Buying People's Hearts, Shocked Farmer!
The farmers exclaimed.
They couldn't imagine how Wang Luo had killed so many ferocious bandits. Moreover, there were two powerful Fort Masters among the bandits.
However…
No one doubted it.
The heads of the three Fort Masters were right under his feet.
As for the new Fort Master in front of them…Just the aura that he emitted made them feel fear, tremble, and unable to breathe!
The farmer was silent.
Silence meant consent.
To these farmers, they did not care who killed the mountain bandits in Black Wind Mountain, who occupied Black Wind Mountain, and who became the new Fort Master.
They only cared about whether they would be abused.
They were only concerned about whether this new Fort Master would leave them enough food to fill their stomachs and survive smoothly.
The farmers 'reaction was within Wang Luo's expectations.
After waiting for a moment, he continued,""Since no one objects, I will be the new Fort Master of Black Wind Mountain. You…will be my subjects!”
Yes, it was.
Without the consent of these farmers, Wang Luo directly made them his subjects.
In reality.
Wang Luo thought about it for half the night last night.
In the beginning, he was thinking about how to appease these farmers and let them continue to stay in Black Wind Mountain to farm for him while recruiting new mountain bandits. If there were any who were unwilling to stay…
He would just give them a symbolic dismissal fee and let them leave on their own.
No matter how he thought about it, he could not think of a way to appease these farmers so that they would willingly stay in the village and continue farming.
But later, Wang Luo understood.
He was a mountain bandit!
It was the new Fort Master of Black Wind Mountain!
Why did he ask for the permission of these farmers?
He had killed all the bandits of Black Wind Mountain and became the new lord of Black Wind Mountain…Wasn't it logical for him to take over the ruling rights of these people?
Pacifying or dismissing the farmers was something that only the officials or kind-hearted players would do.
If he did that…
It didn't match his identity as a mountain bandit!
Therefore…
That was how everything above came about.
The farmers 'reactions were just as he had guessed. They all looked as if it was a matter of course.
They would be nervous. They would be nervous if the new Fort Master would mistreat them.
They would be worried that their rations, which were already insufficient to fill their stomachs, would be further deducted.
There was no doubt.
Very good.
Nodding silently in his heart, Wang Luo continued,""Next, I have a few things to announce.”
"First, everyone should farm and work hard. As long as you behave yourself, no one will punish you. And no one will treat you as a punching bag, beating, scolding, and killing you at will!”
When the first thing was announced, almost all the farmers were pleasantly surprised.
One had to know.
Every year, the number of farmers in Black Wind Mountain who died from the beating, scolding, and abuse of the mountain bandits was not a small number.
If it weren't for the mountain bandits who often plundered the mountains and captured new farmers, the farmers in the village would have died long ago!
Just the first thing that Wang Luo announced made these farmers feel as if their hard days had finally come to an end!
He was very satisfied with the farmers 'reactions.
" Second," Wang Luo continued after a slight pause," from now on, one-third of the grain harvested from all farmlands will be handed over to the village as tax. As for the rest…you can keep them for yourselves.”
Boom!
The farmers exploded!
When the first thing was announced, they were forced by Wang Luo's dignity. Even if they were happy, they did not dare to make a sound. They could only express their joy through their expressions.
When the second matter was announced…
They couldn't take it anymore!
It was as if they had heard extremely shocking news. Even though Wang Luo was still standing there and the heads of the three former Fort Masters were still lying on the ground, they could not help but start whispering.
The farmers were shocked.
What shocked them was not that they paid too much food, but that they paid too little!
In the past, the farmers were slaves of Black Wind Mountain.
Not only were the farmlands in the basin the wealth of Black Wind Mountain, but they were also the wealth of Black Wind Mountain.
During the harvest season, most of their hard work would be taken away by the village, leaving only the necessary rations. Sometimes, even the necessary rations would be deducted by the stronghold.
It was nothing if he couldn't fill his stomach for a day.
If they could not fill their stomachs for many years, they would end up like the farmers in front of them, emaciated and naked, so weak that they would die at any moment!
And now?
As long as they handed over one-third of the food, the rest would be theirs!
"Chief…"
"Are…are you telling the truth? You didn't lie to us?"
After a long time, a white-haired old man stepped forward and asked in a slightly trembling voice.
Following his words, the farmers also quieted down. All of them stared at Wang Luo with hope and anticipation in their eyes, afraid that what they had just heard was just an illusion.
"Of course."
Wang Luo was a little angry." My words carry weight," he said angrily." Why would I joke with you bumpkins?"”
One sentence.
Wang Luo's anger didn't scare the farmers.
On the contrary.
When he confirmed the authenticity of his words again, the old man who stood up had tears streaming down his face. Most of the farmers were in disbelief, and a few more courageous farmers cheered!
"Chieftain…Long live Chieftain!"
"Chief, you're a good person!"
" Fort Master, you can't lie to us…"
“……”
Seeing the farmers 'reaction, Wang Luo smiled.
He had already thought about it.
As slaves of the village, these farmers had lived a hellish life in the past.
Not to mention leaving behind food, even the food needed for survival was difficult to guarantee.
As a mountain bandit, as the new chief of Black Wind Mountain, as the new lord of Black Wind Mountain, he was unwilling to let these farmers leave.
Since that was the case, he would make an issue out of the grain and make these farmers return to the village!
One hit, one sweet date.
Wang Luo didn't know how much the imperial court was taxing the farmland. He only knew that he should at least relax a little so that these farmers would have enough food to survive and even have a surplus…
It would greatly increase the favorability of these farmers towards the village and allow them to continue staying here!
Grain three times, tax one.
In Wang Luo's understanding, this was already extremely harsh.
Now it seemed like…
The effect was far beyond his expectations!
