Knight's Infinite Journey - Chapter 182 Production
The situation in Birch Village was quickly cleared up.
People here mainly make a living by growing food, and occasionally sell some small commodities to passing merchants as extra money.
Of course, the main reward is robbery.
Yes, it’s robbery.
Yadimu was also surprised when he knew this.
He had thought that only the bandits would rob, but he didn’t expect that this group of villagers would do the same.
But if this is the case, then the treatment of these people does not matter.
After all, this group of people cannot be regarded as kind people.
Yadimu led people to inspect the area.
The conditions here are quite good. Not far away is an open plain. If cultivated carefully, tens of thousands of acres of good fields can be cultivated.
The reason why it was not fully developed in the past was simply due to the lack of manpower and the bandit group entrenched here.
Of course, the opportunities brought by business travel in the past cannot be ignored.
After all, who would be willing to farm honestly if they could rob?
In this atmosphere, those who were originally down-to-earth and responsible were gradually being coerced and became difficult to get ahead.
But now it’s Yadimu’s turn, and the rules are different.
“Gather the people nearby for me.”
Yadimu looked at the surrounding terrain and felt quite satisfied with the appearance of this area.
He then gathered the surviving people here, confiscated the fields they had passed, and then redistributed them.
“Divide the fields?”
When the people around heard the news, they were all shocked.
Although there are many fields that can be cultivated nearby, in this era, if you want to cultivate one acre of land, you need to pay a huge price.
Although there are no lords in the entire Birch Village, most of the people don’t have much land.
Most of the cultivated land was in the hands of a few chiefs.
Of course, by now, all these leaders are gone, killed by Yadimu on the spot.
Before announcing the land distribution, Yadimu killed the previous village chief in front of all the villagers.
“good.”
Facing the shocked and disbelieving looks of the people around him, Yadimu nodded lightly: “These fields will be allocated to you for farming in the future. You only need to pay part of the land rent.”
Because the land is vast and sparsely populated, and the farming technology is backward, the standard for allocating the land this time is fifty acres per person, regardless of gender, as long as they are adults.
The entire Huamu Village has about a thousand people, and excluding underage children, there are about seven or eight hundred people.
This is three to four thousand acres of land allocated.
But even so, Yadimu still had a lot left on hand.
It can be used as a reward to others later.
Of course, the allocated fields are not all cultivated land, but will be mixed with some uncultivated land.
This is to bring out the supervisory efficiency of these people.
As long as these fields are their own, these uncultivated areas can always turn into fertile farmland in the future.
And fields are fundamental to people of this era.
With fields, these people will settle down and obey command and management.
“Can’t divide!”
From behind, a voice suddenly came.
A young man rushed out of the crowd and stopped the people below: “No one can touch these fields!”
“Who is this?”
Yadimu looked at this man with a calm expression on his face.
“This is the village chief’s son.”
Someone on the side quickly gave an answer.
Grete and others noticed that with the appearance of this man, the people around him quickly became silent.
They looked at the young man instinctively and did not dare to say a word.
The former village chief’s prestige among the villagers here is evident.
“Coton.”
Yadimu’s voice suddenly sounded: “Kill.”
“yes.”
Cotton stepped forward with a grin and held the man down.
“What do you want to do? No!”
In front of the sight of all the villagers, he held the young man down and cut off his head with a knife.
A bloody human head fell to the ground, rolling around like a ball, with a ferocious expression on its face, which looked particularly ugly.
“Who else has an opinion?”
Yadimu looked forward with interest: “While I’m still here, stand up quickly.”
“I’m in a hurry.”
The people around him stopped talking and just looked at Yadimu with fearful eyes.
“You’re not talking anymore, are you?”
Yadimu sighed: “Then let me do it.”
“The former village chief and sheriff, and anyone related to them, please come forward on your own initiative.”
He rode his horse and looked at the crowd of heads in front of him and said calmly: “Stand up now and I promise not to pursue anything.”
There was silence all around.
No one said anything at all.
This is normal.
People seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. Seeing the village chief’s child end up like that, he naturally didn’t dare to come out again.
Who knows what will happen if you come forward?
Ten seconds passed quietly, and there was still silence all around.
Yadimu sighed: “It seems that none of you are willing to cooperate.”
“Then let me put it another way.”
“From now on, you are free to name anyone who is related to the former village chief and the Sheriff.”
“Every time you point out one, you can get these things.”
He pointed to the side.
A whole bag of wheat had been piled up there, and it looked like it weighed at least dozens of kilograms.
This is a big temptation for ordinary villagers living in poverty.
What’s more important is what Yadimu said next.
“If less than ten people are identified within three minutes, then one person from each family will be randomly selected to die for them.”
Indifferent and calm words fell.
The expressions of people everywhere suddenly changed.
Aaliya raised her head and looked at Yadimu in shock.
At this moment, she suddenly felt that the other person was a little strange.
Could such a cruel order be spoken so easily?
She couldn’t believe it.
But cruelty is cruelty, and the effect is indeed very effective.
No one doubted whether Yadimu dared to take action.
The head from before was still lying on the ground, and the pair of eyes full of hatred were still open there.
So soon, they took action.
This is how people are, no one wants to come forward when the matter has nothing to do with them, but once it involves themselves, the situation is different.
“He was the Sheriff’s lover and I saw them having sex!”
“This is the village chief’s illegitimate son.”
“And he was once the village chief’s subordinate and helped the village chief do many bad things.”
One voice sounded.
Everyone rushed to speak, for fear that they wouldn’t be able to gather the number of ten people.
After all, if there are not ten people together, the knife will hit them themselves.
When weapons are added to the body, no one will remain indifferent.
Sai Luo walked in front of him and counted them one by one.
As for Cotton, he led his old brothers there to arrest people and tie them up one by one.
The enthusiasm of the crowd was too enthusiastic, so Yadimu soon discovered that the number of people had already exceeded ten.
Not only were there more than ten, but there were more than thirty or forty after careful calculation.
People’s enthusiasm for survival is huge.
Of course, there is also the idea of breaking the jar and going straight to the end.
After all, by now, they must have offended this group of people. In this case, it is better to offend them directly.
Otherwise, if they are allowed to continue to live, God knows how they will be retaliated against in the future.
With this idea in mind, their actions became more and more active.
At the end, even the irrelevant relationship of having visited the village chief’s house and begging for food in the past was revealed, leaving Sai Luo and others standing aside speechless.
If this were really counted, I’m afraid there would be more than a hundred people.
Yadimu briefly looked at the list, and then picked ten people from it.
“That’s all.”
He casually handed the list to Cotton.
Yadimu was not prepared to expand, so he only killed a few direct male relatives and people with deep interests.
Some relationships such as lovers were naturally let go.
There were not many people in the entire Huamu Village. If too many were killed, wouldn’t it be Yadimu himself who would suffer in the end?
Ten people, no more and no less, is just right.
By killing these ten people, the influence of the previous leaders in Huamu Village can be minimized, giving Yadimu a clean village.
This can be regarded as cleaning the house, and then it will be ready to treat guests.
After that, Yadimu is also planning to bring some relatives of the Shaman Gang members to this place one after another, so that they can gradually enrich the area.
After dividing the fields, Yadimu still had a lot of fields on hand, many of which were cultivated fertile fields near water sources. It would be a pity not to use them.
This round trip is quite a fortune.
Not bad, I made a profit.
Yadimu was quite satisfied with the harvest from this trip.
Then he turned around and found a few people from Sailuo not far away looking at him.
There seemed to be anticipation in their eyes.
Atimu immediately understood what they meant, so he smiled: “Don’t worry, you will get it too.”
“After settling this group of people first, it will naturally be our turn.”
Only then did Sailuo and the others feel relieved.
Naturally, Yadimu would not forget the old subordinates who followed him.
After that, anyone within the Shaman Gang who meets certain conditions can receive a certain amount of land.
Of course, the people who got the land in front of them did not get it for nothing.
After taking over Yadimu’s land, they also had the obligation to contribute to Yadimu. From then on, they had to train during slack times and help Yadimu fight when necessary.
This is a simple militia.
Yadimu was equivalent to using the land as a price to hire these people and let them contribute to him.
At least in a short period of time, Yadimu can quickly obtain a group of effective forces.
“let’s start.”
As Yadimu nodded, the activity of dividing the fields continued.
This time, the standard for dividing the land was 50 acres for men and 20 acres for women.
Ten acres each for the elderly and children.
In other words, if a family has two elderly people and two children, plus the couple themselves, they can be directly allocated hundreds of acres of land.
This benefit is quite good.
That is to say, the surrounding area has not yet been cultivated, and there are enough fields to withstand such a situation.
Otherwise, there will be some problems.
When the fields were divided, Sailuo took someone to write the vouchers in person, making two copies as vouchers, which would make it easier to manage if there were any disputes later.
It’s free.
Yadimu was busy with this task alone for three days.
Three days later, Yadimu began to organize people to start production.
Now is the season for sowing grain. Although it is a little late, it is still farming season.
Yadimu had people get a batch of seeds from the city of Lima and provide them to every family.
Of course, this is just a loan, and you will definitely have to pay it back later.
It took a lot of time to finish these things.
This left Yadimu speechless.
He obviously came here to kill people and wipe out the gang of bandits, so why did he start coming here to organize production inexplicably?
This was not his original intention.
In the final analysis, it is because of the scarcity of talents under his command.
If he had more people who could do things, he could leave the work at hand to others and lead his own people to exterminate the group of bandits.
Instead of being like now, completely unable to free his hands.
But no matter what, Yadimu will eventually leave.
The existence of the Birch Bandit Group is a huge threat to this place.
If they are not dealt with, there will be no way to develop well here.
That’s for sure.
So after another few days of delay in the local area, he and his people started to continue their journey to the location of the bandit group.
The location chosen by the group of bandits was very good. It was on the top of a mountain. It looked easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it was difficult to get up there.
But this is not a problem for Yadimu and others.
With a local guide who was familiar with the terrain, they easily passed by and directly bypassed the trail.
When they arrived at the bandit camp, Yadimu was a little surprised.
“So easy?”
He looked at the sparse team in front of him, with a strange look on his face.
It has been several days since he arrived at Huamu Village.
But the bandit group here still seems to be calm and seems to be quite lazy.
Didn’t receive the message at all?
its not right.
This place is so close to Huamu Village. Yadimu doesn’t believe that everyone has no reaction to the changes in Huamu Village. They must be somewhat aware of it, right?
Or did they notice the change but didn’t care at all?
Yadimu thought this might be a big deal.
So he thought for a moment, and then continued forward.
Loken led his mountaineer hunters to form a team of archers and took the lead in attacking.
The gate was quickly breached.
At this time, the entire bandit group still seemed to have not reacted.
Most people are still lying inside and haven’t gone out.
When Yadimu led his men to kill them, they all dispersed and were directly dispersed.
Loken and Cotton rushed over.
Grete led several team captains to conduct the command.
Soon, the battle was over.
The leader of this place was captured, and the whole process ended extremely easily.
“Are you the new leader here?”
Yadimu looked at the person in front of him.
Standing in front of him was a burly middle-aged man.
