And no one ever said they were citizens of this country.
In the eyes of the world, they are dispensable commodities that can be traded and trampled upon.
Even his wife's first night rights belong to the nobles in the territory, not to him.
But this lord, what he said just now was so serious that they had to believe it.
"My lord, is it appropriate to say so well?"
Baron Sanji squinted his eyes at Deputy Base Chief Qiu on the balcony.
At present, there are only a few dozen people in the garrison in Fort Vording, but there are hundreds of people brought here.
He said this to threaten Deputy Base Chief Qiu.
"The Dragon Kingdom of the Foreign World protects the personal safety and property safety of all residents in the territory. As long as these slaves are still in the Dragon Kingdom for a day, they are legal residents of the Dragon Kingdom."
"As for you? At present, you are also residents of the territory, but don't cross the line, or you will be severely punished."
After hearing Deputy Qiu's long words, the nobles didn't know what to do.
Neither soft nor hard.
It is possible to get rid of this lord here, but I am afraid that he will also be retaliated by the Dragon Kingdom.
This lord actually didn't take his own life and death seriously. He didn't know how to enjoy such a good position and rights.
"My lord, you just said to protect the property and personal safety of everyone in the territory, right?" Baron Sanji asked.
"That's right, as long as you are still a resident of the Dragon Kingdom."
"Then my lord, my slaves were my private property before you came, and now you directly issue a law to abolish it, so who will guarantee my property?"
"Or, your property protection is just empty talk?"
After Baron Sanji finished speaking, all the nobles started booing.
"That's right, my lord, my slave property is also property."
"The lord will not only protect the slaves, regardless of the life and death of our nobles?"
"Or is it that the lord has an ulterior relationship with the slaves?"
Everyone laughed out loud after speaking, as for the ulterior relationship.
I understand everything I understand.
Deputy Base Chief Qiu was not angry when he heard it, and said calmly, "I'll give you a week."
"Within one week, submit all the slave contracts on your body to the census department, and we, Dragon Kingdom, will pay you twice the market price as compensation."
"Double!!"
All the nobles looked at me and I looked at you, with shocked expressions on their faces.
If it costs 10000 dinars to buy a slave, then you can get 20000 for yourself.
This seems to be good too.
"Lord-sama is really generous, but what if I refuse?" Sanji-sama said slowly.
Submitting the deed of sale can indeed get a lot of money at one time.
What about after that?
If slavery was really abolished in the Long Kingdom of the Other World, what would happen to his own manor orchard?
When there are no slaves, don't you have to grow it yourself?
Don't even think about it, it's impossible.
So this money can't be asked for.
The nobles quickly thought of this, and the excitement on their faces disappeared.
They all looked at Deputy Base Chief Qiu, expecting his answer.
"If a week later, there is still a deed of sale that has not been submitted."
"Then I will be you, and I don't want compensation."
Deputy Base Qiu sneered after speaking, and walked into Fort Vording.
The soldiers of the Dragon Kingdom in Fort Vordin were on guard carefully, and would immediately counterattack if something went wrong.
When the nobles saw that Deputy Base Chief Qiu had left, they knew that there was no way to negotiate.
Right now, he can only turn his gaze to Baron Sanji who is aside.
"Baron Sanji, what should we do?"
"Yeah, this lord doesn't seem to be joking."
"Then should we submit the deed of sale? If we don't submit it, will it be a blank sheet of paper in the future?"
Baron Sanji waved his hand and didn't care.
"No need to submit, I don't believe that this lord dares to go against the thousands of years of tradition on this land."
Everyone nodded after listening.
"Come here, I will tell you something."
"What's the matter?"
"That is……"
All the nobles gathered together, and after listening to Baron Sanji's words, everyone's brows relaxed.
"You can really try it."
"It's still Sanji-sama who is smart, I will definitely cooperate with you."
the next day.
Hugh came to Zhao Wu's office early in the morning.
"Hugh? Why are you here so early?"
"My lord, something is wrong."
Xio wiped the sweat from his brow, this time he encountered a big crisis, which could easily destroy a country.
"Don't panic, there is a solution to everything."
"My lord, why are you still so leisurely? Those nobles have already controlled all the food in the market, and the price has tripled."
The nobles in the Dragon Kingdom of the Other World controlled most of the cultivated land, and they had a lot of food in their hands.
Therefore, the general lord will not conflict with the local nobles.
It's a thankless way to do it.
But now, these nobles obviously want to use this method to persecute them.
The increase in food prices will inevitably cause panic, and it will be out of control at that time.
"I didn't expect these nobles to use this method."
Zhao Wu sneered, fighting a food war?He really wasn't afraid.
"My lord, when is this, are you still laughing?!"
"If the price of food remains so high, it will definitely cause great dissatisfaction, and those residents who can't survive will definitely do various things."
Hugh's concerns are justified.
Food is the guarantee of survival, and there are few price fluctuations, but this time the price was directly increased by three times.
Many people can no longer afford to eat, and there will be chaos at that time.
"My lord, what should we do?"
[66.Chapter 66 enacts new patriarchal law]
"Hugh, how many food stores are there in the Long Kingdom of the Other World?" Zhao Wu asked.
"There are 183 shops that directly sell grain, but there are still many bakeries and other shops that rely on grain stores to survive."
"If the price of food goes up, then these food stores will also go up in price."
"Very well, I will ask you to send someone to open a temporary grain selling point next to each grain store, and the price will still be the same as before."
Xio was taken aback for a moment, this method is indeed feasible, but it is not a long-term solution.
First, the stock of Lord Lords may not be able to support the people of the entire Dragon Kingdom.
Secondly, those nobles will definitely make trouble.
At that time, the cheap food on my side will definitely be bought by the nobles, and then sold at a high price.
This method can only be used for a while, but in the end it is still the same.
Zhao Wu seemed to see through Xio's thoughts, and continued: "There is a condition for this sale, that is, each person can buy one day's worth of food with an ID card every day, and the purchase must be registered in the register."
“It would also facilitate the identity registration system.”
Xio nodded, this can indeed solve part of the idea of hoarding grain.
At that time, even if the nobles make trouble, they will not be able to cause much trouble.
Each person can only buy one copy per day, and no one will use this for reselling.
However, the food stock is still a problem, whether the lord's food can support it.
"Okay, Hugh, you go down."
"Yes, my lord."
After taking a break, I began to prepare for the temporary sale location.
As for the food, it was Zhao Wu who ordered the soldiers in the Longguo base to bring it over.
