The last 2000 yuan

"There is something I haven't told you yet." Perennial was ready to accept a lot of resistance before opening his mouth.

The people in Hongshu Village thought it was something worse, and all looked up at him nervously.

Perennial: "Recently, Adventure City has a magic school and a warrior school to recruit students. I was successfully admitted to the magic school, and Tie Buping was successfully admitted to the warrior school."

Everyone was stunned and didn't react for a moment.

Tie Buping puffed out his chest, it was really hard for him to keep calm at his age.

"Ah! All the gods!" Tie Sanniang screamed suddenly, and hugged her son, "I'm not fair, have you been admitted to the Warrior School? You have been admitted to the Extraordinary School? Is this true?!"

Tie Buping suppressed his joy, pursed his lips, and nodded.

Tie Sanniang hugged her son, crying with joy.

Third Brother Tie and Sister Tie and Sister Tie also came to their senses at this moment, they all gathered around and yelled and yelled, going crazy with joy.

The original Tie family villagers roared with excitement.

Even the people in Hongshu Village showed smiling faces, which is a great thing!Finally, there is someone in their Vegetable Race who can take a step up!

"Quiet! The matter is not finished yet." Tie Buping shouted, putting his arms around his mother and looking at Niannian.

Perennial smiled at the young man, and continued: "In order to win over me, the Principality of Anlie gave me the title of first-class viscount. The north is from Huluzui of Nanka Lake, the south is to the Moon Valley in the forest on the south bank, and the east is from Broken Wind Mountain. , The land from the west to the Demon Rhinoceros Swamp is all designated as my territory, in other words, Tiejia Village, Hongshu Village and several vegetable villages are all within my territory."

Everyone was dumbfounded again. What they saw in front of them was not only a magician, but also a sealed nobleman!

What kind of title did the businessman say about the nobility behind them?It seems to be just a third-class viscount?

The head of Hongshu Village, who has done business with outsiders, knows a little bit about the division of titles in the Principality of Anlie. It seems that the first-class viscount is two levels higher than the third-class viscount?

The village head of Hongshu panicked, and asked tremblingly, "Master Chang... No, no, Sir, do you want us to move away?"

The head of Hongshu Village was about to cry, and the surrounding residents of Hongshu Village and Yuan Tiejia Village also showed expressions of panic and panic, and some people showed expressions of pleading to Niannian.

Before Niannian could speak, the village head of Hongshu plopped down on Niannian, weeping and pleading: "My lord, please, don't drive us away, we can be your tenants, no, we can be your tenants." Your slave, as long as you let us continue to live here, there will be no other place for us to go if we leave here, and if we are caught, everyone will be beaten into slaves, and we will all be scattered, my lord, please!"

Perennial shock.Not resist?Not angry?Instead, they begged, and even would rather be reduced to tenants or even slaves?

At this moment, he was always angry with the vegetable people, but it didn't take long for him to understand why the people of Hongshu Village begged him so much.

When he went back to Adventure City to make a register of civilians in the territory and handed it over to the Principality as tax evidence, the officials in charge of related affairs, after seeing the list on the register, asked him in amazement why he also counted the vegetable tribe as civilian.

After years of detailed inquiries, I found out that there are several villages of the vegetable people living near Nanka Lake, but all the places where the vegetable people live do not belong to the vegetable people.Just like the fief he got originally belonged to the Grand Duke of the Principality of Anlie, and if it was granted to him, it belonged to him. No matter how long the vegetable tribe lived on this land, it was illegal to borrow it.

And the owner of the land has the right to expel all the peasants and tenants living on the land. At the same time, according to the agreed rules, all the peasants found can be captured at will, and they can be regarded as their own slaves after being caught.

The intelligent race of the noncai people can keep property other than land and take it away with them, or they can leave it to the new lord as a tenant and become a person with an official status.

Let the vegetable be a commoner?Nothing!

The vegetable people in Luoxia Village are not really common people, they can only be regarded as people without status. In fact, they are slaves of Peng Yuan's family.It's just that Peng Yuan's family gave them a so-called civilian status in order not to let them resist too much.

However, the population registration of Luoxia Village is done separately, and Peng Yuan's family did not really report the vegetables in Luoxia Village as civilians.

Reporting the people in Hongshu Village and Tiejia Village as civilians all the year round, I almost laughed off the big teeth of the relevant officials. The official couldn't help pointing out this first-class viscount who is valued by the Grand Duke—a gift for you Slave, you still report as a commoner, do you think you will pay too little tax in the future?

Yes, slaves do not pay taxes.Everything created by slaves is not taxed.

Aristocrats need to pay taxes to the country. In addition to commercial taxes, there is only poll tax, and poll tax is calculated according to common people. This common people does not include people with noble status.

Therefore, in order to reduce taxes, the nobles especially like to turn civilians into slaves.

In the vast majority of the Abandoned Continent, commoners do not have their own land. They are all tenant farmers and need to lease the land of the lords to cultivate. A part of the poll tax is paid, and [-]% can be kept for oneself in the end, which can be regarded as the local lord's kindness to the people.

However, commoners can open up wasteland, fish and hunt, and work. Generally, the lords hope that their leaders will be diligent in opening up wasteland, and will give some preferential treatment for opening up wasteland, such as no need to pay rental fees for the first three years.And the money that the common people can earn belongs to themselves. A little hardworking commoner and a less demanding lord can live well.

But slaves are completely different. They have no salary, no power, and are not allowed to have any private property. Some can only pay until they die.

Summing up all the years, if there are no ordinary people in his territory, only the vegetable people, then no matter how much farmland or mines the vegetable people have cultivated for him, and how much wealth they have created for him, as long as he does not conduct external transactions, he will be worth a copper coin. There is no need to pay taxes.

However, as a lord, he can hold in his own hands the wealth created by all the vegetables in the entire territory.He can also use the vegetable people to death, because the vegetable people are all slaves, even if they are all tortured and killed, no one will care.

These also explain why the people of Hongshu Village, who are familiar with the outside world, are so afraid of expelling them all the year round, and they can't be hardened.

Even though they have lived in the land for countless generations and operated it for many years, half a grain of soil does not belong to them.

In the past, no one took care of them, and they could still pretend that this was their home and their land, but when the real lord came, their "dream" was shattered.

To become a slave to the new lord, or to be banished as a vagabond in hiding?

The people from Hongshu Village and the original Tiejia Village chose the former. They felt that Lord Chang, who was good to Tie Buping and allowed Tie Buping to be admitted to the Warrior School, would not be a too harsh master.

There is nothing he can do about facing a bunch of vegetables who are rushing to be his slaves all year round.

At this time, tell them that personal freedom is more important than anything else, and they can cry and beg you in fear, fearing that you will drive them away.

For the vegetable people, how can freedom be as important as a stable life, food and clothing?

"Just be our boss. I know you are also a disheveled person. It is better for a disheveled person to be a slave to a disheveled person than to toss others." Tie Buping looked at the toes all year round, and he also showed a kind of taking advantage of bad people. The cheap and relieved look said: "It's a good thing they don't know. They wanted to trample all of us vegetables, but in the end they appointed a vegetable as their nobleman, hey!"

Rubbing the boy's head all the year round, "This is our secret, we can't tell it until we are not strong enough."

"This must not be said!" The boy looked serious, and warned Niannian: "In the future, if you want someone to wait for you, you can find me. I will wash your feet and put socks on for you. Don't let other people get close to you. Don't either."

Perennial: "...OK, I'm only looking for you."

Tie Buping turned around and back again, tugging at his clothes, "You know how to wash your feet, right?"

Perennial: "...you say again, I will not only ask you to wash my feet, but also let you perform the duties of a slave wife."

Tie Buping originally wanted to tell Niannian that before Wanchang asked him to wash his feet, he poured the footwashing water directly on the opponent's head. They didn't even mention washing his feet, even if he didn't dare to use the water for washing his feet.

But he looked at Master Chang's expression, and he always felt that this man might not let him wash his feet, but would probably do other weird things to him, such as pinching his already muscular belly.

I just want to be rubbed and don't want to be pinched, so I don't want to be pinched, so I come back at night to keep vigil all year round.

Opening the door in the middle of the night all the year round, seeing the clown sleeping outside his door, shaking his head, picking him up, carrying him into the room and putting him on the bed.

Tie Buping was very vigilant, and he woke up before he was picked up, but he didn't move when he saw that it was a perennial.

Carrying him up and putting him on the bed all the year round, he rolled around, stuck to the side to make more than half of the bed, and then fell back asleep with the quilt in his arms.Lord Chang said that staying at the door is worse than staying by his side, it is better to deal with emergencies, Tie Buping thinks it makes sense.

I consider myself mentally normal all the year round, and I don't think there should be any problem with two men sleeping on the same bed, so I just sleep on the other side "in a big way".

Xuanhuang and Snake followed in, Xuanhuang didn't expect to get a place on the bed, so he lay obediently under the bed.

The snake didn't know when the relationship with Xuanhuang became better, and it even wrapped itself around Xuanhuang's stomach, and Xuanhuang didn't even drive it away.

On the contrary, seeing a snake coiled around Xuanhuang's stomach all the year round, he decided not to get down from this side again tonight, he would rather turn over from Tie Buping's side.

Regarding the registration, after being kindly instructed by the officials, the register that was handed over to the principality was taken back all year round, and a new one was replaced. There was only one owner's name on it, and none of the other civilians.In addition, there is a slave's name following the perennial name, and the identity of the slave wife is also specially noted.

Perennial also wanted to explain the origin of the slave wife Tie Buping, and brought the population register of Luoxia Village with her.

But the official didn't even look at the population register, he's just a dishonest person, so what's the story behind it?

Snapped!The official raised his seal and stamped a big stamp on the population register of the new territory, and since then his status as a perennial and unyielding person has also been settled.

Originally, there were two loopholes in the separation of Perennial and Songye's identities.

One loophole is that Iron Inequality Slave knows that Perennial and Matsuba are one person.

The other is the population register of Luoxia Village, because it registered the transfer of slaves to Chang Nian, and the certifier was Lao Peng.If according to Perennial, he met Songye outside Luoxia Mountain, and Songye transferred the register and slaves to him, then the dead Lao Peng could not be a witness.

Regarding the first loophole, as long as the slaves still think about it, it is impossible to sell them all year round.And even if someone betrayed him for a long time, it would be difficult to use the words of a vegetable slave as evidence.

For the second vulnerability, it has now been completely resolved.

After returning home all the year round, the population register of Luoxia Village was completely burned, and even the ashes were wiped out.

The original stub disappears.Since then, no one knows whether Lao Peng directly transferred the person to Niannian, or Songye transferred him to Niannian.In short, if anyone checks now, Tie Buping belongs to perennial, and perennial has never appeared in Luoxia Village.

On the other side, they have made new population registrations in their own territory all year round.

In the eyes of outsiders, the population of Hongshu Village, Tiejia Village and several other Cairen Villages will become perennial slaves. In fact, they enjoy the status of common people and better treatment than common people outside.
