.There are only tens of thousands of people that can be accommodated here.In the current territory, there are about 3 residents plus mercenaries. There are about 2 residents in the territory, and there are more than 1 mercenaries. They rely on the Jones Mountains all year round to hunt wild beasts and fierce beasts. , the so-called ferocious beasts are more powerful than wild beasts.

They are then sold to the caravans that come to the territory, or they are employed by the residents of some towns, and there are caravans outside to maintain their lives. Strictly speaking, they are not considered residents of the territory.

Klee said: "Butler Hughes, let's talk about it, I'm not good at this. Hehe." Klee said with some embarrassment around his head.He is a soldier, and he is good at killing people, but he is really not used to facing tens of thousands of people.

Hughes glanced at him and said, "Kerry, you can now be the commander of the guards next to the lord. There will be many such things in the future, and I must get used to it. You think you are still a small soldier before. Hmph!"

Hearing that Hughes was angry, Klee did not dare to refute. Although he is extremely powerful now, butler Hughes is the chief steward of the castle, and his status is much higher than that of the guard commander.He could only nod awkwardly.

When the tens of thousands of people below saw Butler Hughes and Commander Kerry standing on it, they had long been quiet, and the people in front could still hear Butler Hughes admonishing Commander Kerry just now.Naturally, they dare not make any noise.

Steward Hughes looked at the people below who waited consciously and quietly, nodded in satisfaction and said, "Everyone should know about it. Your lord asked us to build a new city. The details were also mentioned in yesterday's announcement. But, I want to say it again today, whether it is the original residents of the town or the residents who joined us recently, they are all the subjects of the lord, and you will be treated equally. When the new city is built, the lord has said that I will give you a very big surprise , specifically what it is. I won’t talk about it.”

Butler Hughes is here to play tricks, just to think about their itch, so work hard.

"Then, mercenaries, although you are not residents of the territory, you also live in the town. The mercenaries are all stationed in the town, and we are familiar with it. In the past, you also performed your duties very well in resisting the barbarians and enemies. Our lords are all aware of it. Now there is an opportunity in front of you to become a resident of the lord. Become a mercenary group in the new city. You can also take your family over, and the lord will treat them equally. There will be more in the future There are many preferential policies or projects, the choice is up to you.”

Hughes looked at the mercenaries below and said.This is an opportunity, and it is up to them whether they can seize it.As a steward, Hughes certainly knew what benefits these mercenaries would have if they really joined the territory.Among other things, those cultivation methods, as well as physical skills, etc., the lord will definitely let them practice.

"Okay, think about it for yourself. Next, I will assign your work. Barbarians and beasts can attack us at any time after winter. You have seen it in previous years. If there is a city wall, our safety will be greatly improved. Improvement, it all depends on your contribution."
