The Knight's Journey to the Empire

"What I am going to read out next is another important instruction given by the Baron at the meeting!" Adam held up the loudspeaker and continued to speak loudly to the people.

After hearing this, the leaders present, although they still had thousands of words to express in their hearts, tacitly chose to be quiet and listen attentively.

The current situation is that good news is coming one after another. Perhaps the next important instruction from the Lord will also be good news!

They don't want to miss this exciting and crucial moment!

"Everyone, the Baron has two more things to tell you about the future construction plan of the territory. I need to explain them to you in detail now!"

"The first is about the planning of new settlements in the territory: the Baron plans to build two new villages in the White Bear Territory. Two locations have been selected, one in the middle of the new road connecting Flanders Town and County Avenue, and the other at the fork in the road. The purpose of building new villages this time is mainly to facilitate the people in the territory to cultivate the newly opened farmland around these two places."

"Now what we need to do in government affairs is to collect the opinions of the citizens and count the number of families who want to move there."

"Let me tell you here that for families who voluntarily relocate there, the government office will provide some relocation subsidies and preferential policies!"

"The second is about the sanitation of the territory. In the next few days, the government office will recruit people to build several public toilets in the territory. The purpose of these public toilets is to allow everyone to urinate or dump feces and urine. From March 3th, the White Bear Territory will issue and implement the first lord ban: It is strictly forbidden to urinate or dump feces and urine anywhere in the territory's residential area or within a hundred meters around it."

"You must remember that this issue of sanitation is something that the Lord pays great attention to and arranges personally. No one can offend. In the future, if you want to urinate or dump waste, you can only go to the public toilet. Do you understand?"

"I understand!" Although everyone was confused, they still answered loudly.

"I'll emphasize once again that this lord's ban on urinating or dumping feces and urine in the territory's residential area or within a hundred meters of the surrounding area was signed by the Baron himself. Those who violate the ban will be fined; if they violate it multiple times and refuse to change, they will be punished with labor reform, which means they will be conscripted to do hard labor for free."

These contents will actually be posted publicly on the notice, but most of the people in the territory are illiterate.

Therefore, in order to facilitate their understanding and memory, Adam simply told them the importance of it.

For these illiterate subjects, only by speaking to their hearts can they truly implement your instructions.

Of course, if we punish them and make them feel the pain in their hearts, they will actually carry out the order.

But now, let’s explain it to them first!

Otherwise, the formulation of this policy may become a tool for others to make money or to frame others, thus losing its original meaning.

One of the people in the crowd raised his hand and asked loudly, "Master Adam, may I ask, if a family voluntarily moves to a new village, what relocation subsidies can the government provide?"

Adam thought for a moment and said, "First, for families who voluntarily move to the new village, the government office will give a cash reward. The amount of the reward is based on the standard of five silver coins per person, and the maximum can be up to one gold coin;"

"Then there is the preferential policy of low-interest loans. The government office will provide a low-interest loan for the relocated families to build new houses. The interest rate of this loan will be very low, and the repayment period will be relatively long, which will basically not cause any difficulties or impact on the lives of the newly relocated families;"

"Finally, there are some other subsidies, such as distributing some daily necessities or livestock and poultry, etc."

"In short, the sooner a family moves there, the more generous the reward will be. Because the amount and quantity of this subsidy will definitely be limited. If you delay it, there may be no more!"

"Then may I ask, Lord Adam, if I split up now and move there by myself, would this be considered a family?" a burly man suddenly asked.

There are seven people in his family, including three brothers. Now they all live in one house and have become a family that invades and hinders each other.

Now that all the brothers have grown up, we have long wanted to separate.

It's just because the family has no money to build a new house that the family has not been divided yet.

Now that the government has such good policy support, it is a good time to separate the family and live!

"Okay, but the head of the household must be a healthy adult male!" This was actually something everyone had discussed at yesterday's meeting, so Adam said it directly.

This is the situation of many families in White Bear Territory now.

Because of poverty, many families have several people living in a small house.

Some families even live with their livestock to protect themselves from thieves.

The living environment is worrying!

Therefore, Sauron launched this preferential policy of low-interest housing loan, the purpose of which is to facilitate their separation, house building and relocation.

"Excuse me, Lord Adam, if you are caught urinating or defecating in public or dumping feces and urine anywhere, how much will the fine be?" Another person raised his hand to ask a question.

"In order to allow the people to better implement this lord's ban, the minimum fine is two copper coins, but there is no upper limit!" At this point, Adam suddenly smiled slyly and said, "Moreover, the informant will get half of the fine."

Seeing that the eyes of some people in the audience suddenly began to roll around, Adam knew what they were thinking.

Some people are like this, always trying to take advantage of loopholes and get some small benefits or something!

But it doesn’t matter, all beings are different!

The key is a bottom line issue!

"Then may I ask Lord Adam, if we are conscripted to do hard labor for free, what will we be required to do in the end?" Another citizen continued to raise his hand to ask a question.

"If you are conscripted by the government office to do hard labor for free, then you will definitely be doing the hardest, most tiring, and dirtiest work in the territory. For example, you will be transporting the waste from the public toilets to the manure pit outside the town every day."

"Of course, the government office will have special officials to arrange the specific work every day, and it is mandatory. If any citizen dares to disobey, they will be deprived of their human rights, directly demoted to slavery, and all their property will be confiscated!" At the end, Adam's tone suddenly became very serious.

The scene, which was originally a little noisy, became quiet again when the tone of Lord Adam on the stage changed.

I think everyone took these words to heart.

Because being deprived of human rights and reduced to slavery is no joke.

The difference between subjects and slaves is the difference between people and goods.

In this slavery-based society, everyone knows that the essence of a slave is a commodity that can be traded.

"Do you have any other questions?" Adam continued shouting with the megaphone.

"Mr. Adam, if we want to move to these two new villages, when can we move there? And what is the difference between these two villages?" someone asked.

"The time for relocation has not been determined yet. We need to select the address of the new village and clean up the environment around the location before notifying you separately. However, you can sign up now during the census!"

"As for the difference between the two places, from the current point of view, there is no difference for the time being!"

Of course there are differences between the two places, the first of which is the degree of transportation convenience.

There is also a difference in development direction: one has the prospect of being a traditional agricultural and pastoral village; the other may develop into a small commercial town.

The contrast is very obvious. The village located at the fork in the road will definitely have better development prospects and more opportunities.

But Adam wouldn't say it.

It would be troublesome if all the residents who were willing to relocate chose to move to the village at the intersection.

As far as the current development status of White Bear Territory is concerned, everything is still based on stability, and we will slowly get on the track of development first.

Then another leader raised his hand and continued to ask a few questions that were not very important or relevant.

Seeing this, Adam quickly maintained the situation and began to announce the next policy.
