Start as Inherited Baroness

"I wonder what the purpose of Sir Leedley's coming here is?" Simon smiled slightly and said calmly.

"My Lord Baron, I am here this time to discuss something secret with you."

Lederai glanced at the guards and Mader in the hall and said solemnly.

"If you have something to say, just say it. Otherwise, go back to where it came from." Simon waved his hand and said.

The strength of the Anderson family is not small, but he is not weak now. With Fort Fortitude, there is no need to be afraid of the earl.

Doesn't the Earl's family have evenly matched opponents? It's impossible to use all your strength to deal with him.

Hearing this, Ledelai's face darkened, he was silent for a moment, and then said with a slight smile: "It's not a big deal, I came here to redeem some soldiers.

Previously, they disguised themselves as bandits and sneaked in... They wanted to destroy a real bandit group, but unexpectedly they had a misunderstanding with you..."

Simon smiled after hearing what he said, and suddenly understood that the bandits who had previously attacked the Fearless Territory were the work of the Earl Anderson family.

They were so unscrupulous that they just made up any excuse and came to ask for someone.

“That’s really unfortunate, I’ve already executed them all, I’m really sorry.

They didn't reveal their true identities before they died, otherwise they wouldn't have caused such a tragedy..."

Simon said with some sadness on his face.

"What!?" Leled was shocked when he heard this, and his expression changed.

"However, their leader is still there. His name should be Yise. He is very tough-talking. His true identity has not been revealed for so long."

Immediately afterwards, Simon curled his lips and smiled again, playing with the taste.

"Lord Baron, he is my brother. This is a misunderstanding. Please forgive his rashness and release him!"

Lederai bowed respectfully and said seriously.

"That's impossible. When I caught him, he was leading the bandits to attack my fearless territory.

Before, they massacred the villages in the Three Mountains Territory. How could they be behaving like a noble? "Simon said contemptuously.

"Lord Baron, we are willing to pay a ransom of one hundred and fifty golden eagles. Other soldiers can each pay two golden eagles.

From now on, the Anderson family will definitely restrain their children and stop causing you any trouble. "

Lederai said immediately, his face still calm.

"As I said, except for Iser, all the other robbers have been executed."

Simon smiled slightly, looked directly into his eyes, and said softly.

Those prisoners were all good manpower, how could he return them.

Ledele was silent for a while, then nodded slightly: "Okay, please Baron, please release Ise, and we will pay immediately."

"No problem, I'll give it to you as soon as I get the money. It's useless if I hold him hostage." Simon said with a grin.

Both sides basically had their cards on the table, and the Anderson family admitted defeat.

Afterwards, Lederai followed Mader out of the lord's hall, went outside the city to withdraw money and paid the ransom.

After Simon received the news, he also asked Airey to let Yither out.

This guy's tone is indeed harsh. Airei tortured him for so long and said nothing.

"Brother Ninth! My family finally came to save me!"

As soon as Iser was thrown out of the city, he was held up by several caravan guards and brought to Lederai.

"I originally thought you were a stupid pig, and all five hundred armored elites were destroyed.

But now it seems that Baron Simon is really not a guy to be trifled with, and he actually built such a castle in such a short period of time.

This is not in line with common sense. Could he still be the illegitimate son of Marquis Val?

How much help can Carlyle, a businessman, provide? The elite soldiers in the city cannot do anything fake...

Prepare a carriage for him. Why is he so thin? "Leled looked at Yi Se and said.

"They only fed me rye porridge and black bread... so barbaric!

Simon Hollen is a shameless person who doesn’t understand the decency of aristocrats at all..." Yisser said humiliatingly.

"Okay, he was just a lucky untouchable before. How can he understand the honor of a noble? Let's go back first.

This time I brought another five hundred elites. The family can only mobilize these forces in this matter, and we must make good use of it.

Simon Hollen has become a hero, and we must find allies. "

"By the way! I was betrayed! We had agreed to act together before, but..." Yisei said a little frantically.

"Tell me more about it."

...

Simon was on the rooftop of the main castle, watching the Anderson family's motorcade go away.

In fact, he just had the idea of ​​sending troops to destroy these guys.

But then I think about it, today is different from the past.

At this time, there were many other forces passing through the territory, so it was impossible to do it quietly.

Once the news leaks out, the Anderson family will have to fight with him even for the sake of face.

Even if he couldn't capture the Fort of Fortitude and was caught in a massacre of the village, he wouldn't be able to bear it anymore.

"Let's take revenge later. Anyway, the Green Stone Territory is in the forest valley in the south, not too far away."

Simon thought about it and returned to the Lord's Hall.

"Mailan, go notify Sarit and ask him to increase his vigilance recently," he ordered.

"Yes! Sir!" Mailan responded and left.

A few days passed like this, nothing happened.

Moreover, Sarit led troops to patrol the territory many times and found no trace of unknown armed forces.

It seems that Ledelai took people to the Three Mountains Territory.

On this day, after Simon finished his meal in the morning, he called Mader to the Lord's Hall.

"Lord Baron! What do you have to say?"

"A few days ago, I went to inspect the slave manor and found that the slaves were very slow in their work.

Unless you are driven with a whip, you don't know how to find a job. I have a way to change this situation. "

Simon looked at him with a faint smile and said.

"Lord Baron, this subordinate was negligent.

I wonder if you have any clever ideas? "Made asked curiously.

“From now on, a work-point system will be implemented among slaves, with each work-point corresponding to a bronze star.

From now until the harvest, slaves will be given two work points for a day's work, which is equivalent to the money given to the slaves.

After harvesting, there is no need to pay work points, let them earn it by themselves.

From now on, those serfs will have to use their work points to buy food, clothing, etc., and there will no longer be a unified arrangement for meals.

Moreover, the fields that each serf was responsible for cultivating were fixed, and any problems could be traced to the individual.

In addition, 10% of the harvested grain will be converted into work points and distributed to the serfs..." Simon said eloquently.

Mader listened carefully and finally asked: "Sir! In other words, we set up a market in the slave manor.

In this market, slaves are only allowed to trade with work points? And the goods are provided by us? "

"That's right! One more thing, we built the houses for the serfs to live in now, and we have to pay for them!

They definitely can't afford the one-time payment, so they can pay it back in installments and pay it off in twenty years.

As for how to set the price, you have to calculate it carefully, and don’t let them pay back too hard, nor be too relaxed.

Just pay attention to a combination of relaxation and relaxation. It is best to let the serfs eat some meat every month.

There may be a little bit of other meat in the territory, but there are enough fish tubes in the Qingshui River, and they are all dried into dried fish..."

Simon and Mader had a heated discussion and filled in some deficiencies.
