I picked up the dragon girl at the beginning and I used artillery fire to liberate the other world

In the evening, William returned from the fields, dragging his heavy body.

As a serf, he was labeled as lowly since birth, and his life could only be spent in constant labor for the lord. He was already 39 years old, and apart from this body, he still had no property of his own. Even the iron hoe he used to hoe the land was lent to him by the noble lords.

He habitually lay on the floor of the low stone house and sighed deeply. Sometimes he really wanted to do something he liked, but unfortunately, except for sleeping and eating, he could only spend his time in the cultivated fields.

"William, go to bed early today. This month is almost over, and we are a bit far from meeting our targets. If we can't finish the work tomorrow, you know, it will really hurt when the whip hits you!"

William's companion came and lay down beside him. They had just finished their meal and needed to rest, although it was still daylight.

William: "I know. It's all Oliver's fault. He is lazy every time he does the work. Otherwise, he would have finished it long ago."

"Yeah, we all know that, but that guy is tough. He would rather get beaten than do any more work."

William's already bad mood became even more depressed. As serfs, everyone was numb and seemed to be no longer like a human being.

He didn't want to think about anything else and was about to close his eyes and fall asleep, but at this moment a whistle suddenly sounded outside, which was the signal for them to gather.

His already depressed mood became even worse, but he could only get up and walk out.

If nothing unexpected happens, those noble lords should have some dirty work to assign to them.

"Everyone, gather at the square. Our new lord, the third prince of the Aixash Empire, His Highness Bai Yan, has something to say." The guard shouted so that his voice could be heard by every serf as much as possible.

At the same time, the free people were notified and went to the square not far south of the lord's castle.

Around five o'clock, Bai Yan stood on the high platform in the center of the square, looking at the dense crowd below, and picked up the magic crystal that had been prepared in advance and was cast with a sound amplification magic.

"Edward, is everyone here?"

"Your Highness, I don't know how many people there are in Black Iron Castle, but basically all of them are here."

Bai Yan nodded and said, "Tomorrow you will register the information of everyone in Black Iron Castle. Record their name, gender, age, occupation, and family relationship in detail."

Bai Yan is well aware of the importance of this, as it will make the governance and development of Black Iron Castle clearer.

"Yes, Your Highness." Edward nodded and then stepped aside.

Bai Yan cleared his throat and stood up from his seat on the platform:

"Good afternoon, my dear subjects. I am Bai Yan Roland, the third prince of the Exashus Empire, and your future lord.

I'm sorry to take up your time, because starting today, Black Iron Castle will make a big change, and it concerns each and every one of you. "

William, who was sitting in the audience, looked at the young and handsome prince on the stage, who was dressed in luxurious clothes, but his eyes were full of hidden annoyance.

There is no need to think too much. The so-called changes of the new lord must be another means to exploit them to the greatest extent. What's more, this is a down-and-out prince who is accustomed to a licentious life in the royal capital.

His eyes were fixed on Bai Yan on the stage, and his fists kept clenching and unclenching.

However, unlike him, most of the serfs still had empty eyes and stood there numbly. They just wanted Bai Yan's speech to end quickly so that they could go back and rest early for tomorrow's work.

As for the free people, they also didn't believe that anything good would happen, and the nobles never cared about them.

William continued to listen carefully to Bai Yan's speech on the stage:

“Although I know that your first impression of me may not be very good, thinking that I am a noble who is extremely licentious and oppresses the common people.

But what I want to say is that as your lord, I will definitely do my best to make everyone's life better and better in the future."

Having said this, there was still not much emotion in William and his subjects' eyes. This set of rhetoric was probably just rhetoric.

"Look, even if the Third Prince says something nice, the tax this year will definitely not be low. It's two-thirds! My family doesn't have any spare money left except for food every day."

"Oh, how could the nobles care about us? They wish we could put every copper coin into their own pockets."

"What can we do? They are nobles! That's how it should be."

Listening to the crowd's whispers, William became more convinced that the prince on the stage was just gathering them together to show off his vain presence.

At the same time, Bai Yan's voice was transmitted from the loudspeaker crystal to the dark crowd below the stage.

“But anyone can make big speeches, and I know that this won’t convince anyone.

Therefore, starting from today, Black Iron Castle will make changes. We will abolish all the absurd systems. The reformed Fury will benefit every corner of Black Iron Castle."

"My Lord! If what you say is true, does that include us slaves?"

William somehow suddenly used up all his strength and shouted this sentence out loud.

"How dare you, a slave, question His Royal Highness the Prince?" Minister Edward immediately shouted in the direction where William was standing.

At the same time, the people around William also distanced themselves from him. How could this slave be so bold? He would be beheaded.

William also knew that he had done a stupid thing. He regretted his momentary impulse and his body began to tremble with panic.

But before the guards rushed over, Bai Yan's voice rang out again: "This is a good question."

Thus, everything that the crowd expected to happen came to an abrupt halt at this moment, and the guards stopped and silently returned to their posts.

Why didn't His Royal Highness play by the rules? Normally, in this situation, the reckless man who contradicted and questioned would definitely be beheaded, but now it seems that His Royal Highness is not only not angry, but even a little happy?

Bai Yan was certainly not angry. He glanced at the serf with a few rags hanging from his waist and continued:

“Next, everything I said will be implemented in Black Iron Castle starting tomorrow.

First, every adult citizen of Black Iron Castle will be allocated a piece of land. You have the right to use it and can grow any crops on it. No matter how much you harvest, you only need to pay one-fifth of it. "

Just after Bai Yan said this first sentence, he felt the light in the eyes of the people below the stage. It was an incredible surprise.

They pricked up their ears and began to listen carefully to the voice that sounded like the words of God.

“Second, set up markets so that basic supplies are no longer distributed by lords and everyone can trade freely.

Third, reduce taxes and change the tax structure. People with a monthly income of no more than 50 copper coins will pay 10%, people with an income of 50 copper coins to 3 silver coins will pay 20%, and people with an income of more than 3 silver coins will pay 50%.

Fourth, it is my serfs. I declare that from today on, every month the eleven serfs with the best performance can be restored to the status of free people and be allocated a piece of land, until the last slave is restored to a free person.

The above is the content of this reform. If you have any opinions, you can tell my finance minister Edward, and he will convey them to me. "

After Bai Yan said all this, William felt as if he was dreaming. Probably the people of Black Iron Castle had the same thought as him.

When he came to his senses, he looked at the young and handsome figure on the stage and shouted, "Long live His Highness Bai Yan!"

The next moment, sounds like thunder drums came from all directions, and everyone was shouting long live Bai Yan. They began to be grateful that they were citizens of Black Iron Castle.

That night, everyone in Black Iron Castle was so excited that they couldn't sleep, and their prince was dragged by a greedy white-haired female dragon to busy himself in the kitchen.
