Lord Wants To Be An Emperor

“Families of the fallen martyrs, family members and children, this lord will take care of them until the child is grown up.”

Aslan finished speaking, he gave a list to Essen , Inside is a list of soldiers killed in battle.

Every time Essen reads one, he cries more. When the list is finished, the entire square is in a sad atmosphere. Aslan walks to the disabled soldiers, one after another comforting.

Aslan did not return to the podium until the smoke of cremation rose.

“The soldiers who died in battle each received ten Gold Coins and one acre of land! Disabled soldiers, one acre of land, and one Gold Coin for retirement.”

Aslan will be the last soldier After the compensation was finished, all the soldiers cheered.

What is the thing that soldiers fear most?

After their deaths, the young and old in the family will lose a stable source of income due to the loss of their family support, and eventually lead a life of displacement.

Although Aslan said that they would raise them, they still don’t want to bother Sir Lord too much. Sir Lord is too busy and there is no need to distract from this little thing.

But when this acre of land was divided, the last worry in their hearts disappeared.

Everyone can see how high the yield of stalks in Merlot town is. With this acre of land in hand, it is almost impossible for a family to starve to death.

“The next step is the confession meeting. This lord can do only these things. Welcome you home.”

Aslan calmed the fanatical soldiers, said with a smile.

City Lord Mansion’s civil servants began to guide people from various villages who came to recognize their relatives to their respective phalanx.

“The third child is really you, you are still alive, very good.”

Looking at the old younger brother reappearing in front of him, old John burst into tears.

“Big Brother!” The thin middle-aged man couldn’t help but hugged Old John and started crying.

Osborne held his mother with one hand, and held his teenage younger brother with one hand, some not knowing what to do.

Although the clothes on Old John are very old, they are very clean and tidy. The clothes on his two daughter-in-laws are bright and beautiful, and they are rich.

Compare myself again. I am still wearing the jacket of Jimmy’s town army. The straw sandals on my feet have broken a few holes, and my toes leak out.

Old John just asked his second son and two daughters-in-law to greet Third Uncle York, and his two sons have already arrived.

Seeing that his two sons are safe and sound, Old John couldn’t help but sighed in relief and said several good things.

“This is the Third Uncle I often tell you. Come over and say hello.”

George and Josh gave a salute respectfully.

In the Merlot army, in addition to daily training, they also have etiquette and culture classes.

Needless to say the so-called etiquette class, to Yu Wenhua class, in addition to teaching normal literacy, it is ideological and political education, referred to as brainwashing.

In fact, these courses are very successful. In addition to eliminating illiteracy, the soldiers are more loyal to Aslan, knowing etiquette and shame!

Know what they are fighting for. The battle strength and awareness they can show is naturally not comparable to ordinary troops.

“It is these two boys who give me strength. Now the better the day passes. You don’t have to worry about getting hungry in the future. You will be full after eating.” Old John said confidently.

York can only smile honestly. He can’t always live in his elder brother’s house forever, but the conditions in his elder brother’s house look very good, which makes him look forward to his future life.

It’s just that Osborne looked towards the two paternal male cousins, with a trace of envy and awe. Only those who have experienced the Battle of Meili River will know the horror of the Merlot Army.

At this moment, they are two well-behaved Juniors, standing quietly beside the elders listening to their conversation. Only Osborne knows how efficient and terrifying they are to kill people on the battlefield. .

Scenes like this are constantly being staged, some people are happy and some are worried.

Some family members are reunited, and some are separated.

But these have nothing to do with Aslan. He each minding their own business and returned to the City Lord Mansion, quietly watching the moonlight outside the window.

Suddenly increasing the population of so many people is not a simple thing, just a day or two is fine, a long time will cause many unnecessary social conflicts.

“Tell me what you think!”

In the office, not only Aslan came back secretly, but also Essen and Willson, two important officials in Merlot town.

“You must divert!” Willson resolute and decisive said.

“That’s right! Although most of the people and some villages are diverted, there are tens of thousands of people more. If you don’t handle it properly, it will cause mutiny.” Essen also added.

Aslan nodded, turn around and stand in front of the big map of Merlot area.

For a long time, he pointed to two places and said: “Build two more towns here, and at the same time move some people to Meiyang Fortress and Stone Fortress.”

The locations of the two new towns on the map, one near Lake Belial, the largest in the Merlot area, is understandable, and the other is beyond their comprehension.

It’s completely in a barren mountain.

Aslan can’t say that the underground there contains the largest underground salt mine in the Kingdom of Cleveland, because he can’t explain it himself, but it’s true that there is a small salt mine on the surface.

The edible salt in this World is mainly based on salt mines. The so-called sun-dried salt on the sea has not yet appeared. As for whether there is iodine and so on, Aslan doesn’t care, because his previous lives have not been at all in several decades. All found patients with goiter caused by iodine deficiency.

He plans to use this salt mine to tie up with the Billy area. As long as the Marquis of Medea gets on his thief ship, he can then mine the various mineral deposits underground in the Merlot area.

“I found a small salt mine there.” Aslan mysterious said.

When Essen and Willson heard this, their faces became serious.

Don’t look at the town of Merlot, which now has a population of only 100,000, but the population of Merlot is definitely not less than 500,000 or even more. This can be judged from the monthly sales of salt in Merlot. .

Salt is one of the essential elements that the human body needs in daily life, and it is indispensable.

That’s why the Kingdom of Cleveland firmly holds the salt mine in its hands and obtains high profits from it.

Salt and iron alone account for 40% of fiscal revenue every year.

Part of the reason for the rebellion in the Gorland Plateau was the discovery of an unprecedented huge salt mine on the plateau. In order to ensure the stability of the salt administration, the kingdom completely detonated the hidden contradictions between the two sides until now.

“Sir Lord! It is illegal to mine salt and iron without permission.” Willson said with a gloomy face.

Essen agrees very much with nodded, the expression on his face is not much better than Willson.

There is a large amount of money hidden in the basement of the house. Because it is stolen money, it can only be seen and cannot be used. However, I am so poor that I am too poor to eat and drink.
