System: Build My Own Territory-Chapter 659 - 236: Usurpation (10,000 Words) (Part 2)
"During pregnancy and after childbirth, your wives do not need to work and can enjoy the same food!"
"Your children are exempt from any physical labor until they reach adulthood."
"They can even go to school for a systematic education."
"Learning to read and write, just like the noble children learning the Seven Skills of the Knight."
"If you fall ill, there is a dedicated hospital on the territory to provide you with treatment."
"Of course, treatment at the territory’s hospital is free!"
Upon hearing this,
the faces of the townspeople began to flush red.
Their chests moved rapidly, and their breathing became rapid.
This Lord spoke neither too fast nor too slow, not even shouting particularly loudly,
so that everyone could hear.
Even though the words were not loud, they were clearly and precisely transmitted to every person’s ears.
Because what the Lord said was exactly what they most wanted to hear and most urgently needed.
Food, shelter, offspring, education, healthcare...
Before coming to this land, they were merely peasants!
They couldn’t even meet their most basic need for food.
How could they possibly dream of other living conditions?
But now, having come to this land,
this young Lord clearly informed them that they could have all of this!
How could they not be excited, not ecstatic?
Seeing the flushed, eager expressions of the peasants, Lynn smiled slightly.
He continued, "Not only that."
"After assigning you to your tasks and beginning your labor, you will all earn military merit!"
Military merit?
The peasants heard this unfamiliar term and instinctively glanced at each other.
Their eyes full of confusion.
"A hundred points of military merit can be exchanged for an acre of land!"
"An acre of private land belonging to you!"
Wow!
As soon as Lynn’s words fell,
a collective gasp echoed throughout the Lord’s Square and even the entire town.
They could no longer contain their shock and began to discuss it like a rumble.
"Land? Did I hear wrong?"
"Did the Lord really say that we can have our own land?"
"Is this true? Why do I feel like I’m in a dream?"
"That’s right! I can testify, none of you heard wrong, the Lord really said it, we can obtain land!"
"And it will be our own private land!"
"Oh God, have you heard my prayers?"
"God? God wouldn’t care if you live or die!"
"If there really were a God, how did your child starve to death?"
"If all this is true, just as the Lord said, coming to this land is the greatest fortune of our lives!"
"..."
Lynn remained standing on the platform.
His gaze swept over the peasants.
Watching their joyful and excited expressions.
Listening to their incredulous words.
On his territory,
it’s no longer just about providing three meals a day to the townspeople, satisfying their normal food needs.
It also includes healthcare, education, and living and entertainment!
In his speech, he didn’t exaggerate at all.
He simply described objectively and accurately the treatments the townspeople already had on the territory.
Just doing this.
It already plunged these slaves into a beautiful expectation for their future lives.
Thinking about it again,
Lynn felt it was very normal.
Whether it’s healthcare or education, or land,
they have always been the possessions of the Lord Nobility or the Church!
Free People and peasants do not have the right to own land!
Seeing the loyalty of these peasants rapidly increase, Lynn felt satisfied.
This is exactly the effect he wanted.
Informing the peasants of the benefits of this land, making them hopeful, to choose to settle down and stay.
To contribute to the development of this land!
Rather than thinking day after day about how to escape the oppression and exploitation of the Lord.
Or to stir up and resist the Lord!
After letting the atmosphere ferment among the peasants for a few minutes,
Lynn raised his right hand.
There was no need for him to ask Red to arrange for guards to quiet the peasants.
Upon seeing his gesture, the peasants immediately understood and all closed their mouths.
They understood that their Lord had more to announce.
Seeing the Lord offering such generous benefits, naturally, they had to reciprocate with respect.
Lynn nodded in satisfaction and continued, "Before assigning you to specific tasks, there is something you need to do yourselves."
The townspeople looked at Lynn with wide eyes, waiting for what would come next.
"The red brick houses in the town used for living cannot accommodate all of you."
"Therefore, I need to assign you tasks to construct more red brick houses behind the residential area."
"Construction of your own red brick houses!"
"Any problems?"
As his voice fell,
Lynn scanned the crowd, waiting for their response.
The next moment,
a unanimous response echoed in the Lord’s Square.
"No problem!"
"No problem! No problem!"
"..."
Subsequently,
Lynn began assigning tasks to the 6,200 peasants.
The first batch of eight hundred people was responsible for transporting raw materials.
They would use draft horses and two-wheeled carts to transport red bricks, logs, lime, river sand, and other construction materials.
The red brick roads laid in the town were used exclusively for transporting raw materials, speeding up the speed and efficiency of transportation.
